Commenting
on the performance, Mr. Fahim Batliwala, Chairman, Managing Director and
Promoter of SIMCA Advertising Limited, said “FY26
marks a defining milestone in SIMCA Advertising’s journey as we successfully
transitioned into a publicly listed company while delivering our strongest-ever
financial performance. Revenue grew by nearly 75% and profitability more than doubled
reflecting the strength of our business model and disciplined execution. More
importantly, these results validate our strategic transformation from a
traditional outdoor advertising company into a scalable media infrastructure
platform powered by premium assets, digital innovation and long-standing client
relationships and continued expansion across key markets.
As
India’s urban landscape evolves and advertisers increasingly seek measurable,
high-impact consumer engagement, we believe the opportunity for organised and
technology-led outdoor media players has never been stronger. With majority of
our revenue now coming from Digital Out-of-Home advertising, a growing
portfolio of premium media assets, strategic investments to expand our
ecosystem and a clear roadmap for expansion across key metropolitan markets, we
are building a future-ready business designed for sustainable growth. We remain
committed to creating long-term value through innovation, operational
excellence, strong governance and prudent capital allocation.”
The
Company’s net worth of Rs. 37.70 crore was restated to ₹29.03 crore arising
from the reclassification of reserves into share capital following the bonus
issue last year. The audited financial statements for FY26 received an unmodified
audit opinion, further reinforcing the Company’s commitment to strong
governance, transparency and financial discipline.
SIMCA
also generated robust operating cash flows during the year, with net cash from
operating activities increasing to ₹10.52 Crore from ₹3.31 Crore in FY25,
reflecting the quality of earnings and strong cash conversion. The Company
simultaneously accelerated investments in growth infrastructure, with Property,
Plant and Equipment increasing more than seven-fold during the year as it
expanded its outdoor media network and strengthened its operational
capabilities.
Importantly,
SIMCA’s underlying financial strength remains robust, supported by strong
profitability, healthy cash flows and a debt-free balance sheet, providing a
solid foundation for future growth.
Growth
Outlook
Over
the years, SIMCA has successfully evolved from a traditional outdoor
advertising company into a scalable media infrastructure platform with
nationwide execution capabilities, a strong portfolio of premium media assets
and a growing digital footprint driven by the rapid adoption of Digital Out-of-Home
(DOOH) advertising. Led by Chairman, Managing Director and Promoter Mr. Fahim
Batliwala, the Company has built a differentiated position through strategic
asset ownership, long-standing advertiser relationships and operational
excellence. What began as a billboard acquisition business has today
transformed into a comprehensive advertising solutions platform supported by a
network of over 250 partners across India, enabling seamless execution of
integrated campaigns across markets.
Today,
the Company’s revenue is increasingly generated through digital media formats,
enabling significantly higher inventory utilisation, improved asset
productivity and enhanced monetisation of premium locations. This
technology-led transformation combined with SIMCA’s strong presence across key
advertising corridors, positions the Company to benefit from the growing demand
for measurable, dynamic and high-impact media solutions.
Looking
ahead, SIMCA is focused on expanding its digital footprint, strengthening
ownership of premium media assets and replicating its successful Mumbai model
across high-growth metropolitan markets. Supported by a debt-free balance
sheet, strong execution capabilities and a scalable business model, the Company
is well-positioned to capitalise on favourable industry trends including
urbanisation, rising consumer mobility, infrastructure development and
increasing adoption of omni-channel advertising.
With
a clear strategic roadmap, strong industry fundamentals and growing
opportunities arising from sector consolidation and technology adoption, SIMCA
Advertising Limited remains focused on scaling its media portfolio and
strengthening premium asset ownership as well as confident of delivering
sustainable growth and sustainable long-term value creation for its
stakeholders.
