Morn Media Limited Standalone Cash Flow Statement (Rs in Lakhs) 

Summary of cash flow statement for the year 2025 and 2024:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

The operating activities of Morn Media Limited show a net cash outflow of ₹9.59 lakh in FY 2025, which is higher than ₹7.73 lakh in FY 2024. The company reported a loss before tax of ₹1.05 lakh, compared to a profit in the previous year, indicating declining profitability. After adjusting for non-operating incomes like gains on financial assets, profit on investments, and interest income, the operational loss widened further to ₹9.58 lakh. Additionally, there was no contribution from working capital changes, unlike the previous year where a small positive adjustment existed. Overall, this reflects that the company’s core business operations are weak and continuously consuming cash, which is a negative sign for long-term sustainability.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

The company generated ₹5.10 lakh from investing activities in FY 2025, compared to a much higher ₹11.55 lakh in FY 2024. The inflows came mainly from maturity of fixed deposits (₹12.66 lakh), redemption of investments (₹5.00 lakh), and interest received (₹1.19 lakh). However, these were partially offset by a significant outflow towards new fixed deposits (₹13.75 lakh). The lower net inflow compared to last year indicates that investment-related cash support has reduced, even though the company continues to actively manage its investment portfolio.

Net Change in Cash Position

Overall, the company experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of ₹4.49 lakh, compared to an increase of ₹3.82 lakh in the previous year. As a result, cash balance declined sharply from ₹4.71 lakh at the beginning of the year to just ₹0.22 lakh at the end. This significant drop is mainly due to high operating cash losses and reduced inflows from investing activities, indicating weakening liquidity and potential short-term financial stress if the trend continues.

Financial Ratios of Morn Media Limited

Summary of ratios for the year 2025 and 2024: 

Current Ratio

The current ratio of the company stands at 151.94 in FY 2025, slightly lower than 153.37 in FY 2024. Although there is a marginal decline, the ratio is still extremely high, indicating that the company has a very large amount of current assets compared to current liabilities. This suggests strong liquidity, but at the same time it may also reflect inefficient utilization of resources, as excess funds may be lying idle instead of being productively used.

Return on Equity

The return on equity has declined to -0.67% in FY 2025 from a positive 1.72% in FY 2024. This shift from positive to negative indicates that the company has failed to generate returns for its shareholders during the year. The negative ROE reflects reduced profitability and inefficient use of shareholders’ funds.

Net Profit Ratio

The net profit ratio has dropped significantly to -9.68% in FY 2025, compared to a strong 20.96% in FY 2024. This sharp decline shows that the company has moved from earning healthy profits to incurring losses. It indicates poor cost management or reduced revenue, resulting in overall negative profitability.

Return on Capital Employed

ROCE has decreased to -0.86% in FY 2025 from 1.74% in FY 2024. This indicates that the company is not generating adequate returns from its total capital employed. The negative ratio reflects inefficiency in utilizing long-term funds and overall weak operational performance.

Return on Investment

The return on investment stands at 7.39% in FY 2025, slightly lower than 8.81% in FY 2024. Although it remains positive, the decline suggests that returns from investments have reduced, which may impact the company’s reliance on investment income as a supporting source of earnings.
