BENGALURU(Reuters) -India's Zee Entertainment Enterprises reported a quarterly profit on Friday, compared with a loss a year earlier, helped by strong demand for advertising and a fall in expenses. The company posted a profit of 133.5 million rupees ($1.60 million) from a year-ago loss of 1.96 billion rupees. Domestic advertising revenue for the quarter rose nearly 11% year-on-year, driven by the continued recovery in the macro advertising environment and spending pickup by FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) clients, Zee said in a filing with exchanges.
Zee Entertainment Enterprises said on Tuesday it was withdrawing an application filed with an Indian company tribunal that was aimed at forcing Sony to merge its India unit with the company. The decision to withdraw the application, which was filed in January, will enable the company to "aggressively pursue" all its claims against Sony in the ongoing arbitration proceedings at the Singapore International Arbitration Center (SICA) and in other forums, Zee said in an exchange filing. Sony scrapped the $10 billion merger of its Indian arm with Zee Entertainment in January, in part because Zee failed to meet some financial terms of the deal and come up with a plan to address them.
Indian broadcaster Zee Entertainment will cut 15% of its workforce, it said on Friday, in its latest bid to trim costs. Zee has had two major deals fail in recent months - a $10 billion merger with Sony India and a $1.4 billion cricket broadcasting deal with Walt Disney. Its cash reserves also fell to 2.48 billion rupees in the six months ended Sept. 30, from 5.88 billion rupees a year earlier.
