In short

Network18 reported operating EBITDA of ₹19 crore in Q2 FY26. That was better than an operating loss of ₹0.5 crore in the same quarter last year, and the margin improved to 3.4% from -0.1%.

This matters because the company moved back into operating profit at the EBITDA level. The available report does not give the revenue number or explain the industry headwinds in detail.
