Comment on Financial Performance Mr. Bejoy Arputharaj, Director, Phantom Digital Effects Limited said, “The growth witnessed in our H2 FY24 and overall FY24 performance underscores the effectiveness of our timely strategic decisions to diversify, the unwavering dedication of our team, and the trust bestowed upon us by our clients.

Despite encountering industry challenges, such as the temporary disruptions caused by actors’ and writers’ strikes, we adeptly navigated through them. Our strategic expansion within the Indian market played a pivotal role in achieving outstanding results.

Aligned with our success in H2 FY24, the acquisition of Tippett Studio represents a significant milestone for PhantomFX. Recognizing an excellent opportunity upon Tippett Studio’s availability for acquisition, known for its groundbreaking contributions to iconic films like JURASSIC PARK and STAR WARS, we capitalized on this strategic fit. Importantly, the acquisition was made below its intrinsic value, positioning us for substantial revenue growth of 20-25% in FY24-25. With esteemed industry veteran Phil Tippett joining our ranks and a substantial order book, we are well-prepared for future triumphs.

Looking forward, we are committed to expanding into animation and gaming sectors while concentrating on global markets, particularly in America and Europe, which offer significant growth prospects. We are prioritizing collaboration with AI to drive efficiency and innovation, while also seeking partnerships with industry leaders and startups to access cutting-edge technologies and talent. With our strategically located offices in key global markets, we are poised to extend our reach and capitalize on the abundant value creation opportunities offered by global business. We are also exploring new revenue streams such as IP licensing and original content creation, reaffirming our dedication to sustained growth and innovation.”
