Media company DB Corp's first quarter (April-June) profit is seen falling 15 percent year-on-year to Rs 67.72 crore due to lower advertising revenue, according to a CNBC-TV18 poll. The most important thing to watch out for would be print advertising revenue growth.

The poll expects degrowth of 5 percent in print advertising revenue due to base effect and slow down in print advertising.

Total income from operations is expected to fall 0.6 percent to Rs 486.2 crore during April-June quarter compared to Rs 489.15 crore in the year-ago period. Operating profit may slip 11 percent Y-o-Y to Rs 119.7 crore and margin may decline by 290 basis points to 24.6 percent due to operating leverage.
