Risk Of Century Business Media IPO
- Our Company and Promoters is involved in certain legal proceeding(s) and potential litigations. Any adverse decision in such proceeding(s) may render them liable to liabilities/ penalties.
- Our business is significantly dependent on concession, licensing, and marketing agreements granted by government and quasi-government authorities, and failure to renew or retain such rights could materially and adversely affect our revenues and market position.
- We are required to provide substantial security deposits under our concession agreements, the forfeiture or invocation of which could materially affect our liquidity.
- Certain concession agreements require us to pay Minimum Monthly Guarantees (MMG) irrespective of revenue, and any inability to meet these obligations could materially affect our business and financial condition.
- We are yet to place orders for certain static and digital media assets for our Out-of-Home ("OOH") advertising business, and any delays could postpone implementation and increase costs.
- Our operations are geographically concentrated in a few Indian states, exposing us to region-specific economic, political, and regulatory risks.
- Our ability to execute city-based Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising campaigns depends on the availability and cost of suitable media sites, including hoardings, and any shortage or price escalation in such inventory may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Our Trade Payables Holding Period for Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025 was inadvertently miscalculated in the DRHP and the revised holding periods may differ from the previously disclosed figures.
- We are dependent on a limited number of high-revenue advertising rights and concession contracts at select airports and railway zones, and any failure to retain or renew these contracts could materially affect our revenue and profitability.
- Our Company's logo is not registered as on date of this Red Herring Prospectus. We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. Furthermore, we may be subject to claims alleging breach of third-party intellectual property rights which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
