Key takeaways
- ABAN’s consolidated Q4FY26 operating profit of Rs 19.93 cr was eroded by Rs 22.62 cr of depreciation, leaving net profit at Rs 1.8 cr.
- Other income of Rs 10.09 cr exceeded profit before tax of Rs 7.4 cr, making reported earnings heavily reliant on non-operating income.
- ABAN filed its consolidated Q4FY26 results after market close on 15 Aug 2026 at 14:24 IST.
Q4FY26 profit was squeezed below operating profit
The consolidated quarter generated Rs 19.93 cr of operating profit, but depreciation of Rs 22.62 cr pulled profit before tax down to Rs 7.4 cr. With no interest expense reported, the main bridge below operating profit was depreciation. Tax of Rs 5.6 cr then left net profit at Rs 1.8 cr, with EPS of Rs 0.31.
Other income and tax weaken earnings quality
Other income of Rs 10.09 cr was larger than the reported profit before tax of Rs 7.4 cr, so the quarter’s pre-tax result was not driven solely by operations. The 75.64% tax rate further limited conversion of pre-tax profit into net profit. No year-on-year or sequential comparison is available, so the quarter’s margin direction cannot be assessed.
