Key takeaways

- Revenue of Rs 41.67 cr produced operating profit of Rs 31.81 cr, while expenses were Rs 9.86 cr.

High operating margin, limited by financing cost
AFIL's standalone Q1FY27 revenue of Rs 41.67 cr translated into operating profit of Rs 31.81 cr, as expenses were Rs 9.86 cr. The 76.33% operating margin is the defining feature of the quarter, but Rs 17.5 cr of interest reduced profit before tax to Rs 14.15 cr. Depreciation was only Rs 0.26 cr, making financing cost the larger below-operating charge.
Other income did not flatter reported earnings
Net profit was Rs 11.57 cr after tax of Rs 2.57 cr at an 18.18% tax rate. Other income was Rs 0.1 cr, so reported earnings were not materially supported by non-operating income.
Results filed after market close
