Key takeaways
- Standalone net profit of Rs 32.00 was supported by Rs 27.96 of other income, making earnings quality a key consideration.
- Operating margin was 10.49%, while the 10.61% tax rate also supported the conversion of pre-tax profit into net profit.
- Revenue of Rs 101.34 generated operating profit of only Rs 10.63, leaving reported profit heavily dependent on non-operating items.
Operating earnings lag reported profit
Albert David reported standalone revenue of Rs 101.34 crore and operating profit of Rs 10.63 crore in Q1FY27. Net profit was Rs 32.00 crore, a wide gap that reflects the contribution of Rs 27.96 crore in other income rather than operating earnings alone.
Low tax rate added to profit conversion
The 10.49% operating margin shows that the core business generated a relatively small portion of reported pre-tax profit. The 10.61% tax rate further supported net profit of Rs 32.00 crore against pre-tax profit of Rs 35.79 crore.
