Revenue grew, but expenses moved faster
AMANTA's standalone revenue increased +20.83% qoq to Rs 83.13 cr, while expenses rose +21.53% to Rs 65.94 cr. The faster cost growth meant operating profit increased by only +18.23% to Rs 17.19 cr, below the pace of revenue growth.
Margin slipped despite lower interest cost
Operating margin narrowed by 0.45 percentage points to 20.68% because expenses grew faster than revenue. Interest cost fell 2.67% qoq, but depreciation increased 12.58%, while the tax rate rose by 2.48 percentage points to 28.79%. Other income accounted for 11.13% of profit before tax, so reported profit also included a meaningful non-operating contribution.
Sequential profit improved, but margin direction remains weak
Compared with Q1FY27, profit before tax increased +52.12% and net profit rose +46.83%, helped partly by the lower interest cost and higher operating profit. However, the operating margin decline from 21.13% to 20.68% marks a sequential deterioration in profitability.
