Operating profit converted into Rs 19.90 cr of net profit
ARDEE's standalone revenue was Rs 338.81 cr, against expenses of Rs 305.28 cr, leaving Rs 33.53 cr of operating profit. After interest and depreciation, profit before tax was Rs 26.68 cr and net profit was Rs 19.90 cr.
Interest and depreciation were the main deductions below operations
Interest of Rs 4.33 cr and depreciation of Rs 2.75 cr absorbed much of the gap between operating profit and profit before tax. Other income was only Rs 0.23 cr, so reported profit was not materially supported by non-operating income; tax was charged at 25.39%.
