Q1 establishes an 18.91% operating-margin benchmark
Arkade’s consolidated Q1FY27 revenue of Rs 146.97 cr generated Rs 27.8 cr of operating profit. With no period comparison in the release, the 18.91% operating margin is the clearest starting point for judging subsequent execution.
Depreciation and tax were larger deductions than interest
Profit before tax was Rs 26.11 cr after Rs 3.18 cr of depreciation and Rs 0.22 cr of interest. Other income added Rs 1.7 cr, so part of pre-tax earnings came from outside operations. Net profit was Rs 19.08 cr after Rs 7.03 cr of tax, with the 26.92% tax rate an important part of the earnings conversion.
The filing came after the market closed
