Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit of Rs 13.56 cr was more than absorbed by Rs 14.12 cr of interest, leaving a pre-tax loss of Rs 4.73 cr.
- The company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 3.54 cr, with EPS at Rs -0.83.
- Other income of Rs 0.38 cr was too small to materially offset the finance burden, while the operating margin was 17.46%.
Finance costs outweighed operating earnings
Asian Hotels reported a consolidated operating profit of Rs 13.56 cr, but interest expense was Rs 14.12 cr. That left the company with a pre-tax loss of Rs 4.73 cr despite positive operating earnings. Other income of Rs 0.38 cr provided little offset.
Operating margin was positive, but leverage dominated
The consolidated operating margin was 17.46%, showing that the business generated an operating surplus before financing costs. The loss below operating profit was driven primarily by interest, with depreciation at Rs 4.56 cr adding to the charge below operating profit. The tax line was a credit of Rs 1.19 cr, but it did not prevent a net loss of Rs 3.54 cr.
