Key takeaways
- Aspinwall's consolidated Q1FY27 net loss was Rs 0.70 cr despite operating profit of Rs 1.09 cr, as interest and depreciation absorbed earnings.
- Interest of Rs 1.74 cr was larger than operating profit, while depreciation added Rs 1.50 cr of charges.
- Other income of Rs 1.61 cr exceeded operating profit, but the company still reported a profit-before-tax loss of Rs 0.54 cr.
Operating profit did not cover below-the-line costs
Aspinwall's consolidated revenue was Rs 113.18 cr, but operating profit of Rs 1.09 cr translated into a thin 0.96% operating margin. Interest of Rs 1.74 cr alone exceeded operating profit, and depreciation added another Rs 1.50 cr charge. The result was a profit-before-tax loss of Rs 0.54 cr.
Other income could not offset the earnings drag
Other income of Rs 1.61 cr was larger than operating profit, indicating that reported earnings had a meaningful non-operating contribution. It was still insufficient to offset interest and depreciation. A tax charge of Rs 0.16 cr further widened the loss to Rs 0.70 cr, with the tax rate at -29.63%.
