Key takeaways
- ASTEC reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 18.71 cr in Q1FY27, with operating profit already negative at Rs -0.67 cr.
- Expenses of Rs 84.23 cr exceeded revenue of Rs 83.56 cr, while interest and depreciation added Rs 7.73 cr and Rs 11.07 cr below operating profit.
- Other income of Rs 0.73 cr was small against the Rs -18.74 cr pre-tax loss, and the results were filed after market close.
Operating loss set the quarter's tone
ASTEC's consolidated expenses exceeded revenue by Rs 0.67 cr, leaving operating profit at Rs -0.67 cr. This means the loss began at the operating level rather than arising only from financing or exceptional items. Other income of Rs 0.73 cr was too small to offset the operating shortfall and subsequent charges.
Interest and depreciation deepened the loss
Interest of Rs 7.73 cr and depreciation of Rs 11.07 cr further reduced profit below the operating line, resulting in a pre-tax loss of Rs 18.74 cr. The tax charge was Rs -0.03 cr, with a tax rate of 0.16%, so tax did not materially change the reported loss. EPS was Rs -8.40.
After-close filing leaves the reaction pending
The consolidated results were filed on 31 Jul 2026 at 21:46 IST, after market close. A post-results stock reaction is therefore not part of this update.
