Key takeaways
- Standalone net profit of Rs 0.35 cr exceeded pre-tax profit of Rs 0.33 cr because the tax line was a negative Rs 0.02 cr.
- Operating profit of Rs 0.34 cr on revenue of Rs 1.77 cr implies a 19.02% operating margin, with no interest expense reported.
- Other income of Rs 0.04 cr supplemented pre-tax profit of Rs 0.33 cr, while EPS was Rs 0.12.
Tax line shaped reported earnings
AURUS's standalone net profit was higher than pre-tax profit because the tax line was negative Rs 0.02 cr, creating a tax credit rather than a charge. Other income of Rs 0.04 cr added to pre-tax profit, but the larger earnings distinction was the tax effect.
Operating margin held at 19.02%
The company generated Rs 0.34 cr of operating profit from Rs 1.77 cr of revenue, giving a 19.02% operating margin. Interest expense was zero, so depreciation of Rs 0.05 cr and the negative tax line were the main below-operating-profit items visible in the quarter.
No comparison or market reaction to frame the quarter
