- A 5.78% operating margin left Rs 4.66 cr of operating profit before interest, depreciation and tax reduced earnings further.

Q1FY27 revenue produced limited operating profit
On a consolidated basis, Rs 80.68 cr of revenue produced Rs 4.66 cr of operating profit, equivalent to a 5.78% operating margin. That operating profit converted into only Rs 1.30 cr of net profit after below-operating-line charges and tax.
Interest, depreciation and other income reduced earnings
Interest of Rs 0.73 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.85 cr reduced the amount left after operating profit. Other income was negative at Rs 0.99 cr, so non-operating items reduced rather than supported pre-tax profit.
Tax absorbed a sizeable share of pre-tax profit
Tax of Rs 0.79 cr represented a 37.90% tax rate and further narrowed profit conversion. With earnings per share at Rs 0.24, the quarter's reported profit remained modest relative to operating revenue.
