- Profit before tax of Rs 16.52 cr converted to net profit of Rs 12.23 cr after a 25.98% tax rate.

Operating profit sets the quarter's key read
Bharat Wire's standalone Q1FY27 results show operating profit of Rs 25.53 cr on revenue of Rs 130.39 cr. The 19.58% operating margin is the main indicator of the quarter's operating performance, while depreciation of Rs 6.58 cr and interest of Rs 2.76 cr reduced profit before tax to Rs 16.52 cr.
Reported profit had limited support from other income
Other income of Rs 0.33 cr was small relative to profit before tax of Rs 16.52 cr, indicating that the reported pre-tax result was not materially dependent on non-operating income. Tax of Rs 4.29 cr, equivalent to a 25.98% tax rate, reduced pre-tax profit to net profit of Rs 12.23 cr.
