Operating profit set the base for Q1 earnings
BIL's consolidated operating profit of Rs 36.04 cr represented a 9.67% operating margin on Rs 372.8 cr of revenue. Profit before tax was Rs 23.04 cr, showing the gap between operating earnings and pre-tax profit after finance, depreciation and other items.
Interest was the main charge below operating profit
Interest expense was Rs 11.81 cr, while depreciation was Rs 4.31 cr, making both central to the bridge from operating profit to profit before tax. Other income of Rs 3.12 cr partly supported pre-tax earnings, but operating profit remained the larger reported earnings component.
Tax rate and other income shape profit quality
Net profit came in at Rs 17.76 cr after tax of Rs 5.27 cr, at a reported tax rate of 22.89%. The quarter's earnings should therefore be read alongside the Rs 3.12 cr of other income and the Rs 11.81 cr interest charge, rather than through net profit alone.
