Key takeaways
- Consolidated Q1FY27 operating profit of Rs 45.96 cr translated into profit before tax of Rs 41.09 cr after Rs 2.05 cr of interest and Rs 3.43 cr of depreciation.
- Net profit was Rs 30.70 cr at a 25.30% tax rate, leaving tax as a significant charge on pre-tax earnings.
- Other income of Rs 0.61 cr was small relative to profit before tax, so reported earnings were driven mainly by operations.
Operating profit set the earnings base
The consolidated result was built around operating profit of Rs 45.96 cr on revenue of Rs 266.64 cr, rather than a material contribution from non-operating income. Other income was only Rs 0.61 cr, making the quality of reported profit primarily operational.
Interest and depreciation narrowed pre-tax conversion
Interest of Rs 2.05 cr and depreciation of Rs 3.43 cr reduced operating profit to profit before tax of Rs 41.09 cr. Tax of Rs 10.39 cr at a 25.30% rate then brought net profit to Rs 30.70 cr, with EPS at Rs 10.23.
