Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit of Rs 28.58 cr translated to an 8.28% operating margin on revenue of Rs 345.12 cr.
- Interest of Rs 11.12 cr was a material deduction from profit before tax of Rs 14.28 cr, leaving net profit at Rs 10.00 cr.
- Other income was limited to Rs 1.00 cr, so reported profit was driven mainly by operations rather than non-operating income.
Operating profit remained modest against revenue
The consolidated quarter produced Rs 28.58 cr of operating profit on revenue of Rs 345.12 cr, an 8.28% margin. Profit after tax was Rs 10.00 cr, with basic EPS at Rs 0.44. The gap between operating profit and net profit reflects the burden of interest and depreciation below the operating line.
Interest, rather than other income, shaped earnings
Interest expense of Rs 11.12 cr was a material charge against profit before tax of Rs 14.28 cr. Depreciation added another Rs 4.18 cr of deductions. Other income was Rs 1.00 cr, making it a limited contributor to reported pre-tax profit, while the tax rate was 29.94%.
