Key takeaways
- Consolidated Q1FY27 revenue of Rs 519.88 cr produced operating profit of Rs 9.28 cr, but the company reported a net loss of Rs 33.62 cr.
- Interest of Rs 14.01 cr and depreciation of Rs 19.16 cr, alongside other income of -Rs 8.37 cr, pushed profit before tax to a loss of Rs 32.26 cr.
- The 1.44% tax rate did little to offset the below-operating charges, with consolidated EPS at -Rs 1.65.
Operating profit did not cover below-line charges
Expenses of Rs 510.6 cr absorbed almost all of consolidated revenue of Rs 519.88 cr, leaving operating profit of Rs 9.28 cr. Interest of Rs 14.01 cr and depreciation of Rs 19.16 cr together exceeded operating profit, taking profit before tax to a loss of Rs 32.26 cr. Other income was negative at Rs 8.37 cr, adding to the pre-tax loss.
Low tax charge could not change the loss
The tax line was a credit of Rs 0.46 cr, reflected in a 1.44% tax rate. That limited tax benefit was not enough to offset the interest, depreciation and negative other-income lines, leaving net profit at a loss of Rs 33.62 cr and EPS at -Rs 1.65.
Management highlights environmental and efficiency upgrades
Management said the company moved from periodic monitoring to real-time environmental visibility through online installations and infrastructure upgrades. The company also said it undertook a thermal insulation programme to reduce heat loss and improve energy use. Management further said it renovated the Occupational Health Centre to strengthen employee healthcare infrastructure.
