Cinevista posts Rs 1.00 net profit at a 31.1% operating margin
Interest of Rs 0.49 and a 43.84% tax rate narrowed the conversion from Rs 2.33 of operating profit to Rs 1.00 of net profit.

Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit of Rs 2.33 came from a 31.1% operating margin, making operating conversion the key feature of Q1FY27.
- Net profit was Rs 1.00 after Rs 0.49 of interest and a 43.84% tax rate, so below-operating charges materially reduced profit conversion.
- Other income was only Rs 0.01 against Rs 1.78 of profit before tax, indicating that reported profit was not materially supported by non-operating income.
Operating conversion set the quarter
Cinevista reported consolidated revenue of Rs 7.49 and operating profit of Rs 2.33 in Q1FY27. The 31.1% operating margin shows that the main earnings contribution came from operations rather than other income. With no year-on-year or sequential comparison provided, the quarter is best read as a standalone operating baseline.
Interest and tax weighed below operations
Interest of Rs 0.49 was a meaningful deduction from operating profit, while depreciation was Rs 0.07. Tax of Rs 0.78 represented a 43.84% tax rate, limiting the conversion of Rs 1.78 profit before tax into Rs 1.00 net profit. Other income of Rs 0.01 was negligible, so it did not materially alter earnings quality.
