CMPDI generated Rs 228.50 cr of operating profit from Rs 826.88 cr of revenue, leaving Rs 187.82 cr of net profit after Rs 67.30 cr of tax. Other income of Rs 26.64 cr added to pre-tax profit, while interest expense was only Rs 0.02 cr. The reported EPS was Rs 2.63.
Margin stands well above the Industrials peer set
The 27.63% operating margin was 12.02 percentage points higher than the 15.61% median among 70 Industrials companies that had reported the same quarter. With no sequential or year-on-year comparison in the release data, the quarter's cost and margin direction cannot be assessed against earlier periods. The 26.38% tax rate means the reported profit was after a material tax charge rather than a zero-tax benefit.
