Key takeaways
- Consolidated Q1FY27 profit before tax was Rs 4.52 cr after interest of Rs 18.86 cr and depreciation of Rs 28.55 cr absorbed most of operating profit.
- Other income of Rs 4.53 cr was almost equal to profit before tax, making the reported profit heavily dependent on non-operating income.
- A zero tax charge left net profit at Rs 4.52 cr and EPS at Rs 0.04 despite an operating margin of 16.35%.
Operating profit was largely consumed below the operating line
Coffee Day reported consolidated revenue of Rs 289.9 cr and operating profit of Rs 47.4 cr in Q1FY27. Interest of Rs 18.86 cr and depreciation of Rs 28.55 cr reduced that operating profit to Rs 4.52 cr of profit before tax. The resulting EPS was Rs 0.04.
Reported profit quality was weak
Other income of Rs 4.53 cr was slightly higher than profit before tax of Rs 4.52 cr, so nearly all reported pre-tax profit came from outside operations. The zero tax charge meant profit before tax flowed through fully to net profit, rather than reflecting an underlying tax burden.
