Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit of Rs 5.95 cr was largely absorbed by Rs 2.18 cr of interest and Rs 3.59 cr of depreciation, leaving profit before tax at Rs 0.29 cr.
- A 48.28% tax rate reduced the quarter's thin pre-tax profit to net profit of Rs 0.15 cr.
- The 19.93% operating margin did not translate into meaningful earnings because financing and depreciation costs consumed most of operating profit.
Operating profit was absorbed below the operating line
DAM Capital reported consolidated revenue of Rs 29.86 cr and operating profit of Rs 5.95 cr in Q1FY27. Interest of Rs 2.18 cr and depreciation of Rs 3.59 cr together left only Rs 0.29 cr of profit before tax.
High tax rate compounded a thin pre-tax result
The 48.28% tax rate reduced the Rs 0.29 cr pre-tax profit to Rs 0.15 cr of consolidated net profit. Other income was Rs 0.11 cr, so the quarter's earnings were not materially supported by non-operating income.
