Price around the results
Financing costs erased operating profit
Valor Estate reported consolidated operating profit of Rs 24.31 cr, but interest expense was higher at Rs 30.47 cr. Depreciation of Rs 1.47 cr and the resulting financing burden pushed profit before tax to a loss of Rs 1.19 cr. Net profit was a loss of Rs 1.33 cr, with EPS at Rs -0.02.
Operating margin stood above the peer median
The 21.95% operating margin was 9.08 percentage points above the Consumer Discretionary median of 12.87% across 180 reported peers. That operating performance did not translate into net profit because interest costs exceeded operating profit. Other income of Rs 6.43 cr was not enough to offset the below-operating-line charges.
