Key takeaways
- DECCANCE reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 7.39 cr in Q1FY27, with EPS at Rs -5.24.
- Operating profit of Rs 16.85 cr was largely absorbed by interest of Rs 15.67 cr and depreciation of Rs 15.52 cr, leaving profit before tax at Rs -9.50 cr.
- A Rs 2.11 cr tax benefit reduced the loss, while other income of Rs 4.84 cr was not enough to offset the pre-tax deficit.
Operating profit did not cover below-operating charges
DECCANCE generated operating profit of Rs 16.85 cr on revenue of Rs 219.34 cr, but interest of Rs 15.67 cr and depreciation of Rs 15.52 cr together exceeded operating earnings. Profit before tax was therefore negative at Rs 9.50 cr. Other income of Rs 4.84 cr provided some support but did not reverse the pre-tax loss.
Tax benefit softened the reported loss
The Rs 2.11 cr negative tax charge acted as a benefit and reduced the net loss to Rs 7.39 cr from the pre-tax loss of Rs 9.50 cr. That means the reported loss was partly cushioned below the operating line rather than by operating earnings. The consolidated operating margin was 7.68%.
