Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit of Rs 6.19 cr was reduced to profit before tax of Rs 3.90 cr by Rs 2.70 cr of depreciation and Rs 0.71 cr of interest.
- Other income of Rs 1.11 cr was a meaningful contributor to the Rs 3.90 cr profit before tax, making reported profit less reliant on operations alone.
- A 26.38% tax rate left consolidated net profit at Rs 2.87 cr, with EPS of Rs 0.42.
Operating profit narrowed by the below-operating-cost bridge
The consolidated quarter generated Rs 6.19 cr of operating profit on revenue of Rs 48.86 cr. Depreciation of Rs 2.70 cr and interest of Rs 0.71 cr absorbed much of that operating profit, leaving profit before tax at Rs 3.90 cr. Other income of Rs 1.11 cr partly offset those charges.
Reported profit included a meaningful non-operating contribution
Other income of Rs 1.11 cr contributed materially to profit before tax of Rs 3.90 cr, so the quality of reported profit depends partly on income outside operations. Tax expense was Rs 1.03 cr at a 26.38% tax rate, resulting in consolidated net profit of Rs 2.87 cr and EPS of Rs 0.42.
