Price around the results
Operating profit held above the sector benchmark
Foseco India’s consolidated operating margin of 22.98% was 5.42 percentage points above the 17.56% median among 79 commodities peers that had reported the quarter. The comparison places its operating performance above the sector midpoint, though no sequential or year-on-year direction is available in this quarter’s reported set.
Depreciation was the main drag below operating profit
Depreciation of Rs 8.13 cr was the main reported charge between operating profit of Rs 53.18 cr and pre-tax profit of Rs 50.12 cr. Other income of Rs 5.15 cr partly offset that reduction, so reported pre-tax earnings included a meaningful non-operating contribution; interest was negligible at Rs 0.08 cr.
