Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit of Rs 0.98 cr left GSS with a 4.17% operating margin in Q1FY27.
- Interest of Rs 0.28 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.55 cr reduced operating profit to Rs 0.15 cr before tax.
- With other income and tax both at Rs 0.0 cr, net profit of Rs 0.15 cr was not supported by non-operating income or a lower tax charge.
Price around the results
A thin operating surplus in Q1FY27
Revenue of Rs 23.5 cr generated operating profit of Rs 0.98 cr, leaving a 4.17% operating margin. Expenses of Rs 22.52 cr absorbed most of the revenue, so the quarter produced only a narrow operating surplus.
Below-operating charges absorbed most of the surplus
Interest of Rs 0.28 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.55 cr took profit before tax down to Rs 0.15 cr from Rs 0.98 cr at the operating level. Other income was Rs 0.0 cr, while the tax rate was also 0.0%, so net profit matched profit before tax rather than receiving support from either line.
