Profit included a sizeable non-operating contribution
Jagran reported consolidated operating profit of Rs 70.03 cr, while profit before tax was Rs 81.02 cr. The difference reflects the contribution of Rs 31.74 cr in other income, making reported profit less dependent on operating earnings alone. Net profit after tax was Rs 61.23 cr.
Tax reduced the conversion from pre-tax to net profit
The reported tax rate was 24.42%, with tax expense of Rs 19.79 cr. That left Rs 61.23 cr of consolidated net profit from Rs 81.02 cr of profit before tax. EPS was Rs 2.70.
No quarter-on-quarter or year-on-year trend to assess
The available results do not include sequential or year-on-year comparison data, and there is no multi-quarter trend to establish. The quarter therefore stands out mainly for the gap between operating profit of Rs 70.03 cr and profit before tax of Rs 81.02 cr.
