Thin operating surplus turned into a net loss
Jay Shree Tea's consolidated revenue of Rs 206.17 cr left Rs 5.53 cr of operating profit after Rs 200.64 cr of expenses. The resulting operating margin was only 2.68%, leaving limited cover for below-operating charges.
Interest was the main pressure below operating profit
Interest of Rs 10.31 cr and depreciation of Rs 5.68 cr more than offset the Rs 5.53 cr operating profit, taking profit before tax to a loss of Rs 5.94 cr. Other income of Rs 4.52 cr reduced the drag but did not prevent the loss. The tax rate was 0%, so the absence of a tax charge did not change the reported net loss.
