Key takeaways
- Consolidated net profit was Rs 16.55 cr after Rs 14.83 cr of interest and Rs 27.95 cr of depreciation in Q1FY27.
- Other income of Rs 7.25 cr contributed to consolidated pre-tax profit of Rs 22.44 cr, making earnings less purely operational.
- Management said the network reached 149 CT centres and 42 MRI centres, up by four and two respectively from Q1FY26.
Interest and depreciation narrowed the operating-to-net profit conversion
Krsnaa reported consolidated operating profit of Rs 57.98 cr, but interest of Rs 14.83 cr and depreciation of Rs 27.95 cr reduced pre-tax profit to Rs 22.44 cr. Tax of Rs 5.88 cr then left net profit at Rs 16.55 cr. Other income of Rs 7.25 cr also contributed to pre-tax profit, so reported earnings were not generated entirely by operations.
The network expanded despite the Tamil Nadu MRI exit
Management said the CT network reached 149 centres in Q1FY27, four more than in Q1FY26, while the MRI network reached 42 centres, up by two. The company said the diagnostic platform continued to expand despite discontinuing MRI services in Tamil Nadu. The presentation also said Krsnaa had 120 NABL and NABH accreditations, versus 53 for the next peer.
Operating margin provides the main quarterly marker
The consolidated operating margin was 24.62%, with the cost base at Rs 177.55 cr against revenue of Rs 235.53 cr. The gap between operating profit and pre-tax profit shows that financing and depreciation costs remain important in assessing the quarter beyond operating performance.
