Filed 13 Aug 2026, 16:21 IST · after market close · KSOILS (KSOILS)
Key takeaways
- KSOILS reported a standalone net loss of Rs 5.76 cr in Q1FY27 despite operating profit of Rs 3.70 cr.
- Depreciation of Rs 6.14 cr and interest of Rs 2.67 cr more than offset operating profit, taking profit before tax to a loss of Rs 4.55 cr.
- The 2.28% operating margin left little cushion, while a tax expense of Rs 1.21 cr widened the reported loss.
Operating profit was not enough to absorb fixed charges
KSOILS generated standalone operating profit of Rs 3.70 cr, but depreciation of Rs 6.14 cr and interest of Rs 2.67 cr pushed profit before tax to a loss of Rs 4.55 cr. Other income of Rs 0.56 cr was small relative to the pre-tax loss and did not materially offset those charges.
Thin margin left limited protection below the operating line
The 2.28% operating margin indicates that only a small portion of revenue remained after expenses before depreciation and interest. A further tax expense of Rs 1.21 cr was reported despite the pre-tax loss, taking net loss to Rs 5.76 cr and the tax rate to -26.59%.
