Key takeaways
- LALITHAA reported consolidated Q1FY27 net profit of Rs 208.22 cr, with operating margin at 6.18%.
- Interest of Rs 62.34 cr and depreciation of Rs 30.46 cr reduced operating profit of Rs 372.84 cr to pre-tax profit of Rs 283.58 cr.
- Other income was Rs 3.54 cr, so the quarter's pre-tax profit was not materially supported by non-operating income.
Operating profit narrowed by finance and non-cash charges
LALITHAA generated Rs 372.84 cr of operating profit from Rs 6,031.23 cr of revenue in consolidated Q1FY27. Interest of Rs 62.34 cr and depreciation of Rs 30.46 cr brought profit before tax down to Rs 283.58 cr. Tax of Rs 75.37 cr then resulted in net profit of Rs 208.22 cr.
Profit quality was largely operating-led
Other income was Rs 3.54 cr, a small contribution relative to profit before tax of Rs 283.58 cr. This means the reported profit was primarily shaped by operating earnings, finance costs, depreciation and tax rather than investment or other non-core income. The tax rate was 26.58%.
