Key takeaways
- Standalone Q1FY27 operating profit was Rs 19.77 cr, but interest of Rs 6.2 cr and depreciation of Rs 7.03 cr reduced profit before tax to Rs 6.63 cr.
- Net profit was Rs 4.95 cr at a 25.36% tax rate, with other income of just Rs 0.1 cr offering little support.
- Revenue was Rs 197.51 cr and operating margin was 10.01%, with no sequential or year-on-year comparison available in the reported quarter.
Operating profit narrowed by financing and depreciation charges
Manomay reported standalone revenue of Rs 197.51 cr and operating profit of Rs 19.77 cr in Q1FY27. Interest of Rs 6.2 cr and depreciation of Rs 7.03 cr together took a large share of operating profit, leaving profit before tax at Rs 6.63 cr. Other income was only Rs 0.1 cr, so it did not materially change the operating-to-pre-tax conversion.
Tax reduced earnings further, without a comparison base
Net profit was Rs 4.95 cr after tax of Rs 1.68 cr, implying a reported tax rate of 25.36%. There are no sequential or year-on-year drivers in the reported data, so this quarter cannot be placed in a growth or margin trend. The available trend record also does not establish a direction across quarters.
