Key takeaways
- NATCAPSUQ reported a consolidated Q1FY27 net loss of Rs 5.74 cr despite operating profit of Rs 1.12 cr.
- Interest of Rs 4.97 cr and depreciation of Rs 4.33 cr outweighed operating profit, leaving profit before tax at a loss of Rs 5.83 cr.
- Other income of Rs 2.35 cr provided limited relief, while operating margin was only 2.30%.
Operating profit did not reach the bottom line
Expenses nearly absorbed revenue, leaving the consolidated business with an operating margin of just 2.30% and operating profit of Rs 1.12 cr. That operating profit was insufficient to cover interest of Rs 4.97 cr and depreciation of Rs 4.33 cr, resulting in a pre-tax loss of Rs 5.83 cr.
Other income and tax credit offered limited relief
Other income of Rs 2.35 cr partly offset the operating shortfall, but the company still reported a net loss of Rs 5.74 cr. The tax line was a credit of Rs 0.09 cr, reflected in a 1.53% tax rate, and did not change the loss-making outcome.
