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.

Results were filed after market close

The company filed its consolidated Q1FY27 results at 18:13 IST on 12 Aug 2026, after market close. The next trading session will provide the market's initial response to the loss and the 2.30% operating margin.
