Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit was a loss of Rs 14.94 cr, leaving operating margin at -207.78%.
- Other income of Rs 36.41 cr exceeded profit before tax of Rs 20.71 cr, making reported profit dependent on non-operating income.
- The company reported consolidated net profit of Rs 15.49 cr and EPS of Rs 1.46 despite the operating loss.
Operating loss overshadows reported profit
Oricon Enterprises reported consolidated revenue of Rs 7.19 cr against expenses of Rs 22.14 cr, resulting in an operating loss of Rs 14.94 cr. The resulting operating margin of -207.78% shows that the reported net profit did not come from the core operating business. Net profit was Rs 15.49 cr, with EPS of Rs 1.46.
Other income is the central profit driver
Other income of Rs 36.41 cr was larger than profit before tax of Rs 20.71 cr and more than offset the operating loss. Interest at Rs 0.13 cr and depreciation at Rs 0.62 cr were small relative to the operating deficit. A tax rate of 24.41% reduced profit after tax to Rs 15.49 cr, but the key quality issue remains the reliance on other income.
