Low-margin quarter ends with modest standalone profit
PRAKASHSTL reported standalone revenue of Rs 16.81 cr and operating profit of Rs 0.44 cr in Q1FY27. The 2.64% operating margin left limited room between operating earnings and the Rs 0.16 cr net profit.
Depreciation was the main drag below operating profit
Depreciation of Rs 0.20 cr and interest of Rs 0.03 cr reduced operating profit of Rs 0.44 cr to profit before tax of Rs 0.22 cr. Other income was only Rs 0.01 cr, so reported profit was not materially supported by non-operating income. Tax of Rs 0.05 cr reflected a 23.99% tax rate.
