Expenses exceeded revenue and pushed operations into the red
Quick Heal's consolidated expenses of Rs 62.56 cr were higher than revenue of Rs 44.99 cr, resulting in an operating loss of Rs 17.57 cr. The operating margin was therefore -39.05%, showing that the reported revenue did not cover the expense base. Depreciation added Rs 3.85 cr below operating profit.
Other income softened the loss, but did not change its quality
Other income of Rs 14.1 cr materially reduced the operating loss before tax, bringing profit before tax to a loss of Rs 7.32 cr. Interest was nil, so financing costs did not add to the decline.
