Key takeaways
- Standalone operating profit of Rs 10.8 cr was reduced to Rs 1.3 cr of pre-tax profit after Rs 6.76 cr interest and Rs 3.63 cr depreciation.
- A negative tax charge of Rs -0.07 cr lifted net profit to Rs 1.37 cr, above reported pre-tax profit.
- Other income of Rs 0.9 cr was material against Rs 1.3 cr pre-tax profit, so earnings were not driven solely by operations.
Operating earnings remained modest in Q1FY27
The standalone business generated Rs 10.8 cr of operating profit on Rs 98.82 cr of revenue, implying a 10.93% operating margin. The quarter's operating earnings were not enough to absorb Rs 6.76 cr of interest and Rs 3.63 cr of depreciation, leaving only Rs 1.3 cr before tax.
Tax and other income materially shaped net profit
Other income of Rs 0.9 cr was significant relative to Rs 1.3 cr of pre-tax profit, making the reported earnings mix less dependent on operating income. The negative tax charge of Rs -0.07 cr further lifted net profit to Rs 1.37 cr.
