Q2 revenue growth outpaced cost growth
RNBDENIMS reported consolidated revenue growth of +25.05% QoQ, while expenses increased +22.31%. That operating leverage lifted operating profit by +60.11% and expanded operating margin by 2.04 percentage points to 9.33%. The quarter followed Q1FY27, when operating margin was 7.29%.
Lower interest and tax rate amplified profit growth
Interest expense fell -21.76% sequentially, partly offsetting a 31.89% rise in depreciation. Profit before tax grew +125.50%, while the tax rate declined by 9.66 percentage points to 17.83%. Other income represented 47.87% of profit before tax, so the reported profit increase was not driven by operations alone.
