- Interest of Rs 13.22 cr and depreciation of Rs 11.53 cr absorbed most of the Rs 25.44 cr operating profit before tax.
- The 23.73% operating margin produced consolidated net profit of Rs 6.79 cr after a 25.65% tax rate.
Operating profit was diluted below the operating line
ROHLTD reported consolidated operating profit of Rs 25.44 cr, but interest of Rs 13.22 cr and depreciation of Rs 11.53 cr sharply reduced the amount left before tax. Together, these charges consumed most of operating profit, leaving consolidated PBT at Rs 9.14 cr.
Other income was a major part of reported profit
Other income of Rs 8.45 cr was nearly as large as PBT of Rs 9.14 cr. That means the quarter's reported pre-tax earnings were supported almost as much by non-operating income as by the operating business. A 25.65% tax rate then reduced PBT to net profit of Rs 6.79 cr.
The quarter sets a profit-quality marker
The 23.73% operating margin shows that the operating business generated a sizeable profit relative to revenue, but financing, depreciation and other-income effects dominated the movement from operating profit to net profit. With no sequential or year-on-year comparison provided, the key read-through is the gap between operating profit of Rs 25.44 cr and net profit of Rs 6.79 cr.
