Key takeaways

- Other income of Rs 1.59 cr supplemented the quarter's Rs 8.22 cr pre-tax profit, so earnings were not entirely operating-led.
- The bridge from Rs 15.07 cr of operating profit to pre-tax profit included Rs 3.19 cr of interest and Rs 5.25 cr of depreciation.
Operating earnings set the base
The standalone quarter produced an 8.62% operating margin on Rs 174.92 cr of revenue, translating into Rs 15.07 cr of operating profit. Net profit was Rs 6.14 cr, showing that the operating result did not pass through fully after below-operating charges.
Other income supported pre-tax profit
The bridge from Rs 15.07 cr of operating profit to Rs 8.22 cr of pre-tax profit included Rs 3.19 cr of interest and Rs 5.25 cr of depreciation. Other income of Rs 1.59 cr partly offset those charges, making the non-operating contribution a point to track in reported earnings quality.
Tax left EPS at Rs 2.06
Tax was Rs 2.08 cr at a 25.26% tax rate, leaving standalone EPS of Rs 2.06. The next reported period will show whether the 8.62% operating margin and the Rs 1.59 cr contribution from other income are sustained.
