Price around the results
Finance costs erased much of Q2 operating profit
The consolidated quarter generated Rs 295.33 cr of revenue and Rs 28.22 cr of operating profit. Interest of Rs 8.49 cr and depreciation of Rs 8.97 cr absorbed much of that operating profit, leaving Rs 10.59 cr of profit before tax. The resulting EPS was Rs 0.34.
Operating margin trails Consumer Discretionary peers
Rushil Decor's 9.56% operating margin was 2.67 percentage points below the 12.23% median among 188 Consumer Discretionary companies that had reported the quarter. The company ranked 77th from the bottom on this comparison.
Low tax rate cushions reported profit
The 4.79% tax rate narrowed the gap between profit before tax and net profit, so reported earnings received support from taxation rather than from other income. Other income was negative at Rs 0.17 cr, and therefore did not add to profit quality.
