Key takeaways
- Consolidated operating profit was Rs 23.52 cr on revenue of Rs 178.67 cr, a 13.16% operating margin.
- Interest of Rs 9.36 cr and depreciation of Rs 8.11 cr reduced profit before tax to Rs 9.79 cr.
- Other income of Rs 3.74 cr was meaningful against profit before tax, while the 19.07% tax rate led to Rs 7.92 cr of net profit.
Operating profit came before heavy below-the-line charges
SAIPARENT generated Rs 178.67 cr of consolidated revenue and Rs 23.52 cr of operating profit in Q1FY27. The 13.16% operating margin shows that the main pressure on reported profit came after the operating line rather than from the operating result alone.
Interest and depreciation absorbed much of operating profit
Interest expense was Rs 9.36 cr and depreciation was Rs 8.11 cr, leaving profit before tax at Rs 9.79 cr. Other income of Rs 3.74 cr was a meaningful component of that pre-tax profit, so reported earnings were not solely generated by operations. The 19.07% tax rate reduced profit after tax to Rs 7.92 cr.
