Key takeaways
- SALASAR reported consolidated net profit of Rs 5.14 cr, helped by a Rs 1.50 cr tax credit.
- Other income of Rs 3.50 cr was almost as large as the Rs 3.65 cr profit before tax.
- Interest cost of Rs 15.24 cr consumed most of the Rs 21.94 cr operating profit.
Profit quality was the central feature of Q1FY27
SALASAR's consolidated net profit of Rs 5.14 cr was supported by a Rs 1.50 cr tax credit, reflected in a tax rate of -41.04%. Other income of Rs 3.50 cr was also close to the Rs 3.65 cr profit before tax, so reported profit was not driven solely by operations.
Interest left limited operating profit below the line
The company generated Rs 21.94 cr of operating profit on revenue of Rs 295.54 cr, an operating margin of 7.42%. Interest expense was Rs 15.24 cr and depreciation was Rs 6.55 cr, leaving only Rs 3.65 cr before other income and tax.
