Key takeaways
- SANDESH’s consolidated operating profit was Rs 19.4 cr at a 4.23% margin, leaving reported earnings reliant on non-operating income.
- Other income of Rs 92.22 cr lifted profit before tax to Rs 110.04 cr, well above operating profit.
- Net profit was Rs 99.49 cr after Rs 10.55 cr of tax, with EPS at Rs 131.43.
Reported profit was led by other income
SANDESH’s consolidated Q1FY27 profit was shaped by a wide gap between operating and non-operating earnings. Operating profit of Rs 19.4 cr at a 4.23% margin was supplemented by Rs 92.22 cr of other income, taking profit before tax to Rs 110.04 cr. The Rs 99.49 cr net profit is therefore less representative of core operations than the headline EPS of Rs 131.43.
The cost base left a thin operating surplus
Expenses of Rs 438.78 cr against revenue of Rs 458.18 cr left limited operating surplus. Interest was Rs 0.04 cr and depreciation was Rs 1.54 cr, so the main earnings distinction was between the Rs 19.4 cr operating profit and the Rs 92.22 cr other income. The 9.59% tax rate resulted in Rs 10.55 cr of tax on reported pre-tax profit.
