- Consolidated Q1FY27 operating margin was 4.53%, with Rs 20.71 cr of operating profit on revenue of Rs 456.75 cr.
- Other income of Rs 5.26 cr was a meaningful component of consolidated profit before tax of Rs 11.96 cr.
- A 23.68% tax rate resulted in consolidated net profit of Rs 9.13 cr and EPS of Rs 0.82.
Low operating conversion in Q1FY27
The key feature of the consolidated quarter was low operating conversion: revenue of Rs 456.75 cr produced operating profit of Rs 20.71 cr, or a 4.53% margin. This leaves the reported result more dependent on items below operating profit than a higher-margin quarter would be.
Other income and below-operating costs shaped profit
Other income of Rs 5.26 cr was material against profit before tax of Rs 11.96 cr, so reported profit included a meaningful non-operating contribution. Interest of Rs 2.95 cr and depreciation of Rs 11.07 cr further reduced operating profit before tax was reached. The 23.68% tax rate brought net profit to Rs 9.13 cr.
Results were filed after market close
The consolidated results were filed after market close on 6 August 2026, so there is no market reaction to assess yet. The next quarter will show whether operating profitability improves without greater reliance on other income.
