Operating profit narrowed sharply before the bottom line
SDBL reported consolidated revenue of Rs 268.63 cr and operating profit of Rs 14.96 cr for Q1FY27. The 5.57% operating margin left limited room for interest and depreciation before profit before tax fell to Rs 2.15 cr. Net profit was Rs 1.56 cr, translating into EPS of Rs 0.08.
Interest and depreciation were the main earnings drag
Interest expense was Rs 4.51 cr and depreciation was Rs 8.53 cr, together absorbing most of the operating profit. Other income was only Rs 0.23 cr, so it did not materially cushion the pre-tax result. Tax was Rs 0.59 cr at a 27.36% tax rate.
After-close filing leaves the market response open
The consolidated results were filed at 18:23 IST on 11 August 2026, after market close. There is therefore no immediate market reaction to assess, and the stock's usual post-results response cannot yet be put in context.
