Price around the results
Non-operating income drove the profit profile
The reported profit profile was led by non-operating income: Rs 42.04 cr of other income came alongside Rs 21.32 cr of operating profit. Interest of Rs 11.79 cr and depreciation of Rs 7.58 cr reduced operating earnings before profit before tax reached Rs 43.98 cr. This makes the Rs 38.74 cr consolidated net profit dependent on both operating performance and the other-income line.
Margin was ahead of the Energy peer median
Sindhu Trade Links’ 16.50% operating margin was 1.12 percentage points above the 15.38% median for the 20 Energy companies that had reported the quarter. It ranked 13th from the bottom among those peers, placing it above the sector midpoint but not among the leading margins.
