- Other income of Rs 4.14 cr was nearly as large as operating profit of Rs 4.62 cr, making reported profit dependent on non-operating income.
- Consolidated revenue of Rs 65.27 cr translated into a 7.07% operating margin before the other-income contribution.
- A 24.67% tax rate left net profit at Rs 5.61 cr, with EPS at Rs 5.62.
Other income shaped reported profit
Smartlink's consolidated operating profit was Rs 4.62 cr, while other income added Rs 4.14 cr. That makes the Rs 7.44 cr profit before tax notably reliant on income outside the operating business. Net profit was Rs 5.61 cr after a 24.67% tax rate.
A narrow operating spread over costs
Expenses of Rs 60.66 cr absorbed most of the Rs 65.27 cr revenue, leaving a 7.07% operating margin. The Rs 1.09 cr depreciation charge and Rs 0.22 cr interest expense further reduced profit after operations, although the larger reported support came from other income.
