Key takeaways
- The standalone quarter generated operating profit of Rs 0.38 cr, but interest of Rs 0.49 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.41 cr pushed profit before tax to a loss of Rs 0.47 cr.
- The 8.62% operating margin did not translate into earnings, while the reported tax benefit of Rs 0.38 cr narrowed the net loss to Rs 0.09 cr.
- The standalone results were filed after market close at 19:07 IST on 20 Aug 2026, so there is no immediate stock reaction to assess.
Operating profit was not enough to cover financing and depreciation
The standalone business produced an operating profit of Rs 0.38 cr on revenue of Rs 4.36 cr, implying an operating margin of 8.62%. Interest expense of Rs 0.49 cr exceeded operating profit, while depreciation added another Rs 0.41 cr charge. The result was a pre-tax loss of Rs 0.47 cr.
The tax line reduced the reported net loss
Other income was Rs 0.05 cr, too small to offset the below-operating charges. The reported tax line was a benefit of Rs 0.38 cr, which narrowed the net loss to Rs 0.09 cr and left EPS at negative Rs 0.02. This makes the reported net result look less weak than the pre-tax performance.
After-close filing leaves the market response pending
The standalone results were filed at 19:07 IST on 20 Aug 2026, after market close. The immediate stock reaction therefore cannot yet be assessed against the company's history after past results.
