Key takeaways
- TICL reported consolidated net profit of Rs 0.51 cr in Q1FY27, with a 7.52% operating margin.
- Zero tax meant profit before tax of Rs 0.51 cr flowed through unchanged to net profit.
- Interest of Rs 0.23 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.32 cr absorbed part of the Rs 0.83 cr operating profit.
Positive operating profit, but a narrow cushion
TICL's consolidated Q1FY27 revenue was Rs 11.04 cr and operating profit was Rs 0.83 cr, giving a 7.52% operating margin. The operating profit left limited room for financing costs and depreciation before reaching profit before tax.
Other income and zero tax lifted reported profit
Interest of Rs 0.23 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.32 cr reduced operating profit to profit before tax of Rs 0.51 cr. Other income of Rs 0.23 cr also supported pre-tax profit, so the result was not generated solely by operations. With tax at Rs 0.00 cr, profit before tax flowed through unchanged to net profit.
