Key takeaways
- UMAEXPORTS reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 0.32 cr in Q1FY27 despite Rs 2.02 cr of operating profit.
- Interest expense of Rs 3.48 cr exceeded operating profit, while Rs 1.90 cr of other income did not prevent a pre-tax loss of Rs 0.11 cr.
- Operating margin was only 0.97%, and the company reported a Rs 0.21 cr tax charge despite the pre-tax loss.
Interest burden erased the operating profit
Consolidated revenue of Rs 208.41 cr left Rs 2.02 cr of operating profit after Rs 206.39 cr of expenses. Interest expense of Rs 3.48 cr was higher than operating profit, and depreciation added a further Rs 0.55 cr charge.
Other income could not restore profitability
Other income of Rs 1.90 cr partly offset the interest and depreciation charges, but the company still reported a pre-tax loss of Rs 0.11 cr. The Rs 0.21 cr tax charge pushed net profit to a loss of Rs 0.32 cr, making the reported tax rate -190.62%.
