Q1FY27 profit bridge
VITAL generated Rs 6.09 cr of operating profit from Rs 51.19 cr of revenue, but interest and depreciation absorbed a substantial part of that operating result before tax. Other income was Rs 0.13 cr, so the pre-tax result of Rs 3.43 cr was driven primarily by operations rather than non-operating income. Tax of Rs 0.84 cr left consolidated net profit at Rs 2.59 cr.
Operating margin and cost structure
The 11.90% operating margin reflects Rs 45.10 cr of expenses against revenue of Rs 51.19 cr. The tax rate was 24.59%, while interest of Rs 1.00 cr and depreciation of Rs 1.79 cr were the key deductions between operating profit and profit before tax. There is no quarter-on-quarter or year-on-year comparison in this results release to establish a margin direction.
