Key takeaways
- Interest of Rs 12.00 cr and depreciation of Rs 10.10 cr reduced Rs 34.33 cr operating profit to Rs 13.01 cr pre-tax profit.
- The consolidated quarter ended with Rs 9.05 cr net profit and EPS of Rs 2.84 after a 30.44% tax rate.
- Other income was Rs 0.78 cr against Rs 13.01 cr pre-tax profit, making it a limited contributor to reported profit.
Operating profit did not carry through to net profit
VOEPL generated Rs 34.33 cr of operating profit on consolidated revenue of Rs 375.88 cr, but financing and asset charges absorbed much of that operating surplus. Interest of Rs 12.00 cr and depreciation of Rs 10.10 cr brought pre-tax profit down to Rs 13.01 cr. The result was Rs 9.05 cr of net profit.
Other income was not a material profit support
Other income contributed Rs 0.78 cr against pre-tax profit of Rs 13.01 cr, so it did not materially alter the quarter's earnings profile. Tax of Rs 3.96 cr, equivalent to a 30.44% tax rate, further reduced pre-tax profit before the company reported EPS of Rs 2.84.
