Key takeaways
- WIPL reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 0.30 cr in Q1FY27 after expenses of Rs 26.55 cr exceeded revenue of Rs 26.49 cr.
- Operating margin was -0.23% as the company moved from a near break-even operating result to an operating loss of Rs 0.06 cr.
- Other income of Rs 0.52 cr did not offset interest of Rs 0.15 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.51 cr, leaving profit before tax at a loss of Rs 0.20 cr.
Expenses moved above revenue
WIPL's consolidated revenue of Rs 26.49 cr was narrowly below expenses of Rs 26.55 cr, leaving an operating loss of Rs 0.06 cr. The operating margin consequently stood at -0.23%, indicating that the quarter was near break-even at the operating level but did not cover its cost base.
Non-operating income could not prevent a loss
Other income of Rs 0.52 cr was outweighed by interest of Rs 0.15 cr and depreciation of Rs 0.51 cr, resulting in a pre-tax loss of Rs 0.20 cr. The reported tax charge of Rs 0.10 cr further widened the net loss to Rs 0.30 cr; the -50.00% tax rate reflects tax expense against a pre-tax loss rather than a tax benefit.
