Key takeaways
- Standalone Q1FY27 remained loss-making, with expenses of Rs 14.83 cr exceeding revenue of Rs 13.49 cr and producing an operating loss of Rs 1.34 cr.
- Other income of Rs 0.8 cr only partly offset the operating loss, leaving a pre-tax loss of Rs 0.79 cr.
- A tax credit of Rs 0.19 cr reduced the standalone net loss to Rs 0.6 cr, while EPS was negative at Rs 1.11.
Operating deficit reflects a cost-revenue gap
Zenith Expo reported a standalone operating loss of Rs 1.34 cr in Q1FY27 because expenses of Rs 14.83 cr were higher than revenue of Rs 13.49 cr. The resulting operating margin was -9.93%, indicating that operations did not cover the quarter's cost base.
Other income and tax credit softened the reported loss
Other income of Rs 0.8 cr reduced the loss before tax from the operating deficit to Rs 0.79 cr, but did not eliminate it. A tax credit of Rs 0.19 cr further reduced the net loss to Rs 0.6 cr, so reported profit benefited from below-operating-line items despite the operating loss.
