Deep Industries Q1FY27: consolidated PAT +44.5% YoY to ₹89 Cr, margin trails FY27 guidance

Deep Industries reported consolidated PAT of ₹89.14 Cr for Q1 FY27, up 44.5% YoY from ₹61.70 Cr, on revenue of ₹278.92 Cr, up 39.8% YoY from ₹199.50 Cr. Both readings run ahead of management's FY27 guidance of 25-30% revenue growth given on the Q4 FY26 concall. Sequentially the print reverses Q4 FY26's headline net loss of ₹7.22 Cr, but that loss was entirely the product of a one-off ₹208.28 Cr exceptional item (unrelated to this quarter's operations); excluding it, Q4's core pre-exceptional profit was ₹88.53 Cr, so the real quarter-on-quarter change is modest and the swing back to profit is a base-effect artifact rather than a genuine turnaround.

Core operating margin (OPM) came in at 38.77%, down from 40.90% a year ago and roughly 6 percentage points short of the 44-45% EBITDA margin band management guided for FY27 — the quarter's clearest miss against its own targets. Net profit margin nonetheless improved to 29.46% from 28.98% YoY: the gap is bridged by a larger share of other income (₹23.68 Cr, 8.5% of revenue, vs ₹13.43 Cr, 6.7% of revenue a year ago) and marginally lower finance costs (1.5% of revenue vs 2.1%). Standalone PAT of ₹55.18 Cr on standalone revenue of ₹171.78 Cr confirms consolidated subsidiaries and the offshore support business now contribute the larger share of group profit.

The stock went into the print at ₹511.4, up 10.7% over the past month of trading.

For context: this is the highest quarterly PAT in the last 6 quarters on our records; revenue is at a 6-quarter high.

EPS (basic) ₹13.34 vs ₹9.19 a year ago, +45.2%

Order intake during the quarter included a ₹49.1 Cr ONGC charter-hire contract (Jul 7) and an ₹83.81 Cr ONGC gas-compression contract (Jun 20) — incremental adds against the over ₹3,000 Cr order book management flagged exiting FY26, though the filing discloses no updated total order-book figure. No standalone management commentary or press release accompanied this result beyond the board-outcome letter, which otherwise covered a 15-lakh-option ESOP approval, COO Rajeev Kumar Sinha's elevation to Senior Management Personnel, and confirmation of August 21, 2026 as the record date for the ₹2.50/share FY26 final dividend — none of which affect this quarter's P&L. No analyst consensus estimates specific to this quarter could be located, so the print cannot be benchmarked against Street numbers this time.
