Tasty Bite Eatables reported a net profit of ₹88.39 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), reflecting a 24% increase compared to ₹81.89 million in the same period of FY26. Revenue from operations grew by 28% year-on-year to ₹1,555.33 million, driven primarily by an increase in revenue from customers to ₹1,555.33 million from ₹1,209.23 million in Q1FY26.

The company’s total income for the quarter stood at ₹1,616.40 million, up from ₹1,252.24 million in the prior year period. This growth was underpinned by a significant rise in other income, which increased to ₹58.85 million from ₹41.12 million in Q1FY26. Despite the revenue surge, total expenses rose to ₹1,497.25 million from ₹1,141.75 million, with cost of materials consumed increasing to ₹1,006.25 million.

Financial Performance Highlights

Earnings per share (basic and diluted) rose to ₹34.45 per equity share of face value ₹10 each, compared to ₹31.91 in the previous year’s corresponding quarter. The profit before tax and exceptional items was recorded at ₹119.15 million, up from ₹110.49 million in Q1FY26.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists between the growth in operating profit and the final net profit figure. While profit before tax grew by only 7.8% (from ₹110.49 million to ₹119.15 million), net profit after tax expanded by 24.2%. This discrepancy is largely attributable to the tax expense structure; total tax expense for Q1FY27 was ₹30.76 million, which includes a deferred tax charge of ₹12.84 million, whereas the prior year saw a lower effective tax impact relative to pre-tax profits. Additionally, other income constituted approximately 3.6% of total income in Q1FY27, up from 3.3% in Q1FY26, indicating a slight increase in non-operating contributions to the top line.

Crucially, the company’s EBITDA margin contracted sharply from 13.07% in Q1FY26 to 9.5% in Q1FY27. While absolute EBITDA remained relatively stable at ₹148 million versus ₹158 million in the prior year, the significant drop in margin despite a 28% revenue increase suggests that cost of materials or other operating expenses grew disproportionately to sales volume. This indicates a compression in operational efficiency during the quarter.

What the Numbers Show
