How do I interpret the Profit & Loss statement shown in FYERS?
The P&L statement in FYERS (under Fundamentals) shows multi-year, column-wise financials so you can track revenue, costs, and profitability trends over time. It’s a concise view that helps you assess how efficiently a company converts sales into earnings.
Figures are shown in ₹ (Cr) and are based on the company’s reported financials to the exchanges.
What it shows at a glance
- Revenue – income from core operations
- Expenses – major operating costs
- Operating profitability – profit from operations before financing and taxes
- Other income – non-operating gains (e.g., interest, investments)
- Finance & non-cash charges – interest and depreciation/amortisation
- Profit before/after tax – bottom-line performance for the period
- EPS – earnings per share as a quick per-share reference

Quick checks
- Revenue up, profit flat/down → costs may be rising faster than sales (margin pressure).
- Profit driven by other income → core operations might be weak; dig deeper.
- Large one-offs → exceptional items can skew a single year; focus on the underlying trend.
- EPS trend → prefer steady/improving EPS supported by operating profit (not just other income).
What if...
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| Revenue rising but Operating Profit falling | Margins are under pressure as costs outpace sales. Switch View by to % to check margin trend and expand cost rows (where available) to identify drivers. |
| PAT up mainly due to a spike in Other Income | Bottom-line growth is non-operational and may not sustain. Compare Operating Profit vs Other income and read annual report notes for one-off gains. |
| Finance costs jump sharply | Higher borrowing costs are eroding profitability. Track the Operating Profit → PBT bridge across years; review interest coverage ratios (outside FYERS if needed). |
| Depreciation spikes and PAT dips | Capex or revised useful lives increased non-cash charges. Focus on Operating Profit trend; use % view to confirm core margins are intact. |
| Standalone and Consolidated numbers differ materially | Subsidiaries/JVs are affecting group results. Toggle Standalone/Consolidated under Data type and compare multi-year trends to judge subsidiary contribution. |
| Latest year shows “—” or looks incomplete | Exchange data for that period may be pending. Revisit after results are published; meanwhile use earlier years to assess trend. |
| EPS negative despite positive Operating Profit | High interest, depreciation, or exceptional losses are dragging PAT. Review Finance & non-cash charges and check if the impact is one-off. |
| Exceptional/one-off item appears | A non-recurring event is distorting a single year. Look at the multi-year trend and rely on Operating Profit and margins to gauge core performance. |
