Key highlights from ISF's financials include an operating profit before depreciation, interest, and taxes (PBDIT) of Rs 0.33 crore, which is the highest figure recorded in the last five quarters. The profit before tax (PBT) also reached a peak of Rs 0.26 crore, indicating a positive trend in operational performance. Additionally, the profit after tax (PAT) stood at Rs 0.19 crore, the highest in the same timeframe, while the earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was Rs 0.02, reflecting enhanced earnings for shareholders.
