2023: 2880.09 lakhs

The company reported a net loss before tax of Rs. 2,391.49 lakhs in 2024, a significant decline from a net profit of Rs. 2,880.09 lakhs in 2023. This indicates a deterioration in profitability in the current year.

Adjustments for Non-Cash Items:

Depreciation and amortisation have been Rs. 2,980.78 lakhs in 2024, slightly lower than Rs. 3,524.01 lakhs in 2023.

Interest expense increased to Rs. 4,485.86 lakhs from Rs. 3,328.83 lakhs, reflecting higher borrowing costs in 2024.

Fair valuation losses on investments in 2024 amounted to Rs. 23.39 lakhs, compared to a small gain of Rs. 1.09 lakhs in 2023, signaling some volatility in investment valuations.

Working Capital Adjustments:

There was a significant decrease in trade receivables in 2024, amounting to Rs. 1,520.19 lakhs, compared to an increase of Rs. 7,890.88 lakhs in 2023. This suggests that the company faced challenges in collecting its receivables in the current year.

Inventories saw an increase of Rs. 3,038.86 lakhs in 2024, compared to a smaller increase of Rs. 2,890.63 lakhs in 2023, implying a higher accumulation of stock.

Trade payables and other liabilities increased by Rs. 4,183.90 lakhs in 2024, compared to a decrease of Rs. 5,468.02 lakhs in 2023. This indicates that the company has been able to delay payments to suppliers and manage its liabilities more effectively in 2024.

Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities:

2024: Rs. 4,600.61 lakhs

2023: Rs. 14,273.48 lakhs

Despite the decline in profitability, the company still generated positive cash flows from operating activities in 2024. However, the cash flow is significantly lower compared to 2023, mainly due to the decline in net profit and changes in working capital.

Investing Activities

Purchase of Fixed Assets:

2024: Rs. 13,500.11 lakhs

2023: Rs. 3,853.39 lakhs

The company made significant investments in fixed assets during 2024, increasing capital expenditures substantially. This suggests a possible expansion or upgrading of infrastructure, equipment, or property.

Investments:

The company made net investments of Rs. 13,286.59 lakhs in 2024, compared to Rs. 3,692.68 lakhs in 2023. This suggests that the company has increased its investment in financial instruments or other assets, possibly to diversify or strengthen its financial position.

Net Cash Flow from Investing Activities:

2024: Rs. 16,738.42 lakhs (cash inflow)

2023: Rs. 8,348.96 lakhs (cash inflow)

The company experienced a higher net cash inflow from investing activities in 2024, largely due to proceeds from the sale of investments. This indicates a favorable outcome from investment activities, despite significant capital spending.

Financing Activities

Borrowings:

The company raised Rs. 6,983.56 lakhs in long-term borrowings in 2024, compared to a net repayment of Rs. 4,938.80 lakhs in 2023. The increase in borrowings could be to support capital expansion or to refinance existing obligations.

Interest Paid:

The company paid Rs. 4,476.01 lakhs in interest in 2024, higher than Rs. 3,286.65 lakhs in 2023, reflecting the increased debt levels.

Net Cash Flow from Financing Activities:

2024: Rs. 8,845.15 lakhs (cash inflow)

2023: Rs. -10,572.56 lakhs (cash outflow)

Financing activities provided a significant cash inflow in 2024, largely due to increased borrowings, reversing the cash outflow from 2023 when the company repaid more than it borrowed.

Quoted	132.94	66.02

Here is a summary of the financial and operational metrics for Garg Acrylics Limited for the year 2024 and 2023:

Current Ratio:

The current ratio has decreased from 1.56 in 2023 to 1.35 in 2024, indicating a slight decline in the company’s ability to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. Although still above 1, which suggests adequate liquidity, the drop could signal a slight deterioration in the company's short-term financial health.

Debt Equity Ratio:

The debt equity ratio has increased significantly from 0.82 in 2023 to 1.16 in 2024. This indicates that the company has taken on more debt relative to its equity base, which could increase financial risk. A higher debt equity ratio suggests that the company is more reliant on borrowed funds to finance its operations, which could be a concern if the company faces difficulties in servicing this debt.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR):

The debt service coverage ratio has decreased from 0.81 in 2023 to 0.58 in 2024, which is a negative sign. A DSCR below 1 indicates that the company may not be generating enough operating income to cover its debt obligations. This suggests potential liquidity stress, as the company might struggle to meet its debt payments from its operational cash flows.

Return on Equity (ROE):

ROE has turned negative in 2024, declining from 0.05 (5%) in 2023 to -0.06 (-6%) in 2024. This suggests that the company is generating a loss relative to its equity capital in 2024, compared to a modest return in 2023. The negative return indicates a decrease in profitability and suggests that the company has not been able to generate sufficient returns on its shareholders' investments.

Net Profit Ratio:

The net profit ratio has worsened dramatically from 1.39% in 2023 to -1.68% in 2024, reflecting a significant decline in the company's profitability. This indicates that the company is now operating at a loss, with costs and expenses outweighing revenues, whereas in the prior year, the company was able to generate a positive net profit margin.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE):

ROCE has decreased sharply from 7.38% in 2023 to 2.35% in 2024. A lower ROCE indicates that the company is less efficient at generating profits from its capital employed. This significant drop could be due to lower profitability or higher capital usage without a proportional increase in earnings.

Inventory Turnover Ratio:

The inventory turnover ratio has remained almost the same between 2023 and 2024, showing a slight decrease from 4.78 to 4.75. This suggests that the company’s efficiency in managing its inventory has remained stable, though a marginal decline could indicate slightly slower inventory turnover or a build-up of unsold stock.

Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio:

The trade receivables turnover ratio has improved from 7.71 to 8.52, indicating that the company is collecting its receivables more quickly in 2024 than in 2023. This is a positive sign, suggesting improved cash flow management and more efficient credit policies.

Trade Payables Turnover Ratio:

The trade payables turnover ratio has decreased from 19.75 in 2023 to 18.39 in 2024. This indicates that the company is taking slightly longer to pay its suppliers, which could be a strategy to optimize cash flow or may reflect slower payment cycles.

Net Capital Turnover Ratio:

The net capital turnover ratio has increased from 7.07 to 9.13, suggesting that the company has become more efficient in utilizing its capital to generate revenue. A higher ratio indicates better use of capital in relation to sales generation.

Return on Investment (Unquoted):

The return on investment for unquoted investments has seen a massive improvement, turning from a negative return in 2023 to a very high positive return in 2024. This could be due to successful investments or capital gains from the unquoted assets.

Return on Investment (Quoted):

The return on quoted investments has doubled from 66.02% in 2023 to 132.94% in 2024, indicating a substantial increase in the profitability of the company's quoted investments. This could suggest successful investment strategies or strong performance in market-listed assets
