Here is a summary of the Cash Flow Statement for the years 2024 and 2023:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Net Profit Before Tax for the year ending March 31, 2024 was Rs 52,952.52, a significant increase compared to Rs 2,713.66 in 2023. This substantial rise in profits is the primary driver of improved cash flow from operations.

After adjusting for non-cash and non-operational items such as depreciation (Rs 4,977.53), profit and loss on the sale of assets, and interest payments (Rs 4,768.68), the operating profit before working capital adjustments increased to Rs 62,867.57 from Rs 12,403.35 in 2023.

Working capital adjustments contributed mixed effects:

Trade & other receivables increased by Rs 4,815.17, which reduced the cash flow.

Inventories saw a small decrease of Rs 572.00, improving cash flow.

Trade payables and current liabilities provided a net increase of Rs 2,182.61, improving liquidity.

After adjusting for taxes and exceptions, net cash from operating activities surged to Rs 59,271.26 in 2024, compared to Rs 7,886.40 in 2023. This dramatic improvement indicates strong operational performance and cash generation during the year.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Purchase of property, plant, and equipment amounted to Rs 12,052.26, a significant increase from Rs 2,436.99 in 2023. This reflects higher capital expenditures, possibly for business expansion or modernization.

Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment contributed Rs 718.56, compared to Rs 60.00 in 2023, providing some relief to the outflows.

Overall, net cash from investing activities was Rs -11,319.24 in 2024, reflecting a significant increase in outflows compared to Rs -2,357.79 in 2023. This indicates higher investment activity, although it is funded primarily through operating cash flows.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Repayments of long-term borrowings and other borrowings together amounted to Rs -28,188.54, reflecting significant debt repayments in 2024. The repayments were higher than in 2023 when long-term borrowings stood at Rs -213.27 and other borrowings at Rs -61.28.

Interest paid decreased slightly to Rs 4,768.68, down from Rs 5,318.66 in the previous year.

The overall net cash outflow from financing activities was Rs -32,957.22 in 2024, compared to Rs -5,593.21 in 2023. The large outflow suggests that the company is focusing on reducing its debt levels.

Net Increase in Cash & Cash Equivalents

Despite increased investment and debt repayments, the company ended the year with a net increase in cash of Rs 14,994.80, compared to a decrease of Rs -64.59 in 2023. This positive movement in cash is driven by strong operating performance.

Here is a summary of the financial and operational metrics for The Bhavani Tea And Produce Co Ltd for the year 2024 & 2023:

Current Ratio

The current ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its short-term assets. A significant improvement from 0.26 in 2023 to 0.89 in 2024 suggests the company’s liquidity position has improved considerably. Although still below the ideal ratio of 1, the increase indicates that the company is now better equipped to cover its short-term liabilities with available assets.

Debt-Equity Ratio

The debt-equity ratio indicates the proportion of debt used to finance the company compared to shareholders' equity. A dramatic reduction from 10.47 in 2023 to 0.97 in 2024 reflects a substantial decrease in the company's reliance on debt. This significant improvement lowers financial risk and indicates a more balanced capital structure, signaling better financial health and reduced leverage.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)

The DSCR measures the company's ability to cover its debt payments with operating income. The significant increase from 1.34 in 2023 to 7.62 in 2024 indicates a much stronger ability to service debt. This suggests that the company is generating sufficient cash flow to comfortably meet its debt obligations, greatly reducing the risk of default.

Return on Equity (ROE)

The ROE measures the profitability generated from shareholders' equity. The increase from 0.27% in 2023 to 1.52% in 2024 indicates that the company has improved its efficiency in using shareholders' equity to generate profit. Although the percentage is still relatively low, it reflects a positive trend in profitability and value creation for shareholders.

Inventory Turnover Ratio

The inventory turnover ratio indicates how efficiently the company is managing and selling its inventory. The increase from 28.12 to 43.07 shows that the company is moving its inventory more quickly in 2024, reflecting stronger demand or better inventory management. Higher inventory turnover is a positive indicator of operational efficiency and sales performance.

Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio

The trade receivables turnover ratio measures how efficiently the company collects receivables. The improvement from 113.26 in 2023 to 118.6 in 2024 indicates that the company is collecting payments from customers slightly faster, improving its cash flow and reducing the risk of bad debts.

Trade Payables Turnover Ratio

The trade payables turnover ratio reflects how quickly the company is paying its suppliers. The significant increase from 15 to 60.11 indicates that the company is paying its suppliers much faster in 2024. While this shows the company’s improved liquidity, it may also suggest stricter credit terms from suppliers or better financial management.

Net Capital Turnover Ratio

The net capital turnover ratio measures how effectively a company is using its working capital to generate sales. The negative ratio in both years indicates inefficiencies in capital management. However, the decline from -1.94 to -7.15 in 2024 suggests that the company's performance in using its capital has worsened, highlighting operational challenges.

Net Profit Ratio

The net profit ratio shows how much of each rupee of revenue is converted into profit. The improvement from 0.02% in 2023 to 0.33% in 2024 indicates that the company has become more profitable, though the margin remains slim. This suggests better cost control or higher revenue generation, contributing to improved profitability.

Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)

The ROCE measures how efficiently the company uses its capital (both equity and debt) to generate profits. The improvement from 0.19% to 0.68% reflects better overall efficiency and utilization of resources to generate returns. While still low, this upward trend suggests positive progress in capital management and profitability.
