Kolte Patil Developers, a smallcap company in the construction and real estate industry, recently announced its financial results for the quarter ending September 2024. The company's stock has been given a 'Strong Sell' call by MarketsMOJO.

The financial performance for the quarter was flat, with a score of -2, which has improved from -14 in the last 3 months. However, there are some positive aspects to the company's financials. The Profit Before Tax (PBT) has grown by 113.3% to Rs 4.56 crore, compared to the average PBT of the previous four quarters which was at Rs -34.38 crore. The Profit After Tax (PAT) has also shown a growth of 135.7% to Rs 9.74 crore, compared to the average PAT of the previous four quarters which was at Rs -27.27 crore. The company's ability to manage interest payments has also improved, with the Operating Profit to Interest ratio being the highest in the last five quarters. The company's cash and cash equivalents have also increased to Rs 527.48 crore, indicating an improvement in short term liquidity.

However, there are some areas of concern for Kolte Patil Developers. The Operating Cash Flow has been consistently falling in the last three years, with the latest figure being at Rs -111.01 crore. The Debt-Equity Ratio has also been increasing in the last five half yearly periods, indicating that the company is borrowing more to fund its operations. The Net Sales for the nine month period have also shown a negative growth of -24.95% year on year. The company's income from non-business activities is high, which may not be a sustainable business model. The pace of settling its debtors has also slowed down, with the Debtors Turnover Ratio being the lowest in the last five half yearly periods.

Overall, Kolte Patil Developers has shown some positive improvements in its financials, but there are also some areas of concern that investors should keep in mind. The company's stock has been given a 'Strong Sell' call by MarketsMOJO, and it will be interesting to see how the company performs in the coming quarters.
