Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd – Q1 FY25 Financial Result

Commenting on the performance for Q1 FY25, Mr. Atul Bohra, Group CEO, Kolte-Patil Developers Limited said,

“In a rapidly evolving real estate industry, we have been persistent in delighting customers with product offerings that enrich their lifestyle resulting in pre-sales of Rs. 711 crore and volumes of 0.96 million square feet for the quarter. Strong execution and timely deliveries resulted in our highest-ever quarterly collections of Rs. 612 crore, marking a 19% year-on-year growth. Sustaining the sales momentum, our flagship Life Republic project in Pune recorded sales volumes of 0.46 million square feet in Q1 FY25.

For the year till date we have launched projects with saleable area of close to 2 million square feet translating into top-line potential of about Rs. 1,500 crore across customer segments. I am glad to share that all the projects are receiving encouraging response from the market. The launches schedule is largely on track and we hope to be able to launch projects with top-line potential of Rs. 8,000 crore during the current financial year.

The underlying structural demand drivers remain strong, as customers continue to favour developers and projects that offer reliability, credibility, and a proven track record. The focus on housing, infrastructure development, and

urban planning is expected to provide sustained support to the housing sector. With a growing project development pipeline, under-borrowed Balance Sheet, a validated governance structure, and a strong brand connect associated with trust, we believe that Kolte-Patil is attractively placed to deliver sustainable growth across the coming years.”

Parameters 1QFY25 4QFY24 1QFY24 YoY QoQ
Total Income 939.7 818.0 522.2 79.9% 14.9%

PBT 36.1 42.9 43.2 -16.4% -15.9%
PAT 27.2 44.3 32.6 -16.5% -38.6%

Commenting on the company’s first quarter, Mr. Sivaramakrishnan Ganapathi, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Gokaldas Exports said, “We were able to sustain the revenue growth momentum during the quarter but missed on profitability front. The company witnessed several headwinds starting from a disruption of our production in a majority of our factories in April and May leading to delays in shipment incurring extra costs in overtime and airfreight, huge ramp up of employees in anticipation of volume growth in the second half of the year, slower ramp up of our new units, and continuing airfreight costs at Atraco. Some of these impacts will be offset in the quarters ahead.

We are making good progress towards integrating the operations of our newly acquired entities to secure better operating leverage. Our strategic investment in BTPL, a fabrics processing unit, allows us to derive utmost benefit through vertical integration into critical raw materials, adding an edge in terms of speed, quality, and cost”.

The Company raised equity capital of ₹ 600 Crore through Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) in April 2024. After the acquisition of two companies through a combination of debt and equity, along with the fund raise, the Company has a net cash of ₹ 58 Crore as of June 30, 2024. The Company has robust operations spanning multiple geographies leveraging trained people, a diversified and strong customer base supporting growth opportunities and preferential access to raw materials through investments in the vertical value chain. This will support the Company to target significant growth in the future.
