Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BBB/Negative/CRISIL A3+' ratings on the bank facilities of Ginni International Limited (GIL).
 
The rating action reflects the stressed business risk profile marked by stagnant revenue, lower operating profitability (8.4% in fiscal 2019), stretched working capital cycle and tightly marked net cash accruals with repayment obligations. While in first half of fiscal 2020, GIL has witnessed more than 9% growth in operating income and slight improvement in operating profitability compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal led by softening raw material prices and cost cutting measures adopted my management, sustenance of the same for the full fiscal will be a key rating sensitive factor and will be closely monitored. Further, recent enhancement in working capital facility and need based funding support from the promoters should support the liquidity in the medium term.
 
The ratings continue to reflect an established market position, supported by the extensive experience of its promoters, in the denim fabric industry, a healthy networth, and an established and diversified domestic distribution network. These strengths are partially offset by working capital-intensive operations and susceptibility of the operating margin to volatility in raw material prices.

Analytical Approach

Out of Rs 9.78 crore of unsecured loans as on March 31, 2019, from the directors, CRISIL has treated Rs 5 crore as 75% equity and 25% debt, as these funds are subordinated to bank debt and are expected to remain in the business over the medium term; the remaining is treated as debt.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Established market position supported by extensive experience of the promoters:
The promoters' experience of over three decades and their demonstrated industry knowledge have helped in establishing a strong market position in the cotton yarn, grey fabric, and denim fabric industry, making the company one of the prominent players in denim manufacturing, which contributes more than 60% of turnover. A strong track record and established relationships with customers and suppliers across India have led to repeat orders and regular supply of raw material. Benefits from the promoters' experience should continue.
 
* Established and diversified domestic distribution network
GIL has an established distribution network spread across India and other countries. Close to 90% of sales are booked in the domestic market. A network of wholesalers work as distributors across India for the denim as well as the yarn segments.
 
* Healthy networth:
The networth increased to Rs 168.4 crore as on March 31, 2019, from Rs 159.1 crore a year earlier driven by continuous accretion to reserves, and is expected to remain healthy over the medium term.

Weaknesses:
* Working capital-intensive operations:

Operations are likely to remain moderately working capital intensive over the medium term. Gross current assets were 197 days as on March 31, 2019 (183 days as on March 31, 2018), driven by debtors of 107 days and inventory of 93 days. Inventory is usually in the form of work-in-progress due to the long gestation period given the integrated nature of operations. Debtors have increased from 76 days as on March 31, 2016, due to slower realisation, and are expected to be at a similar level in the medium term.
 
* Susceptibility of the operating margin to volatility in raw material prices:
Cotton is the key raw material used for manufacturing denim fabric. Raw material cost typically accounts for 60-70% of net sales. Hence, cotton/cotton yarn prices influence the operating margin of fabric producers. As cotton is a seasonal commodity and is dependent on the vagaries of the monsoon, timing the procurement is critical for industry players. Thus, the margin is expected to remain susceptible to cotton prices over the medium term.
Liquidity Adequate

Average bank limit utilisation was high at 81.1% in the 12 months through August 2019. The ratio of net cash accrual to repayment obligation was 1.01 times in fiscal 2019 on account of lower profitability and high maturing debt. However, the promoters have strong financial flexibility and have brought in an additional Rs 6.03 crore in fiscal 2019, and a total of Rs 17.08 as on September 30, 2020. Further, the company has received enhancement and consequent disbursement of Rs 15 crore in working capital facilities, thus supporting liquidity.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes the business risk profile will remain under pressure over the medium term as a lower operating margin will impact cash accrual, though the recent reduction in raw material prices and cost cutting measures adopted by the management should support the business partially.
 
Rating sensitivity factors
Upward factors
* Strengthening of the market position with sustained revenue growth along with improvement in the operating margin to 9.1% or above
* Lower reliance on external debt for funding working capital by efficient working capital management, driven by improved realisations from debtors and quick churning of inventory
 
Downward factors
* Further decline in the operating margin to 8% or below, putting pressure on net cash accrual
* Further stretch in the working capital cycle, leading to higher bank limit utilisation
* Significant debt-funded capital expenditure, weakening the financial risk profile
