Refer to annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its rating on the long-term bank facilities of Goldy Precision Stampings Pvt Ltd (GPSPL) at 'CRISIL BBB/Negative'.
 
GPSPL's operating performance remained subdued in fiscal 2020 and the first half of fiscal 2021 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The stretch in the working capital cycle, driven by higher inventory/stocks, had corrected to a limited extent in fiscal 2020 and is expected to correct further in fiscal 2021. Although debt remained moderate to support higher working capital requirement, the overall financial risk profile, particularly liquidity, remains adequate. Nonetheless, the operating performance may remain subdued overall in fiscal 2021 and hence will remain key monitorable over the medium term.
 
The rating continues to reflect an established position in the precision machined components industry, a healthy relationship with customers, and a comfortable financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by an average scale of operations in an intensely competitive industry, susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices and foreign exchange (forex) rates, customer concentration in revenue, and large working capital requirement.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans of Rs 3.95 crore (as on March 31, 2020) from the promoters have been treated as neither debt not equity as these loans are to remain in the business over medium term.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths: 
* Established market position: The promoters' experience of more than 45 years in automotive (auto) component manufacturing and a healthy relationship with customers, such as Endurance Technologies Pvt Ltd, Gabriel India Ltd and Tenneco Automotive, should continue to support the business. Revenue has remained over Rs 54 crore per fiscal over the three fiscals through 2020, along with a healthy operating profitability margin of 21-24%.
 
* Comfortable financial risk profile: As on March 31, 2020, the networth was strong at Rs 29.01 crore and capital structure remained comfortable as indicated by a low gearing at 0.42 time and total outside liabilities to tangible networth ratio of 0.58 time. Healthy profitability and cash accrual have resulted in robust debt protection metrics; interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios were at 5.7 times and 0.51 time, respectively, for fiscal 2020.
 
Weaknesses:
* Average scale of operations: Operating income was modest at Rs 56.95 crore in fiscal 2020. Most of the revenue is from the auto component industry, which is highly fragmented and price competitive. Moreover, the performance of the industry is linked with that of the economy, and is impacted by cyclicality in demand. The current slowdown in demand for automobiles is likely to keep revenue growth muted in the near term.
 
The top three clients accounted for 65% of sales in fiscal 2020. The high customer concentration makes revenue growth and profitability dependent on the growth plans of key customers.
 
* Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices and forex rates: Key raw materials include steel and its alloys, the prices of which have been historically volatile. The risk is partially offset by the ability to pass on any significant increase in raw material prices due to forex rate volatility.
 
* Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets (GCAs) were large at 152 days as on March 31, 2020, driven by high inventory of 111 days. Debtors and creditors remain moderate at 54 and 61 days, respectively. Correction in inventory over the medium term will remain a key monitorable.
Liquidity Adequate

Cash accrual, expected at Rs 6-7 crore per fiscal over the medium term, should comfortably cover minimal debt obligation and support liquidity. Bank lines were utilised at an average of 59% in the 12 months through September 2020. Further, need-based unsecured loans from the promoters is expected to continue.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes that the business risk profile of the company will remain under pressure because of slowdown in operations due to impact of COVID-19.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factors
* Sustained increase in revenue with a stable operating margin, leading to cash accruals in excess of Rs 7-8 crores.
* Improvement in the working capital cycle, particularly inventory.
 
Downward factors
* A decline in profitability or revenue, resulting in lower-than-expected cash accrual of Rs 5 crore per fiscal.
* A stretch in the working capital cycle with higher-than-expected GCAs
