Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed the ratings of Goodluck India Limited (GIL) at 'CRISIL BBB/Stable/ CRISIL A3+'.

 

The ratings continue to reflect GIL's established presence in the steel processing industry, its diversified product profile, and increasing geographic presence. These strengths are partially offset by large working capital requirement, susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices due to intense competition in the fragmented industry, and subdued financial risk profile.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings had earlier combined the business and financial risk profiles of GIL and its wholly owned subsidiary Swachh Industries Limited (SIL). However, SIL was amalgamated into GIL via an NCLT order effective March 11, 2020. Accordingly, CRISIL Ratings is arriving at the ratings of GIL on a standalone basis, post amalgamation of SIL into GIL.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

* Established presence in the steel processing industry: GIL has leveraged its promoters' experience of more than three decades in the steel processing industry for expanding its capacity and product portfolio.

 

* Diversified product profile: GIL has a diversified product profile. It engineers basic steel to black and galvanized pipes and tubes, cold rolled coils, strips, and galvanised sheet/roofing sheets, transmission towers, bright bars, industrial/automotive forgings and flanges, and automotive tubes. A wide product mix safeguards against cyclicality and event-based risks.

 

* Healthy scale of operations: GIL’s operating income at Rs 1629.6 crore for fiscal 2020 is healthy. Operating income witnessed a CAGR growth of 14% for last 3 periods ending fiscal 2020. Despite significant impact of Covid-19 on business performance for first half of fiscal 2021, GIL is expected to report only a 5-10% drop in operating income for entire twelve months of fiscal 2021 due to ramp up in capacity utilization esp. forging and increase in realizations owing to increase in steel prices.

 

Weaknesses

* Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets were at 143 days as on March 31, 2020, driven by receivables of 55 days and inventory of 77 days. Large working capital requirements have resulted in high bank limit utilisation.

 

* Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices due to intense competition in the fragmented industry: GIL is susceptible to volatility in the price of key raw material, hot-rolled coils, which accounts for 70% of the total raw material cost, as the company is unable to pass on the impact of increase in raw material prices to customers in short-term contacts. In the long-term contracts, change in price is passed on only after 1-2 months.

 

* Average financial risk profile: Gearing is expected to remain moderate at 1.16 times as on March 31, 2021. Interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt are also estimated at 2.1 times and 0.1 time for fiscal 2021 on account of modest operating profitability and high dependence on debt to fund working capital requirement.

Liquidity: Adequate

Liquidity is adequate: cash accrual, expected at over Rs 55 crore in fiscal 2021, should sufficiently cover yearly maturing debt of Rs 38 crore.  Utilisation of fund-based limit of Rs 355 crore was high, averaging 96% over the last 21 months through January 2021. The company has no major capex plans. Current ratio was moderate at 1.19 times as on March 31, 2020 and is expected to remain moderate going ahead as well.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes GIL will continue to benefit from its established market position.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

  • Strengthening of the business risk profile, driven by improvement in operating profitability of the company
  • Average bank limit utilization of less than 90% being maintained on a sustainable basis
  • Improvement in working capital cycle

 

Downward factors

  • Decline in operating profitability
  • Stretch in working capital cycle by more than 40 days leading to stretched liquidity
