Long Term Rating CRISIL BBB/Stable (Reaffirmed)

1 crore = 10 million
Refer to annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BBB/Stable/CRISIL A3+' ratings on bank facilities of Goodluck India Limited (GIL).

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 and intense competition, and the subdued financial risk profile.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans of Rs 30 crore, extended by the promoters as on March 31, 2019, have been treated as neither debt nor equity, as the loans bear a low interest rate and should remain in the business over the medium term.

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has now combined the business and financial risk profiles of GIL and its wholly owned subsidiary Swachh Industries Limited (SIL) collectively referred to as the Goodluck group. The management has decided to amalgamate SIL with GIL. 

Pease refer Annexure - List of Entities Consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Established market position in the steel processing industry: The three-decade-long experience of its promoters, in the steel processing industry, has helped the company expand its capacity and product portfolio.
 
* Diversified product profile: The product profile is vast, ranging from 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 the company against cyclicality and event-based risks.
* Increasing geographic presence: The plant at Gujarat, which started commercial production in July 2018, accounts for 24% of the company's expanded capacity. The new plant will help the company expand its reach to southern and western India, and foray into the international market, which was not feasible earlier, due to the high freight cost.
 
Weaknesses
* Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets stood at 131 days as on March 31, 2019, driven by receivables of 62 days and inventory of 73 days. Large working capital requirement have resulted in high bank limit utilisation.
 
* Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices, amidst intense competition: Key raw material, hot-rolled coils accounts for 70% of total input cost, as the company is unable to pass on any hike in raw material cost to customers with whom it has short-term contacts. Even in case of clients with whom it has long-term contracts, any change in price is reflected only after 1-2 months.
 
* Average financial risk profile: Gearing was moderate at 1.7 times and networth comfortable at Rs 284 crore as on March 31, 2019. Debt protection metrics were subdued, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios of 2.1 times and 0.1 time, respectively, in fiscal 2019, due to the modest operating profitability and large debt raised to fund capacity expansion and working capital requirement.
 
Liquidity: Adequate
Liquidity is adequate, with expected cash accrual of over Rs 60 crore in fiscal 2020, sufficient to cover the yearly debt of Rs 38 crore.  Utilisation of fund-based limit of Rs 329 crore was high, averaging 94% over the 11 months through July 2019. The company has no major capex plans. Cash and cash equivalents were low at less than Rs 1.65 crore as on March 31, 2019.
Outlook: Stable

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

Rating sensitivity factors
Upward factor
* Strengthening of the business risk profile, driven by improvement in operating profitability
* Better working management, with gross current assets reducing by around 20 days leading to an improved liquidity position
 
Downward factor
* Decline in operating profitability
* Stretch in working capital cycle by more than 40 days, constraining liquidity
