Detailed Rationale

Crisil Ratings has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank loan facilities of Jaipan Industries Ltd (JIL) at ‘Crisil B/Stable/Crisil A4. 

 

The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of the promoters in the home appliances industry and established relationships with customers. These strengths are partially offset by modest scale of operations amid intense competition, working capital-intensive operations and below-average financial risk profile.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans of Rs 1.83 crore as on March 31, 2024, have been treated as debt.

 

Crisil Ratings has evaluated the standalone business and financial risk profiles of JIL.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Weaknesses:

  • Modest scale of operations amid intense competition: Revenue moderated in fiscal 2024 to Rs 23 crore from Rs 39.2 crore previous fiscal due to muted demand from the export markets. It is expected to remain range-bound at Rs 25-30 crore in fiscal 2025. Furthermore, operating margin has remained modest at 2.4-2.7% over the fiscals, except in fiscal 2024 when the margin was impacted by a fire accident at the company’s manufacturing unit. However, operations should bounce back to previous levels in fiscal 2025.

 

Though JIL has introduced the TV segment in fiscal 2025, it is yet to establish presence in other product segments, besides mixer grinder, resulting in small scale of operations. Intense competition in the home appliances segment, which is dominated by large and branded players, will constrain scalability. Improvement in revenue and operating margin would be monitorable over the medium term.

 

  • Working capital-intensive operations: Gross current assets were 210-215 days as on March 31, 2025, due to receivables and inventory of 145-150 days and 45-50 days, respectively. This is because the company offers high credit to customers. JIL also maintains average inventory of 60-90 days due to business requirements. The overall working capital cycle is expected to remain large over the medium term.

 

  • Modest financial risk profile: Networth moderated to Rs 4.2 crore as on March 31, 2024, due to operating losses incurred in fiscal 2024; and is expected to remain modest at Rs 4.3-4.4 crore as on March 31, 2025. This, coupled with moderate reliance on external debt, should result in leveraged capital structure, with estimated total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio and gearing of 3.15-3.20 times and 1.45-1.50 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2025 (3.43 times and 1.34 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2024). The debt protection metrics are expected to improve in fiscal 2025, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios of 1.80-1.85 times and 0.05-0.10 time, respectively, for fiscal 2025 (after remaining negative in fiscal 2024 due to operating losses). Improvement in the financial risk profile with ramp up in operations and operating margin would be monitorable over the medium term.

 

Strength:

  • Extensive experience of promoters and established relationships with customers: The promoters have  experience of over two decades in the home appliances segment, which has enabled them to understand the business and industry dynamics and helped to establish strong relationships with customers and suppliers. The company has a wide range of product portfolio, which includes mixers and grinders, air fryers, pressure cookers, toasters, irons, lunch boxes, and dinnerware. This would help sustain the revenue growth over the medium term.

Liquidity: Poor

Cash accrual is expected to remain modest at Rs 0.35-0.40 crore per annum over the medium term against no term debt obligation as the company has repaid all term loan. Bank limit was utilised at an average of 75% over the 12 months through February 2025. Cash and bank balance stood at Rs 1-1.5 crore as on date. Liquidity is supported by unsecured loans from the promoters, which is expected to continue.

Outlook: Stable

Crisil Ratings believes JIL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters.

Rating sensitivity factors

Upward factors:

  • Improvement in revenue and sustenance of operating profitability leading to higher cash accrual
  • Improvement in debt protection metrics with interest coverage ratio above 1.5 times on a sustained basis

 

Downward factors:

  • Continued decline in revenue or profitability impacting debt-servicing ability
  • Stretched working capital cycle with gross current assets above 300 days impacting the liquidity
