Detailed Rationale CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BBB+/Stable/CRISIL A2' ratings on the bank facilities of Kris Flexipacks Pvt Ltd (KFPL).
The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of the promoters in the packaging industry along with an established customer base and a strong financial risk profile of KFPL. These strengths are partially offset by a moderate scale of operations amid intense competitive pressure and large working capital requirement |
Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description Strengths: Extensive industry experience of promoters: The promoters have been in the packaging industry for over three decades. Their strong understanding of market dynamics and healthy relationships with suppliers and customers should continue to support the business. The promoters have also been steadily diversifying the product portfolio. Revenue grew to Rs 340 crore in fiscal 2021 from Rs 300 crore in fiscal 2019.
Established relationship with customers Clientele comprises reputed players such as Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, Pepsico India Holdings, GlaxoSmithKline, Mondelez India Foods, Bisleri International, Jyothy Laboratories, Dabur India, Johnson & Johnson, Mapro Fruit Bar and Heinz India. Also, top 10 clients contributed to just around 50% of the total revenue in fiscal 2021, thereby mitigating risks related to customer concentration in the revenue profile.
Strong financial risk profile: As on March 31, 2021, the networth is strong at Rs.118 crore. Strong networth had helped the company to keep its gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio below 1 time as on March 31, 2021. Capital structure is expected to remain comfortable over medium term in absence of major debt funded capital expenditure (capex). Debt protection metrics remained comfortable, with an interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios at around 13.39 times and 0.66 time, respectively, in fiscal 2021.
Weaknesses: Moderate scale of operations: Despite steady growth, KFPL's scale of operations is moderate as at Rs.340 crore in fiscal 2021. This restricts the bargaining power with customers and suppliers. Moreover, the plastic packaging industry in India is marked by intense competition and is highly fragmented, which leads to stiff pricing competition and acts as a cap on operating margins of players in the industry
Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets were sizeable at 160 days as on March 31, 2021, driven by debtors of 107 days and moderate inventory of 43 days. Debtors are high due to substantial credit period (90-120 days) given to customers. However, the working capital is partially supported by healthy cash accrual and comfortable credit of 60-90 days extended by the suppliers. Going forward, working capital cycle will continue to remain large over medium term |
Liquidity: AdequateCash accrual is expected at Rs.18-19 crore per fiscal for fiscals 2022 and 2023, against no repayment obligation. The fund-based limit of Rs.70 crore has been utilised, at an average of around 29% during the 12 months through March 2021. The unencumbered cash and bank balance was at Rs.6.63 crore as on March 31, 2021. Adequate cash accrual, unutilised bank lines, unsecured loans, and the cash and bank balance should be adequate to support working capital requirement over the medium term |
Outlook Stable KFPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of the promoters and its healthy financial risk profile |
