Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL BBB/Stable' rating to the bank facilities of Kumaragiri Spinnerss Private Limited (KSPL).
 
The rating reflects established market position and promoter's extensive experience in cotton yarn industry and moderate financial risk profile. The strengths are partially offset by susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices and working capital intensive nature of operations.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Established market position and promoter's extensive experience in cotton yarn industry: KSPL has established itself as a prominent player in the yarn business for more than a decade. The company's promoter has extensive experience in the business and the company. KSPL has strong relationships with its customers, resulting in repeat orders to its customers. CRISIL believes that KSPL's established market position and experienced management will drive its business growth over the medium term
 
* Moderate financial risk profile: KSPL has a moderate financial risk profile, marked by moderate capital structure and debt protection metrics. The company's net worth was at Rs.47.45 crore and total outside liability to tangible networth (TOLTNW) at 1.67 times as on March 31, 2020. The company has incurred a large capital expenditure in the current fiscal, funded by bank debt to the extent of Rs 38.50 crore. As a result, the capital structure is likely to marginally deteriorate to about 2.29 times by end of current fiscal. Nevertheless, with gradual ramp up in new facilities leading to steady accretions to reserves, the overall capital structure will improve in the medium term. KSPL's interest coverage and net cash accruals to total debt ratios are at 3.03 times and 23 per cent, respectively, in fiscal 2020. Gradual improvement in margins should result in improved debt protection metrics and will remain a key sensitivity factor.
 
Weaknesses:
* Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices: The company remains susceptible to volatility in raw material (cotton and polyester staple fibre) prices. Cotton prices have remained high during the current fiscal, but yarn prices have remained subdued, impacting the cotton ' yarn spreads. High input costs have already impacted the company's profitability in fiscal 2020, and improvement in margins for full fiscal 2021, needs to be monitored. The company's ability to pass on the increase in input prices remains limited on account of commodity nature of its products.
 
* Working capital intensive nature of operations: The company has high working capital requirements, largely on account of high gross current asset (GCA) days of 145 as on 31 March, 2020. High GCA is mainly due to long collection cycle with its customers. This has been resulting in high bank limit utilizations at times for the company. With scaling up of operations, the ability to maintain its collection cycle will remain a sensitivity factor.
Liquidity Adequate

Cash accruals are expected to be over Rs 20 crores which are sufficient against term debt obligation of Rs 15 crores over the medium term. Additionally, the promoters have the financial flexibility to bring in need based funds to support working capital requirements. Unsecured loans stood at Rs.4.58 crores as on March 31, 2020 and is treated as neither debt nor equity. Bank limits were utilized at an average of 74 percent for the past twelve months ended September 2020.  The company's bank limits were enhanced to Rs 37.50 crore from Rs 30 crore during the month of August 2020.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believe KSPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoter, and established relationships with clients. 

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factor
* Sustained improvement in margins to over 16% and scale, leading to higher cash accruals.
* Improvement in working capital cycle
 
Downward factor
* Decline in net cash accruals below Rs 15 crore on account of decline in revenue or operating profits.
* Large debt-funded capital expenditure and/or substantial increase in its working capital requirements thus weakening its liquidity & financial profile.
