Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BBB+/Stable/CRISIL A2+' ratings on the bank facilities of Maco Corporation India Private Limited (MCIPL).
 
The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of the promoters, in the engineering industry, their established relationships with suppliers and customers, and the company's healthy financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by working capital-intensive nature of operations.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive experience of the promoters, and established relationships with suppliers and customers
The promoters have been engaged in executing turnkey projects and trading activities, for over four decades, and have maintained strong relationships with suppliers and customers. Timeliness and quality in execution of projects have helped MCIPL bag repeat orders from customers. Clientele includes reputed entities such as Steel Authority of India Ltd, Tata Steel Ltd, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd, Reliance Industries Ltd, and Oil India Ltd. The promoters have also established presence overseas, via associate companies, Sunag Corporation (USA) and Sunag Corporation (Europe). MCIPL also has joint ventures and consortium agreements with foreign partners. The global network of operations ensures proximity to suppliers, enhances the ability to source raw material, and has helped establish a strong commercial background.
 
* Healthy financial risk profile resulting in strong liquidity
Financial risk profile is marked by an adequate networth, low gearing and robust debt protection metrics. Networth stood at Rs 184.67 crore as on March 31, 2019, driven by a healthy operating margin, and sizeable accretion to reserve. Working capital requirement, though large, is mostly covered via internal cash accrual and credit from suppliers. Thus, gearing has been low at 0.08-0.15 time over the three years ended March 31, 2019 (0.08 time as on March 31, 2019). Healthy operating profit margin, along with minimal dependence on external debt, has resulted in strong debt protection metrics, with interest coverage ratio of 16.74 times and net cash accrual to total debt ratio of 1.46 times in fiscal 2019 (11.46 times and 1.11 times, respectively, in fiscal 2018).
 
Weakness
* Working capital-intensive operations
Gross current asset days have been high, in the range of 203-321 days over the three years, ended March 31, 2019, mainly led by receivables of 177-217 days over the same period. Receivables were stretched, mainly because revenue is booked on despatch of the product, while payment is received in stages. 5-10% of project receivables are withheld as retention money, and released only 9-12 months, post commissioning of the project.
Liquidity Adequate
Liquidity is marked by adequate cash accrual of Rs 21.9 crore in fiscal 2019, against no maturing debt. Cash accrual is likely to be in the range of Rs 23-25 crore, going forward. Current ratio was over 4.17 times as on March 31, 2019, backed by moderate unencumbered cash and bank balances and large liquid investments (around Rs 70 crore as on March 31, 2019). The company has sizeable liquid funds, in a combination of cash and bank balances, short-term liquid funds, debt mutual funds, and bonds worth Rs 91.44 crore as on March 31, 2019 (Rs 78.2 crore as on March 31, 2018). Being risk-averse, the management invests its surplus only in mutual funds/bonds, and has no sizeable equity investment. Working capital requirement is met via healthy net cash accrual and credit from suppliers, with limited reliance on debt. Working capital limit of Rs 35 crore were modestly used at an average of 49% in the 12 months through November 2019.
Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes MCIPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters, healthy operating capability, and longstanding customer relationships.
 
Rating sensitivity factors
Upward Factors
*Growth in revenue (by 20%) and healthy profitability
*Better working capital management, ensuring lower reliance on external debt, and thereby, improving financial flexibility.
 
Downward Factors
*Decrease in scale of operation leading to cash accruals lower of Rs 10 crore
*Stretch in debtors realization or increase in inventory level leading to weakening of liquidity profile.
*Substantial increase in investment in group companies or large debt funded capex deteriorates financial profile of the company.
