Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has upgraded its long term rating on bank facilities of Maruti Interior Products Limited (MIPL) to CRISIL BB+/Stable from ‘CRISIL BB/Stable’.

 

The upgrade reflects the improved financial profile following the raising of capital through initial public offering (IPO). In February 2022, the company raised a capital of Rs. 11 cr through IPO more than doubling the net worth. Consequently, strengthening MIPL’s capital structure and financial flexibility. Funds shall be deployed towards capex and working capital requirements and restrain reliance on debt over medium term. MIPL’s business profile remains steady backed by sharp rebound and growth in sales (though scale remains modest) and healthy profitability.

 

The rating reflect MIPL's extensive experience of the promoters in the housewares and specialties industry and moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by the modest scale of operations and susceptibility to volatile raw material prices.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Extensive experience of the promoters: Benefits from the two-decade-long experience of the promoters, their strong understanding of the market dynamics, and healthy relationships with suppliers and customers should continue to support the business.

 

  • Moderate financial risk profile: The company had a net worth of Rs. 10.3 cr and gearing of 0.19 times as on as on March 31, 2021. MIPL’s net worth is estimated to have more than doubled as on March 31, 2022 backed by issuance of fresh equity capital and healthy profits in fiscal 2022. Debt protection metrics are healthy, as reflected in interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 16.4 times and 1.2 times, respectively in FY21. For fiscal 2022 also debt protection measures are estimated to have remained comfortable.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Modest scale of operations: Although revenue of MIPL has grown healthily, the scale and business profile remains restrained by its modest scale. During fiscal 2022, MIPL is estimated to have grown by more than 80% over previous year’s Rs 15.20 crore.

 

  • Susceptibility to volatile raw material prices: The prices of steel and aluminum, which are key raw materials are highly volatile and makes MIPL’s margin susceptible to any sharp fluctuation.

Liquidity: Adequate

Company is estimated to generate annual cash accruals of Rs. 4-5 cr against its term debt obligations below Rs. 0.5 cr. Bank limit utilisation is low at less than 20 percent for the past twelve months ended December 2021. Current ratio are healthy at 2.6 times on March 31, 2021. Further, pending the deployment of IPO proceeds, company currently has healthy cash bank balance. Low gearing and moderate net worth support its financial flexibility, and provides the financial cushion available in case of any adverse conditions or downturn in the business.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes MIPL will continue to benefit from the promoters' extensive experience and healthy relationships with clients and comfortable financial risk profile.
