Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has downgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Oriental Rubber Industries Pvt Ltd (ORIPL, a part of the Oriental group) to 'CRISIL BB+/Negative/CRISIL A4+' from 'CRISIL BBB/Stable/CRISIL A3+'.

The downgrade reflects deterioration in liquidity and continued pressure on it in the near term due to large working capital requirement and sizeable advances to subsidiary in the form of investments and loans and advances. ORIPL has advances total of Rs 35.4 crore to its South African subsidiary, Oriental Rubber Industries (SA) Pty Ltd (ORSA) over the past three years. While steps are being taken to liquidate some loans and advances, the quantum and timeliness of the same will remain a key rating sensitivity factor going forward.

Further Indian operations are expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% for the three years ended March 2019 leading to large incremental working capital requirement. The working capital requirements were further accentuated due to large GST refunds getting blocked as on March 31, 2018. As of now large portion of these refunds have been monetized. In absence of enhancements in bank lines and discontinuation of limits in ORSA, the existing bank lines have been fully utilized. This is reflected in fully utilised bank limit in the 12 months ended March 2018, with instances of letter of credit devolvement and overdue of export bill discounting; albeit being paid off within 2-3 days. Though the company has approached Bajaj Finance Limited and Kotak Mahindra Bank for additional funding, liquidity will remain constrained over the medium term. Also the group has received sanction from ABSA Bank, South Africa in order to line up funding requirements in ORSA.

The business risk profile, however has continued to remain strong in the conveyor belt industry not only in domestic market but also in exports, especially, in USA, Europe, Australia, Africa, etc. The company caters to diversified industry and location, thus mitigating the risks related to a particular location or industry.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of ORIPL and its step-down subsidiary based in South Africa, ORSA. This is because both the entities, together referred to as the Oriental group, are under a common management and have operational synergies and fungible funds between them.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Diversified revenue profile: Market position is strengthened by a product profile that caters to many end users in various geographies, and a large customer base. Ramp up of operations led to a 37% growth in revenue to Rs 479 crore in fiscal 2018 from Rs 350.3 crore in the previous fiscal.

* Longstanding presence of promoters: The three decade-long experience of promoters will continue to support business risk profile.

Weakness
* Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets are estimated at 257 days as on March 31, 2018, due to stretched receivables and retention money. Inventory is also sizeable because of lead time for imports.

* Large investments/loans and advances to group companies: The investments and advances given to the subsidiary have increased over the past three years from Rs 15.6 crore as on March 31, 2016 to Rs 35.4 crore as on March 31, 2018. These higher than expected investments in subsidiary have impacted the liquidity of the Indian entity.
Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes the Oriental group's liquidity will remain under pressure over the medium term. The rating may be downgraded if more-than-expected delay in receipts of funds from the subsidiary, or significant large investments in subsidiary, delay in disbursements of new bank lines, or additional stretch in working capital cycle deteriorates ORIPL's liquidity. The outlook may be revised to 'Stable' if timely receipt of funds from the subsidiary and better working capital management improve liquidity.

Operations are managed by, Mr Vikram Makar and Mr Vishal Makar. The company also has a facility in South Africa that operates under its step-down subsidiary, ORSA.
