Detailed rationale:

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its ‘CRISIL BBB-/Stable’ rating on the long-term bank facilities of P. Mangatram Jewellers Private Limited (PMJPL).


The rating continues to reflect the company's established market position, strong relationships with customers, and above-average financial risk profile driven by moderate networth and low gearing. These strengths are partially offset by large working capital requirement and exposure to regulatory risk in the jewellery industry.

Key rating drivers & detailed description
Strengths:
* Established market position and longstanding customer relationships:

The company’s promoters have been in the gems and jewellery industry for around two decades; they began manufacturing jewellery under PMJPL in 2005. The company deals with all kinds of gold, diamond, and precious stone jewellery such as necklaces, rings, bangles, pendants, bracelets, and earrings. The company has established strong relationships with reputed players in the domestic market. Also, 25-30% of the products are exported to the USA, Dubai and other Middle Eastern countries.

 

* Above-average financial risk profile:

Networth is expected to be around Rs 67.5 crore as on March 31, 2021. Gearing significantly improved to around 0.49 time as on March 31, 2020, due to lower utilisation of bank facilities towards the year-end. Gearing is expected to remain below 1 time as on March 31, 2021. Debt protection metrics are expected to remain comfortable, with interest cove rage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of around 3.6 times and 0.18 time, respectively, in fiscal 2021.


Weaknesses:
* Large working capital requirement:

Gross current assets (GCAs) are expected to be 159 days as on March 31, 2021, because of large inventory of 75-90 days.


* Exposure to regulatory risk in the jewellery industry:

In India, the current regulatory environment is stringent with the government and various regulatory authorities implementing restrictions on imports/exports of gold depending on the prevailing market conditions. Import duties are often altered to align with the overall economic interest of the nation, with gold imports being a key contributor to the nation's current account deficit. Revenue growth and profitability remain susceptible to regulatory interventions, wherein any adverse policy decision, leading to unfavorable movement in gold prices, could negatively impact demand prospects and profitability.

Liquidity: Adequate 

Cash accrual is expected to be around Rs 7-10 crore per fiscal over the medium term against nil debt obligation. Bank limit was utilised at 56% for the 12 months through December 2020. Current ratio was comfortable at over 2 times as on March 31, 2020, and is expected to remain at a similar level in fiscal 2021 as well. Unsecured loans from the promoters will also support liquidity.

Outlook: Stable

PMJPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and their established relations with customers.

Rating sensitivity factors:

Upward factors:   

  • Higher-than-expected growth of 20-25% in revenue with sustenance of operating margin at current levels
  • Improvement in working capital cycle

 
Downward factors:

  • Deterioration in business risk profile because of decline in profitability below 3%
  • Any stretch in receivables leading to deterioration in GCAs to 180 days

About the company:

Incorporated in 2005 and promoted by Mr Sanjay Gulabani and Mr Amit Gulabani, PMJPL manufactures gold jewellery studded with diamonds and precious stones. The company was set up as a proprietorship in 2004 but was reconstituted as a private limited company in 2005. PMJPL sells to retailers in India and also exports to customers in the Middle East and the USA. Manufacturing facility is located in Abids, Hyderabad.
