Detailed Rationale

PSWMLCRISIL has downgraded ratings on the bank facilities of Pasupati Spinning and Weaving Mills Limited (PSWML) to 'CRISIL B+/Stable/CRISIL A4' from 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+'.
 
The downgrade reflects the impact on the stretched liquidity of PSWML as it was unable to pay its annual listing fees to the Bombay stock exchange (BSE) since March, 2020 owing to which the trading of its shares have recently been suspended by BSE. Tight liquidity is also manifested in the delays seen in the payments to Employees Provident Fund Office (EPFO) for wages in the past few months.
 
PSWML is yet to announce its results for fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the deadline mandated for which was July 31, 2020 by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). CRISIL will continue to monitor the developments in PSWML and will update in case of any material information impacting its credit profile.
 
The ratings continue to reflect the susceptibility to volatile raw material prices and large working capital requirements. These ratings weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive experience of the promoters in the textile manufacturing industry along with PSWML's diversified product profile.

Analytical Approach

Of the total unsecured loans (Rs 13.51 crore as on March 31, 2019) extended to PSWML by the promoter, Rs 6.73 crore has been treated as neither debt nor equity. That is because this interest-free loan may remain in the business over the medium term.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weaknesses
* Susceptibility to volatile raw material prices
Main raw material, polyester, accounts for around 35% of total production cost, and is procured from Reliance Industries Ltd through dealers. Cost of polyester is linked to crude oil prices, which remain volatile.
 
* Large working capital requirement
The working capital cycle has been stretched and may remain so even over the medium term; hence, its efficient management will be closely monitored. Gross current assets were over 200 days as on September 30, 2019, driven by moderate debtors and huge inventory of around 93 days and 131 days respectively; also, creditors extended by the suppliers stood at 165 days.
 
Strengths
* Promoter's experience and diversified product profile
Benefits from the promoter's extensive experience of nearly four decades, their strong understanding of local market dynamics, and longstanding relationships with vendors and customers should continue to support the business. The promoter has efficiently diversified the clientele such that no single customer contributes more than 25% to the total revenue. The product portfolio is also diverse, comprising sewing thread, knitwear, and garments.
 
* Average capital structure: Gearing was 1.36 times as on September 30, 2019, with networth of Rs 32.1 crore. Debt protection metrics were average, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 1.6 times and 0.04 time, respectively, for the six months period ending September, 2019.
Liquidity Poor

Liquidity is poor. Poor liquidity is reflected in inability of company to pay its annual listing fees since March, 2020. Bank limit utilisation averaged 93% over the 12 months through December 2019. Net cash accrual, estimated at Rs 3.3 crore in fiscal 2020 is expected to have sufficiently covered maturing debt of around Rs 0.52 crore. Liquidity is also expected to remain supported by the timely, need-based funds extended by the promoter.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes PSWML will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of the promoter.

Rating Sensitivity Factors
Upward factors
* Revenue growth of more than 15% and the operating margin rising by 200 basis points, thereby leading to substantial cash accrual
* Significant reduction in working capital cycle and subsequent improvement in liquidity profile

Downward factors
* Drop in revenue by more than 10% and a steep decline in profitability (as compared to fiscal 2019)
* Larger-than-expected, debt-funded capital expenditure
* Deterioration in liquidity profile.
