Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has revoked the suspension of its ratings on bank faciltites of Patdiam Jewellery Ltd (PJL) and has assigned its 'CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+’ rating to them. CRISIL Ratings had suspended the ratings on December 11, 2015 on account of non-cooperation by PJL with CRISIL Ratings efforts to undertake a review of the ratings. PJL India has now shared the requisite information enabling CRISIL Rating to assign its ratings.

 

The ratings reflect extensive experience of the promoters in the jewellery business and comfortable financial risk profile of PJL. These strengths are partially offset by modest scale of operations amid intense competition and large working capital requirement.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans have been treated as debt.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

Extensive experience of promoters: The promoters have over two decades of experience in the jewellery industry. Their strong understanding of market dynamics and healthy relationships with suppliers and customers should continue to support the business. Revenue was around Rs 67 crore in fiscal 2021 and is expected to increase to Rs 100-120 crore in fiscal 2022 due to steady inflow of orders.

 

Comfortable financial risk profile: Financial risk profile is likely to remain supported by limited reliance in debt. Networth is expected at Rs 40-45 crore as on March 31, 2022, with gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth ratio at 0.2-0.3 time and 0.4-0.5 time, respectively. Debt protection metrics should continue to be adequate due to limited interest expense, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios of 4.9-4.95 times and 0.3-0.35 time, respectively, during fiscal 2022.

      

Weaknesses:
Moderate scale of operations amid intense competition: Revenue was modest at Rs. 67.6 crore in fiscal 2021 and is expected at Rs 100-110 crore for fiscal 2022.Modest scale restricts bargaining power with customers and suppliers. The jewellery industry is highly fragmented, and the consequent intense competitive pressure may continue to constrain scalability, pricing power and profitability.

 

Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets were 261 days as on March 31, 2021 and are expected to be at 200-220 days as on March 31, 2022, driven by inventory of 80-100 days and debtors of 90-180 days. The working capital cycle may remain stretched, with no changes expected in operating policies over the medium term.

Liquidity: Adequate

Cash accrual is expected at Rs.4.5-5 crore for fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, against debt obligation of Rs.0.70 crore annually. Average utilisation of the working capital limit of Rs.21 crores was around 40% during the 12 months through December 2021. Cash and cash equivalent was moderate at Rs.3.19 crores as on March 31, 2021.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes PJL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its partners, and established relationships with client.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors:

  • Substantial and sustainable increase in revenue and profitability, leading to cash accrual above Rs 5 crore
  • Significant improvement in the working capital cycle, with gross current assets below 200 days

 

Downward factors:

  • Steep decline in revenue and operating margin, resulting in cash accrual of less than Rs 2.5 crore
  • Further stretch in the working capital cycle, impacting financial risk profile

About the Company

PJL, established in 1999 in Mumbai, manufactures diamond-studded gold jewellery. Mr Pravin Kakadia and his family members are the promoters. In 2015, the company was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange for small and medium enterprises.

Status of non cooperation with previous CRA
