Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL BBB+/Stable/CRISIL A2' ratings to the bank facilities of Rajshree Polypack Limited (RPL).
 
The ratings reflect the extensive experience of the promoters in the plastic packaging industry with well-established supplier and customer relationship, and strong financial profile. These strengths are partially offset by increasing yet average scale of operations amid intense competition, and exposure to volatility in input cost.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive experience of the promoters
The promoters' experience of over two decades, their strong understanding of local market dynamics, and healthy relations with suppliers and customers should continue to support the business. The clientele comprises reputed players such as Hindustan Uniliver Limited, Nourishco Beverages Limited, Huhtamaki PPL Limited, Ferrero Inc. among others.  This has resulted in increase in revenues over the year, reflected in topline of Rs 125.45 crore in fiscal 2019 (estimated to be ~Rs 140 crore for fiscal 2020) from Rs 95.33 crore in fiscal 2017.
 
* Diversified product profile catering to reputed customer base across multiple industries: Company has a diversified product profile that includes plastic rigid sheets, various types of packaging products, varied size containers, cups and bottles made of 100% food grade materials. The products find application in various end-user industries such as- fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), food and beverages, etc. The company has a diversified customer base, with top 10 customers contributing to ~60 per cent of the revenue. Moreover, it has presence across India as well as in European market. Thus diversified product profile, reputed customer base, and wide geographical presence de-risks the business to a large extent.
 
* Comfortable financial risk profile
As on March 31 2019, networth is strong at Rs. 91.84 crore, capital structure low with gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth ratios of 0.16 time and 0.35 time, respectively, expected to be less than 0.5 time as on March 31, 2020. Debt protection metrics have been adequate with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 10.18 times and 0.76 time, respectively, in fiscal 2019, expected to be at similar levels in fiscal 2020. Financial risk profile is expected to remain at similar level over the medium term with no major debt funded capital expenditure.
 
Weaknesses
* Average scale of operations amid intense competition
Scale of operations is average, with revenues of Rs 125.45 crore in fiscal 2019, estimated to be ~Rs 140 crore for fiscal 2020. The plastic packaging industry is highly fragmented and the consequent intense competition from various players may continue to constrain scalability, pricing power and profitability.
 
* Exposure to volatility in input cost
Major raw material include High-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and polypropylene for manufacturing industrial plastics, which are crude-oil derivatives and thus the prices for the same are fluctuating in nature. This is reflected in volatile margins over last three fiscals ranging from 15-22 per cent. Since raw material costs account for a bulk of total production cost, even a slight variation in rates of raw materials may drastically impact profitability. Although raw material rates are revised periodically, margin will remain susceptible to sharp fluctuations in input cost.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity is adequate. Cash accrual, expected at Rs 17-20 crore per annum in fiscals 2020 and 2021, should comfortably cover yearly maturing debt of Rs 6.06 crore and Rs 5.24 crore, respectively. The bank limit of Rs 8.50 crore was 11%utilised for the 12 months through November 2019. Cash and bank balance stood at Rs 35.73 crore as on March 31, 2019, and the company has capex plans of Rs. 65 crore. CRISIL believes that internal cash accruals, cushion available in bank limits and cash and bank balance shall be sufficient to fund the annual repayment obligations and working capital requirements over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes RPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and healthy revenue visibility.
 
Rating sensitivity factors
Upward Factors
*Higher-than-anticipated increase in revenue and profitability improving cash accruals to more than Rs 20 crore
*Timely and successful execution of on-going projects, maintaining the low debt levels, and thus overall financial risk profile.
 
Downward Factors
*Steep decline in revenue and profitability to ~10%, leading to significantly low cash accruals
*Large debt funded capital expenditure and stretch in working capital cycle, weakening the capital structure.
