Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL BBB+/Stable' rating to the long term facilities of Ravali Spinners Private Limited (RSPL).
 
The ratings continue to reflect RSPL's established market position in the cotton yarn industry supported by the extensive experience of promoters and their established customer relationships. The ratings also factor in an above-average financial risk profile because of a healthy net worth, moderate gearing, and comfortable debt protection metrics. Furthermore, the ratings are supported by the strong financial support RSPL receives from RK Hair group. These strengths are partially offset by RSPL's working capital-intensive operations, its exposure to intense competition in the cotton yarn industry, and the susceptibility to volatility in cotton prices.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has factored in support from RSPL's parent, RK Hair Products Private Limited ('CRISIL BBB+/Stable').

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Established market position in the cotton yarn industry supported by the extensive experience of promoters and their established customer relationships
RSPL benefits from extensive entrepreneurial experience of Mr. Ravindra Nath Vanka for nearly three decades. RSPL has established market position in the cotton spinning industry and it is one of the largest spinning units in Andhra Pradesh. Due to promoter's experience and established market position, RSPL has established strong relationship with customers and suppliers.
 
* Above-average financial risk profile
Financial risk profile is marked by healthy networth, comfortable capital structure and adequate debt protection metrics.
 
Networth remains healthy at Rs. 145 Cr as on March 31, 2019. With moderate accretion to reserves, it is expected to be around Rs. 150 Cr over the medium term. Capital structure remains comfortable with gearing and TOLTNW of 1.42 and 1.72 times respectively as on March 31, 2019. Debt protection metrics remain adequate with interest cover and NCATD of 3.32 and 12 % respectively for FY19.
 
* Support from RK Hair group
RSPL is supported by RK Hair group through unsecured loans and corporate guarantees. Unsecured loans from group remained at Rs. 21.49 Cr as on March 31, 2019. Indian Hair Industries Private Limited (Indian Hair) has provided corporate guarantee to the bank facilities of RSPL.
 
Weaknesses
* Working capital-intensive operations: Operations are working capital intensive with estimated high gross current assets of 157 days as on March 31, 2018, driven by sizeable inventory and moderate debtors.
 
* Exposure to intense competition in the cotton yarn industry, and susceptibility to volatility in cotton prices: The cotton yarn industry is fragmented and dominated by numerous small, unorganized players and few large players. Furthermore, margins are vulnerable to cotton prices, which are highly volatile and constitutes 73% of the total cost. Due to higher input prices and low demand for cotton yarn, operating profitability has decreased from 11.4 % in FY17 to 8.3 % in FY19. Sustenance of operating profitability remain a key rating sensitivity factor over the medium term.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity profile of RSPL is marked by healthy cushion between accruals and repayments, moderate bank limit utilization and moderate current ratio.
 
RSPL has generated cash accruals of Rs. 24 Cr against repayment obligations of Rs. 17 Cr for FY19. It is expected to generate cash accruals of around Rs. 25 Cr against repayment obligations of around Rs. 11 Cr over the medium term. Average bank limit utilization remains around 70-80 % over the past 7 months ending October 2019. Current ratio remains healthy at 1.47 times as on March 31, 2019. Additionally, unsecured loans from promoters and RK hair group remained at Rs. 29 Cr as on March 31, 2019. Support from promoters and RK hair group is expected to be continued over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes RSPL will continue to benefit over the medium term from its promoters' extensive experience and established relationships with customers.
 
Rating Sensitivity Factor
Upward factor
*Sustained revenue growth of 15% percent over the medium term while the profitability is maintained at FY19 levels
*Improvement in credit risk profile of parent
 
Downward factors
*Stretch in working capital cycle with GCA above 200 days    
*Weakening in the credit risk profile of parent.
