Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities of Renaissance Global Limited (RGL) at ‘CRISIL BBB+/Positive/CRISIL A2‘.

 

CRISIL Ratings has revised its outlook on the long term bank facilities of RGL to ‘Positive’ from ‘Stable’ and has reaffirmed the rating at CRISIL BBB+’. The short term rating has been reaffirmed at ‘CRISIL A2’ on July 29, 2022.

 

The outlook revision reflects expectation of sustained improvement in business risk profile over the medium term. Group’s operating performance improved in fiscal 2022. The group’s revenue grew at healthy rate of ~33% in fiscal 2022 against previous fiscal and has registered revenue of ~Rs. 2,208.7 crores. Growth in revenue was driven by increased volumes and improved price realisations in spite of change in accounting policy for revenue recognition. Further, operating margins of the group improved from ~5.2% in FY21 to 9.1% in FY22 (~2.1% improvement was on account of base change). The improvement in margins is led by improved sales mix with focus on high margin branded jewellery business. Consequently, financial risk profile and liquidity has also improved with net cash accruals of over Rs 140 crore in fiscal 2022. Inventory days have also been improved on like to like basis from 160 days in FY21 to 131 days in FY22. Sustenance of improved operating performance while maintaining higher proportion of sales in branded jewellery segment to remain rating sensitivity factor.

 

The ratings continue to reflect the group’s focus on increasing presence in the branded jewellery segment, established market presence backed by the experience of the promoters, and comfortable financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by susceptibility to intense competition susceptibility to regulatory changes and working capital intensive operations.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of RGL and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the Renaissance group, because of their strong business, operational and financial linkages.

 

Unsecured loan of Rs 3.7 crore as on March 31, 2021, from related entities has been treated as debt due to tendency of withdrawal of such loans.

 

Please refer Annexure - List of Entities Consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

Focus on increasing presence in the branded jewellery segment

Renaissance group has been continuously expanding in the high margin branded jewellery segment. Group had acquired US-based Jay Gems, which has a licensing agreement for 'Enchanted by Disney Fine Jewelry' in the US and Canada. The group has entered the Indian retail segment through its IRASVA brand. And, also the group had recently entered into strategic licensing partnership with National Football League (NFL). Increased branded jewellery business is expected to improve its operating margins over medium term.

 

Established market presence backed by the experience of the promoters

The group is one of the largest exporters of studded jewellery from India, with manufacturing facilities in India and in the UAE. The extensive experience of the promoters of more than two decades has helped the group establish its position in the international diamond studded jewellery segment. The promoters have longstanding relations with customers and have successfully navigated through several business cycles over the years.

 

Comfortable financial risk profile

Group is having healthy networth of around Rs 1034 crore as on March 31, 2022. Gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio of 0.6 time and 1.2 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2022. Debt protection metrics were comfortable, reflected in interest coverage and net cash accruals to adjusted debt of 6.7 times and ~0.2 times for fiscal 2022 and is expected to remain comfortable over medium term. Healthy accretion to reserves will maintain comfortable financial risk profile over the medium term.

 

Weakness:

Susceptibility to intense competition

The gems and jewellery industry is highly fragmented because of low entry barriers on account of relatively low capital and technology requirements, attracting numerous unorganised players across the country. However, this risk is partly migrated by group’s established presence in branded segment. The group maintains inventory of polished diamonds, which makes it susceptible to fluctuations in diamond prices. Impact of volatility in raw material prices as well as revenue mix on the operating margin remains a key monitorable.

 

Susceptibility to regulatory changes

The Gems and jewellery industry is susceptible to regulatory changes by the government. Any unfavorable regulatory change may impact the revenue or margins of the group.

 

Working capital intensive operations

Operations have been working capital intensive, with gross current assets (GCA), inventory and receivables at 277 days, 171 days and 75 days, respectively, as on March 31, 2022. Although inventory levels have moderated, operations are expected to remain working capital intensive over medium term.

Liquidity:  Adequate

Group has adequate liquidity driven by unencumbered cash and cash equivalents of around Rs. 181 crore as on March 31, 2022. RGL has access to fund based bank lines of Rs 256.5 crore which were utilized to the tune of 77% for 12 months ended April 2022. Net cash accrual, expected at more than Rs 125 crore per fiscal in fiscals 2023 and 2024 against NIL term debt obligation in FY23 and Rs. 12.5 crores in FY24. Apart from debt repayments, the group has to make payments to promoters of Jay Gems USA of around Rs 56 crore in fiscal 2023, out of which Rs. 28 crores has already been paid. Group is having no major capex plan over medium term. CRISIL Ratings believes that going forward RGL's net cash accruals and unutilized bank limits will be sufficient to fund its fixed costs, repayment obligations, capex plans and incremental working capital requirements

Outlook: Positive

CRISIL Ratings believes RGL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and established presence in exports market along with increasing contribution from the branded jewellery segment

Rating Sensitivity Factors

Upward factor

  • Sustained revenue growth with increased contribution from branded jewellery segment and leading to sustained margins over 8.5%
  • Improvement in working capital cycle driven by sustained improvement in inventory
  • Sustenance of financial risk profile

 

Downward factor

  • Decline in revenue or drop in operating margins below 6.5%.
  • Stretch in the working capital cycle
  • More than expected dividend payout, debt funded capex weakening the financial risk profile especially liquidity
