Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL A-/Stable' rating on the long-term facilities of Royal Classic Mills Private Limited (RCPL) and assigned its 'CRISIL A2+' rating to the short term bank facility.

 

The rating reflects RCMPL's extensive industry experience of the promoters along with establish market position and healthy financial profile. These strengths are partially offset by its presence in a highly fragmented industry with limited size and moderate working capital cycle

 

On May 10, 2022, CRISIL Ratings had assigned its ‘CRISIL A-/Stable’ rating to the long term bank facilities of RCMPL.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Extensive industry experience of the promoters along with establish market position: RCMPL moderate scale provides it an operating flexibility in an intensely competitive industry. Further, it also benefits from the promoters' experience of over the 3 decades, strong brand presence in domestic market, their strong understanding of market dynamics, and healthy relations with customers and suppliers and will continue to support the business.

 

  • Healthy financial profile: RCMPL capital structure have been at healthy level due to lower reliance on external funds yielding gearing of 0.6 and low total outside liabilities to adj tangible networth (TOL/ANW) of 1.4 for year ending on 31st March 2021. RCMPL debt protection measures have also been at healthy level due to leverage and healthy profitability.  The interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt (NCATD) ratio are at 4.93 times and 0.41 times for fiscal 2021. RCMPL debt protection measures are expected to remain at similar level over medium term.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Presence in a highly fragmented industry with limited size: The industry is highly fragmented and competitive, with a large number of unorganized players in the market. Such high fragmentation limits the pricing flexibility and bargaining power of the players. Also, the threat from large integrated players in the form of capacity additions limits the growth. The industry is exposed to the risk low entry barriers. The small initial investment and the low complexity of operations have resulted in existence of innumerable entities, much smaller in size, leading to significant fragmentation

 

  • Moderate working capital cycle: Gross current assets were at 161-171 days over the three fiscals ended March 31, 2021. Its moderate working capital management is reflected in its gross current assets (GCA) of 161 days as on March 31, 2021, as against over 175 days GCAs of some of its peers. It is required to extend long credit period in line with the industry standards. As, the customers are small and medium size player who require credit. Furthermore, to meet its business requirement, it hold large work in process & inventory.

Liquidity: Adequate

Bank limit utilization is moderate at around 79 percent for the past twelve months ended January 2022. Cash accruals are expected to be over Rs 60-65 crores which are sufficient against term debt obligation of Rs 9-10 crores over the medium term. In addition, it will be act as cushion to the liquidity of the company.  Current ratio is healthy at 1.43 times on March31, 2021.  Low gearing and moderate net worth support its financial flexibility and provides the financial cushion available in case of any adverse conditions or downturn in the business.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believe RCMPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoter, and established relationships with clients.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

  • Sustained improvement in scale of operation while reduction in the customer concentration and sustenance of operating margin, leading to higher cash accruals more than 80 crores
  • Improvement in financial risk profile

 

Downward factors

  • Decline in scale of operations and profitability margin below leading to net cash accrual lower than Rs 60 crore.
  • Large debt-funded capital expenditure weakens capital structure
