Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has revoked the suspension of its rating on the bank facilities of Royal Embroidery Threads Private Limited (RETPL) and has assigned its 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+' ratings to the bank facilities of RETPL. CRISIL had suspended the ratings on 25th November 2011 on account of non-cooperation by RETPL with CRISIL efforts to undertake review of the ratings. RETPL has now shared the requisite information enabling CRISIL to assign its ratings.
 
The ratings reflect the extensive experience of the promoters in the textile industry, established customer and supplier relationship and their fund support. These strengths are partly offset by modest scale of operations in intensely competitive industry, large working capital requirements and below-average financial risk profile.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL has treated unsecured loans from promoters as neither debt nor equity (outstanding Rs. 5.7 crores as on 31st March 2020) since it is expected to be retained in business over medium term.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strength:
* Extensive industry experience of the promoters: The promoters have experience of more than three decades in the textile industry. This has given them an understanding of market dynamics and helped establish healthy relationships with suppliers and customers. Revenues have hence increased to Rs. 66.22 crore in fiscal 2020, from Rs. 50.21 Crore in fiscal 2017.

Fund support from promoters: Promoters have infused unsecured loans of Rs. 5 crores for meeting the funding requirements of the company, which supports the liquidity profile.

Weaknesses:
* Modest scale of operation and susceptibility to intense competition: RETPL's business is constrained by its modest scale, as reflected in revenues of Rs 66 crore in fiscal 2020. Modest scale limits pricing flexibility, thereby constraining profitability. Competition is intense in the textile weaving industry because of low entry barrier on account of limited capital and technology requirement and negligible differentiation in end products.

* Average financial risk profile: The financial profile is constrained by high total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio Networth was modest and the total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW)  ratio high at Rs 3.74 crore and 11.3 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2020, on account of loans taken to increase capacity and meet working capital requirement.. Debt protection metrics are subdued, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios estimated at 1.67 times and 0.06 time, respectively, in fiscal 2020. Financial profile is expected to remain at similar levels.

* Large working capital requirements: Operations are working capital intensive as indicated by the gross current asset (GCA) of 183 days as on March 31, 2020, on account of high inventory holding period of 83 days and debtors of 81 days.
Liquidity Stretched

Cash accrual is expected at more than Rs 1.9-2.1 crore in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 against long-term debt obligation of Rs 0.92 crore and Rs 1.58 crore, respectively. Cash and equivalent is estimated at Rs 3.16 crore as on March 31, 2020. Utilisation of the fund-based limit of Rs 20.45 crore averaged 86.57% over the 12 months through June 2020. The promoters have extended support through unsecured loans to meet the working capital requirement.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes RETPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and established relationships with clients.

Rating Sensitivity Factor
Upward factors
* Increase in revenue by 25-30% with sustainable operating margins, leading to cash accruals of more than Rs. 3 crores
* Improvement in the capital structure with better working capital cycle.

Downward factors
* Decline in revenue by 20-25% or operating margins, leading to lower net cash accrual
* Further stretch in working capital cycle, further deteriorating financial risk profile.
