Detailed Rationale

Due to inadequate information and in line with the Securities and Exchange Board of India guidelines, CRISIL Ratings had migrated its rating on the long-term bank facilities of S R Overseas - Panipat (SROP) to ‘CRISIL B+/Stable Issuer Not Cooperating'. However, the firm’s management has subsequently started sharing the information necessary for carrying out a comprehensive review of the rating. Consequently, CRISIL Ratings is migrating its rating on the bank facility of SROP to ‘CRISIL B/Stable’. 

 

The rating reflects the firm’s modest scale of operations and tightly matched accruals against repayment obligation. These weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive experience of the promoters and moderate financial risk profile.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Weakness:

Modest scale of operations

Intense competition will continue to constrain scalability, as reflected in modest revenue of Rs 21.02 crore in fiscal 2021, pricing power and profitability. Additionally, the firm has stopped producing bedsheets and shifted to manufacturing polar blankets only, which exposes the firm to risks related to seasonality. As a result, operating income fell to Rs 17.68 crore in fiscal 2022.

 

Tightly match accruals against repayment obligation

Company’s repayment obligation for FY22 was at 0.67 crores with an estimated cash accruals of 0.77 crores leading to a Net cash accruals/repayment obligation (NCA/RO) of 1.13 times. Though expected growth in business will lead to a higher cash accrual, increase in repayment obligation towards term loans will result in NCA/RO in the range of 1.2-1.4 times over the medium term. Improvement in business risk profile leading to NCA/RO over 1.5 time will remain a key rating sensitive factor.

 

Strengths:

Extensive experience of the promoters

The promoters have over two decades of experience in the blanket manufacturing business. Their strong understanding of market dynamics and healthy relationships with suppliers and customers will continue to support the business and operating efficiency. The firm has established clientele in north India.

 

Moderate financial risk profile

Total outside liabilities to tangible net worth (TOLTNW) ratio is estimated at 3-4 times as on March 31, 2022, driven by sizeable debt. The TOLTNW ratio is expected to improve aided by accretion to reserve and absence of debt-funded capital expenditure; albeit the ratio will remain high at 2-4 times over the medium term. Net worth was small at Rs 1.75 crore as on March 31, 2022. Debt protection metrics were average, as reflected in interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 2.5-3 times and 0.1-0.15 time, respectively, in fiscal 2022.

Liquidity: Poor

Cash accrual, projected at Rs 1-1.2 crore per annum, will just about cover yearly debt obligation of Rs 0.8-1 crore. Bank limit utilization was high at 86% on average for the 12 months through June 2022. Current ratio is expected at 1.15-1.4 times over the medium term. The promoters will continue to provide need-based funding support by way of unsecured loans.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes SROP will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of the promoters and established relationships with customers.

Rating Sensitivity Factors

Upward factors

  • Improvement in business risk profile resulting in higher cash accruals leading to NCA/RO of more than 1.5 times
  • Healthy increase in revenue while maintaining a stable margins.

 

Downward factors

  • Decline in operating margin or further decline in revenue leading to NCA/RO of lower than 1.2 times
  • Contraction of new debt leading to weaking of financial risk profile.
