Long Term Rating CRISIL BBB-/Stable (Reaffirmed)

Refer to annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BBB-/Stable' rating on the long-term bank facilities of Sai Leela Synthetics Private Limited (SLSPL, part of the Sai Leela group).

The rating continues to reflect the promoters' extensive experience, and the group's established market position and above-average financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by working capital intensity in operations and exposure to intense competitive pressure.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL has consolidated the business and financial risk profiles of SLSPL, Sai Leela Processors Pvt Ltd (SPPL) and Karni Processors Pvt Ltd (KPPL). That is because these companies, collectively referred to herein as the Sai Leela group, have a common management and line of business, in addition to financial fungibility.

Of the unsecured loans of Rs 21.62 crore received from the promoters as of March 2019, 75% has been treated as equity, and the remainder as debt. The loans are subordinated to external debt, and interest paid is ploughed back into the business.

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
* Extensive experience of the promoter, and the group's established market position: The four decade-long experience of the promoters has helped the group build a diversified customer and supplier base. They have helped set up state-of-the-art technology, and to establish the group's market position in the textile industry in the Bhilwara region, which is a major textile hub. Revenue streams are also diversified between fabric sales and job-work income from the printing, dyeing and processing unit.
 
* Above-average financial risk profile: Financial risk profile is above-average, marked by networth and total outside liabilities to tangible networth ratio, estimated around Rs 69.15 crore and 1.74 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2019. Debt protection metrics are also comfortable, with interest coverage ratio and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios estimated at 2.10 times and 0.11 time, respectively, for fiscal 2019.
 
Weaknesses:
* Working capital intensive operations: Working capital intensity remains moderate, with gross current assets estimated at 160 days as on March 31, 2019, driven by inventory and receivables of 88 and 70 days, respectively. Credit of 15-25 days extended by yarn suppliers relieves some of the pressure on working capital. Utilisation of bank limit averaged 82% in the 12 months through March 2019.
 
* Exposure to intense competition in the textile industry: The group operates in the fragmented and intensely competitive textile industry. There have been sizeable capacity additions in fabric manufacturing in recent years, due to the central government's assistance through the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme. Intense competition limits pricing power with suppliers and customers, and therefore, profitability.
Liquidity

Liquidity is adequate, driven by expected cash accrual of more than Rs 11 crore per annum in fiscals 2020 and 2021 and cash and cash equivalents of Rs 1.98 crore as on March 31, 2019. Fund-based bank limit was utilised a 82% during the 12 months through March 2019. The group has long-term repayment obligation of Rs 4.53 crore in fiscal 2020 and in fiscal 2021.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes the Sai Leela group will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters, and from its established position in the textile industry in the Bhilwara region. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if significant growth in revenue and profitability leads to higher cash accrual, while the working capital cycle remains stable. The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if any substantial capital expenditure, stretch in working capital cycle, or slowdown in cash accrual weakens financial risk profile.
