Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL B+/Stable' rating on the long term bank loan facilities of Scoobee Day Garments India Limited (Former name -Victory Paper and Boards India Ltd) and reassigned its ‘CRISIL A4’ rating on the short-term bank loan facility.

 

The rating reflects SDGIL’s nascent stage of operations and weak operating efficiencies. These weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive industry experience of the promoter and funding support from promoters and group companies.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Weaknesses:

  • Nascent stage of operations: The business risk profile is constrained because of nascent stage of operations. Revenue is expected to improve gradually over the medium term. Company has started export from fiscal 2022.

 

  • Weak operating efficiencies: Operating margin and return on capital employed (RoCE) are low, driven by low-capacity utilisation and nascent stage of operations. With improvement in scale of operation operating margin and ROCE is expected to improve.

 

Strength:

  • Extensive industry experience of the promoters and funding support from them: SDGIL is a part of the Anna-Kitex group, which is one of the oldest business conglomerates in Kerala, with businesses spanning from aluminium products, textiles and spices to trading. The group, founded by Mr M.C. Jacob in 1968, is currently managed by Mr Boby M. Jacob. SDGIL was taken over by the present management in fiscal 2018. Furthermore, the company’s liquidity is supported by timely, need-based funds extended by the promoter and group companies.

Liquidity: Stretched

Bank limit utilisation is low at less than 10% for the past twelve months ended December 2021.Cash accrual are expected to be over Rs.4-5 crores which are insufficient against term debt obligation of Rs.6 crores over the medium term. Unsecured loans from promoters and group company is expected to support liquidity profile. Current ratio is low at 0.22 times on March 31, 2021.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes SDGIL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoter and established relationships with clients.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors:

  • Significant increase in revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin of more than 10%
  • Improvement in the financial risk profile

 

Downward factors:

  • Decline in revenue or EBITDA margin
  • Stretch in the working capital cycle, resulting in weakening of the liquidity profile
