Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its ‘CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+’ ratings on the bank facilities of Shreedhar Cotsyn Private Limited (SCPL; part of Shreedhar Group).

 

The ratings continue to reflect the experience of SCPL's promoters, geographically diverse customer base, efficient working capital management and comfortable debt protection metrics. These strengths are partially offset by a moderate financial risk profile and susceptibility of operating performance to changes in regulation and volatile raw material prices along with exposure to project risk.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of SCPL along with Shreedhar Spinners private limited (SSPL). This is because SCPL owns 96.67% subsidiary of SSPL and has given corporate guarantee.

 

Unsecured loans of Rs 10.60 crore as on March 31, 2022 have been treated as debt in the absence of track record of non-withdrawal.

 

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:

Experience of promoters and geographically diverse customer base

Group has established a strong position in domestic and international markets as a trader for over two decades, supported by the extensive experience of the partners and their longstanding relation with customers while successfully navigating through several business cycles over the years.

 

Efficient working capital management

Working capital cycle is efficiently managed, as reflected in gross current assets estimated around 59 days as on March 31, 2022 on the back of debtors of around 45 days. Working capital cycle is expected to remain efficient over the medium term as well.

 

Comfortable debt protection metrics

Group’s debt protection metrics improved in fiscal 2022 on back of better operating margin. Interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratio is estimated to be moderate at 4.41 times and 0.42 time, respectively in fiscal 2022. Sustenance of debt protection metrics amid debt funded capex remains to be seen.

 

Weakness:

Moderate capital structure

Modest networth estimated at Rs. 21.78 crore and high total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio of 2.32 times as on March 31, 2022 represent moderate capital structure.  Capital structure is expected to be leverage in fiscal 2023 on account of ongoing debt funded capex..

 

Susceptibility of operating performance to changes in regulation and volatile raw material prices

Raw material accounts for majority of the total revenue, which exposes the firm to risks relating to volatility in raw material prices. Moreover, the industry is highly regulated in terms of cotton prices, export/import policies, which affects the operating performance of the group. While group’s operating margin improved from 1.6% to 5.2% on account of favourable price movement, sustenance remains to be seen.

 

Exposure to moderate project risk

Company under its subsidiary SSPL is setting up a Cotton spinning yarn unit at Amravati, Maharashtra. Group is exposed to moderate project risk on account of same. Plant is expected to start in October 2022. Timely completion of capex without major cost overrun will remain monitorable.

Liquidity: Stretched

Bank limit utilisation averaged at around 89.1 percent for the past twelve months ended March 2022. Cash accruals are expected to be over Rs 7 crores which are sufficient against term debt obligation of Rs 1-6 crores over the medium term. In addition, it will be act as cushion to the liquidity of the company. Liquidity is also supported by unsecured loans infused by promoters of Rs 10.60 crore as on March 31, 2022. Cash and bank balance are estimated around 5.7 crore as on March 31, 2022. Company has done capex for building up new setup for SSPL. Current ratio are moderate at 1.56 times on March 31, 2022.

Outlook Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes SCPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

  • Sustained revenue growth of over 15 percent over the medium term while sustaining margin of over 5% leading to higher cash accruals.
  • Sustained improvement in financial risk profile and improvement in capital structure
  • Timely completion of capex without cost overrun

 

Downward factors

  • Fall in revenue of operating margin resulting in lower than expected cash accruals
  • Deterioration in the financial risk profile with TOLANW above 4 times
  • More-than-expected dividend payout, increase in working capital requirement, material increase in advance to group companies weakening the financial risk profile, particularly liquidity
