Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities of Shrim Bhanu Construction Private Limited (SBCPL) at 'CRISIL BBB/Stable/CRISIL A3+'.
 
The rating continues to reflect extensive industry experience of the promoters, healthy order book and healthy financial profile. These strengths are partially offset by exposure to risks relating to cyclicality in Indian real estate industry and economic cycles, intensive nature of working capital operations and geographical concentration risk in revenue profile.
 
On April 30, 2019 CRISIL had assigned its 'CRISIL BBB/Stable/CRISIL A3+' ratings to the bank facilities of SBCPL.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Promoter's extensive experience in the civil construction industry: SBCPL is promoted by Mr. Damji Bhanushali, Mr. Darshan Bhanushali (son of Mr. Damji Bhanushali), Mr. Harish Bhanushali (Brother of Mr. Damji Bhanushali). The company benefits from promoters' background of civil engineering and their extensive experience in understanding the dynamics of the market. The promoters experience has also helped the company to be associated with reputed clients such as Hiranandani Builders (rated CRISIL AA-/Stable), Lodha Group, Kalpataru Group, Lokhandwala Construction, Tata Power Company Limited (rated CRISIL AA-/Stable/CRISIL A1+) among others. CRISIL believes that Bhanu will continue to benefit over the medium term from the extensive experience of the promoters in the civil construction industry.
 
* Healthy order book: SBCPL has strong revenue visibility as reflected in its unexecuted order book of around Rs.395 crore to be implemented over the next 15-18 months. The firm's robust order book is attributed to its implementation abilities. SBCPL has built a track record of timely and quality project delivery over the years. CRISIL believes that with its healthy order book, the company will be able to scale up its operations over the medium term.
 
* Healthy financial risk profile: Financial risk profile is characterized by healthy gearing of lower than 1 times and healthy networth of around Rs 40 crore as on March 31, 2019. Debt protection metrics are also comfortable as reflected by estimated interest coverage of over 10 times and net cash accrual to adjusted debt of around 1 times for fiscal 2019.
 
Weakness
* Exposure to risks relating to cyclicality in Indian real estate industry and economic cycles: The real estate sector in India is fragmented and dominated by a few regional players; also, the industry is inherently cyclical. Demand was largely impacted by insecurity regarding earnings of individuals with the economy facing high retrenchment levels. Customers' anticipation of further correction in real estate prices was a key reason for low demand in the market.
 
* Intensive nature of working capital operations: Gross current assets were estimated to be at 238 days as on March 31, 2019 which is majorly due to high inventory levels and retention money to be kept for its orders. CRISIL believes that due to nature of orders, operations are expected to remain working capital intensive in nature.
 
* Geographical concentration risk in revenue profile: SBCPL has high geographic concentration in its revenue profile. SBCPL derives about 100 per cent of its sales from Maharashtra. Thus, any slowdown in these economies may adversely affect the financial and business performance of SBCPL.
Liquidity

* Moderate bank limit utilization
Bank limit utilization is moderate at around 78 percent for the past twelve months ended January, 2019. CRISIL believes that bank limit utilization is expected to remain moderate on account of large working capital requirement.
 
* Cash accrual sufficient/insufficient to meet debt obligation 
Cash accrual are expected to be over Rs 20 crore for fiscal 2020 which are expected to be sufficient against term debt obligation of around Rs 1 crore.
 
* Healthy current ratio
Current ratio is healthy at 2.21 times as on March 31, 2018.
 
* Support from promoters in form of unsecured loan
The promoters have supported in the form of unsecured loans to the company to meet its working capital requirements regularly in the past and is expected to continue to support in case of any requirements.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believe SBCPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoter, and established relationships with clients.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if ramp-up in scale of operations and stable profitability strengthen financial risk profile.  The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if decline in scale of operations or profitability or stretch in working capital cycle leads to lower than anticipated cash generation thus impacting the financial risk profile, esp. liquidity.
