Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+' ratings on the bank facilities of Specialty Polyfilms India Private Limited (SPPL).
 
The ratings continue to reflect extensive experience of the promoters and moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by a modest scale of operations and working capital intensive nature of operations.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans amounting to Rs. 1.83 crore as on March 31st, 2020 are treated as neither debt nor equity as the same is expected to remain in the business over the medium term.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths: 
* Extensive experience of the promoters in flexible packaging industry: Over a decade long experience of the promoters in the flexible packaging industry, and their longstanding relationships with customers and suppliers, have helped the company successfully navigate business cycles over the years. The company has established healthy relationship with established customers Benefits from the extensive industry experience of the partners would continue over the medium term.
 
* Moderate financial risk profile: Moderate net worth and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOL/ANW) (Rs 17.26 crore and 1.5 time as on March 31, 2020) along with comfortable interest coverage ratio estimated at 4.84 times and net cash accruals to adjusted debt ratio (NCA/AD) ratio at 0.15 time for fiscal 2020 represents moderate financial risk profile.
 
Weakness:
* Modest scale of operations: SPPL's scale of operations continues to modest, with operating income of Rs. 45.07 crore for fiscal 2020. The same has remained in the range of Rs 41-48 Crore for the past four fiscals ending 2020. SPPL operates in a fragmented market where it competes with several small and unorganized player. However, introduction of enviromental friendly packaging products and market penetration strategies should help SPPL scale its operations over the medium term.
 
* Working capital intensive nature of operations: Operations are working capital intensive, as reflected in gross current asset (GCA) of 133 days as on March 31, 2020 which emanates from receivable cycle of 43 days and inventory of 83 days as on 31st March 2020. GCAs are expected to remain in the similar range over the medium term.
Liquidity Stretched

SPPL has stretched liquidity driven by moderate expected cash accruals in the range of Rs.2.80-3.50 crore per annum in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 as against expected repayment obligations of approx. 1.82 crore in fiscal 2021. SPPL also has access to fund based limits of Rs. 11 crore which are utilized to the tune of 82% on an average over the 12 months ended September 2020. Cash and cash equivalents stood at approx. Rs.0.10 crore as on March 31, 2020 along with current ratio at 1.00 time. Company does not have any debt funded capex plans over the medium term. CRISIL expects internal accruals and cash & cash equivalents to be sufficient to meet its incremental working capital requirements and part finance its planned capex.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes SPPL's credit risk profile will remain stable supported by its extensive industry experience and its established customer and supplier relationships.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factors
* Improvement in revenues and operating margins leading to net cash accruals sustaining above Rs 3.50 Crore
* Improvement in financial risk profile especially TOLANW ratio
 
Downward factors
* Decline in net cash accruals below Rs 2.00 Crore
* Large debt funded capital expenditure, stretch in working capital cycle or large dividend payout weakening the financial risk profile.
