Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has revised its rating outlook on the long term bank facilities of Surbhi Textile Mills Private Limited (STMPL) to 'Negative' from 'Stable' while reaffirming the rating at 'CRISIL BBB-'. The short term rating has been reaffirmed at 'CRISIL A3'
 
Revision in outlook reflects expected weakening in the business risk profile of the company over the medium term amidst lockdown and other measures taken by various central and state governments towards containment of COVID-19; consequential weak demand and expected slowdown in the textile industry. The company has been able to record revenues of only Rs.19 crore till October 31, 2020 as against a revenue of more than Rs 28 crore during the similar period in fiscal 2020. While the manufacturing operations of the group have resumed since June 2020, revenue and profits in fiscal 2021 are likely to be much lower than previous expectations resulting in lower than expected net cash accruals. Company had undertaken debt funded capex over the past fiscals and thus has sizeable repayment obligations to be serviced over the near to medium term. Revival in demand and ramp up in scale of operations with significant improvement in revenue coupled with moderation in debtors' levels, will remain a key rating sensitivity factor.

The ratings reflect the extensive experience of the promoters and the company's above average financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by the large working capital requirement and susceptibility of operating margin to volatility in raw material prices.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loans extended by the promoters have been treated as neither debt nor equity. This is because the loans are expected to remain in the business over the medium term.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths: 
* Extensive experience of promoters: The promoters have been in the textile business for over 3 decades, which has helped them gain sound understanding of market dynamics and establish healthy relationships with both customers and suppliers. CRISIL believes the extensive industry experience of the promoters will continue to benefit the company's business risk profile over the medium term. The company also operates three windmills in Gujarat for captive use and two windmills in Maharashtra.
 
* Above average financial risk profile: Financial risk profile remains above average marked by healthy networth  of Rs 43 Crore as on March 31, 2020 and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio of 0.75 times as on March 31, 2020. Debt protection metrics remain comfortable, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios of 4.04 times and 0.38 time, respectively, in fiscal 2020. Financial risk profile expected to remain above average over the medium term.
 
Weaknesses:
* Large working capital requirements: Operations are working capital intensive as indicated by gross current assets (GCAs) of 119 days as on March 31, 2020, largely driven by receivables and inventory of 91 and 23 days, respectively for the same period. GCAs are expected to remain at similar levels over the medium term.
 
* Susceptibility of operating margin to volatility in raw material prices: Raw materials are crude oil derivatives and their prices are linked with international crude oil prices which are volatile. Hence, profitability of the company is susceptible to volatility in raw material prices. The risk is mitigated by the company's low inventory as well as majority of the revenues coming from job work where the material is being provided by the customer.
Liquidity Adequate

Company has adequate liquidity driven by expected cash accruals of around Rs 7-11 crore in fiscal 2021 and 2022 respectively against repayment obligation of approx. Rs 4.70 crore in fiscal 2021 and Rs 8.16 Crore in fiscal 2022. It also has unencumbered cash and cash equivalent of Rs 3.95 crore as on March 31, 2020. Current ratio was moderate at 1.61 times as on March 31, 2020. Company also has access to fund based limit of Rs 8 crore, utilised at an average of approximately 59% for 12 months ended September 2020. Company has no debt funded capex plans over the medium term. CRISIL expects internal accruals and cash and cash equivalent to be sufficient to meet capex and incremental working capital requirements.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes STMPL business risk profile is expected to remain under pressure with expected decline in revenues on the back of weak demand and slowdown in textile industry.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factors
* Significant improvement in revenue along with sustenance of operating margins above 25%
* Sustenance of financial risk profile at current levels
 
Downward factors
* Decline in revenue or operating margins resulting in net cash accruals below Rs 6 Crore in fiscal 2021
* Significant stretch in working capital cycle, large debt funded capex or dividend pay-out leading to deterioration in the financial risk profile.
