Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its ‘CRISIL BB+/Stable/CRISIL A4+ratings to the bank facilities of The Acetech Machinery Components India Pvt Ltd (TAMCIPL).

 

The rating reflects the experience of the promoters, above average financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by working capital intensity in operations and customer concentration in revenue.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:
Promoters’ extensive experience and established relationship with suppliers and customers:

The promoters have over two decades of experience in the component manufacturing industry and diversified business interests have led to established relationships with customers and suppliers.  The company has maintained long relationships with key customer Caterpillar India Private Limited, the company has been receiving steady orders. These relationship with customers and suppliers should continue to support business risk profile.

 

Above-average financial risk profile:

Financial risk profile is above average backed by comfortable capital structure and debt protection metrics. Gearing is comfortable at 0.80 time as on 21 Mar 2021 and is expected to remain comfortable over the medium term.  Debt protection metrics are adequate as reflected in interest coverage of 4.49 times and net cash accrual to adjusted debt of 0.22 time in fiscal 2021. Absence of any debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) plans should support the financial risk profile in the medium term.

 

Weaknesses:

Working capital intensity in operations:

Operations are working capital intensive, as reflected in gross current assets of around 303 days as on March 31, 2021; primarily due to receivables which stood at 192 days on the same date. Working capital requirements are expected to remain high over the medium term due to high receivables.

 

Exposure to customer concentration in revenue: 

The top customer contributes around 70-80% of the total revenue, thus making the company vulnerable to customer concentration risk and policies of key customer. Any impact in the end-user industry can adversely impact the company’s revenue. However, measures to be taken to diversify the end-user base and draft contracts strategically should minimize the impact.

Liquidity: Adequate

Net cash accrual, likely to be around Rs. 7-8 crore per fiscal over the medium term, is adequate to meet debt obligations of Rs 0.30 crore per annum and there is no significant planned capital expenditure. Bank limit utilization averaged 80% during 12 months through Sep 2021. Surplus accruals and unutilized bank lines should adequately fund working capital requirements over the medium term.

Outlook Stable

CRISIL Ratings believe TAMCIPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoter, and established relationships with clients

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factor

  • Improvement in working capital cycle, with gross current assets improve to 200 days
  • Significant reduction in customer concentration while improving revenue over the medium term
  • Growth in revenue and steady operating margin, leading to higher cash accrual

 

Downward factor

  • Further deterioration in working capital management.
  • Cash accrual of below Rs 4 crore or lower-than-expected business performance or operating margins
  • Large debt-funded capital expenditure weakens capital structure

About the Company

TAMCIPL, incorporated in 2006, is based in Coimbatore engaged in equipment manufacturing for several industries such as earth moving, construction, railways, energy, healthcare, textile, food processing and heavy fabrication etc.
