Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings on the bank facilities of Todi Rayons Pvt Ltd (TRPL; part of the Salasar group) continue to reflect the extensive experience of the promoters in the manufacture of nylon yarn, an established relationship with customers and suppliers, moderate working capital cycle and an above average financial risk profile. These rating strengths are partially offset by exposure to volatility in input prices and foreign exchange (forex) rates, government regulations, and exposure to intense competition and supplier concentration.

 

CRISIL Ratings had upgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of TRPL to CRISIL BBB/Stable/CRISIL A3+ from ‘CRISIL BBB-/Positive/CRISIL A3’ on June 30, 2022.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of SPPL and Todi Rayons Pvt Ltd (TRPL). Both the companies, collectively referred to as the Salasar group, operate in similar businesses, have a common management team, and have significant operational linkages.

 

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:

  • Established position in the nylon yarn business: The group benefits from its promoters' experience of over two decades in the textile industry, their understanding of the dynamics of the local market, and their established relationship with suppliers and customers. The promoters have been associated with key customers for over 10 years, leading to repeat orders. Revenue had been increasing continuously over the four fiscals through fiscal 2022 backed by enhanced capacities. Further, a diversified end-user industry base in apparels such as sarees, kids wear, sports and active wear and in furnishings/ industrial applications such as curtains, bedspreads etc. allows the group to maintain its business risk profile in case of a decline in demand in any single segment.

 

  • Above average financial risk profile: The group has a net worth of around Rs. 83.70 crores and gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) at 1.02 time and 1.78 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2022. The debt protection metrics are comfortable with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt (NCATD) ratios at 4.86 times and 0.26 time, respectively, for fiscal 2022. The financial risk profile is expected to remain at similar levels over medium term.

 

  • Moderate working capital cycle: Gross current assets (GCA) were moderate at 103 days as on March 31, 2022. The group maintains inventory of 50-80 days (consisting of raw material and finished goods). It has receivables of 15-25 days and receives credit of 30-50 days from suppliers. The working capital cycle of the group is expected to remain at same levels over the medium term.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Susceptibility to volatility in input prices and forex rates, and to government regulations: Volatility in nylon chip (key raw material) prices can impact profitability. With high imports of raw material and no specific hedging policy, the group is also exposed to forex rate fluctuations. Also, earnings and the operating profitability margin depend upon government regulations such as anti-dumping duties on nylon yarn. Hence, operating margin has ranged between 7-13% in past four fiscals.

 

  • Exposure to supplier concentration risk and intense competition: The Salasar group sources nylon from Taiwan-based companies Leng Pe Co Ltd and Zig Sheng Industrial Co Ltd, which account for 90-95% of total procurement. The group has established relationships with both the suppliers. However, risks related to supplier concentration prevail, given the group's limited price negotiation capability due to its average scale. Moreover, the textile industry is largely unorganised, intensely competitive, and fragmented because of a low entry barrier.  Players are exposed to intense competition and have limited pricing flexibility, which constrains their profitability.

Liquidity: Adequate

Cash accrual is expected to remain  Rs 23-30 crores per fiscal, against term debt obligation of Rs 13- 18 crore over the medium term. Bank limit utilization was low at an average of around 34% during the 12 months through February 2022. The promoters have extended unsecured loans (Rs 4.63 crore as on March 31, 2022). The cash and bank balance stood at Rs 12 crore as on March 31, 2022. Cash accrual, unutilized bank lines, fund support from the promoters, and the cash and bank balance should be sufficient to meet working capital requirement and repayment obligation over the medium term.

Outlook Stable

The Salasar group should continue to benefit from the extensive industry experience of the promoters

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

* Sustained improvement in scale of operation and sustenance of operating margin, leading to cash accruals above Rs 35 Crore

* Sustenance in financial risk profile and working capital cycle

 

Downward factors

* A decline in scale of operations leading to fall in revenue and profitability margin below 5%, hence leading to lower net cash accrual

* Sizeable stretch in working capital cycle, or large debt funded capex, leading to impact on liquidity
