Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BBB-/Stable/CRISIL A3' ratings on the bank facilities of Valson Industries Limited (VIL).
 
The ratings continue to reflect the company's continued healthy financial risk profile backed by moderate networth, low gearing, and robust debt protection metrics, and its efficient working capital cycle. The ratings also factor in the experience of the promoters in the textile industry with their established business relationships. These strengths are partially offset by modest scale of operations and the highly competitive industry.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive experience of the promoters in the textile industry: The Company has been in the textile industry for 30 years. The promoters have longstanding relationships with customers and suppliers, leading to stable, albeit modest, revenue of Rs 100 crore in fiscal 2017, expected to be sustained over the medium term. Due to the established position and reliability as a quality supplier, the company has been able to transfer raw material price fluctuation to its customers, leading to stable operating margins between 5.9% - 6.3% over the past four years ended in fiscal 2017. Profitability is expected to remain stable over medium term.
 
* Healthy financial risk profile: Capital structure and debt protection metrics are expected to remain healthy over the medium term, in the absence of any firm capital expenditure (capex) plan. As on March 31, 2017, networth was moderate at Rs 29.2 crore (Rs 26.7 crore a year earlier), and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth was low at 0.56 time. However, capacity utilisation is high and any large capex over the medium term and its funding will be rating sensitivity factors. Interest coverage is expected to remain healthy above 8 times driven by healthy cash accrual. Working capital is efficiently managed, as reflected in gross current assets of 53 days as on March 31, 2017, and expected at a similar level over the medium term.
 
Weakness
* Modest scale of operations in highly competitive industry: Revenue, at Rs 100 crore in fiscal 2017, is constrained by capacity availability, and is expected to remain modest over the medium term. The products are well accepted in the market and VIL has established itself as a reliable supplier. However, there is limited differentiation between products of different players. Also, the company faces competition from large integrated players.
Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes VIL will continue to benefit from the industry experience of its promoters and its established relationships in the industry. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if there is a substantial and sustained increase in revenue and profitability. The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if profitability declines steeply, or if capital structure weakens considerably on account of stretched working capital cycle or large, debt-funded capex.

About the Company
