Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has revised its outlook on the long term bank facilities of Vivid Global Industries Limited (VGIL) to 'Positive' from 'Stable' while reaffirming its ratings at CRISIL BB+/CRISIL A4+

Revision in outlook reflects expected improvement in business risk profile of the company supported by an above average revenue growth and improvement in profitability. Financial risk profile of the company is also expected to improve supported by expected improvement in accruals and modest debt funded capital expenditure (capex) plans.

The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of VGIL's promoters in the chemicals industry and above-average financial risk profile marked by moderate TOL/ANW ratio and comfortable debt protection metrics. The rating also reflect improvement in business risk profile as reflected in growth in revenues and improvement in profitability. These strengths are partially offset by large working capital requirement and modest scale of operations.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive experience of promoters: Longstanding presence in the dye intermediaries segment has enabled the promoters to establish strong relationship with customers and suppliers.

* Above-average financial risk profile: Despite working capital-intensive nature operations, TOL/ANW ratio remains moderate at 2.23 times as on March 31, 2018. Debt protection metrics were comfortable, with interest coverage and NCATD ratios of 9 times and 1.58 times, respectively, for fiscal 2018. Financial risk profile is expected to further improve, supported by expected improvement in accruals and modest debt funded capex plans

Weaknesses
* Working capital-intensive operations: Gross current assets were 164 days as on March 31, 2018, due to moderate level of receivables and inventory. Inventory holding as on 31st march 2018 is high at around 60 days compared with 40 days at the end of fiscal 2017. The company is holding higher raw material inventory to protect itself from the price hikes and any shortage in supply in future. Operations are expected to continue to be working capital intensive with GCA of around 150-160 days

* Modest scale of operations: With sales of around Rs 48 crore in fiscal 2018, scale remains small. Scale of operations are expected to grow in double digits over the medium term, however will remain modest.
Outlook: Positive

CRISIL believes VGIL's business risk profile is expected to improve backed by growth in revenues and improvement in profitability. The favourable market condition are expected to continue over medium term, supporting growth in revenue and profitability. The rating may be upgraded in case of significant increase in revenue and profitability and if working capital cycle improves leading to improvement in financial risk profile. The outlook may be revised to 'Stable' if growth in revenue and profitability remain average or deterioration in working capital management or debt funded capex puts pressure on liquidity and financial risk profile.
