Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL A4+' rating on the short-term bank facility of Worldwide Oilfield Machine Private Limited (WOM)

 

The rating continues to reflect the extensive experience of the promoter in the control instruments segment, his longstanding relationships with customers and suppliers and the moderate scale of operations of WOM. These strengths are partially offset by the large working capital requirement and leveraged capital structure.

 

Operating performance and net profitability tend to be volatile owing to fluctuations in foreign exchange (forex) rates, as reflected in losses incurred in the past. Though cash accrual has improved during fiscals 2021 and 2022, sustenance is critical and hence, will be monitored. Also, though the company does not rely on external debt, it depends on its creditors, advances from group affiliates and internal accrual to manage its working capital cycle. Capital structure was leveraged, reflected in total outside liabilities to adjusted net-worth (TOL/ANW) ratio of 15-22 times over past three years ended fiscal 2022. Sharp improvement in capital structure remains to be seen

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Extensive experience of the promoter: The four-decade-long experience of the promoter in control instruments industry and his healthy relationships with customers and suppliers will continue to support the business. Being part of the Worldwide Oilfield group, the company gets support via extended credit on its purchases from sister concerns.

 

  •  Moderate scale of operations: Revenue has grown by 11.8% year-on-year to Rs 413.34 crore in fiscal 2022, aided by better order flow. Strong demand from the parent was driven by increase in sales to the end-user industry and incremental sales to new patented products. The company has reported sales of Rs 227 crore between April and July 2022 and is likely to report healthy growth in fiscal 2023, led by increase in demand for the new product.


Weaknesses:

  • Leveraged capital structure: Networth was modest at Rs 45.2 crore as on March 31, 2022, constrained by forex losses in the past. TOLANW ratio was high estimated at 18.04 times as on March 31, 2022, driven by significant payables, mainly from group affiliates. Nonetheless, there was no external debt.

 

  • Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets were sizeable at 430 days as on March 31, 2022, driven by large receivables and inventory of 244 and 100 days, respectively. The company purchases raw material and sells the products via group concerns. Working capital requirement is majorly funded through credit extended by group concerns for purchases, with no dependence on bank debt. Improvement in working capital cycle will have a bearing on the capital structure and shall remain a key monitorable.

Liquidity: Adequate

Cash accrual of over Rs 20 crore per fiscal will aid liquidity in the absence of debt. The working capital requirement is funded through internal accrual and support via extended credit from the group entities, thus ensuring the book remains debt-free. However, the company avails bank guarantee (BG)/letter of credit facility, which is currently 100% backed by fixed deposits. It also proposes to avail fund based working capital limit to fund the scale-up in business.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

  • Sustenance of improved operating performance, resulting in sizable cash accrual on a consistent basis
  • Enhancement in financial risk profile marked by improvement in TOLANW ratio (below 4 times)

 

Downward factors

  • Stretch in the working capital cycle or huge debt-funded capital expenditure straining liquidity
  • Dip in revenue or operating margin, leading to continuous losses and cash accrual of less than Rs 8 crore 

About the Company

WOM was incorporated in 1985, by the promoter, Mr Sudhir Puranik. He started manufacturing control instruments through Worldwide Oilfield Machine Inc, USA in 1980. His technical expertise has helped the company gain a competitive edge and get many of its products such as dual seal gate valves, patented.
