**Details of Bank Loan facilities,consolidation or instruments are provided in Annexure RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK
Brickwork Ratings has relied upon the Audited Financial statements of the company for FY23, Projections for FY24 & FY25, as well as information / clarifications provided by the company's management and its bankers, to carry out the rating exercise.
BWR has assigned the rating for the long-term bank loan facilities of Mangalam Worldwide Ltd of "BWR BBB/ Stable" and the rating for their short term bank loan facilities of "BWR A3" for an amount aggregating to Rs.140 crores. The current rating factors in the experienced & competent management and established relationships with suppliers and customers, diversified revenue profile, positive demand outlook for the steel industry and revenue growth.
The rating is however constrained by revenue and profitability remain vulnerable to volatility in prices of raw materials due to cyclicality associated with steel industry and business concentration risk.
The outlook has been retained at "Stable" as BWR believes that the business risk profile of Mangalam Worldwide Ltd will be maintained over the medium term, and thus the Stable outlook indicates a low likelihood of a rating change over the medium term. The rating outlook may be revised to "Positive" in case of substantial growth in revenue and EBITDA, or to "Negative" if there is any decline in cash accruals or stretch in working capital or business concentration risk.
KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
-
Experienced & competent management and established relationships with suppliers and customers :
The company is promoted by Ahmedabad-based Mangalam Group. The business operations of Mangalam Group are headed by Mr. Vipin Prakash Mangal, aged 56 years having vast Business experience of more than 3 decades. The next generation i.e. his elder son Mr. Chanakya Prakash Mangal, aged 28 years and younger son Mr. Chandragupt Prakash Mangal aged 26 years have joined the business as directors, who are managing the company under able guidance of Mr. Vipin Prakash Mangal. Apart from this, the company has a management team of qualified and experienced professionals adding value to the organization through their expertise. Benefits from the three-decade-long experience of the key promoter, his keen insights into industry dynamics, and healthy relationships with customers, suppliers and dealers, distributors and stockists, should continue to support the business risk profile.
-
Positive demand outlook for the steel industry :
The domestic steel prices have increased significantly from H2FY21 onwards and are currently at an all-time high, driven by the spurt in global steel prices. BWR believes that the significant improvement in steel demand and realizations will result in considerable growth in the company’s revenue, profits and cash accrual in the current fiscal.
-
Revenue growth :
The operating income has increased to Rs.644.48 crores in FY23 as compared to Rs.523.05 crores in FY22. The increase in revenue was mainly from product SS Billets. The Company is into manufacturing Stainless Steel (billets) of all the grades i.e., 200, 304, 316 and 400 etc. Earlier, the Company was majorly doing production of 200 grade billets and then processing it into flat bars. The Company was manufacturing 304, 316 and 400 grade on job work basis as it requires huge working capital for own production.
With the sanction of working capital limits, the Company started its own production of these higher grades as the profit margins are also high in these grades. With these, the Company has focused more on its own full-fledged production of 300 series billets and 400 series billets and thus, there is an increase in sales of billets in FY 2022-23 as compared to FY 2021-22.
-
Revenue and profitability remain vulnerable to volatility in prices of raw material due to cyclicality associated with steel industry :
The steel industry is marked by low product differentiation and limited value addition. The commoditized nature of the products renders the company vulnerable to volatility in raw material prices. Besides, production costs and profit margins extensively depend on raw material prices, as raw material costs constitute above 85% of net sales.
-
Business concentration risk :
The 40.57% of revenue is generated from only two customers which indicates a business concentration risk. This can be mitigated if the company dilute the percentage of the concentration by increasing sales to other customers or entering new markets.
BWR considers standalone financials of Mangalam Worldwide Ltd. The reason for considering the standalone financials is that the other group entity has a negligible business.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Positive: BWR may revise the ratings upward if the company’s scale of operations and profitability improve on a sustained basis.
- Substantial growth in revenue and EBITDA margin
- Improvement in the overall financial risk profile
Negative: BWR may revise the ratings downwards if there is a deterioration in the company's revenue, profitability, and liquidity.
- Decline in cash accruals or stretch in working capital
- Business concentration risk
