Brickwork Ratings has upgraded the long-term rating for BeeJay Industrial Corporation’s bank loan facilities of Rs. 55.72 crore to BWR BB-/Stable from BWR C and has removed the ratings from the 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category. The firm’s operations remained at a moderate level in FY 2024. The rating is primarily based on the audited financials for FY 2024, provisional financials for FY 2025 and information provided by the company and there bankers.
The rating outlook has been assigned as Stable, as BWR believes that BeeJay Industrial Corporation’s business risk profile will be maintained over the medium term. A Stable outlook indicates a low likelihood of a rating change in the near term. The outlook may be revised to Positive if revenue and profitability margins demonstrate sustained improvement, or to Negative if the company’s financial risk profile deteriorates.
KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
The company/Firm is located in Faridabad cluster and thus has a competitive advantage in terms of skilled labor, logistics, production knowledge and vendors making the company more efficient and cost effective.
The company is in existence for 29 years and has seen multiple business cycles.
The company`s revenue from operations has grown reasonably by 11.48 % in the FY 24
Withdrawal of capital by the proprietor/Partners for any personal contingency would adversely affect the capital structure of the firm.Limitations of Proprietorship constitution in terms of capital and management
Entry barriers in the industry are low on account of limited regulatory and technology requirement and also low differentiation in the end product leading to intense competition and limiting the pricing power resulting in low profitability.
For arriving at its ratings, Brickwork Ratings has taken a Standalone approach as detailed in the Rating criteria below(hyperlinks provided at the end of this rationale).
RATING SENSITIVITIES
