The ratings of Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd (GVHL) are downgraded to BWR BB+/A4+(Stable).
The rating downgrade is on account of continuation of subdued financial performance of the Company in Q1FY22 and losses at operating level as the COVID-19 scenarios continues to be a concern which has impacted the business of GVHL. KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
The promoters and the management of the Company have more than two decades of experience in operating helicopter leasing services business. GVHL has established healthy business relationships with customers which result in repeat business for them.
Due to losses incurred in FY21, the TNW of the company decreased to Rs.113.81 Crs as on March 31, 2021 as against Rs.145.10 Crs as on March 31, 2020. Total Gearing of the Company has remained comfortable at 0.46x as on March 31, 2021 as against 0.50x as on March 31,2020.
GVHL has an established relationship with customers. The Company has long term contracts of 3-5 years with reputed clients like ONGC, Cairn India Ltd. and some state governments which reduces counter-party risk for the company. Contracts with some of the customers are due to expire in CY21 and the timely renewal of the same at assumed rates would be a key rating monitorable.
Credit Risks:
GVHL receives nearly 60% of its revenue from ONGC which exposes its business to customer concentration risk. The revenue of GVHL has declined significantly in FY21 and Q1FY22, due to COVID outbreak, as ONGC had reduced its offshore employee trips by increasing shift times, in order to reduce frequency of exposure cycles to pandemic.
The adjusted (adj.) revenue of GVHL for FY21 has decreased to Rs.333.74 Crs as against Rs.489.66 Crs in FY20. However, the company has high fixed expenses towards helicopter maintenance and lease & employee expenses resulting in the Company reporting an adj. operating loss of Rs.19.80 Crs in FY21 as against adj. operating profit of Rs.42.19 Crs in FY20. Further, the adj. TOI for Q1FY22 also remained low at Rs.88.40 Crs and incurred an adj. operating loss of Rs.5.61 Crs and adj. net loss of Rs.7.60 Crs. Due to this, the ISCR of the Company is in negative for FY21 and Q1FY22. Further, in FY22 the Company has principal debt repayment of around Rs.19 Crs and the adj. Gross Cash Accruals for Q1FY22 were low at Rs.1.05 Crs hence DSCR for FY22 is also expected remain below 1 in FY22 as against 0.86x in FY21.
BWR has principally relied upon audited results upto FY21, Q1FY22 unaudited financials.
The Company has adopted the IND AS116 for operating leases from FY20. However, for the analytical approach the financials are adjusted as per IND AS17.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Positive: If the Company manages to improve its revenue, profitability, debt coverage indicators and efficiently manage its working capital, it could result in a positive rating action.
Negative: Further deterioration in scale of operation, key financial metrics and increase in losses would be negative for ratings.
LIQUIDITY INDICATORS - Adequate
The liquidity position of the Company is adequate as its adjusted current ratio stood at 1.55x as on March 31, 2021 and the Company had cash & bank balance of Rs.10.59 Crs as on March 31, 2021. Further the CC utiliisation for last 6 months stood moderate at 64%..
