RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK

Due to inadequate information and in line with the Securities and Exchange Board of India guidelines, BWR had migrated its rating on the bank facilities of Aarvee Denim and Exports Ltd (ADEL) to 'BWR B+/Stable/BWR A4 Issuer Not Cooperating'. However, the company's management has started sharing the information necessary for a comprehensive review of the rating. Consequently, BWR is migrating the rating from 'BWR B+/Stable/BWR A4 Issuer Not Cooperating' to 'BWR B+/Stable/BWR A4'.

Outlook~ Stable

BWR believes the ADEL’s business risk profile will be moderate over the medium term. The ‘Stable’ outlook indicates a low likelihood of rating change over the medium term. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the revenues declines and profit margins show lower than expected figures. The outlook may be revised to positive if there is deterioration in financial risk profile or further weakening of liquidity profile. 

KEY RATING DRIVERS


Credit Strengths:


Credit Risks:

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Positive: 

  1. Improvement in liquidity profile, net cash accruals vs debt repayment obligation to be above 1 time
  2. Improvement in interest coverage and gearing ratio

Negative: 

  1. Any further deterioration in operating performance weakening its liquidity profile
  2. Deterioration in current ratio to below 1 time.

LIQUIDITY INDICATORS - Poor

The liquidity profile is poor as reflected in its negative cash accruals in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021. In Q1FY22, the net cash accruals remained negative at 5.2 crores. Repayment obligations are met through the cash proceeds from sale of windmill and promoters fund support. The company has sold its 9 windmills out of 14 windmills, the proceeds were used to shred its debt portion by Rs 77.6 crores. The current ratio is average at 1.2 times as on March 31, 2021. Going forward, BWR estimated liquidity profile to improve gradually with improvement in its scale of operations and operating profitability.
