RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK

BWR reaffirms the rating as BWR BB+/A4+Stable of Aman Exports International.

The rating draws strength from Experienced Partners and long operational track record and a moderate financial risk profile. However, the rating is constrained by High Competition, Forex Fluctuation and Poor current ratio, and elongated working capital cycle.

BWR believes that Aman Exports International business risk profile will be maintained 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 'Positive' in case the revenues and profit show sustained improvement. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is a deterioration in the financial risk profile.
