The reaffirmation in the ratings for the bank loan facilities of JMW India Pvt. Ltd. (JIPL or the company) favorably factors in the significant growth in the topline of the company as a result of the expansion in its product lines. The company created additional capacities for manufacturing of copper wire rods from copper scrap which fuelled the growth of ~9% in the revenues in FY20 and ~24% in FY21 (Prov.). Besides improvement in revenues, the company has registered improvements in its debt coverage ratios. The ratings also derive comfort from diversified product lines and long experience of its promoters in the industry. There are slight improvements also visible in the margins, although the profitability continues to remain low. Although the company operates on a lean inventory, the volatility in the prices of copper may impact its profit margins to some extent, moving forward.
KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
Healthy revenue growth seen in the past two years with topline growing at ~9% in FY20 & ~24% in FY21 (Prov.) due to higher quantity sold of various products after operational of increased capacity of copper rod, copper wire, copper strips etc. in FY19.
The company has comfortable and improving debt coverage metrics. ISCR and DSCR improved to 3.98x and 3.12x for FY21 as compared to 2.00x and 1.79x respectively for FY20.
The company manufactures a variety of copper based products such as wire rods, Copper Strips, Paper covered copper strips/wire, bus bar etc and caters to manufacturers of transformer, electrical panel & electrical motors, cable manufacturers etc.
The company’s cash conversion cycle stood comfortable at 34 days for FY21. The company operates on lean inventory of 30 days & low debtor days of 20, hence a large portion of the working capital requirement is met through internal accruals only and hence the reliance on external debt is low.
The promoter, Mr Manoj Garg, has a long experience of around 15 years in trading of copper manufactured products which has helped him in establishing business relationships with reputed companies such as Havells, C&S, HPL, Legrand, Sudhir, Gindre, Power Grid, BHEL, BSNL, Indian Oil, L&T, Vijai Electricals etc. as the company turned to manufacturing from FY17 onward.
The operating profit margin & net profit margin of the company stood at 2.41% & 1.23% in FY21 (Prov.), although marginally improving from previous year levels despite a significant growth in revenues. The raw material consumption to operating income stood high at 95% in FY21 depicting low value additivity. However, the company has aggressively priced its products to successfully penetrate the market.
The prices of copper are volatile as the demand is cyclical in nature. Although the company operates on a lean inventory and uses copper scrap as its raw material, the fact that the company does not have long term offtake contracts may result in shrinking margins in the downturn.
The capital structure of the company stood moderate marked by gearing of 1.05x for FY21 (PY: 0.99x). The same, however, marginally deteriorated due to additional term loan (GECL) taken as well as higher utilisation of working capital limits.
