BWR has essentially relied on Audited financials up to FY20, provisional financial numbers of FY21 (CA certified financial numbers), projected financials, publicly available information, and information & clarifications provided by management.
The rating draws comfort from an established track records and experienced promoters with long-standing established relationships with clients. However, the rating is constrained by a below-average financial risk profile and modest scale of operation.
BWR believes that Atlantis Agritech Pvt. Ltd.'s 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 the revenues go down and profit margins show lower than expected figures.
KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
The promoter's extensive industry experience is reflected in the company's healthy growth backed by maintaining its healthy scale of operations. The promoters of the company are Mr. Rasiklal Madhavji Sureja, Mr. Natvarlal Madhavji Sureja, and Mr.Yatin Mansukhlal Sureja who have the technical expertise and almost two decades of experience in the Agritech industry.
The ISCR stood at 9.07 times and DSCR at 5.03 times in FY19-20. The tangible net worth of the company showed substantial improvement from Rs 1 crs in FY18-19 to Rs 11 crs in FY19-20 (FY20-21 provisional numbers TNW-22.54 crs) marked by a moderate gearing ratio of 1.79 times in FY19-20 which remained moderate to 1.32 times in FY20-21(Provisional numbers).
BWR believes Atlantis Agritech's business risk profile will remain susceptible to the inherent risks associated with the agricultural industry as the Indian farming equipment industry is affected by multiple factors, such as monsoon, crop prices, and availability of finance.
The company faces stiff competition from large established players in the industry due to its small scale of operation. The elongated cycle is majorly attributable to a moderate inventory holding period of 107 days in FY19-20. BWR believes operations of the company will remain working capital intensive.
For arriving at its ratings, BWR has considered the standalone performance of Atlantis Agritech. While assigning the ratings, BWR has applied its rating methodology as detailed in the Rating Criteria (hyperlinks provided at the end of this rationale).
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Positive:
Negative:
Company net cash accruals of Rs 9.12 crs are efficient against a current portion of long-term debt which is Rs 0.68 crs in FY19-20. Current ratio of the company is 1.34 times in FY19-20 which showed substantial improvement in FY20-21(CA certified provisional financial numbers) as 3.81 times. The average CC utilization is ~85%. Atlantis Agritech healthy networth and controlled gearing provide financial flexibility to raise funds when needed and the absence of any large capex shall ensure that liquidity remains adequate. Timely infusion of USL of Rs 6 crs in FY19-20 and Rs 10 crs in FY20-21(provisional numbers) will provide additional cushion to liquidity.
