BWR has considered the standalone financials of the Company and essentially relied upon the audited financial statements up to FY19 & FY20. Management certified provisional financials of FY21, Projected financials up to FY22, and publicly available information and clarifications provided by the entity’s management. The rating takes comfort from the vast experience of the promoters who have been in the line of textile machinery manufacturers for more than five decades. The downgrade factors in the decline in the operation and profits, deteriorating financial risk profile, and stretched liquidity position. The rating is also constrained by a highly fragmented and competitive industry and the working capital-intensive nature of the business. Going further, it is expected that the adverse impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the operations may put pressure on the liquidity, and working capital management of the Company. The ‘Stable’ outlook indicates a low likelihood of rating change over the medium term. BWR expects that DEEPL’s business risk profile will be maintained over the medium term.
KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
The Company is being managed by Dhall and Chopra Families who are involved in the line of business for the last five decades, and it benefits from the promoters’ extensive experience in the industry and understanding of the industry dynamics.
The Company has a track record of five decades having commenced its operations in 1971. This has helped it to establish healthy relationships with reputed customers leading to repeat orders. The Company sells textile machinery and related parts in the domestic market as well as internationally through a group firm M/s Dhall Exports.
The Company’s performance has declined during FY19 and FY20 due to a slow down in the textile industry. Revenue declined by ~30% in FY19 and 35% in FY20 and as per management certified provisional financials of FY21, the revenue had further declined to Rs. 37.00 crs. Profit After Tax declined to Rs. 0.71 crs in FY20 as against Rs. 1.08 crs in FY19. The financial risk profile is moderate with a low net worth of Rs. 9.46 Crs and relatively high gearing of 2.74x and TOL/TNW is 4.84x in FY20. The promoters have supported the Company through interest-bearing USLs, which, however, carries the risk of withdrawal. Debt protection metrics are moderate due to thin profit margins i.e ISCR at 1.22x and DSCR at 1.39x in FY20. Going further, the ability of the Company for operational stability, achievement of projected turnover, and any relief measures given by the RBI will be key monitorable.
The operations of the Company continue to be working capital intensive as reflected by a stretched working capital cycle of 303 days in FY21 (Prov) as against 271 days in FY20.
FY21 revenue for the company was impacted due to the lockdown imposed to contain the spread of Covid-19 and the resultant disruption in the supply chain management. Around 50% of the revenue is being generated from export orders hence, it carries 2 the risk of forex fluctuation and the economic condition of other countries. Business is highly dependent on the textile industry performance which is likely to remain weak in the coming months. This is likely to have an impact on the future cash flows of the Company and also impact the debt protection metrics.
For arriving at its ratings, BWR has applied its rating methodology as detailed in the Rating Criteria detailed below (hyperlinks provided at the end of this rationale).
RATING SENSITIVITIES
The Company's ability to get new orders, successfully mitigate the risk associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and ramp up the sales and profitability shall be key rating sensitivities
Positive: Efficient management of working capital cycle, infusion of additional funds by promoters, and improving the profit margins will be key positive sensitivities.
Negative: Downward pressure on sales and an increase in debt and inventory levels coupled with an inability to achieve the projected sales and profits, withdrawal of promoters unsecured loans are key negative sensitivities.
LIQUIDITY INDICATORS - Stretched
Liquidity is stretched marked by high utilization of cc limit (above 85%) and elongated conversion cycle for local orders. Though the company has FDR with banks, Moratorium benefits of 6 months and cent emergency line of credit, which will support the liquidity profile of the Company.
