Brickwork Ratings downgrades Patodia's long-term ratings to BWR BBB-/ Stable and affirms the short-term ratings of A3 for the Rs. 97.98 Crore Bank Loan Facilities of Patodia Filaments Private Limited and simultaneously withdraws them. BWR has essentially relied upon the audited financial statements of Patodia Filaments Private Limited up to FY23, and key nos. for 6MFY24, provided by the company’s management.
The Company requested to withdraw the rating via a request letter dated 30th October 2023 along with No Objection Certificate issued by State Bank of India, Karur Vysa Bank, and Canara Bank dated 5th October 23, 6th October 23 and 6th October 23 respectively. The Company submitted the FY23 financials and audit report and 1HFY24 key topline and bottom line numbers along with NDS as additional information but did not provide operational information related to the current fiscal FY24, bank statements, etc.
The company reported a total operating income of Rs. 432.65 Crores in FY23 (FY22: Rs. 309.00 Crores) with an operating profit margin of 11.07% (FY22: 14.92%) and a net profit margin of 4.94% (FY22 8.06%). Overall the financial risk profile remains comfortable with a net worth of Rs 170.32 crores as of 31st March 2023. Capital structure was also healthy for the company with the total debt-equity ratio standing at 0.58x as it had limited dependence on external debt. Further, debt protection measures were adequate with an interest coverage ratio to the tune of 4.13x and a net cash accrual to total debt ratio at 0.30x, during FY23. whereas, TOL/ TNW has also stood satisfactory at 0.69x during FY23. Moreover, provisionally during 1HFY24, the company reported a total operating income of Rs. 249.43 Crs and PAT of Rs. 16.38 Crs.
The rating factors in strength from the long track record of operations with experienced promoters, diversified customer base, and moderate financial risk profile of the Company. The rating continues to remain constrained on account of the working capital-intensive nature of operations.
To arrive at its ratings, BWR has assessed the standalone financials of Patodia Filaments Pvt. Ltd. and has applied its rating methodology as detailed in the Rating Criteria. The Company does not have any subsidiaries.
Key Financial Indicators: Standalone.
