BWR believes that Acetechpeb Systems Pvt. Ltd. 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, tangible net worth and profit show substantial improvement. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the revenues go down, financial risk profile deteriorate and profit margins show lower than expected figures.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
BWR has essentially relied upon the audited financial statements of Acetechpeb Systems Pvt. Ltd. of FY18,FY19,FY20 and projected financial statements of FY21,FY22, publicly available information and information / clarifications provided by the entity’s management.
The ratings draw strength from the vast business experience of the directors and moderate financial risk profile. However, the ratings are constrained by the scale of operations, Geographical concentration and Customer concentration risk, low tangible net worth and high competition from other established players in the market.
Credit Strengths:
Experienced management : The promoters, Mr. Mallikarjuna V. A, Mr. K. S Manikandan and Mr. Chandrashekar, have an experience of more than three decades in the industry, which has resulted in an established relationship with the customers and suppliers, thus ensuring repeated orders from the customers.
Moderate financial profile: The financial profile of the company was average, marked by low Total Debt /Tangible Net Worth of 1.07 times as on 31 March 2020. Further, DSCR and ISCR Were 1.30 times and 2.25 times, respectively in FY20. However, financial profile is constrained on account of low tangible net worth of Rs 3.92 Crs as on 31 March 2020.
Credit Risks:
Modest Scale of Operation: The revenue of the company has been modest in the past, marked by an average revenue of Rs 26.52 Crs in the last three years ended FY20. Further, ASPL has recorded revenue of ~ Rs 21.00 Crs in 11MFY21 and operating income in FY21 is expected to be lower than FY20 on account of prevailing COVID-19 pandemic situation. Though the revenue is expected to increase in FY22, it will remain modest.
Geographical concentration and Customer concentration risk: ASPL is exposed to geographical concentration risk as its business operation is confined to states of Tamil Nadu, A.P and Karnataka. It is also exposed to customer concentration risk as top 5 customers contributed 57% in sale in FY20.
Degree of Competition: The company is operating in an extensively competitive industry with the presence of many small to medium scale entities which are operating in the same line of business due to low entry barriers and less capital requirements. Further, there are many trading enterprises which are dealing in the same product making the industry more competitive
ANALYTICAL APPROACH AND APPLICABLE RATING CRITERIA
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 ability of the Company to increase its scale of operations, improve its profit margins and sustain its moderate financial risk profile would be key rating sensitivities.
Positive: The rating outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case the revenues, tangible net worth and profit show substantial improvement.
Negative: The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the revenues go down, financial risk profile deteriorate and profit margins show lower than expected figures.
LIQUIDITY POSITION
The company’s working capital position was moderate as reflected from its low conversion cycle of 26 days as on 31 March 2020 due to creditor days of 112 days. Higher creditor days was on account of procurement of raw materials through issuance of Letter of credit. However, its average working capital utilization was ~100% in the last five months ending Feb 2021 with many instances of over utilization in the Cash Credit limits. Net cash accrual marginally improved to Rs.0.77 Cr in FY20 from Rs.0.72 Cr in FY19. Current ratio was moderate at 1.14 times and cash and cash equivalent stood low at Rs0.75 Cr as on 31 March 2020.
