BWR believes that Jagdish Agri Export 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 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 DRIVERS
BWR has essentially relied upon the audited financial statements of Jagdish Agri Export Pvt. Ltd. of FY18,FY19,FY20, provisional FY21 and projected financial statements of FY22,FY23, publicly available information and information / clarifications provided by the company’s management.
The rating draws strength from the vast business experience of the directors, established track of operations with improving profit margins & improving interest coverage metrics. The rating draws further strength from successful completion of Capex in FY21 which has led to an increase in the storage capacity providing a revenue visibility.
However, the rating is constrained by the modest financial risk profile, tight liquidity position with an elongated working capital cycle and high competition from other established players in the market.
Credit Strengths:
The promoters have an experience of over 16 years in the agriculture industry, their understanding of the dynamics of the market, and healthy relations with suppliers and customers should continue to support the business.
The scale of operations is moderate with the total operating income of Rs. 20.88 Cr. in FY20 as against Rs. 18.37 Cr in FY19 registering a growth rate of over 13%. On provisional basis in FY21, the company has achieved a sales of Rs. 22.37 Cr.
The Interest Coverage Ratio stands improved at 2.19X in FY20 from 2.16X in FY19.
The net profit & operating profit margins of the company have improved in FY20 and stands at 1.50% & 8.43% vis-a-vis 1.32% & 5.01% in FY19.
JAEPL has completed its capex in FY21 towards construction of cold storage for the storage of frozen green peas & sweet corn for the farmers. This is expected to benefit the company as its storage capacity has increased to 6000MT/pa from 5000MT/pa providing revenue visibility.
The company faces intense competition from the highly competitive nature of industry marked by the presence of small and medium size players in the organised & unorganised sectors.
The crop yield of agricultural commodities is dependent on adequate and timely monsoon. Thus, JAEPL is exposed to the risk of limited availability of its key raw material during weak monsoons. The production may be impacted by pests or crop infection leading to higher unpredictability in production and pricing of agro commodities and derived products.
The company has a tight liquidity position as indicated by a low current ratio of 0.98X in FY20 reducing from 1.02X in FY19. The current ratio stands improved as per the provisional FY21 provided by the company.
The company has a modest financial risk profile as indicated by a high gearing of 2.31X in FY20 vis-a-vis 1.18X in FY19. The gearing stands improved as per provisional FY21. The DSCR of the company stands low at 0.85X in FY20.
The company has an elongated working capital cycle as reflected by a Gross Current Assets to Net Sales of 62.36% in FY20 vis-a-vis 30.07% in FY19.
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).
