BWR believes that Aadar Infracon 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 Aadar Infracon of FY20,FY21,FY22 and projected financial statements of FY23,FY24, publicly available information and information / clarifications provided by the entity’s management. The rating draws strength from the vast business experience of the partner/s, established track of operations and above average financial risk profile. However, the rating is constrained by the scale of operations, constitution of the firm and high competition from other established players in the market.
Going forward, the ability of the entity to achieve projected revenue & profitability margins and manage liquidity would be key rating sensitivities
Credit Strengths:
The partners have a good experience in Civil Construction industry. This has given them an understanding of the dynamics of the market, and enabled them to establish relationships with suppliers and customers.
In FY 22 the company reported net sales of Rs 3.49 Crs and is expected to increase to 4.47 FY 23. TNW improved to Rs 2.03 Crs in FY 22 against Rs 2.03 Crs in FY 21. Debt protection metrics were adequate as reflected by DSCR of 1.43x and ISCR of 1.95x in FY 22 indicating company’s adequacy to meet its debt obligations.
Credit Risks:
Entry barriers in the industry are low on account of limited capital and technology requirements and also low differentiation in the end product leading to intense and limiting pricing power resulting in low profitability.
The real estate sector is prone to fluctuations in demand and pricing, which will also affect the company, more so because of its very small scale of operations.
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
Positive: The rating may be revised upward in case the revenues and profit show sustained improvement backed by healthy liquidity.
Negative: The rating may be revised downward in case revenue of the company deteriorates substantially from the current level or the company is not able to maintain its order book at a reasonable level. Rating may also be adversely affected in case of deterioration in gearing and debt coverage ratios and deterioration in the liquidity profile can also lead to revision in rating.
LIQUIDITY POSITION
Liquidity: Adequate
The liquidity remained adequate and is expected to remain constant in future as Net cash accruals stands at Rs. 0.35 Crs in FY22 which are adequate against the term debt repayment obligation in the medium term. Current ratio was moderate at 1.19times as on 31 Mar 2022.The average working capital utilization limits remained at around 75.27 % in the last 9 months ending on September, 2022.
