The reaffirmation in the ratings of C G Ispat Pvt Ltd. (CGIPL or 'the company') takes into account the poor liquidity profile of the company indicated by its poor DSCR and very high utilisation of the working capital limits, besides declining revenues due to COVID in FY21. The company's projected internal accruals will be insufficient to service the maturing debt repayments in FY21. However, in order to tide over the short term liquidity crunch, the lenders have sanctioned guaranteed emergency credit line to the tune of Rs 6.15 Crs to the company for a period of 4 years. This is expected to bridge the short term funding requirements of the company. The mentioned credit risks are partially offset by strong operational linkages of the company with its group company Vaswani Industries Ltd (rated BWR BBB-) which offers CGIPL a wide client base. Further, the long experience of the promoters and locational advantage in terms of having easy accessibility to raw material provides some credit strength to the company's rating.
KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
The company/Firm is located in Raipur cluster and thus has a competitive advantage in terms of skilled labor, logistics, production knowledge and vendors making the company more efficient and cost effective.
Experienced directors & access to wide client base of Vaswani group. Company derives strength from partial integration with the group co. Vaswani Industries Ltd. (BWR BBB- dated 14 Oct 2020).
The company is in existence for 15years and has seen complete business cycles.
Credit Risks:
The company's utilisation of working capital limits remained very high at more than 95% for last 6 months. Moreover, the company's internal accruals are expected to remain between 1.5-2 Crs in FY21 which are not sufficient to cover the debt repayments as per existing schedules of its Term loans. However, the company has been granted COVID related Guaranteed loans of Rs 6.35 for a period of 4 years (1 Yr Moratorium+ 3 Yrs repayments) by consortium lenders in Oct 2020 to meet its liquidity needs. The repayments for these loans will start from Oct 2021.
DSCR and ISCR of the company stand at 0.91 and 1.40 respectively in FY20 indicating company’s inadequacy to meet its debt obligations through internal accruals.
High competition and cyclical nature of the steel industry.
The company's turnover is declining year on year. This year, the company's turnover is expected to decline by ~30% due to COVID impact. The company has achieved Rs 47 Crs of turnover in 9MFY21 against the projected revenues of Rs 75 Crs.
The rating of C G Ispat Pvt. Ltd. is arrived at on a standalone basis after independent evaluation of its financial risk profile. 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 Trigger: Improvement in DSCR of more than 1x coupled with substantial improvement in revenues, operating & net margins along with other favourable factors may trigger an upgrade.
Negative Trigger: The rating may be downgraded if the company fails to achieve the projected sales & profits for FY21 and the DSCR deteriorates further to less than 0.75x.
LIQUIDITY INDICATORS - Poor
Poor liquidity is indicated by inadequate cash accruals from operations (expected between Rs 1.5-2 Crs in FY21 & Rs 2-2.5 Crs in FY22) to service the repayments due in the coming year (~3.5-4 Crs in FY22) and higher utilisation of the bank limits of more than 98% on an average for last 6 months. However, the company has been granted COVID related guaranteed term loans to the tune of Rs 6.35 Crs by its lenders for a period of 4 years with repayments beginning from Oct'21. This will help the company in tiding over the liquidity crunch due to COVID while enabling the company to meet its debt repayments in FY21 & FY22.
