KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Risks:
The company has cash and bank balances of Rs. 6.68 Crs as on March 31, 2024 (Aud.). The current ratio of the company stood comfortable at 1.25 times in FY23 and 1.22 times in FY24 .The company has average utilisation of around 96.00% for past 12 months with ending Dec 2024 for the cash credit limit of Rs.20.00 Crs for both HDFC bank and Canara bank. The net cash accrual stood at Rs. 15.77 Crs against the CPLTD of Rs. 11.50 Crs as on March 31, 2024 (Aud.). ISCR and DSCR are at comfortable level at 2.38x and 1.19x in FY24 respectively. Although the company faces risks from ongoing tensions in the Bangladesh region due to political instability, social unrest, or geopolitical conflicts that disrupt the normal course of business operations, this risk is mitigated by focusing more in domestic market in FY25. Further, the stretched liquidity is also on account of high CC utilisations and higher conversion cycle.
The company faces risks from ongoing tensions in the Bangladesh region due to political instability, social unrest, or geopolitical conflicts that disrupt the normal course of business operations. This risk is mitigated by focusing more in domestic market in FY25.
The textile industry is highly fragmented and there is significant competition among players; as a result, their bargaining power is moderate and thus, resulting in thin profit margins.
The volatility in the prices of key raw materials like cotton, polyester, and acrylic can impact production costs and profitability.
The company is exposed to foreign exchange (FX) risk due to an unhedged position, leaving it vulnerable to currency fluctuations. However, it has not adopted any risk management strategies, such as hedging, to protect itself from the potential effects of these fluctuations.
As per feedback from one of the lenders, the company has been facing delays in servicing its debt obligations. Instances of penal charges being levied highlight stressed liquidity and weak financial discipline, which adversely impacts the credit profile despite reported improvements in coverage indicators.
For arriving at its ratings, BWR has considered the standalone performance of Cedaar Textile Ltd. BWR has applied its rating methodology as detailed in the Rating Criteria (hyperlinks provided at the end of this rationale).
