BWR has reaffirm the long term ratings of Tomar Construction Company to BWR BB+ (Stable) and the short term rating at BWR A4+. The rating reflects the extensive experience of the partners in executing tender based government projects. The rating positively factors the moderate orders in hand from government agencies which are to be completed in the next couple of years thereby providing a revenue visibility in the medium term. The rating draws comfort from the moderate financial risk profile of the firm which is characterized by a moderate partner's capital position, low gearing level and healthy profitability margins.
The rating is however constrained by the execution risk associated with the government tender based projects and the constitution risk of being a partnership firm. The rating has also factored the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the overall business of the firm in the current fiscal.
The ‘stable’ outlook indicates a low likelihood of a rating change in the medium term. BWR expects that the firm’s performance is likely to be maintained over the next few years. The rating outlook may be revised to Positive if there is a significant improvement in firm revenues and profitability margins. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is any further deterioration in the financial risk profile of the firm.
KEY RATING DRIVERSCredit Strengths:
The partners of the firm, Mr. Sandeep Tomar and Mr. Sumit Tomar have over 15 years of experience in executing various government projects in the civil construction and infra development works.
The firm currently has pending work orders of more than Rs. 50 Crores which are to be completed in the next couple of years thereby providing a revenue visibility in the medium term.
Being a partnership firm, TCC is exposed to the risk of capital withdrawal by the partners for any personal contingency which may affect the overall capital structure of the firm. For instance, the partner's capital in FY21 was declined by Rs.0.25 Crore over FY20 level.
Execution risks for newly awarded projects in a timely manner will be key to achieving growth in revenues and profits. Business certainty is dependent on the company’s ability to successfully bid for the tenders as entire business is tender based. The margins available to the company are also restricted because of competitive pricing in the industry.
Nationwide lock-down had disrupted the operations of the company in April and May, 2020, and state wise lockdown in 2021 for around a month. However the firm resumed its operations after that, which in turn may not impact the firm's business as much. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the construction sector, which is sensitive to economic cycles. Yet, on the upside, construction holds much potential to stimulate recovery, thanks to its potential to create jobs; and in turn, recovery measures can support the sector’s transformation towards sustainability and digitalization. Tripartite cooperation and social dialogue, together with international labour standards, are key to promote a human-centred recovery of the construction sector from the crisis.
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
Going forward, the ability of the company to improve its scale of operations, reduction in operating expenses, improve its profitability margins, the debt servicing capability & liquidity would be key rating sensitivities.
Upgrade : The rating may be revised for an upgrade if the company is able to achieve significant growth in revenue along with a significant improvement in profit margins, DSCR/ISCR ratio and sustained improvement in net worth.
Downgrade : The rating may be revised negatively if revenue and profit margins substantially deteriorate from current level and if there is an overall deterioration in the financial risk profile of the entity. Any additional borrowing by the company may lead to further deterioration in debt protection metrics and profit margins.
