Detailed Rationale

Due to inadequate information, CRISIL, in line with Securities and Exchange Board of India guidelines, had migrated the rating of Beekalene Fabrics Private Limited (BFPL) to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer Not Cooperating'. PEIPL has subsequently provided the necessary information and CRISIL has migrated its ratings on the bank facilities of BFPL from 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer Not Cooperating' to 'CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+'.
 
The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of its promoters in the textile industry, favorable location of commercial premises, and above-average financial risk profile marked by healthy networth and healthy total outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio. These strengths are partially offset by susceptibility of profit margin to volatility in raw material prices and modest scale of operations, and large working capital requirements.

Analytical Approach

USL to the tune of Rs. 4.39 crore brought in by the promoters is treated as NDNE as the same is expected to remain in the business over the medium term and are subordinate to other debt.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Extensive experience of promoters: Presence of close to four decades in the textiles industry has enabled the promoters to establish strong relationship with customers and suppliers.
 
* Locational advantage of commercial property: BFPL has constructed a commercial property in SEEPZ in Andheri, where demand for office space is high. Hence, the company is able to generate healthy lease rentals for its property.
 
* Above-average financial risk profile: Company's financial risk profile is above average marked by healthy networth of Rs 78.8 crore estimated as on March 31, 2019, low TOL/ANW and gearing of estimated 0.94 times and 0.65 times respectively.

Weaknesses:
* Susceptibility of profit margin to volatility in raw material prices: BSPL's operating margins are vulnerable to an adverse movement in the prices of its raw material, polyester yarn. Any adverse movement in raw material prices would have a negative impact on the company's operating profitability.

* Modest scale of operations in a fragmented industry: BSPL's scale of operations are modest with estimated revenues of Rs. 65 crore in FY 2019. The company operates in a highly fragmented industry marked by the presence of a large number of unorganized players. The intense competition and the high fragmentation in the industry restricts players' ability to scale up operations.

* Working capital-intensive operations: The Company have a large working capital requirement as seen by GCA of 210 days estimated as on March 31, 2019. BFPL's operations remain working capital-intensive mainly due to the high inventory and debtors.

Liquidity

Liquidity profile is marked by sufficient net cash accruals of Rs 8.7-9.8 crore in fiscal 2019 and 2020 as against debt repayment obligation of 1.1-2.5 crore. The company's fund based limit utilization is high at around 95% for the past 9 months ending January 2019. Unencumbered cash and cash equivalents are at Rs 0.32 crore as of December 31, 2018. The company also has investments in equity and mutual funds of Rs 22 crore as of December, 2018 which provides further comfort on liquidity.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes BFPL will continue to benefit over the medium term from promoters extensive experience and favourable location of its commercial premises. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if there is improvement in scale of operations, profitability and working capital cycle which will lead to higher accruals leading to improvement in liquidity. The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if decline in revenue or operating margins or debt-funded capital expenditure weakens financial risk profile.

About the Company

Incorporated in 1975 and promoted by the late Mr. O P Sehgal and Mr. K L Baba, BFPL manufactures fabrics for shirting, suiting, and furnishing, and also derives rental income from commercial premises in Andheri. Mr. Rajan Sehgal (son of the late Mr. O P Sehgal) and his sons, Mr. Karan Sehgal and Mr. Kabir Sehgal, manage operations.
 
The Company have merged with its group company 'Bombay Knitting Pvt Ltd' on October 03, 2018 with effect from April 01, 2016. Thus the financial number given below represent consolidation of Beekalene Fabrics pvt ltd and Bombay knitting pvt ltd for fiscal 2017 and 2018.
