Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has assigned its CRISIL BBB/Stable rating to the long term bank facilities of Dhabriya Polywood Limited (DPL).

 

The rating reflects DPL along with its subsidiaries’ established market position & extensive industry experience of the promoters, Diversified customer base & products and comfortable financial profile. These strengths are partially offset by its exposure to volatility in raw material prices and susceptibility to cyclicality in end-use industry.

Analytical Approach

Please refer Annexure - List of Entities Consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Established market position and extensive industry experience of the promoters: The group has moderate scale provides it an operating flexibility in an intensely competitive industry. Further, it also benefits from the promoters' extensive experience of over three decades in the industry, their strong understanding of market dynamics, and healthy relations with customers and suppliers and will continue to support the business.

 

  • Diversified customer base and products: The group caters to clients, includes fabricators and real estate companies which use extruded PVC profile sections, Dstona sheets & moldings and uPVC profiles to make doors, windows, interiors, various furnishing & furniture applications spread across the country. The group has extensive network of 800+ dealers/distributors PAN India. Diversity in geographic reach and strong client base should continue to support the business risk profile.

 

  • Comfortable financial profile: The group have healthy capital structure with strong networth of Rs 69 crs and gearing of 0.83 and low total outside liabilities to adj tangible networth (TOL/ANW) of 1.11 for year ending on 31st March 2023. The debt protection measures have also been at healthy level due to lower leverage and healthy profitability.  The interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt (NCATD) ratio are at 4.61 times and 0.21 times for fiscal 2023.The group debt protection measures are expected to remain at similar level over medium term.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Exposure to volatility in raw material prices: Raw materials such as unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) powder, PVC resin, stabilizers, impact modifiers and additives  accounts  for  50  to 55 per cent of the total cost of sales. Therefore, operating margins will be susceptible to raw material price volatility and remain a key rating sensitivity factor.

 

  • Susceptibility to cyclicality in end-use industry: PVC and uPVC profiles are used in manufacturing windows and doors, the sales of which depends on the real estate sector. The business risk profile is susceptible to inherent cyclicality in end-use industry & therefore, linked to performance of the economy. The competition from the substitutes products like aluminum can also pose a threat to the demand of uPVC profiles.

Liquidity: Adequate

Bank limit utilisation is low at around 42 percent for the past twelve months ended Dec-23. Cash accruals are expected to be over Rs 17-22 crore which are sufficient against term debt obligation of Rs 7-9 crore over the medium term. In addition, it will be act as cushion to the liquidity of the company.

 

Current ratio are healthy at 1.68 times on March 31, 2023. The promoters are likely to extend support in the form of equity and unsecured loans to meet its working capital requirements and repayment obligations.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believe DPL along with its subsidiaries will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoter, and established relationships with clients.

Rating Sensitivity Factors

Upward factors

  • Sustained improvement in scale of operation by 25-30% and sustenance of operating margin, leading to higher cash accruals above Rs 19 crs.
  • Improvement in working capital cycle.

 

Downward factors

  • Decline in net cash accruals below Rs 8 crore on account of decline in revenue or operating profits.
  • Witnesses a substantial increase in its working capital requirements thus weakening its liquidity & financial profile.
