Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL B+/Stable' rating on the long-term bank facilities of Dreamlight Merchant Private Limited (DMPL).
 
The ratings reflect the company's vulnerability to intense competition in the packaging materials industry, and its weak financial risk profile. These weaknesses are partially offset by the extensive experience of the promoters.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weakness
* Vulnerability to intense competition in the packaging materials industry
The packaging materials industry is highly fragmented due to limited capital and technology requirement, short gestation periods, and easy access to raw materials. Hence, intense competition from several unorganised players constrains the scalability and pricing power of players like DMPL.
 
* Weak financial risk profile
Financial risk profile is marked by a small networth and high gearing of around Rs 35 lakh and 7.5 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2019. With limited accretion to reserve and substantial dependence on working capital debt, gearing may remain high over the medium term. Debt protection metrics were subdued, with interest coverage of 2.36 times in fiscal 2019.
 
Strengths
* Extensive experience of the promoters
Benefits from the three-decade-long experience of the promoters in the polymer packaging industry, healthy relationships with major suppliers and customers, and established market position - leading to robust revenue growth - should continue to support the business.
Liquidity Poor

Liquidity is marked by small cash accrual of Rs 17 lakh in fiscal 2019, however against no maturing debt. Bank limit utilisation averaged 93% over the 12 months through January 2020. Current ratio stood at 1.02 times as on March 31, 2019.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes DMPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters in the polymer industry.

Rating Sensitivity Factors
Upward Factors
* Substantial and sustained growth in operating income, to over Rs 50 crore, and margin to more than 4%, leading to better cash accrual
* Improvement in financial risk profile

Downward Factors
* Drop in operating income to below Rs 20 crore, and operating margin to less than 1%, resulting in weak cash accrual
* Further stretch in the working capital cycle, with gross current assets exceeding 150 days.

About the Company

Incorporated in 2010, DMPL manufactures tailor-made polypropylene fabrics, woven bags, and sacks. Mr Pawan Kumar Agarwal and Ms Shikha Agarwal are the promoters. The manufacturing facility is in Bankura, West Bengal.
