Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL A+/Stable/CRISIL PP-MLD AA-r(CE)/CRISIL AA-(CE)/Negative' on the long-term bank facilities, non-convertible debentures, and long-term principal-protected market linked debentures of Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (EARC).

 

CRISIL Ratings has also withdrawn its ratings on the Rs 73.88 crore long-term principal protected market linked debentures (See annexure 'Details of Rating Withdrawn') in line with its withdrawal policy.

 

The reaffirmation of the rating at ‘CRISIL A+’ on the non-guaranteed debt is driven by a demonstrated sustainability in the standalone performance of EARC and the reaffirmation of ratings for the Edelweiss group. With significant scale up over time, EARC has become one of the key contributors to the overall business profile as well as profits of the Edelweiss group. EARC is the largest ARC in the country with securities receipts managed of Rs 41,814 crore as on December 31, 2021 (Rs 40,800 crore as on March 31, 2021). The company’s reported profits stood at of Rs 188 crore for 9MFY21 (Rs 186 crore in fiscal 2021) vis-à-vis Rs 167 crore (Rs 254 crore) for the group during the same period.

 

The ratings on the debt instruments of EARC continue to centrally factor in the expectation of strong management, financial, and operational support from the ultimate parent, Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (EFSL) (rated ‘CRISIL AA-/Negative/CRISIL A1+’; holding company of the Edelweiss group), both on an ongoing basis and in the event of distress. Such expectation reflects the strategic importance of EARC to EFSL as well as the strong moral obligation on EFSL to support EARC, given the shared name and distressed assets resolution being a focus area of the group. 

 

The ratings on EFSL, continue to reflect the Edelweiss group’s adequate capitalisation levels, supported by multiple capital raises; diversified business profile with presence across lending, asset management, wealth management, broking, asset reconstruction and insurance segments; and demonstrated ability to build significant presence in multiple lines of business, which should continue to support earnings. The group also maintains adequate liquidity on an ongoing basis

 

The continuation of the ‘Negative’ outlook on EFSL’s rating reflects the challenges in profitability and asset quality that the group has been facing largely on account of stress on its wholesale lending book. The retail lending book was also impacted amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Trends in profitability and asset quality, over the medium term, will be key monitorables.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings has considered the standalone business and financial risk profiles of EARC. CRISIL has also factored in the support that EARC is likely to receive from its ultimate parent, EFSL. This is because EARC and EFSL have extensive business and operational linkages and a common brand. CRISIL Ratings has applied its criteria on rating instruments backed by guarantees. The (CE) suffix reflects the payment structure that is designed to ensure full and time-bound payment to lenders.

 

For arriving at the ratings on EFSL, CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of EFSL, its subsidiaries and associates in the wealth management business. This is because all these entities have significant operational, financial and managerial linkages and operate under a common Edelweiss brand.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Strong market position: EARC is the largest ARC in India, with outstanding security receipts (SRs; includes both owned and managed) of Rs 41,814 crore as on December 31, 2021 (Rs 40,800 crore as on March 31, 2021). While the company initially acquired primarily corporate assets, it has also started acquiring retail and SME assets and has set-up the requisite infrastructure for the same. The share of retail is expected to grow to almost 50% over the medium term from less 11% as on December 31,2021. EARC plans to focus on recoveries mainly through restructuring and rehabilitation of the portfolio companies acquired. Over the medium term, acquisitions will be done where the risk-reward equation is within a pre-decided range with a focus on fee-based business model. The experienced management team at EARC is a key support factor in building up its strong market position and enhancing its recovery capabilities.

 

  • Benefits accruing from being part of Edelweiss group: EFSL is the promoter of, and the largest shareholder in, EARC. EFSL holds 60% stake (on diluted basis) in EARC through its wholly owned subsidiary, Edelweiss Custodial Services Ltd and other subsidiaries. Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), one of North America’s largest pension fund managers, holds 20% stake in EARC. The Edelweiss group will continue to hold minimum 60% stake in EARC. The company is strategically important to the group, which has identified distressed asset reconstruction as a growth area.

 

EARC has operational synergies with other group businesses such as asset management, investment banking and corporate lending. It benefits from the financial, operational and management linkages with the Edelweiss group, which has infused Rs 281 crore as equity till date. Also, EARC borrows from the group companies when required. It derives benefits of association with the group in raising debt. The group’s senior management is actively involved in EARC’s strategic decision-making. The group will continue to support EARC owing to its majority shareholding in the company and shared brand.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Asset quality challenges inherent in the industry: EARC faces asset quality-related challenges given exposure to only stressed assets, despite its adequate asset acquisition and resolution policy framework. Till December 31, 2021, EARC had put in place resolution strategies for assets of more than Rs 40,000 crore through employment of various mechanisms. There were recoveries in few accounts in fiscal 2021 and 9MFY22 despite the slowdown caused by pandemic. The cumulative SR redemption ratio till December 31, 2021, stood at 36% and was in line with industry average. However, given the current economic scenario, with pressure on the cash flows of borrowers, EARC’s ability to recover from its exposures will remain a key monitorable.

 

  • Volatile earnings profile: EARC’s earnings profile is volatile because of unpredictable recoveries from acquired assets, owing to the nature of business. The company focuses on fee-based income by managing large trust assets, wherein a significant proportion of the security receipts are held by external investors (banks or qualified buyers). This lends some stability to revenue as management fees are higher in payment waterfall than payment to security receipt holders. However, with the management fees being linked to net asset value, the ability to recover impacts management fees as well. Moreover, increasing early recovery incentives under the 15:85 and subsequent regimes provides an additional income stream if EARC is able to effect recoveries swiftly. The resolution strategy is mainly turnaround and recovery rather than asset stripping. Given the regulatory construct of investing a minimum of 15% of security receipts of each trust, EARC’s earnings are more strongly linked to the extent of recoveries from acquired assets than the previous 5:95 regime.

Liquidity: Adequate

EARC has adequate cash and cash equivalents. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited has a liquidity of Rs 275 Crore as on December 31, 2021. The Edelweiss group also maintains adequate liquidity. As a policy, the group maintains a liquidity cushion of 9-10% of the balance sheet. There was a liquidity cushion (including cash, liquid investments and treasury assets) of around Rs 1,900 crore and unutilised bank lines of around Rs 300 crore as on January 31, 2022. The group also has other liquid assets (investments and securities-based lending book), which can be accessed if necessary. These were Rs 3,050 crore.  As on January 31, 2022, the overall liquidity was adequate to meet the debt obligation maturing over the next four months till May 31, 2022. The maturity profile of assets and liabilities continue to be well-matched. 

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes EARC will maintain its robust market position over the medium term and continue to receive strong support from the Edelweiss group.

 

Outlook on instruments guaranteed by EFSL: Negative

The outlook on the debt instruments guaranteed by EFSL reflects CRISIL Ratings’ outlook on the credit profile of EFSL

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

  • Upward change in the credit risk profile of EFSL could have a similar rating change on EARC
  • Substantial improvement in the market position and profitability levels at EARC
  • Significant improvement in the group's asset quality with GNPA less than 3% on a sustained basis, coupled with reduction in level of stressed assets
  • Improvement in earning profile across businesses for the group

 

Downward factors

  • Downward change in the credit risk profile of EFSL could have a similar rating change on EARC
  • Significant decline in earnings profile and capital position EARC.
  • Continued pressure on profitability of the group, with losses continuing on a sustained basis (Negative PAT excluding one-off gains)
  • Deterioration in asset quality of the group
  • Continued funding access challenges with limited fund-raising by the group

Adequacy of credit enhancement structure

The credit enhancement reflects the strength of an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee extended by EFSL, and the payment mechanism for the issue. CRISIL Ratings believes EFSL's guarantee and the structured payment mechanism will support the timely repayment of the debt instruments in full. CRISIL Ratings has fully consolidated the business and financial risk profiles of the borrower and the guarantor. The financials of the borrower, including the guaranteed debt, are adequately factored in the consolidated financials of the guarantor. The rating agency has also considered multiple scenarios to test the adequacy of the credit enhancement structure. It believes the instrument has a high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations even in the most unlikely stress scenario

Unsupported ratings  - CRISIL A+/CRISIL PPMLD A+

CRISIL Ratings has introduced the suffix CE for instruments having explicit credit enhancement feature, in compliance with the circular of Securities and Exchange Board of India dated June 13, 2019.
