Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities of Goodluck India Limited (GIL) at 'CRISIL BBB/Stable/CRISIL A3+'.

The ratings continue to reflect GIL's established presence in the steel processing industry, its diversified product profile, and increasing geographic presence. These strengths are partially offset by large working capital requirement, susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices due to intense competition in the fragmented industry, and subdued financial risk profile.

Analytical Approach

Unsecured loan of Rs 30 crore as on March 31, 2019, from the promoters has been treated as neither debt nor equity as the loan has low interest and should remain in the business over the medium term.

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has now combined the business and financial risk profiles of GIL and its wholly owned subsidiary Swachh Industries Limited (SIL) collectively referred to as the Goodluck group. The management has decided to amalgamate SIL with GIL.

Pease 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 presence in the steel processing industry: The Company has leveraged its promoters' experience of more than three decades in the steel processing industry for expanding its capacity and product portfolio.

* Diversified product profile: GIL has a diversified product profile. It engineers basic steel to black and galvanized pipes and tubes, cold rolled coils, strips, and galvanised sheet/roofing sheets, transmission towers, bright bars, industrial/automotive forgings and flanges, and automotive tubes. A wide product mix safeguards against cyclicality and event-based risks.

* Increasing geographic presence: The plant in Gujarat, which started commercial production in July 2018, accounts for 24% of the company's expanded capacity. The new plant will result in geographic expansion to southern and western India, and into the international market, which was not economical earlier on account of high freight cost.

Weaknesses
* Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets were at 131 days as on March 31, 2019, driven by receivables of 62 days and inventory of 73 days. Large working capital requirement have resulted in high bank limit utilisation.

* Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices due to intense competition in the fragmented industry: GIL is susceptible to volatility in the price of key raw material, hot-rolled coils, which accounts for 70% of the total raw material cost, as the company is unable to pass on the impact of increase in raw material prices to customers in short-term contacts. In the long-term contracts, change in price is passed on only after 1-2 months.

* Average financial risk profile: Gearing was moderate at 1.77 times as on March 31, 2019. Interest coverage was 2.1 times and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratio was 0.1 time in fiscal 2019 on account of modest operating profitability and large debt to fund capacity expansion and working capital requirement.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity is adequate: cash accrual, expected at over Rs 65 crore in fiscal 2020, should sufficiently cover yearly maturing debt of Rs 38 crore.  Utilisation of fund-based limit of Rs 329 crore was high, averaging 95.8% over the 12 months through Dec 2019. The company has no major capex plans. Cash and cash equivalents were low at less than Rs 1.65 crore as on March 31, 2019.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes GIL will continue to benefit from its established market position.

Rating Sensitivity factors
 Upward Factors:
* Strengthening of the business risk profile, driven by improvement in operating profitability of the company
* Improvement in working capital cycle by around 20 days leading to improved liquidity position
 
Downward Factors:
* Decline in operating profitability
* Stretch in working capital cycle by more than 40 days leading to stretched liquidity
