Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities of Inox India Limited (IIL) to ‘CRISIL AA-/Stable/CRISIL A1+’.

 

The reaffirmation in ratings reflects IIL’s leading market position in the domestic cryogenic storage industry, improving global footprint backed by a sizeable order book, healthy financial risk profile and strong parentage being part of the re-organized Inox group (Mr. Pavan Jain & Siddharth Jain faction). These strengths are partially offset by exposure to intense competition in international markets and high susceptibility of revenue to the investment climate in its end-user industry i.e., oil & gas. 

 

IIL’s business risk profile continues to benefit from strong market position in the cryogenic equipment segment in India and improving share of exports. Business risk profile also benefits from the increasing demand for small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) due to its varied applications such as industrial heating, captive power generation as well as for high horse-power applications like heavy duty trucks and buses, mining trucks and marine engines. Besides, the company is also strengthening its presence in crio-bio and life sciences segment with new products developed for vaccines, stem cells, blood & bio specimen. IIL has also been steadily improving its global footprint and has secured high value supply contracts from South Korea, Japan & Europe. Further, Company has set up a new plant in Savli to ramp up its beverage KEG capacity; these are widely used in Food & Beverage industry.

 

Healthy revenue growth of 17% in fiscal 2024 to Rs 1,132 crore (FY23: Rs 966 crore) driven by steady increase in demand and realization across major products. Its order book position is healthy with current order book of ~Rs. 1,087 crore as of March 2024 which is expected to be completed over next 9-12 months. This will ensure healthy growth rate momentum continuing over the medium term. Operating margin stood strong at 22.7% in fiscal 24 with improving gross margins and a higher share of exports order. The same is expected to sustain at similar level over the medium term.

 

The healthy financial risk profile is supported by negligible debt and a strong net worth at Rs. 649 crore as of March 31, 2024. The Company intends to incur capex of ~Rs. 160 crores in fiscal 25 and regular maintenance capex thereafter which is expected to be funded entirely from internal accruals and liquid surplus. The liquidity position of the company is strong as reflected through cash surplus of ~Rs. 260 crore as on March 31, 2024. The working capital cycle is managed efficiently with the increase in share of localized raw material procurement and besides healthy cash accruals. In the absence of any debt-funded capex plans, interest coverage ratio is expected to remain strong over the medium term.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of IIL, and INOXCVA Comercio E Industria De Equipamentos Criogenicos Ltd (Inox Brazil), collectively referred to as IIL group. This is because all the companies have a common management and business interests.

 

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:

  • Strong market position in the cryogenic storage industry in India

IIL group is the largest manufacturer in the cryogenic tank segment in India, with a market share of around 70-75% as of fiscal 2024. It is a market leader in related products such as cryo containers (~50% share), vaporisers and disposable cryogenic cylinders as well. Its  client list consists of large engineering companies and companies engaged in business of manufacture and distribution of cryogenic gases, like, Air Liquide (France for its worldwide operations, Praxair, Linde, ITER, Inox Air Products, etc.

 

Improvement in IIL's performance is driven by revival of capex in the industrial gas and LNG segment coupled with increased traction from new segments like Crio-Bio & life sciences and Beverage KEGs. Company’ order book as on March 31, 2024 stood at around Rs. 1,087 crores. Industrial gas segment comprised ~63% of the order book while LNG  comprised ~28% and remaining from others. This large order book provides healthy revenue visibility over the medium term.

 

  • Healthy financial risk profile

The company remained at low debt of Rs. 5 crores as of March 2024 from peak debt levels of Rs. 419 crores as on March 31, 2018. Further, debt free balance sheet is expected to sustain due to modest capex plans of ~Rs. 160 crore in fiscal 2024 and Rs. 30-50 crore per annum thereafter which is expected to be funded entirely from internal accruals and liquid surplus. Interest coverage ratio is expected to remain comfortable at over ~50 times over the medium term.

 

  • Benefits of being part of Inox group

IIL benefits from part of the diverse Inox group, which has presence in air gases and cyrogenic tanks. Leading companies in the group are among the top two in their respective sectors in the country, and also financially strong. Besides, the promoters have also supported IIL in the past through infusion of funds to offset losses in overseas subsidiary and to retire debt. Promoter support is expected to be forthcoming in the event of any exigencies.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Exposure to intense competition in international markets

IIL group faces stiff competition in the international cryogenic products market. Although the group has a strong market position in India, where it commands a dominant market share, its scale of operation is modest in the international market (accounted for 55% of the consolidated revenues in fiscal 2024). However, company has been gradually increasing its footprint in the global market and share from revenues from exports is expected to go up-to ~50-55% over the medium term.

 

  • Revenues susceptible to slowdown in end-user segment

IIL group primarily operates in the capital goods sector, which is cyclical in nature, and susceptible to international policies governing end-user industries, such as oil and gas and industrial gases. The group's revenues are closely linked to the investment climate in its end-user segment. The group's performance will be susceptible to any slowdown in the end-user segment.

Liquidity: Strong

IIL has a strong liquidity profile with cash surplus of over Rs 260 crore as on March 31, 2024. Modest capex plans of ~Rs. 160 crore for fiscal 25 and Rs. 30-50 crore per annum thereafter is expected to be funded entirely from internal accruals expected at over Rs. 230-290 crore per annum. Further, IIL India has cushion in the form of fund-based bank limits of Rs.205 crore which is utilized at a low of ~12% over past 7 months ending April 2024. CRISIL rating expects the liquidity profile to remain strong over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes that IIL will continue to benefit over the medium term from its improving business risk profile led by strong operating performance and healthy order book. CRISIL Ratings believes healthy operating performance should improve the capital structure supported by good cash flow. CRISIL also expects the promoters to provide necessary support in case of exigencies.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

  • Significant increase in scale of operations driven by increasing product and geographical diversification while maintaining operating margin at over 21%.
  • Sustenance of financial risk profile, including through prudent management of working capital and capex spend
  • Maintenance of healthy liquidity in normal course of business

 

Downward factors

  • Sluggish business performance impacting operating margins below 17% on a sustained basis
  • Significant rise in debt levels due to sizeable expansion or acquisitions or elongation of working capital levels, impacting key debt metrics
