Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL A-/Stable/CRISIL A2+' ratings on the bank facilities of Mangalam Organics Limited (MOL)
 
The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of the promoters and the company's established market position in the camphor industry. The ratings also factor in the healthy financial risk profile despite debt-funded capital expenditure (capex), with healthy capital structure and comfortable debt protection metrics. These strengths are partially offset by susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices and exposure to intense competition from domestic and foreign manufacturers.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Promoters' extensive experience and established market position: MOL benefits from its promoters' extensive experience in the camphor industry, and its position as a leading player in the domestic market. The Dujodwala family has experience of around five decades and healthy relationships with customers and suppliers. Furthermore, India's camphor industry benefits from lower import from China and healthy domestic demand, leading to improved realisation. While increase in domestic capacity and expected increase in import will moderate realisation, it is continued to be supported by growth in domestic demand. Being a large player in India, MOL will likely continue to benefit from the favourable market conditions and enhanced capacity.
 
* Healthy financial risk profile: The financial risk profile is supported by comfortable networth and debt protection metrics. As on March 31, 2019, networth improved rose to Rs 121.6 crore from Rs 61.2 crore in the previous year, backed by increased accrual. Despite the ongoing capex, leverage remains low, with total outside liabilities to adjusted networth ratio at 0.59 time as on March 31, 2019, and expected below 0.5 times over the medium term. Debt protection metrics are healthy with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratio at 30 times and 1.56 times, respectively, during fiscal 2019, and are likely to sustain because of healthy profitability.
 
Weaknesses
* Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices
Operating margin is susceptible to fluctuations in raw materials prices (alpha pine and gum turpentine), which account for 60-65% of total raw material. Most of the raw materials are imported from Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and Europe, and their availability and prices are subject to demand and supply situation. Input prices were volatile in the past two years. Business risk profile continues to be susceptible to changes in input prices and will remain a major rating sensitivity factor.
 
* Intense competition from domestic manufacturers as well as revival of import from China: The camphor industry is an intensely competitive business, with presence of many domestic players as well as foreign players. Due to favourable market conditions, players are expanding capacity, thereby increasing supply and intensifying competition, which will likely moderate realisation. Revival of import from China may also have an adverse impact on the entire industry.
Liquidity Adequate

Net cash accrual was Rs 77.8 crore in fiscal 2019 against debt obligation of Rs 0.2 crore. Accrual is expected at Rs 60-70 crore per fiscal over the medium term against debt obligation of Rs 3 crore and Rs 4.3 crore in fiscals 2020 and 2021, respectively. The company is in final stage of completing capacity expansion and additional capital expenditure (capex) will be undertaken between fiscals 2020 and 2021, funded through term debt of 40-50%. Bank limit was utilised at 72% on average over the 12 months through December 2019. Current ratio was 2.3 times as on March 31, 2019, and should remain above 2 times over the medium term. Cash and bank balance was modest at Rs 2.53 crore as on March 31, 2019. Enhancement of funded limits by Rs 25 crore also supports liquidity.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes MOL will continue to benefit from the promoters' experience, enhanced capacity, and favourable market conditions.

Rating sensitivity factors
Upward factors
* Sustained growth of 20-25% driven by 10-15% revenue contribution from the retail segment and growth in volume, and operating margin sustained above 20%
* Sustained financial risk profile and debt protection metrics with total outside liabilities to tangible networth maintained below 0.5 times.

Downward factors
* Sustained decline in revenue by 15-20% or in operating margin below 15%, leading to significant decline in cash accrual
* Stretch in working capital cycle or larger-than-expected debt-funded capex or cost or time overrun in ongoing capex, weakening the financial risk profile.
