Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has upgraded its rating on the bank facilities of Mangalam Organics Limited (MOL) to 'CRISIL A-/Stable/CRISIL A2+' from 'CRISIL BBB+/Stable/CRISL A2'.

The rating upgrade reflects improvement in MOL's business risk profile. Revenue grew 75% to Rs 426 crores in fiscal 2019 and operating margin to 25.9% in fiscal 2019 from 10.7% in fiscal 2018. Net cash accrual, therefore, increased substantially more than expected, to Rs 77.8 crore in fiscal 2019 from Rs 20 crore in fiscal 2018, backed by higher realisation, and efficiencies achieved on account of de-bottlenecking exercises. While revenue may increase further, driven by enhanced capacity, operating margin could moderate over the medium term, but still exceed the fiscal 2018 level. Accrual is, therefore, expected to remain steady.

The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of the promoters and established market position in the camphor industry. The ratings also factor in the healthy financial risk profile despite proposed debt funded capex, with healthy capital structure and comfortable debt protection metrics. These rating strengths are partially offset by susceptibility to volatile raw material prices and intense competition from domestic and foreign manufacturers.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Promoters' extensive experience and MOL's established market position: MOL benefits from its promoters' extensive experience in the camphor industry, and its position as one of the leading players in the Indian camphor market.  The Dujodwala family has experience of around five decades and healthy relationship with customers and suppliers. Capex of Rs 60 crore (funded by Rs 40 crore of term debt) is being carried out to enhance the capacity by around 5000 tonne per annum. The new capacity is expected to commence operations by end of October 2019. Further, India's camphor industry benefits from the lower imports from China and healthy domestic demand, leading to improvement in realisations. While, increase in domestic capacity is expected to moderate realisation, it is continued to be supported by growth in domestic demand and lower import from China. MOL being one of the large player in India is expected to 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 to Rs 121.6 crore from Rs 61.2 crore the previous year, backed by improved accruals. Despite the ongoing capex, leverage remains low, with a total outside liability to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio of 0.59 time as of March 2019, expected to remain at current level over the medium term. Debt protection metrics are healthy with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 30 times and 1.56 times respectively, during fiscal 2019.
 
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 sales. 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 have increased by around 65% in fiscal 2018, and remained stable in fiscal 2019. However, operating margin improved due to significant increase in realisation. Business risk profile continues to be susceptible to changes in input prices and will remain a major rating sensitivity factor.
 
* Intense competition from the domestic manufacturers as well as revival of imports from China: The camphor industry is an intensely competitive business, with presence of many domestic players as well as foreign players, especially from China. Due to the favourable market conditions, players are going ahead with capacity expansion, increasing the supply and intensifying competition among players ' likely to lead to moderation in realisation. Revival of imports from China, may also have an adverse impact on the entire industry.
Liquidity

Net cash accrual was Rs 77.8 crore in fiscal 2019 against debt obligations of Rs 0.2 crore. Accrual is expected around Rs 70 crore per fiscal over the medium term against maturing debt of Rs 0.4 crore and Rs 8.4 crore, respectively, in fiscals 2020 and 2021. Capital expenditure (capex) of around Rs 60 crore is being undertaken between fiscals 2019 and 2020, funded by term debt of Rs 40 crore. Bank limit was utilised at 61% on average over the 12 months through May 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 balances were a modest at Rs 2.53 crore as on March 31, 2019. 

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes MOL's business risk profile will benefited from the promoters experience, enhanced capacities and favourable market conditions. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if revenue, profitability and cash accrual significantly exceeds expectations, strengthening the financial risk profile. The outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if lower revenue and profitability, against expectation or significant stretch in working capital cycle, or a large, debt-funded capex above expectations leading to weakens financial risk profile.
