Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BB+/Stable' rating on the bank facilities of Mangaldas Venichand (MV, part of the MV group).
 
CRISIL ratings on bank facilities of MV group continues to reflect the group's established position in distribution of drainage, sewage, and water systems, the exclusive regional distributorship, and established relationships with the principals. The rating also factors in moderate operating profitability. The rating strengths are partially offset by the group's average financial risk profile, and exposure to cyclicality in end-user industries, such as real estate and infrastructure.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of MV and Shah Marketing Corporation (SMC). The two firms, together referred to as the MV group, are under a common management, operate in a similar business, and have common customers and financial linkages.

Unsecured loan of Rs.5 crore extended by promoters has been treated as debt.

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
* Established position in the drainage, sewage, and water systems distribution business: The MV group has an established position in the drainage, sewage, and water systems business, backed by its exclusive regional distributorship, healthy relationship with the principals, and extensive experience of its partners.
 
* Moderate operating margin: The operating profitability of the group has been at moderate levels estimated at 7.7 percent in fiscal 2020. The moderate profitability is mainly on account of increased commission income from sale of ONGC plastic granule products and traded materials demand.
 
Weaknesses
* Average capital structure: Financial risk profile is marked by estimated networth of Rs 17.5 crore and gearing and total outside liabilities to tangible networth ratios of 3.65 times and 5.42 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2019 and estimated at 2.08 times and 3.25 times for fiscal 2020. Also, the debt protection metrics have been below average with estimated interest coverage and net cash accruals to total debt of 1.4 and 0.07 times in fiscal 2020.
 
* Exposure to cyclicality in end-user industries: The group mainly caters to companies operating in the real estate and construction sectors, and thus, remains susceptible to cyclicality inherent in these businesses.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity is adequate. Bank limit utilization is moderate at around 74.64 percent for the past twelve months ended June 2020. Cash accrual are expected to be over Rs 2-3 crore per annum (Rs. 3.02 crore in fiscal 2020) which are sufficient against repayment obligation of Rs 0.6 crore over the medium term. In addition, it will be act as cushion to the liquidity of the company. Current ratio are moderate at 1.3 times estimated as on March31, 2020.The promoters are likely to extend support in the form of equity and unsecured loans to meet its working capital requirements and repayment obligations.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes the MV group will maintain a stable business risk profile, aided by its established market position and extensive experience of its partners.

Rating Sensitivity Factor
Upward Factors
* Sustained revenue growth of 25 percent along with stability of operating margins 
* Higher cash accruals leading to improvement in debt protection metrics

Downward Factors
* Further decline in operating income with income of less than Rs. 80 crore
* Stretch in working capital cycle due to debtors.
