Detailed Rationale

Due to inadequate information, CRISIL, in line with Securities and Exchange Board of India guidelines, had migrated its ratings on the bank facilities of Pasupati Spinning and Weaving Mills Limited (PSWML)  to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer Not Cooperating'. However, PSWML has subsequently started sharing requisite information, necessary for carrying out a comprehensive review of the ratings. Consequently, CRISIL is migrating its ratings on PSWML's bank facilities to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+' from 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer Not Cooperating'.
 
The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of the promoter in the textile manufacturing industry along with PSWML's diversified product profile and average financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by the susceptibility to volatile raw material prices and large working capital requirement.

Analytical Approach

Of the total unsecured loans (Rs 13.51 crore as on March 31, 2019) extended to PSWML by the promoter, Rs 6.73 crore has been treated as neither debt nor equity. That is because this interest-free loan may remain in the business over the medium term.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths: 
* Promoter's experience and diversified product profile
Benefits from the promoter's extensive experience of nearly four decades, their strong understanding of local market dynamics, and longstanding relationships with vendors and customers should continue to support the business. The promoter has efficiently diversified the clientele such that no single customer contributes more than 25% to the total revenue. The product portfolio is also diverse, comprising sewing thread, knitwear, and garments.
 
* Average financial risk profile: Gearing was 1.3 times as on March 31, 2019, with networth of Rs 31.8 crore. Debt protection metrics were average, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 1.2 times and 0.09 time, respectively, in fiscal 2019.
 
Weaknesses:
* Susceptibility to volatile raw material prices
Main raw material, polyester, accounts for around 35% of total production cost, and is procured from Reliance Industries Ltd through dealers. Cost of polyester is linked to crude oil prices, which remain volatile
 
* Large working capital requirement
The working capital cycle has been stretched and may remain so even over the medium term; hence, its efficient management will be closely monitored. Gross current assets were around 217 days as on March 31, 2019, driven by moderate debtors and huge inventory of around 90 days and 113 days respectively; also, creditors extended by the suppliers stood at 122 days.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity is adequate. Net cash accrual, estimated at Rs 3.3 crore in fiscal 2020 and expected at Rs 4.07 crore in fiscal 2021, should sufficiently cover maturing debt of around Rs 0.52 crore and Rs 0.19 crore in the corresponding period. Bank limit utilisation averaged 93% over the 12 months through December 2019. Current ratio stood at 1.17 times as on March 31, 2019.Liquidity will also remain supported by the timely, need-based funds extended by the promoter.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes PSWML will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of the promoter.
 
Rating sensitivity factors:
Upward factors
* Revenue growth of more than 15% and the operating margin rising by 200 basis points, thereby leading to substantial cash accrual
* Significant reduction in working capital cycle
 
Downward factors
* Drop in revenue by more than 10% and a steep decline in profitability (as compared to fiscal 2019)
* Larger-than-expected, debt-funded capital expenditure.
