CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+' ratings on the bank facilities of Ravi Shankar Jaiswal (RSJ).
The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience of the partners in the civil construction industry and a moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by modest scale of operations and exposure to risks related to intense competition. |
Analytical approach Unsecured loan of Rs 1.12 crore provided by the partners as on March 31, 2020, has been treated as debt. |
Key rating drivers and detailed description Strengths * Extensive experience of the partners: The three-decade-long experience of the partners, their strong understanding of the market dynamics and healthy relationships with suppliers and customers will continue to support the business risk profile.
* Moderate financial risk profile: Networth was Rs 11.18 crore, gearing was 0.50 time and total outside liabilities to tangible networth ratio was 1.29 times as on March 31, 2020. Debt protection metrics were adequate, indicated by interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 4.24 times and 41%, respectively, in fiscal 2020. The financial risk profile is expected to remain moderate, backed by limited reliance on external debt.
Weaknesses * Exposure to risks related to intense competition: As almost all the sales are tender-based, revenue is dependent on the ability to bid successfully for tenders. Players' margins come under pressure because of competitive pricing. Profitability on each project is subject to pricing of raw materials, availability of labour, machinery mobilisation and weather and geological conditions. Exposure to risks related to intense competition is likely to persist.
* Modest scale of operations: Revenue was modest at Rs 24.51 crore in fiscal 2020, thus constraining operating flexibility. Revenue remained low in fiscal 2020 on account of delay in receiving approval from the government and is expected to remain so over the medium term, with orders of Rs 70 crore expected to be executed in the next 18-24 months. |
Liquidity: Adequate Cash accrual, expected at Rs 3-3.5 crore per annum, will sufficiently cover yearly debt obligation of Rs 1.2-1.3 crore over the medium term. Bank limit utilisation averaged 86% over the 12 months through November 2020. Current ratio was healthy at 1.53 times on March 31, 2020. The partners are likely to extend support through unsecured loans to meet the working capital requirement and debt obligation. The firm has opted for moratorium for interest payment on its working capital facility until May 2020 under the Reserve Bank of India's Covid-19 Regulatory Package. |
Outlook: Stable RSJ should continue to benefit from the partners’ extensive experience. Rating sensitivity factorsUpward factors
