Detailed Rationale

 CRISIL Ratings has withdrawn its ratings on the Fixed Deposit programme of Renaissance Global Limited (RGL). The rating is withdrawn on the request of the company and confirmation that there are no outstanding fixed deposit obligations. The withdrawal is in line with CRISIL Ratings' policy for withdrawal of ratings.

 

CRISIL Ratings has also reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities of RGL at ‘CRISIL BBB+/Stable/CRISIL A2‘.

 

The ratings continue to reflect the group’s established market presence backed by the experience of the promoters, focus on increasing presence in the branded jewellery segment and comfortable capital structure. These strengths are partially offset by large working capital requirement and susceptibility to intense competition leading to moderate operating profit margin.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of RGL and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the Renaissance group, because of their strong business, operational and financial linkages.

 

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 market presence backed by the experience of the promoters

The extensive experience of the promoters of more than two decades has helped the group establish its position in the international diamond studded jewellery segment. The group is one of the largest exporters of studded jewellery from India, with manufacturing facilities in India and in the UAE. The group has longstanding relations with marquee customers such as Signet, Helzberg, JC Penny, Walmart, Malabar, etc. and have successfully navigated through several business cycles over the years.

 

Focus on increasing presence in the branded jewellery segment

Renaissance group is continuously focusing on improving its presence in the branded jewellery segment. Group has signed a strategic licensing partnership with Disney, Hallmark and recently with National Football League (NFL) and is continuously looking on opportunities to expand its presence in branded jewellery segment.

 

Comfortable capital structure

Networth was adequate at ~Rs 886 crore as on March 31, 2022, and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth ratio was moderate at ~1.19 times. Healthy accretion to reserves should support to maintain comfortable capital structure over the medium term.

 

Weaknesses:

Large working capital requirement

Operations have been working capital intensive, with gross current assets (GCA), inventory and receivables estimated at 277 days, 171 days and 75 days, respectively, as on March 31, 2022. Operations are estimated to remain working capital intensive over medium term.

 

Susceptibility to intense competition resulting in moderate operating profit margin

The gems and jewellery industry is highly fragmented because of low entry barriers on account of relatively low capital and technology requirements, attracting numerous unorganised players across the country.

Liquidity: Adequate

RGL has adequate liquidity driven by unencumbered cash and cash equivalents of around Rs  182 crores as on March 31, 2022, along with access to fund-based bank lines of Rs 256.5 crore which were utilized to the tune of 71% for 6 months ended April 2022. Further, the group is expected to generate healthy net cash accruals over the medium term. As against this, the group has repayment obligations of around Rs 12.6 crore fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 each; and payments to be made to the erstwhile promoters of Jay Gems USA amounting to around Rs. 28 crore. Capex of around Rs. 30 crores in FY23, expected to be funded through internal accruals. CRISIL Ratings believes that going forward RGL's available liquidity, incremental net cash accruals and unutilized bank limits will be sufficient to fund its repayment obligations, capex plans and incremental working capital requirements.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes RGL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and established presence in exports market.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Upward factors

  • Sustained growth of over 15% in revenue along with improved operating margins leading to significantly better than earlier expected cash accruals
  • Improvement in working capital cycle driven by sustained reduction in inventory levels
  • Sustained healthy financial risk profile and liquidity

 

Downward factors

  • Decline in revenue or significant drop in operating margins leading to much lower cash accruals
  • Stretch in working capital cycle with increased inventory levels to beyond 180 days
  • More than expected dividend payout, significant debt funded capex weakening the financial risk profile especially liquidity
