Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BBB/Stable' rating on the long-term bank facilities of Riba Textiles Limited (RTL) and assigned its 'CRISIL A3+' rating to the short-term facilities.
    
The ratings continue to reflect the company's established market position in the textile industry, healthy capital structure, and moderate working capital cycle. These strengths are partially offset by susceptibility to volatile raw material prices and intense competition due to the fragmented nature of the industry.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Established market position: RTL's moderate scale of operations provide operating flexibility in an intensely competitive industry. The promoters' experience of more than two decades, their strong understanding of market dynamics, and healthy relations with customers and suppliers should continue to support the business.
 
* Healthy capital structure: Capital structure is moderate due to low reliance on external funds: total outside liabilities to tangible networth is estimated at a modest 0.89 time as on March 31, 2020.
 
* Moderate working capital cycle: Gross current assets were moderate at an estimated 111 days as on March 31, 2020, driven by debtors and inventory of 39 and 68 days, respectively. Payables of 31 days support liquidity. Accordingly, bank lines are utilised moderately. Operations are expected to remain moderately working capital intensive over the medium term.
 
Weaknesses
* Susceptibility to volatile raw material prices: The prices of polymers, a key raw material, are volatile. As raw material costs comprise 56% of operating income, margin is susceptible to sharp movements in input prices.
 
* Intense competition due to high fragmentation: Most of the synthetic fabric produced in the country comes from the decentralised power loom and hosiery industry. Intense competition in the highly fragmented synthetic fabric industry constrains scalability and pricing power. Further revenues are estimated to remain low in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 on account of COVID-19 issue and slowdown in demand from export customers.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity should remain adequate. In the absence of any major capex over the medium term, cash accruals, expected at Rs 9.3-11.3 crore each in fiscals 2021 and 2022, should sufficiently cover yearly debt obligation of Rs 6.5 crore and support liquidity. Bank limit utilisation averaged 62% over the 9 months through February 2020. Liquidity is further supported by timely financial aid from the promoters.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes RTL will continue to benefit from its established presence and healthy relationships with clients.
 
Rating Sensitivity Factors
Upward Factors
* Improvement in operating income by more than 20% and margin by 200 basis points
* Significant increase in cash accrual generation
 
Downward Factors
* Operating income declines by more than 30% over fiscal 2020
* Fall in profitability
* Larger-than-expected debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) weakening the financial risk profile.
