Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has upgraded its rating on the long-term bank facilities of SVR Spinning Mills Private Limited (SVR; part of the RK Hair group) to 'CRISIL BB+/Stable' from 'CRISIL BB-/Stable' while the short term rating has been reaffirmed at 'CRISIL A4+'.
 
The upgrade factors in improvement in liquidity, supported by infusion of non-interest bearing unsecured loans from RK Hair group and promoters. Unsecured loans of Rs. 16.65 crore was infused by promoters and affiliates in fiscal 2019. Need based fund support from the promoters/affiliates is expected to continue going forward. Additionally, business risk profile is expected to improve with increased scale of operations due to addition of capacities and stabilization of operations.
 
The rating reflects extensive industry experience of promoters and strong support from its parent, RK Hair Products Private Limited (RKPL; rated 'CRISIL BBB+/Stable'). These strengths are partially offset by a below-average financial risk profile and exposure to intense competition and to volatility in cotton prices.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has applied the parent notch-up criteria to factor the support from SVR's parent, RKPL.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Strong support from parent
SVR receives strong managerial and financial support from its parent, RKPL and other entities in the group, Indian Hair Industries Pvt Ltd (rated 'CRISIL BBB/Stable') and Ravali Spinners Private Limited (RSPL; rated 'CRISIL BBB+/Stable'').Benefits from its association with RK Hair group expected to be continued over the medium term.
 
* Extensive industry experience of the promoters
The promoters have extensive experience in the cotton yarn industry through group Company, RSPL which is one of the largest spinning units in Andhra Pradesh. Promoters experience coupled with established customer relationships, is expected to support the business risk profile over the medium term.

Weaknesses
* Below-average financial risk profile
Financial risk profile is marked by small networth, aggressive capital structure and adequate debt protection metrics.

Networth remains modest at Rs. 7.05 Cr as on March 31, 2019. With modest net profit, networth is expected to be around Rs. 8 Cr over the medium term. Capital structure remains aggressive with gearing and total outside liabilities to tangible networth (TOL/TNW) of 3.91 times and 6.27 times respectively, as on March 31, 2019. However total outside liabilities includes unsecured loans of Rs. 16.79 crore extended by promoters/affiliates. Debt protection metrics remain adequate with interest coverage ratio of 2.67 times for FY19.
 
* Exposure to intense competition and to volatility in cotton prices:
The cotton yarn industry is highly fragmented due to numerous small, unorganized players and a few large players. Furthermore, the company's operating margin remains vulnerable to fluctuations in cotton prices, which are highly volatile and constitute above 70% of total production cost.  
Liquidity Stretched

Liquidity profile is marked by low cushion between accruals and repayment obligations, support from parent and RK Hair group.

SVR has generated cash accruals of Rs. 1.94 Cr against repayment obligations of Rs. 1.84 Cr for FY19. It is expected to generate sufficient accruals to meet repayment obligations over the medium term. RK Hair group and promoters have infused unsecured loans of Rs. 16.65 crore in fiscal 2019. Need based fund support from the promoters/affiliates is expected to continue going forward.   

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes SVR will continue to benefit over the medium term from the extensive experience of its promoters and strong financial support from parent.
 
Rating Sensitivity Factor
Upward factor
*Sustained revenue growth of 50 % percent over the medium term while the profitability is maintained at FY19 levels
*Improvement in credit risk profile of parent
 
Downward factors
*Weakening of the credit risk profile of parent    
*Stretch in working capital cycle leading to increase in gross current assets to 200 days.
