Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities and fixed deposit of S. B. Reshellers Private Limited (SBR) at 'CRISIL BB+/Stable/CRISIL A4+/CRISIL FB+/Stable'.

The ratings continue to reflect its established market position in the sugar mill roller manufacturing and reshelling businesses, supported by the extensive experience of its promoters and established client relationship. The ratings also factor in the company's moderate financial risk profile because of comfortable networth and gearing, and adequate debt protection metrics. These strengths are partially offset by a modest scale of operations, susceptibility to cyclicality in the sugar industry, increasing investments in group companies and large working capital requirement due to seasonal nature of business.

The company's operations were impacted in fiscal 2020 beause of heavy floods in its region which disrupted the operations. Further the performance was impacted in the month of March 2020 due to outbreak of novel corona (COVID-19) and government's measures like lockdown. Revenue for fiscal 2020 was estimated to reduce below Rs.75 crore from Rs. 90.6 crore in previous fiscal. Cash accruals, though moderated, likely to remain healthy at over Rs.5 crore in fiscal 2020. The revenue growth has been impacted in Q1 of fiscal 2020, nonetheless, stable revenue stream from reshelling business, moderate order book for new projects and revenue contribution from new product segments are likely to support the revenues and business risk profile.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL continues with the analytical approach of knocking off the investments in group entities/subsidiaries from SBR's networth, except investments in The Ugar Sugar Works Ltd as these are marketable securities.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths: 
* Established market position and promoters' extensive experience: The company's promoters have around six decades of experience in the sugar business. Also, the company has established itself as a key player in the roller manufacturing and reshelling business backed by its track record and experience. It has established market position in Maharashtra and Karnataka and other nearby states as well as overseas markets. The company caters to a wide base of sugar clients in India and overseas. Also, business risk profile should continue to be supported by geographical and customer diversity in revenue.
 
* Moderate financial risk profile: Gearing is estimated to be healthy at 0.61 time as on March 31, 2020, while debt protection metrics were robust, reflected in interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios estimated at  2.63 times and 0.25time, respectively, in fiscal 2020. Healthy cash accruals had limited the reliance on external debt and supported overall financial risk profile.
 
Weaknesses:
* Average scale and working capital intensive operations: Exposure to intense competition from organised and unorganised players will continue to constrain scaleability, reflected in estimated revenue of around Rs 73 crore for fiscal 2020. Further, Gross current assets are estimated at 162 days as on March 31, 2020, because of inventory and receivables of 108 days and 45 days, respectively. However, this was largely funded by customer advances and moderate utilisation of available bank limit. The company derives major revenues from sugar industry, however it has been diversifying its end user industry base. Ability of company to scale up operations in other segments remains a key monitorable.
 
* Exposure to cyclicality in the sugar industry: Revenue profile is highly concentrated, given the high dependence on orders from original equipment manufacturers in the sugar industry. This exposes the firm's business risk profile to any slowdown in the industry, which can delay implementation of sugar projects.
 
* Large investments in group companies: SBR had sizeable investments in its affiliates. The total investments as on March 31, 2019 was about Rs.23.84crores; increased from Rs.22.54 crores in previous year.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity is adequate. Utilisation of bank limit averaged 69% over the 12 months through March 2020, primarily as working capital requirement was largely funded through advances from customers. The promoters have supported operations by extending fixed deposits, at Rs 3.61 crore as on March 31, 2020. Expected cash accrual of over Rs 5 crore should suffice to meet debt obligation of over Rs 2 crore over the medium term. Investment in group entities stood at Rs 23.84 crore as on March 31, 2019. The quantum of such investment will remain a key rating sensitivity factor. The current ratio was average at 1.08 times.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes SBR will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and established market  position.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward factors
* Strong revenue growth of over 25% y-o-y, mainly driven by non-sugar business segments while maintaining stable operating efficiencies and healthy cash accruals
* Improvement in working capital cycle or sizable monetization of investments
 
Downward factors
* Lower than expected revenue or operating profitability leading to cash accruals of below Rs. 3 crore
* Stretch in working capital cycle, or larger capex weakening the liquidity
