Detailed Rationale

 CRISIL has downgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Shiwalya Spinning and Weaving Mills Pvt Ltd (SPWMPL) to 'CRISIL BB+/Stable/CRISIL A4+' from 'CRISIL BBB-/Stable/CRISIL A3'.

The downgrade reflects the weakening in the company's business risk profile marked by fluctuating operating profitability in the three years ended fiscal 2019 and moderated growth in revenue. Operations are working capital intensive and remain susceptible to volatility in raw material prices and exposure to intense competition as well as to fluctuations in foreign currency. For fiscal 2020, growth in revenues are expected to continue to be muted, while cash accruals might also remain moderate. Further, liquidity profile is subdued as reflected in bank limits remaining almost entirely utilised leading to limited cushion for incremental working capital requirements.

The ratings are driven by the established presence of the company in the textile industry and above-average financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by the fluctuating operating profitability, susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices, exposure to stiff competition and working capital-intensive operations.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Established presence in the textile industry: Benefits from the promoters' experience of over 25 years and established relations with customers and suppliers should continue to support the business. Further, despite change in product profile in fiscal 2017, the company has been able to improve realisations, reflecting the management's strong abilities.

* Above average financial risk profile: Financial risk profile is comfortable as reflected by overall gearing of 0.7 time as on March 31, 2019 (0.55 time as on March 31, 2018). However, debt coverage indicators remain moderate, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios of 1.97 times and 0.12 time, respectively, in fiscal 2019.

Weaknesses
* Fluctuating operating profitability amid susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices and exposure to stiff competition: Operating profitability has declined over the past three years and stood at 6.4% in fiscal 2019 (7.0% in fiscal 2018 and 7.6% in 2017). Further, polyester and acrylic staple fibre, the key raw materials, are crude oil derivatives and their prices depend on crude prices, which are volatile. Fluctuation in cotton prices also affects the raw material prices and demand for acrylic yarn. Further, the company is also exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency as it has started export sales in fiscal 2019 (contributing around 22%) while also importing raw material (contributed 31% of total consumption in fiscal 2019 as against 18% in fiscal 2018).

* Working capital-intensive operations: Gross current assets (GCAs) were 134 days as on March 31, 2019 while debtor and inventory days were 36 and 82, respectively. Commensurate to low bargaining power of the company, credit of 5 days was received from the suppliers.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity is adequate. Cash accrual, expected at Rs 1 crore each in fiscals 2020 and 2021 should comfortably cover annual debt obligation of Rs 60-75 lakh. Bank limit utilisation has been high at around 90% in the 12 months through December 2019. Current ratio was healthy at 2.15 times as on March 31, 2019.Moreover, need-based funding support from the promoters is expected to continue.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes SPWMPL will continue to benefit from its established presence in the textile industry.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward Factors:
* Improvement in scale of operations and stable operating margin, leading to higher cash accruals
* Efficient working capital management, with GCAs improving to 90 days
 
Downward Factors:
* Decline in profitability by 100 basis points or stretch in working capital cycle
* Large debt-funded capital expenditure weakens capital structure
* Increase in working capital requirements weakening the financial risk profile, especially liquidity
