Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its ‘CRISIL BB+/Stable’ rating on the long-term bank facilities of Swaraj Suiting Limited (SSPL; a part of Swaraj Suiting Group).

 

The rating reflects the extensive experience of Swaraj Suiting group’s promoters and its above-average debt protection metrics. These strengths are partially offset by exposure to moderately leveraged capital structure and large working capital requirement.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings has consolidated the business and financial risk profiles of SSPL and Cyan Textile Pvt Ltd (CTPL). That is because both the entities, collectively referred to as the Swaraj Suiting group, have a common management and line of business, in addition to financial fungibility.

 

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:

  • Extensive experience of the promoters and established clientele base: Benefits from the promoters’ experience of over three decades, their in-depth understanding of market dynamics and established relationships with suppliers and customers should continue to support the business. The group supplies to established clientele base such as Arvind Ltd etc.

 

  • Above-average debt protection metrics: Above average debt protection metrics with interest cover and NCAAD of about 2.93 times and 0.13 times respectively as on 31st, March,2021. Inspite of debt being taken for capital expenditure, the debt protection metrics are expected to remain comfortable on account of subsidies and higher profitability levels.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Moderately leveraged capital structure: The group capital structure remains moderately leveraged as reflected in gearing and TOLTNW levels at about 1.35 times and 1.73 times respectively as on March 31, 2021. The group is in process of incurring debt funded capital expenditure to the tune of around Rs. 62 crore and its implementation and stabilisation of operations remains a key monitorable. Going ahead marginal increase in gearing level is expected.

 

  • Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets are around 317 days as on 31st March 2021, owing to debtor’s days of 120-140 days and high inventory of about more than 150-200 days. On the other hand, limited credit is received from suppliers, resulting in high reliance on bank debt. In current fiscal the working capital cycle has improved on account of tightening of credit cycle and moderation in inventory levels.

Liquidity: Adequate

Liquidity is expected to be adequate over the medium term. Cash accrual, expected at Rs 18-20 crore per annum, would be sufficient to meet debt obligation of Rs 11-12 crore per annum, over the medium term. Promoters funding in the form of unsecured loans and equity infusion, also supports liquidity. Bank limits were highly utilised at about 93 percent for fund based limit of Rs. 17 crore for past twelve months ended Dec-21. Current ratio remains moderately healthy at about 1.75 times as on March 31, 2021, is expected to remain at similar levels.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes Swaraj Suiting group will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters.

Rating Sensitivity Factors

Upward factors:

  • Ease in liquidity underpinned cushion in bank limit utilisation.
  • Stabilisation of operations for new facility and improvement in working capital led by GCA below 200 days

 

Downward factors:

  • Ratio of cash accruals vs. repayment falling below 1.3 times.
  • Stretch in the working capital cycle.
