Detailed Rationale

CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Sybly Industries Limited (SIL; a part of the Sybly group) remains on 'Rating Watch with Developing Implications'.

The rating was placed on watch on August 28, 2017 following demerger announcement of SIL's wholly owned subsidiary, Sybly International FZE (SI). With the demerger of SI, a new company would be formed namely, Space Incubatrics Technologies Ltd.

Also, the two other companies of SIL's promoters namely Vartex Fabrics Pvt. Ltd and Dux Textiles Pvt. Ltd are in the process of getting merged with SIL. The purpose of the merger is to achieve greater efficiencies in operations with optimum utilization of resources, better administration and reduced cost.

The scheme of arrangement among SIL (Demerged Company/ Transferee Company) and Space Incubatrics Technologies Limited (Resulting Company) and Vartex Fabrics Private Limited (Transferor Company 1) and Dux Textiles Private Limited (Transferor Company 2) and their respective shareholders has been approved by NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal). The trading approval dated 27-June-2018 has been received and the trading of shares of the company have resumed i.e. 2nd July 2018.

CRISIL is closely monitoring the outcome of the demerger and the merger of two of the group companies and its implications on the business and financial risk profiles of the company. The rating will be removed from watch and a final rating action taken once CRISIL has more clarity regarding the demerger and merger.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the rating, CRISIL combines the business and financial risk profiles of SIL and its wholly owned subsidiary, SI, together referred to herein as the Sybly group. 

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weaknesses:
* Small scale of operations in fragmented textiles industry: Despite being in the textile industry for over 25 years, the group's operations are small with income of Rs 35.63 crore in fiscal 2018. This prevents the group from exploiting economies of scale and limits the pricing power with suppliers and customers, adversely impacting the working capital cycle and operating margin.

* Susceptibility to fluctuations in raw material prices: The operating margin will remain susceptible to the price of Polyester Staple Fibre, which is a crude derivative and the major raw material.

* Working capital-intensive operations: Liquidity is constrained by high debtors of around 120 days as on March 31, 2018. Liquidity will remain dependent on debtor realisations, the profile will remain stretched.

Strength
* Experience of promoters: Benefits from the promoters' experience (over 30 years) and established strong relationships with dealers, suppliers and customers should continue to support the business.
