Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+' ratings on the bank loan facilities of Vivid Global Industries Ltd (VGIL).

 

The ratings continue to reflect the established relationships with customers, extensive experience of the promoters in the chemical industry and moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by the modest scale of operations and large working capital requirement.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL Ratings has evaluated the standalone business and financial risk profiles of VGIL.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Extensive experience of the promoters and their established relationships with customers: VGIL is expected to benefit from the three-decade-long presence of the promoters in the dye intermediaries segment, their strong understanding of market dynamics which has helped them successfully navigate several business cycles as well as  develop  healthy relationships with suppliers and customers. This enabled the company to achieve revenue of around Rs. 34-36 crore for the past two fiscals through fiscal 2024. VGIL’s business risk profile will continue to be supported by the extensive experience of the promoters.

 

  • Moderate financial risk profile: Networth was moderate at Rs 13.9 crore with gearing and total outside liabilities to adjusted networth ratio comfortable at 0.28 time and 1.01 times, respectively as on March 2024. Debt protection metrics were robust, with interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios of 3.25 times and 0.24 time, respectively, in fiscal 2024. Financial risk profile will remain stable over the medium term driven by steady accretion to reserves and in the absence on any large debt funded capex.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Modest scale of operations amid intense competition: Revenues declined to Rs 34.4 crore in fiscal 2024 from Rs 36 crore in fiscal 2023 due to lower demand primarily from international customers amidst the on-going political crisis. Impact of change in raw material prices on demand and operating margin will remain a rating sensitivity factor.

 

  • Large working capital requirement: Gross current assets (GCAs) remained at 160-230 days over the three fiscals through March 31, 2024, with inventory of 124 days and receivables of 72 days. Working capital is expected to be supported by payables of 131 days. Overall GCAs are expected to remain in a similar range over the medium term.

Liquidity: Stretched

Net cash accrual is expected at Rs 0.9-1 crore against minimal annual debt obligation of around Rs 3 lakh, for fiscal 2025 and 2026. Bank limit utilisation was 70% for the 12 months through June 2024. Cash and bank balance stood at Rs 2.02 crore as on March 31, 2024. The company has no major capex plans over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable

The company is expected to continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters and their established relationships with customers.

Rating sensitivity factors

Upward factors:

  • Significant increase in revenue while maintaining operating margin, leading to accrual of over Rs 4 crore on a sustained basis.
  • Improvement in working capital cycle.

 

Downward factors:

  • Decline in revenue or dip in operating margin on a sustained basis leading to cash accrual below Rs 90 lakh.
  • Large, debt-funded capex or stretched working capital cycle weakening financial risk profile and liquidity.
