Rating Rationale

Acuité has reaffirmed and assigned the long-term rating 'ACUITE BBB-' (read as ACUITE triple B Minus) and the short-term rating ‘ACUITE A3’ (read as ACUITE A three) on the Rs.68.00 crore bank facilities of Siyaram Granito Private Limited (SGPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for Rating
The reaffirmation in rating takes into account the established track record of operations and experienced management of more than a decade in ceramic industry. Further, the rating takes into consideration growing revenue which stood at Rs.132.97 Crore in FY23 against Rs.72.89 Crore in FY22 and Rs.62.09 Crore in FY21. The increase revenue is contributed by company’s recently completed capital expenditure related to second line of business of glazed vitrified tiles. Further, the rating factors in moderate financial risk profile characterized by moderate gearing at 1.01 times as on March 31, 2023 and above average debt protection metrics with DCSR stood at 1.54 times as on March 31, 2023. These strengths are however, partly offset by the moderately intensive working capital nature of operations marked by elongated receivables and fragmented industry characterized by intense competition and vulnerability in the margins due to fluctuations in the raw material prices.

The company has recorded a turnover of Rs.132.97 Crore in FY23 against Rs.72.89 Crore in FY22 and Rs.62.09 Crore in FY21. The significant growth in turnover in FY23 is due to commencement of second line of business of glazed vitrified tiles on October 2022 which has resulted in increased volume sales and increase in topline is also contributed by better price realization of each product. Further, the EBITDA Margin of the company stood at 13.57% in FY23 against 11.23% in FY22. The margins of the company are increasing due to addition of new business line. The company is expected to generate top line under the range of Rs.180 crore in succeeding years on an account of full fledge operations of the new line of business.

Weaknesses
Working capital intensive operations

On the other hand, the creditor days of the company stood at 168 days as on March 31, 2023 against 196 days as on March 31, 2022. Acuite believes that working capital operations of the company may continue to remain intensive considering the nature of business.

Volatility in Input Prices
Volatility in input costs is a frequent issue the ceramic sector faces. This volatility can be due to a number of things, including changes in the cost of energy, transportation, and raw material costs. Additionally, depending on factors including availability, demand-supply dynamics, and geological conditions, clay prices can fluctuate widely. Any alteration in these variables may result in variations in clay pricing, which will directly affect the input costs for makers of ceramic products. Overall, to remain competitive in the market, makers of ceramics must continually evaluate and handle the problem of input price fluctuation.

The rating outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of sustainable growth in revenues while maintaining its profitability and improvement in working capital operations.
