Acuité has reaffirmed its long term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB’ (read as ACUITE triple B) on the Rs.87.50 Cr bank facilities of Avinash Developers Private Limited (ADPL). The outlook remains ‘Stable'.
Acuité has assigned the long term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB’ (read as ACUITE triple B) on the Rs.330.00 Cr bank facilities of Avinash Developers Private Limited (ADPL). The outlook is ‘Stable'. Rationale for reaffirmation The rating reaffirmation takes into account the steady cash flows from its completed as well as ongoing projects. The cash inflows from its projects stood at Rs.368.52 in FY2023 (Provisional) as against the cash outflows of Rs.222.93 Cr, thereby having a surplus of Rs.145.59. The DCSR stood strong at 3.75 times over the same period. The rating also considers the long operational track record of the group and the experienced management. Furthermore, the rating derives comfort from the willingness of the promoters to support the business through regular infusion of funds in the form of unsecured loans. The group over the years has infused Rs.102.59 Cr till now to support their business operations. However, these strengths are, offset by the risk of project execution and exposure to the risks in the real estate industry. |

Key Rating Drivers
| Strengths |
| Experienced management and long operational track record
Avinash group has a long operational track record in the real estate industry for more than two decades. In addition to this, the promoters Mr. Anand Kumar Singhania and Mr. Mukesh Singhania are highly experienced and actively involved in the operations of the group. Acuité believes that the long operational track record of the group and promoter’s extensive understanding and expertise will support the group’s growth plans going forward. Steady cash flow The group has steady cash inflows from the rental income generating from Magento mall, customer advance received from the ongoing projects and booking money received from completed projects. The total cash inflow of the group during FY23 is estimated at Rs.368.52 Cs as against a total outflow of Rs.222.93 Cr, thereby having a surplus of Rs.145.59 Cr and a DSCR of 3.75 times which is expected to improve significantly going forward. The group has committed receivables from its sold inventory worth Rs.641.24 Cr and is expected to receive Rs.1591.23 Cr from its unsold inventory. In addition to this, Rs.99.14 Cr is expected to be received from the unsold inventory of completed projects. Acuité believes that the timely receipt of customer advances and booking money received would be key monitorable going forward. Financial flexibility of the group The group has a willingness to support their businesses, demonstrated from the continuous infusion of unsecured loans into the business. The group over the years has infused Rs.102.59 Cr till now to support their business operations. Acuité believes that the group shall continue to benefit from the financial, operational and management support from the promoters as and when required. |
| Weaknesses |
| Moderate financial risk profile
The group’s moderate financial risk profile is marked by healthy networth, modest gearing and moderate debt protection metrics. The tangible net worth of the group decreased to Rs.266.03 Cr as on March 31, 2022 from Rs.269.84 Cr as on March 31, 2021 on account of decrease in the reserves. Gearing of the group stood moderate at 1.28 times as on March 31, 2022 as against 1.09 times as on March 31, 2021. The moderate debt protection metrics of the group is marked by Interest Service Coverage Ratio (ICR) at 1.41 times and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio at 0.95 times as on March 31, 2022. Acuité believes that financial risk profile of the group is expected to improve over the medium term on account of the gradually improving cash accruals. Exposure to the risks in the Real Estate Industry Real estate projects are prone to varying degrees of uncertainty, both at the macro-level, which affects the economy as a whole and at the sector level. The projects are prone to local, state, and national laws and regulations (governing acquisition, construction and development of land, etc.). Failure to comply with such rules and regulations often lead to delays or in the worst case, complete closure of the project; all of which may lead to a complete or partial loss of capital invested. Real estate sector is also highly susceptible to economic cycles. Health of an economy in terms of GDP, employment data, manufacturing activity, prices of goods, etc. affects the value of real estate in such a way that when economy is sluggish real estate sector is affected in a similar way. |

| Liquidity Position: Adequate |

The promoters have provided fund in the form of unsecured loan to the group from time to time as required; which provides financial flexibility to the company. The total cash inflow of the group during FY2023 is estimated at Rs.368.52 Cs as against a total outflow of Rs.222.93 Cr, thereby having a surplus of Rs.145.59 Cr and a DSCR of 3.75 times against which the company has a long term debt repayment of Rs.12.40 Cr. The shortfall in repayment, have been met from the cash flow of the under construction projects. The fund based limit remains utilised at around 88 per cent over the six months ended March, 2023. The current ratio stood strong at 2.45 times as on March 31, 2022 as compared to 2.41 times as on March 31, 2021.
Acuité believes that going forward the group's liquidity position will improve due to steady accruals backed by improvement in revenue realization. |
