Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has reaffirmed its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB-’ (read as ACUITE Triple B minus) on the Rs.176.00 crore bank facilities of B P Foods Products Private Limited. The outlook is ‘Stable’.
Rationale for rating The rating reaffirmation takes into consideration the established market position of the group in the FMCG industry and long and extensive experience of the promoters. The rating also factors in the improvement in the scale of operations, moderate financial risk profile reflected by low gearing which is below unity, along sufficient net cash accruals against the debt repayment obligation in the same period. However, these strengths of the group are partially offset by the group’s high reliance on working capital limits and thin profitability margins due to presence in a highly fragmented and competitive industry. Acuite further takes into account the volatility in commodity trade and group's ability to increase its production capacity utilization resulting into substantial improvement in revenue and profitability remains key rating monitorable. |

Highly fragmented and competitive industry The industry is marked by presence of large number of organized and unorganized players in the industry. The industry is intensely competitive and fragmented because of low entry barriers and moderate capital requirements. The high competitive industry further limits the pricing flexibility and exerts pressures on the margins of all participants. |
