Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has reaffirmed and withdrawn its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB-’ (read as ACUITE triple B minus) and the short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A3’ (read as ACUITE A three) on the Rs. 56.15 Crore bank facilities of Galaxy Mining and Royalties Private Limited (GMRPL).
The withdrawal is on account of client's request and receipt of NOC from the bankers. The withdrawal is in accordance with Acuité's policy on withdrawal of rating as applicable to the respective facility / instrument. Rationale for reaffirmation The rating reaffirmation continues to factor in the long standing experience of the promotors and established track record of operations of the group. The rating reaffirmation further takes into consideration the improvement recorded in the group’s operating performance marked by revenue growth of 39.07 % in FY2023 to Rs.724.55 Crore from Rs. 520.99 Crore in FY2022. However, the operating margins moderately declined in FY2023 and stood at 6.34 per cent as against 7.63 per cent in FY2022. The rating further considers the moderate financial risk profile and efficient working capital operations of the group as indicated by the low gearing levels and low GCA days respectively. However, the rating is constrained by the group’s tender based nature of operations. |

| Note on Complexity Levels of the Rated Instrument |
|
In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’ s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk.
