Rating Rationale
­Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating at ‘ACUITE A’ (read as ACUITE A) and the short term rating at 'ACUITE A1' (read as ACUITE A one) on the Rs.58.60 Cr. bank facilities of RMG Polyvinyl India Limited (RPIL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.
Acuité has assigned the long-term rating at ‘ACUITE A’ (read as ACUITE A) on the Rs.38.00 Cr. bank facilities of RMG Polyvinyl India Limited (RPIL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for reaffirmation
Reaffirmation of rating takes into account the established track record of operations, healthy financial risk profile and comfortable working capital management. Company has seen improvement in scale of operations wherein operating income stood at
Rs. 397.57 Cr in FY 2023 (Audited) registering growth of 12.65% over FY 2022 (Audited) wherein operating income stood at Rs. 352.94 Cr. However, company has witnessed decline in profitability due increase in raw material prices which has led to slight moderation in debt protection metrics. The company's profitability is linked to the volatility in raw material prices as can be seen from the past trends. The company has strong competition from other players in the industry. The company is going for a CAPEX of Rs. 40 Cr. in FY24 and the timely implementation and stabilization of the production remains a key monitorable.

The company currently has one manufacturing facility located in Sikandrabad, India with a current installed capacity of producing 55,000 MT per annum and is setting up a new plant in Tamil Nadu with total capital outlay of Rs. 40 Cr. Acuité believes that the company will sustain its existing business profile over the medium term on the back of an established track record of operations with an experienced management.
Healthy financial risk profile
Company has healthy financial risk profile marked by tangible net worth of Rs.145.62 crore as on 31 March, 2023 as against Rs. 126.49 crore as on 31 March, 2022. The improvement in net worth is attributable to accretion of profit to reserves.

Debt to Equity (Gearing) improved to 0.09 times as on 31st March 2023 as against 0.22 times on 31st March 2022 due to decrease in debt levels on account of repayment of LTD and lower utilization of working capital limits. Interest coverage ratio though declined from 22.68 times in FY 2022 it remained strong at 18.53 times in FY23. Likewise DSCR also declined from 10.40 times in FY 2022 however it remained strong at 6.38 times in FY 2023.

Average fund based bank limit utilization remained moderate at 49.34% and non-fund based bank limit utilization also remained moderate at 77.91% for the 17 months’ period ending August 2023.
Weaknesses
­Susceptibility of margins to raw material price fluctuation
As RPIL is engaged into manufacturing of PVC products, the major raw material required to manufacture such products is PVC resin which is a derivative of crude oil and the prices of crude oil are directly affected by various macroeconomic factors. Similarly, the prices of PVC resins are also volatile in nature and such fluctuations in the major raw material price may impact the operating profit margin of the company in future. High volatility in crude prices in past two fiscal was on account of pandemic and later due to Russia Ukraine war hence the margins saw sharp dip. Due to the aforesaid factor the company’s profitability saw dip in FY 2023. EBITDA margin declined from 12.91% in FY 2022 to 8.45% in FY 2023. The moderation is a result of increase in raw material cost and decrease in realization. PAT margin declined from 8.62% in FY 2022 to 5.60% in FY 2023. 

Competition from other organized and unorganied players
The company is facing strong competition from organized players as well as the unorganized players in the industry. Further, the company has competition from imported products traded in the country.

Liquidity Position

The company generated cash accruals of Rs. 29.58 crore in FY 2023 compared against maturing debt obligations of Rs. 2.85 crore over the same period. Average fund based bank limit utilization remained moderate at 49.34% and non-fund based bank limit utilization also remained moderate at 77.91% for the 17 months’ period ending August 2023 giving adequate legroom for growth capital in the form of unutilized bank limits. Further, the company has got enhancement of Rs. 5 Cr. in fund base facilities and 10 Cr. in NFB facilities providing addition legroom for growth capital.  Further, company’s debt equity position of 0.09 times in FY23 (Prov.) shows sufficient opportunity to manage funds for the capex without much compromising the comfortable capital structure of the company.

Outlook: Stable
­Acuite believes that RPIL will maintain a 'stable' outlook in the medium term and will continue to benefit over the medium term due to its experience management, established market position and healthy financial risk profile. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive', if the company demonstrates substantial and sustained growth in its revenues and operating margins from the current levels while maintaining comfortable capital structure. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative', if company generates lower-than anticipated revenue, profitability and cash accruals thereby impacting its financial risk profile & liquidity position.
