| Rating Rationale |
|
Acuite has assigned its long term rating of 'ACUITE BBB-'(read as ACUITE triple B minus) and short term rating of ACUITE A3 (read as ACUITE A three) on the Rs.58 Crore bank facilities of Siyaram Granito Private Limited (SGPL). The outlook is 'Stable'.
Rationale for Rating The rating assigned 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(Provisional) 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 below unity gearing at 0.99 times as on March 31, 2023 (Prov) and above average debt protection metrics with DCSR stood at 1.64 times as on March 31, 2023 (Prov). 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. |

Further, the EBITDA Margin of the company stood at 14.15% in FY23 (Provisional) 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 of Rs.165 crore in coming year on an account of full fledge operations of the new line of business. Acuite believes that operation of the company may continue to improve over the medium term backed by commencement of new line of business.

| Weaknesses |
| Working capital intensive operations
The working capital operations of the company are intensive marked by high GCA days which stood at 198 days as on March 31, 2023 (Provisional) against 215 days as on March 31, 2022. The GCA days of the company has improved on an account of efficient inventory management which stood at 61 days in as on March 31, 2023 (Provisional) as compared to 80 days as on March 31, 2022. The average inventory days maintained by the company is approximately around 60 days.

On the other hand, the creditor days of the company stood at 171 days as on March 31, 2023 (Provisional) 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. |

| Outlook: Stable |
|
Acuité believes that SGPL will continue to benefit over the medium term due to its “established market position and established relations with its customers, moderate financial risk profile and will maintain a ‘Stable’ outlook and benefit over the medium term from its promoter’s extensive industry experience. 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. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the working capital cycle further deteriorates due to stretch in payment realisation from customers or if the company undertakes significant debt funded capex leading to deterioration in its financial risk profile, especially liquidity.
