Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

­Experienced management:
The company is being managed by Mr. Kottala Zameer Ahammed, Mr. Mangala Sachin Salva, Mr. Sunil Kumar Ghanathe and others who possess an average experience of 35 years from fields such as banking, infrastructure and IT. The management's extensive experience has helped maintaining customer base in USA for software business. The company also undertakes LED display units assembly orders and currently has ~Rs.37 Cr. orders for this segment. Acuite believes, the experience of the management will help in improving the business risk profile of the company.

Healthy financial risk profile:
TIL’s financial risk profile is healthy marked by healthy net worth, low gearing and healthy debt protection metrics. The net worth of the company improved to Rs.88.68 Cr. as on March 31, 2025 from Rs.46.25 Cr. as on March 31, 2024 and Rs.17.04 Cr. as on March 31, 2023, due to equity infusion equity infusion, increase in securities premium and accretion of profits to the reserves. The total debt levels, comprising equipment loans, remained nominal at Rs.2.85 Cr. as on March 31, 2025 as against Rs.1.86 Cr. as on March 31, 2024 and Rs.0.28 Cr. as on March 31, 2023. The improved net worth led to healthy gearing of 0.03 times as on March 31, 2025 as against 0.05 times as on March 31, 2024. Similarly, the total outside liabilities to tangible net worth (TOL/TNW) stood at 0.05 times as on March 31, 2025 against 0.10 times as on March 31, 2024 and 0.18 times as on March 31, 2023. The debt protection metrics stood healthy with debt service coverage (DSCR) and interest coverage ratio (ICR) of 35.37 times and 38.73 times respectively as on March 31, 2025.
Acuite believes that the financial risk profile of the company is expected to remain healthy over the medium-term.


Weaknesses

Small scale of operations:
TIL’s revenue stood at Rs.27.02 Cr. in FY2025 as against Rs.44.05 Cr. in FY2024 and Rs.14.73 Cr. in FY2023. The company’s revenue increased during FY2024 due to product diversification. However, termination of new contracts with one of the prime customers during the year led to decline in revenue for FY2025. Further, the company registered revenue of Rs.4.97 Cr. in Q1FY2026 which is similar to Q1FY2025 revenue and expected to close the year with the revenue of Rs.40-45 Cr. The operating profit margins of the company are improving consistently with 29.57 percent in FY2025 against 22.67 percent in FY2024 and 20.91 percent in FY2023. As the company operates in niche segment and software services which usually yields margin of 25-30 percent. Similarly, PAT margin improved consistently with 14.70 percent in FY2025 against 12.78 percent in FY2024 and 11.89 percent in FY2023. Further during the Q1FY2026 the company registered operating profit margin of ~32 percent and PAT margin of 12.88 percent.
Acuite expects the company’s operations to remain modest level over the medium term.

Working capital Intensive operations:
The company’s working capital operations remained intensive in nature, as evident from the gross current asset days (GCA) days ranging between 91-766 over the past three years ending March 31, 2025. The elongation of GCA days was primarily driven by high debtor levels, which stood at 177 days as on March 31, 2025 against 59 days as on March 31, 2024. The company generally maintains a credit policy of 60-120 days for software clients. However, due to termination of contract during the year, led to pending of receivables. Additionally, increase in other current assets in form of advances to suppliers during the last quarter of FY2025 further stretched GCA levels. Consequently, current ratio increased to 36.31 times as on March 31, 2025 as against 5.60 times as on March 31, 2024 and 1.25 times as on March 31, 2023. The company majorly utilizes cash accruals and bank balances for its day to day operations. Acuite believes the working capital operations of the company will remain moderately intensive over the medium term due to the nature of operations.
