Jyoti CNC Automation Private Limited RATING HISTORY Maturity date Rs. 888.90 million Term Loans Rs. 450.00 million Fund based limit Rs. 210.00 million Fund based limit Rs. 160.00 million Non-Fund based limit ICRA has assigned an LBB+ (pronounced L Double B plus) rating to the Rs. 888.90 million term loans and Rs. 450.00 million fund based limits of Jyoti CNC Automation Private Limited (JCAPL), indicating inadequate credit quality†. ICRA has also assigned an A4+ (pronounced A Four plus) rating to the Rs. 210.00 million fund based and Rs. 160.00 million non-fund based limits of JCAPL, indicating risk-prone credit quality in the short term. JCAPL’s long term fund based limits (CC and term loan) up to Rs. 150.00 million are interchangeable with short term non-fund based limits (LC), long term fund based limits (CC) up to Rs. 280.00 million are interchangeable with short term fund based limits and short term fund based limits up to Rs. 45.00 million are interchangeable with long term fund based limits (CC). The ratings factor in the firm’s healthy operating margins, moderate gearing and established track record in the machine tool industry which is characterized by significant entry barriers. However, the firm has severe liquidity constraints on account of high inventory and an increase in export-led receivables which have resulted in excessive utilization of working capital limits. The ratings are also constrained by the firm’s weak cash flow indicators, For complete rating scale and definitions please refer to ICRA's Website www.icra.in or other ICRA Rating Publications † Rating Outstanding - significant contingent liabilities and risk associated with demand from key user industries over the short to medium term. Rajkot based JCAPL was established in the year 2001 and is a manufacturer of CNC metal cutting machines. JCAPL is promoted by Mr. Parakramsinh Jadeja, whose family has a 51% shareholding in the firm. JCAPL currently manufactures CNC Turning Lathes, Vertical Machining Centers (VMC), Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC) and Special Purpose Machines (SPM). In FY09, the firm recorded a net sale of Rs. 1.43 billion and a net income of Rs. 43.54 million. JCAPL has demonstrated strong design and execution capabilities and has a significant presence in the domestic machine tool industry. The ratings draw comfort from the long track record of the promoters in the industry. Prior to establishing JCAPL, Mr. Parakramsinh Jadeja was a partner in Jyoti Enterprise since 1989 which started off as a manufacturer of gear boxes for lathe machines and subsequently ventured into manufacturing CNC Turning and Milling machines. In November 2007, JCAPL acquired Huron Grafenstadden (Huron), a French company involved in supplying high end (4 and 5 axes) CNC milling machines to the aerospace and general engineering industry in Europe. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) was formed Previous Ratings August 2009 LBB+ LBB+ A4+ A4+ by JCAPL in France to acquire 100% shares of Huron. The ratings are constrained by the lack of adequate clarity on the financial strength of Huron and the conditional liability arising out of JCAPL’s action of guaranteeing repayment of a loan amounting to €11.25 million availed by its SPV in France to acquire Huron. JCAPL currently has three manufacturing units based in Rajkot spread over a total area of 3,36,000 sq meters. In order to achieve backward integration, the firm set up an in-house foundry, sheet metal plant and paint shop in FY08. Backward integration enabled the firm to reduce the sourcing time for critical raw materials and increase its production capacity from 500 machines in FY06 to 1500 machines in FY08. Significant debt funded capital expansion undertaken since FY06 led to an increase in the firm’s leverage. However, the firm’s ability to infuse equity on a regular basis has helped it maintain a moderate gearing level. JCAPL’s revenue grew at a CAGR of 37% since FY06 primarily on account of an increase in its production capacity. The revenue was fairly flat in FY09 due to a de-growth in the domestic market as the key user segments of automobiles and capital goods experienced a slowdown. However, the ratings draw comfort from JCAPL’s recent foray into component manufacturing and increase in business from the power and defence sector. The risk of slowdown in the domestic market was mitigated to some extent as the firm gained access to the export market of Europe through Huron’s dealer network. While the firm’s domestic sales in FY09 shrunk by around 16% as compared to FY08, export sales grew by around 55%. The firm derives export revenues mainly from sale of machines to its French subsidiary, Huron. The OPBDITA margins of the firm have steadily increased since FY06 with an average margin of around 15% from FY06 to FY09. This increase is primarily driven by a reduction in sourcing costs due to backward integration and an increase in the percentage of high margin exports. However, the firm’s ROCE has declined from 22% in FY07 to 11% in FY09 due to a slowdown in the firm’s revenue growth rate accompanied by significant capital expenditure. An increase in export sales has led to a subsequent increase in JCAPL’s debtor days. The firm’s debtor days increased from around 33 days at the end of FY07 to around 88 days at the end of FY09. The firm’s liquidity position has further worsened due to a significant increase in its inventory during the second half of FY09. The inventory days increased from around 173 days at the end of FY08 to around 325 days at the end of FY09. Deferment of delivery of existing orders during the second half of FY09 led to a significant increase in its work in progress and finished goods inventory. Due to a long manufacturing cycle time of its product, JCAPL’s ability to generate cash from operations is highly contingent on quicker recoveries from its customers and faster turnaround of inventory.
