Rationale The revision in outlook on the long-term rating considers the moderation in Pricol Engineering Industries Limited’s (PEIL) operating income (OI) and margins in FY2020 and the muted performance expected in FY2021. PEIL derives 57% of its revenues from the auto component segment (catering to all sub-segments except 2W) and the remaining from defence and railways. As a result of the auto slowdown and volatility in tender-based orders in railways and defence, PEIL’s OI declined to Rs. 74.2 crore in 9M FY2020 (by 9.2% on annualised basis). While the loss of business because of the lockdown in March 2020 is estimated to have resulted in double-digit revenue decline in FY2020, the revenues are expected moderate further in FY2021 because of the lockdown impact for 40 days and muted demand outlook across auto segments with weakening liquidity and poor consumer sentiments, and volatility in revenues from defence/railways due to tender-based orders. The company’s operating margins remained thin at 3.9% in 9M FY2020, weaker than the 5.5% in FY2019, given the high proportion of revenues from the relatively low-margin auto component segment and weaker absorption of costs with lower revenues. Going forward, the margins would remain susceptible to unfavourable movement in electronic component prices and 1 unfavourable fluctuations in exchange rates (PEIL is a net importer). However, the accommodative commodity prices and the company’s cost saving initiatives on several fronts such as rentals, employee costs are likely to cap the margin decline. PEIL’s debt metrics also remain weak, with debt/OPBIDTA of 3.3x as on December 31, 2019 (2.6x as on March 31, 2019) due to the low accruals. PEIL has Rs. 3.2 crore of repayment obligations and discretionary capex of up to Rs. 1.0 crore for FY2021. In relation to this, the company had cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 2.0 crore and undrawn working capital limit of Rs. 2.6 crore as on May 31, 2020. ICRA expects the company to meet its near-term and medium-term commitments through internal sources of cash and debt, and financial support from the promoters if required. The ratings take into account from the company’s diversified product profile comprising of hull electrical equipment, driver panels and instrumental clusters, cable accessories, alternators, wind shield washer kits and oil pressure switches catered to auto components, defence and railways. PEIL sells its products under the ‘Pricol’ brand, which has relatively strong brand equity in the Indian auto industry. While the company has an established customer base comprising of Tata Motors Limited (rated [ICRA]AA-(Negative)/ [ICRA]A1+), Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (rated [ICRA]AAA (Stable)/ [ICRA]A1+) and Daimler India Commercial Vehicles Private Limited, its high customer concentration with top 5 customers contributing to 64% of revenues in 9M FY2020, results in potential vulnerability of revenues to slowdown in orders from the clients or attrition to competition. Key rating drivers and their description Credit strengths Diversified product portfolio with presence in the auto component, railways and defence - PEIL has presence in the defence (18% of revenues in 9M FY2020), railways (25% of revenues in 9M FY2020) and auto component segment (57% of revenues in 9M FY2020). PEIL sells its products under the ‘Pricol’ brand, which has relatively strong brand equity in the Indian auto industry. Its product portfolio comprises various products such as cable accessories (22% of revenues in 9M FY2020), alternators (36%), oil pressure switches (9%) and balance 33% revenues were derived from wind shield washer kits, hull electrical equipment, driver panels and instrumental clusters. PEIL was earlier catering to defence and railways; and started catering to auto component industries since September 2017 post acquisition of non-wiping business from PMP Auto Components Private Limited. The diversification mitigates risks arising from revenue decline from any single product/segment to an extent. Reputed client profile - The company’s client profile comprises of auto original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Tata Motors Limited (rated [ICRA]AA-(Negative)/[ICRA]A1+), Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited, Mahindra & Mahindra Limited (rated [ICRA]AAA (Stable)/[ICRA]A1+) and Daimler India Commercial Vehicles Private Limited to name a few. PEIL supplies to Indian Railways through Integral Coach Factory, Chennai and Defence through Ordnance Factory, Medak. 2 Credit challenges Decline in revenues expected because of Covid-19 pandemic; volatility in revenues from railways and defence as the orders are tender based – PEIL derives 57% of revenues from the auto component industry, catering to all sub- segments except 2W. The Covid-19 outbreak and consequent lockdown has significantly impacted auto component demand in the last few months. Further, weakening liquidity and poor consumer sentiments are expected to significantly impact the auto component segment over the next few months. Orders from Railways and defence are dependent on price-sensitive tenders and are expected to remain volatile, akin to the past. As a result, PEIL is estimated to have reported double-digit revenue decline in FY2020 and the top-line is expected to moderate further in FY2021 impacted by the lockdown, muted demand outlook across auto segments and volatility in revenues from defence/railways. Modest scale of operations; thin margins and weak coverage metrics - PEIL has relatively modest scale of operations, with an operating income of Rs. 109.1 crore in FY2019 and Rs. 74.2 crore in 9M FY2020, despite significant improvement from Rs. 26.4 crore in FY2017 post the acquisition. However, the margins have declined over the last few years from 18.5% in FY2017 to 3.9% in 9M FY2020. The increase in proportion of revenues from the relatively low-margin auto component segment and weaker absorption of costs with lower revenues led to the margin decline in 9M FY2020. The company’s margins would be susceptible to unfavourable movement in electronic component prices which form a meaningful proportion of raw material costs and unfavourable fluctuations in exchange rates (PEIL is a net importer) in FY2021. However, the accommodative commodity prices and the company’s cost saving initiatives on several fronts such as rentals, employee costs are likely to cap the margin decline. PEIL’s coverage metrics also remain stretched with debt/OPBITDA of 3.3x as on December 31, 2019 (2.6x as on March 31, 2019). Relatively high customer concentration - PEIL’s concentration with its top five customers remained high at 64% for 9M FY2020, indicating vulnerability of revenues to any slowdown in orders from the clients or attrition to competition. Nevertheless, its established customer relationships and history of repeat orders mitigates the risk to an extent. Liquidity position: Stretched The company’s liquidity remains stretched with fund flow from operations of Rs. 3.9 crore in FY2019, cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 2.0 crore and undrawn working capital limit of Rs. 2.6 crore as on May 31, 2020. PEIL’s working capital utilization was at 84% of sanctioned limits for the 12-month period ended December 2019. In relation to these sources of cash, PEIL has discretionary capex of up to Rs. 1.0 crore and term loan repayments of Rs. 3.2 crore and Rs. 2.0 crore, respectively in FY2021 and FY2022. ICRA expects the company to meet its near-term and medium-term commitments through internal sources of cash and debt, and financial support from the promoters if required. Rating sensitivities Positive triggers – An upgrade in ratings is unlikely in the near-term due to business disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. PEIL’s ratings may however be upgraded with sustained improvement in revenues and margins coupled with debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) above 1.4x on a sustained basis. 3 Negative triggers – Pressure on PEIL’s ratings could arise in case of deterioration in liquidity and coverage metrics arising from significant moderation in revenues and margins. Analytical approach Analytical Approach Comments Applicable Rating Methodologies Corporate Credit Rating Methodology Parent/Group Support Not applicable Consolidation/Standalone The ratings are based on the standalone financial profile of the company. About the company Pricol Engineering Industries Limited (PEIL) manufactures instrument clusters (IC)/ driver control panels, hull electrical equipment for tanks and armored vehicles, alternators, wind shield washer kits and oil pressure switches, catering to defence, railways and auto component sectors.

It is being observed that more Foreign direct investments (FDI) is been attracted towards this sector paving way to several foreign companies to form partnership with Indian players in turn steepening demand for high performance trucks. On the contrary the seasonal bus sales continues to witness 20% drop in sales compared to previous year quarter FY2016/17(Oct-Dec), mainly owing to weaker market demands. Weaker demands are due to pre-bookings done in the previous years aimed to negate the upsurge in bus & coach price owing to various factors like the bus body code, emission change over, other regulatory fitments getting mandated. We expect the situation to continue in the next quarters until we have new purchase mandates from government like the JnNURM schemes of the last season.

    Pricol Limited(erstwhile Pricol Pune Limited) April 12, 2019 Summary of rated instruments Previously Rated Current Rated Instrument* Amount Amount Rating Action (Rs. crore) (Rs. crore) Term loans 31.66 148.26 [ICRA]BBB(Negative); revised Long-term fund-based 145.00 145.00 from [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable) Long-term unallocated 77.34 0.74 Short-term non-fund based 21.00 21.00 [ICRA]A3+; revised from Short-term non-fund based (sublimit) (105.00) (105.00) [ICRA]A2 Total 275.00 315.00 *Instrument details in Annexure – I Rationale The revision in ratings considers the deterioration in Pricol’s consolidated financial profile during 9M FY2019 because of weak performance of the Brazil subsidiary, the recently acquired wiping systems business and the standalone entity in India. The company’s consolidated operating margins stood at 1.2% for 9M FY2019 (1.7% for FY2018), significantly weaker than the company’s and ICRA’s earlier estimates. At the net level, Pricol’s consolidated losses widened to 5.5% during 9M FY2019 from 3.0% in FY2018, as against a net turnaround expected earlier for FY2019. The margins were predominantly impacted by a) increase in input/raw material costs in the standalone business due to higher commodity prices, surge in prices of electronic components with global shortage, and adverse forex movement; b) lower-than- anticipated revenues in the Brazil subsidiary and consequent weak absorption of fixed costs; and c) weak performance of the Czech wiping systems business with slowdown in European PV sales in the recent months and Pricol’s inability to improve the entity’s cost structure, among others.
