9. Long term credit rating has been upgraded by ICRA on March 2022.
a. The upgrade of the long-term rating of Apcotex Industries Limited (AIL) factors in ICRA’s expectations that the company will be able to maintain a healthy financial performance, led by consistent revenue growth and a sustained margin profile. While the prices of raw materials have increased substantially in the current fiscal, the company passed on the same to its customers and hence was able to sustain the operating margins in a range of 13-16% in the last four quarters. The company is undertaking sizeable capex, which is likely to drive revenue growth, apart from diversifying the product mix and customer mix.
b. The ratings continue to draw comfort from a healthy capital structure and debt protection metrics due to strong tangible net worth and limited reliance on debt. While the metrics are likely to moderate due to the ongoing planned capex, they are likely to remain comfortable. The company’s liquidity profile has remained strong due to healthy operational cash flows and availability of healthy cash and investments. The rating draws comfort from AIL’s strong market position in the synthetic rubber and synthetic latex segments in India and its promoter background with an experience of more than three decades in the industry. The ratings factor in the company’s diversified customer base across various end-user industries.
10. Risk:
60-70% of the company's operating cost comprises of raw materials. Its main raw materials are Butadiene, Styrene and Acrylonitrile. These raw materials are petroleum derivates and hence their prices fluctuate with crude prices.
