CRISIL has assigned its ‘BBB+IStableIP2’ ratings to the bank facilities of Christy Friedgram Industry (CFI, part of the Christy group). The ratings reflect the Christy group’s established position in the production of weaning and energy-based, ready-to-eat foods under the integrated child development services (ICDS) scheme. The ratings also factor in the group’s healthy financial risk profile. These rating strengths are partially offset by the Christy group’s exposure to risks related to the tender-based nature of business, volatility in raw material prices, geographical concentration in revenue profile, and limited product diversity.

 

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of CFI, and Rasi Nutri Foods (Rasi), collectively referred as the Christy group, as Rasi and CFI are in the same line of business, are managed by the same promoter family, and have operational and financial linkages with each other.

 

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that the Christy group will continue to benefit from its established market position in the weaning foods industry, supported by steady cash accruals. The outlook may be revised to ‘Positive’ if the group substantially scales up its operations, and considerably improves its revenue diversity, while maintaining its profitability. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to Negative’ if the group’s financial risk profile deteriorates, because of steep decline in profitability, fresh large, debt-funded capital expenditure, adverse change in government policy on the implementation of the ICDS programme, or in case of significant withdrawal of capital by the promoters.

 

About the Group

The Christy group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs. 110 million on net sales of Rs.3.0 billion for 2008-09, against a PAT of Rs. 80 million on net sales of Rs.2.1 billion for 2007-08.
