Comments :

Subject is a subsidiary of “Leighton International Limited, Cayman Island”. The company undertakes construction contracts in the oil and gas, infrastructure, and real estate sectors.

 

For the financial year ended 2014, company has possesses moderate operational performance and incurred huge loss from its operational activities.

 

The ratings continue to reflect company’s established track record in executing complex construction projects and the strong operational and financial support that it receives from its holding entity. The ratings also factor in the company’s order book with higher-margin contracts, and its low working capital requirements.

 

Rating strengths is partially offset by its susceptibility to intense competition and to the cyclicality in the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) segment along with customer concentration in its order book and is exposed to delayed payments by customers leading to a stretched working capital cycle.

 

Trade relations are reported as fair. Business is active. Payments are reported to be slow but correct.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered good for normal business dealing at usual trade terms and conditions.
