Credit Rating

Explanation

Rating Comments

A+

Low Risk

Business dealings permissible with low risk of default

 

Maximum Credit Limit :

USD 8300000

 

 

Status :

Good

 

 

Payment Behaviour :

Regular

 

 

Litigation :

Clear

 

 

Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1940 and it is engaged in printing and publishing of books and newspapers.

 

As per financials of March 2017, the company has registered decent revenue from its operations and has reported good profit margin.

 

Rating takes into consideration the company’s long established track record of business operation marked by healthy financial risk profile along with low solvency indicators and good liquidity position.

 

Rating also takes into account the strong brand equity and established position of KSL’s flagship English daily, The Hindu in South India’s newspaper market.

 

Further, the company has reported a good Earnings Per Share of INR 737.30 against its face value of INR 100.

 

However, rating strength is partially offset by uncertainty around the dividend income from THG, which in turn is linked to THG's operating performance, and the cash outflow in the form of investments which KSL has to make in its subsidiaries.

 

Payment seems to be regular.

 

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

 

NOTE:

Scheme of Amalgamation between “Kasturi and Sons Limited” (Demerged Company) and “THG Publishing Private Limited” (Resulting Company) has been approved by National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on 29th August 2017.

 

The scheme provided for the demerger of the publishing business undertaking of demerged company into the resulting company w.e.f. from 1st April 2016.
