Credit Rating

Explanation

Rating Comments

A+

Low Risk

Business dealings permissible with low risk of default

 

Status :

Good

 

 

Payment Behaviour :

Regular

 

 

Litigation :

Clear

 

 

Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1980 and it is a manufacturer and processors of packet tea.

 

As per financials of March 2017, the company has registered a growth of 5.74% in its revenue as compared to its previous year’s revenue and has reported good profit margin of 7.18%.

 

Rating takes into consideration the company’s established track record of business operations marked by sound net worth along with strong debt coverage indicators and good liquidity position.

 

Rating also takes into account established position in the domestic market as a third largest player with brand name of “Waghbakri” and strong distribution network of the company.

 

Further, the company has reported a good earnings per share of INR 21.33 against its face value of INR 10.

 

However, rating strength is partially offset by susceptibility of profitability to volatile bulk tea prices.

 

Payments terms seems to be regular.

 

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

TEA SCENARIO

 

The new season cropped well in March/April and prices rose momentarily. As the season started picking up, there was abundance of plainer/medium category available in the North Indian markets resulted in lower levels. However, South India continued to remain bullish due to strong export demand. With the overall quality table having dropped, there was good demand for the better teas through the season but weather plays important role in delivering quantity and quality of tea crop. Due to adverse weather conditions, the crop was abundant but its quality was lower and not up to the mark. Hence, it saw subdued price for teas which used to be segmental as quality teas.

 

The All India crop for the calendar year 2016 closed at 1267 M Kgs as against 1209 M Kgs in 2015 thereby having an increase of 58 M Kgs. This comprised of an increase of 74 M Kgs from North India from mainly the Dooars and Terai belt and nominal increase in Assam and Cachar. South India crop was negative by 15 M Kgs. The back end excess in crop dampened the market sentiments with the progress of the season and closed the year on a bearish note.

 

Orthodox production in North India during 2016 increased to 42 M Kgs as against 35 M Kgs in 2015 due to better price realisation.

 

Exports during the period stood at 223 M Kgs as against 229 M Kgs the year before.

 

On the Global front, Kenyan crop was ahead by 74 M kgs with bearish prices, while Srilanka was behind by 36 M Kgs with buoyant prices. Bangladesh was ahead by 16 M Kgs while Malwai and Indonesia were behind by 17 M kgs and 16 M Kgs respectively. Cumulatively the black tea market was ahead by 68 M Kgs and this comprised largely of the plainer quality of teas.

 

Due to lower crops of South India, its averages closed at INR 22.190 above 2015 levels. This held the bottom end of the market with greater demand from the major blenders and exporters who were active for the plainer/medium teas.

 

In the speciality segment, we are witnessing an improved demand for Green tea and HWS/CWS. With GST most likely to be rolled out in 2017, the impact remains uncertain.

 

FINANCE

 

The net worth of the Company as at March 31, 2017 stood at INR 3947.800 Million and the book value of Equity Share of the Company worked out to be INR 113.26 per share of INR 10/- each.
