BWR has principally relied upon the audited financials of HTPL upto FY 14 and projections,
publicly available information and information/clarifications provided by the Company.
The rating upgrade factors positively the improvement in the financial performance during
FY14, satisfactory provisional sales as on Nov 2014 and healthy order book position. The rating
continues to draw strength from the long established presence of the group in trading
operations in the dyestuff industry, strong promoters profile and strong association with
diversified and established customers, improving trend reflected in the capital structure and
profitability of the Company.
The ratings are however constrained by low profitability of the Company due to trading nature
and high working capital intensity of operations, high level of competition in the industry and
susceptibility of HTPL’s profits to volatile commodity price fluctuations.
