Credit rating affirmations and assignments are important for a company's borrowing capacity and cost of debt. A stable rating suggests continued access to credit on favorable terms, which is moderately impactful for the company's operations and growth.
The credit rating affirmation and assignment of new limits by India Ratings & Research indicates a positive outlook on the company's financial health and future prospects.
Kross Limited (KL) has received a credit rating affirmation for its existing bank loan facilities and an assignment for additional limits from India Ratings & Research Private Limited. The existing facilities totaling INR 1,115 million have been affirmed with a rating of IND A/Stable/IND A1. Additionally, new bank loan facilities amounting to INR 179.5 million have been assigned the same rating of IND A/Stable/IND A1.
The rating reflects the agency's expectation of sustained revenue growth for KL in FY27-FY28, supported by healthy profitability and credit metrics. The company has demonstrated steady revenues and resilient operating profitability with rangebound EBITDA margins from FY24-FY26. Following its IPO, the proceeds were largely utilized to repay debt, significantly reducing interest burden and improving coverage indicators.
KL is investing in capacity expansion and new product development, expected to boost its top line from FY27 onwards. The company's deleveraged balance sheet and healthy cash reserves are anticipated to support its credit profile against potential downturns in the auto industry. Key strengths include improvement in scale of operations, operating margins, product diversification, established market position, and comfortable credit metrics. Weaknesses noted are the cyclical nature of the automobile industry.
Financially, KL reported revenue of INR 6,732 million in FY26, an 8.5% year-on-year increase. Its absolute EBITDA grew 8.2% year-on-year to INR 879 million in FY26. EBITDA margins remained stable at 13.1% in FY26. The company incurred capital expenditure of INR 1,002 million in FY26 for capacity expansion and new plant commissioning. Net adjusted leverage stood at 0.72x in FY26, and gross interest coverage improved to 10.9x.
