Details of instruments/facilities in Annexure-1.
Rationale and key rating drivers
Reaffirmation of the ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Riba Textiles Limited (RTL) factor in moderate working capital
requirements of the company marked by average operating cycle of around ninety days. Ratings also derive strength from the
long-standing experience of its promoters as reflected in its diversified and reputed client base. Ratings further take comfort from
average financial risk profile of the company marked by comfortable capital structure and moderate debt coverage indicators
along with an adequate liquidity position. Ratings strengths are however offset by the presence of the company in a highly
competitive industry, thereby, limiting its bargaining power. Ratings are further constrained by the susceptibility of margins to
foreign exchange fluctuations risk and the geographical concentration risk faced by the company.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
« Increase in the scale of operations beyond Rs. 300 crores with Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of around 13% on a

Tax (PBILDT) below 3.00x on a sustained basis
Negative factors
* Any significant unplanned capex deteriorating the capital structure of the company marked by an overall gearing of above
1.00x
« Deterioration in the working capital cycle of the company due to increase in collection period beyond 70 days on sustained
basis
Analytical approach: Standalone
Outlook: Stable

from the long-standing experience of its promoters along with its reputed clientele.

RATINGS
Detailed description of key rating drivers:
Key strengths
Established presence in export-oriented home textile segment with diversified customer profile
RTL has an established track record in the manufacturing and export of terry towels, bathmats, bath robes and other home textile
products. The company has developed long-standing relationships with several international retailers, wholesalers and distributors
across geographies, enabling it to maintain a diversified customer base and repeat business. During FY26 (refers to April 01, 2025
to March 31, 2026), the top 10 customers accounted for approximately 34% of total operating income, indicating moderate
customer concentration and reducing dependence on any single buyer. The company derives a significant proportion of its revenue
from exports, with overseas sales accounting for around 89% of gross sales in FY26. While the United States continues to be an
important market, its contribution reduced to around 20% of total sales in FY26 from around 29% in FY25, reflecting
management’s efforts towards geographical diversification. The company has expanded its presence in markets such as Chile,
Saudi Arabia, Brazil, UAE and Peru, partially mitigating concentration risks associated with any limited export destinations.
Continued diversification of export markets and expansion of customer relationships remain important from a credit perspective.
Stable operating profitability despite moderation in scale of operations
RTL reported operating income of Rs. 255.38 crore in FY26 as against Rs. 295.86 crore in FY25 due to lower demand from certain
key export markets. Despite the decline in revenue, the company maintained healthy operating profitability, with PBILDT
improving marginally to Rs. 22.71 crore in FY26 from Rs. 22.68 crore in FY25. Consequently, PBILDT margin improved to 8.89%
in FY26 from 7.67% in FY25. The stable profitability is supported by the company's established customer relationships, operational
efficiencies and favourable raw material cost environment during the year. The company continues to operate an integrated
manufacturing facility with installed capacity of 8,400 metric tonnes per annum for terry towels and related products, supporting
operational flexibility and product diversification. Sustaining its profitability margins amidst fluctuating input costs remains a key
monitorable.
Moderate capital structure and moderate debt protection metrics
RTL's financial risk profile remains comfortable, supported by steady accretion to reserves and moderate reliance on external
debt. Tangible net worth improved to Rs. 106.02 crore as on March 31, 2026, from Rs. 97.90 crore a year earlier owing to
retention of profits. The capital structure continued to remain comfortable with overall gearing of 0.72x as on March 31, 2026
(PY: 0.63x). Although total debt increased to Rs. 75.88 crore as on March 31, 2026, from Rs. 61.39 crore as on March 31, 2025,
primarily on account of higher working capital borrowings and incremental term debt, the leverage indicators remained at
comfortable levels. Debt coverage indicators were moderate with total debt to GCA and total debt to PBILDT of 4.98x and 3.34x
respectively as on March 31, 2026. Interest coverage also remained satisfactory at 3.50x in FY26. The company's ability to
maintain its comfortable capital structure while supporting future growth plans will remain a key rating monitorable.
Moderate working capital intensity
The company operates in a working capital-intensive industry due to inventory requirements and credit extended to overseas
customers. Nevertheless, its working capital cycle has remained at moderate levels over the years. The operating cycle stood at
95 days as on March 31, 2026, as compared to 72 days as on March 31, 2025. The elongation in operating cycle was primarily
on account of higher inventory holding period, which increased to 54 days in FY26 from 35 days in FY25, along with moderation
in collection efficiency as reflected by average collection period of 60 days (FY25: 53 days). Despite the increase, the working
capital cycle remains manageable and is supported by established rel
