CARE Rating Agency has assigned CARE A3+ (A Three Plus) rating to short term bank facilities for the amount of Rs 80 crore, CARE BBB+/CARE A3 + (Triple B Plus/ A Three Plus) rating to long term/short term bank facilities for the amount of Rs 10.00 crore and CARE AA (SO) [Double A (Structured Obligation)] to long-term bank facilities for the amount of Rs 56.88 crore of Hindustan Motor Finance Corporation Limited. The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Hindustan Motor Finance Corporation Limited (HMFCL) factor in its longstanding relationship with Mistubishi Motor's Corporation (MMC), Japan for manufacturing & distribution of MMC vehicles having well established brands, HMFCL's experienced management team and its established distribution network. The ratings also factor in the benefits derived by HMFCL from being part of CK Birla Group including demonstrated support from group companies. The ratings are constrained by moderate scale of operations, leveraged capital structure, forex exposure, exposure to group company and the competitive nature of the industry. Going Forward, the ability of the company to grow its market presence with successful launch of new projects amidst a competitive environment in the specific segment, improve the scale of operations and capital structure will be the key rating sensitivities. The rating assigned to the HMFCL factor in the credit enhancement in the form of unconditional and irrevocable corporate guarantee from GMMCO Limited (rated CARE AA/CARE A1+). The ratings of GMMCO Limited factors in its position as an exclusive dealer for caterpillar (CAT) products (in its designated region), wide product range offered by CAT which is further strengthened by the addition of Bucyrus product line, relatively stable revenue stream supported by after sales service & related income, its strong financial position characterized by high profitability margin coupled with favorable capital structure. The ratings further take into account the favorable long term growth prospects of the end-user segments. The ratings also factor in the trading nature of business resulting in little control over pricing and demand & supply of products. Ability of the company to improve leverage levels and maintain profitability will be the key rating sensitivity.
