Rationale Rationale

The reaffirmation of ratings reflects Mahindra Logistics Limited's (MLL) strong financial profile reflected by its low leverage and strong debt coverage indicators, as well as its position as a key intermediary in Mahindra & Mahindra Limited's (M&M, rated [ICRA]AAA (Stable) and [ICRA]A1+) automotive and farm equipment business by providing end-to-end supply chain solutions. The strong business linkage with the Mahindra Group, particularly M&M, in the supply chain management (SCM) segment, provides MLL with the requisite experience, volume and a stable business avenue. MLL's SCM business has a large contribution from the automotive segment, in line with its large share of business from the parent entity. MLL has also developed a strong client base outside the Group in other segments such as e-commerce, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and pharmaceutical verticals. MLL being a subsidiary of M&M, also enjoys access to capital markets and healthy relationships with the banks, which adds to the financial flexibility.

MLL being a subsidiary of M&M, also enjoys access to capital markets and healthy relationships with the banks, which adds to the financial flexibility.

The ratings also consider MLL's increasing client diversification in its SCM business, and the respectable position it enjoys in the people logistics (enterprise mobility or EM) business. MLL continues to primarily follow an asset-light business model (asset-light model on a standalone basis, while its subsidiary company, 2X2 Logistics Private Limited has an asset-heavy model), which is positive, especially in a declining business environment. The ratings also factor in MLL's comfortable capital structure, as reflected by a gearing of 0.5 time (including lease liabilities) as on March 31, 2021. The liquidity position of the company also remains strong with sizeable cash and bank balance as well as liquid investments aggregating to Rs. 252.8 crore and unutilised fund-based bank lines of Rs. 170 crore as on March 31, 2021. Excluding lease liability, MLL is a net debt-free company.

Excluding lease liability, MLL is a net debt-free company.

The rating strengths are partially offset by the inherent cyclicality in the automotive industry towards which it has high exposure. MLL's automotive segment's revenues witnessed 17% and 6% YoY de-growth in FY2020 and FY2021, respectively, due to the overall slowdown in the domestic automotive industry coupled with the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. MLL's business also remains vulnerable to stiff competition from many unorganised players and technology driven start-ups.

ICRA has reaffirmed and withdrawn the [ICRA]A1+ rating assigned to the commercial paper programme of MLL at the request of the company as the company has not issued any Commercial paper during the year and there is no amount outstanding against the commercial paper.

Key rating drivers and their description Key rating drivers and their description

Credit strengths Credit strengths

Strong financial flexibility as part of Mahindra Group; strong business linkages with Group in SCM segment provide requisite volume and stable business avenue — While MLL was initially focussed on meeting the SCM requirements of the Mahindra Group, it subsequently diversified its client base beyond the Group. It continues to cater to almost the entire supply chain requirements of M&M. MLL derived 49% of its revenues from the Mahindra Group in FY2021. In addition to the business linkages and strong business volume, as a subsidiary of M&M , MLL enjoys access to capital markets and healthy relationships with the banks, which adds to the financial flexibility and supports the overall liquidity profile.

Asset-light business model provides operational flexibility, especially during challenging business environment — MLL primarily follows an asset-light strategy. MLL's vehicles are hired from transport companies/firms on a contractual basis, and all its warehousing requirements are on a lease basis. Such a policy results in low capital expenditure (capex) requirements and, hence, low fixed costs. While the policy results in modest operating margin, it provides flexibility during industry down cycles and helps it in reducing the volatility in ROCE.

Broad customer base with presence among established companies —The Mahindra Group accounted for —50% of MLL's total revenues (including EM) in FY2020 and FY2021 respectively. ICRA notes that the revenue concentration on the Group has reduced over the years from —70% in FY2015 to 49% in FY2021. MLL has been focussing on strengthening its presence with other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry and also diversifying into other industry verticals like pharmaceuticals, FMCG and e-commerce, among others. MLL has added several new customers in the non-automotive segment over the past few years, resulting in diversification of its customer profile.

Comfortable capital structure and liquidity — At a consolidated level, excluding impact of lease liabilities, MLL maintains its net-debt free status. The liquidity position of the company continues to remain strong as reflected by its sizeable cash and bank balance as well as liquid investments aggregating to Rs. 252.8 crore and unutilised fund-based bank lines of Rs. 170 crore as on March 31, 2021.

Credit challenges Credit challenges

Concentration of SCM business on automotive industry exposes Mato high industry cyclicality —The company derives —60% of its SCM revenues from the automotive segment, exposing the business to cyclicality inherent in the industry. ICRA notes that with increasing business from the non-automotive sectors, the concentration risk has reduced over the years. The high concentration of revenues on the automotive industry exposes MLL to the high demand cyclicality associated with the industry. Consequently, its automotive segment's revenues witnessed 17% and 6% YoY de-growth in FY2020 and FY2021, respectively, due to the overall slowdown in the domestic automotive industry coupled with the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. While its automotive business under the SCM and EM verticals have been impacted, the non-automotive SCM business has supported overall performance and the share of revenues from this vertical has increased from 35% in FY2020 to 40% in FY2021.

Stiff competition from large number of unorganised players and technology driven start-ups— MLL faces intense competition from the unorganised logistics service providers and technology driven start-ups in the SCM business. In the EM business, it faces competition from local travel operators as well as from application-based transportation service providers.
