PACRA assigns Entity Ratings to Kingcrete Builders

Lahore, December 29, 2017 (PPI-OT):Kingcrete Builders is a partnership – led primarily by the Minhas family. The firm has exhibited renewed energy ever since the induction of the second generation. The roles of the partners are clearly defined. Kingcrete Builders was originally focused on construction and building works but recently the firm is increasing its focus on real estate development. Projects are in pipeline though revenue is volatile and so are the profits. The financial profile is constrained by stuck-up receivables and sizeable debt. Timely recovery of receivables and repayment of debt is essential.

The ratings are dependent upon the corporate governance principles, internal control systems and financial strength of Kingcrete Builders. Adherence of sound financial discipline while improving working capital management and strengthening debt servicing capacity through improving cash position is pivotal for the ratings. Improving the topline and sustaining it is also vital.
