Meanwhile, on December 21, Crisil Ratings upgraded its rating on the long-term bank facility of Dreamfolks to ‘CRISIL BBB/Positive’ from ‘CRISIL BBB-/Stable’.
The upgrade reflects the improved business risk profile on the back of healthy recovery in operating income and operating margin in fiscal 2022. Moreover, in the current fiscal, the company achieved revenue of Rs 331.5 crore during H1-FY23 and is expected to clock revenue of around Rs 600 crore for fiscal 2023.
The healthy growth in revenue, analysts said, would be supported by increased air travel post Covid-19, addition of customers and lounges over the years as well as increased customer awareness for availing airport lounge facilities.
“The rating reflects Dreamfolks’ established position in providing lounge services, backed by healthy relationships with clients and lounge partners, healthy financial risk profile and healthy liquidity profile. These strengths are partially offset by risk to timely renewal of contracts with lounge partners and clients, and client concentration risk,” the ratings agency said.
With the top five clients contributing to 80-85 per cent of total revenue, analysts believe that the revenue and profitability remain dependent on growth plans of the clients. Therefore, DreamFolks endeavors to enhance the customer loyalty experience run by its clients.
