Profile
Hayleys MGT Knitting Mills Limited (HMGT)
was incorporated in 1993, and is listed on the
Colombo Stock Exchange since April 2003. The
Company is the second largest knitted fabric
manufacturer in the country. Sales of HMGT are
predominantly to the local apparel manufacturers.
Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hayleys ADC
Textiles Limited engaged in dying and finishing
of fabrics enables HMGT to provide an
integrated service. In FY04 HMGT (group)
reported sales of USD24.6m and operating profits
of USD3.1m.
Key Credit Strengths
• Growing sales to local apparel
manufacturers and direct exports
• Track record and experience of the
management
• Lower future capital expenditure possibly
resulting in a gradual reduction of longterm debt
Key Credit Concerns
• Increasing working capital requirement
• High dividend payments despite low
operating cash flows
• Thinning profit margins due to increasing
pricing pressure
• Exposure to raw material price
fluctuations
Rating Rationale
The rating reflects the position of Hayleys MGT Knitting
Mills Limited (HMGT) as the second largest knitted fabrics
manufacturer in Sri Lanka catering to mostly the large and
well-established apparel manufacturers of the country.
Further, the company has been able to increase the direct
exports, which now account for broadly 15-20% of total sales.
HMGT is the only knitted fabrics manufacturer equipped to
manufacture 100% Polyester fabrics in the country and has
seen a significant growth in sales of pure-polyester fabrics.
The recent capacity expansion enables HMGT to cater to
anticipated demand for its products in the short- to mediumterm without any significant capital expenditure. Experienced
management and equipment/ machinery of reputed makes are
amongst other positive factors.
While HMGT has achieved solid sales growth, the operating
margin has slipped due to the increased price of yarn and
intensified pricing pressure. The dismantling of the quota
system is expected to exert pressure on the entire value chain
challenging future margins. However, it is anticipated that
the local fabric manufacturers will benefit in the quota-free
environment with a much larger proportion of the fabric
requirement of the local apparel manufacturers expected to be
sourced from within the country to reduce lead-times. The
rating is constrained by the high gearing and the high working
capital intensive nature of the business. Going forward,
higher inventory requirements will expose HMGT to
variations in raw material prices in the international markets.
The relatively high dividend payout despite low/ negative
cash flows from operations is also a concern.
HMGT’s gearing measured by Debt to Equity was 147% at
end-1H05, up from 105% at FYE03 due to debt taken on to
fund the capacity expansion and the high incremental working
capital and slow equity build-up due to high earnings
distribution. Debt/ EBITDA stood at 4.0x for 1H05, but is
expected to gradually improve over the short- to mediumterm due to lower capital expenditure and improved earnings.
■
Recent Developments
HMGT increased knitted fabric manufacturing capacity by
approximately 50% during FY04 and 1H05 at a cost of
USD6.2mn. The company is expected to invest another
USD0.7mn during 2H05 to further expand knitting and
dyeing/ finishing capacity.

were bought by Hayleys Limited and MAS Holdings
(Pvt) Limited. The latter is one of Sri Lanka’s
largest apparel manufacturers and a regular customer
of HMGT.
Liquidity/Debt Structure
As at end 1H05, HMGT had a total of USD16.2m in
debt (FYE04: USD13.7m), of which 86% was raised
at the parent company level. Leaving out the
overdraft and short-term loan facilities, which was
USD10.2m, 75% of HMGT’s debt is due between 25 years and 25% within a year. Net debt at end1H05 also stood at USD16.2m. Leverage measured
by gross debt/ equity increased to 147% up from
143% at FYE04. As at September 30, 2004, HMGT
had committed, undrawn credit facilities of
USD1.9mn.
■
Global Apparel and Textile Industry
Clothing and textile is a significant sector in the
global trade. In 2002, global exports of textile and
clothing amounted to Euro 353 billion, which was
nearly 6 % of the total global exports. Of this,
clothing accounted for around 60% with Euro 201
billion. With the abolition of the quota system in
end-2004, it is expected that the large retailers would
consolidate production in a few countries, creating a
challenging environment for the others.
Despite stronger earnings in FY04, the net cash flow
from operating (NCFO) activities deteriorated to –
USD572,614 from –USD385,058 as a result of
higher inventories increasing the working capital
requirement. The net free cash flow (NFCF) before
dividends was –USD2.1m compared to –USD1.5m
in FY03. HMGT made a dividend payment of
USD1.26m (FY03:USD0.885m).
Despite weak
operating cash flows arising from high incremental
working capital requirements, the company has been
declaring high dividends based on positive earnings.

Brief Industry Overview
Sri Lankan Apparel and Textile Industry
The Textile and Garment industry is the largest
manufacturing sector in Sri Lanka, accounting for
broadly 4.8% of gross domestic product, 40% of
industrial production and 50% of exports in 2003.
Hence, the country is highly dependent on the sector
for both export earnings and employment. Foreign
investors own a sizable proportion of the production
capacity of the country and account for a much
larger share of the exports. Foreign investments in
the sector are promoted through various tax and duty
concessions and an investor friendly regulatory
environment.
Background
Hayleys MGT was incorporated in 1993 as a
manufacturer of natural and synthetic quality knitted
fabrics. Operations commenced as a joint venture
between Hayleys Limited and MGT Samor Knitting
Mills of Melbourne of Australia. Whilst sales of
HMGT are predominantly to the local garment
manufacturers, broadly 15-20% of the sales are now
derived from direct exports. Hayleys ADC Textiles
Limited (HADC) incorporated in 1991, was brought
under HMGT as a subsidiary in mid-2001, enabling
HMGT to provide an integrated service to its
customers.
At present, Sri Lanka enjoys quota-free access to the
European Union (EU) along with certain duty
concessions under the General System Preference
scheme available from February 2004. Sri Lanka
has qualified for the EU’s GSP+ scheme that will
provide apparel manufacturers duty-free access to
the region. Further, it is also likely that the new
scheme will have relaxed rules of origin
requirements. In addition, the country also enjoys
duty free access to the member countries of the
South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation
(SAARC). The US is considering providing trade
preferences to some of the countries affected by the
Asian Tsunami, including Sri Lanka.
HMGT was listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange
through an introduction of shares in April 2003. As
per FYE04, Hayleys Limited remained the single
largest shareholder with 35.16% of equityownership. The effective holding of the Hayleys
group of companies is 41.2%. The Australian
promoters maintain their interest through Shantiro
Proprietary Ltd, Ocean Faith International Limited
and Mr. Oaul Edward Paradisco with 15.83%, 3.15%
and 0.70% of equity ownership respectively.
The large majority of the sector exports comprise of
garments, with all other remaining items taken in
total accounting for less than 10% of the exports.
The second largest shareholder is National
Development Bank of Sri Lanka owning 26.87% of
shares in issue. Several venture capital and fund
management companies divested their interests
subsequent to the listing of shares. These shares

The industry lacks important backward linkages. As
a result, approximately 80% of the raw material
requirement is imported. The domestic textile
production was largely affected by the removal of
import duties on textile imports in 1997. Such duty
exemptions were introduced to improve the
competitiveness of the local apparel manufactures in
international markets, but resulted in the demise of
the local textile manufacturing industry. Having to
import a large portion of raw material, the local
apparel manufacturers are experiencing longer-lead
times, which is unfavourable in an increasingly
competitive environment.

Competitiveness of Sri Lankan Apparel
Manufacturers
in
the
Quota-Free
Environment
Sri Lanka’s share of the global apparel exports is
approximately 1%. Broadly 95% of the country’s
produce is exported, in the main, to USA and EU.
With the dismantling of quotas in end-2004, China is
expected to be the “supplier of choice” for many
labels and retailers. However, as importers are
unlikely to depend on any one single country for
strategic reasons, other low-cost countries, such as
India will also benefit.
In the quota-free
environment, the main strength of Sri Lanka would
be its ability to provide high-quality garments at
competitive prices. Further, Sri Lanka is also
blessed by an industry structure capable of servicing
leading international brands and favourable labour
standards, an important factor considered by
importers in sourcing products. However, closure of
many apparel manufacturing operations is
anticipated, with some of the manufacturing capacity
and employees of such factories being absorbed by
the others. Sri Lanka will specialise in certain
product categories such as intimates, active and
sportswear etc. to become a reliable supplier of
quality garments at attractive prices in these selected
segments.

In 2003, export earnings from apparel and textile
exports grew by 6.2% over the preceding year, but
fell short of expectations due to slower recovery of
the economies of importing nations and increased
competition from low-cost producer countries. The
export earnings growth stated above is also aided by
the increase in higher value exports. The value per
unit index, which rose by 4.55% in 2003, has
registered an average 8% year-on-year growth from
1999. Further, the net export earnings from the
textile and garment sector also rose with the
increased value addition in the sector.
The lack of backward linkages will result in longer
lead-times and in certain instances higher costs.
Despite shortening of lead-time over the last few
years, further improvements are required to
effectively compete in the post-2004 environment.
The government expects to setup a backward
integration zone to promote investments in this
important sector while encouraging the revival of
dormant textile and milling factories.
There are 800-900 apparel manufacturers in Sri
Lanka, dispersed across various regions of the
country. However, the output is highly concentrated
among a few large-scale producers, where the top
18% of manufacturers account for approximately
78% of the value of exports of the sector. Of the
The degree of dependency on a few large markets
viz US and EU (which accounts for broadly 95% of
apparel and textile exports) is another weakness of
the local garment industry. Further, imports to US is
concentrated in categories where other low-cost
suppliers are constrained by quota restrictions,

meaning stiff competition in the quota-free
environment. Lack of direct marketing abilities
(dependency on buying offices) is yet an issue for
certain apparel manufacturers. The sector in general
will be required to improve labour productivity and
invest in modern technology to effectively compete
in the future. The scale of operations, level of
integration and design capabilities are other
important areas to invest in to survive in the post2004 environment.
The abolition of the quota system in end-2004 is
likely to benefit the local textile manufactures as
apparel manufacturers would be required to cutdown on lead times, which can be partly achieved by
sourcing quality fabrics locally. Further, the apparel
makers can attend to quality related issues
immediately, while at the same time reducing the
working capital requirement.
The increasing
pressure on apparel makers to provide an integrated
service may result in future investments in the
sector, resulting in a larger proportion of the fabric
requirement/ value addition being supplied locally.
The removal of the quota system will increase the
purchasing power of buyers, exerting pressure on the
entire value chain reducing prices and in turn profit
margins. Following the global trends, manufacturers
may also settle for lower prices in exchange for
higher take-off.
■
Knitted Fabrics Market
The country’s clothing sector has seen increasing
integration with the setting up of a number of knitted
fabric manufacturing plants and several large scale
apparel manufacturers taking equity ownership in
these.
Though the local knitted fabrics
manufacturers now provide approx. 35-40% of the
requirement of the local apparel manufacturers, the
majority is still imported from internationally
competitive suppliers.
■
Business Overview
HMGT is in the manufacturing of knitted fabrics,
chiefly catering to the local apparel manufacturers.
Its fully-owned subsidiary Hayleys ADC Textiles
Limited (HADC) provides dyeing and finishing
services almost-exclusively to HMGT. FY04 was
particularly a good year for the company which
witnessed a 44% growth in sales. Both sales to local
apparel manufacturers and direct exports contributed
to this substantial improvement in the top-line,
registering 29% and 206% growth respectively over
FY03. The proportion of directs sales was 18% in
FY04 compared to 8.4% in the preceding financial
year. Volume of fabric sold (kgs) increased by 36%
while the value per unit also increased by 5% over
FY03, partially aided by the relatively high-value
direct exports.
The largest manufacturer of knitted fabrics in Sri
Lanka is Ocean Lanka (Pvt) Limited, a joint venture
between Fountain Set (Holdings) Limited – one of
the worlds leading manufacturers and suppliers of
knitted fabrics and several large scale local apparel
manufacturers. Other players include (in order of
size/ capacity) HMGT, Textured Jersey (a joint
venture between Textured Jersey of U.K., Mast
Industries of USA and several large scale local
apparel manufacturers). Singapore’s South Asia
Textiles was the latest entrant, which acquired
Pugoda Textile Mills (renamed South Asia Textiles
Lanka Limited). During FY04, all players expanded
production capacity to gear up for increasing
demand for knitted fabrics.

Factors that contribute to sourcing knitted fabrics
from overseas include the unavailability of certain
types of products/ local value addition, cost
advantages due to large scale production and in
certain instances the relationships with ultimate
buyers of finished merchandise. The backward
integration provided by investing in fabric mills
places those apparel manufacturers at an advantage
in canvassing for large orders. Apart from share
ownership, cost, lead-times, production capacity and
historical business relationships are the key factors
that determine the orders placed by the apparel

varieties utilising Weft knitting method and employs
both Circular and Flat technologies. The company
produces 100% cotton, 100% polyester and polycotton blends. In addition, it is also capable of
producing other value-added products including
Lycra-based fabrics.
Printed fabrics are also
provided on request for which the company obtains
the services of a commission printer. The company
recently invested in a Polyester fabric printing
facility enabling the company to carry out a sizeable
proportion of printing in-house.

Yarn is mainly imported from Indonesia and India.
Raw material accounts for broadly 75% of the costs.
The entire yarn requirement is imported. The
company was able to reduce energy related costs in
FY04 due to the introduction of more energy
efficient machinery. Over 75% of the costs are
incurred in USD, which has minimised the impact on
profitability from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

1HFY05
HMGT’s figures for the first-half of FY05 show an
improvement over the corresponding period of the
preceding year.
However, high yarn prices
continued to pressure margins, due to which
operating profitability slipped further. The cotton
yarn prices are expected to fall, easing pressure on
profitability. The management expects the top-line
to be USD34mn for the full financial year.
Financial Analysis
Accounting Issues
The consolidated financial statements of the HMGT
group have been prepared in accordance with the Sri
Lankan Accounting Standards. In April 2002, the
group adopted USD as the measurement and
reporting currency in order to give a fairer
representation of operations.
1HFY05 Performance vs. 1HFY04
Earnings
Sales improved in FY04 by 44% over FY03
reflecting the substantial sales volume increases in
both direct and indirect exports. However, Net
Income increase was less at 36% over the preceding
financial year due to lower operating profitability,
which slipped from 14.9% to 12.6% in FY04 chiefly
due to increased yarn prices. The increase in raw
material prices could not be fully translated into
selling prices due to stiff competition from suppliers
and the local apparel manufacturers being pressured
to minimise costs in order to be more competitive.

Cash Flow and Coverage
Despite a substantial growth in operating profits, the
cash flow generated from operating activities
reduced further due to a significant increase in the

with the growth in sales, year-end inventories almost
doubled in order to gear up for the planned increased
in production in FY05.

With the dismantling of the quota system in end2004, it is expected that pressure on the entire valuechain will result in lower raw material prices, which
include both HMGT’s raw material inputs and also
its manufactured products. Margins could however
slip going forward, where bottom-line growth has to
be achieved purely on volume growth. HMGT
targets to maintain direct exports at around 15% of

Inventories reduced in the 1HFY05 easing pressure
on cash flow from operations.
However, a
substantial fall in creditors increased the working
capital requirement by USD1.3mn. During the
period, capital expenditure amounted to USD3.2mn,
which was entirely debt financed. Production of
more Polyester-based fabrics will exert pressure on
the working capital cycle of HMGT due to little or
no credit being available for Polyester yarn
purchases.
Capital expenditure on HMGT and HADC in 2H05
is estimated at USD 705k. These would be entirely
financed by debt. The group’s short-term debt will
continue to increase in line with the increasing
working capital requirement. However, given the
relatively low planned future capital expenditure, the
long-term debt of the group is expected to gradually
reduce.
Outlook
The profitability and the cash flow generation
ability of the company are largely dependent on
its competitiveness, long-term prospects of the
apparel manufacturing industry of the country
and raw material price movements. Though the
dismantling of the quotas in end-2004 is not
likely to have a significant negative impact on
sales, it will result in a more competitive
environment resulting in thinner margins. The
working capital cycle is likely to increase having
to maintain a higher inventory level to shorten
lead-times. Production of more polyester-based
fabrics would also exert pressure on the working
capital requirement, with low or no credit
available on polyester yarn purchases. Higher
capacity utilization and the possible increase in
direct exports could positively affect creditor
protection measures.
Debt
As at end 1H05, HMGT had a total of USD16.2mn
debt (FYE03: USD8.8mn), of which USD13.9mn
(86%) was raised at the parent company level. The
group has committed, undrawn credit facilities of
USD1.9mn at September 30, 2004.
