VIS Reaffirms Entity Ratings of Umar Spinning Mills Private Limited
Karachi, June 30, 2026: VIS Credit Rating Company Limited (VIS) reaffirms entity ratings of Umar Spinning Mills Private Limited (‘USMPL’ or ‘the Company’) at ‘BBB+/A2’ (‘Triple B Plus/A Two). Medium to long term rating of 'BBB+' indicates adequate credit quality; Protection factors are reasonable and sufficient. Risk factors are considered variable if changes occur in the economy. Short term rating of 'A2' indicates good likelihood of timely repayment of short-term obligations with sound short-term liquidity factors. Outlook on the assigned ratings is ‘Stable’. Previous Rating action was announced on April 22, 2025.
USMPL was incorporated in Pakistan as a private limited company in 1991. The Company’s registered office is located in Karachi, while its manufacturing facility is situated in Lahore. USMPL is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of yarn. USMPL is part of the Pervaiz Group, a diversified business group with interests across multiple sectors, including textiles and clearing & forwarding services.
The rating of the Company reflects its long operating track record, established manufacturing operations, diversified yarn product portfolio, and longstanding customer relationships. The Company has continued to invest in operational improvements and renewable energy initiatives, including the expansion of its solar power generation capacity and the installation of a new humidification plant. These initiatives are expected to reduce energy costs, improve yarn quality, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen cost competitiveness over the medium term.
The rating remains constrained by pressure on profitability over the past two years, which has weakened capitalization metrics and cash flow generation. While the Company continues to maintain adequate liquidity and has reduced its debt burden, leverage indicators remain elevated relative to historical levels. Coverage metrics have shown improvement during the current period, supported by recovering operating cash flows on the back of reduction in losses and lower borrowings.
Going forward, the Company’s ability to sustain the recent improvement in margins, restore profitability, and strengthen internal cash flow generation will remain important. The expected benefits from lower energy costs, enhanced operational efficiencies, and improved product quality are likely to support earnings over the medium term.
