Earlier this week, CRISIL reaffirmed ‘A+’ rating with stable outlook on the bank facilities of Campus Activewear, citing company’s strong business risk profile, driven by expected net worth of over ₹700 crore in FY23 backed by continuous accretion to reserve.

“The ratings continue to reflect the healthy market position of the Campus group in the footwear industry backed by strong brand, geographically diversified presence and wide product portfolio, along with a comfortable financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by stretched working capital cycle and exposure to intense competition,” CRISIL said in a report.

Last month, the U.S.-based alternative asset management firm TPG Global, through its affiliate TPG Growth III SF Pte, sold its entire 7.6% stake in the company at an average price of ₹347.24 apiece, taking the transaction value to ₹805.86 crore. In August 2017, TPG Growth III SF Pte, the growth equity platform of American investment firm, acquired a 17.19% stake in Campus. Post the listing in May 2022, the shareholding was reduced to 7.63%, while it sold its remaining stake of 7.63% through the open market on March 24, 2023.
