Bata India, one of India’s largest shoemakers is in trouble again. The company’s fortunes seem to be up one year and down the very next. After almost being wiped out, Bata turned the corner in FY97 thanks to a new management, aggressive product launches and a shift towards its traditional mass market offering high value affordable products. At present, it derives over 70% of its revenues from retail outlets while the balance comes from the wholesale segment.
Bata India has reported a YoY 52% drop in its profits with 7% decline in topline in the 2QFY01. Even though retail sales of the company increased by 4%, wholesale sales declined primarily due to restriction of supplies to recover debts outstanding. Sluggish market condition further contributed in the slow growth rate.
Bata India reported a net profit of Rs 39.6 m for the 1QFY00 depicting a decline of around 8% against Rs 42.9 m in the corresponding previous quarter.
