Bata India filed the transcript of its Q4 FY25 earnings call held on June 2, 2025, with the exchanges. For the quarter, revenue from operations stood at Rs.788 crore, down 1.2% year-on-year, while gross margins fell by about 230 basis points and reported EBITDA margin came in at 25.5% (about 14 bps lower YoY). Profit after tax was Rs.46 crore. Management highlighted progress on its Zero Base Merchandising initiative, which is now live in 146 stores (up from under 40 last quarter), with plans to scale to about 300 stores by December-end, covering 45-50% of retail turnover. The Floatz brand is growing at over 40% and is expected to reach Rs.200 crore in annualised revenue, while overall inventory has come down 16% and aged inventory is 30-35% lower year-on-year.
Near-term margins are under pressure from the rising share of franchise and e-commerce channels as well as conscious value pricing, even as the company invests in store transformation and volume-led growth. The improving inventory turns, expanding ZBM rollout, and steady Floatz traction are positive medium-term levers, but management refrained from giving specific forward-looking margin or growth guidance, leaving the stock's near-term direction dependent on demand recovery and execution of these initiatives.
