Bata India submitted its Q1 FY26 investor presentation following the post-earnings call held on July 31, 2025. Revenue from operations stood at INR 941.8 crore, down 0.3% in value terms year-on-year. Gross margin fell 133 bps YoY, but EBITDA margin expanded 157 bps to 22.9% on better cost efficiency; PAT margin came in at 5.5%, down 112 bps (Q1'25 had a one-time INR 134 crore gain from Faridabad land sale). The company highlighted strategic progress across store growth (1,978 doors), portfolio expansion (Floatz up 1.33X in turnover), and inventory cleanup, with inventory down 16.5% YoY to INR 674 crore. NPS improved to 81 (+600 bps YoY) and MBO coverage expanded to 1,590 towns with 1,480 KROs.
Mixed set of numbers - flat revenue and gross margin pressure are negatives, but the 157 bps EBITDA margin expansion and sharp inventory reduction signal improving operational efficiency. The aggressive distribution and brand portfolio expansion (Floatz, Power, Hush Puppies) is a positive structural story, though demand recovery and margin trajectory will be the key things investors watch.
