Pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, Bata India Limited has informed about Presentation to be made at Post Earnings Call
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Bata India filed its Q4 FY25 investors presentation after the post-earnings call. Revenue from operations came in at INR 7,882 Mn with value growth declining 1.2% YoY. Gross margin fell 229 bps YoY and EBITDA margin slipped 14 bps to 25.5% (23.5% adjusted for IND AS license accounting changes), while PAT of INR 459 Mn saw a sharp 21.5% decline. Operationally, the company highlighted progress on its Zero Base Merchandising initiative (now in 146 stores with +7.9% volume and +400 bps NPS vs control stores), strong Floatz brand momentum (2.9x turnover growth over two years), franchise expansion (624 franchise stores added over the year), and improved inventory agility (stock turns up from 1.87 to 2.01, aged inventory down 37%). Door count reached 1,962 across 1,579 towns with 14,500+ MBOs, and eCommerce contributed ~4.3% of retail turnover.
Mixed bag for shareholders — top-line pressure and margin compression dragged Q4 PAT down meaningfully, but operational levers like inventory reduction, franchise-led expansion, and digital scaling signal management's focus on turning the business around. Near-term earnings momentum remains weak, though store-level KPIs suggest the strategy is working at the ground level.
