Bata India announces Q2 results - GST 2.0 transition adversely impacts

quarter demand though post transition consumer momentum augurs well

Premium Brands outperform; Ballerina and Easy Slide styles are leading category growth, validating the consumer shift toward fashionable yet comfortable footwear.

Batanagar, West Bengal, October 27, 2025: Footwear major Bata India Limited today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Revenue from operations for the quarter stood at Rs. 8,013 million, vs. Rs. 8,371 million in Q2FY25, deferment of purchases by channel partners and customers since the announcement of GST rate rationalization. Further, disruption in one of the largest warehouses in July 2025 also had temporary business impact. The Quarter has ended on a positive note with signs of recovery in festive season.

EBIDTA for the quarter stood at Rs. 1,664 million vs. Rs. 1,918 million for Q2FY25, primarily owing to lower gross margin led by higher markdown (inventory clearance pre-festive) and higher marketing investments. The results for the quarter also include a one-time exceptional expenditure of ~Rs. 83 million towards VRS in one factory - consistent with the long-term strategy towards building capability, agility and efficiency in supply chain.

Inventory efficiencies both in terms of quantity and quality continued to show strong progress. Zero Base Merchandising Project was scaled to 200 stores with continuing to show exciting results on consumer experience and revenue per sqft. With a strong retail footprint of nearly 2,000 stores and a refreshed product portfolio catering to everyday and occasion-wear needs, early festive trends indicate steady demand recovery.

Speaking on the Q2FY26 performance, Gunjan Shah, MD and CEO - Bata India Limited, stated:

“With the roll out of GST 2.0 and pre-festive buying enthusiasm, the demand has started to revive. While overall Quarter 2 did have muted demand adversely impacted by the GST 2.0 transition, we are seeing positive signs of recovery this festive season post 22[nd] Sept. We reported revenue of INR 8,013 Million with key highlights:

Premium products showing robust growth in brands like Hush Puppies and Power.
Our Victoria Ballerina campaign touched the right chords and attracted female customers, helping us gain additional 1% in the Sales mix.
We also achieved highest weekly pairage contribution from our Power Easy Slide collection.
We passed on the GST benefits to our customers much prior to the official announcements, to unclog the demand pipeline.
We added 30 Franchise Stores in the quarter as we continue to expand in smaller towns / semiurban markets.

We continue to accelerate on managing inventory, merchandising and decluttering initiatives. In line with our long-term strategy towards bringing best-in-class efficiency standards, we have undertaken another VRS in one of our manufacturing units.

We remain cautiously optimistic about recovery towards balance of this year, backed by our strong market positioning and wide network while maintaining strong focus on cost efficiencies.”
