PRESS RELEASE REPRO INDIA LIMITED : Q2 RESULTS

Reports 112% growth in PAT

and 41% Revenue growth for Q2 FY 2018-19 over same quarter last year

Moving forward from Consolidation… to Investment… for Quantum Growth

Repro India Limited has reported a 112% increase of PAT for the Q2 FY 2018-19 over Q2 FY 2017-18. The PAT stood at Rs. 5.38 crore as compared with Rs. 2.54 crore for the same period last year. Repro also reported a 41% increase of Revenue for the Q2 FY 2018-19 over Q2 FY 2017-18 ie Rs. 98.28 crore from Rs. 69.55 crore for the same period last year.

The strategy of Financial consolidation has resulted in the reduction of Finance Costs by 49% (Q2 2018 over Q2 2017), reduction in Borrowings of 38% (Q2 2018 over Q2 2017), and a 66% change in the total Debt Equity ratio – from a peak of 1.25 in Q1 2017 to 0.43 in Q2 2018. This performance enables the Company to further focus on and invest in the new initiative of e-Retail.

Repro’s new Print on Demand facility in Bhiwandi, is the first step in creating a platform for exponential growth for reaching books to readers, through various online channels. The Repro Books on Demand business has gone through the test marketing phase – to the proof of concept phase - to the current growing momentum of reaching titles worth an estimated value Rs. 12 crore per month in October 2018.

With the 19% CAGR growth of the $6.4 bn books industry in India and the fact that India is the 6[th] largest book market globally, the industry is on the growth trajectory. Added to this, is the rapid growth of e-commerce. In India, the e-retail sale of books is at 4% of all e-retail sales – and compared to this, in the US it is 50%... so the potential for growth is expected to increase rapidly.

Repro India sees the continued and sustained growth of this business and is focusing on innovating and building technology platforms to meet the current and future needs of the industry.

Repro has already tied up with online giants such as Amazon, Flipkart, Paytm and many others to reach readers in the fastest time possible and in the most cost effective manner. Repro has also tied up with the Ingram Content Group Inc. to become a part of the Ingram Content Group’s Global Connect program.
