Management Comments

The company has reported a modest performance in Q3FY23. In spite of subdued demand due to the continuing inflationary pressures on the consumers, the Company showed marginal improvement in volumes on Q-o-Q basis. The volume growth was primarily supported by price corrections undertaken.

Market environment remains competitive & challenging. The Company made price corrections to counter the same. While we have started seeing the effect of the same on volumes, its full effect will come into play from Q4FY23 onwards. Once the major portion of the high-cost inventory gets cleared from our distribution channels coupled with the business showing signs of improvement and raw material costs stabilising, we expect improvements in margins while regaining the market share in the quarters to come. We also anticipate that our closed footwear segment will continue to show healthy growth momentum as wholesale distribution channels and online penetration improve.
