Leading footwear firm records 72.1% growth in 2007

[2008-3-31]

Bata India Ltd has made a profit before tax of Rs. 551.5 million in the year 2007. Profits of 2006 included Rs.171.3 million one time exceptional items. Without considering the exceptional item of 2006, the increase in profit before tax for the year 2007 is 72.1% over the previous year. The increase is attributed to stricter cost control, improved product mix, new shoe designs, renovation of existing stores, consolidation and specialization of factories and continued transformation of the wholesale business.

The Board of Directors have recommended a Dividend @ 20%, inclusive of 5% additional dividend to celebrate 75 years of Bata in India, subject to the approval of shareholders.
