NOTE

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

During the year, the company further consolidated its operations by closing down non-viable stores as well as completely exiting from few cities which had not responded encouragingly to the organized retailing. The focus on select geographies will enable the company to further improve its market position by fully leveraging the back-end infrastructure investment.

 

Current focus is in favour of opening large format stores where the economic model is working well and has high customer acceptance. Performance of the first half of the year was impacted by the difficult economic scenario which affected the same store sales growth but at the same time provided an opportunity to the company to optimize its cost structure across various levels / geographies to become more cost effective for the coming period.

 

The company successfully tested and launched stand-alone stores of international apparel brand BHPC and find very encouraging response from the consumers. The company has put in place the aggressive expansion plan for these stores in the coming years. In view of various measures taken by the company, the loss for the year before exceptional items and Taxes was Rs.2871 million against Rs.3651 million in the previous year. The company is confident of much better performance in the coming years.

 

CURRENT OUTLOOK

 

Organized Retailing is only 4.8% of the total retail space and is expected to grow at 25% CAGR over next 5 years. This is supported by improvement in infrastructure and improving income level. The convenience, one stop shop and variety are the key factors in support of organized retailing as confirmed by the consumers under various market research. By 2020, the organized retailing will become 16% of the total retailing sector.

 

Industry Profitability will continue to be a challenge, the turnover growth is likely to remain robust. The efficient cost management will be the key for retailers to deliver the bottom line.
