OPERATING PERFORMANCE

 

The year 2010-11 was a year full of challenges and opportunities for the Company. It achieved a turnover of Rs.8160.000 Millions (2009-10: Rs.6640.000 Millions). While on the one hand the Company achieved a 22% growth, it reported a loss of Rs.706.000 Millions for the year. The loss was primarily on account of new initiatives undertaken by the Company like setting up a plant for manufacture of Performance Leather, launch of footwear and accessories under the Company's own brand Tashi in the domestic retail market, acquisition of a stake in a Company involved in the niche market of children's footwear, etc. The Company's leather products business has a major exposure in the European markets, which have still not recovered from the economic downturn. This has not only put pressure on margins, but also resulted in a mark down of inventories, which contributed a substantial portion of the losses.

 

The Company has already initiated various measures to reverse the trend by entering new geographies, rationalising the product portfolio, strengthening the marketing set up in overseas markets, etc. The Company is confident that these initiatives will yield the desired results.
