Comments :

Infiniti Retail Ltd (IRL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Limited (TSL), the holding company of the Tata Group. IRL operates a national chain of multi-brand electronics stores under the brand name Croma. As on March 31, 2017, IRL retails through 97 Croma retail outlets (95 as on March 31, 2016 and 98 as on March 31, 2015) across India.

 

The company was incorporated in the year 2005 and is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is an established company having satisfactory track record.

 

The company has registered huge accumulated losses which has eroded entire net worth of the company.

 

However, the company continues to derive strength from its strong parentage (IRL being a 100% subsidiary of Tata Sons Ltd [TSL]), experienced management, financial flexibility it derives by virtue of belonging to the Tata group and continuous funding support from the promoters

 

Further, IRL is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Ltd, which has a very strong credit profile and has demonstrated its support to IRL through timely infusion of funds. In FY13 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31), TSL infused equity of INR 220 crore into IRL, a part of which (INR.190 crore) was used to fund the IWL acquisition. TSL has infused additional INR 50 crore on June 18, 2016 and another INR 50 crore on August 02, 2016 and in FY17 TSL infused Rs. 150 crore as equity in IRL demonstrating continuous support.

 

Trade relations are reported to be fair. Business is active. Payments terms are usually correct and as per commitments.

 

In view of the aforesaid, the company can be considered normal for business dealings at usual trade terms and condition.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

The Company has made considerable progress in improving its performance by taking advantage of the new consumer behavior with its omni-channel strategy offering the benefits of both online and offline shopping experience. The transformation journey started in H2 of FY16 with a focus on the digital influence on customers. The Company has brought alive its strengths in the new path to purchase with rollout of 3 key initiatives:

 

(a) Refreshed stores as a Theatre for CDIT products.

(b) Reimagined croma.com for best-in-class Omni experience.

(c) Curated range of products at competitive prices, simultaneously reducing costs to the new margin structure.

 

As a result, the Company has significantly improved the Customer experience. The Net promoter score (NPS) has improved from 20 in Q1-FY16 when the project started to 52 in Q4-FY17. The footfalls and same-stores-sales (SSS) growth have been positive every single quarter. While the accumulated losses of the Company at the end of the financial year continues to be higher than its paid-up capital and reserves, it has made significant progress during the year towards its goal to achieve profitability. In addition, the promoters have also shown confidence and subscribed to INR 1500.000 Million compulsorily convertible debentures (CCD) of the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not expect material threat to its going concern status due to the negative net worth.

 

The management is of the view that the Company is at an exciting turning point in its journey. The Company is moving from a turnaround phase where it focused on solving two problems – negative SSS growth have been positive and declining margins – to a transformation phase focused on providing best- in-class shopping experience to its Customers to drive a sustainable profitable growth. Further, the roll-out of GST is expected to bring in a favorable environment for supply chainoptimization. Simplified taxes and availability of input tax credits under GST will also help the Company in achieving its profitability goal. As it looks ahead, the Company aspires to build its position as the most trusted, leading provider of technology products, services and solutions.

PRESS RELEASE

 

TATA GROUP’S CONSUMER ELECTRONICS RETAIL CHAIN CROMA CROPS ITS LOSSES BY 68%

December 07, 2017

 

KOLKATA: Tata Group’s consumer electronics retail chain Croma reduced its losses by 68% in the year ended March 2017 to INR 614.000 Million, down from INR 1956.000 Million in the previous year, on the back of a 12% jump in revenue. 

 

According to its latest regulatory filings, Infiniti Retail, which owns and operates the Croma stores, posted revenues of INR 32687.000 Million for 2016-17 against INR 29182.000 Million in the previous year, defying the effects of the government’s demonetisation drive and ecommerce discounts. Infiniti Retail CEO Avijit Mitra said same-store sales grew 13% last fiscal.

 

“The most tangible change the market can observe is the increase in number of Croma stores — we started FY18 with 97 stores, are currently operational in 105 and are in the process of opening another 10,” he said. 

 

With last year’s growth, Infiniti Retail’s sales almost returned to 2014-15 levels after an 11% decline in 2015-16. The company had then attributed the fall in sales to the growth of ecommerce. It had subsequently said the omni-channel initiative it embarked on in July 2015 had led to improvement in footfall and same-store sales growth. 

 

Two industry executives attributed the improved showing of Croma to shutting of unprofitable stores, focusing on less capital-intensive expansion, and its omni-channel initiative that helped it compete better with ecommerce majors Amazon and Flipkart. “In all probability, the company is likely to break even this fiscal,” one of them told ET. 

 

Mitra said the recovery last fiscal was part of an ongoing transformation journey that Croma had embarked on three years back. Some of the changes the company undertook as part of this was to focus on online marketplaces as the key competition, actively compete for purchases from the digitally engaged and influenced, younger shoppers, build a store-first, omni-channel proposition and elevate the customers’ experience in the stores.
