CAGR of ~15%/~10% over CY14p-17e on account of increasing disposable
income of middle class, increasing demand for branded footwear’s, Online
availability, increasing penetration in metros and smaller cities to capture the

Investment rationale
Footwear market would grow at a CAGR of 15-20% over the next decade-
India is the 2nd largest global producer of footwear, accounting for 13% of global Footwear
production of 16 bn pairs. The domestic market in the country is estimated at Rs.340 bn. This
means the average consumption globally is about 2-3 pairs/person. India produces approximate
2,000 mn pairs annually in different categories of Footwear. India exports about 115 mn pairs,
thus nearly 95% of its produce meets its own domestic demand.
Currently the organized footwear industry is growing at the rate of 18% yoy, where leather and
non-leather Footwear’s per capita consumption is estimated to be approx. 1.4 pairs and Slippers
(Hawai Chappals) segment is near to 10000cr with per capita consumption estimated to be 1
pair.
There is a desire for branded footwear as the Indian consumer has become more conscious and
demanding in their choice and preference and also there is an increasing per capita consumption
in India. Currently the per capita consumption of footwear is 1 as compared to 4-6 in neighboring
Asian Countries and 6-8 in the developed European markets.

Our Findings-
The outcome of this primary research is that the per capita consumption and also the spending
on footwear is increasing. Now, people are willing to pay more for branded product as their
buying decisions are mostly based on the quality & brand of the footwear rather than its price.
So, we can say that a shift from unorganized to organized sector has commenced.
We expect that the per capita consumption in India would be 4-6, at par with the neighboring
Asian Countries, over the next 5 years on the back of a growing economic consumption.
Factors leading to volume growth-
1) Increasing disposable income of middle class
2) Growing fashion consciousness
3) Increasing aspiration level
4) Increasing number of working women
5) Online availability
6) Increasing penetration in metros and Tier II and Tier III cities to capture the growing
consumer market. As per industry reports, the non-metro market accounts for nearly 55% of the
overall footwear industry.
7) Adding new brands to improve product mix like the premium brand hush puppies in leather
segment, Marie Clair for women’s category and the new retail concept – FOOTIN that offers
new range of fashionable and trendy styles for both men and women.
Improvement in margins due to change in product mix- BATA India increased its focus on
high value product to improve margin. It increased its focus from low margin Hawaii slipper to
high margin product such as Sunshine flip-flop for daily casuals, premium brand Hush puppies in
leather segment & other new styles & designs footwear’s.
BIL also concentrates on footwear for specific category like Marie Clair for women and FOOT-IN
for youth. They have also broadened the catalogue for accessories segment which contains ladies
bag, scarves, sunglasses, belt, and wallets, which help the company to improve margins.
BIL is improving its presence in e-Commerce business and also strengthening its Accessories
business by offering a wide product range. They are also planning to revive their old brand
Power (in sports segment) in 2015.
Improving earnings, led by cost effectiveness and positive industry factor-
Improving earnings is led by a number of factors-
1. Falling Raw material cost
2. Reduction in staff cost by decreasing headcounts
3. Reduction in excise duty on leather product made from leather on above the MRP of
Rs.1000
Rubber & PU prices have recently corrected. Natural rubber has been corrected by ~28% and
synthetic rubber has decreased by ~15%. PU is one of the most important component of raw
materials used to make leather footwear is derived from crude oil and fall in in crude price levels
has led to improvement in margins. Brent crude prices have fallen from $115barrel to $58/barrel.

BIL has benefited from reduction in excise duty on leather footwear with MRP above Rs.1, 000.
(In the current Budget excise duty has been reduced from 12% to 6% for the shoes above
Rs.1, 000 made out of leather.) Hence, there is a huge saving in terms of excise duty for the
company and also employee cost cutting.
We expect that, falling raw materials costs, reduction in staff cost and reduction in excise duty
would improve profitability.
Strengthening distribution network maintain market share- BATA India is the leader of
Indian footwear market in terms of volume growth, brand equity and distribution network.
Currently it has over 1400 stores in 500 cities. To endure their leading position, they are planning
to open 100 stores each year to penetrate deeply and further grow its distribution network
strength and become more accessible.
Their major focus is on the Tier-II and III cities and the right location for opening a new store.
Footwear has a big market share in smaller town and its consumers are often similar in terms of
taste and preference. Currently, these smaller towns are not catered to by many of the larger
players, either domestic or foreign. Therefore, to grab the opportunity in untapped markets, BIL
is planning to open more stores in smaller towns.
Formatting outlet to fuel top line:
BIL has been suffering from crowded store formats and staff without much sales skill which has
only added to its dull image and negatively impacted its sales. They are focusing on upgrading
their existing smaller (~1000 sq. ft.) stores to bigger stores (~3000 sq. ft.) Formatting outlets
would help to better display the entire range of product as we already have seen in Bangalore
(6,000 sq. ft. stores), which is getting very good response.
Strategy of revamping of stores would lead to higher footfalls and offers a superior shopping
experience to its customers, thereby increase sales per store & provides improved inventory
turnover. The new stores are more spacious and managed by staff who are expertise in sales
and also enhancing product portfolio with new aspirational designs, offering accessories such as
sunglasses, belts, handbags, etc. is also being done to attract the youth. We expect that, for
longer-term, growth in stores will continue to remain healthy and BIL will maintain their market
share.

Advertising campaign to connect with the youth- Bata India is trying to makeover its
brand image by taking marketing initiatives like print ads, launching advertising campaigns across
various social networking sites, Discount offers etc.
Since online stores often offer products that are not available in the physical stores, they are
going to be an engine for growth in the future. On the Digital Space, through Facebook, the
company has entered into over 100,000 customers' personal space. More than a national
advertising campaign, BIL is focusing on marketing activities in their stores, like getting a local
celebrity in one of the stores.
Strong support from parent-
Bata Shoe Organization (BSO) is a Netherlands based company which holds ~51% stake in BIL
as they have been in footwear BSO is one of the world’s top footwear retailers and
manufacturers with operations spread across 5 continents. BIL has a strong parent support, a
strong brand name supported by positioning and its large retail touch. BSO operates through
5000 retail stores and manages a retail presence ~70 countries and has 33 production facilities
across 22 countries. Having a big support from BSO is very beneficiary for BIL at global level as
well as domestic level.
Portfolio of big Brands with extensive variety of product:
Bata India is a leading and most trusted brand in India. People are loyal and have trust on BIL as
they have been in the footwear industry for over 90 years. Bata India has transformed its image
from rubber chappal to all weather, year around, formal & casual wear high value end offerings
and caters to all age group. They sell a wide range of footwear in canvas, rubber, leather and
plastic with price range from INR199-7,000.
It has licensed brands (Hush Puppies and Dr Scholl, licensed respectively from Wolverine
Worldwide and Dr Scholl's) besides those of its parent (Power, Marie Claire and Bubblegummers).
It has also built brands like Weinbrenner, North Star, Bubblegummers, Ambassador, Comfit,
Mocassino and Wind India, for the women's segment, widening brand Marie Claire range. These
brands has seen significant demand and able to connect with the target audience.
Diversified product portfolio-
In last few years, Bata India is concentrating on its image makeover. Being one of the oldest
footwear brand in India, Bata has been suffering from a negative impression that it is not moving
with trend and has not collection of stylish, trendy and youth demanding products.
Bata India has improved its product portfolio in last few years, added more products in the
leather segment and increasing focus on women’s segment. Today, premium brands are growing
at a faster pace and a similar trend in footwear is also visible as consumers are shifting from
unorganized to organized and from domestic brands to international and premium brands. BIL
have planned to create the brand as a one stop shop, as they have their reaches in many
segment like leather, plastic, rubber and also have expanded catalogues for accessories like
bags, belts, wallets, scarves and sunglasses for all age group and gender.

Shifting towards premium products-
As demand for branded and premium products are increasing, Bata India is changing its brand
perception from masses to premium segment to catch up with the current trend. They came up
with premium brand HUSH Puppies, Ambassador, Mocassino and Naturalizer to make their
presence in the premium segments.
They have 34 exclusive stores of hush puppies and 37 shop-in-shops in CY 2013, where in CY12
They had 15 exclusive new stores and 12 shop-in-shops stores across the country.
We expect, this would help to change the consumer’s perception that Bata India caters top to
bottom with premium to value product.
Increased contribution from women and kids segment to drive growth- In the last 8
years, BIL has expanded its product portfolio, added more brands in all segments such as Hush
puppies in premium leather segment, Marie Claire in women segment with North Star, Angry
Birds in kids segments and broaden catalogue of accessories at various price levels.
As demand for women and kids footwear are rising very rapidly, BIL is increasing the display of
women and kids footwear across all stores to stimulus the sales per store. Indian footwear
market is growing with a CAGR of 15%, men's contribute around 60% of footwear market
against women's share of 30%. Men’s market is growing at a CAGR of 10% & women's market is
growing at a much faster CAGR of 20 %. Earlier, women and kids segment contribution was
accounted for ~25%-30% and rest of the demand was coming from men’s segment only.
We believe that, only Bata India has such big product portfolio with strong distribution network in
Indian footwear market for consumers across numerous price levels.
Scale up in e-commerce- BIL is continuously upgrading their website with wider range of
offering as well as revises of products on the leading fashion and lifestyle portals in the country.
BIL provides many festive and promotional offers to increase online volume growth.
The E-commerce segment of the company generated volume growth of almost 100% in 2013
compared to the previous year 2012 (though lower base) and has also tied-up with leading e-
commerce players like Flipkart, Jabong, Myntra, etc. for expanding volumes through e-
commerce. BIL E-Commerce business reached approx. 750 cities across India with its shipments.
New tie-up with leading online players: In order to attract more e-customers, new
partnerships have been entered into by tying up with leading online players e.g., Flipkart,
Jabong, E-bay, HomeShop18, Myntra, Rediff, Indiatimes, etc. As a part of the strategy, Cash on
Delivery service was launched for the end customer to facilitate the shopping ease. The
company's website www.bata.in has experienced a tremendous growth in traffic of approx. 2.5
Million visitors.
By 2015 it plans to start a click and pick model in India or may be a click and reserve model,
where a customer can choose a pair of shoes that they like and pick it up later from the store.
Also if they don't like the shoes that they picked up on the e-commerce platform then they can
get something else. With the help of these marketing initiatives they are trying to integrate
digital with our retail stores to attract more customers through e-commerce.
Fixing of supply chain issues may take back Bata India – Bata's revenue fell 3% on a yoy
in Q4CY15 and 2% qoq. Delay in dispatches to some of its stores due to teething problems with
its new supply chain management system is the main reason behind the fall in revenue. Since
there has not been a fall in demand, sales should pick up once the supply chain issues are
resolved, expected to happen in the July-September quarter of 2015-16.
We expect that, the initiatives taken by Bata such as shifting towards premium
segment footwear, increased outsourcing and increasing its attention in Tier-II/Tier-
III cities and restructure its retail operations by focusing on larger format stores with
standardized store displays with broader range and choice of footwear to customers
would benefit the company to sustain its growth momentum.

Returns ratios to continue strong: We believe, due to the optimum efficiency of operations,
expansion in EBITDA margin, and decreasing D/E would help the company to get better returns
going forwards.

We expect that, with the strong volume growth and earnings growth, the company can expand
its retail outlets through internal accruals.
Key Risk-
Upswing in raw material prices- A lot of raw materials used by the footwear industry are
derived from crude oil. In the case of a surge in crude oil prices, company’s cost-effectiveness
might get vulnerable.
Globally Competitive Business Environment: The Indian organized footwear industry faces
strong competition from unorganized players, especially in the mass segment. With ever
increasing competition from the local players as well as global giants in the Footwear Industry
with deep pockets, maintaining the existing market share and leadership position in organized
retail footwear industry is a major challenge. There will also be competition from countries like
China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Brazil as products are more competitive compared with
India.
Increase in lease rentals- Any increase in lease rentals can erode margins of the company.

Valuation:
BIL has been growing impressively in past years and we expect it will continue with the similar
trend to ensure the leadership position and continuous progression in the footwear industry.
We believe that Bata India is poised for a healthy on the back of new product mix, robust
distribution network, improving earnings, cost effectiveness and right growth strategy. At CMP of
Rs1040, the stock is trading at around 29x CY15E PE. We value the Company at P/E of 30x to
arrive at our price target of Rs.1420 (37% upside)
