Bata India Q1 net profit plunges 70% to Rs 52 cr

New Delhi: Footwear maker Bata India Ltd on Monday reported a 70 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 52 crore in the first quarter ended June 30, 2025, impacted by higher expenses amid sluggish consumption momentum and a high base effect.

The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 174 crore in the corresponding quarter last fiscal, Bata India said in a regulatory filing.

Consolidated revenue from operations in the first quarter stood at Rs 941.85 crore against Rs 944.63 crore in the year-ago period, it added.

Bata India said during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and year ended March 31, 2025, the board of directors of the holding company approved the sale of a freehold industrial land to an unrelated party for a consideration of Rs 156 crore.

The sale deed has been executed and the total consideration has also been received on the same date. There is a gain on sale of the aforesaid land (net of related expenses) of Rs 133.95 crore, which has been disclosed as an exceptional item for the year-ago quarter, it added.

Total expenses in the quarter under review were higher at Rs 884 crore compared to Rs 878 crore in the same period last fiscal.

“The quarter witnessed headwinds accentuated by fluctuating weather patterns and geopolitical uncertainties. Amidst these and considering the demand trends, we pushed ahead our affordability initiatives across categories to drive volume-based growth,” Bata India MD and CEO Gunjan Shah said.

The company said results for the quarter “demonstrate disciplined execution of our strategies on affordability, investment in marketing and technology, elevating customer experience in the face of sluggish consumption momentum during the quarter”.

On the outlook, Shah said, “We are optimistic about the consumption recovery towards balance of this year, backed by our strong market positioning and wide network while maintaining strong focus on cost efficiencies.”

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
