Topic: Relaxo Footwear Posted: 08/Jan/2010 at 4:14pm |
I'll be brief but would initiate the discussion:
A delhi based company, Relaxo Footwear,
http://www.relaxofootwear.com/ (website broken at the moment) now intending to expand in Gujarat and some southern states. I also later discovered the RJ had it in 2006-07, not sure how long or when has got tired of holding it.
Its products are sold in over few thousand shops but has about 90 EBOs.
Present locations:
http://www.relaxofootwear.com/searchretailshop.asp
Why I have some confidence in it coz I've used their products for many years as Ive lived in delhi for good 20 years, their "chappals" used to be cheaper than those of Bata and lasted longer.
Company has plans to "gradually" expand EBOs in next two years. Also there are "plans" to extend to other segments such as accessories and perhaps garments. Not a single shop was closed down in retail shakeup, they cater to lower income strata and middle segment.
Googling long enough will dish out all above facts.
Five year sales followed by net profits in Rs Crores
FY09 FY08 FY07 FY06 FY05
409.24 305.66 235.94 200.86 215.47
14.23 10.46 6.60 3.26 3.72
HI FY10
Sales followed by net profits in Rs Crores
261
19
My purchase price is between 190 and 200, started buying 5 days back.
Regards
Amit

Lots of people in market are looking at the feet / leather type business of the market
1 Fisrt call: Liberty shoe
2. HT2710: Mayur unicoaters
3. Amit DP: Relaxo
4. News channels / blogs: Crew boss
why don't we classify a sector like "Looking at shoe and belt of market"?

Stockmarket is a weird place. For every person who buys a stock there is a person who sells it and both think they are very smart.

Negatives:
------------
- Debt increase (albiet for capacity expansion)
- No increase in dividend ( although for first time in several years interim divided of 10% has been declared in October on Face value 5Rs, besides regular 15%)
- Non tech savvy promoters/website does not work properly
Others attributes:
==================
Brand positioning is a "bargain brand", med/good quality with low price.
I doubt any delhiite over 25 years old cant recall this brand, they'd advertise very frequently on radio.
Another recollection is one of their franchised where I used to buy from, Darya Ganj in Delhi, was right next shop to Bata ( shared same wall) , it was cramped/ size of a bathroom ! - but I always bought from there
Its worth finding out how their existing shops look like.
