Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
The company operates in a single segment (Footwear and Leather). Revenue from operations for H1 FY26 reached INR 124.81 Cr, representing a 12.08% YoY growth compared to INR 111.36 Cr in H1 FY25. Q2 FY26 revenue was INR 74.77 Cr, up 19.33% from INR 62.66 Cr in Q2 FY25.
Geographic Revenue Split
Not disclosed in available documents; however, the company is headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, which serves as its primary operational hub.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin for FY25 was 10.26%, a decline from 12.33% in FY24. Operating Profit Margin also decreased to 14.70% in FY25 from 16.98% in FY24, indicating rising operational costs or pricing pressures in the retail footwear market.
EBITDA Margin
Operating Profit Margin stood at 14.70% for FY25, reflecting a 13.43% YoY decrease from 16.98%. This compression suggests that while sales are 'satisfactory,' the cost of goods sold or administrative overheads are growing faster than top-line revenue.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is subject to cyclical demand and pricing trends. The company is positioning itself by maintaining high liquidity, with Current Assets of INR 343.28 Cr as of September 2025, to navigate market fluctuations.
Competitive Landscape
The company faces competition in the primary footwear markets, evidenced by the pressure on margins (Net Profit Margin down to 10.26%).
Competitive Moat
The company's moat is built on its strong brand recognition in the leather footwear segment and a robust, debt-free balance sheet (Debt-Equity 0.01), which provides a significant margin of safety against industry downturns.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to economic developments in India and changes in consumer spending patterns, as footwear is a consumer-discretionary item.
Consumer Behavior
Demand is cyclical, meaning revenue is likely tied to festive seasons and wedding periods in India.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are impacted by alterations in government regulations and tax regimes related to the leather and footwear industry.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company is subject to Indian corporate tax laws and GST regimes. Current Tax Assets stood at INR 0.33 Lakhs as of September 2025.

Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Raw material price volatility and cyclical demand are the primary risks. A 25% or greater change in key ratios like Inventory Turnover (which increased 27.83%) indicates potential risks in working capital efficiency.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Not disclosed, but likely concentrated in Eastern India based on the Kolkata headquarters.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on raw material suppliers is noted as a 'crucial factor,' though no specific vendor names are provided.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company uses accounting software with database-level logging to prevent unauthorized data changes, indicating a focus on digital integrity for financial reporting.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables are low at INR 77.88 Lakhs (Sept 2025) compared to revenue, indicating a primarily cash-and-carry retail model with low credit risk. Debtors to Sales ratio is only 0.68 days.
