Financial condition of Bata India Ltd
Year over year, Bata India Ltd. has been able to grow revenues from 12.8B to 15.5B. Most impressively, the company has been able to reduce the percentage of sales devoted to selling, general and administrative costs from 32.28% to 21.40%. This was a driver that led to a bottom line growth from 883.7M to 2.6B .
P/E Ratio The PE ratio is much more sensitive to changes in expected growth rates when interest rates are low than when they are high. The reason is simple. Growth produces cash flows in the future and the present value of these cash flows is much smaller at high interest rates. Consequently the effect of changes in the growth rate on the present value tend to be smaller.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths ? Largest footwear retailer in India. ? Largest market share in the organized footwear segment. ? Strong Brand Image. Weaknesses ? ROE decreased over the last one year due to a threefold increase in tax outgo. Opportunities ? The nation's consumption of leather products is expected to grow at around 10% per annum, which will be largely driven by the rising disposable income and the increased preference for leather footwear. ? The unorganized segment constitutes 80% of this market, indicating a significant marketing opportunity for organized players. ? The per capita consumption is 1.1pairs per annum, opportunity for increase in consumption. Threats ? Increased competition from leading multinational players in the sports segment.
? Threat from non-specialist' retailers like apparel retailers diversifying into footwear and discount hypermarkets and retailers introducing and promoting their own brands (DoB's) at competitive prices.

Most impressively, the company has been able to reduce the percentage of sales devoted to selling, general and administrative costs from 32.28% to 21.40%. This was a driver that led to a bottom line growth from 883.7M to 2.6B .
P/E Ratio The PE ratio is much more sensitive to changes in expected growth rates when interest rates are low than when they are high. The reason is simple. Growth produces cash flows in the future and the present value of these cash flows is much smaller at high interest rates.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths ? Largest footwear retailer in India. ? Largest market share in the organized footwear segment. ? Strong Brand Image. Weaknesses ? ROE decreased over the last one year due to a threefold increase in tax outgo. Opportunities ? The nation's consumption of leather products is expected to grow at around 10% per annum, which will be largely driven by the rising disposable income and the increased preference for leather footwear. ? The unorganized segment constitutes 80% of this market, indicating a significant marketing opportunity for organized players. ? The per capita consumption is 1.1pairs per annum, opportunity for increase in consumption. Threats ? Increased competition from leading multinational players in the sports segment.
? Threat from non-specialist' retailers like apparel retailers diversifying into footwear and discount hypermarkets and retailers introducing and promoting their own brands (DoB's) at competitive prices.
