And over to you, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sushil Batra<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Chief Financial Officer<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Prerna. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us on this earnings call for the quarter and fiscal year ended 31 March, 2023. The earnings press release and the investor presentation has been uploaded on the stock exchanges as well as at our website and we hope you have had the chance to go through these.<\/p>\n<p>Before we begin the question-and-answer, I will quickly go through the Q4 and FY &#8217;23 performance, starting with Q4. Q4 FY &#8217;23 we recorded revenue of INR765 765 crores as against INR698 crores in Q4 FY &#8217;22 recording a growth of 10% year-on-year. On a Q-on-Q basis, the revenue increased by 12%. This is mainly due to volume growth across all categories. Our Q4 FY &#8217;23 EBITDA was at INR118 crores, up by 6% year-on-year from INR111 crores in the corresponding quarter of previous year. EBITDA margins were at 15.4% in Q4 FY &#8217;23 as against 15.9% in the corresponding quarter. On a Q-on-Q basis. EBITDA margins have grown substantially by 481 basis points due to selling of low cost inventory along with mostly old inventory.<\/p>\n<p>PAT was at INR63 crores. On a sequential year basis, PAT grew by 110% from INR30 crores in Q3 FY &#8217;23. PAT margin for Q4 FY &#8217;23 was 8.3%. Our price efforts during the last quarters have resulted a good momentum and we have continued our market share recovery in all major segments during this quarter without relying much on discount and offers.<\/p>\n<p>Now moving on to full year FY &#8217;23. Despite the challenging environment last year, our strong team responded effectively and our commitment to maintaining our high standard of excellence have made us successful. Revenue for FY &#8217;23 was at INR2,783 crores, up by 5% year-on-year from INR2,653 crores in FY &#8217;22. EBITDA was at INR336 crores as against INR416 crores in FY &#8217;22. EBITDA margin was at 12.1% as against 15.7% in FY &#8217;22. Margins were affected primarily by the high pressure on [Indecipherable] during most of the year. PAT was at INR150 crores in FY &#8217;23. We are now a debt free company with robust cash flow operations due to strong acknowledgement.<\/p>\n<p>During the year, the company incurred a capex of INR174 crores. With the stabilization of raw material prices, we are currently experiencing strong demand and hold an optimistic view of the future. Our company strategically is positioned to take advantage of the opportunities within the industry allowing us to further expand our market share. Our key strengths lie our in-house manufacturing capabilities, quality of our brand is strong, recall of our brand. We remain dedicated to upholding this strength and we&#8217;ll perfectly try to maintain the integrity. We have confidence that our continual efforts will yield positive outcome for us in the times ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you. Now we can open the floor for questions.<\/p>\n<h2>Questions and Answers:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Operator<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[Operator Instructions] The first question comes from the line of Aliasgar Shakir from Motilal Oswal. Please go ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aliasgar Shakir<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Thanks for the opportunity, sir, and congratulations to finally seeing good market share trend in your company. I have three questions. First is on the current quarter. So I understand from our channel checks that post the cleanup of the old inventory, market demand has picked up quite strongly and in fact, Relaxo has not been able to meet all the distributor demand. So is this true in multiple geographies? And do you think we would have lost any revenue because of that factor? If you could just quantify what could have been the impact of that in this quarter and has that been now subsided or we are still seeing demand not being able to fully met?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, this is Gaurav Dua. What you said is partly correct that there is an upsurge in demand and we are seeing it. One reason is that we have corrected the prices and second, this is a peak season for us for open footwear as we are 75% open and 25% close. So this is the open footwear starting from January to June to July. So &#8212; and regarding the shortages, we are managing, we have inventory with us and the uptick we have seen across India for the open footwear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aliasgar Shakir<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Got it. So can you quantify if you would have lost any revenue because of that in this quarter and has that been now subsided?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It was &#8212; it happened in February because there were some IT issues, which has been corrected and now we are able to cover. We have the inventory, sufficient inventory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aliasgar Shakir<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. Got it. Second question is on your margins. So while we have significantly reduced prices, we have seen impact on margins. So can you share &#8212; I mean, what is the trend we should expect in the coming quarters as raw material prices are also softening? So should we see that helping us and therefore the impact on margin that we saw in this quarter should improve? How should we see that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m Ramesh Kumar Dua. Markets remain challenging and we have been very cautious with respect to pricing of our article so that we always have a good market share as the sales are concerned. The EBITDA margin that you have seen in this quarter that is likely to continue and there&#8217;s likely to be some improvement also.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aliasgar Shakir<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Got it. Thank you, sir. This is very helpful. On the gross margin also, should we see improvement because of the raw material price softening?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some improvement, yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aliasgar Shakir<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Understood. And just last question on the close footwear in the sportswear category, I understand that we have made a lot of changes in our design team, online team. If you could share some thoughts in terms of what is the strategy in the sportswear in terms of the new product development? And what is the aim in the next three, four years? Can we expect to reach about INR1,000 crores in three, four years time? I mean, if you can just share what is your strategy there?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So if you talk about Sparx sport shoes, we have grown healthily. We have done roughly around 25% growth. And before that last year, we put up a plant to cater to this need. So still the plant capacity still we have will take two to three years to reach to that level. And you&#8217;re talking about INR1,000 crores, Sparx is already INR1,000 crores plus brand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aliasgar Shakir<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but sportswear would be relatively lower or I mean just for Sparx is much bigger. But within that, sportswear, if you could just quantify how much would that be?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So that is roughly around &#8212; we do sports shoe and all sports category roughly around INR400 crores. So definitely, we have aspiration to become INR1,000 crores and it will take two years, three years, time will tell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aliasgar Shakir<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Understood. This is very helpful, sir. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Operator<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you. Next question comes from the line of Vikas Jain from Equirus. Please go ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikas Jain<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Equirus Capital Private Limited &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thank you, sir. Thank you so much for the opportunity. For the first question, definitely, we have a seen market share which you have regained from &#8212; which you had lost to earlier competitors. So &#8212; and just want to understand can we [Indecipherable] we have regained almost all of the market share or some part of it is still less?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Can you repeat the question? It&#8217;s not clear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikas Jain<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Equirus Capital Private Limited &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Sir, I just mentioned about the market share. So have like regained the entire market share and reached to what we were at the pre-COVID times or probably some part of it is still more or less to gain?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yes. Definitely, what we have lost market share in last quarter one or quarter two last year, we are seeing the good momentum now and we are gaining the market share back. So definitely, we will recover. We have recovered. Now we&#8217;ll recover more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikas Jain<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Equirus Capital Private Limited &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sure. Okay. And sir, second question with respect to the demand. Ramesh sir did mention that the demand environment continues to remain challenging. So probably is it like the &#8212; how would you &#8212; some comments with respect to how is the underlying market growing? And what do you think it will take for the market to normalize in what time period according to your estimates?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So actually what we are hearing from the market there that we see &#8212; and this festive. There is demand contraction happening in some parts of India. Rural India is still not able to cover up what &#8212; contribute what it was contributing, but I think this is a temporary phenomenon. The inflation is now getting controlled and we will definitely see the uptake in coming quarters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikas Jain<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Equirus Capital Private Limited &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Understood. And sir, with respect to last &#8212; again, I would like to &#8212; with respect to penetration in South India, so how &#8212; can you broadly break our revenues across on a geographic basis? What is the contribution from the all four, North, West, East and South?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So North contributes maximum to around 44%, put by East 22%, 28% West and 15% is South. And we are maintaining this from last year. It is similar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikas Jain<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Equirus Capital Private Limited &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sure. And with respect to more distributors hiring in the South. Is that on time or how many have you added this year probably?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So see, it&#8217;s not great achievement in adding more distributors. We have maintained what we were having. So always there will be a churn new addition and some people leaving. So it&#8217;s roughly around same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikas Jain<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Equirus Capital Private Limited &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay, sir. Thank you so much for the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Operator<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you. Next question comes from the line of Kaustubh Pawaskar from Sharekhan by BNP Paribas. Please go ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kaustubh Pawaskar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Sharekhan &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Good afternoon, sir. Thanks for giving me the opportunity. Sir, my question is on the price, sir, what we have taken. So we have taken the price such to reduce the pricing gap between the lower price &#8212; the products which are [Indecipherable] and low price point products. But since you said that raw material prices have corrected, have we seen any price reduction undertaken by those bottom of the pyramid players or lower price point players in the market and because of which again the pricing difference what we were planning to reduce it has again gone up? Any sense on that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>No. Now our prices are very competitive and there is no room for further price cut. We don&#8217;t have competition while we are very competitive based on shoe. And so I don&#8217;t think there is any room competitors can do much about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kaustubh Pawaskar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Sharekhan &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. So you don&#8217;t see any further price points happening in the market, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>No, no, not so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kaustubh Pawaskar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Sharekhan &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. And sir, my second question, you have been consistently talking about expanding your capacity. So any guidance for capex going ahead and where you are planning to add capacity?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>No. Last year, whatever capacity we wanted to expand that has been expanded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kaustubh Pawaskar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Sharekhan &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay.

That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kaustubh Pawaskar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Sharekhan &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. Any thoughts on your retail expansion plans by FY &#8217;23 how much was reach and where you want to take it over the next three years?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Earlier, we were maintaining around 400.

Now we are planning to have 465 this year. 65 more additions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kaustubh Pawaskar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Sharekhan &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Operator<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you. Next question comes from the line of Omkar Ghugadre [Phonetic] from Shree investments. Please go ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah. My question was regarding &#8212; it&#8217;s from your investor presentation. So from FY &#8217;21 to FY &#8217;23, the average realization has gone up, but the number of pairs sold has decreased. So &#8212; and in this quarter, the average realization has gone down significantly, but number of pairs sold has been &#8212; has increased dramatically. So what&#8217;s the management&#8217;s view on this going forward? What could be the average cost of pair or like how it is supposed to be in the future?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last year, we had done major [Indecipherable] in some of our categories like hawai. So that was the reason that our average selling price has gone down and our volume has gone up. So that is why volume is going up, but the average rate has gone down only because reduction in freight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So from here on, what we can expect, a stabilization here or like&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Stabilization. By and large stabilization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. You don&#8217;t see any upside from here on?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On the whole year side because in this quarter mostly open footwear got on demand. Close footwear count is a bit concession. So overall, in the year, again, you will see our last year average price of INR160 will be back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. So for the current financial year, you are expecting around INR160 per pair realization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It could be little high also depending upon the [Indecipherable] the little better than think will be further, but our around INR160, INR165 we can expect average.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. And what about the number of pairs? I mean, what could be the ballpark estimate for that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Definitely, from the last year, we are expecting double-digit growth in volume as we shared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. So around double-digit volume growth and around similar kind of average realization per pair or somewhat higher?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Okay. As far as the ROE and ROC is concerned, what&#8217;s your plan on next two, three years since it has come down dramatically again from FY &#8217;21 to FY &#8217;23?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Definitely, it will improve in coming years because last year was a tough year. Profits were under pressure and we did capex also. Next year, definitely, it will be much better than this FY &#8217;23 and we can match with FY &#8217;22. So it goes well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omkar Ghugadre<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Shree investments &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Because it has now come down to a single-digit now.

As far as the demand outlook is concerned, how are you seeing currently it is shaping up?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So currently, there is a little challenging in the market.

Any update on what could be the export percentage and how &#8212; is there any opportunity for Relaxo or like the home market is so large that you are not even bothered to think about or bothered to think about export market?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pleased to what you say.

So can you give us that impact of mix versus price cut?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Overall, lowest price article that you&#8217;re talking that is very minimal.

Sir, my second question is regarding promotions. We have seen higher promotional activity in the quarter in the market. Your competitors also in the month of January, February, March were very active by giving higher dealer commissions and even retailer commissions. So could you please elaborate how was our promotion activity in the quarter? And going forward, how are you looking at your A&amp;P spend?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So we maintain the A&amp;SP spend little bit. So in terms of [Indecipherable], we always &#8212; we have &#8212; like depends category to category. Hawai, we have different types of schemes. In shoe division, we have different type of schemes. So seeing the demand, seeing the market scenario, seeing the pricing, we decide what kind of scheme we have to run and the competition also. So we don&#8217;t benchmark exactly. We see what is our need and then we show the scheme. So we do not exceed if competition is giving more, let&#8217;s give more. We have to analyze other situations also.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ankit Kedia<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Phillip Capital &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sure.

And sir, if you can just share, one of your competitors in sports shoes is going very aggressive in EVOs [Phonetic]. While if I look at your EVO count for last four years has been pretty much flat at 390 odd EVOs. Why haven&#8217;t you expanded EVOs se in last four years? What is the risk you see in EVO expansion which has &#8212; while COVID years were the end two years, but still the expansion has not been compared to the market where we are seeing competitors expand EVOs. So if you can just talk a bit on that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re right, last two years we did expand. We wanted to make it little more efficient because we have to control our bottom line also and our article 75% is open footwear, 25% is sports shoe. Competition, you are comparing with only shoe outlets. So keeping in view balance, so our &#8212; as a strategy of our retail showroom was to showcase our products. Share of our retail outlet in the total scheme of thing is around 8%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ankit Kedia<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Phillip Capital &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Right.

So I&#8217;m just trying to understand what am I missing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s a volume growth you are referring the number which you&#8217;re mentioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manish Poddar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal AMC &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yes, volume growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We sold more open footwear in this quarter and lot of demand was there.

This point which&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Also I think it will sustain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaurav Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Whole Time Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mix is also similar, you&#8217;re right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manish Poddar<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Motilal Oswal AMC &#8212; Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So this growth is it the channel was running low on Relaxo products given our pricing and now it has stabilized?

Congrats on a good recovery in volumes as well as margins. I have two questions. Firstly, can you give the trend in terms of how the EVA prices are currently panning out? And what was the Q4 average pricing of EVA for you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>EVA prices are stabilized. This was around INR170, that is what &#8212; this is at what rate we consume. On the margin maybe it&#8217;s INR160 only. The current quarter that is going on, it is around INR160, INR155.

And secondly, on the EVO outlet strategy, so you have been at those 400 outlets for some time now and it&#8217;s heartening to see that there is some plans in terms of expanding that by around like 15% this year. Now is it that we&#8217;ve got the model right in terms of EVO and now we can target healthy margins in the business or is it more so given that EVOs are largely Sparx brand focus, so we want to target aggressively and go aggressively on the Sparx brand. So what&#8217;s the strategy out here?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ramesh Kumar Dua<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0<em>Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once we are having more efficiency in our stores, so we have started expanding this year.
