1 ANNUAL REPORT 2021-22


FROM THE
MANAGING
DIRECTOR’S
DESK
Dear Stakeholders,

I am pleased to announce that despite the challenges of abnormally high inflationary


pressures, supply chain disruptions and the on-going Covid-19 pandemic during Financial
Year 2021-22, your Company, banking on its inherent resilience and position of strength,
managed a revenue growth of 12.47% to ` 2653 Crores with EBITDA and PAT at ` 416 Crores
and ` 233 Crores respectively. Continuing its commitment to shareholders, your Board has
recommended a final dividend of 250%, i.e. ` 2.50/- per fully paid up equity share of ` 1/-,
for the Financial Year 2021-22.

The current pandemic has disrupted industrial climate and adversely impacted business
performance globally for most industries. Even as footwear industry was anticipating a
comeback in 2022 a second wave of COVID-19 emerged, furthering the sense of uncertainty.
Nonetheless, in later part of the year Indian economy recovered well from these disruptions
aided by India’s commendable COVID vaccination coverage. Subsequently, revenues started
improving in tandem with the gradual unlock process, giving hope that your Company, with
four decades of successful experience will be able to come out of this quicker and stronger.

Keeping a steadfast focus on the consumer during the uncertainties of the year, your
Company proactively optimised its product portfolio across business verticals, etched
a sharper, more relevant product positioning for its top brands Sparx and Flite, with
continued marketing investments and expansion of retail footprint to maintain its
leadership position.

With a strategic view to harness the growing digital space your Company pioneered its
own D2C channel and launched aggressive marketing campaigns to strengthen its

2 RE L A XO FOOT W E AR S LIMITE D
presence across leading marketplaces with resultant growth, encouraging sustained investment in
this direction.

Strengthening of distribution channels, a sharper product portfolio and strategic marketing invest-
ments helped your Company to garner considerable growth from export markets with revenues
exceeding ` 100 Crores in FY ’22.

Despite periodic lockdowns and subdued consumer sentiments, your Company undertook an
extensive in-store branding refresh exercise for its Exclusive Brand Outlets (EBO) and implemented
a regimented placement planogram for effective product showcasing. As of March 31st, 2022 your
Company’s Exclusive Brand Outlet network stands at 394.

As a socially responsible corporate, your Company has adopted green fuel technology and switched
over to PNG among other initiatives for energy conservation and cost rationalisation across manufac-
turing locations. Continuing with its objective of enhancing industrial safety and good practices your
Company has now embarked upon SHE (Safety, Health & Environment) pillar of TPM.

Technology is the key to successful decision making in today’s challenging and ever evolving business
environment and so, during the year your Company improved upon its IT security posture by maintain-
ing ISO 27001:2013 certification and implementing robust security solutions like DLP (Data Leak
Protection) and CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker). Your Company also implemented SAP-ARIBA
application for better transparency and efficiency in material sourcing.

Your Company recognises employees among its core assets and as a welfare measure provided
necessary medical and financial aid to the affected families during testing times of the current pandemic.

I would like to thank all our stakeholders, customers, business partners, Board of Directors, bankers
and employees for their valuable support and belief in the Company.

With Best Regards,


Ramesh Kumar Dua
Managing Director

Risk Exposure
Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory framework which may vary over
time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows.

110 RELAXO FOOTWEARS LIMITED


Notes forming part of Financial Statements
Interest Rate Risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase
in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of liability.

Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan
participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used
to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is
exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumption.

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on investment.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a
financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities primarily, trade receivables, balances with banks
including cash and cash equivalents and from its financing activities like Investments and derivative instruments.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the customer base being large across all regions.
All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed at every reporting period. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with
creditworthy counterparties, therefore the Company does not expect any material risk on this account.

Historical experience of collecting receivables of the Company is supported by low level of past defaults and hence the credit risk is
perceived to be low.

Credit risk arising from balances with banks, including cash and cash equivalents, investment in mutual funds & perpetual bonds and
derivative instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks / mutual funds with high credit ratings.

The Company has exposure in financial assets as per details given below. The Company has set counter-party limits based on multiple
factors including financial position, credit rating, etc. (C in Crore)

of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents and the cash flows that are generated from operations. The Company’s approach to manage
liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed
conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Company manages liquidity
risk by maintaining adequate reserves, continuously monitoring forecast with actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles
of the financial assets and liabilities.

The table below provides the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

Note No. 40 : Fair Value Measurements


Fair value of financial assets and liabilities is normally determined by references to the transaction price or market price. If the fair
value is not reliably determinable, the company determines the fair value using valuation techniques that are appropriate in the
circumstances and for which sufficient data are available, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use
of unobservable inputs.

Fair Value Hierarchy


This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are
recognised and measured at fair value or amortised cost for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an
indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into
the three levels prescribed as per Ind AS 113 "Fair Value Measurement".

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement
date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
