Commenting on the results and performance, Ramesh Kumar Dua, chairman and managing director said: FY25 was a year of consolidation for Relaxo. While our topline was impacted by muted demand in the mid-range footwear segment and internal restructuring of our distribution model, these were strategic interventions aimed at setting the business on a stronger, more agile footing.
We believe that this sets us up to grow profitably in the coming years. As it stands, we firmly believe this is the bottom and while there are still some moving parts in work in the next few quarters, the trajectory will trend upwards from here. We believe the full effect of the restructuring and other investments will start showing up from the second half of fiscal FY26.
Key initiatives implemented by the company include optimising our distributor and retailer network through the Relaxo Parivaar app, pivoting to brand as seller model & launching new product range for the e-commerce channel, establishing a tech-enabled warehouse for the shoe division, and enhancing our supply chain operations. Looking ahead at FY26, our priority is to drive profitable growth.
While the topline is expected to remain steady with a potential upward bias, our efforts will be directed toward EBITDA enhancement, led by operational efficiencies, digital initiatives, and a sharper product focus.
Relaxo Footwears is engaged in production of Hawaii slippers, light weight slippers, canvas shoes, PVC footwear etc.

'Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge': Karnataka Deputy CM's epic take on rumours of buying franchise
Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar on Wednesday shut down rumours about him buying the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) franchise in epic fashion. His statement came a day after RCB owners, Diageo India — the Indian arm of UK-based Diageo Plc — responded to speculation that part or all of the IPL franchise was up for sale "I am not a mad man. I'm just a member of the Karnataka Cricket Association from my younger days, that's all. I don't have time, though I had offers to be part of the management... Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge," Shivakumar told news agency ANI. Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report said that the British distiller was in discussion with potential advisers on selling the club. Diageo owns the team through its Indian unit, United Spirits Ltd., and may seek a valuation of as much as $2 billion. Following the rumours, the shares of United Spirits, registered with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), gained a 3.3 per cent increase in its price, this hitting a five-month high on Tuesday morning. This forced the BSE to sent out a mail to Diageo, who then responded saying the reports were merely speculative in nature. Mital Sanghvi, the company secretary, informed the regulating body of the Indian Stock Market on the mail saying, "The company would like to clarify that the aforesaid media reports are speculative in nature and it is not pursuing any such discussion. This is for your information and records."
