Commenting on the results, Ramesh Kumar Dua, chairman managing director of Relaxo in a statement 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,' he added.
