Citing economic slowdown as the reason for decline in sales, the company said, "Due to slowdown in economic conditions, revenue growth has been hampered. Moreover, this period is always under pressure due to lean season in footwear demand."
Overall expenses during the quarter under review were at Rs 244.78 crore, an increase of 9.03%, compared to Rs 224.5 crore in the same period last year.
The company said it is working on rationalisation of non-performing retail shoppes by either closing or dislocating.
