• Ramping up distribution channel in India
The company is now focusing on the domestic market in a big way. “Liberty Shoes is
bullish about retail. It is now ramping up retail and distribution channel in India.”
• New Launches
Liberty launches Autumn-Winter 2009 Collection
• ICRA revises `A1` to `A2+` rating to Liberty Shoes
Credit rating agency, ICRA has revised the rating assigned to the Rs.300 million
Commercial Paper/Short Term Debt (STD) programme of Liberty Shoes (LSL) from A1 to
A2+. The revised rating indicates above-average-credit quality in the short term1.
The rating revision takes into account continued pressure on operating margins of LSL
which coupled with its high working intensity has affected its debt protection indicators.
LSL`s operating margins have declined from around 15% in FY 2006 to around 12% in FY
2008 and further to around 11% in the current year (for nine month period ending
December 2008). The rating however draws comfort from the experienced management
of the company with long track-record in the footwear industry, established position of
LSL in the mid-price segment of footwear industry and fiscal benefits available to LSL`s
production facilities in Roorkee and Ponta Sahib which enhances its competitiveness over
the un-organized segment.
Going forward, ICRA expects LSL`s revenue growth and profitability to remain under
pressure because of the competitive nature of the industry on account of significant
presence of un-organized sector and availability of cheap imported products. However,
the debt protection metrics of the company are expected to remain adequate because of
limited capital expenditure plans of the company and its low repayment obligations.
• Foot Mart's future uncertain
Foot Mart Retail, the joint venture between Pantaloon Retail (Future Group) and Liberty
Shoes, seems to be on shaky grounds due to a couple of operational issues. The JV did not
take off as planned, and Future Group may pump in more funds and up its stake in the
venture. While Liberty Shoes will continue to be a stakeholder in the business, the
operational control could move to Future Group. Currently, Liberty Shoes has a 49% stake
in the JV.
The JV was signed in 2007 and the first value-for-money format, ‘Shoe Factory’ outlet, was
Firstcall India Equity Advisors Pvt Ltd 6
launched across the country. The size of the format was too large, which impacted the
profitability of the business. Many such stores didn’t get space in the best of malls, and
the kind of locational advantage needed in the footwear business. Future Group is keen to
restructure the business and launch smaller formats to improve business feasibility. Also,
given the growing pressure on operational costs and thinning margins in organized retail,
the group is keen to strengthen avenues where margins could be higher, especially in the
fashion segment. The branded footwear retail chain was to give the partners a strong
foothold in the retail business.
The company had announced plans to rollout 100 stores in five years, with Shoe Factory
being set up in shopping malls and as independent stores to market branded and
unbranded footwear.
The Indian footwear retail market may grow at over 20% during the next few years.
Growing brand and fashion awareness and rising disposable income are expected to step
up growth rates of the market.

Retail Industry
Retail Sector is the most booming sector in the Indian economy. Some of the biggest players of
the world are going to enter the industry soon. It is on the threshold of bringing the next big
revolution after the IT sector. The sector contributes 10% of the GDP, and is estimated to show
20% annual growth rate by the end of the decade as against the current growth rate of 8.5%.
Led by the rising purchasing power, changing consumption patterns, increased access to
information and communication technology and improving infrastructure, the rural retail market
is estimated to cross US$ 45.32 billion mark by 2010 and US$ 60.43 billion by 2015. As per the
National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) reports, there are 720 million consumers
across 6, 27,000 villages in rural India. India's rural markets offer a sea of opportunity for the
retail sector. The urban-retail split in consumer spending stands at 9:11, with rural India
accounting for 55 per cent of private retail consumption. Rural India accounted for almost half of
the Indian retail market, which was worth about US$ 273.64 billion in September 2008. With
most of the retail markets getting saturated in tier-I and tier-II cities, the next phase of growth is
likely to be seen in the rural markets.
