The reasons behind Bata’s great comeback
Bata said that the reason behind this massive deviation is the company’s revenue witnessing a 426% increase.
Bata achieved this revenue by clearing products by offering bulk discounts, which boosted sales on a massive scale.
Besides increasing sales, the EPS also increased because the company maintained its expenses in proportion to turnover.
