Being in Latest Fashion trends is extremely important for this Business-
We have adopted a fashion-forward approach to new product launches to ensure that we have a faster design conceptualization to product commercialization cycle. We are typically able to launch our products within 120 to 180 days from the date of product conceptualization…
New launches take 120-180 days from design to Retail. It allows them to do two season launches in a year. 48-member design team. Designing for a season begins nearly six to eight months prior to the upcoming season. The sketches are sent to heads of departments and key decision makers. Thereafter, our prototype team makes prototypes of our products using samples in various colors.

ROCE –
India Market Size & Growth Prospects (Athleisure) – India is mirroring the global trend with respect to sports and athleisure and outpaced the global growth rate of the segment.

Manufacturing Capabilities – Total 29 million pairs capacity. Haridwar Facility is responsible for manufacturing our uppers, Ganaur Facility is responsible for manufacturing 37.50% of the soles. Dehradun Facility, Baddi Facility and Campus AI Baddi Facility are responsible for assembling all of our products
Outsourced Job Work – Our cost of materials consumed includes job work charges for the manufacturing process, it was 10.62% of the total revenue
Capacity Utilization –
Dehradun & Baddi are at an average CU of 75%, Im not sure if in the footwear industry factories operate at 100% CU, If that isn’t the case then they will need Capex soon. IF they don’t have enough internal accruals, they might have to raise debt or do QIP. The reason I am looking at these two units only because they do 100% assembly in house. A significant portion of Upper and Sole manufacturing is outsourced

Usually, apparel, shoes etc manufacturers have some amount of provisions for returns in the Balance Sheet, need to find out what is the annual provision percentage to sales. 2022 AR not out yet

i have a tracking position, and will be adding as the story develops. at the onset, i like the company and there is good growth in revenue and profits. it fits well in the consumption theme. the asp of “615” caters to a huge section of the population so long term growth story looks good. They will have to keep coming up with new designs to be relevant in the market. Adidas, Puma, Nike are constantly launching new designs. its a very competitive market. however at a lower price range, probably CAMPUS has an edge, time will tell. Waiting for their 2022 Annual Report
