Bata Shoe Company (Bangladesh) Ltd. has achieved a new milestone in the first quarter of 2026, posting record revenue and profit amid global economic uncertainty and changing local market conditions.

Driven by strong Eid-season demand, strategic business execution, and sustained consumer confidence, the leading multinational footwear company further strengthened its market position during the January–March quarter.

Bata reported sales of Tk 379.7 crore in the first quarter of 2026. Increased festive shopping ahead of Eid, a diversified product lineup, and steady nationwide consumer demand played a key role in the growth. The company said its extensive retail network, expansion of alternative sales channels, and positive response to new collections also contributed to the strong performance.

Despite rising inflation, logistics expenses, brand promotion costs, and overall operating expenditures, Bata Bangladesh maintained strong operational momentum through efficient production planning, controlled business management, and strategic sourcing initiatives. The company also continued offering affordable footwear products across the country while maintaining competitive mid-range pricing.

According to its unaudited financial report, Bata posted an operating profit of Tk 58.5 crore and a net profit after tax of Tk 37.1 crore in the first quarter, marking the highest quarterly profit in the company’s history.

The company noted that the timing of Eid within the first quarter significantly boosted consumer demand at the beginning of the year. To meet the increased demand, Bata maximized the use of its production capacity and further strengthened product sourcing and supply chain management.

Bata Bangladesh was also recognized as the highest taxpayer in the leather and footwear sector for the seventh consecutive year, reinforcing its contribution to the national economy alongside its business success.

Looking ahead, the company plans to continue focusing on innovation, customer experience, and timely footwear collections while maintaining its longstanding reputation for quality and reliability in the Bangladeshi market.
