About Us

SuperGroup plc is the owner of the dynamic Superdry brand and
operates in the premium branded fashion clothing sector.
Superdry focuses on high quality fashionable menswear,
womenswear and accessories, fusing vintage Americana and
Japanese graphics with a British style. Superdry operates a
multi-channel business through a combination of standalone
stores, concessions, ecommerce, and UK and international
wholesale. Our global headquarters are based in Cheltenham,
Gloucestershire.

Founded in 2003, we have grown to a portfolio of 98 owned
stores and 40 concessions in the UK & Ireland, and 70 owned stores
and 15 concessions across Europe. We opened 28 owned stores in 8
countries during the 2014/2015 financial year, totalling an
additional 82,000 square feet of trading space. We also have
221 franchised and licensed Superdry stores in 69 countries
worldwide, and operate 25 international ecommerce websites,
delivering to 169 countries. We now employ in excess of 3,900
people globally.

Our ambition for growth was proven at our 2014/2015 year end
results as we announced a 12.9% rise in revenue to £486.6m and
a 2% rise in underlying profits to £63.2m. Retail revenues were
up 17% while like-for-like retail sales were up 4.8%. 18.2% of
our retail sales are now generated online. Wholesale revenues rose
by 4% to £152.5m.

Following the appointment of Euan Sutherland as CEO in October
2014, we have developed and launched a new long-term strategic
plan focusing on three key areas - to build a global lifestyle
brand; to drive awareness of the breadth of the Superdry
range; and to build a broad cross-channel relationship with
customers. As our product is at the very heart of what Superdry is all
about, we are also focusing hard on our four key product
attributes - design detail; quality obsession; innovation; and
affordability.

In March 2015, SuperGroup announced the acquisition of our
North American business from a former licensee, which immediately
gave us an estate of 15 stores and around 250 employees, with
revenues of nearly $36m. We have a structured plan in place to
drive a substantial expansion plan across the US, Canada and Mexico
by 2020. In July 2015 we announced the creation of a joint
venture business in China, in partnership with the established Chinese
retailer Trendy International, giving us a solid platform for
a major entry into the Chinese market.

Finally, in another exciting development, Golden Globe winning
actor Idris Elba is collaborating with Superdry to design and
produce a premium line of clothing which will be sold globally
in stores and online, as well as through Wholesale
partnerships from Autumn/Winter 2015. This new collaboration is part of our
strategy to create a global lifestyle brand, building on the
iconic heritage of Superdry to broaden and strengthen customer
appeal.
