Trading statement
Super Group is scheduled to release its financial results for the six months
ending 31 December 2013 on or about 10 February 2014.
Notwithstanding the difficult South African economic environment, Super
Group has seen a reasonable increase in sales volumes across most of its
businesses. The improvement in sales and the continued stringent control of
operational costs are expected to result in a satisfactory improvement of
earnings for the period to 31 December 2013.
Shareholders are advised that Super Group is expecting to report an increase
in consolidated net profit after taxation for the six months ending 31
December 2013 of between 17% and 25%, resulting in an increase in earnings
per share (“EPS”) of between 20% and 30%, an increase in headline earnings
per share (“HEPS”) of between 23% and 30% and an increase in Adjusted
Headline Earnings (“Adjusted HEPS”) per share of between 27% and 35%
compared to the results for the period ended 31 December 2012. The Group
reported a consolidated net profit after taxation of R362,3 million, EPS of
97,6 cents, HEPS of 95,3 cents and Adjusted HEPS of 97,2 cents for the
comparable six months ended 31 December 2012.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not
been reviewed or reported on by Super Group’s external auditors.
