Company Report

Super Retail Earnings: Likely More Challenges Ahead Unless Sales Momentum Picks Up.

Narrow-moat Super Retail Group delivered a solid fiscal 2024 result in the context of rampant cost inflation and subdued consumer sentiment. Sales increased by 2% on the previous corresponding period, or PCP, driven by store rollouts and strong growth in online sales. While gross margins held up year on year, cost inflation drove down pretax margins by some 150 basis points to 8.8%. Underlying NPAT dropped by 11% to AUD 242 million, just 2% short of our forecast.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The group boasts an impressive management team, evidenced in continuous working-capital improvements and driving cost efficiencies.

Bears

The core business in automotive has limited growth opportunities. Increasing complexity of cars means motorists could be less inclined to maintain their own vehicles, weighing on sales for the Supercheap Auto division.
