LONDON (Reuters) - SuperGroup (L:SGP), the owner of clothing brand Superdry, posted a 30 percent fall in profit in the first half, a period when its summer ranges received a mixed reaction from shoppers and warm autumn weather hurt sales of winter items.
The group reported underlying pretax profit of 12.5 million pounds for the six months to Oct 25, down from 17.9 million a year earlier, on revenue up 8.4 percent to 208.2 million pounds. Like-for-like sales fell 4.1 percent, it said.
It stuck to its outlook given on Oct 31 of full-year profit between 60 million and 65 million pounds.
