Record Sales and Dividend Boost

Super Retail Group Limited (ASX: SUL), the owner of Rebel Sport and Supercheap Auto, has reported record full-year revenue of $4.1 billion, supported by stronger second-half sales momentum. The company also exceeded profit forecasts, prompting the board to declare a fully franked final dividend of 34 cents per share, along with a special dividend of 30 cents.

Profit and Margins Performance

For the year ending June 28, group sales rose 4.5%, while earnings before interest and tax remained steady at $400 million. Normalised net profit slipped 4% to $232 million but still came in around 6% above consensus expectations due to stronger-than-expected sales, resilient gross margins, and well-managed costs. At the time of writing, Super Retail shares were trading at AU$18.56, up 12.25%.

Segment Highlights

Growth in automotive maintenance products powered Supercheap Auto, while Rebel saw solid demand across footwear, licensed apparel, women’s activewear, and fitness technology. Both Supercheap Auto and Rebel outperformed analyst earnings forecasts. Although group gross margins were pressured by higher theft levels at Rebel, both Supercheap Auto and Macpac achieved margin expansion.

Outlook for FY26

Chief executive Anthony Heraghty described FY25 as a strong year despite a competitive and challenging retail environment. He noted that the retailer had entered the new financial year with positive momentum, recording like-for-like sales growth of 3.1% and total sales growth of 5% in the first seven weeks. Super Retail’s strong results, healthy dividend payouts, and encouraging early FY26 trading suggest the company remains well positioned to navigate industry challenges while capitalising on category strengths across its core brands.
