For the 52 weeks ending 23 April, Superdry recorded group sales of GBP600.7m (US$732.9m).
However, Superdry noted sales were down 14% when compared to the pre-pandemic 2019/20 financial year.
Store revenues were up 59.8% year on year to GBP224.5m but down on a two-year comp. Its e-commerce arm saw sales slide 24% to GBP153.4m which it attributed to the reopening of physical retail and a reduction on promotional activity.
Julian Dunkerton, chief executive officer, said: “We continue to execute our strategy of returning the Superdry brand to a premium position and I am excited by the progress we are making. Despite the ongoing tough trading conditions and turmoil in the market, our focus on full-price trading will deliver a strong gross margin improvement for FY22.
“We are conscious of the cost-of-living pressures on consumers, meaning that now, more than ever, we must continue to deliver product that stands for what is important to them: quality, style and sustainability at great value.
