What did Super Retail Group management say?

Super Retail Group delivered a solid financial performance in FY25 with another year of record sales despite a challenging retail environment and heightened competitive activity.
Our store investments including the expansion of our network and refurbishments, contributed to revenue growth in the period. Like-for-like growth across the portfolio was mixed, with a strong performance from BCF, a solid result from rebel and softer outcomes for Supercheap Auto and Macpac. Pleasingly, growth accelerated for all four brands in the second half.
