Superdry had stood its ground and opted out from discounting (<strong>70% of its sales came from full-price product<\/strong>\u00a0versus 52% in the same period in the prior year), which led to a decline in sales but a higher gross margin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Store sales were the hardest hit and down -11.7%<\/strong> during the period to \u00a3157.3m, but e-commerce was also down -10.5% to \u00a357.9m and wholesale down -11.2% to \u00a3152.6m.<\/p>\n<p>The decline in e-commerce had slowed as the company said it had <strong>begun injecting more choice into the range,<\/strong> adding a higher level of personalisation and improving customer experience.<\/p>\n<p>Dunkerton said:\u00a0<span class=\"df\">\"We are making <strong>good progress with the start to our turnaround plan for Superdry<\/strong>, returning the business to its design led roots. We have always said it will take time, but we have a strong team which is working incredibly hard to deliver this plan. I'm genuinely excited by new injection product which has started to land in stores for this peak and even more <strong>excited about the new ranges signed off for next year. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"df\">\"We are <strong>moving the business away from a reliance on constant promotions<\/strong>, and while this focus on full price sales has affected revenue in the first half, this is being partially offset by a better gross margin performance. There is good momentum in the business, and I remain confident of returning Superdry to sustainable long-term growth.\"<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":135336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,10494],"tags":[12268,10812],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Superdry sales drop -11.3% in &quot;year of reset&quot; - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Superdry revenue tumbled -11.3% to \u00a3367.8m in the 26 weeks to 26 October, the company has revealed.
