Super Group Limited is a broad-based supply chain management business based in South Africa and further operating across sub-Saharan Africa and the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

The group is primarily involved in the transport logistics industry, with activities including supply chain solutions, fleet management and dealership services. Divisions include FleetAfrica, SG Fleet, Supply Chain Africa, Supply Chain Europe, Dealerships South Africa and Dealerships Europe. The group has a strong IT focus and technology underpin.

Super Group’s history stems back to 1986. Today, Super Group shares are listed in the Industrial Transportation sector of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) with a market cap of over R14 billion. The group employs over 9 500 people.

Super Group has driven growth through a number of acquisitions in recent years, deciding to buy a number of businesses both locally and internationally. The group recently announced a move to buy a 75% stake in German niche logistics business IN tIME, for a total purchase price of around R1.1 billion. This is part of an ongoing drive to reduce dependency on the volatile South African economy. Other strategic goals include a turnaround of the African logistics business, growing the FleetAfrica customer base, securing long-term contracts, investing capital in employees, facilities and technologies and providing customers with a portfolio of innovative business solutions.

Super Group’s strategies have yielded impressive performance, with the latest financial data indicating a 30% rise in revenue to R25.4 billion and a 30% increase in operating profit to R2 billion for 2016. Net asset value per share increased by 31% to 2 196 cents. In addition to the acquisition of IN tIME, the group also concluded a deal to buy 100% of NLC in Australia and 100% of UK company Fleet Hire, whilst expanding its footprint in South Africa with the acquisition of nine car dealerships in the Western Cape. Revenue from offshore operations has now grown to 42% of revenue and 60% of operating profit. An accelerated bookbuild was also undertaken, raising R360 million to bolster the financial strength of the group.

Super Group has managed to chart a highly profitable course through a difficult environment for trade, with the logistics industry in South Africa and globally struggling with pricing pressures, increased competition and lack lustre economic growth. This has resulted in a burgeoning Super Group share price.

Through a number of key acquisitions and organic growth, Super Group has managed to cement its position as a leading global transport logistics and mobility group. Super Group shares have been one of the top performing stocks in its JSE sector, growing from just 108 cents in 2012 to R39.55 by November 2016. With a successful acquisition strategy and moves to diversify away from South Africa, there is no reason why Super Group will not continue its upward growth path. Super Group shares are undoubtedly one of the JSE’s hot stocks to buy.
