INTRODUCTION
Super Group (the company) reported a record set of results for the year ended 30 June 2018 mainly attributable to the excellent
performance by the commodities businesses within Supply Chain Africa, good contributions from the acquired businesses, and
solid results from SG Fleet. The Dealerships SA and UK operations outperformed their respective markets. The South African
consumer business operated in an environment characterised by poor consumer demand and competitive trading conditions.
The mining commodity industry in Africa experienced an excellent year with good volume growth. However, the consumer-
facing and industrial operations in South Africa faced serious headwinds such as the increase in Value-Added Tax (VAT), fuel
price increases, high price inflation and increasing unemployment levels. The European and United Kingdom (UK) economies
also faced a myriad of challenges and uncertainties given the protracted Brexit negotiations. The Australian economic climate
improved towards the end of the first half of the financial year with conditions remaining above average for the rest of the period.
Super Group, continuing its strategy of geographically diversifying its revenue stream, reported revenue and operating profit
from its non-South African businesses of 47% (June 2017: 40%) and 60% (June 2017: 61%), respectively. The average Rand
exchange rate for the year strengthened against the Australian Dollar (AUD) and US Dollar (USD), but weakened against the
Pound Sterling (GBP) and Euro (EUR).
In October 2017, Super Group raised an amount of R500 million through an Accelerated Bookbuild placement of 12 422 360
shares at a price of R40.25 per share mainly to fund the increased shareholding in SG Fleet. The price represented a 4.1%
discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price on 12 October 2017. The book was significantly oversubscribed.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2018, Super Group acquired an additional 14 186 914 shares in SG Fleet for an amount
of R551.7 million, increasing its effective shareholding to 57% (30 June 2017: 52.4%). The Group also purchased the remaining
45% of Digistics for R102.7 million and an additional 15% in Legend for R99.7 million.
The other transactions concluded by Super Group during the year are explained in more detail in the Financial Performance and
the Divisional Review sections of this document.
Super Group recently announced that its long-term national scale rating was upgraded by Standard & Poor, effective 3 July 2018,
to zaAAA from zaAA and its short-term national scale rating was maintained as zaA1+.
Super Group Holdings Proprietary Limited's B-BBEE status increased from a Level 2 contributor to a Level 1 contributor, which
is a highly commendable achievement.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Group revenue increased by 19.4% to R35.7 billion (June 2017: R29.9 billion) primarily due to the significant volume increase
in Supply Chain Africa's commodities businesses, the acquisitions of the Slough Motor Corporation (SMC) dealerships in the
United Kingdom and SG inTime's acquisition of a net 88% interest in the Spanish courier company, Servicios Empresariales
Ader, SL (Ader). Revenue also increased as a result of the inclusion of Essex Auto Group (EAG) and the Western Cape dealerships
for the full year. The acquired businesses contributed 10.8% to revenue growth.
Operating profit before capital items of R38.5 million (June 2017: R17.5 million), increased by 16.0% to R2 474.0 million from
R2 133.5 million in the comparable prior year. The capital items mainly relate to the impairment of certain properties in Dealerships
UK and the impairment of goodwill in Phola Coaches. The UK properties were revalued during the year resulting in a net value
increase of R36.4 million. In terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), R54.8 million positively impacted equity
and R18.4 million was impaired against profits. The impairment of a portion of the Phola Coaches' goodwill relates to the
termination of a staff transportation scheme by a major mining client.
Operating profit increased by 15.1% to R2 435.5 million (June 2017: R2 116.1 million). The main reasons for the softening of the
margin is due to the acquisition of lower margin businesses, namely SMC and Ader. The acquired businesses contributed 3.5%
to operating profit growth.
The increase in net finance costs of 18.0% to R330.5 million (June 2017: R280.0 million) is attributable to the funding of the
various acquisitions, as well as the funding of the working capital and the properties acquired with SMC. The average interest
rate paid on borrowings was 5.8% (June 2017: 6.2%) and the average interest rate earned on cash was 3.1% (June 2017: 3.7%).
Profit before tax increased by 14.7% to R2 105.0 million (June 2017: R1 836.1 million). The effective tax rate increased to 29.1%
(June 2017: 27.4%). Excluding the capital items and other once-off items, the effective tax rate was 27.7% (June 2017: 27.9%).
Earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) increased by 12.7% to 320.8 cents (June 2017: 284.7 cents)
and 15.3% to 332.2 cents (June 2017: 288.2 cents), respectively.
The increase in total assets of 14.8% to R28.5 billion (June 2017: R24.9 billion) is mainly due to the newly acquired assets in
SMC and Ader, together with an increase in the vehicle fleet in the commodity businesses. The Group's return on net operating
assets (RNOA), after tax, is 12.3% (June 2017: 12.2%) with the Group's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) being 8.6%
(June 2017: 8.2%).
Super Group's net debt position at 30 June 2018 is R2 853.9 million, a decrease of R251.8 million, resulting in the net debt
to equity ratio improving to 25.1% from 31.5% at 30 June 2017. The net asset value per share increased by 13.0% to R27.05 at
30 June 2018 from R23.94 at 30 June 2017.
Operating cash flow increased by 21.4% for the year to R3 776.7 million (June 2017: R3 111.4 million) mainly because of the
strong cash generation from the Supply Chain Africa businesses, a combination of the acquisition of SMC, the inclusion of the
Western Cape dealerships and Motiva for the full year compared to the prior year. Super Group invested R2 517 million
(June 2017: R2 976 million) in net additions and acquisitions to ensure future growth for the Group.

Supply Chain Africa's excellent results were largely attributable to the performance by the commodity businesses, which
includes SG Coal, Legend and African Logistics. SG Coal and Legend experienced a significant increase in volumes whilst the
African Logistics business benefited from improved transport rates. During the year, the Group's Black Woman Empowerment
Scheme acquired a 15% interest in SG Coal.
The consumer-facing operations within Supply Chain Africa, comprising of SG Consumer, SG Convenience and Digistics, reported
negative growth, nevertheless, operating margins improved. The performance by these businesses were largely impacted by
the economic difficulties faced by the South African consumer resulting in the substantial decline in demand experienced in the
FMCG and Quick Service Restaurant industries.
The remaining supply chain businesses also encountered tough trading conditions but managed to increase the overall operating
profit margin. The operating profit for this segment of the Supply Chain Africa business includes the R28 million partial impairment
of the Phola Coaches' goodwill. Effective 1 October 2017, Super Group acquired a 90% interest in the MDS Group, a web-based
express domestic courier company, which contributed positively to the results.

Supply Chain Europe's results did not meet expectations for the year under review. SG inTime's, excluding Ader, EBITA margin
reduced from 9.7% to 8.2% as cost pressures resulted from a shortage of subcontractors as the company had to source
drivers from other countries, given Germany's high employment rate. Sales volumes were up 12.9%, which is a combination
of an increase in transport loads of 7.1% and an increase in kilometers per load of 5.5%. Unfortunately, this was off-set by
unrecovered subcontractor cost escalations and diesel price increases.
The increase in results were due to the inclusion of Ader, a Spanish courier and express transport operator, from 4 July 2017.
Ader's business model generates lower margins, moderating the division's overall operating profit margin. Ader's EBITA margin
is 4.3%.
In Euro-terms, revenue and operating profit increased by 50.6% and 8.5%, respectively. The weakening of the average Rand
against the Euro positively impacted Super Group's profit before tax by R4.8 million (June 2017: negative impact of R7.5 million).

Fleet Africa's results for the year ended 30 June 2018 were disappointing given the loss of the Polokwane contract and the slow
roll-out of the City of Tshwane emergency vehicles FML contract as well as the National Department of Transport's (NDoT's) fleet
maintenance contract. The implementation of the City of Tshwane's emergency vehicles FML contract has now been completed.
Fleet Africa retained its Level 2 B-BBEE contributor status, which was critical for the business.

SG Fleet successfully addressed a number of legislative and insurance product challenges encountered towards the end of the
first half of the financial year to deliver a better performance in the second half. The overall business performed well, with good
contributions from the acquisitions made in the UK in the previous year, as well as from the New Zealand operations. The main
theme of the year has been the continued growth in the range of products and services provided to customers.
Total revenue and operating profit for the 2018 financial year, in AUD-terms, was up 9.4% and 10.8%, respectively, on the
previous corresponding period. SG Fleet managed to increase its operating profit margin on the back of a greater contribution
from the end-of-lease income revenue line.
The strengthening of the average Rand against the Australian Dollar negatively impacted Super Group's profit before tax by an
amount of R28.9 million (June 2017: R25.3 million).

Dealerships SA reported a strong set of results notwithstanding the subdued trading environment, significantly outperforming
the NAAMSA statistics. The results include the nine Western Cape dealerships for the full year compared to only 10 months in
the prior comparable year. As a result of Mercedes-Benz changing their business model from a franchise to an agency model,
revenue and profitability of these dealerships reduced. National Mercedes-Benz sales volumes also declined by 17% in the
second half of the financial year.
Dealerships SA sold one General Motors dealership and closed another, following the announcement that General Motors
are exiting South Africa. Dealerships delivered a 13.4% growth rate in new vehicle sales (excluding dealerships sold/closed),
outperforming the NAAMSA dealer market, which reported an increase of only 2.7% in new vehicle sales for the year ended 30 June 2018,
by 10.7%. Used vehicle sales increased by 9.4% over the same period (excluding dealerships sold/closed). The Parts and Services business
continued to perform well. Dealerships SA increased its operating margin to 3.4% from 3.2% reported in the prior comparable year.

Dealerships UK's results were positively impacted by the inclusion of Essex Auto Group and Slough Motor Corporation for the
full year. The UK dealership market, during the reporting period, experienced a steep decline of 11% in new vehicle sales. Ford,
with the introduction of the new Focus and Fiesta models in the second half of the financial year, made up for the lost market
share in the UK, as a result of temporary and unprecedented supply problems with the old models.
Overall vehicle sales in Dealerships UK, contrary to the general new vehicle market trend and seeing the benefit of its strong Ford
presence in key regions, grew by 9.2% in its existing dealerships, and including the acquired dealerships, up 43.8%. Dealerships
UK reported used vehicle sales growth of 8.1% from its existing dealerships and including the acquired dealerships, growth of
51.6%.
Revenue and operating profit, in GBP-terms, increased 44.8% and 29.5%, respectively.
The UK properties were revalued during the year and this resulted in a net value increase of R36.4 million. In terms of IFRS,
R54.8 million positively impacted equity and R18.4 million was impaired against profits.
SERVICES
The Services segment includes the Corporate and the Mauritius operations. The Services segment performed well on the back
of the solid performance by Treasury together with other recoveries.
PROSPECTS
Super Group has mixed views on the economic conditions and prospects for the Group's businesses, across its geographical
regions, for the new financial year ending 30 June 2019.
Africa
Despite the election of the new political leadership in South Africa policy uncertainty remains extremely negative and there
are no indications of economic stimulations or the encouragement of investments in South Africa. Encouraging to the Group
is Government's anti-corruption stance which bodes well for the South African businesses in terms of securing new tenders,
especially for Fleet Africa. The African market conditions in the mining commodity sectors are expected to remain fairly similar
to what were experienced during the 2018 financial year. The medium-term outlook remains subdued for consumer-facing
industries and growth prospects in the supply chain industries continue to be weighed down by margin pressure on the back
of severe competition and poor consumer demand. A downward trend is forecasted for the dealerships market given the slow
economic growth in South Africa and political uncertainty until next year's election.
Australasia
In Australia, a trend towards higher value-add solutions in the FML market continues with SG Fleet being well positioned, as
a specialised provider to blue chip companies, to benefit from this trend. Demand for management services for electric fleets,
as well as for telematics and driver safety applications is growing steadily. The New Zealand economy has seen a relatively
lengthy period of strong growth. This positive mood was reflected in healthy tender activity, providing continued opportunities
for SG Fleet.
United Kingdom
The economic climate in the UK saw some improvement during the year and that was reflected in an uptick in interest in both
tool-of-trade, particularly light commercial vehicles, and salary packaging services. Another area that has seen increased interest
is personal contract hire. Low-emission vehicles remain a hot topic in the UK and SG Fleet is at the forefront of advising the
Australian Government and large corporates on these opportunities. The UK dealership market seems to be stabilising despite
the continuing uncertainty regarding the Brexit outcome.
Europe
Germany, with its high employment rate, remains a challenge in terms of driver shortages in the SG inTime business. USA's trade
wars, together with the Brexit outcome uncertainty, plagues the European market and continues to be a concern for the Supply
Chain Europe businesses. Nevertheless, the inTime business should perform adequately into the forthcoming financial year.
The Group's strategy of being an innovative, integrated mobility solutions company remains integral to growing and expanding
its core businesses with the Group exploring viable acquisition opportunities, both locally and abroad. The Group should perform
reasonably well in the next year mainly on the back of a strong African commodities performance and new business in the South
African consumer-facing operations(1).
No dividend for the year ended 30 June 2018 has been declared.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 are prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies Act
of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework
concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the
SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued
by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 - Interim
Financial Reporting.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in terms of IFRS
and are consistent with those applied in the previous Consolidated Financial Statements. The definitions of capital items, EBITA
and related adjustments are included in the accounting policies in the June 2017 Annual Financial Statements. There were no
standards and amendments to standards with a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that are
relevant to and became effective for the first time in Super Group's financial year that commenced 1 July 2017. These Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018 have been reviewed by KPMG Inc., who expressed an
unmodified review conclusion. The Auditor's Report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in this
announcement. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the Auditor's
engagement they should obtain a copy of the Auditor's Report together with the accompanying financial information from the
company's registered office.
Standards effective for financial year commencing 1 July 2018:
- IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
- Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions (Amendments to IFRS 2)
- Transfers of Investment property (Amendments to IAS 40)
- IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Considerations
Standards effective for reporting periods starting on or after 1 July 2019:
- IFRS 16 Leases
- IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
The Group will adopt the above standards and interpretations when they become effective.
The Group has held workshops with their external auditors, KPMG Inc., and determined the potential impact of the adoption of
IFRS 15, IFRS 9 and IFRS 16 on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces IAS 18 - Revenue, and provides a single comprehensive model for
revenue recognition based on the satisfaction of performance obligations and additional disclosures in respect of revenue. The
only material anticipated change is in the SG Fleet businesses resulting in a gross up of end of lease income as revenue and
the corresponding expense for the related fleet management costs. There will be no material impact on profit or loss nor
retained earnings; however, had the SG Fleet businesses applied the standard for the year ended 30 June 2018, revenue would
have increased by AUD198 300 000 (R1 969 million) with a corresponding increase in expense. The new standard also introduces
expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the
Group's disclosures about its revenue from contracts with customers and associated assets.
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial instruments. The assessment indicates that the impairment allowance
of receivables currently estimated on the incurred loss model will be estimated on an expected credit loss model and the impact
of the change in the allowance is not expected to have a material impact on the Group.
IFRS 16 - Leases replaces IAS 17 - Leases, introduced changes to lessee accounting, in particular, the requirement to recognise
leases currently classified as operating leases on balance sheet. The standard requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset,
representing its rights to use the underlying lease asset, and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments,
with certain exceptions for short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position. The initial assessment indicates that the present value of operating rental commitments disclosed in note 9 of
the salient features to be recorded as a financial liability with a corresponding capitalised non-current asset on the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The related amortised finance cost and non-current asset depreciation will be
recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, replacing the operating lease expenses currently
recognised.
The Board's initial view on the other standards not yet effective is that the impact is not expected to be material.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Rand, which is the company's functional currency and the
Group's presentation currency, rounded to the nearest thousand.
These results have been compiled under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer, Colin Brown, CA(SA), BCompt (Hons), MBL.

The acquisition of Ader through inTime Holdings GmbH (inTime) will bolster the Supply Chain Europe division and increase
the Group's footprint in the Eurozone. The Group performed a PPA exercise on Ader whereby intangible assets acquired were
separately valued. The valuation, using projected financial information, led to the recognition of a trade name, software, customer
contracts and relationships of R88.8 million, R11.0 million and R24.0 million respectively.
The acquisition of SMC will expand the Group's dealership footprint in the United Kingdom. The Group performed a PPA exercise
which resulted in no additional intangible assets recognised.
The acquisition of the MDS Group, consisting of MDS Collivery Proprietary Limited, MDS Outsourcing Proprietary Limited,
Messenger and Delivery Services Technologies Proprietary Limited, MDS VISAPAK Proprietary Limited and MDS Vehicle
Management Proprietary Limited, will bolster the Supply Chain Africa division. The Group performed a PPA exercise on MDS
whereby intangible assets acquired were separately valued. The valuation, using projected financial information, led to the
recognition of a trade name, software, customer contracts and relationships of R4.7 million, R9.0 million and R3.4 million
respectively.
The other acquisition relates to adjustments made to the fair value of assets and liabilities for an acquisition that was concluded
in the prior financial year.
The non-controlling interests have been calculated using the present ownership instruments' proportionate share in the
recognised amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.
The values identified in relation to the acquisitions are provisional as at 30 June 2018.
Goodwill has been recognised on the acquisition of Ader, SMC, MDS and other amounting to R62.8 million, R143.6 million,
R28.6 million and R12.9 million respectively.
The above goodwill is attributable mainly to the skills and technical talent of the workforce and synergies expected to be
achieved from integrating the acquired businesses into the Group's various operations. None of the goodwill is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition related costs of R8.6 million in respect of these acquisitions are included in profit or loss in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.

buildings and leasehold improvements The valuation model considers the present value of
net cash flows to be generated from these properties,
taking into account expected rental growth rate, void
period, occupancy rate, lease incentive costs such as
rent-free periods and other costs not paid by tenants.
The expected net cash flows are discounted using
risk-adjusted discount rates. Among other factors,
the discount rate estimation considers the quality of a
building and its location (prime vs secondary), tenant
credit quality and lease terms.

Deferred contingent purchase 62 488 An obligation exists at acquisition date resulting from the
consideration payable - Legend possibility of the acquiree's aggregate profit after tax for
the three-year period ending 30 June 2019 exceeding
R155 million. The deferred contingent purchase
consideration is calculated by applying 75% to every R1
excess over the R155 million aggregate profit after tax.
The present value of this obligation is determined using
a pre-tax discount rate of 9.5%. The date of exercise is
the second business day after the aggregate profit after
tax is agreed.

the date of exercise. The present value is determined by
using a pre-tax discount rate of 9.5%. The option can be
exercised on 1 October 2019.
inTime put option 141 282 This put option is calculated as the fair value determined
by using the average audited EBITDA for the three years
preceding the put option exercise date at a price earnings
multiple of 7.5, adjusted for net debt. The present value has
been determined using a pre-tax discount rate of 7.7%.
The put option can be exercised from 30 June 2020 to
30 June 2025.
