What Super Group does

Super Group Limited is a JSE-listed diversified logistics and mobility group headquartered in Isando, Johannesburg, operating across 12 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the UK, and Europe with over 18,800 employees, a 19,700+ vehicle fleet, and 375,000 m³ of managed warehousing. The company is structured around three integrated divisions: Supply Chain (transportation, warehousing, multi-temperature and bulk distribution, freight, courier, cross-border, and supply chain technology through 20+ specialized brands including SG Freight, SG Bulk, SG Coal, LiebenLogistics, SG Convenience, Digistics, AMCO, and ADER); Fleet Solutions (Fleet Africa for managed fleet services and DIG Group for mining plant hire, 70% acquired in February 2026 for R448 million); and Dealerships (69+ South African dealerships and 60 Allen Motor Group sites in the UK representing most major OEMs).

Revenue is generated through managed services contracts, vehicle and equipment sales/rentals, and supply chain technology enablement, with pricing negotiated per contract and not publicly disclosed. The company operates proprietary technology platforms including the Virtual Supply Chain (VSC) web portal, Knowledge Integration Network (KIN) integration layer, RWS Freight Management System, Control Tower predictive monitoring, and Cella Rep AI-driven sales forecasting. Underlying infrastructure includes ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, SQAS, and RTMS certifications, an S&P zaAAA long-term national scale rating, and Level 2 B-BBEE accreditation. H1 FY2026 (six months ended 31 December 2025) revenue was R22.68 billion (+7.0% YoY), EBITDA R1.96 billion (+5.9%), operating profit R1.10 billion (+8.7%), and profit before tax R834 million (+24.8%), with HEPS of 155.4 cents (+28.0%).

The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for Supply Chain and Fleet Solutions with a physical dealership channel for B2B and B2C vehicle buyers, targeting blue-chip corporates (Pick n Pay, Sasol, BP, Engen, Astron Energy, Scania, Sandvik), government and parastatals, mining and industrial clients, and retail vehicle buyers across South Africa and the UK. Following the April 2025 divestiture of SG Fleet Group for R7.47 billion (which funded a R5.54 billion special dividend and debt reduction), the group is repositioning toward higher-return African and UK core logistics and mobility assets, exemplified by the recent DIG Group mining equipment acquisition and the launch of South Africa's first ZARONIA-linked corporate bond in March 2026.
