A TROUBLED fashion brand that has a store in Oxford's Westgate Centre has said it is looking at various “cost-saving options” after reports it is considering a major restructuring which could include closures and job cuts.
On Saturday, Sky News reported that Superdry is working with advisers at PwC on a plan that could lead to a CVA (company voluntary arrangement) or another form of restructuring.
On Monday, Superdry told the stock market: “In line with the company’s turnaround strategy, the company confirms it is working with advisers to explore the feasibility of various material cost-saving options.
“Whilst there is no certainty that any of these options are progressed, they aim to build on the success of the cost-saving initiatives carried out by the company to date and position the business for long-term success.”
On Friday, the clothing firm said that its revenue had fallen by nearly a quarter to £219.8 million in the six months to the end of October, with adjusted loss nearly doubling to £25.3 million.
The retail business, which employs around 3,350 globally, said it also cut around £20 million in costs over the half-year and is on track for over £40 million in savings for the current year.
