INSTANT beverage maker Super Group suffered a hit to its earnings for the June quarter, no thanks to weaker demand for its products in certain South-east Asian markets and foreign exchange translation losses.

The group, known for its Super Coffee and Owl brands, recorded a 58 per cent year-on-year drop in net profit to S$15.65 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

This was on the back of a 5 per cent year-on-year dip in revenues to S$131.68 million for the June 2014 quarter.
