Superdry sees full-year pretax profit below expectations

May 9 (Reuters) - British fashion retailer Superdry said on Thursday its full-year underlying pretax profit was likely to be below market expectations, as founder Julian Dunkerton began efforts to revitalise the company after narrowly forcing his way back in.

Superdry, which has issued a string of profit warnings, said its performance continued to be weak but that Dunkerton had already identified opportunities to improve efficiency and performance of the business and taken action to implement these.
