("Sports Direct" or the "Company")
Clarification statement
At the Interim Results Presentation held at Academy House today,
in response to a question concerning current trading in our sports
retail business Chief Executive Mike Ashley stated that November's
trading was unbelievably bad. The Company wishes to confirm,
however, that we have taken November's trading into account, and we
reiterate Mike Ashley's statement included in the Interim Results
announced earlier today: "Excluding House of Fraser we anticipate
we will be within our previously communicated underlying EBITDA
growth range of 5-15% by year end, and including House of Fraser we
expect to be behind last year's result."
Ends.
