Trading Update
JD Sports Fashion Plc (the 'Group'), the leading retailer of
sports, fashion and outdoor brands, announces an update on recent
performance.
In the announcement of the Group's interim results on 16
September 2015, we reported that there had been an exceptional
performance for the 26 week period to 1 August 2015, with like for
like sales growth in the period across all Group fascias, including
those in Europe, in excess of 10%.
We are pleased to report that relatively strong trading has
continued and, whilst recognising the critical importance of
trading through the remainder of December and early January and
also the further infrastructure cost increases during the year to
support the increasing international development of the business,
the Board expects that the headline profit before tax and
exceptional items for the current financial year is likely to
exceed current consensus market expectations of GBP125m by
GBP10m.
The Group will issue its post Christmas trading update on 14
January 2016.
