INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
JD Sports Fashion Plc (the "Group"), the leading retailer and
distributor of sportswear, fashionwear and outdoor clothing,
footwear and equipment, today releases the following Interim
Management Statement for the period to 23 November2013.
In the announcement of the Group's interim results on 18
September 2013 we reported like for like sales in the core UK and
Ireland Sports and Fashion Fascias as being +5.8% for the 26 week
period to 3 August 2013.
We are pleased to report that after a further sixteen weeks'
trading, the like for like sales improvement for these Fascias
stands cumulatively at very much the same level. We are also
pleased with very recent progress in the Outdoor Fascias.
The result for the full year remains, as usual, substantially
dependent on the sales and margin performance through the Christmas
period and particularly in the last two weeks of December. At this
stage the Board believes the Group remains on course to deliver
earnings at least in line with current expectations.
The Group will issue its post Christmas trading update on 10
January 2013.
