Group sales at Sports Direct for the 13 weeks to January 27 rose 21 per cent to £589.5 million, with gross profit up 22.7 per cent to £244.8 million.
Says chief executive Dave Forsey: “As we highlighted back in December, the group’s strong performance continued during Q3, primarily driven by our sports retail division, including online, following the successful integration of our new operating platform.
“We are certain of reaching our 2013 full year targeted underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of £270 million.”
