2. Segmental analysis 
 
IFRS 8 - 'Operating Segments' requires the Group's segments to be identified
on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are
regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess performance
and allocate resources across each operating segment. 
 
The Chief Operating Decision Maker has been identified as the Executive
Directors and the operating segments are identified as the store fascia or
brand, in line with the internal reporting to the Executive Directors. 
 
Sales and gross profit for each operating segment, as well as underlying
EBITDA, are the main measures used by the Executive Directors to assess
performance. 
 
In accordance with paragraph 12 of IFRS 8 the Group's operating segments have
been aggregated into the following reportable segments: 
 
• Sports Retail - includes the results of the UK and International retail
network of sports stores along with related websites; 
 
• Premium Lifestyle - includes the results of the premium retail businesses
such as Republic, Cruise and USC; and 
 
• Brands - includes the results of the Group's portfolio of internationally
recognised brands such as Everlast, Lonsdale and Dunlop.

The impairment and accelerated depreciation and amortisation relates to a
change in the estimated useful life of certain tangible and intangible assets
and impairment against goodwill in the year. 
 
4. Taxation 
 
The effective tax rate on profit before tax for FY15 was 23.0% (FY14: 25.0%).
This rate reflects depreciation on non-qualifying assets and overseas earnings
being taxed at a higher rate. 
 
5. Earnings per share from total and continuing operations attributable to the
equity shareholders 
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable
to ordinary shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the year. 
 
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares,
592,294,371 (2014: 585,513,537), is adjusted to assume conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares under the Group's share schemes, being
24,200,000 (2014: 32,676,278), to give the diluted weighted average number of
shares of 616,494,371  (2014: 618,189,815).

Underlying earnings per share 
 
The underlying earnings per share reflects the underlying performance of the
business compared with the prior year and is calculated by dividing underlying
earnings by the weighted average number of shares for the period.  Underlying
earnings is used by management as a measure of profitability within the Group.
 Underlying earnings is defined as profit for the period attributable to
equity holders of the parent for each financial period but excluding the
post-tax effect of certain non-trading items. 
 
The directors believe that the underlying earnings before exceptional items
and underlying earnings per share measures provide additional useful
information for shareholders on the underlying performance of the business,
and are consistent with how business performance is measured internally.
Underlying earnings is not a recognised profit measure under IFRS and may not
be directly comparable with "adjusted" profit measures used by other
companies.
