Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the actual financial period. Shares held in
Treasury and the Employee Benefit Trust are excluded from this figure. 
 
The underlying EPS reflects the underlying performance of the business
compared with the prior year and is calculated using the weighted average
number of shares. It is not a recognised profit measure under IFRS and may not
be directly comparable with "adjusted" profit measures used by other
companies. 
 
The items adjusted for arriving at the underlying profit after tax and
minority interests is as follows:

DIVIDENDS 
 
The Board has decided not to pay a dividend in relation to FY17. The Board
remains of the opinion that it is in the best interests of the Group and its
shareholders to preserve financial flexibility, facilitating future
investments and other growth opportunities. The payment of dividends remains
under review. 
 
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE 
 
During the period, capital expenditure amounted to £419.5m (FY16: £207.0m),
which includes £317.0m on properties (including fixtures and fittings). 
 
ACQUISITIONS 
 
During FY17 the Group acquired 100% of BSL Ltd, Community Bug Ltd and Vinecomb
Investments Ltd. The net cash outflow for these acquisitions was £8.1m. The
Group also acquired the remaining 49% of the Sports Direct business in
Portugal for E5.0m. 
 
DISPOSALS 
 
During the period, the Group disposed of the Dunlop brand and its related
wholesale and licensing activities for a total consideration of £109.5m,
resulting in a gain on disposal of £79.9m.  This facilitates more bandwidth
for management to develop relationships with third party brands without the
need to manage the Dunlop brand on an international basis. 
 
COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENTS 
 
In our FY17 H1 statement, we confirmed that MM Prop Consultancy Ltd, a company
owned and controlled by Michael Murray, continues to provide property
consultancy services to the group. MM Prop Consultancy Ltd is primarily tasked
with finding and negotiating the acquisition of new sites for both our larger
format stores and our combined retail and gym units, but it also provides
advice to the Company's in-house property team in relation to existing sites
both in the UK and in Europe. MM Prop Consultancy Ltd fees are linked directly
to value creation, which is determined by the Company's non-executive
directors who independently review performance bi-annually with a view to
determining, at their absolute and sole discretion, the quantum of the fee
payable. Under the terms of the agreement with MM Prop Consultancy Ltd no fees
are payable until at the earliest of 30 September 2018, so that the Company's
independent non-executive directors have a sufficient amount of time to assess
performance. 
 
During FY17, the Company had arrangements in place with Barlin Delivery
Limited, a company owned by John Ashley (the brother of Mike Ashley). This
arrangement is no longer in place. 
 
STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS 
 
During the period the Group disposed of its remaining 9,920,000 shares in JD
Sports Fashion plc and at the year-end held no interest in the company. The
total economic interest held in Debenhams plc at the year-end was 16.8%
representing the put option and contract for differences. On 5 May 2016 the
maturity date of 30 November 2016 of the Put Option put in place on 23 January
2015 referencing 128,927,113 ordinary shares of Debenhams was extended by 12
months. The Group continues to hold an economic interest at the year-end in
Goals Soccer Centres plc of 3.84% and Iconix Brand Group Inc. of 11.4%, and
during the year acquired 11.2% of French Connection Group plc and 7.9% of
Finish Line Inc. The Group no longer holds an economic interest in Dicks
Sporting Goods Inc. The Group continues to hold a direct interest in Findel
plc representing 29.90% of the issued share capital; MySale Group plc,
representing 4.8% of the issued share capital; and, House of Fraser Limited
representing 11.11% of the issued share capital. 
 
These stakes allow us to develop a relationship and potential commercial
partnerships with the relevant party and assist in building relationships with
key suppliers and brands. 
 
The fair value of equity derivative agreements are included within the
derivative financial assets balance of £43.0m and derivative financial
liabilities balance of £75.2m. 
 
CASH FLOW AND NET DEBT 
 
Net debt increased by £82.4m from £99.7m at 24 April 2016 to £182.1m at 30
April 2017. 
 
The analysis of debt at 30 April 2017 was as follows: 
 
                            30 April 2017 (£'m)  24 April 2016 (£'m)  
 Cash and cash equivalents  204.7                234.2

 Net debt                   (182.1)              (99.7)               
 
 
The Revolving Credit Facility of £788m is available until September 2018 and
is not secured against any of the Group's fixed assets. The Group is currently
making appropriate arrangements for post-September 2018. 
 
The Group continues to operate well within its banking covenants and the Board
remains comfortable with the Group's available headroom. 
 
CASH FLOW 
 
Total movement is as follows: 
 
                                                               30 April 2017 (£'m)  24 April 2016 (£'m)

The change in working capital is partly to support the growth of Sports Retail
and the online business and partly due to the timing of payments around year
end. 
 
PENSIONS 
 
The Group operates a defined benefit scheme in Sport Eybl Holding GmbH in
Austria. During the year, the Group disposed of the subsidiary that held the
Dunlop Slazenger pension scheme. The Group has no remaining contractual
obligations in relation to the Pension scheme following the disposal. The net
deficit in these schemes therefore decreased from £13.1m at 24 April 2016 to
£3.4m at 30 April 2017.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
The financial information, which comprises the consolidated income statement,
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheet,
consolidated cash flow statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity
and related notes, does not constitute full accounts within the meaning of
s435 (1) and (2) of the Companies Act 2006. The auditors have reported on the
Group's statutory accounts for the each of the years ended 30 April 2017 and
24 April 2016 which do not contain any statement under s498 of the Companies
Act 2006 and are unqualified. The statutory accounts for the year ended 24
April 2016 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and the statutory
accounts for the year ended 30 April 2017 will be filed with the registrar in
due course. 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
IFRS as adopted for use in the European Union (including International
Accounting Standards ("IAS") and International Financial Reporting Standards
Interpretations Committee ("IFRSiC") interpretations) and with those parts of
the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS as adopted
for use in the European Union. The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified to include fair
valuation of certain financial assets and derivative financial instruments. 
 
2. SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS 
 
Management have determined to present its segmental disclosures in a different
way to that previously reported. Following our recent interaction with the
Conduct Committee of the FRC in relation to this matter, and recognising the
potential impact of Brexit on the economic characteristics of the countries we
trade in through our European retail operations, and reconsidering the
prolonged challenges this business is facing and the impact on long term
financial performance expectations this will have, we have now presented our
International Sports Retail segment separately from UK Sports Retail. We
continue to monitor the impacts of Brexit, and the continued uncertainties
this has brought relating to the political and economic environments, and
market and currency volatility in the countries we operate in. European
countries have been identified as operating segments and have been aggregated
into a single operating segment as permitted under IFRS 8. The decision to
aggregate these segments was based on the fact that they each have similar

The impairment mainly relates to a review of the business and the valuation of
own brands and goodwill that are no longer considered core brands, in line
with the Elevation of Retail management strategy. 
 
4. TAXATION 
 
The effective rate of 17.7% reflected income that is not deductible for tax
purposes in the period. Non-taxable income includes disposal of subsidiaries
and investments that qualify for Substantial Shareholder Relief. Prior period
adjustments include income that is now considered to qualify for substantial
shareholder relief, and a reduction in deferred tax assets for overseas losses
no longer considered recoverable. Expenses not deductible for tax purposes
include non-qualifying depreciation and goodwill impairments. 
 
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,
583,501,473 (2016: 592,573,254), is adjusted to assume conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares under the Group's Share Schemes, being
16,667,000 (2016: 17,667,000), to give the diluted weighted average number of
shares of 600,168,473 (2016: 610,240,254).

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. Tax has been calculated with reference to
the effective rate of tax for the Group. 
 
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.
