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. The directors have
reviewed the markets for UK sports retail and  international sports retail and
are satisfied that these display similar economic characteristics and that
these are therefore correctly  reported as one segment; 
 
• 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 profit on disposal of freehold property relates to the sale of a freehold
property for £44m, realising a profit of £13.5m. In the prior year, the profit
on disposal related to the sale of a warehouse. 
 
The impairment mainly relates to goodwill in our Austrian business, reported
within our Sports Retail segment, due to recent trading being below
expectations. Converting the former Eybl megastores is taking longer than
expected and the lost revenue in certain categories is also proving harder to
replace than expected. Other impairments relate to certain brands that had
been acquired a number of years ago. 
 
The provision against receivables mainly relates to a funding loan made to an
associate on acquisition of the initial stake. 
 
4. Taxation 
 
The effective tax rate on profit before tax for FY16 was 22.9% (FY15: 23.0%).
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,
592,573,254 (2015: 592,294,371), is adjusted to assume conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares under the Group's Share Schemes, being
17,667,000  (2015: 24,200,000), to give the diluted weighted average number of
shares of 610,240,254  (2015: 616,494,371).

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.

interbank rate of the country within which the borrowing entity resides. 
 
During the year the Group utilised the accordion option under its working
capital facility. As a result, the working capital facility has been increased
to £788m (FY15 £738m). The facility is available until September 2018 and is
not secured against any of the Group's fixed assets. 
 
The Group also had a £250m working capital facility with Mike Ashley/Mash
Holdings Limited, which has expired and not been renewed. This facility was
agreed at market terms at its inception and is not secured against any fixed
assets. At the period end no balance was due and no draw-downs were made
during the year. 
 
The Group continues to operate comfortably within its banking facilities and
covenants. 
 
The carrying amounts and fair value of the borrowings are not materially
different. 
 
Net debt at 24 April 2016 was £99.6m (26 April 2015: £59.7m).

8. Post balance sheet events 
 
On 25 April 2016, the Group purchased a property on Oxford Street, London for
a total £108,000,000. A deposit of £10,800,000 was included in Other Debtors
at the year-end date. 
 
Following the outcome of the UK referendum on EU membership, the Group notes
the associated market volatility and in particular material changes to
sterling / dollar exchange rates, and the lack of transparency as to those
rates in the short to medium term. These factors are likely to impact
purchases for which the Group is currently not hedged for the FY17 period and
beyond. The Group does not consider this an adjusting event for the accounting
period ended 24 April 2016.
