JD Sports Fashion says sees higher FY adjusted pre-tax profit

London - British sports-fashion retail company, JD Sports Fashion Plc (JD.L), in its AGM trading update, said it believes it is on track to deliver adjusted profit before tax for the full year at an increased level of no less than 550 million pounds. The Group said its forecast reflects risk of further temporary store closures and the potential repayment of government support to payroll costs in the current year.
