Revenues up for JD Sport but profits suffer in “tough environment”
Sports footwear, apparel and retail group JD Sports has reported revenues of more than £5.9 billion for the first six months of its current business year, the period ending August 2, 2025. This figure represents an increase of 18% year on year.

Its operating profit for the six-month period was £369 million, a fall of 8.2% compared to the same period last year.

Chief executive, Régis Schultz, said the trading environment remains tough, but he added: “Our supply chain investments are poised to unlock significant efficiencies across our global network.” 

Examples he gave included a new European distribution centre in Heerlen, the Netherlands, which is set to launch automation for JD Europe store-replenishment.
