While there continues to be uncertainty surrounding the outlook for the sector, we are encouraged by the strong demand from our younger titles, the international performance of Simply Be Germany as well as the launch into the USA. The Board remains confident that we will deliver a good performance for the full year. Alan White, Chief Executive, added: This is another good performance, benefiting from the strong growth in online sales, the expansion of Jacamo and Marisota, and the acquisition of Figleaves and High and Mighty. We have also seen bad debts reduce significantly. We have grown our share of the market, emphasising our strong position as the leading retailer in plus sizes in the UK. We are also particularly excited by the launch of our Simply Be brand in the US, as the first orders are starting to come through and we will look to drive sales forward in the second half of the year. We have a number of growth opportunities ahead and we are confident we will continue to make good progress for the full year. -Ends- For further information please contact: N Brown Group plc Alan White, Chief Executive On the day: Dean Moore, Finance Director Thereafter: Website : Kreab Gavin Anderson Fergus Wylie / Clotilde Gros / Natalie Biasin Tel:
2 CHAIRMAN S STATEMENT I am pleased to report further progress in the performance of N Brown Group in the 26 weeks to 28 August Financial Results Total group revenue increased by 3.2% to 349.7m. Excluding sales from the recent acquisitions of High & Mighty and Figleaves, like-for-like revenue has grown by 0.6% in the first half. The rate of gross margin has improved by 0.6% to 53.7% reflecting the impact of the more conservative credit policies we implemented last year. These have restricted sales growth in the first half by about 2% but have reduced the net bad debt charge to sales ratio from 9.5% to 8.2%. Operating profit was up by 4.5% to 46.2m and profit before fair value adjustments to financial instruments and tax was up 5.5% to 44.1m. Profit before tax was up 27.0% to 42.3m. Adjusted earnings per share, reflecting the underlying performance of the business, have grown by 10.3% to 12.15p, including the benefit from a lower effective rate of corporation tax. There was a net cash outflow of 3.0m, after the 10.6m investment in the acquisition of Figleaves in June Net borrowings are now 173.1m (2009, 202.4m), on which net financial costs in the period were 2.1m ( m), covered 22 times by operating profits (2009, 18 times). Gearing has fallen to 53% (2009, 71%) based on net assets of 327.0m, up by 14.9%. The interim dividend will be increased by 15.1% to 5.04p reflecting the strength of the balance sheet, and the Board s continued confidence in the outlook for the business. Trading Highlights The key contributions to the total sales growth of 3.2% came from the rollout of our new brands, the continuing development of our e-commerce activities and the acquisitions of High & Mighty and Figleaves. Online sales were up 17% to 150m and accounted for 43% of total revenues (2009, 38%). During the first half we have redeveloped our online registration process, significantly increasing customer retention. The sales from merchandise only available online has grown by 66%, including the benefit from a new process whereby suppliers can upload their product images and copy directly onto our websites. Our online promotional techniques are proving increasingly effective, driving order values 25% higher than average and also generating higher order frequency. This, coupled with lower operating costs for online orders, is a key driver of profit for current and future growth. Sales from our younger brands, targeted at customers under 45, have grown by 7% to 112m. Jacamo, offering fashionable menswear in larger sizes both branded and own-brand, has increased revenue by 57%, and there was another good performance from Simply Be. There was a sales contribution of 5m from Figleaves which offers the UK s largest choice of lingerie online and has established a strong international brand. We intend to develop Figleaves by offering its own-brand product to segments of the group s customer base and offering selected products from N Brown s fashion, footwear and lingerie ranges to Figleaves customers. Our midlife brands, targeting customers aged between 45 and 65, have had a steady period with sales up 3% to 213m. Within this the expansion of Marisota, offering fitting solutions for women s clothing and footwear needs, has gone extremely well. This category now includes High & Mighty, which we acquired in September 2009, serving the specialist clothing needs of big and tall men. We are on track with our store refurbishment programme and the acquisition of three new stores and sales of 4m are up 6% on the same period last year. We believe there is significant growth potential in the High & Mighty brand and opportunities for cross-selling with our other menswear brands, now that we have transferred it to the group s web platform.
3 Sales from titles targeted at the 65 plus customers fell by 11% to 25m, reflecting the decline in this section of the clothing market due to the more cautious attitude of these customers, and the impact of low interest rates on their disposable income. Despite this we have seen encouraging signs from our omnibus catalogue, Julipa, including more cost effective customer recruitment. There has been strong growth in sales of menswear and footwear, the latter driven by the expansion of the range targeted at our younger customers. Menswear has seen spectacular sales growth of 28%, or 16% excluding High & Mighty, due to the growth of the Jacamo brand, the launch of the Williams & Brown catalogue targeted at the 50 year old male, and good recruitment results from Premier Man. Ladieswear, which accounts for just over half of our total sales saw a 1% increase, but against the background of a decline in the older and larger size market as a consequence of the economic downturn, we have still increased our share of the size 16+ market from 5.0% to 5.5% in the last year. We are continuing to expand the proportion of sales from branded merchandise and that endorsed by celebrities, with Joe Calzaghe and Arlene Phillips proving to be excellent brand ambassadors for Jacamo and Marisota respectively. Sales of home and leisure product fell by 2% primarily due to the more restrictive credit terms on higher value items which reduced the sales of furniture and electrical products. Gross Margin and Overheads The increase in the gross margin rate from 53.1% to 53.7% results from the 1.3% improvement in the rate of bad debts offset by an adverse margin mix. Sales and administration costs have risen by 5.7% as we have invested in additional marketing activity to bolster sales and increase customer recruitment numbers. Distribution costs are level with last year benefiting from the increased proportion of online sales and higher average selling prices. International Our international strategy is to target the major home shopping markets in the world where we see the best opportunity to utilise the brands, products and creative assets which already exist in our business, fulfilling the orders from our UK distribution centres. This dramatically reduces the cost of launching in these overseas markets and minimises the risks. Simply Be Germany has had a good season with lower costs per new recruit and high rates of customer retention, which provides a good platform to build on. We will be doubling the catalogue distribution in the second half. Our move into the US market is underway with the despatch of 250,000 Simply Be catalogues to targeted customer lists at the end of August and a further 750,000 will be despatched during this autumn, together with a programme of online activity. We are optimistic that we can win a useful share of the $34 billion market for outsize clothing in the USA. Figleaves receives over 20% of its orders from overseas and despatches to over 130 different countries. Outlook The increase in the rate of sales growth since the sluggish period around the General Election has continued in the first 6 weeks of the second half with total sales growth of 5.1% and like for like sales growth of 2.1%. There are undoubtedly challenges in the second half to be overcome with respect to the outlook for consumer spending and the inflationary pressures from the Far East markets where we source the majority of our merchandise.
4 However, we are confident we can overcome these challenges, based on our first half performance. We have seen strong growth from both our younger and newer brands, increased penetration from our online activities, and the expansion of our international plans into the USA, the world s biggest home shopping market. We will continue to invest in these growth drivers in the second half of the year which, coupled with the strength of our balance sheet and the increased dividend, gives the board confidence that the group can make good progress for the full year. Lord Alliance of Manchester, CBE 12 October 2010

Basis of preparation The group's interim results for the 26 weeks ended 28 August 2010 were approved by the board of directors on 12 October 2010, and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in the annual report & accounts for the 52 weeks ended 27 February 2010 other than for IFRS 3 (revised 2008) and IAS 28 (revised 2008) which came into effect for the group for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 March The condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the auditors pursuant to the International Standard on Review Engagements (UK & Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the UK Auditing Practices Board. The financial information for the 52 weeks ended 27 February 2010 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act A copy of those accounts have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified and did not contain any statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
11 2. Risks and uncertainties There are a number of risks and uncertainties which could have an impact on the group's long-term performance. These include consideration of the general economic climate and the impact it has on the provision of credit to our customers and their ability to maintain payment terms; the potential threat from our competitors; our relationship with key suppliers; the loss of key personnel; potential disruption to our key information systems, warehousing or call centre facilities arising from events beyond our control such as fire or other issues which could have a detrimental impact on sales and profit; changes to the regulatory environment in which the business operates, primarily regulated by the Financial Services Authority and the Office of Fair Trading. The directors routinely monitor all these risks and uncertainties and appropriate actions are taken to mitigate these risks, such as having business continuity procedures in place, a dedicated team assessing regulatory developments, ensuring we treat our customers fairly and hosting regular reviews with all of our strategic partners. The board are also committed to continually invest in updating the group's business systems and infrastructure to keep pace with new technology. 3. Going concern In determining whether the group s accounts can be prepared on a going concern basis, the directors considered the group s business activities together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and its financial position including cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities and the principal risks and uncertainties relating to its business activities. The group has considered carefully its cash flows and banking covenants for the next twelve months from the date of approval of the group's interim results. These have been appraised in light of the uncertainty in the current economic climate. As such, conservative assumptions for working capital performance have been used to determine the level of financial resources available to the company and to assess liquidity risk. The key risk identified by the directors for these assumptions is the impact that a further deterioration in the economic climate will have on the performance of the group s debtor book. The group s forecasts and projections, after sensitivity to take account of all reasonably foreseeable changes in trading performance, show that the group will have sufficient headroom within its current loan facilities of 320m which are committed until early in It is the group's intention to open renewal negotiations with its bankers in the next six months to ensure appropriate levels of committed funds matching the group's medium term financing requirements are in place beyond After making appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.
