Jan 16 (Reuters) - Plus-sized fashion retailer N Brown Group
said it expects annual adjusted profit to be below
consensus estimates, hurt by poor performance at its financial
services unit and more discounting in the market.
The owner of JD Williams, Simply Be, Ambrose Wilson and
Jacamo - which have shut shops to focus on online sales - said
on Thursday that financial year 2020 adjusted pretax profit
would be between 70 million pounds to 72 million pounds ($91.3
million to $93.91 million), lower than consensus estimates of
between 78 million pounds and 84.1 million pounds.
