Plus-size retailer N Brown warns on full-year profit

Reuters - UK Focus

March 11 (Reuters) - British plus-size clothing retailer N Brown Group Plc cut its full-year profit forecast for the second time, after a challenging autumn season.

The Manchester, northern England-based company, whose brands include Simply Be and Jacamo, said it now expected pretax profit below the current market consensus of 88 million pounds ($132.67 million) for the year ending March 2015.

N Brown (LSE: BWNG.L - news) said its fourth-quarter sales grew 3.6 percent. Full-year sales were flat from last year.
