Setting the record straight after some misleading reports, Intersport Spain says its retail turnover after VAT rose slightly to €250 million in 2014 from €248 million in the previous year. The number of stores rose to 271 after 18 new openings and 17 closures. Operating profits have been improving. Like some other Intersport organizations in Europe, Intersport Spain is optimistic for 2015, predicting growth of between 10 and 12 percent after an increase of 7 percent in the sell-out during the first quarter.
