Shares of Sports Direct International Plc lost almost a quarter of their value after the U.K.’s biggest sporting-goods retailer reported slumping profit and said higher interest rates and floods in Britain will crimp revenue.

Profit for the year to April 29 fell 40 percent because of bonus payments to staff relating to February’s initial public offering.
