BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
ECONOMIC AND SECTOR DEVELOPMENT
GLOBAL ECONOMY RECOVERS IN FIRST HALF OF 20211
Around the globe, economies have been recovering from the enormous negative shock the coronavirus
pandemic had caused. The pace of this recovery, however, remains uneven. Developed economies have
been benefiting from substantial vaccination progress and fiscal support, while world trade continues to
be constrained by supply bottlenecks and travel restrictions. Economic activity is being dampened among
developing economies by a partial withdrawal of macroeconomic support and somewhat limited access to
vaccines amid an emergence of new coronavirus variants. Against this backdrop, consumer confidence
rebounded despite elevated unemployment rates and heightened policy uncertainty.
SPORTING GOODS INDUSTRY RETURNS TO GROWTH IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2021
In the first half of 2021, the global sporting goods industry recovered from negative impacts caused by
lockdown and quarantine measures as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The return of major amateur
and professional sports events, as well as elevated health awareness, drove demand for sporting goods,
and consumers returned to retail stores in all parts of the world. The industry also benefited from excess
household spending, while coronavirus pandemic-related disruptions, supply chain challenges as well as
the geo-political situation weighed on the recovery of the sector.
INCOME STATEMENT
FOCUS ON CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Due to the planned divestiture of the Reebok business, all related income and expenses are reported as
discontinued operations at the end of June 2021. All figures related to the 2020 financial year in this report
refer to the company’s continuing operations unless otherwise stated.
ADIDAS WITH STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2021
In the first half of 2021, revenues increased 40% on a currency-neutral basis. In euro terms, revenues
grew 34% to € 10.345 billion (2020: € 7.733 billion). This growth was achieved against the backdrop of
prolonged lockdowns in many parts of the world, industry-wide supply chain challenges and the geo-
political situation. From a category perspective, growth was driven by exceptional increases in all strategic
performance categories amid the return of major sports events, while the lifestyle category recorded
excellent growth as well. From a regional perspective, on a currency-neutral basis, sales were driven by
exceptional increases in all strategic growth markets EMEA, North America and Greater China. Both Asia-
Pacific and Latin America grew at strong double-digit rates as well.
Gross margin improved 1.4 percentage points to 51.8% in the first six months of 2021 (2020: 50.4%). While
negative currency fluctuations as well as the less favorable channel mix weighed on the gross margin
development, this was more than offset by a significantly better pricing mix due to lower promotional
activity as well as the non-recurrence of last year’s inventory allowances and purchase order cancellation
costs.

Other operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, consist of marketing and point-of-sale
as well as operating overhead expenses. In the first half of 2021, other operating expenses were flat at
€ 4.154 billion (2020: € 4.156 billion). As a percentage of sales, other operating expenses decreased
13.6 percentage points to 40.2% (2020: 53.8%). Marketing and point-of-sale expenses amounted to
€ 1.157 billion (2020: € 1.174 billion), a 1% decline compared to the prior year. The company significantly
increased its digital marketing investments to support its DTC storytelling and e-commerce business,
while physical activities remained restrained in many parts of the world during a significant portion of the
first six months of the year. As a percentage of sales, marketing and point-of sale expenses declined by 4.0
percentage points to 11.2% in the first half of 2021 (2020: 15.2%). Operating overhead expenses remained
flat at € 2.997 billion (2020: € 2.983 billion). Efficiency measures and the non-recurrence of extraordinarily
high purchase order cancellation costs in the prior year period were offset by increased logistics costs
resulting from the significant e-commerce growth as well as temporary stranded costs related to the
intended divestiture of Reebok in the amount of around € 120 million. As a percentage of sales, operating
overhead expenses decreased 9.6 percentage points to 29.0% (2020: 38.6%). In the first six months of
2021, adidas recorded an operating profit of € 1.248 billion (2020: loss of € 215 million), resulting in an
operating margin of 12.1% (2020: -2.8%).
Financial income was down 67% to € 6 million (2020: € 17 million) while financial expenses decreased
9% to € 75 million (2020: € 82 million). Consequently, net financial expenses amounted to € 69 million
compared to € 65 million in the prior year’s period. The company recorded income taxes of € 289 million
resulting in a tax rate of 24.5%. During the six month period, the company incurred net income from
continuing operations of € 890 million (2020: loss of € 217 million), resulting in basic and diluted earnings
per share (EPS) from continuing operations of € 4.52 (2020: € -0.97). ► SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
In the first half of 2021, adidas’ gain from discontinued operations net of tax amounted to € 72 million
(2020: loss of € 74 million). As a result, the net income attributable to shareholders, which, in addition to
the net income from continuing operations, includes the gain from discontinued operations, came in at
€ 955 million (2020: loss of € 264 million). Consequently, both basic and diluted EPS from continuing and
discontinued operations were € 4.89 (2020: € -1.35).

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Changes in the statement of financial position are discussed in relation to the respective positions at the
end of June 2020.
PLANNED DIVESTITURE OF THE REEBOK BUSINESS IMPACTS BALANCE SHEET ITEMS
At June 30, 2021, all assets and liabilities of the Reebok business are presented as assets and liabilities
classified as held for sale due to a concrete plan to sell that business. At the end of the first half of 2021,
assets of € 1,674 million and liabilities of € 667 million were allocated to the Reebok business. However, a
restatement of the 2020 balance sheet items is not permitted under IFRS.
ASSETS
At the end of June 2021, total assets were up 8% to € 21.877 billion compared to the prior year (2020:
€ 20.301 billion), mainly driven by an increase in current assets.
Total current assets increased 29% to € 14.136 billion at the end of June 2021 (2020: € 10.931 billion).
Cash and cash equivalents were up 106% to € 4.151 billion (2020: € 2.018 billion), as net cash generated
from operating activities was only partly offset by net cash used for investing and financing activities.
Inventories decreased 22% to € 4.054 billion versus the prior year level of € 5.213 billion. This decline
reflects strong sell-through of the company’s products and successful inventory management across all
markets. On a currency-neutral basis, inventories also decreased 22%. Accounts receivable increased by
24% to € 2.324 billion (2020: € 1.869 billion), reflecting the company’s strong top-line growth. On a
currency-neutral basis, receivables were up 26%. Other current assets rose 1% to € 1.057 billion (2020:

LIABILITIES AND EQUITY
Total current liabilities remained virtually flat at € 9.161 billion at the end of June 2021 (2020:
€ 9.137 billion). Accounts payable were down 16% to € 2.165 billion (2020: € 2.575 billion), mainly due to
the normalization of payment terms. On a currency-neutral basis, accounts payable also decreased 16%.
Short-term borrowings declined 44% to € 682 million at the end of June 2021 (2020: € 1,217 million),
mainly reflecting lower borrowings compared to prior year, partly offset by the reclassification of a

Total non-current liabilities increased 14% to € 5.357 billion at the end of June 2021 (2020: € 4.693 billion).
Long-term borrowings increased 55% to € 2.473 billion compared to the prior year (2020: € 1.599 billion),
reflecting various bond placements in the second half of 2020. The non-current lease liability declined 7%
to € 2.206 billion (2020: € 2.374 billion) mainly due to the reclassification related to the planned divestiture
of the Reebok business.
The total number of shares outstanding remained fairly stable and slightly increased by 33,171 shares to

OPERATING WORKING CAPITAL
Operating working capital decreased 7% to € 4.213 billion at the end of June 2021 (2020: € 4.506 billion).
On a currency-neutral basis, operating working capital was down 5%. Average operating working capital
as a percentage of sales decreased 1.8 percentage points to 21.4% (2020: 23.2%), reflecting the company’s
accelerating top-line momentum and focus on tight inventory management. ► SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
LIQUIDITY ANALYSIS
In the first half of 2021, net cash generated from operating activities was € 1.172 billion (2020 net cash
used: € 824 million). This development was driven by the operating profit generated during the period as
well as the decrease in operating working capital. Net cash used in investing activities rose to € 86 million
(2020 net cash generated: € 51 million). The majority of investing activities in the first half of 2021 related
to spending for property, plant and equipment, such as investments into controlled space and the further
development of the company’s headquarter infrastructure. Net cash used in financing activities totaled
€ 945 million (2020 net cash generated: € 601 million), mainly due to the dividend paid to shareholders.
Also as a result of these developments, cash and cash equivalents increased € 2.133 billion from € 2.018
billion at the end of June 2020 to € 4.151 billion at the end of June 2021. Adjusted net borrowings at June
30, 2021, amounted to € 3.146 billion, representing a decline of € 1.842 billion compared to adjusted net
borrowings of € 4.988 billion at the end of June 2020. This development was mainly due to cash generated
from operating activities, partly offset by an increase in long-term borrowings. The company’s ratio of
adjusted net borrowings over EBITDA amounted to 0.9. ► SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE BY SEGMENT
At the beginning of 2021, we launched our new strategy ‘Own the Game’ for the period until 2025. As part
of this strategy, we are focusing our growth efforts on the three strategic markets Greater China, EMEA
and North America. To be able to execute this strategy successfully, adidas has changed its organizational
structure. Since January 1, 2021, adidas manages Greater China as a separate market. The remaining
Asia-Pacific (APAC) market now comprises Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. The
change reflects the increasing importance of Greater China as a growth market for the company. In
addition, adidas created the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market. To better leverage economies
of scale, the company has integrated the former markets Europe, Russia/CIS and Emerging Markets into
the newly formed EMEA market. The markets North America and Latin America remain unchanged.
Compared to the first half of 2020 when adidas’ top line was negatively impacted by the very large number
of temporary store closures as result of the coronavirus pandemic, sales in all segments continued to
recover and grew at a double-digit rate in both Performance and Lifestyle in the first half of 2021. In most
segments, lower inventory write-offs and a more favorable pricing mix due to less promotional activity had
a positive effect on the gross margin development. At the same time, a less favorable channel and
category mix, negative currency developments and higher sourcing costs negatively impacted the gross
margin development in most segments. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales declined in all
segments, resulting in higher operating margins across all segments.
EMEA
Sales in EMEA increased 41% on a currency-neutral basis. In euro terms, sales increased 38% to
€ 3.680 billion.
Gross margin in EMEA decreased 0.1 percentage points to 50.8%, as lower inventory write-offs and a more
favorable pricing mix due to less promotional activity were more than offset by a less favorable channel
and category mix, negative currency developments, and higher sourcing costs. Operating expenses grew
3% to € 1.082 billion, reflecting higher marketing expenditure. As a percentage of sales, operating
expenses were down 10.1 percentage points to 29.4%. The operating margin increased 10.0 percentage
points to 21.5%. Operating profit in EMEA increased 157% to € 792 million.

OUTLOOK2
GLOBAL ECONOMIC GROWTH TO RECOVER IN 20213
Global GDP is forecast to grow 5.6% in 2021, with the recovery projected to be more robust than initially
expected. Due to rapid vaccination progress in major economies, the recovery is expected to be unevenly
distributed and, in some cases, delayed. It largely reflects sharp rebounds in some major economies amid
highly unequal vaccine access, with many poorer countries facing subdued prospects. The strength of the
near-term global recovery is largely attributable to a few major economies, such as the United States and
China, with many emerging market and developing economies lagging behind. The United States and
China are each expected to contribute over one-quarter of global growth in 2021.
SPORTING GOODS INDUSTRY TO RECOVER NOTABLY IN 2021
In the absence of any major delay in the pandemic recovery or other macroeconomic shocks, we expect
the global sporting goods industry to recover notably in 2021. Consumer confidence is forecast to rebound
amid widespread vaccination and effective pandemic management as well as major sports events
returning to the global stage. While extended lockdown periods, quarantine measures and physical store
closures are still forecast to have an adverse impact in the short term, the sporting goods industry is
projected to remain fundamentally attractive in the long term, as existing global trends are accelerating.
Sports-inspired apparel and footwear (‘athleisure’) keeps evolving as a structural component of the
broader fashion landscape, complemented by increasing sports participation rates as well as rising
awareness for health and wellness. In addition, sustainability is expected to further gain in importance
amid growing environmental awareness of consumers. Moreover, purchasing behavior is forecast to
further shift toward online and social channels, and consumer insights generation along with the creation
of premium shopping experiences become increasingly important. For the sporting goods sector, risks
related to disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, supply chain challenges, re-escalating trade
tensions as well as the geo-political situation remain.
ADIDAS INCREASES OUTLOOK FOR FULL YEAR 2021
While adidas continues to be impacted by Covid-19-related lockdowns, industry-wide supply-chain
challenges and the geo-political situation, the company has increased its top- and bottom-line outlook for
2021.
Given the accelerating top-line momentum, the company now expects currency-neutral sales to increase
at a rate of up to 20% year-over-year in 2021, driven by strong double-digit improvements in all markets.
This new outlook reflects sales growth of up to 7% in the second half of the year compared to the 2020
level, which will be fueled by an array of innovative product releases, including the re-introduction of NMD,
one of adidas’ most successful franchises in recent history. In addition, the company’s Futurecraft 4D
2 This Management Report contains forward-looking statements that reflect Management’s current view with respect to the future development of adidas. The
outlook is based on estimates that we have made on the basis of all the information available to us at the time of completion of this First Half Year Report. In
addition, such forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties as described in the Risk and Opportunity Report of the adidas 2020 Annual Report which
are beyond the control of the company. In case the underlying assumptions turn out to be incorrect or described risks or opportunities materialize, actual
results and developments may materially deviate (negatively or positively) from those expressed by such statements. adidas does not assume any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements made in this Management Report beyond statutory disclosure obligations.

portfolio will be significantly expanded by the introduction of the 4D FWD Pulse. The scaling of the well-
established ZX franchise will continue with the introduction of the ZX 5K Boost. The Forum franchise, after
having been successfully incubated throughout the first two quarters of the year, will quadruple in size
during the second half of the year driven by several iterations as well as dedicated marketing activities. In
addition, major sport events, including the Olympic Games in Japan, the start of the club football season in
Europe and the kick-off to the NFL season in the US, as well as grassroots activities around the world will
provide ideal platforms to tell brand and product stories in front of global and local audiences.
The company’s full-year gross margin forecast continues to be for a level of around 52.0%. The operating
margin is now expected to increase to a level of between 9.5% and 10% (previously: 9% to 10%). Net
income from continuing operations is now projected to increase to a level of between € 1.4 billion and
€ 1.5 billion (previously: € 1.25 billion to € 1.45 billion). The company’s profitability outlook continues to
include temporary stranded costs related to the intended divestiture of Reebok. In 2021, these costs are
expected to amount to around € 250 million on the operating profit level and to impact net income from
continuing operations by approximately € 200 million. The medium-term growth outlook is not impacted
by these costs as adidas anticipates that only around 30% of the € 250 million will reoccur in 2022 and that
by 2023 the stranded costs will be fully eliminated.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Uncertainties regarding the further development of the coronavirus pandemic remain high, in particular in
light of rising infection rates in Asia and Europe. Compared to the assessment in the 2020 Annual Report,
the company’s risk profile has slightly deteriorated due to an increased risk related to consumer demand
as a consequence of the geo-political situation and product supply due to additional supply chain
challenges. Macroeconomic, regulatory and currency risks could also have a high impact on the
company’s financial results. While we still see major opportunities related to consumer demand and
product offering as well as data analytics in the mid to long term, we consider upside potential related to
short-term opportunities as limited.
Nevertheless, given the company’s strong risk-bearing capacity due to its current liquidity position and
financial health, Management does not foresee any material jeopardy to the viability of the company as a
going concern. We remain confident that the earnings strength forms a solid foundation for our business
development and provides the necessary resources to pursue future opportunities.

AT A GLANCE INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IFRS)
EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IFRS) AS
AT JUNE 30, 2021
01 GENERAL
The interim consolidated financial statements of adidas AG and its subsidiaries (collectively ‘adidas,’ the
‘Group’ or ‘the company’) for the first half year ending June 30, 2021, are prepared in compliance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union (EU). The company
applied all International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective as at June 30, 2021,
insofar as they have already been adopted into European law.
These interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in compliance with International
Accounting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting.’ Accordingly, these interim consolidated
financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required for consolidated financial
statements at financial year-end. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the 2020 annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies as
well as principles, practices and presentation applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year
ending December 31, 2020, also apply to the interim consolidated financial statements for the first half
year ending June 30, 2021.
The following new accounting standards and interpretations as well as amendments to existing standards,
which were issued by the IASB and are effective in the EU for financial years beginning on January 1, 2021,
have been applied for the first time:
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2 – Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16
─
Amendments to IFRS 4 Incurance Contracts - deferral of IFRS 9
─
These do not have any material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of adidas AG.
Further information can be found in the 2020 Annual Report.
New accounting standards and interpretations as well as amendments to existing standards that are not
yet effective in the EU or effective for financial years beginning after January 1, 2021, are not expected to
have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The amendment to IFRS 16 ‘Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions’ published by the IASB on May 28, 2020,
and effective for financial years beginning on or after June 1, 2020, was originally limited to rent
concessions that were due on or before June 30, 2021. The IASB has decided to extend the period during
which the concessions can be applied to financial years beginning on or after April 1, 2021. This decision
will not impact adidas, as adidas has not applied and will not apply the option provided in this amendment
regarding the treatment of rent concessions relating to the coronavirus pandemic. The option allows
lessees to treat rental concessions in connection with the coronavirus pandemic not as lease
modifications within the meaning of IFRS 16 but to realize the effects of the rental concessions in the
periods in which they are granted.

HALF YEAR REPORT 2021
1 2 3
AT A GLANCE INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IFRS)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of assumptions and
estimates that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. The first half of 2020 was significantly
impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Further information can be found in Note 8 of the first half year
report 2020. Compared to the first half of 2020, business development in the first half of 2021 was less
impacted by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, due to the ongoing pandemic, it is still
difficult to predict the resulting effects on assets and liabilities as well as income and expenses. Estimates
and assumptions relevant to the financial statements were made to the best of our knowledge, based on
current events and measures. In particular, judgments and discretion are used in assessing the
recoverability of deferred tax assets, in impairment tests for non-financial assets, in determining
allowances for inventories and accounts receivable, and in the calculation of provisions.
There were no changes in the scope of consolidation in the first half of 2021.
The interim consolidated financial statements and the interim Group management report were not audited
in accordance with § 317 German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB) nor reviewed in
accordance with § 115 section 5 German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG) by an
auditor.
Costs that are incurred unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or deferred in the interim
consolidated financial statements only if it would be also appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at
the end of the financial year.
The results of operations for the first half year ending June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the entire year.
The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in euros (€) and, unless otherwise stated, all
values are presented in millions of euros (€ in millions). Due to rounding principles, numbers presented
may not sum up exactly to totals provided.
02 REVENUE
The sales of the company in certain product categories are seasonal, and therefore, revenues and
attributable earnings may vary within the financial year. In the years before the coronavirus pandemic,
sales and earnings tended to be strongest in the first and third quarters of the financial year because
these coincided with the launch of the spring/summer and fall/winter collections, respectively. In the first
half of 2021, sales stabilized but variations may still occur due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Shifts
in the share of sales and attributable earnings of particular product categories or in the regional
composition may occur throughout the year. A disaggregation of revenue into product categories is
contained in these Notes. ► SEE NOTE 08
03 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On February 16, 2021, the company decided to begin a formal process aimed at divesting Reebok. Due to
the concrete plans to sell Reebok and the approval by the respective committees, the Reebok operating
business is reported as discontinued operations and classified as a disposal group held for sale at the end
of the first quarter. The fair value was determined based on the basis of existing non-binding purchase
price offers at this point of time. The transaction is expected to be completed later in 2021.

Reebok was previously neither classified as assets held for sale nor as discontinued operations. The prior
year figures of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated statement of cash flows have been
restated to show the discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.
The results of the Reebok operations are shown as discontinued operations in the consolidated income
statement:

Gains from discontinued operations for the first half year ending June 30, 2021, in an amount of
€ 72 million (2020: losses of € 74 million) are entirely attributable to the shareholders of adidas AG. The
gains from discontinued operations also include besides Reebok an amount of € 4 million (2020: loss
€ 5 million) relating to divestitures in previous years.
Total net loss of cumulative foreign currency translation differences for discontinued operations reflected
within equity amount to € 225 million. For the first half year 2021 the loss within equity amount to
€ 125 million. For 2020 the gain within equity amount to € 368 million.
The income tax expense related to discontinued operations amounts to € 76 million. This amount includes
the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the tax rate change in the UK
(€ 34 million).

08 SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
adidas operates predominantly in one industry segment – the design, distribution and marketing of athletic
and sports lifestyle products.
As at June 30, 2021, following the company’s internal management reporting by markets and in
accordance with the definition of IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments,’ five operating segments were identified:
EMEA, North America, Asia-Pacific, Greater China and Latin America.
In order to be able to successfully execute our new strategy ‘Own the Game’ for the period until 2025,
adidas has changed its organizational structure. Since January 1, 2021, adidas manages Greater China as
a separate market and integrated Russia/CIS and Emerging Markets into the European market.
The operating segment Reebok North America which was reported in the internal management reporting
until February 16, 2021, is not monitored anymore due to the reclassification of Reebok business as
discontinued operations on February 16th, 2021. Therefore the segment North America only includes the
business activities of adidas. Comparative segmental information has been retrospectively adjusted. Also
the Reebok business activities in the other operating segments have been removed in the segment
information for 2021 and 2020.
Each market comprises all wholesale, retail and e-commerce business activities relating to the
distribution and sale of products of the adidas brand to retail customers and end consumers.
Other Businesses includes the business activities of the Y-3 label and other subordinated businesses
which are not monitored separately by the chief operating decision maker. Also, certain centralized
corporate functions do not meet the definition of IFRS 8 for an operating segment. This includes, in
particular, functions such as Global Brands and Global Sales (central brand and distribution
management), central treasury, global sourcing as well as other headquarter functions. Assets, liabilities,
income and expenses relating to these corporate functions are presented in the reconciliations.
The chief operating decision-maker for adidas has been defined as the entire Executive Board of
adidas AG.
Net sales represents revenue from contracts with customers. There are no intersegment sales between
the reportable segments. Accounting and valuation policies applied for reporting segmental information
are the same as those used for adidas.
The results of the operating segments are reported in the line item ‘Segmental operating profit.’ This is
defined as gross profit minus other operating expenses plus royalty and commission income and other
operating income attributable to the segment or group of segments, however without considering
headquarter costs and central expenses for marketing.
Segmental assets include accounts receivable as well as inventories. Only these items are reported to the
chief operating decision-maker on a regular basis.
Segmental liabilities only contain accounts payable from operating activities as there are no other liability
items reported regularly to the chief operating decision-maker.

Following the company’s internal management reporting by markets, the number of cash-generating units
decreased to a total of six, effective January 1, 2021. In the first quarter 2021, the number of cash-
generating units further decreased to a total of five as the cash-generating unit North America Reebok is
classified as a disposal group and shown in ‘Assets/liabilities classified as held for sale.’
Due to the changes in segmental reporting, the carrying amounts of acquired goodwill have been
reallocated to the new groups of cash-generating units in the first quarter 2021 as follows:

Due to the change in the composition of the company’s operating segments and associated cash-
generating units respectively, adidas assessed at January 1, 2021 whether goodwill or Reebok trademark
impairments were required. The underlying value drivers and key assumptions for impairment testing
purposes remained in principle unchanged compared to the impairment test performed for the
consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2020. In this context, there was no need for goodwill
or Reebok trademark impairment.
On February 16, 2021, the company decided to begin a formal process aimed at divesting Reebok. Reebok
is reported as discontinued operations and classified as a disposal group held for sale as at June 30, 2021,
accordingly. As a result, the goodwill allocated to the group of cash generating units Europe, Middle East
and Africa (EMEA), North America, Greater China and Asia-Pacific (APAC) was split and reallocated
between adidas and Reebok cash-generating units based on relative values (fair values), respectively.

In the first quarter 2021, the reallocated goodwill as well as the Reebok trademark in an amount of € 757
million were initially measured according to IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ and goodwill allocated to
Reebok as well as the Reebok trademark were subsequently transferred to ’Assets/liabilities classified as
held for sale’ due to the concrete plans to divest Reebok.
