Adidas says net profit down in 2012 due to effects of one-off write-downs

Adidas said in a statement its year-end net profit declined by 14.2 percent to 526 million euros (US$683 million) last year.

But the group said the figure included goodwill write-downs of 265 million euros largely related to “adjusted growth assumptions for the Reebok brand, especially in North America, Latin America and Brazil.”

Excluding these, net profit grew by 29 percent to 791 million euros, adidas calculated.

Operating profit slipped by 3.4 percent to 920 million euros while sales jumped 11.7 percent to 14.883 billion euros.

“2012 has been another successful year for the adidas group,” said chief executive Herbert Hainer.

“Our products and brands were again at the fore, not only being the most visible at the year's major sports events, but also enjoying several important market share victories along the way,” he boasted.
