Exclusive Video: Herbert Hainer on the adidas Group’s Nine Months 2012 results

This morning we released the adidas Group‘s Nine Months 2012 results. In the first nine months of 2012, adidas Group sales increased 8% on a currency-neutral basis driven by double-digit growth in Retail and Other Businesses. Net income grew 22% to 798 million euro. This marks the seventh consecutive quarter in which we grew the bottom line faster than the top line. Our results so far this year prove that Route 2015 is a powerful and robust strategic business plan that enables us to achieve record sales and earnings in 2012 and 2013. I interviewed our CEO Herbert Hainer exclusively for the adidas Group blog and he shared his views on our results, the current economic climate and how he expects the company to perform in 2013.

A winning performance: Herbert Hainer on London 2012 and the adidas Group’s financial results

A winning performance: Herbert Hainer on London 2012 and the adidas Group’s financial results

adidas has a very long, unique and authentic history with modern Olympics: Adi Dassler’s shoes were worn for the first time at the Olympic Games back in 1928. Today, the Olympic Games are still very important to the adidas Group; not only as a valuable platform to present the adidas brand, its products and innovations to a global audience but also because the Olympics echo the values of our Group: performance, passion, integrity and diversity. Therefore and to give a taste of the significant role the adidas Group plays in global sports, our CEO Herbert Hainer reported today directly from the ground of the London Olympics on the adidas Group’s first half 2012 results.

The results show that the adidas Group delivered another winning financial performance in this period - despite all that is going on from a macroeconomic and competitive perspective. In a nutshell we added one billion to our top-line year-on-year. In the following video Herbert Hainer shares some background on this topic and on how these Olympics are benefiting our Group. Just to give you an example: Herbert Hainer revealed today that, from a commercial perspective, this will be the most successful Games we have ever had, with Olympic licence product sales up 250% compared to Beijing. In the video Herbert Hainer also explains why he’d be awarding adidas with a gold medal.

During the reporting of the adidas Group’s financial full-year results 2011, it was announced that TaylorMade-adidas Golf recorded 1.044 billion Euro sales. This quadruplication within the last 14 years is a tremendous achievement and made TaylorMade-adidas Golf the global number 1 of the golf industry. In his article “TaylorMade soars as rest of golf industry swoons” Kurt Badenhausen analyses for Forbes.com the reasons for this success. It’s a very interesting read – so check it out.
