Affirmed

“Consequently, the directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “Sales increased by 14% (2023: 9% decrease) from £1,125,356,000 to £1,283,102,000 versus prior year. This consisted of an increase in sales of £144,710,000 in wholesale, £5,766,000 in our own retail stores and £7,270,000 in our e-Commerce channel.”
• “Profit before tax increased by 49% (2023: 18% decrease) versus prior year to £45,858,000 (2023: £30,859,000), driven primarily by a higher revenue figure.”
• “2024 was a year of growth and strong brand momentum for adidas. The demand for adidas products was evident with substantial growth in both the Lifestyle and Performance categories. The Company benefited from major sports events in 2024, particularly in the Football kit business, which saw an increase in replica shirt sales related to EURO 2024 as well as the popularity of the predator and F50 boots. In the Lifestyle category, the rapid scaling of the Terrace range has driven customer demand in 2024. The Company expects growth to continue during 2025, with continued focus on reducing discounting activity and improving the overall business mix on its own online platforms while maintaining the strong brand momentum.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
