Adidas Confirms Preliminary Results, Raises Guidance

The company cited stronger full-price demand and a 37% jump in operating profit after a US tariff refund.

  • On Thursday, German sportswear maker Adidas confirmed its third-quarter results and raised full-year profit guidance, citing strong sales in running and football lines.
  • Operating profit surged 37% last quarter, bolstered by a US tariff refund and full-price sales, while marketing expenses rose 4% to €833 million.
  • Currency-Neutral performance revenues grew 14%, driven by double-digit gains of 13% in Greater China and 12% in North America, where Adidas outperformed rival Nike.
  • Europe sales fell 4% to €2.24 billion in the quarter, yet Adidas said it expects "high-single-digit growth in Europe" in Q4 from delayed shipments and higher wholesale sell-in.
  • As popularity of Samba and Gazelle sneakers gradually fades, Adidas is investing in new styles, including the lightest-ever Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 racing shoe.
