Adidas AUD$900 Million Under Revenue Projection

German sportswear company, Adidas, has reported a 3% growth in revenue during the third quarter of 2021, despite falling €600 million (AUD$936 million) below revenue growth projections.

Total revenue for the company between July and September was €5.8 billion (AUD$9.05 billion).

The drop in projected revenue for the quarter is due to the many lockdowns across the Asia-Pacific region which caused supply chain issues, as well as significantly higher supply costs.

Adidas chief executive, Kasper Rorsted, said: “Adidas performed well in an environment characterised by severe challenges on both the supply and demand side.”

“As a consequence of successful product launches we are experiencing strong top-line momentum in all markets that operate without major disruption.

“Doube-digit growth in our direct-to-consumer businesses in EMEA, North America, and Latin America is a testament to the strong consumer demand for our products,” Rorsted said.

The Asia-Pacific region faced a sale drop of 8%, while Latin America saw a 55% increase and North America saw a 9% increase in revenue.

Yet despite the lack of growth this quarter, the annual revenue is still expected to reach between €1.4 billion (AUD$2.2 billion) and €1.5 billion (AUD$2.3 billion), with its gross margin expected to be around 51%, 1% short of last year.

This slight annual decrease is due to the fluctuation of currency throughout the year, which has been heavily influenced by COVID-19.

“At the same time, we are navigating through the current worldwide supply chain constraints,” Rorsted said.

“Despite all challenges, we are on track to delivering a successful first year within our new strategic cycle,” he said.
