История бренда

Адольф Дасслер родился 3 ноября 1900 года в маленьком баварском городишке Герцогенаурах. Его мать была прачкой, а отец — пекарем. Ади, как называли Адольфа в семейном кругу, рос тихим мальчиком. Когда ему было 14 лет, Германия начала Первую мировую войну, но Ади по малолетству на фронт не попал. Он туда и не рвался. Его страстью был футбол, который как раз тогда становился самой популярной игрой в Европе.

Бежал спортсмен в специально разработанных к этой Олимпиаде кроссовках Adidas «Спайкс» с регулируемыми съемными шипами. Дасслер немедленно позвонил своему помощнику, занятому на Олимпиаде, и приказал проверить обувь спортсмена.

Adidas AG (German: [ˈʔadiˌdas] (listen))^[4] is a German athletic apparel and footwear corporation headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany. It is the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe, and the second largest in the world, after Nike.^[5][6] It is the holding company for the Adidas Group, which consists 8.33% stake of the football club Bayern München,^[7] and Runtastic, an Austrian fitness technology company. Adidas’s revenue for 2018 was listed at €21.915 billion.^[3]

The company was started by Adolf Dassler in his mother’s house; he was joined by his elder brother Rudolf in 1924 under the name Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik («Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory»). Dassler assisted in the development of spiked running shoes (spikes) for multiple athletic events. To enhance the quality of spiked athletic footwear, he transitioned from a previous model of heavy metal spikes to utilising canvas and rubber. Dassler persuaded U.S. sprinter Jesse Owens to use his handmade spikes at the 1936 Summer Olympics. In 1949, following a breakdown in the relationship between the brothers, Adolf created Adidas and Rudolf established Puma, which became Adidas’s business rival.^[1]

The three stripes are Adidas’s identity mark, having been used on the company’s clothing and shoe designs as a marketing aid. The branding, which Adidas bought in 1952 from Finnish sports company Karhu Sports for the equivalent of €1,600 and two bottles of whiskey,^[8][9] became so successful that Dassler described Adidas as «The three stripes company».^[8][9]

History

Early years: the «Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik»

The company was founded by Adolf «Adi» Dassler who made sports shoes in his mother’s scullery or laundry room in Herzogenaurach, Germany after his return from World War I. In July 1924, his older brother Rudolf joined the business, which became «Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory» (Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik).^[10] The electricity supply in Herzogenaurach was unreliable, so the brothers sometimes had to use pedal power from a stationary bicycle to run their equipment.^[11]

Dassler assisted in the development of spiked running shoes (spikes) for multiple athletic events. To enhance the quality of spiked athletic footwear, he transitioned from a previous model of heavy metal spikes to utilising canvas and rubber.^[12] In 1936, Dassler persuaded U.S. sprinter Jesse Owens to use his hand made spikes at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Following Owens’ four gold medals, the name and reputation of Dassler shoes became known to the world’s sportsmen and their trainers. Business was successful and the Dasslers were selling 200,000 pairs of shoes every year before World War II.^[13]

Both Dassler brothers joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in May 1933 and also became members of the National Socialist Motor Corps.^[14] Furthermore, Adolf took the rank of Sportwart in the Hitler Youth from 1935 until the end of the war.^[15] During the war, the company was running the last sport shoe factory in the country and predominantly supplied the Wehrmacht with shoes. In 1943 the shoe production was forced to cease operations and the company’s facilities and workforce was used to manufacture anti-tank weapons. From 1942 to 1945 at least nine forced labourers were working at both sites of the company.^[16]

The Dassler factory, used for production of anti-tank weapons during World War II, was nearly destroyed in 1945 by US forces, but was spared when Adolf Dassler’s wife convinced the American soldiers that the company and its employees were only interested in manufacturing sports shoes. American occupying forces subsequently became major buyers of the Dassler brothers’ shoes.^[17]

Split and rivalry with Puma

The brothers split up in 1947 after relations between them had broken down,^[18] with Adolf forming a company formally registered as Adidas AG, from Adi Dassler, on 18 August 1949, and Rudolf forming a new firm that he called Ruda – from Rudolf Dassler, later rebranded Puma. An urban myth has promulgated the backronym All Day I Dream About Sports.^[1]

Adidas and Puma SE entered into a fierce and bitter business rivalry after the split. Indeed, the town of Herzogenaurach was divided on the issue, leading to the nickname «the town of bent necks»—people looked down to see which shoes strangers wore.^[19] Even the town’s two football clubs were divided: ASV Herzogenaurach club was supported by Adidas, while 1 FC Herzogenaurach endorsed Rudolf’s footwear.^[11] When handymen were called to Rudolf’s home, they would deliberately wear Adidas shoes. Rudolf would tell them to go to the basement and pick out a pair of free Pumas.^[11] The two brothers never reconciled and although they are now buried in the same cemetery, they are spaced as far apart as possible.^[20]

In 1948, the first football match after World War II, several members of the West German national football team wore Puma boots, including the scorer of West Germany’s first post-war goal, Herbert Burdenski. Four years later, at the 1952 Summer Olympics, 1500 metres runner Josy Barthel of Luxembourg won Puma’s first Olympic gold in Helsinki, Finland.^{[citation needed]}

At the 1960 Summer Olympics, Puma paid German sprinter Armin Hary to wear Pumas in the 100 meter sprint final. Hary had worn Adidas before and asked Adolf for payment, but Adidas rejected this request. The German won gold in Pumas, but then laced up Adidas for the medals ceremony, to the shock of the two Dassler brothers. Hary hoped to cash in from both, but Adi was so enraged he banned the Olympic champion.^[13]

Corporate image

In 1952, following the 1952 Summer Olympics, Adidas acquired its signature 3-stripe logo from the Finnish athletic footwear brand Karhu Sports, for two bottles of whiskey and the equivalent of €1600.^[9][21]

The Trefoil logo was designed in 1971 and launched in 1972,^[22] just in time for the 1972 Summer Olympics held in Munich.^[1] This logo lasted until 1997, when the company introduced the «three bars» logo (that had been designed by then Creative Director Peter Moore), initially used on the Equipment range of products.^[22]

Tapie affair

After a period of trouble following the death of Adolf Dassler’s son Horst Dassler in 1987, the company was bought in 1990 by French industrialist Bernard Tapie, for ₣1.6 billion (now €243.9 million), which Tapie borrowed.^[23] Tapie was at the time a famous specialist of rescuing bankrupt companies, an expertise on which he built his fortune.

Tapie decided to move production offshore to Asia. He also hired Madonna for promotion.^{[24][citation needed]} He sent, from Christchurch, New Zealand, a shoe sales representative to Germany and met Adolf Dassler’s descendants (Amelia Randall Dassler and Bella Beck Dassler) and was sent back with a few items to promote the company there.^{[citation needed]}

In 1992, unable to pay the loan interest, Tapie mandated the Crédit Lyonnais bank to sell Adidas,^[25] and the bank subsequently converted the outstanding debt owed into equity of the enterprise, which was unusual as per the prevalent French banking practice. The state-owned bank had tried to get Tapie out of dire financial straits as a personal favour to Tapie, it is reported, because Tapie was Minister of Urban Affairs (ministre de la Ville) in the French government at the time.

Robert Louis-Dreyfus, a friend of Tapie, became the new CEO of the company in 1994. He was also the president of Olympique de Marseille, a team Tapie had owned until 1993.^[26] Tapie filed for personal bankruptcy in 1994.^[25] He was the object of several lawsuits, notably related to match fixing at the football club. During 1997, he served 6 months of an 18-month prison sentence in La Santé prison in Paris. In February 2000, Crédit Lyonnais sold Adidas to Louis-Dreyfus for a much higher amount of money than Tapie owed, 4.485 billion (€683.514 million) francs rather than 2.85 billion (€434.479 million). They also purposely bankrupted Tapie’s company that owned Adidas, because only the company had the right to sue them.

Post-Tapie era

In 1994, combined with FIFA Youth Group, SOS Children’s Villages became the main beneficiary.

In 1997, Adidas AG acquired the Salomon Group who specialized in ski wear, and its official corporate name was changed to Adidas-Salomon AG. With this acquisition Adidas also acquired the TaylorMade golf company and Maxfli, which allowed them to compete with Nike Golf.

In 1998, Adidas sued the NCAA over their rules limiting the size and number of commercial logos on team uniforms and team clothing. Adidas withdrew the suit, and the two groups established guidelines as to what three-stripe designs would be considered uses of the Adidas trademark.

As CEO of Adidas, Louis-Dreyfus quadrupled revenue to €5.84 billion ($7.5 billion) from 1993 through 2000.^[27] In 2000, he announced he would resign the following year, due to illness.

In 2003, Adidas filed a lawsuit in a British court challenging Fitness World Trading’s use of a two-stripe motif similar to Adidas’s three stripes. The court ruled that despite the simplicity of the mark, Fitness World‘s use was infringing because the public could establish a link between that use and Adidas’s mark.^[28]

In September 2004, top English fashion designer Stella McCartney launched a joint-venture line with Adidas, establishing a long-term partnership with the corporation. This line is a sports performance collection for women called «Adidas by Stella McCartney»,^[29] and it has been critically acclaimed.^[30]

Also, on 3 May 2005, Adidas told the public that they sold their partner company Salomon Group for €485 million to Amer Sports of Finland.

In August 2005, Adidas declared its intention to buy Reebok for $3.8 billion (US$). This takeover was completed with partnership in January 2006^[1] and meant that the company had business sales closer to those of Nike in North America. The acquisition of Reebok also allowed Adidas to compete with Nike worldwide as the number two athletic shoemaker in the world.^[31]

In 2005, Adidas introduced the Adidas 1, the first ever production shoe to use a microprocessor. Dubbed by the company «The World’s First Intelligent Shoe», it features a microprocessor capable of performing 5 million calculations per second that automatically adjusts the shoe’s level of cushioning to suit its environment. The shoe requires a small, user-replaceable battery that lasts for approximately 100 hours of running. On 25 November 2005, Adidas released a new version of the Adidas 1 with an increased range of cushioning, allowing the shoe to become softer or firmer, and a new motor with 153 percent more torque.^[32]

On 11 April 2006, Adidas announced an 11-year deal to become the official NBA clothing provider. The company has been making NBA, NBDL, and WNBA jerseys and products as well as team-coloured versions of the «Superstar» basketball shoe. This deal (worth over $400 million) took over the previous Reebok deal that had been put in place in 2001 for 10 years.

In November 2011, Adidas announced that it would acquire outdoor action sport performance brand Five Ten through a share purchase agreement. The total purchase price was US$25 million in cash at closing.^[33]

Recent years

By the end of 2012, Adidas was reporting their highest revenues ever and Chief Executive Herbert Hainer expressed optimism for the year ahead. Adidas now has global corporate headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany and many other business locations around the world such as London, Portland, Toronto, Tokyo, Australia, Taiwan and Spain.^[34]

In January 2015, Adidas launched the footwear industry’s first reservation mobile app. The Adidas Confirmed app allows consumers to get access to and reserve the brand’s limited edition sneakers by using geo targeting technology.^[35]

On 24 March 2015, Adidas and McDonald’s unveiled the 2015 McDonald’s All-American uniforms. For the third year in a row, players will be wearing short-sleeved jerseys, made with the same lightweight and breathable material as the ones used in the NBA.^[36]

In August 2015, Adidas acquired fitness technology firm Runtastic for approximately $240 million.^[37]

In May 2017, Adidas sold TaylorMade golf company (including Ashworth) to KPS Capital Partners for $425 million.^[38]

In March 2022, Adidas sold Reebok to the Authentic Brands Group,^[39] for ca. $2.5 billion.^[40]

Association football

One of the main focuses of Adidas has always been football kits, and the associated equipment. Adidas remains a major company in the global supply of team kits for international association football teams and clubs.

Adidas makes referee kits that are used in international competition and by many countries and leagues in the world. The company has been an innovator in the area of footwear for the sport, with notable examples including the 1979 release of the Copa Mundial moulded boot used for matches on firm dry pitches. It holds the accolade of the best selling boot of all time. The soft-ground equivalent was named World Cup and it too remains on the market.

Since 1970, FIFA, the world governing body of football, has commissioned specially designed footballs for use in its own World Cup tournaments. The Adidas Telstar was the first ball commissioned for the World Cup in 1970. The balls supplied for the 2006 World Cup, the «Teamgeist», were particularly noteworthy for their ability to travel further than previous types when struck, leading to longer range goals. Goalkeepers were generally believed to be less comfortable with the design of the ball, claiming it was prone to move significantly and unpredictably in flight.^[43]

Adidas introduced the Jabulani for the 2010 World Cup. The ball was designed and developed by Loughborough University in conjunction with Bayern München. The Adidas Brazuca for the 2014 World Cup was the first World Cup ball named by the fans.^[44] In 2022, for the 14th time in a row, Adidas created the 2022 World Cup ball, Al Rihla.^[45]

From 2006 to 2017, Adidas was the uniform supplier of all the 30 teams in the National Basketball Association, replacing the Reebok brand after Adidas’s acquisition of Reebok. Adidas was replaced by Nike as the official uniform supplier of the league after the 2016–17 season.^[52]

Cricket

Adidas began manufacturing cricket footwear in the mid-1970s, with their initial target market being Australia. Their shoes were a radical departure from traditional leather cricket boots which had remained basically unchanged for decades, being lighter and more flexible but also offering less toe protection, so that it became not uncommon to see batsmen who had been struck by the ball on the foot hopping around in pain. Having continued to manufacture cricket footwear for many years, in 2006 the company finally entered the field of bat manufacture in 2008 and currently their bat range includes the Pellara, Incurza, Libro and M-Blaster models.

In the 1990s, Adidas signed the superstar Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar and made shoes for him.^[53] From 2008 until his retirement, Adidas had sponsored the cricket bat used by Tendulkar. It created a new bat, ‘Adidas MasterBlaster Elite’, personalized for him.

In 2008, Adidas made a concerted move into English cricket market by sponsoring English batting star Kevin Pietersen after the cancellation of his lifetime deal with Woodworm, when they ran into financial difficulties.^[54] The following year they signed up fellow England player Ian Bell, Pakistan opening batsman Salman Butt and Indian Player Ravindra Jadeja.

During the 1980s and 1990s, not only were they exclusive apparel and footwear sponsors of world number one men’s tennis players Ivan Lendl and Stefan Edberg and ladies’ world number one Steffi Graf, but each player had their own, exclusive graphic styles designed for their use during play, which were in turn marketed to the general public. Ivan Lendl even spent the vast majority of his dominant career playing with several different models of Adidas tennis racquets, primarily using the legendary Adidas GTX-Pro and then later the Adidas GTX Pro-T. In 2009 the company introduced a new line of tennis racquets. While the Feather was made for the «regular player», and the Response for the «club player», Adidas targeted the «tournament player» with the 12.2 oz Barricade tour model.^[66][67]

Kabaddi

Adidas entered Kabaddi which is still a non-Olympic sport but highly popular in the Indian subcontinent and Asian countries. In 2014, with the launch of Pro Kabaddi League a city based franchise league in India, Kabaddi took the region by storm. In 2015, they tied up with Mumbai-based franchise U Mumba.^[68]

Accessories

Adidas also designs and makes slide-style sandals, mobile accessories,^[69] watches, eyewear, bags, baseball caps, and socks. As well, Adidas has a branded range of male and female deodorants, perfumes, aftershave and lotions.

Adidas announced they would be launching a new $199 Fit Smart wristband in mid-August 2014. The wristband will pair with Adidas’s miCoach app, which acts as a personal trainer.^[70]

Adilette

Adilette was the first ever pair of sandals made by Adidas, originally developed in 1963.^[1] Adidas claims that a group of athletes approached Adi Dassler requesting a shoe be made for the locker room. To this day, the resulting sandals are a best-seller.^[71] Since the original navy blue and white Adilette sandals were created nearly fifty years ago, more varieties have been created in different colours (black, red, green, grey, orange, brown, yellow, pink, golden, silver). Most recently, Adidas has introduced a colour scheme that goes along with its Predator and adizero line; the scheme is dubbed warning (orange) and purple. Usually, the three stripes appear in the contrasting colour on the strap of the classic models. The most common Adilette livery is in navy blue or black, mixed with white colours. Also the Woodilette and Trefoil models follow a similar design but without stripes on the strap.^{[citation needed]}

The model provides a contoured orthopedic rubber sole with synthetic upper, and was designed as an after sport slide sandal, but the Adilette were quickly adopted outside of the sporting world.^{[citation needed]}

Adissage

Adissage is also a slide sandal. Available in black, navy, light blue, black with pink, and other assorted colors, the sandal has the trademarked three stripes on a velcro strap toward the front of the shoe. On the side of the shoe, toward the heel on either side, the manufacturers name appears, as well as on a round emblem in the actual heel of the footbed. Notably, there are tiny black massage nubs throughout the foot-bed for the purpose of massaging foot aches after sport, although popular as a casual sandal amongst non-athletes as well.^{[citation needed]}

Santiossage

The Santiossage is a slide-style sandal. The sandal has the trademarked three stripes on a velcro strap toward the front of the shoe. Santiossage comes in black, navy, or red. On the side of the shoe, toward the heel on either side, the manufacturer’s name appears, as well as on a round emblem in the actual heel of the foot-bed. Like the Adissage there are tiny clear massage nubs throughout the foot-bed for the purpose of massaging after-sport footaches, although the sandals are worn casually among non-athletes. Seen through these clear nubs are Adidas’s three stripes.^{[citation needed]}

Marketing

During the mid to late 1990s, Adidas divided the brand into three main groups with each a separate focus: Adidas Performance was designed to maintain their devotion to the athlete; Adidas Originals was designed to focus on the brand’s earlier designs which remained a popular life-style icon; and Style Essentials, which dealt with the fashion market; the main group within this being Y-3 (which is a collaboration between Adidas and renowned Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto — the Y representing Yamamoto and the 3 representing the three stripes of Adidas).

Launched in 2004, «Impossible is Nothing» is one of the company’s most memorable campaigns.^[1] The campaign was developed by 180/TBWA based in Amsterdam, but significant work was also done by TBWAChiatDay in San Francisco.^[72] A few years later, Adidas launched a basketball specific campaign — «Believe in 5ive«—for the 2006-2007 NBA season.^[73]

In 2011, «Adidas is all in» became the global marketing strategy slogan for Adidas. The slogan aimed to tie all brands and labels together, presenting a unified image to consumers interested in sports, fashion, street, music and pop culture. There appears to be connection with the phrase «all-in» meaning «exhausted» in some English speaking nations.

In 2015, Adidas launched «Creating the New» as its strategic business plan until 2020.^[74]

Collaborations

Adidas has done several collaborations with well known designers, including Alexander Wang, Jeremy Scott, Raf Simons, and Stella McCartney. They have also reached out to several celebrities, such as Beyoncé, Jonah Hill, Karlie Kloss, Ninja and Pharrell Williams to create some of the company’s most notable and coveted pieces.^[75]

India has been a very speculative market for Adidas.^[why?] Despite this Dave Thomas, managing director of Adidas in India is ambitious for the country’s potential.^[76] The company hoped to double its revenue from Rs. 805 crores by 2020.^[76] In 2015, the company signed Ranveer Singh a prominent Bollywood actor as a brand ambassador to the company’s products.^[77] Ranveer then was a budding actor. The company later decided to use the people’s almost religious adoration for the game of cricket to promote their brand. It soon launched a new cricket campaign in the country.^[78] The campaign was called FeelLoveUseHate with prominent Indian cricketer Virat Kohli.^[79] However, in 2017, Virat Kohli was removed as the brand ambassador of the company.^[80] The cricketer later signed a major deal with Puma India.^[81] The company also sells its products online through e-commerce websites such as Myntra, Snapdeal, Jabong and Amazon. Adidas also has a website dedicated to the Indian audience that markets and sells products to its consumers in India.^[82]

Adidas has numerous major kit deals with football clubs worldwide, including their main sponsor Bayern München.^[83] Moreover, their sponsored national teams include Germany, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Japan, Hungary, Belgium, Colombia, Wales and Italy.

Adidas provides clothing and equipment for all teams in Major League Soccer (MLS).

In July 2014, Adidas and Manchester United agreed to a ten-year kit deal, beginning with the 2015–16 Premier League season.

Criticism

Adidas’s business practises/ethics and commitment to worker welfare have been scrutinised and often criticised.^[105][106]

2011 All Blacks replica rugby jersey pricing controversy

Unhappy with the local price of the Adidas replica All Blacks jersey, New Zealand-based All Blacks fans have asked for price cuts and begun purchasing the jersey from overseas vendors after it was revealed that the local price of NZ$220 was more than twice the price offered on some websites.^[107]

Adidas has responded by enforcing cross-border agreements to stop overseas retailers from selling to New Zealand residents. It has been labelled a public relations disaster by leading New Zealand PR firms and Consumer advocate groups. The largest New Zealand sportswear retailer Rebel Sport has stated it is angry and is considering selling the All Blacks Jerseys to the general public below cost.

2012 «shackle» sneakers

On 14 June 2012, Adidas posted on their Facebook page a picture of a pair of Jeremy Scott-designed shoes containing shackles. The picture was of a planned shoe line that Adidas intended to release in July. The photo quickly caused controversy including that of Jesse Jackson who was quoted as saying «The attempt to commercialize and make popular more than 200 years of human degradation, where blacks were considered three-fifths human by our Constitution is offensive, appalling and insensitive».^[108] Jackson threatened a boycott, and NBA commissioner David Stern was at one point reportedly contacted in hopes that he would intervene.^[108] Shortly after the outcry, the company cancelled the product.^[108]

Sweatshops and labour rights violations

Adidas has been criticized for operating sweatshops, particularly in Indonesia. Between 2006 and 2007, Adidas rejected many of its suppliers that supported unions in favour of subcontractors with worse labour rights records.^[109] By subcontracting work to different suppliers, it is more difficult for Adidas to ensure company labour standards are enforced. Adidas’s policy includes the freedom for workers to take part in collective bargaining and a non-retaliation policy towards workers who express concerns.^[when?][110] In practice, however, many of Adidas’s suppliers have not upheld these standards. At the Panarub factory in Java, 33 workers were fired after striking for better pay in 2005.^[111] PT Kizone is another Indonesian factory where Adidas has been criticized over treatment of workers. They produced products for Adidas as well as Nike and the Dallas Cowboys until they closed in January 2011. 2,686 workers who were laid off are owed $3 million in severance pay and benefits. Nike has contributed $1.5 million but Adidas has not acted. A campaign has been initiated by United Students Against Sweatshops calling for universities to cut contracts with Adidas.^[112] On 16 July 2012, War on Want organised activists in London to replace Adidas price tags in sports stores with 34p ones,^[113] a reference to the low hourly wage rate paid to the Indonesian workers who make Adidas goods.^[114] The campaign group Labour Behind the Label claimed that the basic pay of Indonesian Adidas workers was only £10 a week. William Anderson, head of social and environmental affairs for the Asia Pacific region, posted an entry on the company blog in which he claimed that total wages including bonuses and overtime were often double the hourly wage, and drew attention to purchasing power parity.^[115]

In April 2014, one of the biggest strikes on mainland China took place at the Yue Yuen Industrial Holdings Dongguan shoe factory, producing amongst others for Adidas.^[116]

In 2022, researchers from Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences identified cotton from Xinjiang in Adidas shirts.^[117]

Soviet themed items, and advertising

In 2018, Adidas promoted a line of Soviet themed items. After a social media outcry, they were taken off the market.^[118]

NCAA corruption scandal

Adidas executive James Gatto was indicted in the 2017 NCAA Division I men’s basketball corruption scandal.^{[119][120][121]}

Racial diversity controversy

In June 2020, the head of global human resources at Adidas voluntarily stepped down after black employees raised concerns about her failure to address racism and discrimination in the workplace.^[122] The former HR chief had also made a comment about racism being «noise,» in addition to not adequately addressing workforce diversity.^[123] Upon her resignation, she made a statement saying that she supports the company’s continued progress towards racial justice and offered an apology.^{[124][125][126]}

Показатели деятельности

2022: Потеря 100 млн евро за квартал из-за ухода с российского рынка

Adidas по итогам второго квартала 2022 года потерял около 100 млн евро выручки из-за приостановки деятельности в России. Об этом компании сообщила в рамках своей финансовой отчетности, опубликованной в августе 2022 года.

9 марта 2022 года Adidas приостановила работу сайта и приложения в России. Спустя несколько дней закрылись розничные магазины сети.

В мае 2022 года газета «Известия» писала, что Adidas завершает корректировку логистики, чтобы вернуться к работе в РФ. Дело в том, что раньше все поставки в Россию осуществлялись из складов в Европе, а теперь фирма арендовала для этого площадки в Турции. При этом собеседник газеты допускал, что Adidas продаст российский бизнес, как это сделали другие компании.

Позже Telegram-канал Mash сообщал о планах спортивного бренда открыть российские магазины в сентябре 2022 года.

На показателях Adidas, помимо ухода с российского рынка, также сказали локдауны, введенные из-за пандемии коронавируса COVID-19 в Китае и Вьетнаме. Всего компания недосчиталась 300 млн евро выручки по итогам второй четверти 2022 года.

Общая выручка Adidas за апрель-июнь 2022 года выросла на 5% относительно аналогичного периода 2021-го — до 10,9 млрд евро. Чистая прибыль Adidas сократилась на 7%, до 360 млн евро.

При этом в компании отмечают хорошие результаты на западных рынках — так, выручка в Северной Америке выросла во втором квартале 2022 года на 37% в сравнении с показателем годичной давности. Увеличение выручки было вызвано повышением продаж в сегментах «Футбол», «Бег» и «Открытый спорт» на фоне возобновления крупных спортивных событий. ^[1]

2020

Выручка от продаж спортивной обуви — $13,7 млрд

Снижение выручки на 16%, до 19,8 млрд, прибыли — на 78% (429 млн евро)

По итогам 2020 года выручка немецкого производителя спортивной одежды и обуви Adidas сократилась на 16% по сравнению с 2019 годом — с 23,640 млрд евро до 19,8 млрд евро. Прибыль компании сократилась на 78%, достигнув 429 млн евро, тогда как в 2019 году показатель составлял 1,918 млрд евро.

Рорстед обратил внимание на рост онлайн-продаж компании, где было зафиксировано увеличение на 53% (более 4 млрд евро). Выручка от продажи обуви в 2020 году упала на 18% и составила 11,128 млн евро, тогда как в 2019 году показатель достигал 13,521 млн евро. Продажа одежды принесла 7,687 млн евро, что на 14% меньше, чем в 2019 году (8,963 млн евро). Спортивное снаряжение и аксессуары в 2020 году принесли Adidas 1,028 млн евро, что на 11% меньше, чем в 2019 году, когда на этот сегмент пришлось 1,156 млн евро.

Выручка компании в России и СНГ в 2020 году упала на 11,3%, до 584 млн евро, годом ранее показатель составлял 658 млн евро. В Европе выручка немецкой компании составила 5,320 млрд евро, что на 12% меньше, чем в 2019 году (6,071 млрд евро). В Северной Америке выручка достигла 4,762 млрд евро — это на 10% меньше, чем годом ранее, тогда показатель составлял 5,313 млрд евро.

Лидером является Азиатско-Тихоокеанский регион, там продажи спортивных товаров составили 6,546 млрд евро, что на 18% меньше, чем в 2019 году (8,032 млрд евро). Обвал на 60% зафиксирован в Латинской Америке — 1,660 млрд евро в 2019 году против 998 млн евро в 2020 году. На развивающихся рынках также спад на 23% — в 2020 году компания получила 998 млн евро, в 2019 году — 605 млн евро.^[2][3]

История

2021: Adidas продаёт Reebok компании Authentic Brands Group за 2,1 млрд евро

Adidas AG сообщила, что согласилась продать Reebok компании Authentic Brands Group за сумму до 2,1 млрд евро ($2,47 млрд долларов), примерно через 15 лет после приобретения американского фитнес-бренда и попыток его модернизации.

Немецкой компании по производству спортивных товаров удалось улучшить бизнес Reebok, но его продажи отстают от продаж самого Adidas и снижают прибыль группы.

2020

2018

Планы по закрытию всех магазинов и акценту на онлайн-торговле

В апреле 2018 года стало известно о планах Adidas закрыть розничные магазины и сделать ставку на онлайн-торговлю. Генеральный директор компании Каспер Рорстед (Kasper Rorsted) считает, что наступит тот день, когда немецкий производитель спортивной одежды и экипировки будет продавать товары только в интернете.

По словам главы Adidas, компания будет сокращать количество магазинов, а оставшиеся точки станут лучше. Ритейлер уже начал закрывать офлайн-магазины, в 2019 году их количество сократится, но незначительно. В дальнейшем планируется полный отказ от физической розницы в пользу онлайн-канала.

В 2017 году интернет-продажи принесли компании 1,6 млрд евро. По планам Adidas, к 2020 году этот показатель вырастет до 4 млрд евро. На 2018 год производитель одежды запланировал 900 млн евро расходов, и большая этих затрат пойдет на digital-операции, в том числе на логистику и инфраструктуру: склады для хранения и доставки товаров, заказанных онлайн-покупателями.

К началу апреля 2018 года у Adidas насчитывается 2500 магазинов по всему миру, а также 13 тыс. монобрендовых салонов, открытых по франшизе.

Ранее стало известно, что Adidas сократила число сотрудников в России и СНГ на 26% в 2017 году. К 31 декабря в регионе работали 9,1 тыс. человек — 16% от всего персонала компании.

В 2017 году Adidas сообщала о планах закрыть до 160 магазинов в России. В компании отмечали, что Россия остается единственным регионом присутствия Adidas с падающей выручкой.^[4]

В десятке самых дорогих немецких брендов

В январе 2018 года компания вошла в десятку самых дорогих немецких брендов, согласно рейтингу, который составили рекламно-коммуникационный холдинг WPP и маркетинговое агентство Kantar Millward Brown. Подробнее здесь.

2017: Закрытие отдела разработки носимой электроники

В середине декабря 2017 года стало известно о том, что компания Adidas закрывает подразделение Digital Sports business unit (DSB), ответственное за разработки в области носимой электроники.

Решение Adidas может привести к сокращению 74 сотрудников, среди которых специалисты в области анализа и обработки данных, дизайна, разработки алгоритмов, программного и аппаратного обеспечения, сообщает Women’s Wear Daily (WWD). Вместе с тем, в беседе с журналистами пресс-секретарь Adidas заявила, что сотрудников постараются перевести на другие должности внутри компании.

По данным WWD, Adidas впервые занялась носимой электроникой еще в 2001 году, когда стала выпускать спортивную обувь со встроенными сенсорами. Решение о закрытии подразделения принято в рамках мер по структурной перестройке с целью сконцентрировать внимание на приобретенной в 2015 году фитнес-платформе Runtastic и обновленном мобильном приложении Adidas для онлайн-покупок.

В то же время пресс-секретарь Adidas отметила, что компания быстрыми темпами расширяет свой североамериканский бизнес: число сотрудников в штаб-квартире в Портленде за три года увеличилось более чем вдвое и к концу 2017 года достигло 1700.

2007: Объединение направлений sport Style и sport Heritage

Adidas Performance — направление компании, собравшее в себе технологии, облегчающие тренировки спортсменам, и характеризующееся такими показателями, как современность экипировки для занятий спортом, инновации, революционные технологии, «умные продукты».

Направление компании adidas Sport Heritage (более известное как Originals) было основано в 2001 году, однако, до этого в компании существовали в «неоформленном» виде все предпосылки и особенности данного направления. Originals — это направление, вобравшее в себя все модные и стильные тренды из мира спортивной одежды, которые существуют на момент выхода коллекции. Как правило, в Originals отсутствуют или крайне мало представлены спортивные разработки компании Adidas, так как направление предназначено для повседневного ношения, а не для спорта и занятий фитнесом.

Adidas Sport Style (Adidas Style) — направление было создано в 2002 году, и собирает в себе авторские дизайнерские работы, плоды сотрудничества компании с известными дизайнерами мира моды. Продукты данного направления сочетают в себе удобство и практичность спортивной одежды и стильность кэжуал-одежды. Это модели для активных, спортивных людей, в то же время предпочитающих всегда выглядеть красиво и модно. Сам Adidas официально заявляет, что направление Style — это будущее спортивной экипировки и одежды. Привлекая таких дизайнеров, как Ёдзи Ямамото, Adidas добился проникновения в недоступные до этого потребительские пулы.

В 2007 году sport Style и sport Heritage объединились в единое направление sport Style, однако логотипы двух направлений по-прежнему присутствуют на продукции компании.

1948: Разделение бизнеса на две фирмы Adidas и Puma

Со временем отношения между братьями испортились, и в 1948 году они разделили фирму. Адольф организовал компанию Adidas (название сложено из уменьшительной формы имени Ади и первых трех букв фамилии), а Рудольф — компанию Ruda, вскоре переименованную в Puma.

1928: Олимпийцы выступают в обуви Дасслеров

На летних Олимпийских играх 1928 года несколько спортсменов выступали в спортивной обуви Дасслеров.

1924: Основание компании Gebrüder Dassler

Адольф Дасслер родился в небогатой семье. Сапожник по профессии (вслед за отцом; мать была прачкой), уже вскоре после Первой мировой войны Адольф при помощи отца, Кристофа Дасслера, работавшего на обувной фабрике, начал производить спортивную обувь. Его партнёрами были кузнецы братья Целейн, которые изготавливали шипы для подошв. В 1923 году Адольф пригласил в свою фирму старшего брата Рудольфа.

1 июля 1924 года Рудольф и Адольф официально открыли обувную фирму Gebrüder Dassler, ставшую очень успешной. Адольф занимался вопросами производства, а Рудольф — вопросами продаж.

Отчетность

Компания Adidas AG

Adidas AG – концерн из Германии, работающий в сфере производства и реализации спортивных товаров. Компания специализируется на выпуске одежды и инвентаря.

История немецкого гиганта началась сразу после Первой мировой войны в 1924 году с основания обувной фабрики братьев Дасслер. Бренд Dassler стал фундаментом, на котором позже появятся 2 известных производителя спортивной одежды и обуви.

После Второй мировой войны в семействе Дасслер наметился раскол. Адольф и Рудольф разделили между собой 2 фабрики и оба начали отдельное производство. Адольф назвал свое Addas и вскоре переименовал в Adidas, Рудольф основал бренд Ruda, позже переименовав его в Puma.

В начале 50-х годов Adidas закрепил за собой звание компании, обеспечивающей инновации в отрасли. Именно Адидас впервые применил съемные шипы из резины на нейлоновой основе. В то же время началось производство спортивной одежды и сумок.

В 1952 Adidas диверсифицирует производство – начинается выпуск спортивных сумок и костюмов.

Начало 80-х выдалось сложным. В 1978 г. умер Адольф Дасслер, а на рынке появились новые агрессивные игроки – Reebok и Nike. Кризис затянулся, преодолеть его смогли только в 90-х годах за счет использования дешевой рабочей силы из стран третьего мира. С тех пор Адидас укрепил свои позиции на рынке.

В 1989 году Адидас купил Бернар Тапи, а в 1993 он продал компанию французским инвесторам.

После этого Adidas провёл ряд поглощений, расширив ассортимент. В 2005 году был куплен Reebok, но компания так и не смогла поднять купленный бренд на ступень выше и в 2021 году Рибок был продан за 2,1 млрд евро американской компании Authentic Brands Group.

Стоимость акций Адидас стабильно растет.

Дочерние компании

У немецкого концерна есть ряд дочерних компаний, в основном это подразделения, работающие в отдельных странах. Наиболее известные:

• Runtastic;
• TaylorMade-Adidas;
• Adidas (Netherlands);
• Adidas (United States);
• Adidas (Canada);
• Five Ten;
• Adidas International B.V.

Рекомендации

При прогнозировании цены акций Adidas AG на бирже, обратите внимание на:

• Основная часть производства вынесена в азиатский регион. Форс-мажорные факторы, негативно влияющие на экономическую активность в этой зоне, сказываются и на курсе акций концерна;
• Мировые кризисы – они сказываются на продажах Адидас. Их товары не относятся к продуктам первой необходимости;
• Срыв графиков проведения различных спортивных соревнований – также сказывается на стоимости акций концерна;
• Финансовые показатели. Достаточно следить за квартальными отчетами, финансовый год совпадает с календарным, отчеты выходят в марте, июне, сентябре и декабре.

Адидас является одним из лидеров отрасли, капитализация превышает €50 млрд. Устойчивость компании доказана практикой – концерн успешно пережил кризисные периоды, поглощал конкурентов и сохранил лидирующие позиции в своей сфере.

Котировки стабильно растут и это делает акции Adidas AG привлекательным инвестиционным инструментом. За счет неплохой волатильности этот актив подходит и для внутридневной торговли.

Сегодня Adidas – один из крупнейших концернов по производству спортивной одежды, обуви и инвентаря. Компания имеет всего 2 свои фабрики – большинство продукции изготавливается более чем 100 партнёрами, производства которых сосредоточены, преимущественно, в Азии.
