Backlogs at Reebok Brand Improve Sequentially
Backlogs for the Reebok brand at the end of 2006 decreased
12% versus the prior year on a currency-neutral basis, showing
a sequential improvement from the prior quarter. In euro
terms, this represents a decline of 18%. Footwear backlogs
declined 15% in currency-neutral terms (– 21% in euros),
mainly due to decreases in Reebok’s lifestyle offering in North
America. Apparel backlogs were down 9% on a currency-neutral
basis (–14% in euros) as a result of a decline in both
Reebok’s licensed and branded apparel business, particularly
in North America. The transfer of the NBA and Liverpool
licensed businesses from Reebok to adidas also negatively
affected apparel backlogs development. Excluding the effects
of this transfer, total Reebok backlogs decreased 10% on a
currency-neutral basis.
