        Currency-neutral sales increase 10% in Q2 2018

        In the second quarter, adidas currency-neutral revenues increased 10%. Revenues at the adidas brand increased 12%, driven by double-digit growth in Sport Performance, on the back of double-digit growth in the training, running and football categories, as well as high-single-digit growth in Sport Inspired. Revenues at the Reebok brand decreased 3% as growth in Classics was more than offset by declines in the training and running categories. While revenues in the wholesale channel increased at a high-single-digit rate, direct-to-consumer sales rose at a double-digit rate with strong support from e-commerce, where revenues grew 26% in the quarter. In euro terms, the company’s sales were up 4% in the second quarter to € 5.261 billion (2017: € 5.038 billion).

        We delivered another strong quarter on the back of a successful World Cup activation. Our profitable growth was once again driven by our strategic focus areas North America, Greater China and e-commerce.

        We had a successful start to the year that was fully in line with our expectations: Our high-quality top-line growth was driven by our strategic focus areas North America, Greater China and e-commerce.
