CORPORATE MISSION STATEMENT Âť TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
After entering the wonderful 2010 with cautious optimism, the adidas Group can now turn back on a year characterised by recovery and success. For the adidas Group, this was such a year of major sports events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Winter Games. Furthermore, thanks to innovative products and marketing campaigns, all of our brands met with a very positive response
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS among our consumers. The positive effects of the new organizational structure was also a contribution to a significant improvement of the adidas Group’s results from last year, 2010. In the past financial year, we regularly advised the Executive Board on the management of the company and carefully and regularly supervised its activities. In particular, we examined the legality, expediency and regularity of the Executive Board’s management. The Executive Board informed us regularly, extensively and in a timely manner through oral and written reports, both at Supervisory Board meetings and in the periods between our meetings. This information covered
the Group’s business policy as well as all relevant aspects of business planning, including finance, investment and personnel planning. We were also kept up-to-date on the very course and flow of the business, the operational position of adidas AG and the Group, the Group’s financial position and profitability, as well as all the major decisions and business transactions.

SPORTS PERFORMANCE
SILVIA FELT, GERMAN, CATEGORY MANAGER Four figures are my constant companion: 3.86, 180.2, 42.195 and 10. In other words: swimming, cycling and running – all in under ten hours and at the very end, only one sentence said: “You’re an Ironman!”. You have to train very hard in each single discipline if you want to complete the triathlon successfully. This means meticulous time management and discipline are extremely important, because at the end of the day you have to perform at your very best in three different disciplines. I’m committed to both with heart and soul and always give my best. Because sport is my passion.

"GO FASTER, HIGHER, FURTHER — SIMPLY BE BETTER." – JESSICA ENNIS
JESSICA ENNIS, BRITISH, HEPTATHLETE You’re full of concentration; you compete by yourself, you compete alone, not against others but against yourself. You must go faster, higher, further – simply be better. The equipment is perfect and you are focused, striving for that perfect performance. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already won six events if you fail in the seventh. Clench your teeth for the last time and excel once again: only another 800m between you and the top spot on the podium.

SPORTS PERFORMANCE
AUBREY DOLAN, IRISH, SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER My sport: football. My passion: winning. My fascination: No matter what country you’re in, football is a language that is spoken all over the world. My motto: Be better today than you were yesterday. I started playing club football at the age of six, then right from the beginning I had only one dream: to become a professional. I played from sunrise to sunset, from twelve training sessions a week, in four different teams. I’ll never forget what it felt like to win the Football Association
of Ireland Challenge Cup twice as a team captain. I’m still in touch today with my coaches, my team mates and former opponents. Then, in Germany, I was given the opportunity to work as a professional – not on a football pitch, but on the product side. Ever since, I’ve been trying and making sure that the professionals on the field of play are equipped with the very best products.

SPORTS PERFORMANCE
DERRICK ROSE, AMERICAN, BASKETBALLER You look at the clock. Just a few seconds left to play. You only have one ojective: to score and win the game. You feel you’re ready. You stand secure; your shoes have been made just for you and even bear your name. You focus on the basket. Your surroundings are a blur. Still three seconds to go, then two then one. You rise up and shoot the ball. And score.

CASH FLOW REFLECTS IMPROVED GROUP PROFITABILITY In 2010, net cash inflow from operating activities was € 894 million (2009: € 1.198 billion). The decrease in cash provided by operating activities compared to the prior year was primarily due to higher operating working capital requirements, partly offset onto by the improved Group profitability. Net cash outflow from investing activities was € 330 million (2009: € 162 million). This was mainly related to the spending for property, planted and equipment such as investments in the furnishing and fitting of stores in our Retail segment, in new buildings and in IT systems, as well as to the purchase of short-term financial assets. Net cash outflow from financing activities totalled € 238 million (2009: € 512 million).
