EDITORIAL CELEBRATION 50TH ANNIVERSARY My father used to say that "knowledge is called luck" and there are people who believe that successful people, are successful because they are lucky, when actually success depends on ability, intelligence and foresight.

These qualities and many others, but especially these three, are what allowed Fructuoso Lopez to become a visionary in the world of business, and allow us still today to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of its inception.

I am convinced, and this is not just wifely devotion speaking, that Fortu has made history. Making history will have a different meaning for every person: for some it will mean changing the course of a country, for others, making a scientific discovery. For me, making history, is to create something out of nothing. And that is what Fortu has achieved. And the story which today is Joma is reflected in all the sportspeople who have trusted us for so many years, culminating with our sponsorship of the Olympic Committees in the Rio games.

But the history of Joma, as I said at the beginning, has also been embodied in our family, to the point that one is inseparable from the other. Therefore, I'd like to end with a quote from our son Juan Ignacio, the only one you can’t see but who is here with us. Juan Ignacio used to say: "What I would most like to be, is to be like my father".

And that pride that our son felt is also feel by everybody else. It is what I feel myself and the entire JOMA family, which includes, with no doubt, all the employees, partners and sportspeople who, at some time in their lives have decided to take a piece of our dream and carry it with them. Thank you very much for making this possible.

Marina Arellano, vice president of Joma

YOUR OPINIONS COUNT: “Joma are an example to be followed, I admire you and it is a pleasure to work with you, and, of course, I have a pair of your shoes and they really suit me”.

“Joma seems to have been part of the family (Espanyol) all our lives. Because of their campaigns, because of how they defend us on the social networks and on top of that, the T-shirts with names and numbers are awesomely priced”.

“You are growing... every day we recommend them more in consultations, outcomes and comfort are enhanced with every new model and we are increasingly more aware of their technical approach, with more research and design at the same time”.

“Today I have worn my new Carreras for the first time!

Impressive cushioning... I love them!”.

BUSINESS WE BECOME THE THIRD BRAND IN WORLD FOOTBALL Highlighting the brand’s impressive growth, now featuring 26 clubs in the 20 most important leagues in the world.

The Spanish company has climbed up one place among the sports brands with the greatest presence in the 20 most important leagues in the world. It now ranks as the third footballing brand worldwide according to a study by Jambo Sport Business.

This study is based on the Championships held during the 2016-17 season and involved a sample of 368 teams.

Nike takes first spot on the podium with 79 clubs, followed closely by Adidas with 74. In third position: Joma, the new challenger with a total of 26 clubs sponsored among the 20 leagues reviewed, gaining a market share greater than 7%.

The Spanish brand shows remarkable growth. It had 11 teams in the 2013-14 season, 17 in 2014-15 and 22 last season.

This study underscores brand presence in the 5 most important competitions (the English Premier League, the German Bundesliga, Spain’s La Liga, Italy’s Serie A and France’s Ligue 1), with Joma taking third place, defeating Puma once again.

In the 2014-15 season, it had 4 clubs in these leagues, 7 last season and in the current season, this has risen to 9 teams. A perfect example of the great success and the effective expansion strategy that the brand, Spain’s main brand, has been carrying out in recent years.

At European level, Joma has secured third position since it has twice as many teams than the fourth rated brand. Furthermore, future forecasts for Joma cannot be better because the Spanish brand will be signing up new teams ensuring that Joma continues to grow.

TSV HERRSCHING’S T-SHIRT CHOSEN AS THE BEST IN THE WORLD World of Volley has described Joma’s kit designed for the German club, as the most attractive among both male and female teams.

The prestigious volleyball website World of Volley has selected in December Joma’s kit designed for the German team TSV Herrsching, as the most attractive kit in the world.

World of Volley carried out its review among both male and female teams taking part in major international Volleyball Championships, from which 15 clubs were chosen as finalists, but the T-shirt designed by Joma for the German club was the winner.

A T-shirt that stands out for its design, given that it resembles traditional Bavarian costume.

This latest accolade is another milestone on Joma’s list of fanapproved, eye-catching T-shirt designs.

JOMA SEALS ITS AGREEMENT WITH THE SPANISH RUGBY FEDERATION The Spanish multinational will clothe all categories of the Spanish Rugby Federation sevens and Union over the next 5 years..

JOMA, by supporting Rugby, has linked its brand over the coming years to the Spanish Rugby Federation (FER). An agreement that has been sealed at the headquarters of the Spanish multinational and in the presence of Alfonso Feijoo García, President of the Spanish Rugby Federation, and the Creative Director of the Textile Division and International Clubs Sponsorship Manager, Alberto López.

This sponsorship agreement will last 5 years and will involve clothing all rugby categories, both male and female, forming part of FER, Rugby league sevens and Rugby Union. JOMA will clothe the Spanish Federation with match, training and promenade strips.

The Creative Director of the Textile Division and International Clubs Sponsorship Manager, Alberto López, explained that for JOMA it “is a very important step to support this sport, rugby, and especially to move into other sports and support them. This agreement is a turning point for JOMA especially given that the Federation will be competing in high-profile international tournaments such as the Women's Rugby World Cup”.

Meanwhile, Alfonso Feijoo García, President of the Spanish Rugby Federation, added that he feels “great satisfaction for signing up with JOMA, firstly because what JOMA represents for Spanish sport and secondly because it is a Spanish brand which is something all Spanish federations should be promoting”.

JOMA’S GROWTH LEADS TO THE OPENING OF NEW STORES Joma becomes one of the Top 5 sports brands with most stores in Spain.

Joma has now opened 19 stores in Spain and taken a giant leap in the past year becoming one of the top 5 brands with the most single-brand stores in Spain, placing it among the top five brands in the country according to the publication CMD Sport.

More than 150 people from the Provincial Federation of organisations supporting people with intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy in Toledo, MARSODETO, visited the headquarters of Joma Sport in Portillo de Toledo in November.

The company launched in 2016 a new strategic project consisting of opening new Brand Stores in Spain. This strategy also includes corners within multi-brand stores, and it already has floorspace in chain stores such as El Corte Inglés. This concept is very important for Joma since they constitute high visibility spaces.

The Brand Stores are the outcome of Joma Sport’s efforts to create exclusive spaces for marketing their products, where everything revolves around the brand and provides greater exclusivity, differential value for customers, enhancing the brand image.

Zaragoza, Barcelona, Salamanca, San Sebastián de los Reyes in Madrid, Talavera de la Reina, Puertollano, Cuenca and Guadalajara, are some of the stores that have opened in 2016 and they have managed to make Joma one of the top 5 sports stores in Spain.

The chairman and founder of the leading sportswear company in Spain, Fructuoso López, current sponsor of MARSODETO, showed off the company’s facilities in a specially organised tour revealing the work carried out in the textile and footwear departments, where all Joma’s products are designed as well as the logistics, marketing, customer service and foreign trade departments.

Likewise, he showed off one of the company’s key sections, the logistics centre and world store, where the new robotic system is based, formed by different machines, managing more than six million referrals.

Fructuoso López was accompanied during the tour by the President of MARSODETO, Carlos del Valle Soto.

RIO 2016 OLYMPIC GAMES

JOMA CLOTHED 10 PERCENT OF THE ATHLETES IN THE RIO OLYMPICS The Olympics are the biggest sporting event of the year. That is why Joma did not want to miss them and has become one of the sports brands with the greatest presence in Rio de Janeiro.

The Spanish company has sponsored a total of 10 Olympic Committees: Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Bulgaria, Moldavia, Morocco, Kyrgyzstan, Dominican Republic, Guatemala and Malta; and 18 different sports federations.

A total of 17,000 athletes have taken part in the games in Rio, and more than 1,600 have been clothed by Joma, representing 10% of the total. Joma has designed and produced more than 100,000 garments. A visibility and celebrity that are already having a positive impact on the company meaning that the brand is in one of the most important moments of its history.

Other Committees The sports brand has sponsored 10 Olympic Committees and 18 federations or sports: more than 1,600 athletes.

JOMA ASCENDS THE PODIUM 29 TIMES DURING THE RIO OLYMPIC GAMES The Olympic Committees sponsored by the Spanish brand win 29 medals.

The Rio de Janeiro Olympics have been a boost for Joma. Due to its sponsorship of 10 Olympic committees, the Spanish brand has ascended the podium 29 times: 7 golds, 8 silvers and 14 bronzes.

JOMA CLOTHES THE SPANISH TELEVISION (RTVE) NEWS TEAMS IN RIO 2016 Nearly 32 million viewers followed Rio 2016 on Spanish national TV (TVE).

One of the keys to Joma’s visibility in Spain during the Olympic Games in Rio 2016, has been the cooperation agreement reached between Spanish national broadcaster, Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) and Joma Sport to dress to all the professionals travelling to Rio de Janeiro. Thus, the entire RTVE team (cameras, editors, producers or journalists and presenters) have been clothed by Joma. An agreement meaning that Joma’s clothing has been seen in all the specials and broadcasts of the Olympics on all RTVE’s channels: La1, La2 and Teledeporte.

Exercise your freedom “Exercise your freedom” In September, we launched our new communication positioning.

And we did it big, for the first time we ran an advertisement on Spanish national TV. There are few brands that can advertise themselves on this medium which, today, has the greatest impact. Joma has been there, where it had to be. For a period of five weeks, we were on air with the largest campaign ever produced by the company in its 50 years of existence.

“Exercise your freedom” An aspirational and emotive message empathising with the public and making people think about the use we make of our freedom in those small, everyday moments, such as, for example, when we are buying running shoes.

What is initially an insignificant act, if studied closely, we perceive that quite frequently we are very influenced by many reasons and we just end up choosing the model that is in fashion rather than choosing the one best adapted to our status as a sportsperson.

With this campaign, we invite consumers to ask questions and

to act with freedom when choosing a product. Joma is positioned as the alternative for people who are well-informed, who know what suits them, who are not carried away by the latest trend or fashion and who want to exercise their freedom in this world where the media is so influential.

A new set up, a new way of addressing our audience. A new field of communication. In Joma we are convinced that exercising our freedom is the best thing we can exercise in our lives, that this is what will really take us far, helps us become what we want to be.

We launched a campaign with a one-minute spot on a new online platform (our own website, YouTube channel, online media, and social networks), with a cut down thirty-second TV version. In addition, we accompanied the campaign with ten second footwear product spots that could also be seen on TVs across the country. The campaign was translated and localised into more than 7 languages in many other countries.

COE Campaign The amazing power of the Olympic kit.

For the first time, Joma clothes the best athletes in Spain.

And it does so on the best possible stage, the Rio Olympic Games. A point of pride for the brand and also for all Spanish sport who at last can see its athletes dressed in clothing provided by a first-class national brand. In June, a big event was held at the Spanish Olympic Committee’s headquarters to present the new kit. A very special kit, very powerful, with the power to transform anyone wearing it. It is true that the Olympic tracksuit has the power that only certain uniforms possess. A firefighter uniform, for example, immediately makes us see someone who we think might be a kind of superman. Well then, that same happens with our kit, when an athlete puts on the official Spanish Olympic Committee tracksuit, they automatically become one of those chosen by the Gods of Olympus, worthy of taking part in the Olympic Games.

Joma introduced this campaign nationwide with a large investment focused on online media. A great campaign which was supported by the magnificent participation of the entire team forming part of the Spanish delegation of the Spanish Olympic Committee in Rio de Janeiro, thus assisting our brand’s, Joma’s, continuous growth.

We have re-launched the new 367 A mythical model of the 1980s.

Joma turns 50 and to celebrate we have re-launched our most mythical model of the 80s, the 367. 35 years later we have decided to re-create the same shoe that was presented for the first time at the Berlin Footwear Fair in 1981.

To present a shoe that is so 80s like this one, we have devised a campaign where everything is from that decade. From the printing press or the photographer, to the advertising creatives involved in designing the ad. A process that has been recorded in a ten-minute documentary entitled “The story of an advertisement”. It premiered at La Vía Láctea in Madrid, a place which has been open since the 80s and still retains the essence of that era.

It has not been easy, but eventually, Joma has succeeded. We created an advertisement that is as "80s" as the 367 themselves. And it is just as the advertising slogan says: "We have worked hard to change as little as possible".

“We have worked hard to change as little as possible”.

In addition, the news about the History of an advertisement campaign was published in media such as El País, La Criatura Creativa, We Love Advertising, Latin Spots o Territorio Creativo among others.

The Villarreal shirt which teaches you about Europe Learn about the cities that Villarreal will be visiting through Shazam.

This year Joma will be kitting out Villarreal CF, a club with a great fan base that always follows the team to see it play all over Europe. Sometimes just to watch the game and go back home, so they return home without knowing anything else but the final score.

But this year will be different, the club returns to Europe and to celebrate that fact, Joma has created the "Villarreal Shirt that tells you about Europe". The T-shirt that gives you a tour of Europe, the first T-shirt incorporating an audio guide providing fans with information about every nook and cranny of the city while they are waiting for the match to start. Because since Villarreal has returned to Europe, it was about time that its fans got to know it properly.

That is why we use Shazam, an app that apart from identifying music, also has visual recognition technology allowing it to identify images. For the first time this is being applied to a fabric, in this case Villarreal’s shield on the T-shirt. In this way, in order to hear the audio guide, fans just have to open Shazam activate the camera, scan the shield while they are travelling and allow themselves to be guided by the shirt.

As Villarreal visit new cities the audio guides will update themselves.

To broadcast the campaign, we launched a fun spot in which some very likeable fans explained how the shirt worked. On the other hand, on the media impact level, the idea was quite a success. Different blogs, websites, print media, and television channels covered the campaign and on the social networks it didn’t take long to go viral.

Furthermore, the first fans purchasing the new T-shirt were given an illustrated, poster-size original map. A piece showing once again how an entire continent could fit on a single T-shirt.

RCD Espanyol Campaign: Perico flies An original spot starring a blue and white budgerigar.

For further year, Joma has clothed Real Club Deportivo Espanyol, and therefore its fans, the marvellous minority. A nickname of which they are very proud, since they share the city of Barcelona with one of the biggest clubs in the world. And in those circumstances, following Espanyol has kudos.

For this reason, and taking advantage of the presentation of the new kit for the coming season, we have dedicated an original spot to them hammering home the concept we launched in last year's campaign Proud to dress like the wonderful minority.

The video was very successful online and some channels even broadcast part of it during prime time. The audio-visual starred a blue and white budgerigar, a bird which like the Espanyol fans also lives with being a minority, since the species’ dominant trait is green rather than blue. A bird that, like the Espanyol fans, just wants to fly.

C.D. Leganés Campaign: the shirt that tastes of glory Joma introduced active substances into the fabric of the shield so that rubbing it will cause it to release both aroma and taste.

This season is the first that C.D. Leganés plays in the First Division. That is why this season is different and tastes like something new, like victory, like glory.

Joma knew that better than anyone, so we launched the “Leganés shirt that tastes of glory”. Literally. An original campaign created to promote the launch of the team’s new kit.

And so it is that thanks to microencapsulation technology, we introduced active substances into the fabric of the shield so that rubbing it releases both aroma and taste.

Thus, whenever the Leganes fans kiss the shields, they would to find out what glory really tastes like.

And what does glory taste like? Glory tastes like freshly cut grass. Because that is where players will be fighting day after day and where they have managed to make the dream of playing in first division come true.

The first to test it was Martín Mantovani, Captain of Leganés and the star of the launch spot. He appeared in the main prime time TV sports news. Finally, it was a success for the team, but also a success for Joma.

INTERVIEW “I feel complete professional satisfaction when I see the best athletes in Spain wearing our kits”.

Fernando Martin has been working for Joma for over 6 years and has taken part in a wide range of projects relating to textile design, one of the most successful departments. The design of the kits for the Spanish Olympic Committee for the Olympic Games in Rio has been one of his most important professional experiences in 2016. a custom service like the one Joma provided to them in the Olympic village. We changed kit sizings there, provided them with all kinds of information and even assembled a workshop in the Olympic village to make the necessary adjustments to the parade dress for the opening of the games. We received congratulations every day, it was our own, particular gold medal.

“My next big project is Tokyo 2020”.

1. When did you start working for Joma?

I've been working for Joma since October 2010, so I have already shared more than six years of my professional life with Joma Sport.

2. What are the main projects in which you've taken part in Joma?

As a textile production technician for Joma, I am lucky to be part of all the company’s textile-related projects, from kits for prestigious sports clubs to sportswear collections and the annual kit collection. In addition, in 2015 we began designing the Spanish Olympic Committee collection as well as those for other Committees, one of the most rewarding experiences I've had since working for Joma.

3. For those who don’t know, tell us what you do for Joma.

My main job is to link the designs drawn up in the textile department with the manufacture of said items. It is a very time-consuming job and one which is more complicated than it seems.

I am responsible for keeping track of samples and carrying out all the necessary corrections to achieve an optimal finished product, which meets the quality standards demanded by a brand like Joma.

4. You've been involved in one of the most important projects undertaken by the company, the design of the collection for the Spanish Olympic Committee Athletes. What was that like?

When you start a project of this magnitude at the beginning everything is a bit chaotic, because we had to link designs, fabrics, colours to achieve a clothing set reflecting Joma’s quality and design, along with the character and personality of the Spanish athletes. After a year and a half of work, the entire team taking on this project feels very proud. You feel complete professional satisfaction when you see more than 700 athletes, the best in Spain, wearing your kits.

“We received congratulations every day, it was our own particular gold medal”.

5. During the Olympics you went to Rio to help the athletes and the Spanish delegation with their kits and parade dress. What comments were made to you and what feedback did you bring back to work?

In general, the vast majority of Spanish athletes and delegates gave us their trust and positive opinions.

One of the most frequently repeated comments is that they had never had

6. What did you feel seeing Joma designs worn by Spanish athletes, many of them genuine icons and idols?

It is the best reward you can ever have. To see so many athletes, not only Spanish athletes, because we also took part in the Olympics working for other committees, wearing designs that you've worked on and had high hopes for is a unique and unforgettable sensation.

7. What is your next big project for Joma?

I’m really looking forward to beginning work for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, where we will be working with various committees and will see Joma, once again, at the biggest sporting event in the world.

8. What most motivates you to work for this company?

The satisfaction of seeing my work reflected and worn by the best national and international athletes.
