Royalty and commission income decreases
In 2008, Reebok royalty and commission income decreased
29% to € 30 million from € 42 million in the prior year. The
decline was largely due to the non-recurrence of royalties
from distribution partners in Brazil /Paraguay and
Argentina.
The distribution partnerships in these countries were replaced
by own companies whose sales were consolidated for the
rst time in 2008. Reebok’s royalty and commission income
primarily relates to royalty income for fi tness equipment.
Net other operating expenses and income increase
Net other operating expenses and income as a percentage
of sales increased by 2.9 percentage points to 38.7% in 2008
versus 35.8% in 2007. Reebok’s revenue decline in 2008 could
not be offset by a corresponding reduction in costs. On an
a bsolute basis, Reebok’s net other operating expenses and
income decreased modestly to € 831 million in 2008 from
€ 835 million in the prior year.
Lower operating margin
In 2008, the operating margin of the Reebok segment
decreased by 5.0 percentage points to negative 0.3% from
positive 4.7% in the prior year. This development was below
Management’s initial expectation of an operating margin
increase. This was due to a lower gross margin and higher
net other operating expenses and income as a percentage
of sales. As a result, Reebok’s operating profi t decreased to
negative € 7 million in 2008 versus positive € 109 million in
the prior year.
