GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT – FINANCIAL REVIEW
Group Business Performance Income Statement
NUMBER OF GROUP EMPLOYEES UP 3%
At the end of 2015, the Group employed 55,555 people. This represents an increase of 3% versus the prior
year level of 53,731. New hirings related to the Group’s global marketing and sales organisation aimed
at further strengthening key growth areas and categories were the main driver of this development.
On a full-time equivalent basis, the number of employees increased 3% to 47,435 at the end of 2015
(2014: 45,917).
EBITDA INCREASES 15%
The Group’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation as well as impairment losses/
reversal of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (EBITDA) increased
15% to € 1.475 billion in 2015 (2014: € 1.283 billion). Depreciation and amortisation expense for tangible
and intangible assets (excluding impairment losses/reversal of impairment losses) was up 10% to
338 million in 2015 (2014: € 309 million). This development is mainly due to an increase in property,
plant and equipment. In accordance with IFRS, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (goodwill and
trademarks) are tested annually and additionally when there are indications of potential impairment. In
this connection, impairment of intangible assets with unlimited useful lives was incurred in 2015.
GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT IN AN AMOUNTOF € 34 MILLION
The financial year 2015 was impacted by non-operational goodwill impairment losses totalling € 34 million
(2014: € 78 million), mainly related to the company’s Russia/CIS and Latin America cash-generating units.
The impairment losses in both years were non-cash in nature and do not affect the adidas Group’s liquidity.
