Our Share
24 THE GROUP
Our Share /// 2002 WAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL
YEAR FOR THE adidas-Salomon SHARE: AS IN 2001,
OUR SHARE WAS ONCE AGAIN THE TOP PERFORMER
IN THE DAX-30. IN ADDITION, THE TREND TOWARDS A
MORE INTERNATIONAL SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE
CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WITH FURTHER
IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR
INVESTOR RELATIONS ACTIVI-
TIES AND AN UNCHANGED
DIVIDEND PAYOUT RATIO
AT THE TOP END OF THE GROUP’S DIVIDEND POLICY,
WE PROVIDED ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OF OUR ONGOING
COMMITMENT TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS IN 2002.
TOP PERFORMER IN DAX-30 /// In 2002, stock markets
worldwide were characterized by significant share price
decreases. Within this very difficult environment, the
adidas-Salomon share also declined 2%, but neverthe-
less outperformed most of our competitors. Ending the
year at € 82.30, the adidas-Salomon share was the top
performer in the DAX-30, Germany’s premiere stock
index, which declined 44% in 2002. Outperforming the
index by 42 percentage points, this marked the first time
in the history of the index that one of its members was
the top performer for two consecutive years. In addition,
adidas-Salomon’s share price development also beat the
Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World
Textiles, Apparel and Luxury Goods index, which com-
prises the Group’s major competitors. This index lost
8% in the course of the year.
