adidas<\/a> has just reported its Q1 2020 results, and surprisingly the German sportswear giant shared that it missed its profit expectations by 93% and had a 19% fall in sales due to the current COVID-19<\/a> pandemic.<\/p>\n According to Reuters<\/i><\/a>, adidas was expected to hit \u20ac263 million ($285.3 million), however it only pulled in \u20ac65 million ($70 million). “Our results for the 1st quarter speak to the serious challenges that the global outbreak of the coronavirus poses even for healthy companies,” chief executive Kasper Rorsted said in a statement. Additionally, adidas saw a decrease of 19% in sales, equating to $5.15 billion, which fell short of the $5.26 billion estimate.<\/p>\n Like many companies around the world, adidas was forced to shut down factories and stores to help flatten the curve. adidas shared that 60% of its businesses are currently at a standstill, with more than 70% of its stores closed worldwide.<\/p>\n For Q2, adidas expects another fall of 40% in its sales. “Both top- and bottom-line declines in the 2nd quarter of 2020 are currently expected to be more pronounced than those recorded in the 1st quarter,” adidas said, forecasting a slump in currency-adjusted sales of “more than 40%” and an operating loss.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the pandemic has geared more attention towards fitness and health. adidas has seen record sales of yoga mats and Adilettes in recent weeks, while its e-commerce sales have risen by 35%.<\/p>\n Make sure to keep on top of all the current COVID-19 news here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
