Apart from the Greater China region, Adidas's sales of discounted and clear goods accounted for a decrease in total sales.

The gross profit margin increased Adidas group's gross profit in the first half of this year to 2 billion 727 million euros, a 20% increase compared with 2 billion 269 million euros in the same period last year.
