Reebok Founded in 1895 First athletic shoe for woman #2 in US - #4 in Europe Strong sales growth from 2002-2004 Unique portfolio of long term league licenses  Creative marketing-driven culture
Industry Overview One of the most competitive industries. Over 75% of the industry controlled by branded items. Large players – supplier power and access to shelf space. Small players – anticipating a fashion trend. Private label a threat.
US Footwear Market
Expected Trend Expected growth rate ~9% Change from “Supply Push” to “Demand Pull” model. Blurring line between sport wear and active wear. Demand for “athleisure” shoes.
Acquisition Background Goal: increase share in the U.S. market + better compete with Nike Stock prices improved the day of announcement Reebok sales down in fourth quarter of 2005 Deal closed on January 2006 Price: $3.52 billion
SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Adidas is strong in Europe, Reebok is strong in US, & Asia Complementary licenses and contracts Reduced costs for retailers Reebok is extremely strong in Women’s wear Many overlapping products Two HQ’s that will be hard to integrate Two very strong, distinct corporate cultures
SWOT Analysis Opportunities Threats Leverage combined R&D strengths & budgets Bring Reebok’s women’s wear to Europe Reduce costs to retailers by larger distribution networks Ability for better reaction to global trends Competition between brands employees Cannibalization of sales Realization of revenue growth synergies Adidas may treat Reebok as a second tier brand

Combined Valuation w/o Synergies
Combined Valuation w/ Synergies
Actual Acquisition Statistics Adidas paid $3.527 billion for Reebok Adidas paid $59.00 per share for all of Reebok’s shares Adidas paid a 34.2% premium which was still accretive to the P/E ratio Based on our model Adidas could have paid between $53.91 &  $66.85
Integration Issues Management /Structure Changes New Brand CEO’s and Reebok CEO to Advisor Head Quarters to Remain Integration planning team comprised of employees from both Employee Care and Retention Mixed employee benefits HR resources to all employees Distribution Centers and Back Operations Combined many Distribution Centers and Back Operations Reebok switched from a “Bulk Pre-Order” system to “Pay-as-You-go” Consolidate Suppliers
Integration Issues Research & Development Combined to share both costs and technology Reduced employees and raised efficiencies Brand Imaging to Reebok as Premium Shoe New “Pay-as-You-go” system reduces retailer sales on Reebok Customize shoes through a website Increase Prices Reduce manufacturing of Classic Styles Geographies and Product Lines Increased international presence and product lines (i.e. shoes & apparel) Licenses, Events and Teams Very similar strategy for both brands but Adidas gets Reebok NBA contract
Post-Integration Results Management/Structure Changes Successful through speed, efficiency and cooperation Employee Care Handled as well as could be expected Distribution Centers Mixed Emotions in short term, spent money to become efficient Taking longer than anticipated R&D Successful at reaching companies goals on new products & efficiency
Post-Integration Results Brand Imaging Continue to face uphill battle and challenge Success is still possible in long term Geographies and Product Lines Expansion into new countries has partially offset loses in mature markets New product lines and strategies have produced mixed results Licenses, Events and Teams With little change no success or failure has been noticed
Did the merger work? “Our focus this year will be on getting Reebok back onto a growth track. It's going to take time, but we're moving in the right direction.” 	- Herbert Hainer, Adidas Chief Executive in 2007 Gross margins dropped 3.6% in 2007. Sales and order back log of Reebok declined.  The whole group still made money.
What went wrong? Misperception among Retail Partners about the future of Reebok’s brand strategy Questions about the German – American Corporate Culture. Underestimation of competition from Nike.
What’s happening now? In 2008, Adidas put in an extra $50 million to bring back Reebok on track. Started realizing some of the synergies in late 2008 but on a lower scale than estimated.
