Germany-based sports brand adidas has shared positive results for the third quarter (Q3) of the fiscal year 2021 (FY21), despite a ‘challenging’ supply and demand environment.
During the quarter, the company’s currency-neutral revenue grew by 3% to €5.75bn ($6.65bn), driven by double-digit growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), North America and Latin America.

Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted said: “Adidas performed well in an environment characterised by severe challenges on both the supply and demand side.
