Is There More to Reebok's Woes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

The goodwill impairment loss, due to Reebok,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], amounted to $334 million. The previous year results have been restated because of irregularities discovered at Reebok India Co.
Number two in sales of sporting good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Adidas has also dropped the plan of selling its hockey business since the offers weren't good. The footwear retailer did not do well in most of the geographic regions. The only place where the company seems to be doing well is China. The company has more than 7000 outlets there and plans to expand it further. The reason could be that the consumers want to break from the monotony of Nike's products. It also means that the consumers are demanding variations from a different retailer and the demand hasn't slowed down. A few innovations can help Adidas gain greater momentum.
Taking a deeper look will help us understand that Reebok is shutting stores in India. Adidas' Reebok outlets are providing huge discounts on existing inventory and are eventually closing down. The existing stores haven't got fresh supplies in the last 5 months. Till date,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a total of 200 stores have already been closed in India. This has fueled speculation that it may be the end of the road for Reebok in India. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the management does not intend to scale down operations in India and wants to keep the brand active.
Despite various problems,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the management of Adidas announced a 35% increase in dividend and stuck to a viewpoint of earnings improvement for 2013. The company has to bring a something new to the table to gain consumers' attention. But the question is "Can they take risk?" From an investor point of view the company has a number of internal problems to deal with before getting things straight. A little time should be provided to let the company's restructuring to settle down and for rebranding of Reebok. As of now there are better stocks to invest in the footwear industry.
