05 » Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at banks, cash on hand and short-term deposits.

Short-term deposits are only shown as cash and cash equivalents if they are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.The credit risk of cash and cash equivalents measured at amortized cost is insignificant due to their short-term maturity, counterparties’ investment grade credit ratings and established exposure limits. Therefore, adidas does not recognize any credit impairment losses for these financial assets.
