As at December 31, 2021, the loss allowance for not credit-impaired accounts receivable in the amount of € 230 million and credit-impaired accounts receivable in the amount of € 0.4 million was not recognized as adidas holds credit enhancement instruments, mainly in the form of credit insurance and bank guarantees, which mitigate the credit risk of those financial assets. Compared to December 31, 2020, the loss allowance decreased as the previous year was impacted by the effects of the global coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a positive development in the age structure of accounts receivable compared to the previous year.

There are no material balances of accounts receivable written off but subject to enforcement activity.
