As a general principle, it is regularly assessed whether there are any indications that right-of-use assets might be impaired. Irrespective of the existence of such indications, right-of-use assets in adidas’ own-retail stores are tested annually for impairment, whereby the recoverable amount, as part of determining the profitability of the adidas’ own-retail stores, is calculated using the ‘discounted cash flow method.’

Reversals of impairment losses/impairment losses for right-of-use assets recognized in the reported financial years mainly relate to the company’s own-retail activities, for which, contrary to expectations based in 2020, there will be a sufficient/insufficient future economic benefits. The income from reversal of impairments in 2021 amounts to € 25 million and is mainly related to EMEA with € 23 million.

In 2020, impairment losses where recognized for non-current assets (e.g., property, plant, and equipment, right-of use assets and intangible assets including goodwill) as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. They related to EMEA with € 31 million; North America with € 16 million; Greater China with € 18 million; and Asia-Pacific with € 2 million.

Income from sub-leasing of right-of-use assets recognized in the consolidated income statement in 2021 amount to € 2.7 million (2020: € 2.4 million).

Further information on total depreciation and amortization expenses, impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses is provided in these Notes. See Note 31
