TaylorMade-adidas Golf
This unit of Adidas consists of Taylor Made clubs and balls, Adidas golf footwear and apparel, and Maxfli balls
In 2005, Adidas acquired Reebok for $3.8 billion. The acquisition included the Greg Norman Collection (GNC)apparel business which was incorporated into the TaylorMade-adidas Golf division. In November of 2006, Adidas then sold GNC to MacGregor Golf. Bottom line, the revenue numbers for the unit are skewed by the addition of this revenue and then subsequent loss of it.
Adidas also doesn't release quarterly numbers. They issue year-to-date updates.
