Nike and adidas financial analysis and comparison
Matyáš, David ; Chylíková, Hana (advisor) ; Paško, Michal (referee)
In this thesis I describe the process of financial analysis and consequently I perform a comparison of two competitors whose reports are based on different accounting standards. Financial analysis is performed on data from consolidated financial statements and the analysis deals with possible gaps in reporting arising from the fact that Nike, Inc. uses U. S. GAAP, while adidas AG applies to IFRS. I conclude that in this particular case there is not significant divergence between data reported and analysis can be undertaken without material errors. Comparison itself shows that both companies are generally in a good financial condition, but with adidas falling behind quite considerably in a few indicators. As such I can mention assets turnover, operating margin, working capital and others.
