Business Performance

Economic and sector development

Global economy facing headwinds in first half of 20251

Having shown signs of stabilization going into the year, the global economy faced renewed headwinds in the first half of 2025. Uncertainty increased significantly and the outlook for economic activity deteriorated notably from April onwards, as tariff-related developments heightened concerns over global trade. In addition, several geopolitical conflicts emerged and continued around the world. These developments had pronounced knock-on effects on several macroeconomic variables, including exchange rates. Labor markets showed early signs of cooling, and wage growth moderated, particularly in the US and the euro area. Economic growth softened in many regions, with the US experiencing weaker investment and consumption and the euro area being affected by trade exposure and policy uncertainty. Although China's economy was partly supported by fiscal stimulus, its export momentum faded and domestic demand remained subdued. Globally, significant risks persist, including ongoing trade disputes, further escalations of geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and climate-related disasters.

Challenging environment for sporting goods industry in first six months of 2025

In the first half of 2025, the global sporting goods industry faced an environment shaped by rising macroeconomic pressures and unpredictable trade policy shifts. While inventory levels and promotional activity somewhat stabilized compared to the previous year, industry participants were challenged by the prevailing macroeconomic uncertainty. Fundamentally, the industry continued to benefit from lasting structural trends such as increasing sports participation rates, rising health and fitness awareness, and consumer preferences for high-quality and comfortable footwear and apparel. Against this background, the sporting goods industry is expected to remain structurally attractive in the medium and long term. Nevertheless, risks remain elevated in the near term and include unresolved trade disputes, potential declines in consumer demand, ongoing geopolitical instability, and supply chain disruptions.

Income Statement

Currency-neutral growth of 14% for the adidas brand in the first half of 2025

In the first half of 2025, currency-neutral revenues for the adidas brand increased 14%, reflecting its strong and ongoing momentum. Having completed the sale of the remaining Yeezy inventory at the end of last year, the company's results for the first half of 2025 do not include any Yeezy revenues (2024: around € 350 million). Including Yeezy sales in the prior year, currency-neutral revenues increased 10%. In euro terms, revenues were up 7% to € 12,105 million (2024: € 11,280 million), as currency developments led to an unfavorable translation impact.

The strong adidas brand momentum was also reflected in double-digit growth across all channels and markets, as well as for both footwear and apparel. From a category perspective, Lifestyle revenues for the adidas brand increased double digits during the first half of 2025, led by strong double-digit growth in both Originals and Sportswear. Fresh and relevant makeovers continued to fuel healthy demand for the popular Terrace and Retro Running footwear franchises, while the brand scaled its Low Profile offering around Taekwondo, Tokyo, and Japan in response to strong sell-out trends. In addition, adidas re-introduced its

iconic Superstar with local activations and incubated modern footwear silhouettes, including Goukana and Adistar Cushion. The strong momentum of Originals further expanded into apparel, with timeless classics such as Firebird scaling across channels. In Sportswear, adidas continued to successfully leverage its strong brand and product momentum into franchises tailored to commercial price points. Collaborations with partners such as Bad Bunny, Wales Bonner, Edison Chen, or Sporty & Rich continued to provide organic visibility of the brand's overall lifestyle offering. Performance revenues were up high single digits, driven by double-digit growth in Running, Training, and Performance Basketball. Growth in Running accelerated as adidas further strengthened its Adizero franchise, introducing the second generation of its record-breaking Adios Pro Evo, commercially launching the Adios Pro 4 and scaling the Evo SL. In Training, growth accelerated on the back of the success of Dropset and Rapidmove in footwear as well as Essentials and Power in apparel. Performance Basketball strongly benefited from continued success of the brand's signature models, including AE1 and Harden Vol. 9. Football managed to maintain the prior-year revenue level, which included the company's highly successful business related to last year's UEFA EURO and CONMEBOL Copa América tournaments. The F50 football boot remained a standout in terms of growth and awareness alongside the brand's growing football lifestyle offering. On the back of technical product innovation as well as retro-inspired collections, other categories, including Outdoor, Golf, Tennis, Specialist Sports, and Motorsport also contributed to broad-based growth.

The company's gross margin increased 0.9 percentage points to 51.9% (2024: 51.0%) during the first half of 2025. The year-over-year increase of the adidas brand gross margin was even stronger at 1.4 percentage points. The positive development was mainly driven by lower product and freight costs as well as reduced discounting, which more than offset unfavorable impacts from currencies and business mix. The first negative effects from increased tariffs also weighed on the gross margin development.

In the first six months of 2025, royalty and commission income increased 4% to € 37 million (2024: € 35 million), while other operating income amounted to € 2 million (2024: € 8 million).

Key financial highlights

Other operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, consist of marketing and point-of-sale as well as operating overhead expenses. In the first half of 2025, other operating expenses increased slightly by 1% to € 5,165 million (2024: € 5,115 million). As a percentage of sales, other operating expenses decreased 2.7 percentage points to 42.7% (2024: 45.4%). Marketing and point-of-sale expenses amounted to € 1,458 million (2024: € 1,363 million), an increase of 7% compared to the prior year. The company continued to invest in its global brand campaign 'You Got This' with a series of global and local chapters and initiated new partnerships such as the one with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team. In

addition, marketing investments comprised activations around major events, including the Super Bowl or the UEFA Women's EURO, as well as support for new product launches such as Evo SL in Running, the F50 'La Vida Tropical' pack in Football, and Superstar in Originals. As a percentage of sales, marketing and point-of-sale expenses were flat at 12.0% in the first half of 2025 (2024: 12.1%). Operating overhead expenses decreased slightly by 1% to € 3,707 million (2024: € 3,752 million) as the company continued to invest in strengthening its sales and distribution capabilities, while managing its overall cost base. As a percentage of sales, operating overhead expenses decreased 2.6 percentage points to 30.6% (2024: 33.3%).

In the first six months of 2025, adidas recorded an operating profit of € 1,156 million (2024: € 682 million), reflecting an operating margin increase of 3.5 percentage points to 9.6% (2024: 6.0%). Having completed the sale of the remaining Yeezy inventory at the end of last year, there was no Yeezy contribution to the company's operating profit in the first six months of 2025 (2024: around € 100 million).

In the first half of 2025, financial income was flat at € 43 million (2024: € 43 million), while financial expenses decreased by 29% to € 126 million (2024: € 177 million). Consequently, net financial expenses decreased to € 83 million compared to € 134 million in the first six months of 2024, mainly reflecting a normalization as negative effects related to cash repatriation lessened compared to the prior-year period. The company recorded income taxes of € 262 million, resulting in a tax rate of 24.4% (2024: 30.3%), which reflects a further normalization of profitability levels. As a result, the company posted net income from continuing operations of € 811 million (2024: € 382 million) in the first six months of 2025. Taking into consideration € 12 million of net income attributable to non-controlling interests (2024: € 16 million), both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were € 4.47 (2024: € 2.05). ►SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

In the first half of 2025, adidas' loss from discontinued operations net of tax amounted to € 1 million related to the Reebok divestiture (2024: € 7 million). The company's net income attributable to shareholders, which, in addition to the net income from continuing operations, considers the loss from discontinued operations as well as net income attributable to non-controlling interests, amounted to € 798 million (2024: € 360 million). Consequently, both basic and diluted EPS from continuing and discontinued operations were € 4.47 (2024: € 2.02).

The total number of shares outstanding remained unchanged at 178,549,084 in the first half of 2025. The average number of shares used in the calculation of EPS was also 178,549,084. ►SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Cash Flows

Changes in the statement of financial position are discussed in relation to the respective positions at the end of June 2024.

Assets

At the end of June 2025, total assets were down 1% to € 19,499 million compared to the prior year (2024: € 19,620 million), mainly driven by a decrease in non-current assets.

At the end of June 2025, total current assets were slightly higher at € 11,234 million compared to the prior year (2024: € 11,102 million). Cash and cash equivalents decreased 54% to € 768 million (2024: € 1,660 million), reflecting the increased dividend payout of € 357 million and operating working capital investments in the first half of 2025. Accounts receivable were up by 13% to € 3,132 million

(2024: € 2,771 million) and increased 20% currency-neutral, attributable to the double-digit growth in the company's wholesale business. Other current financial assets decreased 18% to € 761 million (2024: € 925 million), mainly due to the payments received for the earn-out component of the Reebok divestiture. In addition, the decrease is also related to lower credit card receivables. Inventories increased 16%, or 22% in currency-neutral terms, to € 5,261 million (2024: € 4,544 million). This development reflects the very low comparison base in the prior year, earlier product purchases, and the planned growth for the second half of the year. The vast majority of the inventory position is related to current or future seasons. Other current assets increased by 20% to € 1,164 million (2024: € 969 million), mainly due to an increase of prepayments related to promotional contracts and higher tax receivables.

Total non-current assets decreased by 3% to € 8,265 million at the end of June 2025 (2024: € 8,519 million), mainly due to the decrease in fixed assets by 5% to € 6,521 million (2024: € 6,829 million). Other non-current financial assets were down 22% to € 184 million (2024: € 235 million)2 . Other non-current assets increased by 70% to € 385 million (2024: € 227 million), mainly as a result of higher assets related to customs refund claims. Deferred tax assets were down 4% to € 1,175 million (2024: € 1,228 million).

Liabilities and equity

Total current liabilities increased 2% to € 8,961 million at the end of June 2025 (2024: € 8,765 million). Short-term borrowings were up 15% to € 705 million at the end of June 2025 (2024: € 615 million), mainly reflecting the shift of the eurobond in an amount of € 500 million from long-term to short-term borrowings due to its maturity in November 2025, as well as the generally higher financing needs. This development was mostly offset by the repayment of the eurobond in the amount of € 500 million in September 2024. Accounts payable increased 7% to € 2,742 million (2024: € 2,560 million) and grew 9% currency-neutral, reflecting an increase in sourcing volumes. Other current financial liabilities increased 162% to € 419 million (2024: € 160 million), mainly due to the fair value of financial instruments. Other current provisions were down 4% to € 1,226 million (2024: € 1,281 million), mainly due to lower other provisions, provisions for customs, and warranties and returns. This development was partially offset by an increase of provisions for personnel. Current accrued liabilities decreased 11% to € 2,252 million (2024: € 2,541 million). This development mainly reflects lower accruals for marketing costs, outstanding invoices and personnel, which were only partly offset by higher accruals for discounts.

2 Prior year adjusted due to a reclassification between Other non-current financial assets and Other non-current assets.

Total non-current liabilities decreased 9% to € 4,984 million at the end of June 2025 (2024: € 5,501 million). Long-term borrowings decreased 21% to € 1,907 million compared to the prior year (2024: € 2,422 million), mainly due to the reclassification of the eurobond of € 500 million to shortterm borrowings due to its maturity in November 2025. The non-current lease liability decreased 7% to € 2,295 million (2024: € 2,479 million), mainly due to reclassification to current lease liabilities, currency effects and termination of lease contracts, partly offset by new lease contracts. Other non-current provisions were up 33% to € 365 million (2024: € 274 million) as a result of higher other provisions, the reclassification of provisions related to customs from current to non-current and provisions for personnel.

Compared to the prior year, the total number of shares outstanding remained unchanged at 178,549,084 shares at the end of June 2025.

SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Shareholders' equity increased 4% to € 5,196 million at the end of June 2025 (2024: € 4,989 million), mainly reflecting the net income generated, partly offset by the dividend payout for the year 2024 as well as a decrease in hedging reserves and negative impacts from currency effects. Consequently, the company's equity ratio increased 1.2 percentage points to 26.6% from 25.4% at the end of June 2024.

Operating working capital increased 19% to € 5,651 million at the end of June 2025 (2024: € 4,756 million). On a currency-neutral basis, operating working capital was up 28%. The average operating working capital as a percentage of sales decreased 1.0 percentage points to 20.7% (2024: 21.7%).

SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Liquidity analysis

In the first half of 2025, net cash used from operating activities was € 916 million (2024: net cash generated of € 768 million), largely driven by operating working capital investments that more than offset the higher level of operating profit compared to the prior year. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to € 60 million (2024: € 74 million). The majority of investing activities in the first half of 2025 related to spending for property, plant, and equipment, such as investments into controlled space, as well as for other intangible assets, such as the development of software. Investing activities also included proceeds related to the divestiture of the Reebok business and the purchase of investments and other long-term assets. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to € 643 million (2024: € 489 million),

HALF YEAR REPORT 2025

mainly reflecting the increased dividend paid to shareholders for the year 2024 and the repayment of lease liabilities. This development was only partly offset by the change in short-term borrowings.

As a result of these developments, cash and cash equivalents decreased € 892 million from € 1,660 million at the end of June 2024 to € 768 million at the end of June 2025.

Adjusted net borrowings at June 30, 2025, amounted to € 5,042 million, representing an increase of € 291 million compared to adjusted net borrowings of € 4,751 million at the end of June 2024. This was mainly due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents and an increase in short-term borrowings. This development was only partly offset by the decrease in long-term borrowings and lease liabilities. The company's ratio of adjusted net borrowings over EBITDA was significantly reduced to 1.7 (2024: 2.7). ►SEE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Japan/South Korea

Sales for the adidas brand in Japan/South Korea increased 15% on a currency-neutral basis. The increase was driven by strong double-digit growth in Lifestyle, featuring double-digit increases in both Originals and Sportswear. Performance grew as Running and Performance Basketball increased strong double digits, alongside growth in Football. Including Yeezy sales in the prior year, currency-neutral revenues grew by 13%. In euro terms, sales increased 11% to € 729 million.

Gross margin in Japan/South Korea decreased 1.9 percentage points to 54.4%, mainly due to unfavorable currency effects. Operating expenses were up 12% to € 227 million, driven by increases in both operating overhead costs and marketing expenditure. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales increased 0.3 percentage points to 31.1%. Operating profit in Japan/South Korea remained stable at € 175 million. The operating margin decreased 2.3 percentage points to 24.1%.

Outlook3

Global economic growth to slow in 20254

Global GDP growth is now projected to decelerate to 2.3% in 2025, below previous expectations, as renewed headwinds weigh on the global economy and interrupt earlier signs of stabilization. Heightened concerns over global trade, driven by tariff-related uncertainties and escalating geopolitical tensions, are likely to keep economic activity subdued across regions. Volatility in exchange rates and signs of cooling labor markets may further dampen global trade and investment. Significant downside risks persist, including ongoing trade disputes, further geopolitical escalations, potential supply chain disruptions, and climate-related disasters. These factors could amplify economic uncertainty and pose challenges to global growth in the second half of the year.

Sporting goods industry to navigate complex environment in 2025

The global sporting goods industry is set to remain structurally well-positioned. Long-term trends, such as increasing sports participation, growing health and fitness awareness, and sustained consumer demand for high-quality, comfortable footwear and apparel, continue to support the sector's growth prospects. At the same time, the sporting goods industry is navigating a complex environment in 2025, shaped by rising macroeconomic pressures and persistent geopolitical uncertainty. While inventory levels and promotional activity have largely stabilized, unpredictable trade policy shifts, exchange rate volatility, and ongoing geopolitical tensions could potentially dampen consumer sentiment or otherwise pose challenges to the sector. Against this backdrop, companies' ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences and macroeconomic conditions will be crucial.

Risks and opportunities

Risks related to negative macroeconomic developments as well as uncertainties regarding the geopolitical situation could negatively impact the company's financial results. This includes uncertainty about the level of future tariffs on imports of the company's products into the US.

adidas continues to see major opportunities in the medium to long term related to consumer demand, brand heat, product offering, product innovation, and margin improvements. In the short term, upside potential is mainly related to successful product sell-through.

Given the company's strong risk-bearing capacity due to its current liquidity position and financial health, adidas does not foresee any material jeopardy to the viability of the company as a going concern. Management remains confident that the earnings strength forms a solid foundation for business development and provides the necessary resources to pursue future opportunities.

3 This Management Report contains forward-looking statements that reflect Management's current view with respect to the future development of adidas. The outlook is based on estimates that we have made on the basis of all the information available to us at the time of completion of this First Half Year Report. In addition, such forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties as described in the Risk and Opportunity Report of the adidas 2024 Annual Report which are beyond the control of the company. In case the underlying assumptions turn out to be incorrect or described risks or opportunities materialize, actual results and developments may materially deviate (negatively or positively) from those expressed by such statements. adidas does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Management Report beyond statutory disclosure obligations.

Full-year outlook confirmed reflecting uncertainty due to US tariffs and macroeconomic risks

External volatility and macroeconomic risks have been increasing significantly since adidas first issued its full-year outlook at the beginning of March. While the company confirms its outlook, the range of possible outcomes remains increased. The company continues to see upside potential based on the strong results for the first half of the year, continued brand momentum and the strong order book for the remainder of 2025. At the same time, the increased uncertainty around the possible direct and indirect impacts from higher US tariffs persists.

adidas expects to gain further market share and grow the company's currency-neutral sales at a high-singledigit rate in 2025. This reflects continued double-digit growth for the adidas brand. A significantly better, broader, and deeper product range combined with an increased focus on local consumer preferences as well as much improved retailer relationships will be the main drivers of the projected top-line increase. In addition, impactful marketing initiatives will further add to the company's brand momentum and fuel the expected top-line growth.

While adidas will continue to increase marketing and sales investments, operating overhead efficiencies will allow the company to leverage its strong top-line growth. In combination with continued gross margin expansion, this is expected to lead to further significant bottom-line improvements in 2025. As a result, the company still projects operating profit to increase to a level of between € 1.7 billion and € 1.8 billion in 2025.

Having completed the sale of the remaining Yeezy inventory in 2024, the company's outlook does not include any Yeezy revenues (2024: around € 650 million) or profits (2024: around € 200 million) in 2025.

adidas will continue to invest into its business and further growth. Consequently, average operating working capital as a percentage of sales is forecast to increase to a level of between 21% and 22% and capital expenditure to reach a level of around € 600 million in 2025.

Explanatory Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS) as at June 30, 2025

01 General

The interim consolidated financial statements of adidas AG and its subsidiaries (collectively 'adidas,' the 'Group,' or 'the company') for the first half year ending June 30, 2025, are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The company applied all International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee effective as at June 30, 2025, insofar as they have already been adopted into European law.

These interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting.' Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required for annual consolidated financial statements at financial year-end. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2024 annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies, as well as the recognition, measurement, and disclosure principles applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024, also apply to the interim consolidated financial statements for the first half year ending June 30, 2025.

The following amendments to an existing standard, which were issued by the IASB, endorsed by the EU, and are effective for financial years beginning on January 1, 2025, have been applied for the first time:

─ Amendments to IAS 21: Lack of Exchangeability.

These do not have any material impact on the interim consolidated financial statements of adidas AG. Further information can be found in the consolidated financial statements 2024.

New accounting standards and interpretations, as well as amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective in the EU or effective for financial years beginning after January 1, 2025, are not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation, or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

There were no significant changes in the scope of consolidation in the first half of 2025.

The interim consolidated financial statements and the interim Group management report were not audited in accordance with § 317 German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB) nor reviewed in accordance with § 115 section 5 German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG) by an auditor.

Costs that are incurred unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or deferred in the interim consolidated financial statements only if it would be also appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the financial year.

The results of operations for the first half year ending June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

HALF YEAR REPORT 2025

The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in euros (€) and, unless otherwise stated, all values are presented in millions of euros (€ in millions). Due to rounding principles, numbers presented may not sum up exactly to totals provided.

02 Revenue

The sales of the company in certain product categories are seasonal, and therefore, revenues and attributable earnings may vary within the financial year. Sales tend to be strongest in the first and third quarters of the financial year because these coincide with the launch of the spring/summer and fall/winter collections, respectively, but shifts in the share of sales and attributable earnings of particular product categories or in the regional composition may occur throughout the year.

A disaggregation of revenue into product categories is contained in these Notes. ►SEE NOTE 07

03 Shareholders' equity

During the period from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, the nominal capital of adidas AG remained unchanged. Consequently, on June 30, 2025, the nominal capital of adidas AG amounted to € 180,000,000 divided into 180,000,000 registered no-par-value shares.

On May 15, 2025, the Annual General Meeting of adidas AG approved the proposal of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board on the appropriation of retained earnings for the 2024 financial year. The dividend was paid on May 22, 2025, in the amount of € 2.00 per share. Based on the number of dividend-entitled shares at the time of the Annual General Meeting, this resulted in a dividend distribution of € 357,098,168.00.

On June 30, 2025, adidas AG held a total of 1,450,916 treasury shares, corresponding to a notional amount of € 1,450,916 in the nominal capital and consequently 0.81% of the nominal capital. In accordance with § 71b German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – AktG), the treasury shares held directly or indirectly do not confer any rights to the company.

05 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by adidas and held as treasury shares. If negative earnings per share are reported, according to IAS 33.41, no anti-dilutive effect may be taken into account.

06 Goodwill

In the light of the latest US tariff announcements in Q2 2025, facts and circumstances indicated that goodwill might be impaired. Due to this 'triggering event' and related reassessment of the business development, a goodwill impairment test was carried out at the respective level of cash-generating units as at June 30, 2025.

This was based on updated financial plans and estimates considering different scenarios reflecting potential expected impacts of future US tariffs. In the course of the goodwill impairment test, there was no need for goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2025.

However, primarily due to the currently unforeseeable ongoing regulatory developments in the US, these estimates and management judgements are subject to increased uncertainty. Future changes in expected cash flows and discount rates may lead to impairments of the reported goodwill in the future.

07 Segmental information

adidas operates predominantly in one industry segment – the design, distribution, and marketing of athletic and sports lifestyle products.

As at June 30, 2025, following the company's internal management reporting by markets and in accordance with the definition of IFRS 8 'Operating Segments', seven operating segments were identified: Europe, Emerging Markets, North America, Greater China, Latin America, Japan, and South Korea. Due to the small size of the two operating segments Japan and South Korea, they are not reportable segments and are therefore reported as 'all other segments' under the designation Japan/South Korea for external segment reporting.

Each market comprises all wholesale, retail, and e-commerce business activities relating to the distribution and sale of products of the adidas brand to retail customers and end consumers.

Other Businesses includes the business activities of the Y-3 label and other subordinated businesses that are not monitored separately by the chief operating decision-maker. Also, certain centralized corporate functions do not meet the definition of IFRS 8 for an operating segment. This includes, in particular, functions such as Global Brands and Global Sales (central brand and distribution management), central treasury, global sourcing, and other headquarter functions. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses relating to these corporate functions are presented in the reconciliations.

The chief operating decision-maker for adidas has been defined as the entire Executive Board of adidas AG.

Net sales represent revenue from contracts with customers. There are no intersegment sales between the segments. Accounting and valuation policies applied for reporting segmental information are the same as those used for adidas.

The results of the segments are defined as gross profit minus other operating expenses plus royalty and commission income and other operating income attributable to the segment or group of segments, however, without considering headquarter costs and central expenses for marketing.

Segmental assets include accounts receivable as well as inventories. Only these items are reported to the chief operating decision-maker on a regular basis.

Segmental liabilities only contain accounts payable from operating activities, as there are no other liability items reported regularly to the chief operating decision-maker.
