    In 2024, fixed assets decreased by a total of 1.2% to € 1,629.1 million. This reduction is largely attributable to the sale of ERP software to affiliated companies in the amount of € 35.9 million. In contrast, there were further investments in IT and financial assets.

    The 15.4% increase in inventories in current assets to € 98.9 million is mainly due to a larger inventory of Teamsport apparel to allow us to fulfil re-orders by customers more quickly. Receivables and other assets increased by a total of 25.1% compared with the previous year to € 851.9 million. In particular, increased receivables from the financing of affiliated companies contributed to this development. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 70.3% to € 49.2 million compared to the previous year, mainly due to cash outflow from financing activities.

    On the equity and liabilities side, equity fell by 2.2% to € 905.6 million in 2024. In combination with the increase in total assets due to higher liabilities, this led to a decline in the equity ratio to 34.2% as at the balance sheet date of 31 December 2024 (previous year: 35.5%).

    Provisions decreased by 11.1% compared to the previous year to € 110.0 million. This development was mainly due to lower provisions for outstanding invoices and personnel costs. Liabilities increased from € 1,555.0 million in the previous year to € 1,632.1 million as of 31 December 2024. This increase was mainly the result of increased liabilities to affiliated companies and the corresponding decreased liabilities to banks due to the repayment of a promissory note loan.
