Executive Summary
Paul Fireman, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Reebok, spelled out the company's situation in his letter to the shareholders in the 1997 Annual Report. I am not going to spend a lot of time telling you what went up, down or sideways in 1997. Despite difficult market conditions, we improve our earning per share but fell short of our financial goals for the year. I'd like to talk with you about shifting consumer preferences. I'd like to share with you our multiple-brand strategy for achieving growth across a variety of market segments. Every ten years or so, consumers get bored with the status quo. People change, fashions change, sports trends change. Without much warning, a fundamental market shift occurs. Throughout the past decade basketball shoes and big-name sports stars have dominated the industry. Reebok has built a diversified portfolio of footwear, apparel, and lifestyle brands that we think will allow us to capitalize on the opportunity.
