CEO of German sporting goods maker Adidas Herbert Hainer speaks during the company's annual shareholders meeting in the northern Bavarian town of Fuerth, May 7, 2009. The world's second-largest sporting goods maker Adidas will work on reducing its debt and strengthen its balance sheet to be able to pounce on to opportunities should they arise, its chief executive said. The group's financial leverage stood at 81.8 percent at the end of March, up from 72.9 percent in 2008, it said on Tuesday when it shocked investors with a 97 percent drop in first-quarter net income.
