  "account": "Adidas has raised its profit forecast for the current year after achieving a record quarter. The Herzogenaurach-based company now expects an operating result of 2.5 billion euros, up 200 million euros from its previous forecast. The upgrade is partly due to the reimbursement of around 200 million euros in US import duties that a court ruled were inadmissible, and 100 million euros from selling goods with fewer discounts than expected. Adidas maintains its forecast of a 9-10% currency-adjusted sales growth, after a 9% rise in the third quarter to 7.25 billion euros.",
  "summary": "After the highest quarterly profit in its history, Adidas is raising its annual forecast. Refunded US tariffs and lower discounts are giving the sports goods group a boost.",
