Adidas expects higher earnings this year, despite the World Cup having boosted sales in 2010
Net profits for the quarter came in at 140m euros ($200m; £122m), up 11% from the same period last year.

Adidas is predicting record earnings for the full year, despite 2011 not being an Olympic or World Cup year.

It is now forecasting earnings per share of between 3.10 euros and 3.12 euros, having previously² said they could be as low as 2.98 per share.

The top of the range would represent a 15% increase from 2010's figure of 2.71 euros per share.

"High exposure to fast-growing emerging markets, the further expansion of retail³ as well as continued momentum⁴ at all key brands will more than offset⁵（抵消） the non-recurrence of sales related to the 2010 FIFA World Cup," the company said.

Sales were particularly strong in China, where they rose 41%, excluding currency effects.
