| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 24 06:21PM -0600 "Calvin": >>>> 1 Head brand goods are primarily associated with which sport? >>> Tennis Dan Tilque: > I think we're seeing an Australian bias, here. Ah, good point. > Australia doesn't even have a ski resort, as far as I know... It does, actually. I don't ski, but I rode this train in the summer of 1988-89: http://www.perisher.com.au/plan-your-trip/new-to-perisher/skitube Here's the company's annual report from 2014 (they don't seem to have put the later years online): http://www.head.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Corporate/Head_-_Annual_Report_2014_bw.pdf Acccrding to the "Income statement" on page 6 (PDF page 10), their revenues from their various divisions in 2014 were: Winter Sports EUR 164.7 million Racquet Sports EUR 149.5 million Diving EUR 57.1 million Sportswear EUR 6.8 million Licensing EUR 7.2 million This would seem pretty strong evidence that skiing should be an acceptable answer, though since the data is over 2 years old, maybe tennis should be given the benefit of the doubt and still accepted also. To really settle the question it would be better if they reported what share of its market this represents for each division, but as far as I can see they don't. Market share only comes up in a few places in the report and only once with a number attached. That's on page 12 (PDF page 16), where it says that in 2014 in the US they reached a "historical peak" of 63% of the market for tennis balls in units (i.e. counting the number of balls sold, not their monetary value). Hope this helps. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "I can be gullible about these kinds of things. msb@vex.net | Or so people tell me, and I believe them." My text in this article is in the public domain. |
