Adidas on Tuesday raised its full-year sales and profit guidance, citing better than expected performance in the third quarter and good brand momentum as it benefits from popularity of its three-striped Samba and Gazelle shoes.

The German sportswear brand raised its forecasts for the third time this year, saying it now expected currency-neutral revenues to increase by around 10% this year, having previously forecast a high single-digit rate.

Adidas also raised its profit forecast for the year to 1.2 billion euros ($1.31 billion) from 1 billion euros.

Over the third quarter, Adidas revenue grew 7% to 6.438 billion euros, slightly above analysts' estimates of 6.416 billion euros.

Revenues at Italian luxury group Salvatore Ferragamo fell by 7.2% at constant exchange rates in the third quarter of the year, hit by weak demand in Asia, the company said on Tuesday.

Revenues totaled 221 million euros ($241 million) in the period, below analyst expectations of 229 million euros, according to a consensus cited by analysts.

"The current context adds pressure on our top-line and profitability, therefore delaying the timing of the delivery of our financial objectives" Chief Executive Marco Gobbetti said in a statement.

The group foresees that the operating result for the full year will be at the lowest end of analysts' current estimates, it said in the statement.
