We will respond through the appropriate legal channels and we expect a favorable outcome. "We are disappointed that CrossFit chose to escalate a disagreement between longtime partners in an unreasonable manner that damages Reebok’s reputation. "The allegations set forth in CrossFit’s complaint have no merit," says a Reebok spokesperson. The parties have already attempted to mediate the matter, and were unable to resolve their dispute. "All told, Reebok's deceptive and dishonest conduct has robbed CrossFit of the benefit of its bargain to the tune of at least $4.8 million in royalties and has tarnished what was once a golden opportunity for Reebok to revive its image and establish a long-term partnership with the highly valued CROSSFIT® brand," states the complaint. However, CrossFit admits that Reebok rectified the situation for the first three quarters of 2017, only to go back to its wholesale equivalent price model in October 2017 and apply it to all direct-to-consumer sales. CrossFit did not agree with said interpretation.ĬrossFit claims that Reebok eventually admitted that it was wrongfully making royalty payments at 50% of net sales, resulting in a payment shortfall of $1.65 million, but refused to make CrossFit whole. The dynamic between the companies worsened when CrossFit advised Reebok of claimed errors in Reebok's Q2 2016 royalty report that allegedly revolved around a claim that Reebok only had to pay 50% of net sales value for ecommerce sales. At that point-in-time, Reebok proposed an "Adidas group" method for calculating royalties, which included an increased royalty to the aforesaid wholesale pricing. Then, CrossFit opted to audit Reebok's books and records. The use of a lower wholesale equivalent price purportedly continued without CrossFit's consent through 2016. It claims that instead of paying out royalties per the agreed upon net sales calculation, Reebok began calculating royalties due based on a "wholesale equivalent price," which decreased royalties owed through certain sales channels by 50%. Things began to turn bad in 2013, according to CrossFit.
