ADR = American Depositroy Receipt.Only US companies (US Inc.s) can have stock traded on the US Stock exchanges. However, many non-us companies are attractive investments here and they would like to have the support from the US markets. (For a US customer to buy stock on a foreign exchange can be a bit complex, it requires currency valuation, less protections, hard to access info, etc.) Hence, an ADR is a financial instrument (secured through banks and major trading entities) that is made to exactly track the Stock price of the subject foreign co, albeit normally on a once daily basis (not all through the day). It is supported and priced with US funds. An investor here buys an ADR in lieu of the stock itself. Not all, (in fact most don't) foreign stock exchange Cos have ADRs. ADR = Alternative Dispute Resolution.Read more about it here: alternative-dispute-resolutionADR = European license for transporting goods.In Europe, ADR is the short form of "The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road," coming from the French abbreviation: Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par route, this is legislation that requires anyone transporting dangerous goods or substances, above prescribed minimum levels in any vehicle to hold a valid ADR license and be able to produce the license on demand. ADR = Filming technologyWhen an actor is doing a movie he or she might mumble during a scene and instead of redoing the scene the actor/actress can redo his or her lines using ADR.

ADR = Average Daily Rate

In the Hospitality Industry, the amount of money received by a lodging establishment divided by the number of nights of rooms available during the period. e.g. 5 room bed and breakfast rented rooms 1,000 nights during a year and had net (of taxes) room receipts of $200,000. The Average Daily Rate is computed by dividing the 200,000 by the room nights so the ADR would be $200
