The Arc’Teryx and Salomon brands in particular contributed to the growth. In the Technical Apparel area, sales grew by 23 % to $ 509 million (EUR 468 million), outdoor performance increased by 35 % to $ 414 million (EUR 381 million). Ball & Racquet Sports, which includes Wilson, achieved an increase of 11 % to $ 314 million (EUR 289 million). The bottom line was that Amer Sports achieved a net profit of $ 18 million (EUR 16.6 million), after a loss of $ 4 million (EUR 3.7 million) in the previous year.
CEO James Zheng emphasized the width of the portfolio: “The strong momentum continues-from Salomon to Arc’teryx to our equipment brands. We are well positioned for further growth.”
There is a change in management: Wilson CEO Joe Dudy is leaving at the end of August. After 30 years in the company, he remains a consultant until March 2026. CFO Andrew Page takes over the management of the brand and also retains its function at Amer Sports.
In view of the strong first half of the year, Amer Sports raises expectations for 2025. The company now expects sales growth of 20 to 21 % and an operational margin between 11.8 and 12.2 %. The profit per share should be $ 0.77 to $ 0.82 (0.71 to 0.75 euros).
For the third quarter of 2025, Amer Sports assumes sales growth and an operational margin of 12 to 13 %. Despite the higher import duties in the USA, management sees the burden on the entire group as low.
