Insights

Amer Sports' Q2 2024 results showcase impressive growth and profitability. Revenue increased 16% to $994 million, with Technical Apparel segment leading at 34% growth. Adjusted gross margin expanded 200 basis points to 55.8%, indicating strong pricing power and operational efficiency.

The company's raised full-year guidance, projecting 15-17% revenue growth and operating margin at the high-end of 10.5-11.0%, signals management's confidence in sustained momentum. With inventory growth (2%) well below revenue growth, Amer Sports demonstrates effective supply chain management, important in the current economic environment.

However, investors should note the increased SG&A expenses and the high effective tax rate guidance of 38% for 2024, which could pressure bottom-line growth.

Amer Sports' portfolio strategy is proving highly effective, particularly in the premium sports and outdoor markets. The standout performance of Arc'teryx, with 26% omni-comp growth, indicates strong brand appeal and successful omnichannel execution. This success, coupled with Salomon's double-digit growth in soft goods, particularly footwear, suggests Amer Sports is capitalizing on the growing athleisure and outdoor recreation trends.

The company's strong performance in Greater China is noteworthy, bucking the trend of many Western brands struggling in this market. This success could provide a significant growth runway, especially as China's consumer market rebounds. The return to growth for Wilson, with a strong product pipeline for H2 2024, also bodes well for diversified revenue streams.

However, the Ball & Racquet Sports segment's modest 1% growth and declining operating margin warrant monitoring, as it may indicate challenges in this category.

Other than with respect to revenue, Amer Sports only provides guidance on a non-IFRS basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures due to the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations without unreasonable efforts. The Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable reconciling items, which could have a potentially significant impact on its future IFRS financial results. The above outlook reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements, including as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below and in our filings with the SEC.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted SG&A expenses, adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss)/income, and adjusted diluted (loss)/income per share are financial measures that are not defined under IFRS Accounting Standards. Adjusted gross profit margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding amortization related to certain purchase price adjustments (PPA) in connection with the acquisition and delisting of Amer Sports in 2019 and restructuring expenses. Adjusted SG&A also excludes PPA amortization, as well as adjustments to exclude restructuring expenses, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, and certain share-based payments. Adjusted operating profit margin is calculated as adjusted operating profit divided by revenue. Adjusted operating profit is calculated as loss before tax with adjustments to exclude PPA amortization, restructuring expenses, impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, certain share-based payments, finance costs, and finance income. EBITDA is calculated as net (loss)/income attributable to equity holders of the Company, plus net income attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax expense, finance cost, loss on debt extinguishment, depreciation and amortization and minus finance income, from both continuing and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA with adjustments to exclude results from discontinued operations, restructuring expenses, impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings and certain share-based payments. Adjusted net (loss)/income is calculated as net (loss)/income attributable to equity holders with adjustments to exclude PPA amortization, loss from discontinued operations, restructuring expenses, impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, certain share-based payments, loss on debt extinguishment and related income tax expense. “Omni-comp” is defined as year over year revenue growth from owned retail stores and e-commerce sites that have been open at least 13 months.

The Company believes that these non IFRS measures, when taken together with its financial results presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net (loss)/income are helpful to investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of the business and evaluating operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Non-IFRS financial measures however are subject to inherent limitations, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to IFRS measures. The supplemental tables below provide reconciliations of each non-IFRS financial measure presented to its most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards financial measure.
