Amer Sports reported strong growth for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Revenue reached $1,945.5 million, up 32.1% from $1,472.5 million, driven by double‑digit increases across all segments and regions, especially DTC sales, which rose 44.6% to $1,001.5 million.
Net income increased to $170.1 million from $138.1 million, though net margin edged down to 8.5% from 9.1% due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses and a $50.5 million loss on debt extinguishment. Adjusted EBITDA grew to $432.4 million, with margin improving to 22.2%.
Technical Apparel revenue rose 33.3% to $885.0 million and Outdoor Performance 42.0% to $713.6 million, with segment adjusted operating margins expanding. Ball & Racquet Sports revenue grew 13.3% to $346.9 million, but its segment margin declined to 3.6%. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $683.7 million, supported by strong operating cash flow and $836.5 million of net share issuance proceeds, while all $800.0 million of 6.750% senior secured notes were redeemed.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to equity holders of the Company, plus net income attributable to non-controlling interests..."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
constant currency revenue financial
"Revenue on a constant currency basis increased 26.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026..."
Revenue reported after removing the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, so sales from overseas operations are measured using the same exchange rates as in a prior period. It matters to investors because it isolates a company's underlying sales performance from currency swings—like comparing two years using the same ruler—making it easier to see whether growth comes from business momentum or simply from favorable exchange-rate moves.
loss on debt extinguishment financial
"Loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $50.5 million..."
Loss on debt extinguishment is a one-time accounting charge a company records when it pays off, refinances, or otherwise cancels debt for more than the outstanding amount on its books — think of it like paying a penalty to break a loan early. Investors care because it reduces reported earnings in the period it’s recorded and uses cash, but it can also signal a strategic move to cut future interest costs or a sign of financial stress.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities financial
"The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility... collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”."
Senior secured credit facilities are loans or lines of credit that a company borrows where lenders have first claim on specified assets if the company cannot pay back its debts. Think of it like a mortgage on a house: the bank holds the deed (collateral) and gets paid before other creditors, which usually makes the loan cheaper for the borrower. Investors watch these arrangements because they affect a company’s cost of borrowing, financial risk, and how available assets are prioritized if the company faces financial trouble.
management-defined performance measures financial
"The Company currently reports various non-IFRS financial measures... that may meet the definition of a management-defined performance measure under IFRS 18..."
Omni-comp financial
"Omni-comp reflects revenue growth on a constant currency basis from owned retail stores that have been open for at least 13 full fiscal months..."

Overview
Amer Sports is a global group of iconic sports and outdoor brands, including Arc’teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Peak Performance, and Atomic. Our brands are known for their detailed craftsmanship, unwavering authenticity, and premium market positioning. As creators of exceptional apparel, footwear, and equipment, we pride ourselves on cutting-edge innovation, performance, and designs that allow elite athletes and everyday consumers to perform their best.
We operate our business through the following three reportable business segments, which reflect how we cluster our brands on the basis of similar consumer, product, marketing and operating factors:
•Technical Apparel. Technical Apparel includes outdoor apparel, footwear and accessories and consists of our Arc’teryx and Peak Performance brands.
•Outdoor Performance. Outdoor Performance includes outdoor apparel, footwear, accessories and winter sports equipment and consists of our Salomon, Atomic, and Armada brands.
•Ball & Racquet Sports. Ball & Racquet Sports includes sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories and consists of our Wilson, Louisville Slugger, DeMarini, EvoShield and ATEC brands, all of which we refer to as the Wilson Sporting Goods portfolio.
While Arc’teryx, Salomon and Wilson stand tall and lead our three segments, our other brands appropriately fit our sports-oriented portfolio. Peak Performance enhances our scale, competitive positioning and diversification across sports categories. Atomic and Armada give us a leading position in winter sports equipment, globally. Our baseball brands, which include Louisville Slugger, DeMarini, EvoShield, and ATEC, are market leaders in their respective category. Together, our brands enable us to lead and compete in various sports segments and drive the continued success of our portfolio.
For additional information about our three reportable business segments, see Note 3. “Segment Reporting,” to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Report on Form 6-K to which this discussion and analysis is included as Exhibit 99.1.
We generate revenue from the sale of our products through direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels:
•Direct-to-Consumer includes sales of our brands’ products through (i) owned e-commerce websites and (ii) owned retail stores, which include elevated brand stores that drive consumer engagement and factory outlet stores which serve as a liquidation channel for us.
•Wholesale includes sales of our brands’ products through general sporting goods retailers, specialty stores, independently-operated partner stores, distributors, retailer-owned and third-party e-commerce websites as well as revenue from certain licensing arrangements.
Seasonality
We experience some seasonal fluctuations in our revenue and operating results. Historically, we have realized a slightly higher portion of our revenue and earnings in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, primarily due to higher sales through our DTC channel compared to the rest of the year and a higher share of fall and winter collections in our Technical Apparel and Outdoor Performance segments. Our Ball & Racquet Sports segment is generally more consistent across fiscal quarters. Working capital requirements typically increase throughout our second and third fiscal quarters as inventory builds to support our peak shipping and selling period which typically occurs from August to December. Cash provided by operating activities is typically highest in our first fiscal quarter due to the significant inflows associated with our peak selling season. We believe our strategy to broaden our assortment within the softgoods categories across all our brands could lead to increasingly balanced revenue and results of operations throughout the fiscal year.
Foreign Currency Exposure
We report our consolidated financial results in U.S. dollars but have significant non-U.S. operations. A large portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars, in particular the euro, the Canadian dollar and Renminbi (“RMB”), and generally the applicable local currency is our functional currency in that locality. As a result, we face foreign currency exposure that impacts our profitability due to the translation of net income, assets and liabilities of our operations in numerous jurisdictions into U.S. dollars, including on our outstanding indebtedness and available credit facilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
Where possible, we manage foreign currency exposure through a variety of methods, including by financing each business unit in its functional currency and concentrating cash flows through centralized entities to limit the number of foreign currencies being utilized for purchases. Additionally, we enter into hedging arrangements to limit our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations for a significant portion of our cash flows, in particular with our most commonly used foreign currencies, including euros, Canadian dollars and RMB. Such hedging arrangements may include foreign exchange forward contracts and options as well as cross-currency swaps. The majority of our hedging arrangements are short-term and are usually rolled forward within the standard business cycle. Nonetheless, it is not practical for us to mitigate all of our foreign currency exposure, nor are we able to accurately predict the possible impact of future foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations, due to our constantly changing exposure to various foreign currencies, difficulty in predicting fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and the significant number of foreign currencies involved. As we continue to expand our global operations, our exposure to foreign currency risk could become more significant.

Constant Currency Revenue
As we are a global company, the comparability of our revenue reported in U.S. dollars is also affected by foreign-currency exchange rate fluctuations because the underlying currencies in which we transact change in value over time compared to the U.S. dollar. These rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on our reported results. As a result, in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, our revenue discussions often contain references to constant currency measures, which are calculated by translating the current period reported amounts using the actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior period, in place of the exchange rates in use during the current period. For a further discussion of how we utilize, and limitations of, this non-IFRS financial measure, see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to equity holders of the Company, plus net income attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax (expense)/benefit, foreign currency exchange (losses)/gains, net & other finance costs, interest expense, loss on debt extinguishment, and depreciation and amortization, less interest income, with adjustments to exclude 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA

Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to equity holders of the Company and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income margin and for a further discussion of how we utilize, and limitations of, these non-IFRS measures see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”
Adjusted Net Income attributable to equity holders of the Company
We define Adjusted Net Income attributable to equity holders as net income attributable to equity holders of the Company with adjustments to exclude depreciation and amortization on the purchase price allocation (“PPA”) fair value step up resulting from the acquisition and delisting of Amer Sports in 2019 (“the Acquisition”), 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 the related income tax expense on these adjustments and deferred tax expense or benefit arising from tax rate changes on PPA balances.
Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. For a reconciliation of Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders of the Company to net income attributable to equity holders of the Company and for a further discussion of how we utilize, and the limitations of, this non-IFRS measure see “Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”
Segment Adjusted Operating Profit and Segment Adjusted Operating Profit Margin
We define Segment Adjusted Operating Profit as income before tax for the segment with adjustments to exclude depreciation and amortization on PPA fair value step up resulting from the Acquisition, restructuring expenses, impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, expenses related to certain share-based payments, interest expense, foreign currency exchange (losses)/gains, net & other finance costs, net & other finance costs, loss on debt extinguishment, and interest income. Segment Adjusted Operating Profit is a measure of operating performance of our reportable segments and may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. We define Segment Adjusted Operating Profit Margin as Segment Adjusted Operating Profit divided by segment revenue.
Segment Adjusted Operating Profit is a performance metric utilized by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to allocate resources to and assess performance of the Company’s segments. See Note 3. “Segment Reporting,” to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in Exhibit 99.2 to the Report on Form 6-K to which this discussion and analysis is included as Exhibit 99.1.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $214.3 million, or 33.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

This increase was primarily due to higher personnel related expenses of $95.6 million, higher advertising, promotional, and sales expenses of $49.6 million, higher rent and facilities expenses of $27.4 million, and higher depreciation and amortization expenses of $27.0 million. The increases were primarily due to DTC investments and investments in Greater China and Asia Pacific, including higher retail personnel costs, advertising and promotion expenses, and store rent expense related to new store openings.

Foreign currency exchange (losses)/gains, net & other finance costs was a loss of $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a gain of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change was due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, specifically strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to our most commonly used foreign currencies.

Loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $50.5 million, due to the redemptions of all of the outstanding 6.750% senior secured notes (the “Notes”). No loss on debt extinguishment was incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Income tax expense increased by $11.0 million, or 18.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate was 29.3% and 30.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a more favorable mix of earnings across jurisdictions, with a higher proportion of income generated in lower-tax jurisdictions in the current period compared to the prior year. The benefit from higher utilization of foreign tax credits in the current period was partially offset by higher withholding taxes on cross border dividends, royalties, and service fees, which are recorded as a component of income tax expense.

Segment Results of Operations
Our management evaluates operating performance and makes investment and other decisions based on segment revenue and Segment Adjusted Operating Profit. Costs allocated to the Company's segments include certain centralized functions provided and administered by the Amer Sports Group, such as costs related to sourcing, warehousing, distribution and transportation, our global business services center and certain information technology ("IT") activities, based on appropriate metrics such as headcount, activity, usage or proportion of revenue.
Unallocated costs include costs related to supply chain management, general executive management, cybersecurity and group information technology, and other group functions such as finance, internal audit, tax, legal and human resources.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company revised its methodology for allocating certain expenses, primarily IT costs, not directly attributable to the operating performance of its reportable segments. This change is reflective of how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) analyzes the business, with these expenses now reported within the centralized corporate function. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. This change did not impact the consolidated statements of financial position, income and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, or cash flows.
The following tables set forth certain financial information for our reportable segments for the periods presented.

Technical Apparel revenue increased by 33.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by Arc'teryx volume growth within the DTC channel. DTC revenues increased by 40.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by volume growth in our existing retail stores and e-commerce platforms, and an expanded retail store network with a net increase of 77 owned retail stores, of which 46 owned retail stores in Korea were acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as part of an asset purchase agreement. Wholesale revenues increased 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by an increase in volumes. By geography, Technical Apparel revenue increased across all regions, primarily in Greater China, Americas, and Asia Pacific for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Segment Adjusted Operating Profit in our Technical Apparel segment increased by 47.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Segment adjusted operating profit margin was 26.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 23.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was driven by higher gross margins as a result of favorable region and channel mix and reduced usage of air freight. This increase was further driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, primarily related to personnel, advertising, and promotional expenses.

Ball & Racquet segment revenue increased by 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, which include constant currency revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income attributable to equity holders of the Company. We use constant currency revenue information to provide a framework to assess how our business segments performed excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful to investors as they provide useful information to understand our core financial and operating performance from period to period because they exclude certain material items relating to income tax expense, finance cost and depreciation and amortization which are not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance. Management believes Adjusted Net Income attributable to equity holders of the Company enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial and operating performance because it excludes certain material items relating to expenses or income on PPA fair value step up and impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets which are not reflective of our ongoing operations and underlying performance. In addition, management believes constant currency revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income attributable to equity holders of the Company are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the apparel, footwear, sports equipment, protective gear and accessories industries, which commonly disclose similar metrics.
However, there are limitations to the use of these non-IFRS financial measures as analytical tools and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Constant currency revenue is limited as a metric to review the Company’s financial results as it does not reflect impacts of foreign currency on revenue. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin include: excluding certain tax payments that may reduce cash available to us; not reflecting any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; not reflecting changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and not reflecting the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt. Some of the limitations of Adjusted Net Income include: excluding the impact of non-recurring or non-operational items such as expenses or income on PPA fair value step up, restructuring expenses, expenses related to transaction activities, and expenses related to certain legal proceedings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service, lease obligations and for general corporate purposes. Typically, the highest level of working capital has been reached in the third quarter when inventory and accounts receivable are at a peak during the fall and winter shopping season.
14
Historically, our main sources of liquidity have been cash flow from operating activities, shareholder loans, share issuances and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. See “Indebtedness” below.
The Company had $683.7 million and $422.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The $261.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, as compared to March 31, 2025, was primarily due to higher net cash flows from operating activities over the last twelve months.
Management believes the existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash flow from operations and credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our long-term capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including the rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts, new owned retail store openings and other growth initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new products, and overall economic conditions. Management also expects increased capital expenditures related to the upgrade of our global SAP enterprise resource planning system over the next several years, which the Company is in the process of implementing across each of our brands, and the expansion of our warehousing facilities. Our capital expenditures for 2025 were approximately $283.7 million, and our capital expenditures for 2026 are expected to be approximately $400.0 million.
To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to shareholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that may restrict our operations. We also regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile, and various financing alternatives for opportunities to enhance our capital structure. If market conditions are favorable, we may refinance our existing debt or issue additional securities. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on terms that are attractive to us or at all. The inability to raise capital may adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Operating Activities
Net cash flows from operating activities were $171.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $163.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $7.8 million was primarily driven by an increase in net income of $32.0 million, an increase in adjustments for non-cash and other items of $106.6 million, which includes a loss on debt extinguishment of $50.5 million, and an increase in cash flows from changes in accounts receivable of $32.4 million due to timing of collections. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in cash flows from changes in inventories of $52.9 million, a decrease in cash flows from changes in accounts payable and other liabilities of $54.2 million, and a decrease in cash flows from changes in prepaid expenses and other assets of $29.1 million, an increase in income taxes paid of $22.0 million, and an increase in interest paid of $3.6 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $89.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $69.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $20.1 million was primarily due to an increase in cash paid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment of $33.0 million, primarily due to the expansion of our owned retail stores and warehouses, offset by a decrease in cash paid for the acquisition of intangible assets of $14.9 million, largely related to higher outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for the implementation of a SAP ERP system.
15
Our capital expenditures (which we define herein to refer to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and the acquisition of intangible assets, as presented in our consolidated statement of cash flows) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, totaled $85.8 million and $67.7 million, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $47.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $27.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $19.9 million was primarily driven by an outflow of $843.1 million for the redemption of the Notes, an increase in payments for lease liabilities of $17.5 million due to an increase in owned retail store leases, and a decrease in cash received for exercise of share options of $7.0 million. This was partially offset by an increase in net cash inflows related to share issuance proceeds of $836.5 million, and an increase in proceeds from settlement of derivative contracts and balance sheet hedges of $10.9 million.
Indebtedness
6.750% Senior Secured Notes
On February 16, 2024, Amer Sports Company (the “Issuer”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, Wilmington Trust (London) Limited, as notes collateral agent, and the guarantors party thereto, pursuant to which the Issuer issued $800 million principal amount of the Notes. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes were to mature on February 16, 2031. Interest on the Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, beginning on September 1, 2024.
On February 6, 2026, the Company voluntarily redeemed $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.00% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The repayment was financed from existing cash resources of the Company.
In addition, on March 16, 2026, the Company voluntarily redeemed the remaining $720.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 105.65% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The repayment was financed by proceeds from the public offering completed on March 4, 2026.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and issuing banks, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, J.P. Morgan SE as swingline lender, and Wilmington Trust (London) Limited as collateral agent.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $710 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a seven-year $500 million U.S. dollar denominated term loan facility (the “USD Term Loan Facility”) and a seven-year €700 million Euro denominated term loan facility (the “EUR Term Loan Facility,” and together with the USD Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities,” which were terminated in 2024, and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).
Revolving Credit Facility
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are available in U.S. dollars or Euros and bear interest, at the Company’s option, (i) in the case of U.S. dollar borrowings, at either a term SOFR-based rate or a U.S. dollar base rate, and (ii) in the case of Euro borrowings, at EURIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin. The term SOFR-based rate and EURIBOR are subject to a floor of 0.00% per annum and the U.S. dollar base rate is subject to a floor of 1.00% per annum.
The Company is required to pay quarterly commitment fees on unutilized commitments of between 25 to 40 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears, and letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin for SOFR borrowings on the maximum amount available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit, as well as customary fronting and agency fees. The Company may voluntarily reduce unutilized commitments and repay outstanding borrowings at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to SOFR and EURIBOR loans.
As of March 31, 2026, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $710 million was available.
16
Collateral, Guarantees and Other Terms
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries organized in the United States, Austria, Canada, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Finland, France, Hong Kong and Sweden, subject to customary exceptions and agreed security principles for subsidiaries not organized in the United States or Canada, and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and certain hedging and cash management arrangements with lenders (or their affiliates) are secured by first-priority security interests in the collateral, subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; enter into agreements and other arrangements that include negative pledge clauses; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; merge, amalgamate or sell assets, including equity interests of subsidiaries; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with affiliates; and enter into amendments of or waivers under subordinated indebtedness. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00, increasing to 2.25:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 and to 2.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026, in each case subject to customary standstill and cure rights. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the borrowers thereunder may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities.
China Facilities
On August 4, 2025, Amer Sports (Shanghai) Trading Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a CNY 540 million facility with Standard Chartered Bank (China) Limited, (the “August 2025 China Facility”), which includes bonds and guarantees of up to CNY 540 million and, at the option of the Company, either a CNY 500 million unsecured working capital line of credit or CNY 500 million synthetic loan. Borrowings under the working capital line of credit bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the one-year China Loan Prime Rate adjusted by an agreed upon spread equivalent to 2.15% at the date of withdrawal on August 21, 2025. The line of credit expires in August 2026. As of March 31, 2026, $72.5 million (based on the CNY/USD exchange rate on March 31, 2026), the full amount of the line of credit under the August 2025 China Facility was outstanding and included in Other Borrowings on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position.
On October 20, 2025, Amer Sports (Shanghai) Trading Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a CNY 500 million facility with Bank of China Limited (the “November 2025 China Facility”), which bears interest at the one-year China Loan Prime Rate less 80 basis points, equivalent to 2.20% at the time of withdrawal on November 24, 2025.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. THE COMPANY
Background and description of the business
Amer Sports, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded on January 3, 2020 and is incorporated and domiciled in Grand Cayman, the Cayman Islands. The Company’s registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are also referred to as the “Group” or “Amer Sports”.
Amer Sports is a global group of sport and outdoor brands, including Arc’teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic, Peak Performance, and Armada. Amer Sports manufactures, markets and sells sports equipment, apparel, and footwear through wholesale and direct to consumer (“DTC”) channels globally. We have operations in 40 countries and our products are sold in over 100 countries, with North America, Europe, Greater China and Asia Pacific being the main market areas.
Seasonality
Although the Company operates in a number of sporting goods segments during all four seasons, its business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically, the fourth quarter of a financial year has been the strongest quarter for the Company in terms of both revenue and profitability, primarily due to higher sales through the Company’s DTC channel compared to the rest of the year and a higher share of fall and winter collections in the Company’s Technical Apparel and Outdoor Performance segments. The Ball & Racquet Sports segment is generally more consistent across fiscal quarters. Working capital requirements typically increase throughout the second and third fiscal quarters as inventory builds to support our peak shipping and selling period which typically occurs from August to December. Cash provided by operating activities is typically highest in the first fiscal quarter due to the significant inflows associated with the peak selling season.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and retrospective application is required. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
The new standard introduces new requirements such as to (i) present specified categories and defined subtotals within the statement of profit or loss, (ii) provide disclosures on certain non-IFRS financial measures meeting a new definition of management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”), and (iii) introduce new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
The Company currently reports various non-IFRS financial measures to its investors that may meet the definition of a management-defined performance measure under IFRS 18, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Net Income attributable to equity holders of the Company. MPMs under IFRS 18 require specific disclosures within a note to the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing measures that are currently being reported to determine whether or not they meet the definition of a MPM.
Standards issued and adopted
The Company has applied the following new or revised standards, amendments and interpretations that are required to be applied as of January 1, 2026, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company:
•Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments.
•Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards, Volume 11.
Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions
When preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company’s management makes judgments and estimates in applying the Company's accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Management continuously evaluates the judgments and estimates it uses.
There have been no material changes to the key estimates, assumptions and judgments from those disclosed in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
NOTE 3. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews results of operations to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Based on the current reporting structures, decision-making processes and considering the aggregation criteria in IFRS 8.12, Operating Segments, the Company identified three reportable segments: Technical Apparel, Outdoor Performance and Ball & Racquet Sports.
Amer Sports brands operate in the following key categories:
•Technical Apparel, which includes Arc’teryx and Peak Performance.
•Outdoor Performance, which includes the Salomon, Atomic, and Armada brands.
•Ball & Racquet Sports, which includes Wilson, Demarini, Louisville Slugger, EvoShield, and ATEC.
The Company measures each segment’s performance based on revenue and adjusted operating profit as these are the measures used by the CODM for assessing the performance of operating segments.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
In accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, income tax expense for interim financial statements is calculated on the basis of the average annual tax rate that is expected for the entire fiscal year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from management’s best estimate of the effective rate.
The effective tax rate was 29.3 % and 30.1 % for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a more favorable mix of earnings across jurisdictions, with a higher proportion of income generated in lower-tax jurisdictions in the current period compared to the prior year.
17
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The benefit from higher utilization of foreign tax credits in the current period was partially offset by higher withholding taxes on cross border dividends, royalties, and service fees, which are recorded as a component of income tax expense. The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of foreign tax credit carryforwards and the impact of changes in the geographic distribution of earnings on its overall tax position. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, a loss on debt extinguishment has been reflected in pre-tax income and incorporated into the estimated annual effective tax rate. The related tax treatment includes the application of interest deductibility limitations under Section 163(j), resulting in a portion of the interest expense being disallowed and carried forward for utilization in future periods.
NOTE 8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Impairment review
Impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as trademarks, are performed when management has identified indications of impairment or at least once a year when business plans for the next strategic planning horizon are approved by management.
Goodwill is monitored by management at the Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) level, the level at which it and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. The Company's CGUs are the following: Winter Sports Equipment, Salomon, Arc’teryx, Ball & Racquet Sports, and Peak Performance.
Management has considered whether any impairment indicators existed at the reporting date, and has concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are fully recoverable as of March 31, 2026.

(3)The values of the derivatives as per the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position have been recorded as they are disclosed in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position and fair value reserve, and therefore cannot be reconciled with their actual fair values.
Carrying amounts of current financial instruments carried at amortized cost are reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short-term nature.
Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The Company does not have any financial instruments included in Level 1.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (e.g. over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the reporting period.
The valuation process and valuation techniques, which are stated in the 2025 consolidated annual financial statements, are applicable in the reporting period.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
•for interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps – the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves;
•for foreign currency forwards – the present value of future cash flows based on the forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period; and
•for other financial instruments – discounted cash flow analysis.

All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in Level 2, except for unlisted equity securities, promissory notes and available-for-sale receivables, where the fair values have been determined based on present values and the discount rates used were adjusted for counterparty or own credit risk. In cases where credit risk of counterparty is low and maturity is short-term, the carrying amount of such instrument approximates its fair value.
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring Level 3 fair values for financial instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
| Type | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | ||||||
| Unlisted equity securities | Market comparison approach: fair value of unlisted equity securities is determined by reference to market multiples of comparable listed companies, adjusted by discount for lack of marketability. | (i) Sales growth factor (ii) Risk-adjusted discount rate | ||||||
| Promissory notes | The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments and low credit risk of counterparty. | The carrying amount approximates fair value for short-term promissory notes due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments and low credit risk of counterparty. | ||||||
