HELSINKI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amer Sports Inc. (NYSE: AS) (“Amer Sports” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2024.
CEO James Zheng commented, “The momentum behind our strong financial performance has continued through the first quarter of 2024, as we delivered sales and profitability above our guidance. Our transformation to a brand-direct business model four years ago continues to fuel profitable growth today, and our high-performance technical products are resonating with consumers globally. We are gaining share in the premium sports and outdoor market and are well positioned to deliver another great year in 2024.”
CFO Andrew Page added, “The fast growth of our high-margin Arc’teryx franchise is elevating the growth and profitability profile of Amer Sports. This dynamic allows us to deliver profitable growth for shareholders while continuing to reinvest in the many opportunities across our unique portfolio of brands.”
FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
Revenue increased 13% to $1.2 billion as compared to the first quarter of 2023 led by a 44% increase in the Technical Apparel segment. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 14%. Constant currency revenue is 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. Technical Apparel growth was driven by Arc’teryx, which is generating double-digit new store growth while also delivering exceptional omni-comp growth against difficult comparisons from the first quarter of 2023. The brand is generating broad-based growth across regions, led by Asia Pacific and the Americas, followed by Greater China and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”).
At the Amer Sports Group level, DTC expanded 41% with double-digit growth across all regions and wholesale revenues decreased 1% year over year. Regional growth was led by Greater China which increased 51% and the Asia Pacific region which rose by 34%. EMEA grew 1% and revenues were flat in the Americas, where growth in the Technical Apparel segment was offset by declines in the Ball & Racquet and Outdoor Performance segments.
On a reported basis, gross margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 54.0%. SG&A expense was $534 million, compared to $422 million for first quarter 2023. Operating profit for the first quarter 2024 was $109 million compared to $130 million for the first quarter 2023. Net finance cost was $94 million in the first quarter. Net income for the first quarter 2024 was $7 million compared to $19 million for the first quarter 2023. Diluted earnings per share was $0.01 for the first quarter 2024 compared to $0.05 for the first quarter 2023.
Adjusted gross profit margin rose 110 basis points to 54.3% compared to 53.2% for the first quarter 2023, primarily driven by favorable segment revenue mix shift towards Technical Apparel, which is the highest gross margin segment in the Group. Lower logistics costs also drove gross margin expansion, which were partially offset by higher raw material costs and higher product discounts as compared to prior year.
Adjusted SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues increased 420 basis points on slower sales growth and represented 43.7% of revenues for the first quarter 2024. Key areas of expense growth include variable costs related to the higher mix of DTC sales, as well as key investments to support growth, including IT infrastructure investments and new store openings.
Adjusted operating margin decreased 240 bps from 13.4% in the first quarter 2023 to 11.0% in the first quarter 2024, above previous guidance of 9.0–10.0%. Adjusted net finance cost was $76 million in the first quarter.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter 2024 was $39 million, or $0.08 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to adjusted net income of $27 million, or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis in the first quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate on adjusted pretax income was 25% in the first quarter.
Balance sheet. Year-over-year inventories were up 6%, below the 13% revenue growth for the quarter and in a healthy position. Net debt was $1.7 billion, and cash and equivalents totaled $337 million at quarter end.
SEGMENT RESULTS
Technical Apparel. In the first quarter 2024, revenue increased 44% year-over-year to $510 million, driven by growth in both channels, with DTC up 46%, including 36% omni-comp growth, and wholesale up 40%. On a constant currency basis, Technical Apparel revenue increased 48%. The overperformance was driven by Arc’teryx, which continues to experience strong brand momentum across all regions, channels, consumer segments, and product categories. DTC growth was driven by both store network expansion, with a net increase of 19 new owned retail stores, as well as strong volume growth in existing stores and e-commerce platforms. Technical Apparel wholesale revenues increased 40% driven primarily by higher volumes as compared to the prior year. Regionally, growth was led by Asia Pacific, followed by the Americas, Greater China, and EMEA. Technical Apparel segment adjusted operating profit margin contracted 40 basis points to 23.0% as compared to a very strong margin comparison in the first quarter of 2023. The contraction was primarily due to foreign currency exchange losses.
Outdoor Performance. Revenue increased 6% to $400 million driven by mid-teens growth in Salomon soft goods, which was led by Asia Pacific and Greater China. This growth was partially offset by Winter Sports Equipment, which was negatively impacted by warm weather and high inventory levels in the market. On a constant currency basis, Outdoor Performance revenue increased 6%. DTC continued to outperform the wholesale market with 42% growth, while wholesale was down 3%, negatively impacted by the challenging environment in the Americas. By geography, Outdoor Performance revenue increased in Greater China, Asia Pacific, and EMEA, which was offset by a decline in the Americas. Outdoor Performance segment adjusted operating profit margin contracted 340 basis points to 4.9% due to increased selling, general, and administrative expenses as a result of an increase in the share of DTC sales, which was partially offset by gross margin improvement from a beneficial channel and region mix.
Ball & Racquet Sports revenue decreased 14% to $273 million as Wilson continues to be constrained by challenges in its core market compared to strong growth and profitability last year when the flow of inventory improved and both retailers and consumers were buying early to avoid stockouts. On a constant currency basis, Ball & Racquet Sports revenue decreased 14%. Growth in Wilson Sportswear was more than offset by declines in the other categories. Ball & Racquet segment adjusted operating profit margin contracted 1,040 basis points compared to the first quarter 2023 to 4.0% in the first quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue. Additionally, gross margin was negatively impacted by increased discounts and unfavorable product mix.
OUTLOOK
CFO Andrew Page said, “Despite facing difficult comparisons for our wholesale businesses in Q1, we delivered results ahead of our expectations led by Arc’teryx, which gives us increased confidence in our full year guidance. The continued outperformance of our fastest growing and highest margin franchise allows us to deliver great business performance and strong returns for shareholders, while reinvesting in our key opportunities. As increased demand materializes, we are well positioned to service the elevated demand.”

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 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. 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. 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 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, share-based payments 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, 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 income (loss) 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 financial measure.
