Amer Sports, the owner of premium brands including Arc’teryx, Salomon, and Wilson, has delivered a strong third quarter for FY25. 

Q3 revenue jumped 30 per cent to $1.76 billion, with growth across all segments. Technical apparel, led by Arc’teryx, rose 31 per cent, outdoor performance brands, including Salomon, climbed 36 per cent, and ball and racquet sports, led by Wilson, increased 16 per cent. 

Profitability also improved, with adjusted operating profit surging 41 per cent to $275 million and adjusted net income reaching $185 million. 

All four regions delivered double-digit revenue growth, with Greater China up 47 per cent, and momentum continuing into the fourth quarter.

Amer Sports’ retail footprint continues to expand, with 631 owned stores globally at the end of the period, up from 453 a year ago. Technical apparel accounted for 275 of these stores, outdoor performance brands 285, and ball and racquet sports 71.

“Amer Sports’ strong momentum continued in the third quarter, as our unique portfolio of premium technical brands continues to create white space and take share in sports and outdoor markets around the world,” said CEO James Zheng. 

“All three segments performed extremely well, led by exceptional Salomon footwear growth, an Arc’teryx omni-comp reacceleration, and solid growth from Wilson Tennis 360 and our Winter Sports Equipment franchises.” 

CFO Andrew Page highlighted the strong performance of Amer Sports’ portfolio, noting that Salomon footwear is providing “a strong second leg of profitable growth” to  Arc’teryx’s “already exceptional trajectory”, boosting the company’s financial profile and long-term value potential.

“All three operating segments delivered both sales and margin ahead of our expectations in the third quarter,” he added. 

Looking ahead, Page said Amer Sports expects 2026 group revenue growth toward the high end of its long-term target of low-double-digit to mid-teens annual growth.
