Overview

Amer Sports is a global group of iconic sports and outdoor brands, including Arc’teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic and Peak Performance. Our brands are known for their detailed craftsmanship, unwavering authenticity, premium market positioning and compelling market shares in their categories. Our brands are creators of exceptional apparel, footwear, equipment, protective gear and accessories that we believe give our consumers the confidence and comfort to excel.

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. On May 1, 2024, the Company sold ENVE, which was part of the Outdoor Performance segment. The ENVE business represented less than 1% of the Company’s net revenue and was not considered material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

•Ball & Racquet Sports. Ball & Racquet Sports includes sports equipment, apparel 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 consolidated 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 soft goods 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. We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates as the financial results and the financial condition of our businesses outside of the U.S. are translated from local currencies (in particular the euro, Canadian dollar and Renminbi (“RMB”)) into U.S. Dollars. Given the strength of the U.S. dollar against our key foreign currencies, including the euro, the Canadian dollar and RMB, translation into U.S. dollars, for the periods presented results in lower profitability due to foreign currency exposure. In the future, if the U.S. dollar continues to be strong against our local currencies, we will continue to see lower profitability due to foreign currency exposure; however, if the U.S. dollar were to weaken against the euro, Canadian dollar or RMB, it could result in increased profitability.

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, interest rate swaps, interest rate options and 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.

Public Company Costs

Since the completion of our IPO, we have begun, and will continue, to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. In particular, our accounting, legal and personnel-related expenses and insurance costs have begun, and will continue, to increase as we establish more comprehensive compliance and governance functions, establish, maintain and review internal controls over financial reporting, and prepare and distribute periodic reports in accordance with SEC rules. Our financial statements reflect the impact of these expenses to date.

Key Financial Metrics

The following table summarizes certain key financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Management regularly reviews a number of metrics, including the following key financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. Management believes the non-IFRS financial measures presented below are useful in evaluating our performance, in addition to our financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. See “Results of Operations” for additional information and for the comparison discussion between the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for additional information on the non-IFRS financial measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS financial measures.

(2)This is a non-IFRS financial measure. For more information regarding our use of this measure and its usefulness to investors, as well as a reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS financial measure, see “—Non-IFRS Financial Measures” below.

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 Accounting Standards, 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.”

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA as net (loss)/income attributable to equity holders of the Company, plus net income attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax (benefit)/expense, finance cost, loss on debt extinguishment, depreciation and amortization (“D&A”) and minus finance income, from both continuing and discontinued operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. For a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income 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

We define Adjusted Net Income as net (loss)/income attributable to equity holders of the Company, with adjustments to exclude certain purchase price adjustments (“PPA”), which includes amortization and depreciation on the fair value adjustments of intangible and tangible assets resulting from Amer Sports' acquisition in 2019, 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. Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to net income and for a further discussion of how we utilize, and limitations of, this non-IFRS measure see “—Non-IFRS Financial Measures.”

Segment Adjusted Operating Profit

We define Segment Adjusted Operating Profit as profit/(loss) before tax for the segment plus finance cost and loss on debt extinguishment, and minus finance income with adjustments for PPA, restructuring expenses, impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, and expenses related to certain share-based payments. 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. 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 consolidated 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.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $137.0 million, or 16.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $269.6 million, or 14.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was driven by an increase in sales volume from the Technical Apparel segment. Channel revenues were driven by DTC, which increased 40.0% and 40.3%, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year. Regional growth was led by Greater China and Asia Pacific, which increased 53.8% and 44.5%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 52.3% and 38.9%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year. EMEA increased by 0.6% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to June 30, 2023.

Revenue on a constant currency basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 18.3% and 16.0%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of Goods Sold


	Three months ended June 30,				Change				Six months ended June 30,				Change
($ in millions)	2024		2023		$		%		2024		2023		$		%
Cost of goods sold	$	(442.5)	$	(400.2)	$	(42.3)	10.6	%	$	(986.9)	$	(895.6)	$	(91.3)	10.2	%

Cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 10.6% and 10.2% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase for both periods was due to an increase in consumer demand, partially offset by higher inventory reserves.

Gross Profit


	Three months ended June 30,				Change				Six months ended June 30,				Change
($ in millions)	2024		2023		$		%		2024		2023		$		%
Gross profit	$	551.3	$	456.6	$	94.7	20.7	%	$	1,189.8	$	1,011.5	$	178.3	17.6	%

Gross profit for three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 20.7% and 17.6% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Gross margin was 55.5% and 53.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 54.7% and 53.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These increases were primarily driven by favorable segment revenue mix, due to a higher proportion of Technical Apparel revenues, which have the highest gross margins, lower logistics costs, and a favorable geographic and channel mix. Additionally, the gross margin increase for for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was partially offset by increased inventory reserves and unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


	Three months ended June 30,				Change				Six months ended June 30,				Change
($ in millions)	2024		2023		$		%		2024		2023		$		%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	(560.2)	$	(445.3)	$	(114.9)	25.8	%	$	(1,094.4)	$	(867.7)	$	(226.7)	26.1	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 25.8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenues, Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 56.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 52.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 26.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenues, Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 50.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 45.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

These increases were due to higher selling and marketing costs of $63.9 million $142.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as well as higher administrative and other expenses of $51.0 million and $84.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses for both periods was primarily due to DTC investments and investments in Greater China and APAC, including higher retail personnel costs, advertising and promotion expenses, store rent expense, and new store openings. In e-commerce, there was an increase in online and offline marketing expenses and additional operating costs of e-commerce systems. Administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher personnel costs as a result of increased headcount, and share-based payment compensation. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, also increased due to transaction costs in connection with the IPO.

Finance Cost


	Three months ended June 30,				Change				Six months ended June 30,				Change
($ in millions)	2024		2023		$		%		2024		2023		$		%
Finance cost	$	(47.7)	$	(101.1)	$	(53.4)	52.8	%	$	(130.0)	$	(187.2)	$	(57.2)	30.6	%

Finance cost for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by 52.8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Finance cost for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by 30.6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to June 30, 2023, was due to lower outstanding debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which resulted in a decrease of interest expense of $55.0 million and $70.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Additionally, the decrease in finance cost for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was partially offset by an increase in exchange rate losses of $13.1 million.

Loss on debt extinguishment


	Three months ended June 30,				Change				Six months ended June 30,				Change
($ in millions)	2024		2023		$		%		2024		2023		$		%
Loss on debt extinguishment	$	-	$	-	$	-	—	%	$	(14.3)	$	-	$	(14.3)	—	%

Loss on debt extinguishment was nil for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023. Loss on debt extinguishment was $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the repayment of the Senior Facilities Agreement on February 16, 2024.

Income Tax Benefit/(Expense)


	Three months ended June 30,				Change			Six months ended June 30,				Change
($ in millions)	2024		2023		$		%	2024		2023		$		%
Income tax benefit/(expense)	$	51.9	$	(5.2)	$	57.1	NM	$	43.7	$	(31.9)	$	75.6	NM

Income tax benefit was $51.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to expense of $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was 97% and (6)% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Income tax benefit was $43.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to expense of $31.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was 113% and (69)% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The three and six months ended June 30, 2024, included a discrete tax benefit of $19.9 million due to the reversal of uncertain tax positions as a result of the closure of tax audits and expiration of statute of limitations, which was partially offset by an unfavorable return to provision adjustment of $11.8 million. The effective tax rate of (6)% and (69)% for the the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was due to high non-deductible interest expenses.

Technical Apparel revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 34.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Technical Apparel revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 39% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase for both periods was primarily driven by growth by Arc’teryx within the DTC channel. DTC revenues increased by 39.3% and 42.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. 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 26 owned retail stores. Revenues from our wholesale channel increased 23.8% and 32.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, driven by an increase in volumes as compared to the prior year. Regionally, growth was led by Asia Pacific, followed by Greater China, and the Americas, which was partially offset by declines in EMEA for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to prior year. All regions increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, led by Asia Pacific and Greater China.

Technical Apparel revenue on a constant currency basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 38.4% and 43.4%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Segment Adjusted Operating Profit in our Technical Apparel segment increased by 46.0% and 42.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. This was primarily driven by revenue growth. Segment adjusted operating profit margin was 14.2% and 19.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 13.1% and 18.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was driven by higher gross margins as a result of favorable channel and geographic mix and lower selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was driven by the increase in other operating income due to an increase of government subsidies in Greater China.

(2)Omni-comp reflects year over year revenue growth from owned retail stores and e-commerce sites that have been open at least 13 months.

Outdoor Performance revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 11.1% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Outdoor Performance revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 8.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increases in both periods was primarily driven by Salomon growth in footwear. DTC revenues increased by 54.5% and 48.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to an expanded retail store network with a net increase of 49 owned retail stores and an increase of online traffic to our owned e-commerce websites. Revenues from our wholesale channel decreased 5.4% and 3.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to lower unit sales based on the timing of customer orders compared to the prior year for our winter sports equipment brands, which was partially offset by higher unit sales for Salomon based on the timing of customer orders compared to the prior year. By geography, Outdoor Performance revenue increased in Greater China, Asia Pacific, and EMEA, which was offset by a decline in the Americas for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to prior year.

Outdoor Performance revenue on a constant currency basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 13.3% and 9.3%, respectively compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Segment Adjusted Operating Profit in our Outdoor Performance segment increased by 59.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily driven by revenue growth,

which was partially offset by an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Segment adjusted operating profit margin was (2.1)% and (5.9)% for three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The increase in operating profit margin was due to gross margin improvements from a favorable region and channel mix, and lower discounts, and decreased selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Segment Adjusted Operating Profit in our Outdoor Performance segment decreased by 14.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Segment adjusted operating profit margin was 1.8% and 2.3% for six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This was primarily 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 improvements from a favorable channel and region mix.

Ball & Racquet segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased by 0.8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The growth was driven by a 14.8% increase in DTC sales, which was partially offset by a 1.4% decline in wholesale revenues. The growth was driven by the racquet, golf, and Wilson softgoods product categories, which was partially offset by declines in baseball and inflatable balls. Segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased 7.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Revenues from our wholesale channel decreased 9.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decline was due to the baseball, racquet, and basketball product categories, partially offset by growth in Wilson softgoods.

Ball & Racquet revenue on a constant currency basis increased 1.6% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue on a constant currency basis for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased 6.7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Segment Adjusted Operating Profit in our Ball & Racquet segment decreased by 57.3% and 73.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Segment adjusted operating profit margin was 1.1% and 2.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 2.7% and 8.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Segment adjusted operating profit was negatively impacted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses related to retail investments and the timing of advertising and promotion expenses compared to the

three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, segment adjusted operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was also negatively impacted by a decrease in gross margin due to higher discounts compared to the prior year.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Management uses certain non-IFRS financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, which include constant currency revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income attributable to equity holders. 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin enhance an investor’s understanding of our 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Net Income enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial and operating performance because they exclude certain material items relating to restructuring expenses, impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, share-based payments and the associated income tax expense, which are not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance. In addition, management believes constant currency revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the apparel, footwear, sports equipment, protective gear and accessories industries.

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 Accounting Standards 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 EBITDA, 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 PPA, restructuring expenses, expenses related to transaction activities, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, certain expenses related to share-based payments, and loss on debt extinguishment.

The tables below reconcile each of the following non-IFRS financial measures to their respective most directly comparable IFRS measure for the periods presented.

We granted share-based compensation to employees under these equity compensation plans beginning in 2019, but did not incur any expenses related to share-based payments in periods prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, as options granted under our equity compensation plans only vest once certain service and performance conditions are met, as well as upon the occurrence of an exit event, such as an initial public offering, and we did not believe an exit event was probable during such time. We started recognizing expenses related to share-based payments during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2023, as our IPO became probable.

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.

Our future contractual obligations are further discussed in “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” below. Historically, our main sources of liquidity have been cash flow from operating activities, shareholder loans and borrowings under our existing credit facilities. See “Indebtedness” below.

We had $255.9 million and $278.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The $22.6 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, as compared to June 30, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in cash flows used in financing and investing activities, partially offset by improved net cash flows from operating activities.

We believe our 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. Our capital expenditures for 2023 were approximately $136.3 million, and our capital expenditure for

2024 are expected to be approximately $310.0 million. The increase in planned capital expenditures is related to new retail store openings, the upgrade of our global SAP enterprise resource planning system over the next several years, which we are in the process of implementing across each of our brands, and the expansion of our warehousing facilities.

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.

Cash Flow Information

The following table sets forth our consolidated cash flow information for the periods presented:


	Six months ended June 30,
($ in millions)	2024		2023
Total net cash flows from/(used in) operating activities	$	66.8	$	(66.9)
Net cash flow used in investing activities	$	(114.4)	$	(56.3)
Net cash flow (used in)/from financing activities	$	(165.8)	$	4.7

Operating Activities

Total net cash flows from operating activities were $66.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to cash outflows of $66.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $133.7 million in cash inflows from operating activities was due to a favorable net change in working capital of $146.9 million, primarily driven by lower inventory levels, and an increase in net income of $83.2 million This was partially offset by a decrease in adjustments for non-cash and other items of $96.8 million, primarily due to an income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $114.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $56.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $58.1 million in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to increased investments in property, plant and equipment, mainly consisting of the expansion of our retail store network, and acquisition of intangible assets related to the implementation of a new SAP ERP system.

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 six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, totaled $127.2 million and $55.2 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities was $165.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to cash from financing activities of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $170.5 million in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by the repayment of $2.23 billion of the old Term Loan Facility under the Senior Facilities Agreement, $1.5 billion that was paid for Loans from related parties, a $115.4 million decrease in net proceeds from revolving credit facilities, and $25.2 million due to the settlements of forward contract and balance sheet hedges. This was partially offset by $2.0 billion in proceeds received from the new term loan facilities and senior secured notes, and $1.5 billion of net proceeds received from the IPO.

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 6.750% senior secured notes (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes will mature on February 16, 2031. Interest on the Notes are payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, beginning on September 1, 2024.

The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that is a borrower or a guarantor under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Note Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees related thereto are senior obligations and are secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, by the same first priority liens that secure the obligations of the Issuer and the Note Guarantors under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, on or after February 16, 2027, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.

In addition, prior to February 16, 2027, the Issuer may, at its option and on one or more occasions, redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes under the Indenture (including any additional Notes) during any 12-month period at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed. Prior to February 16, 2027, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price of 106.750% of the principal amount thereof, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes, as described above, each holder of the Notes will have a right to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (as such term is defined in the Indenture), to, among other things incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make certain investments and other restricted payments; create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, engage in mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; and transfer and sell assets. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.

New Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, 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 U.S. dollar denominated term loan facility of $500 million with a seven-year term to maturity (the “USD Term Loan Facility”), a Euro denominated term loan facility of €700 million with a seven-year term to maturity (the “EUR Term Loan Facility”, and together with the USD Term Loan Facility, the “New Term Loan Facilities”) and a five-year revolving credit facility of $710 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). The USD Term Loan Facility is denominated in U.S. dollars, the EUR Term Loan Facility is denominated in Euros and borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility are available in U.S. dollars or Euros. As of June 30, 2024, borrowings under the USD Term Loan Facility and EUR Term Loan Facility were $498.8 million and EUR 700.0 million, respectively. No amounts were borrowed on the New Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest and Fees

Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility in: (i) U.S. dollars will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, either (a) a term SOFR-based rate or (b) a U.S. dollar base rate and (ii) Euros will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR (provided, however, that the term SOFR-based rate and EURIBOR shall be no less than 0.00% per annum at any time and the U.S. dollar base rate shall be no less than 1.00% per annum at any time),

in each case, plus an applicable margin. Borrowings under the (i) USD Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, either (x) a term SOFR-based rate or (y) a U.S. dollar base rate and (ii) EUR Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR (provided, however, that the term SOFR-based rate and EURIBOR shall be no less than 0.00% per annum at any time and the U.S. dollar base rate shall be no less than 1.00% per annum at any time), in each case, plus an applicable margin.

The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility are between 0.75% to 1.75% with respect to U.S. dollar base rate borrowings and between 1.75% to 2.75% with respect to SOFR or EURIBOR borrowings based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio (the “Applicable Rate”). The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the USD Term Loan Facility are between 2.00% to 2.25% with respect to U.S. dollar base rate borrowings and between 3.00% to 3.25% with respect to SOFR borrowings based on the Company’s senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced long-term debt rating. The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the EUR Term Loan Facility are between 3.25% to 3.50% based on the Company’s senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced long-term debt ratings.

In addition, the Company is required to pay quarterly commitment fees equal to 30% of the Applicable Rate then in effect for SOFR borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, on a per annum basis in respect of the unutilized commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company will also be required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the Applicable Rate on SOFR borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit and agency fees.

The mandatory annual principal repayment for the USD Term Loan Facility is 1.00% per annum, payable in quarterly installments, and the first installment in respect of the USD Term Loan Facility is payable on June 30, 2024. The EUR Term Loan Facility is not expected to be subject to scheduled amortization payments. The Company may direct that prepayments be applied to such principal payments in order of maturity.

Collateral and Guarantors

The New Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company that are organized in the United States, Austria, Canada, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Finland, France, Hong Kong and Sweden, subject to certain exceptions and subject to the agreed security principles with respect to any such subsidiaries that are not organized in the United States or Canada.

The obligations of the Company and the obligations of the guarantors under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and certain hedging arrangements and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities (or affiliates thereof) are secured by first-priority security interests in the collateral securing such facilities subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Prepayments

Subject to certain exceptions and customary baskets set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans under the New Term Loan Facilities under certain circumstances, including from: (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds of insurance and condemnation proceeds for property or asset losses (subject to reinvestment rights, decreases based on leverage ratios and a net proceeds threshold), (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the incurrence of debt (other than permitted debt under the Credit Agreement), (iii) 50% of excess cash flow subject to decrease based on leverage ratios and subject to a threshold amount and (iv) 100% of net cash proceeds from asset sales (subject to reinvestment rights, decrease based on leverage ratios and net proceeds threshold). These mandatory prepayments may be used to satisfy future amortization.

The Company is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the revolving commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to SOFR and EURIBOR loans. The Company is permitted to voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the New Term Loan Facilities at any time without premium or penalty; provided that that any voluntary prepayment, refinancing or repricing of the New Term Loan Facilities in connection with certain repricing transactions that occur prior to the six-month anniversary of the closing of the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities shall be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of the term loans so prepaid, refinanced or repriced.

Certain Covenants and Events of Default

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 also contains certain customary affirmative covenants.

The New Revolving Credit Facility also contains financial covenants that: (1) require the Company to maintain a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of not greater than 5.00:1.00 and (2) require the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00:1.00, which shall increase to 2.25:1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 and shall further increase to 2.50:1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026. The financial covenants contain a customary term loan facility standstill and customary cure rights.

The Credit Agreement also 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.

The Senior Facilities Agreement provided for (i) a EUR 315 million senior secured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a EUR 1.7 billion senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The maturity date of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility was September 29, 2025, and March 29, 2026, respectively. The Senior Credit Facilities were guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and by certain of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries, and are secured by security granted by the Parent Guarantor and certain of its subsidiaries.

NOTE 1. THE COMPANY

Background and description of the business

Amer Sports, Inc. (formerly Amer Sports Management Holding (Cayman) Limited) (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 referred to as the “Group” or “Amer Sports”.

Amer Sports is a global platform of sport and outdoor brands, including Arc’teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic and Peak Performance. Amer Sports manufactures, markets and sells sports equipment, apparel, and footwear through wholesale and direct to consumer ("DTC") channels globally and has a sales network in 34 countries, with North America, Europe, Asia and China being the main market areas.

On January 31, 2024, the Company completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 105,000,000 ordinary shares at an initial offering price of $13.00 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “AS” on February 1, 2024. The IPO closed on February 5, 2024, raising $1.37 billion in gross proceeds, and the underwriters subsequently exercised a portion of their overallotment option to purchase additional shares of 7,875,000 at the initial offering price of $13.00, raising $102.4 million in additional gross proceeds on February 6, 2024.

On February 8, 2024, the underwriters exercised the remaining portion of the option to purchase additional shares of 7,875,000 at the initial offering price of $13.00, raising an additional $102.4 million in further additional gross proceeds.

Seasonality

Although the Group 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 Group in terms of both net sales 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 Group’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 the Group’s 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.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) as of January 1, 2024.

The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in millions of U.S. dollars (“$” or “USD”). Effective February 1, 2024, management determined that Amer Sports, Inc.’s functional currency changed from euro (“EUR”) to USD, which has been accounted for on a prospective basis. The change in functional currency was driven by the capital structure change of Amer Sports, Inc., due to the IPO, debt refinancing, and related transaction expenses incurred, which were primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Future equity issuances and cash flows of the Company will be in USD.

The presented figures and percentages are subject to rounding adjustments, which may cause discrepancies between the sum of the individual figures and the presented aggregated column and row totals. The figures have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for the revaluation of financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period as well as derivative financial instruments at fair value. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of the business.

New and amended standards and interpretations

The Group has applied the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that are required to be applied as of January 1, 2024:

•IAS 1 (amendment): Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non-current liabilities with Covenants - no material impact

•IFRS 16 (amendment): Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback - no material impact

•IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (amendment): Supplier finance arrangements - no material impact

Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions

When preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group’s management makes judgments and estimates influencing the content of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and it must exercise its judgment regarding the application of accounting policies. Management continuously evaluates the judgments and estimates it uses.

The significant judgments made and the estimates used by management have been applied in the same manner as reported in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group’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, the Company identified three reportable segments: Technical Apparel, Outdoor Performance and Ball & Racquet Sports.

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 and allocating resources.

NOTE 5. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 and Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2023

The objectives of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 (“2019 ESOP”) and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2023 (“2023 ESOP”) are to align the interest of the shareholders and key employees in order to increase the value of the Company in the long-term, and to commit key employees to the Company. The 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP provide for awards in the form of stock options to the Group’s key employees, and it is an equity-settled arrangement.

The maximum number of options under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP that may be granted is 3.0% and 1.2% respectively of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

Subject to a participant’s continued employment, options granted under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP will vest upon satisfaction of vesting conditions set out in an award agreement and an exit event (a public offering of the shares of the Company or a sale of a controlling majority of the shares in the Company or Amer Sports Corporation or any of its holding companies or the sale of the majority of the business assets of the Group) (the “exit event”).

In addition to an exit event, 35% of the options granted are time-vested, which vest evenly on an annual basis over 3 to 5 years, 65% of the options granted are with Group and/or brand performances.

The vesting of the options is subject to an exit event, which is a non-market performance condition. Share-based payment expenses for equity-settled awards and cash-settled awards have been recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023, as management deemed the public offering of the shares of the Company probable as of December 28, 2023. The expenses were booked against Other reserves for the equity-settled awards and against Other liabilities for the cash-settled awards, which reflected the vesting through the date the awards became probable of being earned.

Prior to the vesting of the option awards under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP plans, the Company made modification of the terms of the awards.

On December 28, 2023, the Company modified certain stock options under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP plans to increase the exercise price, with cash compensation payable upon vesting. For cash-settled awards, the modified terms have been reflected in the remeasurement of the liability as of December 31, 2023. On January 4, 2024, the exercise price currency of all options was converted from EUR to USD. On January 22, 2024, the Company removed the choice of settlement between cash and equity for certain employees. Thus, those options will be settled in equity instruments of the Company. On January 29, 2024, certain options granted with Group performance vesting conditions were modified to lower the threshold for vesting of certain options upon IPO.

The incremental fair value of the modified options at the dates of the modifications was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. For equity-settled awards, the incremental compensation cost will be recognized as an expense over the remaining vesting period, starting from the modification date. For cash-settled awards, the modified terms have been reflected in the remeasurement of the liability as of June 30, 2024.

Fair value of options granted

The fair value of the options has been measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the options were not taken into account in measuring fair value. The market performance condition was taken into account in measuring fair value. Equity-settled awards are measured on the grant date while cash-settled awards are remeasured until settlement.

As a result of the repayment, the Company recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Exchange rate losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes approximately $18.0 million of losses related to contract costs incurred in association with our IPO.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

In accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, income tax expense for the condensed consolidated 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 full interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the consolidated interim financial statements may differ from management’s best estimate of the effective rate.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The effective tax rate was 113% and (69)% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The six months ended June 30, 2024, included a discrete tax benefit of $19.9 million due to the reversal of uncertain tax positions as a result of the closure of tax audits and expiration of statute of limitations, which was partially offset by an unfavorable return to provision adjustment of $11.8 million. The effective tax rate of (69)% for the the six months ended June 30, 2023, is due to high non-deductible interest expenses.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation effective in 2024, the legislation does not have a material impact on the Group’s financial results. The Company is monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on its future income tax provision and effective income tax rate.

NOTE 8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant additions, disposals or impairments of 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 once a year when business plans for the next strategic planning horizon are approved by management.

Goodwill is monitored by management at Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) level, the level at which it and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. The CGUs in the Group 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 June 30, 2024.

NOTE 11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY/(DEFICIT)

The authorized share capital of the Company is EUR 75,000,000 divided into 2,495,175,000 shares of a nominal or par value of EUR 0.0300580119630888 each. As of June 30, 2024 there were 505,249,607 ordinary shares outstanding, amounting to share capital of $16.9 million. As of December 31, 2023 there were 115,220,745 A shares and 352,193 B shares outstanding, amounting to share capital of $642.2 million.

Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company (i) redesignated and reclassified each of the issued and outstanding class A voting shares and each of the issued and outstanding class B non-voting shares into a single class of ordinary shares, each entitled to one vote per share (collectively, the “Reclassification”) and (ii) effected a 3.3269-for-1 share split of its ordinary shares (the “Share Split”). Following the Reclassification and the Share Split, but before giving effect to the IPO, the Company had 384,499,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the IPO, the Company has 505,249,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

In addition to the Reclassification and the Share Split, the Company equitized a portion of Loans from related parties (comprised of the Investment Loan and Facility A Loan) in the amount of $2.54 billion (the “Equitization”), which resulted in an increase of Capital reserve. The Equitization is accounted for as a capital contribution.

In connection with the IPO, the Company eliminated the line item Reserves and instead introduced the Share premium, Capital reserve and Cash flow hedge reserve line items to be presented on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position. Certain amounts have been reclassified as of December 31, 2023 to conform to the current presentation. Share premium reflects the amount of IPO proceeds exceeding the par value. Capital reserve reflects the Equitization and suspension of interest relating to the Loans from related parties. Management believes that this presentation improves comparability to peers and investors’ understanding of the financial impact resulting from the IPO and the Equitization.

The Company also issued $800 million of 6.750% new senior secured notes on the same day. As of June 30, 2024, no amounts were borrowed on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The net proceeds of the IPO, together with the net proceeds from the $500 million term loan facility, the EUR 700 million term loan facility and the $800 million notes issuance and additional cash on hands were used to repay (i) all remaining borrowings under the old term loan facility under the Senior Facilities Agreement with a carrying value of $1.86 billion as of December 31, 2023 (recorded within Loans from financial institutions), (ii) the remaining borrowings from Loans from related parties after the Equitization as well as (iii) the remaining borrowings from the bilateral facility with Standard Chartered and the old revolving credit facility under the Senior Facilities Agreement with a carrying value in the amount of $90.0 million and $291.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023 (both recorded within current interest-bearing liabilities).

Ongoing litigation

The Group has extensive international operations and is involved in a number of legal proceedings, including product liability suits. Litigation is assessed on an ongoing basis by evaluating the probability of any potential financial impact. In management's opinion, we have adequate legal defenses, insurance coverage, or accrued liabilities with respect to such proceedings. We do not expect that any settlement would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated interim statement of income and loss and other comprehensive income or loss or consolidated interim statement of financial position.

As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s loans from financial institutions, which are recorded at amortized cost, was $2,066.1 million compared to a carrying value of $2,048.1 million.

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 Group does not have any financial instrument 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. This is the case for unlisted equity securities.

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as 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 most recent consolidated annual financial statements, are applicable in the reporting period.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

•for interest rate 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 consolidated statement of financial position, 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 factoring 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.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 short-term maturity of these instruments and low credit risk of counterparty.	The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and low credit risk of counterparty.

Available-for-sale factoring receivables	The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and low credit risk of counterparty.	The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments and low credit risk of counterparty.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The number of shares outstanding reflect a share split that became effective in January 2024, which was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Refer to Note 11. Shareholders' Equity/(Deficit) for further details on the Share Split.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred net losses and as a result, the inclusion of potentially dilutive shares relating to vested and unvested shares of restricted share units, performance share units, and stock options (represented by 6,044,026, 3,471,233, and 3,210,005 weighted average potentially diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, 630,574 weighted average potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to unvested stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects would have been antidilutive. In addition, 2,389,264 weighted average potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to unvested performance share units and stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period.

THE COMPANY	6 Months Ended
THE COMPANY	Jun. 30, 2024
THE COMPANY
THE COMPANY	THE COMPANY Background and description of the business Amer Sports, Inc. (formerly Amer Sports Management Holding (Cayman) Limited) (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 referred to as the “Group” or “Amer Sports”. Amer Sports is a global platform of sport and outdoor brands, including Arc’teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic and Peak Performance. Amer Sports manufactures, markets and sells sports equipment, apparel, and footwear through wholesale and direct to consumer ("DTC") channels globally and has a sales network in 34 countries, with North America, Europe, Asia and China being the main market areas. On January 31, 2024, the Company completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 105,000,000 ordinary shares at an initial offering price of $13.00 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “AS” on February 1, 2024. The IPO closed on February 5, 2024, raising $1.37 billion in gross proceeds, and the underwriters subsequently exercised a portion of their overallotment option to purchase additional shares of 7,875,000 at the initial offering price of $13.00, raising $102.4 million in additional gross proceeds on February 6, 2024. On February 8, 2024, the underwriters exercised the remaining portion of the option to purchase additional shares of 7,875,000 at the initial offering price of $13.00, raising an additional $102.4 million in further additional gross proceeds. Seasonality Although the Group 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 Group in terms of both net sales 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 Group’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 the Group’s 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.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES	6 Months Ended
SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Jun. 30, 2024
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparation These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) as of January 1, 2024. The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in millions of U.S. dollars (“$” or “USD”). Effective February 1, 2024, management determined that Amer Sports, Inc.’s functional currency changed from euro (“EUR”) to USD, which has been accounted for on a prospective basis. The change in functional currency was driven by the capital structure change of Amer Sports, Inc., due to the IPO, debt refinancing, and related transaction expenses incurred, which were primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Future equity issuances and cash flows of the Company will be in USD. The presented figures and percentages are subject to rounding adjustments, which may cause discrepancies between the sum of the individual figures and the presented aggregated column and row totals. The figures have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for the revaluation of financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period as well as derivative financial instruments at fair value. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of the business. New and amended standards and interpretations The Group has applied the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations that are required to be applied as of January 1, 2024: •IAS 1 (amendment): Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non-current liabilities with Covenants - no material impact •IFRS 16 (amendment): Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback - no material impact •IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (amendment): Supplier finance arrangements - no material impact Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions When preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group’s management makes judgments and estimates influencing the content of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and it must exercise its judgment regarding the application of accounting policies. Management continuously evaluates the judgments and estimates it uses. The significant judgments made and the estimates used by management have been applied in the same manner as reported in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

INCOME TAXES	6 Months Ended
INCOME TAXES	Jun. 30, 2024
Major components of tax expense (income) [abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES In accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, income tax expense for the condensed consolidated 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 full interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the consolidated interim financial statements may differ from management’s best estimate of the effective rate. The effective tax rate was 113% and (69)% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The six months ended June 30, 2024, included a discrete tax benefit of $19.9 million due to the reversal of uncertain tax positions as a result of the closure of tax audits and expiration of statute of limitations, which was partially offset by an unfavorable return to provision adjustment of $11.8 million. The effective tax rate of (69)% for the the six months ended June 30, 2023, is due to high non-deductible interest expenses. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation effective in 2024, the legislation does not have a material impact on the Group’s financial results. The Company is monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on its future income tax provision and effective income tax rate.

Disclosure of classes of share capital [abstract]
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)	SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY/(DEFICIT) The authorized share capital of the Company is EUR 75,000,000 divided into 2,495,175,000 shares of a nominal or par value of EUR 0.0300580119630888 each. As of June 30, 2024 there were 505,249,607 ordinary shares outstanding, amounting to share capital of $16.9 million. As of December 31, 2023 there were 115,220,745 A shares and 352,193 B shares outstanding, amounting to share capital of $642.2 million. Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company (i) redesignated and reclassified each of the issued and outstanding class A voting shares and each of the issued and outstanding class B non-voting shares into a single class of ordinary shares, each entitled to one vote per share (collectively, the “Reclassification”) and (ii) effected a 3.3269-for-1 share split of its ordinary shares (the “Share Split”). Following the Reclassification and the Share Split, but before giving effect to the IPO, the Company had 384,499,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the IPO, the Company has 505,249,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. In addition to the Reclassification and the Share Split, the Company equitized a portion of Loans from related parties (comprised of the Investment Loan and Facility A Loan) in the amount of $2.54 billion (the “Equitization”), which resulted in an increase of Capital reserve. The Equitization is accounted for as a capital contribution. In connection with the IPO, the Company eliminated the line item Reserves and instead introduced the Share premium, Capital reserve and Cash flow hedge reserve line items to be presented on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position. Certain amounts have been reclassified as of December 31, 2023 to conform to the current presentation. Share premium reflects the amount of IPO proceeds exceeding the par value. Capital reserve reflects the Equitization and suspension of interest relating to the Loans from related parties. Management believes that this presentation improves comparability to peers and investors’ understanding of the financial impact resulting from the IPO and the Equitization.
