The Arc’teryx and Salomon owner booked a 339% increase in operating profit to $192m. Adjusted operating profit increased 209% to $208m.
Net income surged to $117m from $22.4m last year, including a benefit of $50.1m from tariff refunds, net of the release of capitalised tariff costs, specific inventory reserves, and estimated reimbursements to vendors.
CEO James Zheng commented: "Our global momentum continued through the second quarter with over 30% revenue growth and strong operating margin expansion. All segments, geographies, and channels achieved strong double-digit growth led by another exceptional quarter from Salomon Softgoods, a strong Arc'teryx omni-comp, and a Wilson Tennis 360 acceleration.
"Given the broad-based momentum across our portfolio, the healthy and growing premium sports and outdoor market, and the world class teams we have in place around the world, I am very confident in the future outlook for Amer Sports."
Going forward, Amer Sports anticipates 24% revenue growth for the full year, gross margin of 60.5%-61% and operating margin of 14.2-14.5%.
CFO Andrew Page noted: “We had another great financial performance in the second quarter across the P&L, with strong sales, margins, and EPS. The investments we have been making are paying off in the form of strong momentum across our three largest opportunities: Arc'teryx, Salomon Softgoods, and Wilson Tennis 360.
"And we will continue to reinvest behind these early-stage growth engines to ensure high quality long-duration growth and strong brand equity over the long term.
"Looking ahead, the strong position of our brands, great execution by our teams, and healthy demand trends in the market, give us the confidence to raise our full year 2026 sales, margin, and EPS guidance."
Amer Sports now expects full-year reported revenue growth of roughly 24%, gross margin of 60.5–61.0%, operating margin of 14.2–14.5%, and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.27–$1.30.
