Outlook
Outlook 2011• Amer Sports’ strategic development programs continue to contribute positively to the Group
performance in 2011 and the company will continue investing into executing the new strategy and sustaining the growth.
• In Footwear and Apparel, fall/winter pre-orders are indicating that the strong momentum will continue. In Winter Sports Equipment, Amer Sports’ operational efficiency measures are expected to have a positive impact on the full-year profitability. The sporting goods market is estimated to continue to grow modestly in 2011, with sports specific and regional differences.
• In 2011, Amer Sports expects its net sales to continue to clearly exceed the Group’s long-term financial target of 5% annual currency-neutral growth. EBIT margin excluding non-recurring items is expected to improve from the level of 2010.
