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 Companys registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. Hereinafter, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to as the Group or Amer Sports. The ultimate parent company of the Group is Amer Sports Holding (Cayman) Limited (the “parent company”).

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

Amer Sports Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, was founded in 1950. On April 1, 2019, Amer Sports Corporation was acquired by a consortium consisting of ANTA Sports Products Limited (a sportswear company in China, “ANTA Sports”), FountainVest Partners (private equity firm in Asia), Anamered Investments Inc. (an investment vehicle owned by Chip Wilson) and Tencent Holdings Limited (a technology company in Asia), each of which initially owned their interests in Amer Sports Holding (HK) Limited, an indirect parent of Amer Sports Corporation following the acquisition, through Amer Sports Holding (Cayman) Limited (the Acquisition).

In 2022, in preparation for the initial public offering, that took place February 1, 2024 (the “IPO”), the Group undertook a reorganization pursuant to which Amer Sports Holding (Cayman) Limited exchanged its shares of Amer Sports Holding (HK) Limited for new shares of Amer Sports Management Holding (Cayman) Limited, the new holding company parent of Amer Sports Holding (HK) Limited. Amer Sports Holding (HK) Limited is the immediate parent of Amer Sports Holding 3 Oy, the predecessor entity of the Company (the predecessor entity). Amer Sports Corporation is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the predecessor entity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of U.S. dollars (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, as explained in the accounting policies below. The consolidated 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.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain accounting estimates. The areas that require a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed below.

The consolidated financial statements for the Group have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 18, 2024.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company and include all subsidiaries over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Companies acquired during the financial year have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control was obtained. Similarly, divested subsidiaries are included up to the date when control has been relinquished.

The ownership of the subsidiary shares within the Group are eliminated using the acquisition method. The transferred consideration and all the identifiable assets and liabilities of an acquired company are measured at fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recognized as the amount by which the total transferred consideration exceeds the fair value of the acquired net assets.

Intercompany transactions, profit distribution as well as intercompany receivables, liabilities and unrealized gains between Group companies are eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts have been reclassified from prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Macroeconomic environment

The major events that impacted the business of the Group during the reporting periods were the Russia-Ukraine war, price inflation and increased interest rates.

Russia-Ukraine conflict

As a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed against Russia, the Group put all its shipments to Russia on hold on February 26, 2022 and suspended all significant commercial activities in Russia by the end of fiscal year 2022 indefinitely, including store, e-commerce channels, and shipments to the Company’s wholesale partners. The Group’s sales in Russia were USD 56.0 million in 2021 and decreased to USD 18.7 million in 2022 and USD 6.9 million in 2023. The total assets of our Russian subsidiary ASRUS ZAO Amer Sports amounted to USD 22.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and USD 15.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company maintains a leased office space in Russia and a limited number of employees to safeguard the operations of the entity, file statutory financial statements and monitor the local market to secure the Company’s global brand assets.

Price inflation and increased interest rates

Amer Sports encountered rising costs in energy, logistics, labor, and other aspects of its business model. Furthermore, macro-economic factors such as increasing interest rates may contribute to a potential recession in specific markets. These uncertainties could temporarily impact overall customer demand. Nonetheless, the Company addresses inflation by adjusting customer prices, aligning them with expected increases in recommended retail prices from suppliers when determining its own price adjustments.

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Assets or a disposal group of assets and liabilities is categorized as held for sale when the economic benefits gained from it will be accrued primarily from its sale rather than from continuous use. Assets or disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and disclosed as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of financial position. These assets are not amortized or depreciated.

An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset or a disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset or a disposal group, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the sale of the non-current asset or a disposal group is recognized at the date of derecognition.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Groups business that has been disposed of or will be disposed of in accordance with a coordinated plan. It represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Any gain or loss from disposal, together with the profit or loss of a discontinued operation until the date of disposal, is reported separately from income and expenses of the continuing operations in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. The prior periods in these statements are presented on a comparative basis. Intercompany income and expenses between continuing and discontinued operations are eliminated.

More details on the assets held for sale and discontinued operations are disclosed under note 29.

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, 2023:

IFRS 17: Insurance contracts – no material impact
IAS 1 and IFRS Practice statement 2 (amendment): Disclosure of Accounting Policies – no material impact
IAS 8 (amendment): Definition of Accounting Estimates – no material impact
IAS 12 (amendment): Deferred tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – no material impact
Small changes to various standards or interpretations as part of the annual improvements to IFRS project – no material impact

New IFRS standards not yet effective

The following standards that are issued but not yet effective will be adopted in 2024 or later:

IAS 1 (amendment): Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non- current liabilities with Covenants
IFRS 16 (amendment): Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback
IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (amendment): Supplier finance arrangements
IAS 21 (amendment): Lack of exchangeability
Small changes to various standards or interpretations as part of the annual improvements to IFRS project

Management has concluded that the adoption of any of the above accounting pronouncements, that were issued but not effective for the period ended December 31, 2023, will not have a material impact on the Groups consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency transactions and translation

The Companys consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of the parent company is EUR, while the functional currency for each subsidiary is its local currency or the currency in which the subsidiary mainly operates. Transactions involving the translation to the respective functional currencies of values denominated in foreign currencies are classified as monetary or non-monetary, thereby defining the measurement and recognition of foreign currency translation gains and losses applicable to a transaction.

The Group companies record transactions in foreign currencies at the rate on the transaction date or at an estimated rate sufficiently close to the rate on the transaction date. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are outstanding at the end of the financial year are translated at the closing rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses related to operational transactions are presented within operating expenses above Operating profit. Exchange rate gains and losses on foreign currency-denominated loans and other receivables and liabilities connected with financing transactions are recorded at their net values as finance income and expenses.

The consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss is translated into U.S. dollars by consolidating each calendar month separately using the actual daily average for the month, whereby the sum of the twelve calendar months represents the whole year. Translation differences arising from the translation of the net investment in non-U.S. operations are booked to translation differences in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the accumulated amount of translation differences relating to the disposed foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party. These include both non-derivative financial instruments, such as accounts receivables and payables, and derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts.

Financial assets

Categorization and measurement

In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, financial assets are categorized as:

I.financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

II.financial assets measured at amortized cost

III.financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and loss (OCI)

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset and the Groups business model for managing them. All purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Derivatives are classified at fair value through profit and loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. Assets in this category are classified as current assets, except for maturities over 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: 

the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. Financial assets are included in current assets, except for maturities over 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The Groups financial assets at amortized cost include accounts receivables, other non-current financial assets and other non-interest yielding receivables.

The Group measures financial assets at fair value through OCI (FVOCI) if both of the following conditions are met:

the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

For financial assets at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in OCI.

Financial assets at fair value through OCI are measured at their fair value by applying the market prices at the balance sheet date or some other determination of value used by the Company. The change in fair value is presented in fair value and other reserves under shareholders equity. Fair value changes are transferred from shareholders equity to the consolidated statement of loss when the asset is sold or its value has been impaired such that an impairment loss must be recognized. Financial assets at fair value through OCI whose fair value cannot be determined reliably are measured at cost or a lower value if they are impaired. Financial assets at fair value through OCI are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group substantially transferred all rewards and risks associated with the ownership. In the case of sales of trade receivables, essentially all rewards and risks are transferred to the buyer of the receivables.

Impairment

Loss allowances are recognized for expected credit losses (ECL) on a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through OCI. For trade receivables, the Group adopts the so-called simplified approach, which does not require the recognition of periodic changes in credit risk, but rather the accounting of an expected credit loss calculated over the entire life of the credit (lifetime ECL) according to the provision matrix approach. ECLs of accounts receivable are measured on a collective basis. The grouping is based on geographical region, customer rating, the type of collateral or whether the receivables are covered by trade credit insurance as well as the type of customer. The ECL model is forward-looking and the expected default rates are based on the realized losses in the past based on the previous three years considering the time value of money, probability-weighted outcome, supportable information available without undue cost or effort about the past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The lifetime ECL allowances are calculated using the gross carrying amounts of the outstanding trade receivables and the expected default rates with probability-weighted outcomes. The historically observed default rates are updated annually. In addition, forward-looking specific provision is prepared in cases where the basic ECL allowance based on the historical loss data does not cover expected losses, which includes the impact of expected changes in the economic, regulatory and technological environment (such as industry outlook, GDP, employment, politics), and external market indicators. The estimates are based on a systematic, on-going review and evaluation performed as part of the credit-risk evaluation process. The specific provision is updated on a quarterly basis.

Financial liabilities

In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, financial liabilities are categorized as:

I.

financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

II.financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include derivatives that are classified at fair value through profit and loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are initially carried at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount of financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities, except for maturities over 12 months after the balance sheet date, in which case they are classified as long-term liabilities.

Current financial liabilities include current interest-bearing liabilities, accounts payables and other current liabilities. Accounts payables correspond primarily to trade payables. They also include payables that have been transferred to a vendor financing program, as there is no material difference in the nature or terms of the liabilities compared to other trade payables.

Long-term financial liabilities include long-term loans from financial institutions, loans from related parties and other liabilities.

Derivatives

The Groups derivative instruments may include foreign exchange forward contracts and options, interest rate swaps, interest rate options and cross-currency swaps. Foreign exchange forward contracts and options are used to hedge against changes in the value of receivables and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and interest rate swaps and interest rate options to hedge against interest rate risk. Cross-currency swaps are used to hedge against changes in value of foreign currency denominated receivables and liabilities and against interest rate risk.

Foreign exchange forward contracts and options, interest rate swaps and options and cross currency swaps are measured at fair value on the day that the Group becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent measurement is also at fair value. Foreign exchange derivatives are measured at fair value using the closing rates quoted by the European Central Bank on the reporting date together with common pricing models that are used for valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts and options. The fair values of interest rate and cross currency swaps are calculated as the current value of future cash flows. Interest rate options are valued with year-end interest rates together with common option pricing models.

Gains and losses from fair value measurement are treated in accordance with the purpose of the derivative financial instrument. For maturities below 12 months after the balance sheet date, the fair value of the derivatives is presented in prepaid expenses and other receivables or other liabilities. For maturities over 12 months, the fair value is presented in other non-current assets or other liabilities.

Changes in the value of derivative instruments, which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded as finance income and expenses, except for when they are associated with hedging the cash flow from operating activities, in which case they are recorded in other operating income and expenses.

Hedge accounting

The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting to foreign exchange derivatives that hedge material cash flows from operating activities. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is recognized in the fair value and other reserves under shareholders equity. Any ineffective component, however, will be immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. The cumulative change in gains or losses for the effective hedges is transferred to the income statement for the period when the hedged item is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

When a hedging instrument expires, is sold, or if the hedge does not meet the requirements set for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, any cumulative gain or loss recorded in equity remains in equity until the forecasted transaction is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. When the forecasted cash flow is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately recorded in other operating income and expenses in the case of an operating cash flow hedge.

When initiating hedge accounting, the Group documents the correlation between the hedged item and the hedging instruments, as well as the Groups risk management objective and hedge initiation strategy. The Group documents and evaluates the effectiveness of hedges when initiating hedging and on a quarterly basis by examining the degree to which the hedging instrument offsets changes in the fair value and cash flow of the hedged item.

The Group does not hedge the net investment in foreign subsidiary operations with derivatives.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises sale of products and services, and license fees. Revenue is presented net of value added tax, discounts, incentives, rebates earned by customers, and estimated returns.

Management applies the following five step model when determining the timing and amount of revenue recognition:

1.identifying the contracts with customers,
2.identifying the separate performance obligations,
3.determining the transaction price,
4.allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, and
5.recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the products and services are transferred to the customer in accordance with the terms of delivery at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those products and services in the ordinary course of the Groups activities.

Revenue recognized from services comprises mainly freight services in the Groups operating segments. The revenue from the freight services is recognized at a point in time upon the delivery of the goods when the control has been transferred to the customer.

The Group sells products and services through three channels: wholesale, own retail and ecommerce, with the latter two belonging to direct-to-consumer (DTC).

In wholesale, volume rebates, performance bonuses and payment term discounts are offered to certain major customers. The Group typically applies the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration for the expected future rebates and performance bonuses. Certain contracts provide wholesale customers with a right to return goods within a specified period. The Group recognizes a refund liability as a reduction of revenue and a corresponding right of return asset as reduction of cost of goods sold based on the expected future return rates derived from historical data.

In own retail and ecommerce, revenue is recognized when control of the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery to the customer or point of sale for sales in own retail stores. In ecommerce, the products sold online can be returned within 14-30 days of receipt of the products. For expected returns, the Group recognizes a refund liability as a reduction of revenue and a corresponding right of return asset as reduction of cost of goods sold based on the expected future return rates derived from historical data. A contract liability is recognized from the sale of gift cards in own retail and ecommerce. The Group expects to be entitled to a breakage amount. It recognizes breakage amount as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by customers based on historical data.

The Group provides warranties that promise the customer that the delivered product is as typically specified in the contract and covers general repairs for defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

Revenue obtained from other companies is booked to license income when such companies manufacture or sell products bearing the Groups trademarks. License income based on fixed license agreements is recognized evenly throughout the financial year, while license income determined by sales volumes is recognized during the financial year as the licensee generates sales revenue. The non-refundable minimum guarantees related to certain licensing agreements are for functional intellectual properties, while the guarantee revenue is recognized at the point in time the control of the license is transferred to the customer.

Pension plans

The Groups pension arrangements comply with the local rules and practices of the countries where the Group operates. The Groups pension arrangements are either defined contribution or defined benefit plans. Under defined contribution based plans, the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and does not have any legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions. Under defined contribution plans, the Groups contributions are recorded as an expense in the period to which they relate.

Defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plans are partially or fully funded through payments to insurance companies or contributions to trustee-administered funds. In defined benefit plans, the pension expenses recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss are determined using the projected unit credit method, which calculates the present value of the obligation and the related service costs. The pension liability is measured by calculating the present value of future pension obligations, discounted using the market yield on high quality corporate bonds or government bonds in countries where there is no deep market for such bonds. The defined benefit plan asset is measured at fair market value as of the reporting date. The net liability (asset) recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present value of the pension obligation less the fair value of the plan assets.

All actuarial gains and losses relating to post-employment benefits are recognized in full in other comprehensive income and loss. For other long-term employee benefits, the Group recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the consolidated statement of loss. All past service costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss when the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs. Net interest expense (income) is determined based on the net defined benefit liability (asset) and the discount rate at the beginning of the year.

Expenses related to defined benefit post-employment plans are reported as follows:

service cost
net interest expense
remeasurement components under OCI. Actuarial gains and losses are not classified to the consolidated statement of loss in subsequent periods.

Share-based payments

The Groups key employees have been granted options under two share-based incentive plans - the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 and Employee and Stock Ownership Plan 2023. Options settled in shares only are measured on the grant date. Options settled in cash or shares at the election of certain employees are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement. The share-based payments expense is recognized over the requisite service period with the offsetting credit to equity for options that are settled in shares, and with the offsetting credit to liabilities for options that are settled in cash or shares at the election of certain employees, when it is probable that the service vesting condition and non-market performance condition, if applicable, will be met.

When the terms or conditions of options granted to employees have been modified, the effect of modifications that increase the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or are otherwise beneficial to the employees would be recognized. The incremental fair value granted is the difference between the fair value of the modified options and that of the original options, both estimated as at the date of the modification. When modification occurs during the vesting period, the incremental fair value granted is included in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received over the period from the modification date until the date when the modified options vest, in addition to the amount based on the grant date fair value of the original options, which is recognized over the remainder of the original vesting period. When a modification changes the classification of a share-based payment transaction from cash-settled award to equity-settled award, the liability for the cash-settled award is remeasured until the modification date and is reclassified to equity.

Income taxes

Current income taxes

Current income taxes comprise the taxes for the financial year calculated based on the result for the period and in accordance with the tax legislation of each companys local domicile as well as assessed or returned taxes for previous financial periods.

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on all temporary differences between the book and tax base of assets in accordance with the tax rate at the balance sheet date or with the substantially enacted future tax rate. Temporary differences arise from factors such as unused tax losses, depreciation differences, provisions, defined benefit pension plans, the fair valuation of derivative financial instruments, the internal inventory margin as well as measurements to fair value of assets in connection with business acquisitions. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized for unremitted earnings of subsidiaries to the extent that they are expected to be permanently invested in international operations. These earnings, the amount of which cannot be practicably computed, could become subject to additional tax if they were remitted as dividends or if the Company were to sell the shareholdings in the subsidiaries. A deferred tax asset is recognized as a result of unused tax losses and other temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that these can be utilized in future financial periods. For the assessment of probability, in addition to past performance and the respective prospects for the foreseeable future, appropriate tax structuring measures are also taken into consideration. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period or periods in which the tax loss or credit can be utilized.

Segment information

The Groups organizational structure comprises the following reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Technical Apparel consisting of the brands Arcteryx and Peak Performance, Outdoor Performance consisting of the brands Salomon, Atomic, Armada and ENVE, and Ball & Racquet Sports consisting of the brands Wilson, Demarini, Louisville Slugger, Evoshield and ATEC. The Group reports revenue for four geographical areas: EMEA, Americas, Greater China and Asia Pacific excluding Greater China.

The CEO is the chief operating decision-maker who monitors the operating results of the segments to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values of the assets transferred, and liabilities incurred towards the former owners of the acquired entity. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss in the period in which the costs are incurred and the related services are received.

Intangible assets

The Groups intangible assets and goodwill primarily result from the acquisition of Amer Sports Corporation and its subsidiaries by Amer Sports Holding Oy on April 1, 2019. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives comprise brand names and trademarks. As the brand names and trademarks are core to the business and as there is no foreseeable limit to the future cash flows generated by the intangible assets, brand names and trademarks are assessed as indefinitely lived. Brand names and trademarks with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment at least on an annual basis (see impairment of assets below). Impairment testing is performed by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset to its carrying value. Any resulting impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives

Intangible assets with a finite useful life consist of patents and software licenses, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of 3 to 15 years. Patents and software licenses are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment and if any impairment indication exists, the asset is then tested for impairment.

Development expenses are capitalized when they meet the recognition criteria in IAS 38 Intangible Assets and amortized during their useful lives.

The Group capitalizes development costs as intangible assets only when the following criteria are met:

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset exists,
there is an intent to complete and an ability to use or sell the intangible asset,
the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits,
there are adequate resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and
there is the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets measured at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is stated at historical cost less any accumulated impairment losses and is not amortized. Goodwill has been allocated to the cash-generating units (CGU) and are tested for impairment annually and if there are triggering events by comparing the recoverable amount of a CGU to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss, if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis in order to write down the cost of the assets to their residual values over their expected useful lives, adjusting for any impairment. The depreciation periods are:

Asset category

    

Estimated useful life

Buildings and constructions

 

25-40 years

Machinery and equipment

 

3-10 years

Leasehold improvements

 

shorter of the lease term or useful life

Land areas are not depreciated.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset is then tested for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount to its carrying value. Impairment losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The lease contracts, where the Group acts as a lessee under IFRS 16 Leases consist mainly of real estate (e.g. retail stores, offices, warehouses) and cars. The Group recognizes a right- of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.

The Group has elected to use the exemptions proposed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease term is shorter than 12 months and on lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low-value (e.g. laptops, mobile phones; below USD 5 thousand). The lease expenses for short-term and low-value contracts as well as for lease contracts with variable leases based on net sales of the leased premises are recognized as rent expenses over the lease term in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Lease liabilities

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Groups incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the incremental borrowing rate is applied. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the type of the leased asset.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the fixed payments (including the in-substance fixed payments), variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The Group applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise or not to exercise the option to extend or terminate the lease. It considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the extension or termination.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, if there is a change in the Groups estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. A corresponding adjustment is done to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or it is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Right-of-use assets

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying assets or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as for the property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is reduced by potential impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

In 2022, the Group applied the amendments to IFRS 16 Leases as an optional practical expedient to allow lessees not to account for rent concessions as lease modifications if they are a direct consequence of COVID-19 and meet certain conditions. The practical expedient applies only if the revised consideration is substantially the same or less than the original consideration, the reduction in lease payments relates to payments due on or before June 30, 2022, and no other substantive changes have been made to the terms of the lease. All those rent concessions that met the aforementioned conditions were recognized as variable lease payment reductions in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. In 2023 the amendment to IFRS 16 was no longer valid.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Groups operations have been divided into cash generating units (CGU) representing the Groups brands and reflecting the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. A cash generating unit determined for the impairment testing purposes is the smallest group of assets generating cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

Impairment testing is performed by comparing the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU to its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use (VIU). VIU has been calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each CGU (refer to note 9 for further details).

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost calculated according to the first-in-first-out principle or the net realizable value. For self-manufactured products, the cost includes direct wages and raw material costs as well as a portion of the indirect costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in realizable value, the amount of the write-down previously recorded is reversed.

Provisions

Obligations arising as the consequence of a past event, which are legal or which the Company has an actual obligation to settle and are considered certain or likely to occur, are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. They are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as provisions when it is probable that the resources will be transferred out of the Group but the precise amount or timing is not known. The most important regular provisions are due to the repair or replacement of products during the warranty period. These provisions are determined on the basis of historical experience. A provision for reorganization is made when the Group has drawn up a detailed reorganization plan and announced the reorganization.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Groups management makes judgments and estimates influencing the content of the consolidated financial statements and it must exercise its judgment regarding the application of accounting policies. The judgments and estimates are based on a set of underlying data that may include managements historical experience, knowledge of current event and conditions, and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management continuously evaluates the judgments and estimates it uses. These estimates have been applied in a manner that is consistent with prior periods. There are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that the Group believes will materially affect the methodology or assumptions used in making these judgments and estimates in the consolidated financial statements.

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and estimates that the Group believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Actual results may differ from these estimates. Any changes in the estimates and assumptions are recognized in the period in which the estimate or assumption is revised.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of non-current tangible and intangible assets are assessed by means of impairment tests whenever there is an indication of impairment. Any impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are nevertheless assessed at least once a year.

More details of the impairment are disclosed under note 9.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legal or actual obligation for the Company to settle an obligation arising as the consequence of a past event that is considered certain or likely to occur. The most important regular provisions are due to the repair or replacement of products during the warranty period. These provisions are determined on the basis of historical experience. The provisions recognized represent managements best estimate of the present value of the future costs assumed to be incurred. The actual costs may differ from the estimated.

More details on the provisions are disclosed in note 21.

Accounts receivable

The Group has a significant number of customers which minimizes the concentration of credit risks. Ongoing estimates are done related to the ability to collect the Groups accounts receivables and maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses resulting from the ability of the Groups customers to make the required payments. The historical levels of credit losses are considered to make judgments about the creditworthiness of the customers based on ongoing credit evaluations.

More details on the aging and valuation provisions of the accounts receivables are disclosed in note 28.

Inventories

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost calculated according to the first-in-first-out principle or the net realizable value. The net realizable value requires an estimate of the products future selling prices. When assessing the net realizable value of the inventories, the Group considers multiple factors and uses estimates related to fluctuations in inventory levels, aging of inventory, customer behavior and anticipated sales volume, seasonality, expected selling prices and selling costs.

More details on the inventory provisions are disclosed in note 16.

Income taxes

Management judgment is required in determining provisions for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized. The Group is also subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the Groups provision for income taxes. There may be transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group anticipates questions arising in tax audits and recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

More details on the income taxes are disclosed under note 12.

Pension plans

The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (or income) for pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations.

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions.

More details on the pension plans are disclosed under note 8.

Share-based payments

Options granted will vest upon satisfaction of service and performance conditions, and an exit event (a public offering of the shares of the Company or a sale of the controlling majority of the shares in the Company or business assets) (the exit event), which is a non-market performance condition. For options with service and/or performance conditions, the amount of compensation expense recognized is based on the number of awards expected to vest, reflecting estimated expected forfeitures, and is adjusted to reflect those awards that do ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is based on management’s best estimate of expected forfeitures, taking into consideration historical trends and expected future behavior. For options with a non-market performance condition (i.e. exit event), the Company recognizes the expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the exit event will be achieved. The Company deemed the exit event probable as of December 28, 2023.

The fair values of the options at grant date, at modification date and at the end of the reporting period are estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model including any market performance conditions and excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.

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 as well as Ball & Racquet Sports.

Operating and reportable segments

The Company has four operating segments: Technical Apparel, Salomon, Winter Sports Equipment and Ball & Racquet Sports. As permitted by IFRS 8 Operating segments, the Company assessed, based on the qualitative aggregation criteria mentioned in IFRS 8.12 and on a quantitative analysis based on gross margins, if Salomon and Winter Sports Equipment are similar and could be aggregated to one reportable segment. The following aggregation criteria were analyzed by the Company: Nature of the products and services, nature of the production processes, type or class of customer for the products and services and methods used to distribute the products or provide the service. Based on the Company’s assessment, the Company concluded that the operating segments Salomon and Winter Sports Equipment are similar and can be aggregated into the reportable segment Outdoor Performance. Therefore, the Company identified three reportable segments: Technical Apparel, Outdoor Performance as well as Ball & Racquet Sports. The Company measures each operating segments performance based on revenue and adjusted operating profit as these are the measures used by the CODM for assessing the performance of operating segments. Each of the segments includes different brands and comprises a range of products.

Technical Apparel

Technical Apparel includes outdoor apparel, footwear and accessories and consists of the Arcteryx and Peak Performance brands.

Outdoor Performance

Outdoor Performance includes outdoor apparel, footwear, accessories and winter sports equipment and consists of our Salomon, Atomic, Armada and ENVE brands. While the operating segments Salomon and Winter Sports Equipment are separately managed and reported, the operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment as they have similar products, production processes, type of customers, methods used to distribute as well as average gross margins and similar expected growth rates.

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 comprise the Wilson Sporting Goods portfolio.

PENSIONS

The pension arrangements for the Group companies are based on local regulations and practices in each country. Amer Sports, Inc. has no employees and therefore had no pension arrangements in place during the periods presented. The Group’s defined benefit pension plans at the end of the reporting period relate to the Group’s operating entities. The Group has defined benefit pension plans in the United States, France, Switzerland, the UK, Germany, Japan, Sweden and Austria. These plans are partially or fully funded. In some countries the funding is carried out through external pension funds whose assets are not included in the Group’s assets. Contributions to the funds are made in accordance with local regulations. In the United States and the UK, the pension plans are closed, and new members are no longer accepted.

The Groups pension arrangements comply with the local rules and practices of the countries where the Group operates. The Groups pension arrangements are either defined contribution or defined benefit plans. Under defined contribution plans, the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and does not have any legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions. Under defined contribution plans, the Groups contributions are recorded as an expense in the period to which they relate.

Defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. In total, there are 14 post-employment benefit plans qualifying as defined benefit plans. The defined benefit plans in the USA, the UK and Austria represent approximately 84% of the defined benefit obligation and are described in more detail:

USA Wilson Retirement Pension Plan (USA Wilson Plan)

Wilson Sporting Goods Co. provides to the participants of the USA Wilson Plan benefit as a flat dollar amount for each year of service. The plan was offered to employees who joined the Company before January 1, 2003 (November 22, 2004 for union employees). New employees are offered a defined contribution plan only. For salaried plan participants, the benefit is a final salary pension plan offered to employees who joined the Company before January 1, 1999. New employees (hired after 1998) are offered a defined contribution plan only. The plan operates under trust law and is managed and administered by the Trustee on behalf of the members. The plans assets are held by the trust. The former Retirement Income Plan was merged into the USA Wilson Plan in 2022, effective December 31, 2022.

USA Post Retirement Life Insurance and Medical Plan

According to the Post Retirement Life Insurance and Medical Plan, Wilson Sporting Goods Co. provides life insurance benefits to salaried employees who joined the Company before January 1, 1999 and hourly employees who joined the Company before January 1, 2003 (November 22, 2004 for union employees). The Post Retirement Life Insurance and Medical Plan grants post-employment benefits.

USA Post Retirement Disabled Life Insurance and LTD Medical Plan

According to the plan, Wilson Sporting Goods Co. provides post retirement life insurance benefits to employees who were disabled prior to 2012 with coverage ending at age 65. The plan grants post-employment benefits.

Assets are invested in Mobius Life as institutional investment platform and held for the purpose of paying pensions and other benefits in accordance with the Trust Deed & Rules. The plan was closed to new entrants for pension benefits with effect from January 1, 2003 and was closed to future accrual of benefits with effect from January 31, 2008.

Austria Severance Payment schemes OLD

Amer Sports Austria GmbH, Amer Sports Holding GmbH and Atomic Austria GmbH have to pay a statutory amount, which is based on the employee’s seniority at time of retirement, expressed as a defined number of month’s salary. Payment is due in the event of resignation, such as early termination with entitlement to severance payment (e.g., in the event of termination by the employer or termination by mutual consent), old- age pension (“Alterspension”), disability (“Berufsunfähigkeit”) or death. The unfunded Severance Payment Schemes OLD grants post-employment benefits. The payment scheme was closed by law for new entrants after December 31, 2002.

In the USA the former Retirement Income Plan was merged into the Hourly Pension Plan in 2022, renamed the Wilson Retirement Pension Plan, effective December 31, 2022. The merger of the plan is based on the status achieved as at December 31, 2022, and therefore has no accounting and/or presentation implications for the consolidated financial statements.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in one assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

No asset-liability matching is used to determine the investment strategy.

Equity securities and government bonds have quoted prices in active markets.

Through its defined pension plans the Company is exposed to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk, inflation risk and mortality risk.

The main risk is that additional contributions are required if investment returns are not sufficient to pay for the benefits. The level of equity returns is a key determinant of overall investment return. The investment portfolio is also subject to a range of other risks typical to asset classes held.

A decrease in discount rates, a rise in inflation or an increase in life expectancy would result in an increase in plan liabilities. This would detrimentally impact the position in the consolidated statement of financial position and may give rise to increased cost in the consolidated statement of loss. This effect would be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plan’s bond holdings. Additionally, caps on inflationary increases are in place to protect the plan against extreme inflation.

The estimated contributions to the pension plans are USD 4.1 million during 2024.

The weighted average of the duration of the defined benefit obligations was 10.7 years in 2023, 9.5 years in 2022 and 11.7 years in 2021 (continuing operations).

Impairment losses by asset type

In July 2023, the Company made a change in its CGUs to align with the way it now manages its business, and accounted for such change in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The Salomon equipment operations, previously part of the CGU Winter Sports Equipment, were transferred to the CGU Salomon Apparel and Footwear and the CGU was renamed to Salomon in the course of the restructuring. The Group was required, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, to allocate assets and liabilities, including goodwill, between the two CGUs. Goodwill was reallocated based on relative fair value in accordance with IAS 36.87. Goodwill and trademarks transferred from the CGU Winter Sports Equipment to the CGU Salomon amounted to USD 74.2 million and USD 146.3 million as of July 1, 2023, respectively.

On another note, the financial forecasts for the CGU Ball & Racquet Sports were extended in 2023 to include forecasts on the CGU’s softgood product portfolio, which were not included in prior periods given its limited significance.

In 2023, no impairment losses on goodwill and trademarks were recorded.

In 2022, impairment on goodwill amounting to USD 179.0 million and on trademarks amounting to USD 19.1 million was recognized for Peak Performance. The recoverable amount for Peak Performance as of December 31, 2022 was USD 197.2 million and was based on value-in-use calculations.

In 2021, no impairment losses on goodwill and trademarks were recorded in the continuing operations.

Impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as trademarks, are performed when the management has identified indications of impairment or once a year when business plans for the next strategic planning horizon are approved by the management. The Group management uses assumptions in respect of future market and economic conditions, such as economic growth, expected inflation rates, expected market share, revenue and margin developments.

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 for continuing operations are the following: Winter Sports Equipment (previously included Salomon equipment operations in 2021 and 2022), Salomon (previously Salomon Apparel and Footwear in 2021 and 2022), Arc’teryx Apparel and Gear, Ball & Racquet Sports and Peak Performance. Discontinued operations are discussed in note 29.

The impairment tests were calculated as of December 31 of 2023, 2022, and 2021 respectively. The recoverable amounts of all CGUs were determined by the higher of fair value less cost of disposal and value in use (“VIU”). VIU has been calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each CGU. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from external and internal sources. The key assumptions used in the estimation of the value in use are set out below.

The VIU of all CGUs were determined by cash flow projections based on a 10-year financial forecast, of which the first 5-years were prepared by management and approved by the board. To better reflect the medium-term growth expectations for the CGU in growing markets, financial forecast after first 5-year period are extrapolated for a further 5-years using declining growth rates which reduces the year five growth rate down to the long-term growth rate as shown below.

The following table shows the revenue growth rates of the 5-year financial forecast prepared by management (average of the first five years) for the respective CGUs:

The terminal value is derived from Gordon Growth model. The perpetuity growth is 2% which is in line with the managements view on long-term inflation, indicating no growth in real terms. In some cases, when management expects above or below average growth after the estimated period, the terminal growth rate may rise to 3% or drop to 1%.

Impairment Loss in 2022:

Due to the significant rise in the discount rate used in impairment testing and the recent change of strategic plan for the Peak Performance business, an impairment on goodwill of USD 179.0 million and an impairment on trademarks of USD 19.1 million for Peak Performance business was recognized in 2022.

Amer Sports brands are well known and established in their respective markets. Products sold under these brands have been available to customers for a long period of time and they have been used by top athletes for decades. Amer Sports focuses on brand awareness and on the quality and performance of the products sold under those brands. The brands will continue to generate positive cash flow, hence they are not subject to amortization.

Goodwill and trademarks have been allocated to CGUs as described in the table below.

*Note: In July 2023, the Salomon equipment operations, previously part of the CGU Winter Sports Equipment, were transferred to the CGU Salomon Apparel and Footwear and the CGU was renamed to Salomon in the course of the restructuring. Goodwill and trademarks for CGU Winter Sports Equipment and CGU Salomon as of December 31, 2022 are before the transfer of Salomon equipment operations in July 2023.

Sensitivity Analysis:

The estimated recoverable amount of Peak Performance exceeded its carrying amount by USD 79.3 million and USD 14.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Also, the estimated recoverable amount of Winter Sports Equipment exceeded its carrying amount by USD 114.6 million and USD 38.9 million as of December 31 2023, and 2022, respectively.

The assumptions applied by management for calculating the recoverable amount are sensitive to change and could cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount. The following table shows the amount by which these two assumptions would need to change individually for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to the carrying amount.

**Note: For the year ended December 31, 2022, management has performed an annual impairment testing for the CGU of Peak Performance. Within the range of possible estimated recoverable amounts, management has taken a prudent approach and recognized a full goodwill impairment and allocated the remaining impairment amount to trademarks.

Based on the valuation of the other CGUs, management is of the view that there are no reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions of other CGUs that would cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 and Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2023

The Board approved the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2023 (“2023 ESOP”) in January 2023. The objectives of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 (“2019 ESOP”) and 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, except for stock options granted to certain employees which allow them to elect for shares or cash settlement.

The maximum number of options under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP that may be granted is 3% 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 a 5-year period and 3-year period for 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP respectively, 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. No share-based payment expenses for equity-settled awards and cash-settled awards have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 since the occurrence of an exit event was not yet deemed probable.

The number and weighted-average exercise prices of share options under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP were as follows:

Included in the above options are cash-settled awards granted to certain employees. On January 16, 2021, May 20, 2021 and March 30, 2022, the Group granted 345,662, 34,566 and 92,177 options, respectively, to certain employees who can elect shares or cash settlement. The exercise price of these options granted was EUR 23.6. These options expire at November 27, 2029. The payoff of cash settlement, where applicable, is determined based on the share price of the Company at the time of exercise less the exercise price and relevant taxes.

The options outstanding at December 31, 2023 had a weighted average exercise price of EUR 35.79 and a remaining contractual life of 6 years. No options were exercised during the reporting periods.

Included in the above options are cash-settled awards granted to certain employees. On April 6, 2023, the Group granted 19,588 options to an employee who can elect shares or cash settlement. The exercise price of these options granted was EUR 32.20. These options expire at December 31, 2029. The payoff of cash settlement, where applicable, is determined based on the share price of the Company at the time of exercise less the exercise price and relevant taxes.

At December 28, 2023, the Group increased the exercise prices of certain options granted under 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP, with a cash compensation payable upon vesting. The incremental fair value of the modified options at the date of the modification was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. For equity-settled awards, an incremental compensation cost will be recognized as an expense over the remaining vesting period from modification date, in addition to the remaining unamortized expense for the original options. The incremental expenses of the modified options were deemed immaterial. For cash-settled awards, the modified terms have been reflected in the remeasurement of the liability as of December 31, 2023.

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. 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.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values of equity-settled awards as at respective grant dates and the re-measurement of the fair values of cash- settled awards as at period end dates were as follows:

The table above shows a reconciliation between tax expense (2023: USD 104.2 million, 2022: USD 48.3 million, 2021: USD 34.7 million) and the product of the loss from continuing operations before income tax expense (2023: USD 104.6 million, 2022: USD 182.6 million, 2021: USD 89.8 million) multiplied by the average tax rate (2023: -100%; 2022: -26%, 2021: -39%). The average tax rate is a quotient from the Group’s loss and tax expense. The negative result was due to negative earnings before taxes, mainly impacted by the non-deductible interest expenses in some jurisdictions, while certain other jurisdictions generated high taxable income. In addition, in 2023 and 2022, there were impairment charges for book purposes for which no deferred taxes could be recorded. The taxes at local rates applicable to earnings in countries concerned (2023: USD 53.0 million, 2022: USD -4.3 million, 2021: USD -9.5 million) include the aggregate of income taxes prepared by using the local statutory rate in each individual jurisdiction. The major reconciling items to total tax include unrecognized deferred tax assets from unused interest expense and tax losses, uncertain tax positions, and tax credits/withholding taxes, which are disclosed in the respective line items.

The other temporary differences comprise mostly of non-deductible interest expenses. No deferred tax assets have been recognized for above mentioned unused tax losses and other temporary differences since their utilization in full in the near future is not probable or the losses have been created in countries where the possibilities for their utilization are limited. For the assessment of probability, in addition to past performance and the respective prospects for the foreseeable future, appropriate tax structuring measures are also taken into consideration. The major part of the unrecognized deferred tax assets originated in Finland.

Amer Sports does not recognize deferred tax liabilities for unremitted earnings of subsidiaries to the extent that they are expected to be permanently invested in international operations. These earnings, the amount of which cannot be practicably computed, could become subject to additional tax if they were remitted as dividends or if the Company were to sell the shareholdings in the subsidiaries.

Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which Amer Sports operates. The legislation will be effective for Amer Sports’s financial year beginning January 1, 2024. As a result, Amer Sports falls within the scope of Pillar Two legislation and has conducted an assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes.

This assessment is founded upon the most recent country-by-country reporting information and IFRS financial data of the relevant jurisdictions. Following the assessment, it has been determined that almost all of jurisdictions except two sales entity jurisdictions where the Group operates, qualify for the transitional safe harbor.

While Amer Sports has implemented a process to evaluate the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes, as of the date of this reporting, quantitative information indicating potential exposure in these jurisdictions is not currently known or reasonably estimable. Amer Sports is actively progressing on this assessment and anticipates its completion in the first quarter of the financial year 2024.

Furthermore, the Group has availed itself of the temporary exception issued by the IASB in May 2023 from the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12. Consequently, Amer Sports neither recognizes nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Since the Pillar Two legislation was not effective at the reporting date, Amer Sports has no related current tax exposure.

15.OTHER NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OCI AND CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Other non-current financial assets

Other non-current financial assets at fair value through OCI consist of shares in unlisted companies and amounted to USD 9.2 million and USD 8.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

On initial recognition, the Group designated the investments in unlisted companies to be measured at FVOCI since they are not held for trading.

Liesheng, one of the Group’s financial assets at FVOCI, was impaired in 2022. Shares of Liesheng are not traded in an active market and its fair value is determined using valuation techniques. The fair value of the Group’s investment in Liesheng as of December 31, 2022 was determined to be USD 8.5 million using the market approach. The Group made USD 10.9 million impairment on the investment in Liesheng and the loss was recognized in other comprehensive income and loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and at bank amounting to USD 483.4 million and USD 402.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As in previous years, these balances were not subject to any utilization restrictions in 2023. However, the repatriation of funds from Russia is currently only possible to a limited extent.

VALUATION PROVISIONS OF INVENTORIES

The Group periodically reviews its inventories for excess amounts, obsolescence and declines in market value below cost and records an allowance against the inventory balance for any such declines. These reviews require management to estimate future demand for products. If the future demand for Groups products was weaker than anticipated or the market conditions deteriorated, the value of inventories would likely have to be written down.

Minor part of the guarantees relates to the sold Precor business. In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, such guarantees are the buyer’s responsibility commencing from the date of purchase and are expected to be released in 2024.

Other commitments are primarily due to long-term endorsement contracts with several professional and non-professional leagues, particularly in the United States, and contracts with brand ambassadors. A certain major contract with the NBA covers a period lasting until the end of 2031, while other contracts are more short-term.

There are no guarantees or contingencies given for the management of the Group, for the shareholders, or for the associated companies.

Ongoing litigations

The Group has extensive international operations and is involved in a number of legal proceedings, including product liability suits. These litigations are assessed on an ongoing basis by evaluating the probability of any potential financial impact. During the fiscal year 2023, the Group accounted for USD 3.3 million expenses related to a certain litigation in connection with the divestiture of a business unit.

Management does not consider the outcome of any other legal proceedings currently pending as probable and does not expect any materially adverse effect on the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss or consolidated statement of financial position.

Carrying amounts of current financial instruments carried at amortized cost are reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short-term nature. Carrying amounts of loans from financial institutions, loans from related parties, and other interest-bearing liabilities approximate their fair values because the loans are at floating rate.

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 Groups 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 fiscal years.

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.

The following table show the valuation technique used in measuring level 3 fair values for financial instruments in the consolidated 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.

As of each reporting year end, the Group analyses the level 3 fair values and performs an assessment of the movements, if any. The Group may engage external valuation experts to perform valuation on the level 3 fair value if the amount involved is significant or the valuation process requires significant judgement. For example, the Group engaged external valuation experts to perform valuation on its investment in Liesheng in 2022.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT  
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

28.FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Amer Sports, Inc. is exposed to customary financial risks such as commodity price risks, inflation risks, funding and liquidity risks, foreign exchange and interest rate risks, counterparty and credit risks.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

Amer Sports is exposed to commodity and other price risk, including from rubber, nylon, polyester and steel, aluminum and other materials, which we either purchase directly or in a converted form such as fabric, as well as other inputs, including energy, transportation and logistics services. To manage risks of commodity price changes, management negotiates prices in advance when possible. Amer Sports has not historically managed commodity price exposures by using derivative instruments.

INFLATION RISK

Inflationary pressures have recently increased, and may continue to increase, the costs of labor, raw materials and other inputs for Amer Sports products. Amer Sports has experienced, and may continue to experience, higher than expected inflation, including escalating transportation, commodity and other supply chain costs and disruptions. If our costs are subject to significant inflationary pressures, Amer Sports may not be able to offset such higher costs through price increases, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations or financial condition.

Funding and liquidity risks, foreign exchange and interest rate risks, counterparty, and credit risks are managed by Amer Sports Treasury, which acts as an in-house bank providing financial services for subsidiaries within the Amer Sports Group. The Treasury related operational risk management is governed by the Groups Treasury Policy which includes principles and risk limits. Amer Sports Treasury follows and monitors operational risks constantly and does not allow any material deviations from the Treasury Policy.

As a consequence of the Group’s ownership change, the Senior Facilities Agreement signed on March 20, 2019, is a cornerstone of Amer Sports funding and hence provides both options and limitations to activities that relate to funding and liquidity management. The agreement has been signed by financing banks, Amer Sports Holding 1 Oy (former Mascot Midco 1 Oy) as the parent and Amer Sports Holding Oy (former Mascot Bidco Oy) as the Company.

Under the historical ownership structure, the general availability of funding and liquidity including the management of the related risks was arranged in close co-operation with the parent company.

FUNDING RISK

Funding risk is the risk that Amer Sports, Inc. will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with existing financial instruments.

In 2023, 2022 and 2021 Amer Sports, Inc.’s subsidiaries incurred financial commitments, as described below.

In February 2021, Amer Sports European Center AG incurred a USD 35 million short-term loan to finance Amer Sports Group’s payments to certain vendors in Asia.

In April 2021, Amer Sports Company and Amer Sports Canada Inc., Arc’teryx division repaid the EUR 100 million term loan raised in 2020 in full prior to maturity.

In 2022, no new external financing arrangements were finalized. However, Amer Sports European Center AG’s USD 35 million short-term loan was extended by 12 months.

In 2022, minority share investors invested equity and debt through the related party entity Amer Sports Amer Sports Management Company (Cayman) Limited. The invested debt was EUR 10.5 million, pays floating rate interest and matures in 2029.

In February 2023, Amer Sports European Center AG’s short-term loan totalling to USD 35 million was extended by 12 months. In February 2023 and in October 2023, Amer Sports European Center AG incurred a USD 15 million and a USD 40 million short-term loan to finance Amer Sports Group’s payments to certain vendors in Asia.

LIQUIDITY RISK

At an operational level, the Group’s liquidity risks revolve around its cyclical need for working capital and such expenses are a significant factor in shaping its overall liquidity strategy. Typically, the highest level of working capital has been reached in the third quarter, when short-term debt is tied up in inventories and accounts receivable.

The term loan B was fully drawn in 2019 and no prepayment was done until end of 2023.

A USD 348 million (EUR 315 million) revolving credit facility limit is part of the Senior Facilities Agreement and is intended to assist with Amer Sports’ short-term liquidity needs.

Amer Sports Treasury has established several cash pooling structures with the Group’s relationship banks in order to manage the liquidity of the Group. Treasury Policy sets guidelines for the management of liquidity that is outside cash pooling structures.

Liquidity in excess of operating needs may be invested inline with the Treasury Policy and the Senior Facilities Agreement.

The below table is a breakdown of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivatives in their contractual maturities.

The statement of financial position values of the derivatives have been recorded as they are disclosed in the Groups statement of financial position and fair value reserve, and therefore cannot be reconciled with their actual fair values.

CURRENCY RISK

Transaction risk arises from foreign currency denominated receivables and liabilities, cash flows in foreign currencies and derivatives. Translation risk relates to the foreign currency denominated earnings when they are translated into USD. Amer Sports has operations in most of the major currency areas, and its sales are diversified in multiple currencies. On the business unit level, transaction risk arises when the unit sells in its home currency but the cost base is in foreign currencies or sells or buys goods in foreign currencies. Amer Sports’ risk management is aiming to eliminate material uncertainties relating to foreign exchange rates.

At the end of the year, Amer Sports’ currency position consisted of intercompany and external interest-free and interest-bearing foreign currency denominated receivables and liabilities and foreign exchange derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives include both balance sheet and cash flow hedges.

Balance sheet risks have been managed by financing Amer Sports’ subsidiaries in their functional currencies. The risks have been concentrated on the centralized distribution and purchasing units that invoice the subsidiaries in their respective functional currencies. Amer Sports’ risk for the consolidated statement of financial position arises from internal and external liabilities in foreign currencies.

The following table sets out the foreign exchange positions in the most significant currencies at the reporting date:

Earnings sensitivity before taxes is influenced by changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not used in hedge accounting and on-balance hedging derivative instruments as well as changes in the value of on-balance currency-denominated loans and receivables. Shareholders’ equity (deficit) is mainly affected by changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used in hedge accounting recognized under the hedge reserve.

According to Amer Sports’ hedging policy, the transaction risk arising from subsidiaries’ business operations is hedged between 12-24 months. In practice, the hedge ratios are higher for closer months than for later months. The hedge ratio is maintained between 55% and 95% of 24 months cash flow, except in currencies with high interest rate where the hedge horizon is 12-18 months. Hedge ratios are monitored daily. The hedged cash flow is expected to be realized during the following 12-24 months. Amer Sports hedges only annual cash flows or other exposures with a value of over EUR 5.0 million. Amer Sports temporarily shortened the hedging horizon to 15 months and in 2023 has managed to reach longer tenors again, but not yet in the extent of the Treasury Policy.

Amer Sports applies hedge accounting to the forecasted sales or purchases in foreign currencies related to its operating activities for cash flows with a counter value of over EUR 10 million per currency pair in the entity. The effectiveness is assessed quarterly by analysing the critical terms. The critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted hedged transactions are significantly the same. The forecasted hedged transactions are expected to occur in the same fiscal month as the maturity date of the hedging instrument, and therefore, the hedge is expected to be effective. Subsequent assessments of effectiveness are performed by verifying and documenting whether the critical terms of the hedging instrument and forecasted hedged transactions have changed during the period in review and whether it remains probable. If there are no such changes in critical terms, the Group will continue to conclude that the hedging relationship is effective. Sources of ineffectiveness, including timing differences in the settlement of forecasted hedged transactions and hedging instruments, and changes in credit risk of the hedging instruments, are not considered material.

Foreign exchange differences of foreign exchange derivatives are recognized as hedging reserve while interest rate differentials related to the foreign exchange derivatives are recorded through the consolidated statement of loss.

According to its Treasury Policy, Amer Sports may hedge 0 to 50% of subsidiaries’ equity. At the end of 2023 and 2022, there were no outstanding equity hedges or net investment hedges.

INTEREST RISK

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk when it funds its group operations with external debt. The risk arises from the repricing of floating rate debt and with the raising of new floating rate debt. A fixed rate debt is subject to fair value risk. The purpose of interest rate risk management is to bring predictability for interest expenses. Amer Sports Treasury may hedge the outstanding or forthcoming interest rate position of Amer Sports Group by using interest rate derivatives defined in the Treasury Policy.

The duration of the loans in Amer Sports, Inc. was 1 month in 2023, 1 month in 2022 and 3 months in 2021. 10% of the debt portfolio was at fixed rate as of December 31, 2023, 2% in 2022 and 2% in 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents are excluded from the interest rate risk portfolio of the group due to their short-term nature.

The sensitivity of the consolidated statement of loss contains changes in interest expenses for the next 12 months due to an increase/decrease of 1% in market interest rates, provided that other factors remain unchanged.

The below table illustrates the sensitivity of the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and the consolidated statement of loss to an increase of 1% in interest rates, provided that other factors remain unchanged. The sensitivity is calculated to interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate floors are excluded from the calculations.

The effective interest rate of the debt used for financing was 6.2% in 2023, 4.0% in 2022 and 4.2% in 2021. The effective interest rate is calculated by taking into account interest expenses, financing expenses and derivatives’ expenses.

The average interest rate of the Group’s interest-bearing debt was 6.3% in 2023, 4.0% in 2022 and 3.6% in 2021.

The Group has outstanding non-hedge accounting related interest rate derivatives. The derivates used to hedge floating rate loans that have been repaid. Although the original loans were repaid, it was decided to maintain these derivatives as a protection against interest rate risks related to the new funding.

The expected impact from interest rate benchmark reform concerning IBOR reference rates replacement is considered to be limited for Amer Sports, since the majority of the Group’s external contracts are tied to EURIBOR reference rates. Amer Sports’ IBOR exposure is mainly related to USD LIBOR linked external short term loans and funding that amounted to USD 155 million as of December 31, 2022 and have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate. USD LIBOR publication ceased after June 2023.

CREDIT RISK

Amer Sports, Inc. is exposed to customary credit risk through accounts receivables that are held in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position. The Company has a global customer base, and there are no significant risk concentrations. The largest single customer accounts for 4% of total accounts receivable and the largest 20 combined total about 32%. At the end of year 2023 the actual payment time for the outstanding sales was 49 days.

Amer Sports uses credit insurance in most of the countries in EMEA and Japan to protect against the risk of non-payment and to secure sales up to predefined limits.

Excess liquidity can be placed to the market according to the Treasury Policy’s and the Senior Facilities Agreement’s credit criteria and limits.

The credit risk arising from Amer Sports’ derivatives is considered low. The risk is minimized by careful selection of counterparties, their limited share of the total portfolio and by monitoring counterparties’ creditworthiness and outstanding liabilities towards Amer Sports.

The following table sets out the consolidated statement of financial position values or fair values of financial assets which represent the maximum amount of the credit risk at the reporting dates:

Factoring

A subsidiary of the Group entered into a factoring agreement, originally in 2013 and subsequently amended and restated in 2022, with a third-party banking institution (“Factor”), pursuant to which the Group agreed to sell accounts receivable up to a limit of USD 50 million in exchange for advanced funding equal to 100% of the principal value of the invoice on a non-recourse basis. Information on accounts receivable identified for factoring are provided and verified by the Factor prior to being accepted for factoring. The Group is charged a fee of commission of 0.4% on the basis of purchased gross invoice amount, and an adjustment rate of the Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.50% per annum, based on the number of days between the purchase date and the settlement date. The program is in place for certain approved US based obligors. The year-end value of uncollected receivables transferred as part of the factoring program was USD 39.4 million as of December 31, 2023 and USD 34.6 million as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total accounts receivable balances transferred to the Factor amounted to USD 232.9 million and USD 116.2 million, respectively.

The Group entered into a new receivables financing arrangements between two other subsidiaries and with a third-party banking institution (“Factor in EMEA”) on December 15, 2023. The year-end value of uncollected receivables transferred as part of the factoring program was USD 57.9 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 the total accounts receivable balances transferred to the Factor in EMEA amounted to USD 57.9 million. There is no recourse or other liability included in the program. The financial expenses of the program didn’t produce material impact on the financial result of the Group given the start in late December 2023.

The fair value of the continuing involvement in the transferred trade receivables amounted to USD 0.7 million for the US program and USD 0.9 million for the EMEA program as of December 31, 2023, which corresponds to the maximum payment and the undiscounted cash outflows the Group might have to pay in case of late payment. The Group has assessed that significantly all risks and rewards of the transferred accounts receivables have been transferred to the Factors. The Group only retains the risk of late payments of the underlying debtors, which has been considered immaterial for the consolidated financial statements. All of the potential cash outflows have a maturity of less than 12 months. The objective of Amer Sports sale of receivables arrangements is to balance the liquidity swings of the Group.

More than 120 days overdue accounts receivables are mainly related to the Group’s export business and specific payment plans have been agreed with the related distributors.

Bad debt write-offs amounted to USD 3.6 million in 2023, USD 4.2 million in 2022, and USD 4.0 million in 2021. The total impact on the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss from bad debt write-offs and the change in the receivable reserve amounted to USD 2.4 million in 2023, USD 3.6 million in 2022, and USD 0.7 million in 2021.

The Group had open receivable balances in Argentina related to a single distributor, which was not able to pay its outstanding invoice amounts due to abroad payment restrictions by the Central Bank of Argentina. Pursuant to an agreement reached, the related trade receivables were converted to a loan with a specific payment plan.

In the absence of such an election, financial assets and liabilities will be settled on a gross basis, however, each party to the master netting arrangement or similar agreement will have the option to settle all such amounts on a net basis in the event of default of the other party.

Ltd (“Liesheng”), a leading Chinese technology company focusing on the smart & sport wearables electronics segment, in regards to the disposal of Suunto. The asset and liabilities of the disposal group were classified as held-for-sale and it was concluded that the disposal group qualifies as a discontinued operation. On December 28, 2021, an agreement was reached with Liesheng to acquire the Suunto business subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The assets and liabilities of the disposal group were classified as held-for-sale and it was concluded that the disposal group qualifies as a discontinued operation. The transaction was closed and the transfer of ownership took place on April 1, 2021. The gain upon disposal, before taxes, upon the sale of the Precor business amounted to USD 116.0 million and is reported under loss from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Management has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2023 and through March 18, 2024, the date these consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors. The following events which occurred subsequent to December 31, 2023 merited disclosure in these consolidated financial statements. Management determined that no adjustments were required to the figures presented as a result of these events.

IPO and refinancing activities

On January 31, 2024, the Company’s initial public offering (including the proceeds from the exercise of the overallotment option described below, together with the use of proceeds therefrom, the “Amer Sports IPO”) priced and its ordinary shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “AS” on February 1, 2024.

The Amer Sports IPO closed on February 5, 2024, raising USD 1.37 billion in gross proceeds, and the underwriters subsequently exercised a portion of their overallotment option to purchase additional shares, raising USD 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, raising an additional USD 102.4 million in further additional gross proceeds.

Immediately prior to the completion of the Amer Sports 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 Amer Sports IPO, the Company had 384,499,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the Amer Sports IPO the Company has 505,249,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

On February 16, 2024 the Company entered into a new credit agreement, providing for (i) a new 7-year USD 500 million term loan facility, (ii) a new 7-year EUR 700 million term loan facility and (iii) a new USD 710 million 5-year revolving credit facility (together, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Company also issued USD 800 million of 6.750% new senior secured notes on the same day.

Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, a portion in the amount of approximately USD 2.60 billion of Loans from related parties (comprised of the Investment Loan and Facility A loan), with a carrying value of USD 4.08 billion as of December 31, 2023, were equitized (the “Equitization”).

The net proceeds of the Amer Sports IPO, together with the net proceeds from the USD 500 million term loan facility, the EUR 700 million term loan facility and the USD 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 USD 1.86 billion as of December 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 USD 90 million and USD 291 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023 (both recorded within current interest-bearing liabilities).

Share-based incentive plans (ESOP)

In connection with the Amer Sports IPO and prior to the vesting of the option awards under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP, the Company made modification of the terms of the awards. On January 4, 2024, the exercise price of all options was converted from euros to U.S. dollars. On January 22, 2024, all cash-settled options were modified and changed to equity-settled options. The Company is currently still assessing the accounting impact of these modifications.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain accounting estimates. The areas that require a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed below.

The consolidated financial statements for the Group have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 18, 2024.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company and include all subsidiaries over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Companies acquired during the financial year have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control was obtained. Similarly, divested subsidiaries are included up to the date when control has been relinquished.

The ownership of the subsidiary shares within the Group are eliminated using the acquisition method. The transferred consideration and all the identifiable assets and liabilities of an acquired company are measured at fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recognized as the amount by which the total transferred consideration exceeds the fair value of the acquired net assets.

Intercompany transactions, profit distribution as well as intercompany receivables, liabilities and unrealized gains between Group companies are eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts have been reclassified from prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Macroeconomic environment

Macroeconomic environment

The major events that impacted the business of the Group during the reporting periods were the Russia-Ukraine war, price inflation and increased interest rates.

Russia-Ukraine conflict

As a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed against Russia, the Group put all its shipments to Russia on hold on February 26, 2022 and suspended all significant commercial activities in Russia by the end of fiscal year 2022 indefinitely, including store, e-commerce channels, and shipments to the Company’s wholesale partners. The Group’s sales in Russia were USD 56.0 million in 2021 and decreased to USD 18.7 million in 2022 and USD 6.9 million in 2023. The total assets of our Russian subsidiary ASRUS ZAO Amer Sports amounted to USD 22.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and USD 15.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company maintains a leased office space in Russia and a limited number of employees to safeguard the operations of the entity, file statutory financial statements and monitor the local market to secure the Company’s global brand assets.

Price inflation and increased interest rates

Amer Sports encountered rising costs in energy, logistics, labor, and other aspects of its business model. Furthermore, macro-economic factors such as increasing interest rates may contribute to a potential recession in specific markets. These uncertainties could temporarily impact overall customer demand. Nonetheless, the Company addresses inflation by adjusting customer prices, aligning them with expected increases in recommended retail prices from suppliers when determining its own price adjustments.

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Assets or a disposal group of assets and liabilities is categorized as held for sale when the economic benefits gained from it will be accrued primarily from its sale rather than from continuous use. Assets or disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and disclosed as a separate line item in the consolidated statement of financial position. These assets are not amortized or depreciated.

An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset or a disposal group to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset or a disposal group, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the sale of the non-current asset or a disposal group is recognized at the date of derecognition.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Groups business that has been disposed of or will be disposed of in accordance with a coordinated plan. It represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations. Any gain or loss from disposal, together with the profit or loss of a discontinued operation until the date of disposal, is reported separately from income and expenses of the continuing operations in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. The prior periods in these statements are presented on a comparative basis. Intercompany income and expenses between continuing and discontinued operations are eliminated.

More details on the assets held for sale and discontinued operations are disclosed under note 29.

New and amended standards and interpretations

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, 2023:

IFRS 17: Insurance contracts – no material impact
IAS 1 and IFRS Practice statement 2 (amendment): Disclosure of Accounting Policies – no material impact
IAS 8 (amendment): Definition of Accounting Estimates – no material impact
IAS 12 (amendment): Deferred tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – no material impact
Small changes to various standards or interpretations as part of the annual improvements to IFRS project – no material impact

New IFRS standards not yet effective

The following standards that are issued but not yet effective will be adopted in 2024 or later:

IAS 1 (amendment): Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non- current liabilities with Covenants
IFRS 16 (amendment): Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback
IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (amendment): Supplier finance arrangements
IAS 21 (amendment): Lack of exchangeability

Management has concluded that the adoption of any of the above accounting pronouncements, that were issued but not effective for the period ended December 31, 2023, will not have a material impact on the Groups consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency transactions and translation

Foreign currency transactions and translation

The Companys consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. The functional currency of the parent company is EUR, while the functional currency for each subsidiary is its local currency or the currency in which the subsidiary mainly operates. Transactions involving the translation to the respective functional currencies of values denominated in foreign currencies are classified as monetary or non-monetary, thereby defining the measurement and recognition of foreign currency translation gains and losses applicable to a transaction.

The Group companies record transactions in foreign currencies at the rate on the transaction date or at an estimated rate sufficiently close to the rate on the transaction date. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are outstanding at the end of the financial year are translated at the closing rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses related to operational transactions are presented within operating expenses above Operating profit. Exchange rate gains and losses on foreign currency-denominated loans and other receivables and liabilities connected with financing transactions are recorded at their net values as finance income and expenses.

The consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss is translated into U.S. dollars by consolidating each calendar month separately using the actual daily average for the month, whereby the sum of the twelve calendar months represents the whole year. Translation differences arising from the translation of the net investment in non-U.S. operations are booked to translation differences in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the accumulated amount of translation differences relating to the disposed foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party. These include both non-derivative financial instruments, such as accounts receivables and payables, and derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts.

Financial assets

Financial assets

Categorization and measurement

In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, financial assets are categorized as:

I.financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

II.financial assets measured at amortized cost

III.financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and loss (OCI)

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset and the Groups business model for managing them. All purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Derivatives are classified at fair value through profit and loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. Assets in this category are classified as current assets, except for maturities over 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: 

the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. Financial assets are included in current assets, except for maturities over 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The Groups financial assets at amortized cost include accounts receivables, other non-current financial assets and other non-interest yielding receivables.

The Group measures financial assets at fair value through OCI (FVOCI) if both of the following conditions are met:

the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

For financial assets at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in OCI.

Financial assets at fair value through OCI are measured at their fair value by applying the market prices at the balance sheet date or some other determination of value used by the Company. The change in fair value is presented in fair value and other reserves under shareholders equity. Fair value changes are transferred from shareholders equity to the consolidated statement of loss when the asset is sold or its value has been impaired such that an impairment loss must be recognized. Financial assets at fair value through OCI whose fair value cannot be determined reliably are measured at cost or a lower value if they are impaired. Financial assets at fair value through OCI are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group substantially transferred all rewards and risks associated with the ownership. In the case of sales of trade receivables, essentially all rewards and risks are transferred to the buyer of the receivables.

Impairment

Loss allowances are recognized for expected credit losses (ECL) on a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through OCI. For trade receivables, the Group adopts the so-called simplified approach, which does not require the recognition of periodic changes in credit risk, but rather the accounting of an expected credit loss calculated over the entire life of the credit (lifetime ECL) according to the provision matrix approach. ECLs of accounts receivable are measured on a collective basis. The grouping is based on geographical region, customer rating, the type of collateral or whether the receivables are covered by trade credit insurance as well as the type of customer. The ECL model is forward-looking and the expected default rates are based on the realized losses in the past based on the previous three years considering the time value of money, probability-weighted outcome, supportable information available without undue cost or effort about the past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The lifetime ECL allowances are calculated using the gross carrying amounts of the outstanding trade receivables and the expected default rates with probability-weighted outcomes. The historically observed default rates are updated annually. In addition, forward-looking specific provision is prepared in cases where the basic ECL allowance based on the historical loss data does not cover expected losses, which includes the impact of expected changes in the economic, regulatory and technological environment (such as industry outlook, GDP, employment, politics), and external market indicators. The estimates are based on a systematic, on-going review and evaluation performed as part of the credit-risk evaluation process. The specific provision is updated on a quarterly basis.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities

In accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, financial liabilities are categorized as:

I.

financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

II.financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include derivatives that are classified at fair value through profit and loss unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are initially carried at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount of financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities, except for maturities over 12 months after the balance sheet date, in which case they are classified as long-term liabilities.

Current financial liabilities include current interest-bearing liabilities, accounts payables and other current liabilities. Accounts payables correspond primarily to trade payables. They also include payables that have been transferred to a vendor financing program, as there is no material difference in the nature or terms of the liabilities compared to other trade payables.

Long-term financial liabilities include long-term loans from financial institutions, loans from related parties and other liabilities.

Derivatives

Derivatives

The Groups derivative instruments may include foreign exchange forward contracts and options, interest rate swaps, interest rate options and cross-currency swaps. Foreign exchange forward contracts and options are used to hedge against changes in the value of receivables and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and interest rate swaps and interest rate options to hedge against interest rate risk. Cross-currency swaps are used to hedge against changes in value of foreign currency denominated receivables and liabilities and against interest rate risk.

Foreign exchange forward contracts and options, interest rate swaps and options and cross currency swaps are measured at fair value on the day that the Group becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent measurement is also at fair value. Foreign exchange derivatives are measured at fair value using the closing rates quoted by the European Central Bank on the reporting date together with common pricing models that are used for valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts and options. The fair values of interest rate and cross currency swaps are calculated as the current value of future cash flows. Interest rate options are valued with year-end interest rates together with common option pricing models.

Gains and losses from fair value measurement are treated in accordance with the purpose of the derivative financial instrument. For maturities below 12 months after the balance sheet date, the fair value of the derivatives is presented in prepaid expenses and other receivables or other liabilities. For maturities over 12 months, the fair value is presented in other non-current assets or other liabilities.

Changes in the value of derivative instruments, which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded as finance income and expenses, except for when they are associated with hedging the cash flow from operating activities, in which case they are recorded in other operating income and expenses.

Hedge accounting

Hedge accounting

The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting to foreign exchange derivatives that hedge material cash flows from operating activities. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is recognized in the fair value and other reserves under shareholders equity. Any ineffective component, however, will be immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. The cumulative change in gains or losses for the effective hedges is transferred to the income statement for the period when the hedged item is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

When a hedging instrument expires, is sold, or if the hedge does not meet the requirements set for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, any cumulative gain or loss recorded in equity remains in equity until the forecasted transaction is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. When the forecasted cash flow is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately recorded in other operating income and expenses in the case of an operating cash flow hedge.

When initiating hedge accounting, the Group documents the correlation between the hedged item and the hedging instruments, as well as the Groups risk management objective and hedge initiation strategy. The Group documents and evaluates the effectiveness of hedges when initiating hedging and on a quarterly basis by examining the degree to which the hedging instrument offsets changes in the fair value and cash flow of the hedged item.

The Group does not hedge the net investment in foreign subsidiary operations with derivatives.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises sale of products and services, and license fees. Revenue is presented net of value added tax, discounts, incentives, rebates earned by customers, and estimated returns.

Management applies the following five step model when determining the timing and amount of revenue recognition:

1.identifying the contracts with customers,
2.identifying the separate performance obligations,
3.determining the transaction price,
4.allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, and
5.recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the products and services are transferred to the customer in accordance with the terms of delivery at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those products and services in the ordinary course of the Groups activities.

Revenue recognized from services comprises mainly freight services in the Groups operating segments. The revenue from the freight services is recognized at a point in time upon the delivery of the goods when the control has been transferred to the customer.

The Group sells products and services through three channels: wholesale, own retail and ecommerce, with the latter two belonging to direct-to-consumer (DTC).

In wholesale, volume rebates, performance bonuses and payment term discounts are offered to certain major customers. The Group typically applies the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration for the expected future rebates and performance bonuses. Certain contracts provide wholesale customers with a right to return goods within a specified period. The Group recognizes a refund liability as a reduction of revenue and a corresponding right of return asset as reduction of cost of goods sold based on the expected future return rates derived from historical data.

In own retail and ecommerce, revenue is recognized when control of the products is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery to the customer or point of sale for sales in own retail stores. In ecommerce, the products sold online can be returned within 14-30 days of receipt of the products. For expected returns, the Group recognizes a refund liability as a reduction of revenue and a corresponding right of return asset as reduction of cost of goods sold based on the expected future return rates derived from historical data. A contract liability is recognized from the sale of gift cards in own retail and ecommerce. The Group expects to be entitled to a breakage amount. It recognizes breakage amount as revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by customers based on historical data.

The Group provides warranties that promise the customer that the delivered product is as typically specified in the contract and covers general repairs for defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

Revenue obtained from other companies is booked to license income when such companies manufacture or sell products bearing the Groups trademarks. License income based on fixed license agreements is recognized evenly throughout the financial year, while license income determined by sales volumes is recognized during the financial year as the licensee generates sales revenue. The non-refundable minimum guarantees related to certain licensing agreements are for functional intellectual properties, while the guarantee revenue is recognized at the point in time the control of the license is transferred to the customer.

Pension plans

Pension plans

The Groups pension arrangements comply with the local rules and practices of the countries where the Group operates. The Groups pension arrangements are either defined contribution or defined benefit plans. Under defined contribution based plans, the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and does not have any legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions. Under defined contribution plans, the Groups contributions are recorded as an expense in the period to which they relate.

Defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plans are partially or fully funded through payments to insurance companies or contributions to trustee-administered funds. In defined benefit plans, the pension expenses recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss are determined using the projected unit credit method, which calculates the present value of the obligation and the related service costs. The pension liability is measured by calculating the present value of future pension obligations, discounted using the market yield on high quality corporate bonds or government bonds in countries where there is no deep market for such bonds. The defined benefit plan asset is measured at fair market value as of the reporting date. The net liability (asset) recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present value of the pension obligation less the fair value of the plan assets.

All actuarial gains and losses relating to post-employment benefits are recognized in full in other comprehensive income and loss. For other long-term employee benefits, the Group recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the consolidated statement of loss. All past service costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss when the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs. Net interest expense (income) is determined based on the net defined benefit liability (asset) and the discount rate at the beginning of the year.

Expenses related to defined benefit post-employment plans are reported as follows:

service cost
net interest expense
remeasurement components under OCI. Actuarial gains and losses are not classified to the consolidated statement of loss in subsequent periods.
Share-based payments

Share-based payments

The Groups key employees have been granted options under two share-based incentive plans - the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 and Employee and Stock Ownership Plan 2023. Options settled in shares only are measured on the grant date. Options settled in cash or shares at the election of certain employees are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement. The share-based payments expense is recognized over the requisite service period with the offsetting credit to equity for options that are settled in shares, and with the offsetting credit to liabilities for options that are settled in cash or shares at the election of certain employees, when it is probable that the service vesting condition and non-market performance condition, if applicable, will be met.

When the terms or conditions of options granted to employees have been modified, the effect of modifications that increase the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement or are otherwise beneficial to the employees would be recognized. The incremental fair value granted is the difference between the fair value of the modified options and that of the original options, both estimated as at the date of the modification. When modification occurs during the vesting period, the incremental fair value granted is included in the measurement of the amount recognized for services received over the period from the modification date until the date when the modified options vest, in addition to the amount based on the grant date fair value of the original options, which is recognized over the remainder of the original vesting period. When a modification changes the classification of a share-based payment transaction from cash-settled award to equity-settled award, the liability for the cash-settled award is remeasured until the modification date and is reclassified to equity.

Income taxes

Income taxes

Current income taxes

Current income taxes comprise the taxes for the financial year calculated based on the result for the period and in accordance with the tax legislation of each companys local domicile as well as assessed or returned taxes for previous financial periods.

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on all temporary differences between the book and tax base of assets in accordance with the tax rate at the balance sheet date or with the substantially enacted future tax rate. Temporary differences arise from factors such as unused tax losses, depreciation differences, provisions, defined benefit pension plans, the fair valuation of derivative financial instruments, the internal inventory margin as well as measurements to fair value of assets in connection with business acquisitions. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized for unremitted earnings of subsidiaries to the extent that they are expected to be permanently invested in international operations. These earnings, the amount of which cannot be practicably computed, could become subject to additional tax if they were remitted as dividends or if the Company were to sell the shareholdings in the subsidiaries. A deferred tax asset is recognized as a result of unused tax losses and other temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that these can be utilized in future financial periods. For the assessment of probability, in addition to past performance and the respective prospects for the foreseeable future, appropriate tax structuring measures are also taken into consideration. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period or periods in which the tax loss or credit can be utilized.

Segment information

Segment information

The Groups organizational structure comprises the following reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Technical Apparel consisting of the brands Arcteryx and Peak Performance, Outdoor Performance consisting of the brands Salomon, Atomic, Armada and ENVE, and Ball & Racquet Sports consisting of the brands Wilson, Demarini, Louisville Slugger, Evoshield and ATEC. The Group reports revenue for four geographical areas: EMEA, Americas, Greater China and Asia Pacific excluding Greater China.

The CEO is the chief operating decision-maker who monitors the operating results of the segments to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation.

Business combinations

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values of the assets transferred, and liabilities incurred towards the former owners of the acquired entity. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss in the period in which the costs are incurred and the related services are received.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets

The Groups intangible assets and goodwill primarily result from the acquisition of Amer Sports Corporation and its subsidiaries by Amer Sports Holding Oy on April 1, 2019. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives comprise brand names and trademarks. As the brand names and trademarks are core to the business and as there is no foreseeable limit to the future cash flows generated by the intangible assets, brand names and trademarks are assessed as indefinitely lived. Brand names and trademarks with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment at least on an annual basis (see impairment of assets below). Impairment testing is performed by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset to its carrying value. Any resulting impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives

Intangible assets with a finite useful life consist of patents and software licenses, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of 3 to 15 years. Patents and software licenses are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment and if any impairment indication exists, the asset is then tested for impairment.

Development expenses are capitalized when they meet the recognition criteria in IAS 38 Intangible Assets and amortized during their useful lives.

The Group capitalizes development costs as intangible assets only when the following criteria are met:

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset exists,
there is an intent to complete and an ability to use or sell the intangible asset,
the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits,
there are adequate resources available to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and
there is the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets measured at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is stated at historical cost less any accumulated impairment losses and is not amortized. Goodwill has been allocated to the cash-generating units (CGU) and are tested for impairment annually and if there are triggering events by comparing the recoverable amount of a CGU to its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss, if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis in order to write down the cost of the assets to their residual values over their expected useful lives, adjusting for any impairment. The depreciation periods are:

Asset category

    

Estimated useful life

Buildings and constructions

 

25-40 years

Machinery and equipment

 

3-10 years

Leasehold improvements

 

shorter of the lease term or useful life

Land areas are not depreciated.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset is then tested for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount to its carrying value. Impairment losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Leases

Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The lease contracts, where the Group acts as a lessee under IFRS 16 Leases consist mainly of real estate (e.g. retail stores, offices, warehouses) and cars. The Group recognizes a right- of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.

The Group has elected to use the exemptions proposed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease term is shorter than 12 months and on lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low-value (e.g. laptops, mobile phones; below USD 5 thousand). The lease expenses for short-term and low-value contracts as well as for lease contracts with variable leases based on net sales of the leased premises are recognized as rent expenses over the lease term in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Lease liabilities

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Groups incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the incremental borrowing rate is applied. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the type of the leased asset.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the fixed payments (including the in-substance fixed payments), variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The Group applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise or not to exercise the option to extend or terminate the lease. It considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the extension or termination.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, if there is a change in the Groups estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment. A corresponding adjustment is done to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or it is recorded in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Right-of-use assets

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying assets or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as for the property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is reduced by potential impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

In 2022, the Group applied the amendments to IFRS 16 Leases as an optional practical expedient to allow lessees not to account for rent concessions as lease modifications if they are a direct consequence of COVID-19 and meet certain conditions. The practical expedient applies only if the revised consideration is substantially the same or less than the original consideration, the reduction in lease payments relates to payments due on or before June 30, 2022, and no other substantive changes have been made to the terms of the lease. All those rent concessions that met the aforementioned conditions were recognized as variable lease payment reductions in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. In 2023 the amendment to IFRS 16 was no longer valid.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Groups operations have been divided into cash generating units (CGU) representing the Groups brands and reflecting the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. A cash generating unit determined for the impairment testing purposes is the smallest group of assets generating cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

Impairment testing is performed by comparing the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU to its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use (VIU). VIU has been calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each CGU (refer to note 9 for further details).

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost calculated according to the first-in-first-out principle or the net realizable value. For self-manufactured products, the cost includes direct wages and raw material costs as well as a portion of the indirect costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in realizable value, the amount of the write-down previously recorded is reversed.

Provisions

Provisions

Obligations arising as the consequence of a past event, which are legal or which the Company has an actual obligation to settle and are considered certain or likely to occur, are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss. They are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as provisions when it is probable that the resources will be transferred out of the Group but the precise amount or timing is not known. The most important regular provisions are due to the repair or replacement of products during the warranty period. These provisions are determined on the basis of historical experience. A provision for reorganization is made when the Group has drawn up a detailed reorganization plan and announced the reorganization.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and other comprehensive income and loss.

Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions

Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Groups management makes judgments and estimates influencing the content of the consolidated financial statements and it must exercise its judgment regarding the application of accounting policies. The judgments and estimates are based on a set of underlying data that may include managements historical experience, knowledge of current event and conditions, and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management continuously evaluates the judgments and estimates it uses. These estimates have been applied in a manner that is consistent with prior periods. There are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that the Group believes will materially affect the methodology or assumptions used in making these judgments and estimates in the consolidated financial statements.

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and estimates that the Group believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Actual results may differ from these estimates. Any changes in the estimates and assumptions are recognized in the period in which the estimate or assumption is revised.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of non-current tangible and intangible assets are assessed by means of impairment tests whenever there is an indication of impairment. Any impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are nevertheless assessed at least once a year.

More details of the impairment are disclosed under note 9.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legal or actual obligation for the Company to settle an obligation arising as the consequence of a past event that is considered certain or likely to occur. The most important regular provisions are due to the repair or replacement of products during the warranty period. These provisions are determined on the basis of historical experience. The provisions recognized represent managements best estimate of the present value of the future costs assumed to be incurred. The actual costs may differ from the estimated.

More details on the provisions are disclosed in note 21.

Accounts receivable

The Group has a significant number of customers which minimizes the concentration of credit risks. Ongoing estimates are done related to the ability to collect the Groups accounts receivables and maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses resulting from the ability of the Groups customers to make the required payments. The historical levels of credit losses are considered to make judgments about the creditworthiness of the customers based on ongoing credit evaluations.

More details on the aging and valuation provisions of the accounts receivables are disclosed in note 28.

Inventories

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost calculated according to the first-in-first-out principle or the net realizable value. The net realizable value requires an estimate of the products future selling prices. When assessing the net realizable value of the inventories, the Group considers multiple factors and uses estimates related to fluctuations in inventory levels, aging of inventory, customer behavior and anticipated sales volume, seasonality, expected selling prices and selling costs.

More details on the inventory provisions are disclosed in note 16.

Income taxes

Management judgment is required in determining provisions for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized. The Group is also subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the Groups provision for income taxes. There may be transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group anticipates questions arising in tax audits and recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

More details on the income taxes are disclosed under note 12.

Pension plans

The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (or income) for pensions include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations.

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions.

More details on the pension plans are disclosed under note 8.

Share-based payments

Options granted will vest upon satisfaction of service and performance conditions, and an exit event (a public offering of the shares of the Company or a sale of the controlling majority of the shares in the Company or business assets) (the exit event), which is a non-market performance condition. For options with service and/or performance conditions, the amount of compensation expense recognized is based on the number of awards expected to vest, reflecting estimated expected forfeitures, and is adjusted to reflect those awards that do ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is based on management’s best estimate of expected forfeitures, taking into consideration historical trends and expected future behavior. For options with a non-market performance condition (i.e. exit event), the Company recognizes the expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the exit event will be achieved. The Company deemed the exit event probable as of December 28, 2023.

The fair values of the options at grant date, at modification date and at the end of the reporting period are estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model including any market performance conditions and excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions.
