2 2 (19) HEIKKI TAKALA, PRESIDENT AND CEO: We had a solid start for the year with all business areas progressing towards their targets, with the exception of Winter Sports Equipment. I m especially pleased by the apparel and footwear driven growth and by the rebounding of our Individual Ball Sports where we made real progress in tennis rackets. Also our emerging markets expansion continued according to plan with good growth in Russia, Latin America and China, supported by continuous investments into own retail. Winter Sports Equipment market is somewhat depressed due to the unfavorable weather conditions and we expect declining pre-orders. However, I m encouraged by our operational efficiency improvements in the business area. We are continuously driving synergies and scale across the company with on-going consolidation of operations. For example, we have continued to build the category-based operations in apparel, footwear and accessories and we have brought third party distributor operations in-house in several countries. This is driving our sales and gross margin improvement but it also means continuous front-heavy operational expenses. Looking forward, we continue to execute our strategy as we see that it s working.

SEASONALITY Although Amer Sports operates in a number of sporting goods segments during all four seasons, its business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically, the third and fourth quarters of a financial year have been the strongest quarters for Amer Sports in terms of both net sales and profitability, mainly because sales of winter sports equipment ahead of the winter season typically take place during the third and fourth quarters. The summer season for ball sports balances seasonality to a certain extent, as the strongest quarters for the Ball Sports segment are the first and second quarters. Usually the net cash flow from operating activities is very strong in the first quarter when the income from winter sports equipment realizes. Especially during the third quarter, the net cash flow from operating activities is tied up in working capital. All forecasts and estimates presented in this report are based on the management s current judgment of the economic environment. The actual results may differ significantly.
