Amer Sports closed its fiscal year 2025, reported February 24, 2026, with a strong finish, posting 28% revenue growth in Q4 to $2.1 billion, again driven by Arc’teryx and Salomon. The result caps a year in which the group’s full year revenue rose 27% to $6.6 billion, with both flagship brands crossing major sales milestones.
A Breakout Year for the Group
Amer Sports delivered double digit growth across all three business segments, all four geographic regions, and both DTC and wholesale channels in fiscal year 2025.
CEO James Zheng said that “Fourth quarter was a great finish to a breakout year for Amer Sports led by our flagship Arc’teryx brand and rising star Salomon. In 2025 we delivered 27% revenue growth to $6.6 billion, with double-digit growth across all segments, regions, and channels.
Net income for Q4 surged to $131.5 million, up from $15.4 million a year earlier, while full year net income reached $427.4 million.
Arc’teryx Leads, Salomon Accelerates
Arc’teryx remains the group’s highest margin franchise, with the Technical Apparel segment, primarily Arc’teryx, growing 34% in Q4 to $1.0 billion. Salomon’s Outdoor Performance segment rose 29% in Q4, fueled by continued momentum in footwear and apparel; Salomon surpassed $2 billion in total sales for fiscal 2025.
Both brands are DTC led, the direct to consumer channel drove the bulk of Amer Sports’ growth, with DTC up 44% in the prior period, driven by Arc’teryx store expansion and Salomon footwear.
Salomon’s Sneaker Push
CFO Andrew Page pointed out that
“In addition to Arc’teryx’s exceptional trajectory, Salomon Softgoods has very significant and profitable growth potential. And the strong financial position of Amer Sports allows us the flexibility to accelerate investments and resources to unlock Salomon’s full potential in the global sneaker market.”
The company said its financial position gives it the flexibility to accelerate investment in Salomon Softgoods without sacrificing group level profitability.
Salomon’s move from alpine performance heritage into lifestyle and running influenced sneakers has resonated strongly in Asia Pacific and Europe, two of the brand’s fastest growing regions.
Looking Ahead
Amer Sports said it expects continued momentum in Arc’teryx and accelerating Salomon footwear growth through 2026. The Ball & Racquet segment, home to Wilson, grew 14% in Q4, adding another layer of diversification to the portfolio.
Investors and industry observers will be watching how aggressively Amer Sports deploys capital behind Salomon Softgoods, which the group has now formally identified as its next major growth engine alongside Arc’teryx.
