NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. 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 Company’s registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, PO Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to as the “Group” or “Amer Sports”.
Amer Sports is a global portfolio of sport and outdoor brands, including Arc’teryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic and Peak Performance. Amer Sports manufactures, markets and sells sports equipment, apparel, and footwear through wholesale and direct to consumer ("DTC") channels globally and has a sales network in over 40 countries, with North America, Europe, Asia and China being the main market areas.
On January 31, 2024, the Company completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 105,000,000 ordinary shares at an initial offering price of $13.00 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “AS” on February 1, 2024. The IPO closed on February 5, 2024, raising $1.37 billion in gross proceeds, and the underwriters subsequently exercised a portion of their overallotment option to purchase additional shares of 7,875,000 at the initial offering price of $13.00, raising $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 of 7,875,000 at the initial offering price of $13.00, raising an additional $102.4 million in further additional gross proceeds.
Seasonality
Although the Company operates in a number of sporting goods segments during all four seasons, its business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically, the fourth quarter of a financial year has been the strongest quarter for the Group in terms of both net sales and profitability, primarily due to higher sales through the Company’s DTC channel compared to the rest of the year and a higher share of fall and winter collections in the Group’s Technical Apparel and Outdoor Performance segments. The Ball & Racquet Sports segment is generally more consistent across fiscal quarters. Working capital requirements typically increase throughout the second and third fiscal quarters as inventory builds to support the Group’s peak shipping and selling period which typically occurs from August to December. Cash provided by operating activities is typically highest in the first fiscal quarter due to the significant inflows associated with the peak selling season.

Effective February 1, 2024, management determined that Amer Sports, Inc.’s functional currency changed from euro (“EUR”) to USD, which has been accounted for on a prospective basis. The change in functional currency was driven by the capital structure change of Amer Sports, Inc., due to the IPO, debt refinancing, and related transaction expenses incurred, which were primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Future equity issuances and cash flows of the Company will be in 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. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company changed its presentation of credit card processing fees in the consolidated statement of income and loss and other comprehensive income and loss, which were previously recorded as contra-revenue and have been reclassified as selling, general and administrative expenses. We believe this presentation better reflects the nature of the costs incurred by the Company. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. The amounts reclassified were immaterial and had no impact on previously reported operating profit or net income/(loss).
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company changed its presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows to present net cash flows from revolving credit facilities with repayment terms less than three months separately from other short-term borrowings from financial institutions. The Company elected to make this reclassification as they believe it more appropriately reflects the nature of the source and use of the cash flows, and improves comparability to peers. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. The change had no impact on net cash flow from financing activities or any other financial statement information.
Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and Amer Sports Holding (Cayman) Limited ("JVCo"), a related party, interest incurred on the Investment Loan and Facility A Loan after December 31, 2022 was suspended. Refer to Note 17. Related Party Transactions for additional information. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company updated the presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows for fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, to reclassify approximately $25.2 million of cash payments made to JVCo from interest paid, classified as operating cash flows, to repayments of long-term borrowings from related parties, classified as financing cash flows. The Company concluded that the adjustment was immaterial to the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
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, 2024:
•IAS 1 (amendment): Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non-current liabilities with Covenants - no material impact
•IFRS 16 (amendment): Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback - no material impact
•IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (amendment): Supplier finance arrangements - no material impact
Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions
When preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group’s management makes judgments and estimates influencing the content of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements and it must exercise its judgment regarding the application of accounting policies. Management continuously evaluates the judgments and estimates it uses.
The significant judgments made and the estimates used by management have been applied in the same manner as reported in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 6. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 and Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2023
The objectives of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2019 (“2019 ESOP”) and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan 2023 (“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.
The maximum number of options under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP that may be granted is 3.0% 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 (an initial 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 ratably over a period of 3 to 5 years, 65% of the options granted are with Group and/or brand performances.
The Company started recognizing share-based payment expenses for equity-settled awards and cash-settled awards during the fourth quarter of 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.
Prior to the vesting of the option awards under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP plans, the Company made modifications of the terms of the awards.
On December 28, 2023, the Company modified certain stock options under the 2019 ESOP and 2023 ESOP plans to increase the exercise price, with cash compensation payable upon vesting. For cash-settled awards, the modified terms have been reflected in the remeasurement of the liability as of December 31, 2023. On January 4, 2024, the exercise price currency of all options was converted from EUR to USD. On January 22, 2024, the Company removed the choice of settlement between cash and equity for certain employees. Thus, those options will be settled in equity instruments of the Company. On January 29, 2024, certain options granted with Group performance vesting conditions were modified to lower the threshold for vesting of certain options upon IPO.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The incremental fair value of the modified options at the dates of the modifications was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model. For equity-settled awards, the incremental compensation cost will be recognized as an expense over the remaining vesting period, starting from the modification date. For cash-settled awards, the modified terms have been reflected in the remeasurement of the liability as of September 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes the activity of share options under the 2019 ESOP during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

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. The 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.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
In accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, income tax expense for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements is calculated on the basis of the average annual tax rate that is expected for the entire fiscal year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the consolidated interim financial statements may differ from management’s best estimate of the effective rate.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Income tax expense was $72.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $32.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was 56% and (988)% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The three months ended September 30, 2024, included withholding tax expenses of $8.4 million, offset by a favorable return to provision adjustment of $6.2 million. The effective tax rate of (988)% for the three and months ended September 30, 2023, was due to high non-deductible interest expenses on related party loans, which were subsequently refinanced.
The effective tax rate was 32% and (130)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, 2024, included a discrete tax benefit of $19.9 million due to the reversal of uncertain tax positions as a result of the closure of tax audits and expiration of statute of limitations, which was partially offset by withholding tax expense of $11.0 million. The effective tax rate of (130)% for the the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is due to non-deductible interest expenses on related party loans, which were subsequently refinanced.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation effective in 2024, the legislation does not have a material impact on the Group’s financial results. The Company is monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on its future income tax provision and effective income tax rate.
NOTE 9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Impairment review
Impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as trademarks, are performed when management has identified indications of impairment or once a year when business plans for the next strategic planning horizon are approved by management.
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 are the following: Winter Sports Equipment, Salomon, Arc’teryx, Ball & Racquet Sports, and Peak Performance.
Management has considered whether any impairment indicators existed at the reporting date, and has concluded that the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are fully recoverable as of September 30, 2024.

NOTE 12. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY/(DEFICIT)
The authorized share capital of the Company is EUR 75,000,000 divided into 2,495,175,000 shares of a nominal or par value of EUR 0.0300580119630888 each. As of September 30, 2024 there were 505,559,667 ordinary shares outstanding, amounting to share capital of $16.9 million. As of December 31, 2023 there were 115,220,745 A shares and 352,193 B shares outstanding, amounting to share capital of $642.2 million.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Immediately prior to the completion of the 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 IPO, the Company had 384,499,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the IPO, the Company had 505,249,607 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
In addition to the Reclassification and the Share Split, the Company equitized a portion of Loans from related parties (comprised of the Investment Loan and Facility A Loan) in the amount of $2.54 billion (the “Equitization”), which resulted in an increase of Capital reserve. The Equitization is accounted for as a capital contribution.
In connection with the IPO, the Company eliminated the line item Reserves and instead introduced the Share premium, Capital reserve, and Cash flow hedge reserve line items to be presented on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position. Certain amounts have been reclassified as of December 31, 2023 to conform to the current presentation. Share premium reflects the amount of IPO proceeds exceeding the par value. Capital reserve reflects the Equitization and suspension of interest relating to the Loans from related parties. Management believes that this presentation improves comparability to peers and investors’ understanding of the financial impact resulting from the IPO and the Equitization.

On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into a new credit agreement providing for (i) a new 7-year $500 million term loan facility ("USD Term Loan Facility"), (ii) a new 7-year EUR 700 million term loan facility ("EUR Term Loan Facility") and (iii) a new $710 million 5-year revolving credit facility (together, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Company also issued $800 million of 6.750% new senior secured notes on the same day. As of September 30, 2024, $128.8 million was outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and included in Interest-bearing liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.
The net proceeds of the IPO, together with the net proceeds from the $500 million term loan facility, the EUR 700 million Term Loan Facility and the $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 $1.86 billion as of December 31, 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 $90.0 million and $291.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023 (both recorded within current interest-bearing liabilities).
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
On September 2, 2024, Amer Sports Shanghai Trading Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a CNY 500 million unsecured working capital line of credit with China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd, which bears interest at 3.0%. The line of credit expires in September 2025. As of September 30, 2024, $71.3 million (based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2024), the full amount of the line of credit, was outstanding and included in Interest-bearing liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.
On September 30, 2024, the Company prepaid $65.0 million on its USD Term Loan Facility as a result of improving working capital management and drawing down on its China working capital line of credit. Simultaneously, the Company repriced its USD Term Loan Facility and EUR Term Loan Facility. The USD Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, either (i) a term SOFR-based rate or (ii) a U.S. dollar base rate plus an applicable margin (provided, however, that the term SOFR-based rate shall be no less than 0.00% per annum and the U.S. dollar base rate shall be no less than 1.00% per annum at any time). The EUR Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR plus an applicable margin (provided, however, that the EURIBOR based rate shall be no less than 0.00% per annum at any time). The repricing reduced the interest rate margins for borrowings under the USD Term Loan Facility from 3.00% - 3.25% to 2.50% - 2.75% for the SOFR-based rate and from 2.00% - 2.25% to 1.50% - 1.75% for the U.S. dollar base rate, and interest rate margins for borrowings under the EUR Term Loan Facility from 3.25% - 3.50% to 2.75% - 3.00%. There are no changes to the maturity of the USD and EUR Term Loan Facilities as a result of this repricing. The Company has elected the accounting policy to treat the repricing, a revision of an interest rate (or a component of an interest rate) in which the lender has a right to demand immediate repayment (or the borrower has an option to prepay) without significant penalty, as a re-estimation of the cash flows under the existing contract. The revised effective interest rate was used to discount the modified contractual cash flows. There was no gain or loss recorded on the repricing. The Company incurred $2.3 million of transaction costs as a result of the repricing, which have been recorded to Finance Cost in the consolidated statement of income and loss and other comprehensive income and loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Carrying amounts of current financial instruments carried at amortized cost are reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short-term nature. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s long term loans from financial institutions, which are recorded at amortized cost, was $2,105.1 million compared to a carrying value of $2,082.5 million.
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 Group’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the reporting period.
The valuation process and valuation techniques, which are stated in the most recent consolidated annual financial statements, are applicable in the reporting period.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
•for interest rate swaps and cross-currency 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 end of the reporting period; 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.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring Level 3 fair values for financial instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 relatively short period to maturity of these instruments and low credit risk of counterparty. | The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to 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. |

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred net losses and as a result, the inclusion of potentially dilutive shares relating to vested and unvested shares of restricted share units, performance share units, and stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted average potentially dilutive shares excluded were 4,471,989 and 3,638,675 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively .
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 1,749,669 and 947,608 weighted average potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to unvested stock options and restricted share units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 6,197,863 and 5,497,086 weighted average potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to unvested performance share units and stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period.
