Elevating the world through sportÑfrom courts to slopes, from cities to mountains, and everywhere in between, we aim to inspire people to explore and experience the joy of sports and outdoor activities, and lead better, healthier lives. Our vision is to be the global leader in premium sports and outdoor brands. Amer Sports is a global group of iconic sports and outdoor brands, including ArcÕteryx, Salomon, Wilson, Atomic and Peak Performance. Our brands are known for their detailed craftsmanship, unwavering authenticity, premium market positioning and compelling market shares in their categories. We pride ourselves on cutting-edge innovation, technical performance and ground-breaking designs that allow athletes and everyday consumers to perform better every day. Through partnerships with industry influencers and elite athletes, and in collaboration with the various communities we serve, we develop next-generation products that define winning moments in sports. Our brands are creators of exceptional apparel, footwear, equipment, protective gear and accessories that we believe give our consumers the confidence and comfort to excel. --- Our brands are our stars, constantly elevating the consumer experience and creating thriving communities. We empower our brands to pursue market-shaping leadership and set the standard for quality, performance and brand experience globally. While our brands have established heritage and market leadership today, significant runway remains ahead. We are excited about our future and the opportunity to drive growth in each of our three reportable segments: Technical Apparel, Outdoor Performance and Ball & Racquet Sports. Our segments comprise our "brand clusters," which reflect both how our consumers engage with our products and how we manage our business. --- Each segment is led by one of our core brands: ArcÕteryx, Salomon and Wilson. ArcÕteryx ArcÕteryx is a technical outdoor apparel brand inspired by the Canadian Coast Mountains and built on the principle of obsessive, precise design and production. ArcÕteryx gear pushes the boundaries of performance and enables adventurers to excel in their outdoor pursuits in the mountains, in the backcountry and on some of the world's most technical climbs. The products are known for their minimalist design and sleek and streamlined aesthetic, along with new, innovative features that continually advance outdoor activities. Product quality, from the materials to the design, allows ArcÕteryx to command premium pricing as evidenced by its best-selling "hardshell" jacket in North America, the Alpha SV. Overall, ArcÕteryx combines beautiful, innovative products and an authentic brand experience that extends beyond apparel, fostering communities and bringing people together across all regions of the world who share a passion for the outdoors. Salomon Born in the French Alps in 1947, Salomon creates premium innovative footwear, apparel, winter sports equipment and accessories. Since its founding, Salomon has been fueled by a culture of design, craftmanship, continuous innovation, and performance inspired by progress, the outdoors and athletes. The brand first produced metal ski edges and expanded into releasable ski bindings before launching industry changing rear-entry ski boots and monocoque skis. The brand's leadership in winter sports helped to propel it into a diverse portfolio of sports and products including footwear and apparel. Today, Salomon is a market leader in global trail running footwear and premium hiking footwear, with products recognized for their performance, style, durability and sustainability. Over 60% of Salomon's revenue for 2022 came from footwear, while also having leading market positions in its legacy winter sports equipment categories (skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, goggles, helmets, etc.), creating a 365-day, year-round brand serving all seasons for mountain sport consumers. Wilson Sporting Goods Founded in 1914 in Chicago, Illinois, Wilson Sporting Goods is a leading manufacturer of high-performance sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories. The Wilson Sporting Goods portfolio is made up of the iconic Wilson brand, as well as Louisville Slugger, DeMarini, EvoShield and ATEC. Collectively, these brands bring more than three centuries of innovation, history and heritage to a variety of mainstream sports. As a multi-sports platform, Wilson drives innovation and product excellence by leveraging learnings across the brands' various disciplines, including tennis, baseball and basketball, among other sports. The Wilson brand has a legacy as the top-of-the-line sports equipment and is associated with legendary athletes, including Roger Federer, Russell Wilson and Jamal Murray. In addition, Wilson is the official partner of professional sports leagues, including the NBA, WNBA, NFL, the US Open and Roland Garros Grand Slam Tennis Championships, as well as the NCAA, making Wilson products integral to performance in sport. These athletes and leagues are a testament to the credibility and reputation of Wilson's track record of innovation and superior products. While ArcÕteryx, Salomon and Wilson stand tall and lead our three segments, our other brands appropriately fit our sports-oriented portfolio. Brands such as Atomic and Peak Performance enhance our scale, competitive positioning and diversification across sports categories. Together, our brands enable us to lead and compete in various sports segments and drive the continued success of our portfolio. The Amer Sports Group We excel at identifying, developing and defining brands that meet our corporate vision. We empower these brands to autonomously connect with consumers and develop products to drive growth. Our platform supports the brands via scaled infrastructure and financial controls to accelerate performance. Our operations are subject to complexity and risk consistent with being a large global organization. We believe that the size and diversification of our platform mitigates risks and provides financial flexibility to invest prudently to meet the continuously evolving needs of consumers, to develop competitive advantages and to drive growth across the brands through a relentless focus on innovation. We also believe that our platform enables efficient integration, scaling and optimization of target opportunities that fit within our portfolio, as well as critical insight to inform divestiture decisions. We govern our brands through management across the finance, supply chain, sustainability, communication, legal and compliance functions, among other areas. At the same time, we enable our brands through our group's incubator model that provides shared learnings from data analytics across the platform as well as from the economies of scale and synergies of shared resources, including supplier services, distribution and logistics, human resources and enterprise IT infrastructure. We further serve our brands through access to shared, centralized business services, including customer service and treasury management functions. All together, these resources empower our brand leadership teams to focus on serving consumers through brand, product and go-to-market strategies that drive performance, and our global and scaled operating model enables larger, robust brand organizations to independently flourish. Deeply Committed to Sustainability As a global group of sports and outdoor brands, we believe we can foster more sustainable lifestyles, encourage mindful consumption, and promote well-being. While the sports and outdoor industry connects us with nature, we also understand it can consume our planet's precious resources. Together with our brands, we are focused on managing the complex and challenging supply chains in our industry to build a sustainability culture that positively impacts our environment and the people whose lives we touch. As a participant of the UN Global Compact, Amer Sports Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, aims to incorporate the Ten Principles of the Global Compact and to support applicable UN Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, we have committed to set science-based near-term and net-zero emission reduction targets at the group level, which we intend to submit to be validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). At the brand level, we are focused on sustainable business practices. For example, ArcÕteryx opened five new ReBirdª Service Centers in the United States, Canada, Greater China and Japan. ReBirdª Service Centers offer consumers complementary repair services for their ArcÕteryx gear, connecting consumers to the brand's ongoing focus on improving circularity, including upcycling, resale, care and repair. ArcÕteryx's sustainability program, ReCareª, provides consumers with information on home care and field repair for their products, while the ReCutª program diverts rescued textiles that are repurposed into original and coveted pieces and the ReGearª program accepts used gear and refurbishes it for sale on the ReGearª platform. Salomon and Peak Performance have reduced the need for materials and transport by using 3D product samples for sales purposes and are looking to expand the use of 3D in consumer experiences and e-commerce. Further, ArcÕteryx and Salomon have each set brand-level near-term science-based emission reduction targets for 2030 approved by the SBTi. Our management oversees the implementation of our sustainability strategy. Cross-functional operational teams drive our efforts on sustainable business practices, led by the Amer Sports platform with participation across key brands and functions. Working groups plan and execute roadmaps on sustainability initiatives in key areas identified, such as climate change, circular economy, responsible procurement and supply chain, human rights, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. We also take our responsibility for the health and well-being of our own employees as well as the employees of our partners along the value chain seriously. Our membership in the Fair Labor Association highlights our commitment to working to uphold human rights in our global supply chain with initiatives to protect workers' rights globally and drive long-term improvements through training and education, worker engagement, and integration into sourcing practices.
