Amer Sports is changing its segment reporting. The redefined business
segments are: Winter and Outdoor; Ball Sports; and Fitness. The new
segment structure is in line with the Group's current organizational
structure and management reporting. The change is effective
immediately and financial statements for 2007 will be prepared
accordingly.
The new segments have been divided into the following business areas:
Winter and Outdoor
- Winter Sports Equipment (Salomon winter sports equipment, Atomic
and Bonfire)
- Apparel and Footwear (Salomon apparel and footwear and Arc'teryx)
- Cycling (Mavic)
- Sports Instruments (Suunto)
Ball Sports (Wilson) - as previously
- Racquet Sports
- Team Sports
- Golf
Fitness (Precor) - as previously
- Fitness Equipment
Amer Sports will report on its business segments based on IFRS
requirements. Net sales figures will be reported only for the
business areas.
The Group's geographical segments will remain unchanged: the Americas
(North, South and Central America); EMEA (Europe, Middle East and
Africa); and Asia Pacific (including Japan and Australia).
Further information about this new organizational structure is
available in the stock exchange releases published on July 2, 2007
and November 22, 2007, which can be found at www.amersports.com.
