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

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.
