PUMA announces preliminary results for the fourth quarter

and the full year 2024

 

Herzogenaurach, Germany, 22 January 2025 – Sports company PUMA announced today preliminary 2024 results, reporting a currency adjusted (ca) sales growth of 9.8% to € 2,289 million (+15.5% reported) in the fourth quarter of 2024. On a full-year basis, sales grew by 4.4% (ca) to € 8,817 million (+2.5% reported) and in line with the outlook.

 

The full-year 2024 operating result (EBIT) came in at € 622 million, which is at last year’s level (2023: € 622 million) and in line with the EBIT outlook for the full year 2024. The full-year 2024 EBIT margin was 7.1%. Net income came in at € 282 million, which is below prior year’s level (2023: € 305 million) and expectations. This was mainly caused by higher net interest expenses and higher non-controlling interests.

 

In the fourth quarter, both the operating result (EBIT) of € 109 million (Q4 2023 EBIT: € 94 million) and the net income of € 24 million (Q4 2023 net income: € 1 million) came in significantly above last year’s levels, but below expectations.

 

PUMA initiates the cost efficiency programme “nextlevel” with the objective to achieve an EBIT margin of 8.5% by 2027.

 

The financial results are preliminary and unaudited. PUMA SE will publish its results for the financial year 2024 and outlook 2025 on 12 March 2025.
