Sports company PUMA announces its outlook for the financial year 2025.
PUMA anticipates ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic challenges in 2025, especially trade disputes and currency volatility. Against this backdrop, PUMA expects currency adjusted sales to grow in the low- to mid-single-digit percentage range.
Due to its nextlevel cost efficiency programme, PUMA expects to incur one-time costs of up to € 75 million in 2025. In return, the company expects to generate additional EBIT of up to
€ 100 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The net contribution from the nextlevel cost efficiency programme to EBIT in 2025 is projected to be up to € 25 million.
In order to provide a reliable outlook for the underlying performance of the business, the company provides an adjusted EBIT outlook for 2025, excluding one-time costs. PUMA expects an adjusted EBIT in the range of € 520 million to € 600 million for the financial year 2025. Including one-time costs of up to € 75 million from the nextlevel programme, EBIT in 2025 is expected to range between € 445 million and € 525 million (2024: € 622 million).
For Q1, PUMA anticipates currency-adjusted sales growth to be low-single-digit below last year’s level, primarily due to a soft performance in the U.S. and China. Due to inventory valuation effects in the previous year, a higher OPEX run rate and a different phasing of marketing expenses, adjusted EBIT is projected to be around € 70 million. Including one-time costs, Q1 EBIT is expected to be significantly below previous year’s level (Q1 2024: € 159.0 million).
For the financial year 2024, with a net income of € 281.6 million and considering the executed share buyback of € 50 million, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of PUMA SE will propose a dividend distribution of € 0.61 at the Annual General Meeting on 21 May 2025.
