Amer Sports penalized by exchange rates

Published
May 2, 2014

In the first quarter of its 2014 fiscal year ending in late March, Amer Sports publishes sales of 501.5 million euros, up 6% before currency effects. It was a satisfactory result for the Finnish sporting goods company (Salomon, Wilson, Arc'teryx, Suunto...), which pointed to difficult circumstances in Russia and unfavorable conditions in its principal markets.
