PUMA publishes preliminary results for the second quarter 2017 and raises full-year guidance for 2017

Herzogenaurach, Germany, July 17, 2017 – PUMA SE publishes preliminary results for the second quarter 2017 and raises its guidance for the full-year 2017.

In the second quarter 2017, consolidated sales increased currency adjusted by approx. 16.3% (approx. 17.2% in reported terms) to EUR 968.7 million compared to EUR 826.5 million in the second quarter last year. The operating result (EBIT) in the second quarter 2017 increased to approx. EUR 43.4 million (Q2 2016: EUR 11.9 million).

In light of the strong second-quarter increase in sales and profitability as well as the positive business outlook for the current year 2017, PUMA raises the full-year guidance for its consolidated sales and operating result (EBIT). The Management now expects that currency adjusted sales will increase between 12% and 14% (previous guidance: currency adjusted increase at a low double-digit percentage rate). The operating result (EBIT) is now anticipated to come in between EUR 205 million and EUR 215 million (previous guidance: between EUR 185 million and EUR 200 million). In line with the previous guidance, the Management still expects that net earnings will improve significantly in 2017.

A complete overview of PUMA’s business development for the second quarter 2017 and the first half year 2017 will be published on July 26, 2017.
