Fila Holdings Reports Q1 Sales of 1.0736 Trillion KRW, Up 8.6% YoY

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] FILA Holdings recorded its highest quarterly performance ever in the first quarter of this year despite uncertain domestic and international environments.

FILA Holdings announced on the 16th that its consolidated sales for the first quarter of this year reached 1.0736 trillion KRW, an 8.6% increase compared to the same period last year. Operating profit was 168.8 billion KRW, down 8% due to increased selling and administrative expenses related to brand strengthening in the Acushnet division, adjustments in sales channel proportions following the execution of FILA brand’s mid- to long-term strategy, and some supply chain issues.

By business segment, Acushnet achieved an earnings surprise by exceeding market consensus with sales of 730.3 billion KRW and operating profit of 122.6 billion KRW, supported by steady golf demand. The FILA division saw sales increase by 0.5% year-on-year to 343.3 billion KRW, influenced by structural improvements across the business in line with the five-year mid- to long-term brand strategy announced at the end of February, while operating profit decreased by 12% to 46.2 billion KRW.

A FILA Holdings representative stated, “Despite increased uncertainties at home and abroad, we were able to record the highest quarterly consolidated performance thanks to Acushnet’s earnings surprise and the smooth start of the FILA division’s mid- to long-term strategy. For sustainable growth, we plan to fully implement the FILA brand’s global strategy and focus on strengthening brand value and competitiveness.”
