ONON On Holding AG

• On reports an all-time record quarter for both net sales and profitability. Net sales increased by 32.3%, and by 33.2% on a constant currency basis, reaching CHF 635.8 million in Q3 2024. The strong growth is fueled by significant acceleration in On's direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel, which grew 49.8% year-over-year, and by 50.7% on a constant currency basis.
• The significant growth in On's DTC channel results in a 38.8% DTC share for the third quarter, an increase of 450 basis points compared to the prior year period. This strong growth reflects continued exceptional momentum for the On brand, driven by significant increases in global brand awareness and supported by On's recent operational improvements.
• On achieves its highest gross profit margin since its IPO in September 2021, reaching 60.6% in Q3 2024, up from 59.9% in the prior year period. This significant increase is driven by growth in the DTC channel and a continued disciplined approach to full-price sales. The strong net sales performance, combined with disciplined cost management, further results in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.9%.
• Driven by the strong performance in the first nine months of 2024 and significant brand momentum heading into the holiday season, On is raising its full year 2024 net sales growth outlook to at least 32% on a constant currency basis. This corresponds to reported net sales of at least CHF 2.29 billion at current spot rates. On further anticipates an increased gross profit margin of around 60.5% for the full year 2024 and now expects an adjusted EBITDA margin at the upper end of the previous expectation of 16.0 - 16.5% for the full year 2024.
• On's global brand awareness has surged in recent months, fueled by a strong presence at the Paris Olympics, the incredible success of On athletes, extensive coverage of its innovative LightSpray™ technology, and high-profile and long-term partnerships with influential personalities like Zendaya. This momentum is further amplified by exceptional growth in the APAC region, strategic store openings in key cities around the world, and the continued success of On's core running franchises. These achievements underscore On's long-term vision of being the most premium global sportswear brand.

On Holding AG (NYSE: ONON) (“On,” “On Holding AG,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us”), has announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Caspar Coppetti, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chairman of On, said: "Just over a year ago, we shared our Dream On vision with the world. This quarter's record results are a testament to the incredible momentum we have built. From increasing our brand awareness amongst our core communities worldwide, to pushing the boundaries of performance credibility and deepening our sustainability impact, to expanding our premium footprint across all channels, we are turning our dream into a reality. With our continued relentless focus on performance, innovation and authentic partnerships, we are excited to inspire the world to move with even greater purpose."

Martin Hoffmann, Co-CEO and CFO of On, said: "This quarter's exceptional results are a demonstration of the incredible work of our team, the growing global demand for the On brand, and the power of On's premium position. Our commitment to innovation and excellence has allowed us to capture this demand and deliver outstanding performance, particularly in our DTC channel. The resulting net sales and profitability ahead of our expectations puts us in a position to significantly increase our outlook for the full year 2024, and fuels our confidence as we head into the holiday season and continue to shape the future of sportswear."

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital and net sales on a constant currency basis are non-IFRS measures used by us to evaluate our performance. Furthermore, we believe these non-IFRS measures enhance investors' understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period because they enhance the comparability of results between each period, help identify trends in operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how management evaluates the business. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital and net sales on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. For a detailed description and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure, see section titled “Non-IFRS Measures.”

Outlook

Driven by increasing global brand awareness, On has achieved a very strong year-to-date net sales growth rate of 27.3%, including over CHF 1 billion net sales contribution from the Americas region in the first nine months of the year. Supported by a relentless focus on operational excellence over recent months, On heads into the holiday season with a lot of confidence to fulfill the strong consumer demand for the brand in the fourth quarter.

Due to the strong third quarter results ahead of expectations and continued global brand momentum, On is raising its full year 2024 net sales growth outlook to at least 32% on a constant currency basis, implying reported net sales of at least CHF 2.29 billion for the full year. This embeds the expectation for an acceleration in the constant currency net sales growth rate in Q4, as well as an anticipated sizable foreign exchange headwind when converted to Swiss Francs in the fourth quarter.

Based on strong year-to-date profitability and the continued strength of On's DTC channel, On expects to exceed its previously stated profitability targets for the full year 2024. On now anticipates achieving a gross profit margin of approximately 60.5% and an adjusted EBITDA margin at the upper end of its previous expected range of 16.0 - 16.5%.

Other than with respect to IFRS net sales and gross profit margin, On only provides guidance on a non-IFRS basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. As a result, we are not able to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a reconciliation to net income. The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including those stated below and in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital, and net sales on a constant currency basis are financial measures that are not defined under IFRS. We use these non-IFRS measures when evaluating our performance, including when making financial and operating decisions, and as a key component in the determination of variable incentive compensation for employees. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, these non-IFRS measures enhance investor understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period, because they exclude share-based compensation which is not viewed by management as part of our ongoing operations and performance, enhance the comparability of results between each period, help identify trends in operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how management evaluates the business. In particular, we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and net working capital are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the sportswear industry.

However, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital, and net sales on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. The tables below reconcile each non-IFRS measure to its most directly comparable IFRS measure.

As noted above, we do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected net income being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release.

Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-IFRS financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement to our results under IFRS. Net sales on a constant currency basis represents current period results that have been retranslated using exchange rates used in the prior year comparative period. We provide constant currency percent change in net sales within our results, to enhance the visibility of the underlying growth rate of net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS

We use adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS as measures of operating performance in conjunction with related IFRS measures.

Adjusted basic EPS is used in conjunction with other non-IFRS measures and excludes certain items (as listed below) in order to increase comparability of the metric from period to period, which we believe makes it useful for management, our audit committee and investors to assess our financial performance over time.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period on a fully diluted basis. For the purpose of operational performance measurement, we calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS in a manner that fully excludes the impact of any costs related to share-based compensation and includes the tax effect on the tax deductible portion of the non-IFRS adjustments.

The tables below provide a reconciliation between net income and adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS for the periods presented:

Net Sales on a Constant Currency Basis

Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-IFRS measure which represents current period results that have been retranslated using exchange rates used in the prior year comparative period. We provide constant currency percent change in net sales in our results to enhance the visibility of the underlying growth rate of net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Below, we show reported net sales split out by sales channel, geography, and product, and include the reported percent change and the constant currency percent change.

Net Working Capital

Net working capital is a financial measure that is not defined under IFRS. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts, use this information to assess liquidity and management use of net working capital resources. We define net working capital as trade receivables, plus inventories, minus trade payables. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
