What are the numbers of this success? Sales at 143 million euros, with a margin of +10.8%. Profits at 647 million, up +49%, while net profits arrive at 94 million.

Providing impetus to this growth is above all the brand’s performance in South and North America (+19.8% at 417 million) and Pacific Asia (+32.5% at 401 million), even if Europe/Middle/East/Africa stand strong with a +4.4% at 500 million.

As far as the products are concerned, while footwear grows by +10.2% and accessories are up by +13.4%, apparel arrives at an astounding +28.6%.

“It is the very best quarter Puma has ever seen – commented chief executive Bjorn Gulden – the revenue is the highest ever achieved in a quarter, with the EBIT also arriving at a record-breaking value. Growth in all the regions and product divisions demonstrates how we continue to make progress”.

With this result, the 2019 year-end forecasts of Puma rise to +10%, with a profit estimated between 395-415 million. Ten times more than what was recorded in 2015.
