Company Announcements

• Guided by a clear vision to build the most premium global sportswear brand, On reaches a new level of scale and profitability in 2025, exceeding its latest outlook across all metrics. Annual net sales surpass CHF 3.0 billion for the first time, while cash exceeds CHF 1.0 billion at year-end. Full-year net sales increase by 30.0% year-over-year, and by 35.6% on a constant currency basis, reaching CHF 3,014.0 million. Full-year profitability reaches new highs, with gross profit margin expanding to 62.8% and adjusted EBITDA margin to 18.8%, reflecting structural operational efficiencies and the strength of On’s premium positioning.
• Fourth quarter net sales reach CHF 743.8 million, growing 22.6% year-over-year on a reported basis and 30.6% on a constant currency basis. Increasing global brand awareness, now approaching 30%, together with disciplined premium execution during the holiday season, drives strong performance across both Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) and Wholesale channels.
• Execution against On’s strategic priorities continues to deliver strong, broad-based growth. In 2025, On expands its network of premium brand hubs to nearly 70 own retail locations, with high-impact retail formats deepening consumer engagement. Apparel and accessories reach a combined 7.0% of net sales, up 190 basis points year-over-year, reinforcing On’s evolution into a true toe-to-head brand. The Asia-Pacific region surpasses CHF 500 million in annual net sales, demonstrating exceptional demand across markets and channels.
• Fourth quarter gross profit margin reaches 63.9%, a new Q4 record, up 180 basis points year-over-year, driven by structural operational efficiencies, strong full-price execution and favorable foreign exchange dynamics. Adjusted EBITDA margin reaches 17.6%, up 120 basis points year-over-year, as On continues disciplined reinvestment into brand building, innovation, technology and retail expansion.
• Entering the final year of its three-year strategy from a position of significant strength, On will further scale its LightSpray™ technology, advance innovation across its core running franchises and continue expanding its apparel offering. Together with the ongoing elevation of premium brand expression across channels, these pillars are expected to further deepen consumer engagement and drive long-term customer value.
• On looks into 2026 with high confidence in its growth trajectory, expecting net sales to grow by at least 23% on a constant currency basis. At current spot rates, this implies reported net sales of at least CHF 3.44 billion. The company anticipates continued elevated profitability, with a full-year gross profit margin of at least 63.0% and an adjusted EBITDA margin between 18.5% and 19.0%.

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

Propelled by the record-breaking performance of 2025, On moves into the final year of its three-year strategy from a position of significant strength, accelerating toward its vision of being the most premium global sportswear brand. The Company is performing materially ahead of the mid-term targets established at its 2023 Investor Day, driven by a breakthrough innovation pipeline and the global scaling of its premium brand expression. Capitalizing on its powerful financial engine and sustained brand desirability, On is positioned to deliver premium growth in 2026:

• Net sales: Expected to grow by at least 23% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. At current spot rates, this implies reported net sales of at least CHF 3.44 billion. This factors in a higher base following On's strong fourth quarter results, therefore representing a further elevation of the Company's ambition.
• Gross profit margin: Expected to reach at least 63.0%.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin: Expected to be in the range of 18.5% to 19.0%.

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.

Reconciliation of non-IFRS measures

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin

The table below provides a reconciliation between net income / (loss) and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to adjusted EBITDA for the period presented as a percentage of net sales for the same period.

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.

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, which we believe increases comparability of the metric from period to period, and makes it useful for management, our audit committee and investors to assess our financial performance over time.

Adjusted basic EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period on a fully diluted basis.

The table below provides 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 sales by sales channel

The following tables present net sales by sales channel:

Net sales by geography

The following tables present net sales by geographic region (based on the location of the counterparty):

Net sales by product

The following tables present net sales by product group:

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.
