  • Third‑quarter revenue rose 29.7% to $1.76 billion with net income of $143.1 million, or 25 cents per diluted share.
  • Management raised full‑year 2025 targets to 23%–24% revenue growth, about 58% gross margin, 12.5%–12.7% operating margin, and EPS of 88–92 cents.
  • Results were led by exceptional Salomon footwear growth and a re‑accelerating Arc’teryx, alongside solid contributions from Wilson Tennis and winter sports equipment.
