(How to access supplemental materials on quarterly business results)

ASICS is scheduled to hold conference call on business results for press on Friday, February 13, 2026 and for investors on Monday, February 16, 2026. We plan to post the materials used in the meeting on ASICS's website (https://corp.asics.com/en/investor_relations/library/financial_summary) on Friday, February 13, 2026.

  1. Qualitative information for consolidated business results

    Forward-looking statements in the text are our estimation as of the end of December 31, 2025.

    2025 in Review

    2025 was another year that clearly demonstrated ASICS's strong growth momentum.

    Net sales were ¥810.9 billion, increased by 19.5% year on year, operating profit was ¥142.5 billion, up 42.4%, and operating margin increased by 2.8 ppt to 17.6%. Both net sales and operating profit set new records highs for the fourth consecutive year.

    By category, all categories achieved both increased sales and profits. Notably, both SportStyle and Onitsuka Tiger achieved net sales exceeding ¥100.0 billion for the first time, culminating in growth of more than 40.0% compared with the previous fiscal year. Category profit margin increased by 2.0 ppt to 29.3% for SportStyle and by 3.7 ppt to 37.7% for Onitsuka Tiger. For Onitsuka Tiger specifically, this year marked the full-scale launch of efforts to expand its presence in Europe. Large flagship stores opened in Barcelona, Spain; London, UK; and Paris, France, all getting off to a strong start. The brand is beginning to establish its position as a Japanese luxury lifestyle brand. In January 2026, the Onitsuka Innovative Factory will commence operations in Sakaiminato City, Tottori Prefecture.

    This factory, boasting craftsmanship dedicated to Japanese manufacturing, aims to further enhance the brand's value.

    All regions achieved higher net sales and profit. ASICS Japan, in particular, saw sales increase by 34.7% compared to the previous period. Sales to inbound tourists were the primary driver, growing by 84%. Domestic Performance Running and SportStyle also showed significant growth. We will continue to focus on strengthening the ASICS brand within Japan. Sales in Southeast and South Asia grew by 33.4% year-on-year. In October, we opened our first ASICS flagship store in New Delhi, India. Even in Europe, where the ASICS brand is already strong and holds a high market share, sales grew by 25.9% year-on-year. Furthermore, despite concerns about economic weakness, sales in Greater China remained robust, growing by 19.9% year-on-year.

    Furthermore, we were the recipient of multiple distinguished favorable external assessments. The main details of two such assessments are profiled below.

    First, we received the IR Grand Prix at the 2025 IR Award selected by the Japan Investor Relations Association. Following our first award in 2023, we have now received the Grand Prix for the third consecutive year. We were commended for the proactive role of our management in enhancing IR activities and strengthen initiatives targeting individual investors.

    Second, we received the Grand Prize Company award, which is the top honor in Corporate Governance of the Year 2025 organized by the Japan Association of Corporate Directors. We were recognized for practicing stakeholder-dialogue-based governance, seeking board operations with a heightened sense of urgency following the sale of all cross-shareholdings, and focusing on reducing capital costs, which is organically linked to our compensation system for executives and employees.

    2025 was a year not only of strong performance and external recognition, but also one where we sowed the seeds for our future leap forward.

    Through opportunities like the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25, where ASICS served as an Official Partner, and the "Tokyo:Speed:Race" event held in May where runners of all levels challenged themselves to break personal records, we successfully communicated the ASICS brand within Japan and as a brand originating from Japan. At the 25th Summer Deaflympics Tokyo 2025, we supported the Japanese delegation as an Official Partner. We also launched the METASPEED RAY, the lightest model in the series packed with ASICS innovation, and many athletes wore the METASPEED series. Building on these initiatives, we established a significant foothold for elevating the ASICS brand.

    Additionally, ASICS has acquired multiple race registration companies over the past several years, developing a running ecosystem that supports the runner's journey from race registration through to post-race, not just at the point of product purchase. In November, we announced the acquisition of race registration companies in Spain and Thailand, laying the groundwork for further expanding our reach to runners worldwide.

    In the innovation field, ASICS expanded its R&D base beyond Japan to a global scale. To incorporate diverse insights, ASICS established a partnership with the University of Michigan in December. The "ASICS-Michigan Sports Innovation Center" will be established, enabling ASICS to leverage the University of Michigan's world-class, cutting-edge research integrating sports and technology, as well as its athlete access programs. Working closely with the ASICS Institute of Sport Science, we aim to create innovations that contribute even more significantly to athlete performance.

    Regarding our business foundation, we have established a system to regularly verify the alignment between business forecasts and production plans, utilizing historical sales data and other information. We are strengthening supply and demand planning management at the product level, advancing inventory optimization, and steadily progressing toward achieving operational excellence.

    Following its 2024 capital policy, ASICS is practicing "Head-on management," facing the capital markets. In 2025, after individual discussions with many shareholders and approval at the shareholders' meeting, the ASICS Foundation was established in April.

    Returning to our founding philosophy, this foundation aims to realize a society where more people enjoy exercise and sports, leading to

    improved physical and mental health. In its first year, the foundation will support the expansion of activities by providing grants for up to three years to six organizations across four countries: Japan, India, Indonesia, and Cambodia. This marks a significant step toward enhancing the ASICS Group's corporate value over the medium to long term.

    As described above, we believe 2025 has laid the foundation for our further advancement in 2026 and the subsequent medium-term plan period starting in 2027.

    Major initiatives in 2026

    For 2026, we plan to achieve net sales of ¥950 billion, operating profit of ¥171 billion, and an operating margin of 18.0%. We will continue running in 2026 without slowing the pace of our growth to date.

    In Performance Running, we will continue innovative product development, aiming for the No. 1 share in major marathons. In Core Performance Sports, we will maintain our focus on tennis while strengthening sports categories beyond tennis. In SportStyle, we will expand our product lineup while pursuing sustainable growth within this massive market. For Onitsuka Tiger, we will further solidify our brand position in Europe and advance preparations for re-entering the U.S. market in 2027 and later.

    Furthermore, we will implement measures for sustainable growth across all regions. For example, significant expansion potential remains in Greater China, where we will extend the ASICS brand footprint. In North America, we are steadily increasing sales at running specialty stores. Leveraging the brand equity cultivated here, we will further strengthen the expansion of mid-priced products, which represent a larger market segment. Furthermore, declaring 2026 the "Year of ASIA," we will harness the momentum of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Events to dedicate our efforts to further enhancing the brand in Asia. Specifically, we will accelerate growth even further in Southeast Asia, where the running market is rapidly expanding, aiming to achieve $100 million in sales across Southeast Asian countries at an early stage.

    As ASICS continues its significant growth beyond 2026, we anticipate our cash generation capacity will become exceptionally strong. We will intensify discussions to formulate strategies for investments aimed at further future growth.

    To maximize corporate value through our transformation into a Global Integrated Enterprise ("GIE"), we are also strengthening human capital, which is as important as financial capital. Specific initiatives include: placing foreign national employees in Headquarter positions from a company-wide optimization perspective; introducing an overseas assignment program for young employees to cultivate future management talent; and setting starting salaries for new graduates at ¥330,000 for university graduates and ¥350,000 for graduate school graduates. We will also actively consider and promote investments in human capital, which are essential for enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term.

    2026 will be a crucial year, serving as the launchpad for our next Mid-Term Plan covering 2027 to 2029. With an eye toward further growth and transformation into GIE, we will advance discussions on this next Mid-Term Plan globally and as one ASICS team, incorporating the opinions of our broad range of stakeholders.

    "Turn those days into strength." We will continue running in 2026, using our past efforts as a solid driving force for further growth!

    5. Basic policy for distribution of profits and dividends for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026

    ASICS recognizes the return of profits to our shareholders as one of the management's top priorities. In order to achieve the total return ratio target of 50% during the period of the Mid-Term Plan, as set in the Mid-Term Plan 2026, ASICS will consider profit distributions based on the assumption of continued progressive dividends. ASICS will also strike a balance going forward between returns to shareholders and investments for growth, based on the capital allocation policy in the Mid-Term Plan 2026.

    ASICS's basic policy for the dividends from the surplus is to pay dividends twice a year in the form of interim dividends (record date of June 30) and year-end dividends.

    Because net sales and operating profit recorded their highest-ever levels in the fiscal year under review, ASICS plans to pay the highest-ever dividend (of which, includes an interim dividend of ¥12.00 per share) of ¥28.00 per share.

    ASICS expects to pay dividends of ¥ 38.00 per share (of which, ¥ 18.00 per share is from the interim dividend) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

    Furthermore, at a Board of Directors meetinng held on February 13, 2026, ASICS resolved to make changes to its shareholder benefit program. These changes will be applied to the shareholder benefit program with a record date of the end of June 2026. Details of the changes will be announced at a later date on the ASICS website.
