ZURICH, November 12, 2025 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--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, 2025. Caspar Coppetti, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chairman of On, said: "This quarter was another one for the record books - a true showcase of our premium strategy in action. It reflects the best of what On stands for: innovation, purpose, and performance coming together to inspire movement. Our focus on excellence continues to drive powerful global momentum, earning deep trust with consumers and strengthening the core of our business. With an outstanding product pipeline and boosted by the remarkable achievements of On's athletes that embody our performance spirit, we carry this momentum forward with confidence and energy." Martin Hoffmann, CEO and CFO of On, said: "Our consistent execution continues to bring our strategy to life - winning in performance, elevating our brand, and engaging our expanding global community in credible and consistent ways. We’re strengthening our connection with customers through experiences that showcase our premium positioning - from our most elevated stores to the growing momentum of our apparel business. At the core, our focus on operational excellence and technology is making us faster, smarter, and more agile. These results give us strong confidence - both for a successful holiday season and for the long term, as we continue building the world’s most premium global sportswear brand." Key Financial and Operating Metrics Key financial and operating metrics for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 include: Key financial and operating metrics for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 include: Key financial and operating metrics as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 include: 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 Building on a year defined by strategic focus and outstanding execution, On looks ahead with strong confidence. Brand momentum remains exceptionally high, fueled in recent weeks by remarkable athlete achievements, cultural moments elevating On globally, and the launch of its inspiring holiday campaign. Reflecting the strength of its third-quarter performance and sustained momentum, On is raising its full-year 2025 guidance across all key metrics. 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 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.
