Despite the challenges of global supply chain congestion in early 2022, ASICS EMEA has increased revenues year to date (YTD) by 4,1%* versus the same period last year, with operating income margin of 11,6% YTD.
ASICS EMEA reported growth in wholesale channels in all major European markets as well as in own retail channel.
ASICS EMEA, Chief Executive Officer, Carsten Unbehaun, said: “We’ve seen very strong demand for our brand across all categories in 2022. However, global supply chain congestion in early 2022 impacted product availability. Over the last quarter, we’ve implemented solutions to fast-track products to our partners and consumers and now have strong momentum. I am very encouraged by these results and would like to thank our partners for their support.”
