Puma reports Q3 sales increase on rising running and soccer shoes demand


German sportswear maker Puma on Wednesday reported a 5% rise in currency-adjusted sales for the third quarter as it sold more running and soccer shoes.

Quarterly currency-adjusted sales rose to 2.31 billion euros ($2.48 billion), broadly stable from a year earlier but short of the 2.36 billion euros expected by analysts, according to LSEG data, as negative effects from foreign exchange rates continued to weigh on the business.

Footwear sales were up 9.3%.

Demand for the recently relaunched Formula 1-inspired 'Speedcat' shoe was strong, CEO Arne Freundt said in a statement.

The company confirmed its full-year outlook for currency adjusted revenue in mid single-digit percentage, and core profit (EBIT) of between 620 million to 670 million euros, citing a strong order book for the remainder of the year. - Reuters
