Dow Jones03-03 18:00
   --  Guided by a clear vision to build the most premium global sportswear 
      brand, On reaches a new level of scale and profitability in 2025, 
      exceeding its latest outlook across all metrics. Annual net sales surpass 
      CHF 3.0 billion for the first time, while cash exceeds CHF 1.0 billion at 
      year-end. Full-year net sales increase by 30.0% year-over-year, and by 
      35.6% on a constant currency basis, reaching CHF 3,014.0 million. 
      Full-year profitability reaches new highs, with gross profit margin 
      expanding to 62.8% and adjusted EBITDA margin to 18.8%, reflecting 
      structural operational efficiencies and the strength of On's premium 
      positioning. 
 
   --  Fourth quarter net sales reach CHF 743.8 million, growing 22.6% 
      year-over-year on a reported basis and 30.6% on a constant currency 
      basis. Increasing global brand awareness, now approaching 30%, together 
      with disciplined premium execution during the holiday season, drives 
      strong performance across both Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") and Wholesale 
      channels. 
 
   --  Execution against On's strategic priorities continues to deliver strong, 
      broad-based growth. In 2025, On expands its network of premium brand hubs 
      to nearly 70 own retail locations, with high-impact retail formats 
      deepening consumer engagement. Apparel and accessories reach a combined 
      7.0% of net sales, up 190 basis points year-over-year, reinforcing On's 
      evolution into a true toe-to-head brand. The Asia-Pacific region 
      surpasses CHF 500 million in annual net sales, demonstrating exceptional 
      demand across markets and channels. 
 
   --  Fourth quarter gross profit margin reaches 63.9%, a new Q4 record, up 
      180 basis points year-over-year, driven by structural operational 
      efficiencies, strong full-price execution and favorable foreign exchange 
      dynamics. Adjusted EBITDA margin reaches 17.6%, up 120 basis points 
      year-over-year, as On continues disciplined reinvestment into brand 
      building, innovation, technology and retail expansion. 
 
   --  Entering the final year of its three-year strategy from a position of 
      significant strength, On will further scale its LightSpray$(TM)$ technology, 
      advance innovation across its core running franchises and continue 
      expanding its apparel offering. Together with the ongoing elevation of 
      premium brand expression across channels, these pillars are expected to 
      further deepen consumer engagement and drive long-term customer value. 
 
   --  On looks into 2026 with high confidence in its growth trajectory, 
      expecting net sales to grow by at least 23% on a constant currency basis. 
      At current spot rates, this implies reported net sales of at least CHF 
      3.44 billion. The company anticipates continued elevated profitability, 
      with a full-year gross profit margin of at least 63.0% and an adjusted 
      EBITDA margin between 18.5% and 19.0%.
