to this month's Sports Insight
Brexit still
rumbles
on causing
uncertainty
and volatility
in the money
markets,
with sterling
falling
against the dollar and the euro.
This edition Paul Sherratt
takes a look at the implications
for the sports industry going
forward as we wait for article
50 to be triggered.
What are the currency
implications? How will it impact
exports? And what about the
dreaded paperwork?
We also take a look at the
trends in the tennis market across
Europe with the NPD Group.
What are the drivers for
clothing in the tennis market and
why has footwear declined over
the last decade?
We also take a look back
over the career of Everton
legend Graeme Sharp and his
views on the modern game and
chips, obviously.
Also in this month's edition,
Intersport UK general manager
Tom Foley spells out the reasons
why community, consistency and
innovation are drivers for the group.
By the time this edition has
gone to print I hope to have met
a lot of you at the Stag Winter
Buying Show and heard your
views on the new look magazine
and what you expect from the
industry in the months ahead.
As this is the last Sports
Insight of 2016, I'd like to wish
everyone a merry Christmas and a
prosperous New Year.

Puma growth
Puma has announced
continued growth in the third
quarter of 2016.
Sales increased by 10.7
per cent, currency adjusted to
€990.2 million (+8.3% reported).
The brand said that all
regions contributed to this
growth, with EMEA and the
Americas being the main drivers.
Footwear once again
performed particularly well with
a currency adjusted increase of
16.4 per cent.
The EMEA region continued
its growth, supported by strong
demand for footwear products.

sell-through of our products at
retail in the third quarter. New
product lines like the Fierce, the
Platform, the Ignite Dual and
the Fenty lines have shown to
be “right” for the consumers and
our marketing with personalities
like Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Cara
Delevingne and, of course, the
unbelievable performance of
Usain Bolt, have increased our
brand heat.
“More consumers are buying
our new products at full price
and retailers are therefore more
satisfied with us. It is now our
job to use this momentum to get
more of the right Puma products
on their shelves.
“Sales developed a little
better than expected, gross

margin came in as expected and
this combined with a strong
discipline on the cost side
resulted in a nice improvement
in our earnings.”
With three months to go
Puma are confident in fulfilling
their guidance and expect
their full-year EBIT to be in
the upper half of the already
communicated range of €115
million to €125 million.
