Anta Sports reports double-digit growth in annual revenue and operating profit

Chinese sportswear provider Anta Sports Products Limited experienced strong growth in the 2025 financial year. According to an interim statement, revenue last year amounted to 80.2 billion Chinese yuan. This represented an increase of 13.3 percent compared to the previous year.

The group stated that this allowed it to consolidate its “leading position in the Chinese sportswear market”. This is also positive news for the German sportswear manufacturer Puma SE. At the end of January, Anta Sports announced its intention to acquire around 29 percent of the shares in the Herzogenaurach-based company. This would make Anta the largest shareholder in Puma and is expected to significantly improve the heritage brand's strategic position in China.

All divisions contributed to the revenue growth last year. Revenue in the Anta segment rose by 3.7 percent to 34.8 billion Chinese yuan, and in the Fila division by 6.9 percent to 28.4 billion Chinese yuan. The group's other brands achieved total sales of 17.0 billion Chinese yuan, not least thanks to the acquisition of outdoor equipment supplier Jack Wolfskin. This surpassed the previous year's level by 59.2 percent.

The group also made progress in its operating results. Thanks to revenue growth and a slightly improved margin, operating profit increased by 15.0 percent to 19.1 billion Chinese yuan. However, the reported net profit attributable to shareholders decreased by 7.8 percent to 15.7 billion Chinese yuan due to negative special effects. Adjusted for one-off factors, however, it rose by 13.9 percent to 13.6 billion Chinese yuan.
