**) Non-recurring items are exceptional transactions that are not related to
normal business operations. The most common non-recurring items are capital
gains, exceptional write-downs, provisions for planned restructuring and
penalties. Non-recurring items are normally specified individually if they have
a material impact on EBIT.

HEIKKI TAKALA, PRESIDENT AND CEO:"We had a satisfactory start to the year amid very cautious trading conditions
in Western Europe, coupled with on-going customer destocking and late spring
season start in North America with adverse impact especially on Ball Sports. We
continued to make strong positive progress in our strategic growth areas, most
notably Apparel, emerging markets expansion (Russia and China) and Business to
Consumer. Fitness continued to improve with international sales growing at high
double-digit rate. Precor quarterly profitability was down partly due to
reporting changes with no full year impact. We continued to pursue scale and
synergies in areas such as third party distributor consolidation, with adverse
short term topline and profit impact, but with significant future upside
potential and a relative quick payout.

The first quarter is typically a low quarter for Amer Sports, and we are still
seeing a shift from pre-order based sales toward re-orders in several of our
categories. Whilst the external conditions remain challenging we remain well in
line with our growth and profitability improvement targets with a positive full
year outlook. We continue seeing strong ongoing improvement across the company,
and we are confident our strategies are working."

Gross margin was 44.2% (44.2). Gross margin continued to improve in Apparel and
Footwear, and was at same level in the other business areas compared to last
year, except in Fitness, where it declined due to adaptation of new timing for

volumes contributed approximately EUR 4 million to EBIT. Operating expenses

Individual Ball Sports
Individual Ball Sports' net sales were EUR 95.5 million (97.6), and were at last
year's level in local currencies. Sales of tennis rackets were negatively
influenced by a change in cadence of product launches from the first quarter of
the year to the fourth quarter to better meet market demands, and late start of
the spring season. Golf's sales increased driven by new product launches and
expanded distribution.

Team Sports' net sales were EUR 68.5 million (76.0), a decrease of 9% in local

EBIT was EUR -0.4 million (3.9) mainly due to lower gross margin which declined
due to adaptation of new timing for vendor rebates recognition and more strength
equipment based sales mix. Increased sales volumes contributed approximately EUR
1 million to EBIT, offset by higher sales and distribution expenses (all in
local currencies).

Personnel
At the end of March, the number of Group employees was 7,236 (December
31, 2012: 7,186). The increase came mainly from personnel working in sales and
distribution. The increase in Headquarters and shared services was due to
establishing a shared financial service center in the EMEA region which will
bring scale and synergy benefits.

GROUP-WIDE RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM
Amer Sports' restructuring program, started at the beginning of November 2012,
is continuing as planned. The program will drive further scale and synergies and
cost efficiencies, as well as sustain growth through resource allocation
especially into softgoods and expansion markets and channels. The program is
estimated to deliver an annual cost saving of EUR 20 million once fully executed
by the end of 2014. The program contributes to reaching the Group's long-term
profitability target of 10% EBIT. The expected headcount impact of the
restructuring program once fully implemented is approximately 250, mainly in
Winter and Outdoor.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Amer Sports' business is balanced by its broad portfolio of sports and brands,
the increasing share of softgoods in the company portfolio as well as the
company's presence in all major markets. Short-term risks for Amer Sports are
particularly associated with general economic conditions, consumer demand
development in Europe, North America and Japan, the ability to identify and
respond to constantly shifting trends and the ability to leverage advancements
in technologies and to develop new and appealing products.

Further information on the company's business risks and uncertainty factors is
available on the company's web site at www.amersports.com/investors.

OUTLOOK FOR 2013
In 2013, Amer Sports' net sales growth in local currencies is expected to meet
at minimum the company's long-term annual 5% growth target and EBIT margin
excluding non-recurring items is expected to improve from 2012. Amer Sports
expects the trading environment to remain challenging in 2013. The company will
continue to focus on softgoods growth, consumer-driven product and marketing
innovation, commercial expansion and operational excellence.

Outlook given in the Financial Statements Bulletin 2012, January 31, 2013

marketing innovation, commercial expansion and operational excellence. In 2013,

items are expected to increase from 2012.

statements for 2012 have also been applied in the preparation of the interim
financial information, with the changes mentioned below.

Standards, interpretations and amendments adopted from the beginning of 2013:
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been adopted
when applicable: IAS 19 (amendment), IAS 34 (amendment) in connection with IFRS
7 (amendment) and IFRS 13 (amendment), IAS 1 (amendment), IFRS 12 (amendment),
IAS 32 (amendment) and the annual improvements. The impacts of the amendments to

sales and earnings before interest and taxes. The chief operating decision maker
of Amer Sports is the Executive Board.

There were no intersegment business operations during the reported periods.

company, the shareholders or the associated companies.

6. ONGOING LITIGATIONS
The Group has extensive international operations and is involved in a number of
legal proceedings, including product liability suits. The Group does not expect
the outcome of any legal proceedings currently pending to have materially
adverse effect upon its consolidated results or financial position.

7. SEASONALITY
Although Amer Sports operates in a number of sporting goods segments during all
four seasons, its business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically,
the third and fourth quarters of a financial year have been the strongest
quarters for Amer Sports in terms of both net sales and profitability, mainly
because sales of winter sports equipment ahead of the winter season typically
take place during the third and fourth quarters. The summer season for ball
sports balances seasonality to a certain extent, as the strongest quarters for
the Ball Sports segment are the first and second quarters. Usually the net cash
flow from operating activities is very strong in the first quarter when the
income from winter sports equipment realizes. Especially during the third
quarter, the net cash flow from operating activities is tied up in working
capital.

8. Derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets
measured at fair value

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is
recognized through income statement and derivative financial instruments used in
hedge accounting are presented in the following table. All derivatives are
classified as Level 2 instruments whose fair value is determined by using
valuation techniques from observable market data. Available-for-sale financial
assets are classified as Level 3 instruments and valued by using valuation
techniques without any observable market data.

The company's derivative financial instruments may include foreign exchange
forward contracts and options, interest rate swaps and interest rate options and
cross-currency swaps. Foreign exchange forward contracts and options are used to
hedge against changes in the value of receivables, liabilities and future cash
flows denominated in a foreign currency and interest rate swaps and interest
rate options to hedge against the interest rate risk. Cross-currency swaps are
used to hedge against changes in value of foreign currency denominated
receivables and liabilities and against the interest rate risk.

Derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently recognized at
fair value. Fair values of foreign currency denominated derivatives are measured
by recognizing the exchange rate difference by using the closing rates quoted by
the European Central Bank on the reporting date. The future cash flows related
to forward contract's interest rate differential are discounted with the
relevant market interest rate yield curves on the reporting date and compared
with initial interest rate differential. The time value of foreign exchange
options is measured using commonly known option pricing models. The expected
future cash flows of the interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps are
discounted with the market interest yield curves of the currencies concerned.
Interest rate options are valued by using commonly known option pricing models.
The accrued interest of forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross
currency swaps are periodized over the duration of the instruments on a net
basis.

The counterparty risk of the company hasn't materially changed and hence has no
material effect on the valuation of the company's derivative instruments.

Available-for-sale financial assets are Level 3 instruments whose exact fair
values can't be reliably measured. The fair values of available-for-sale assets
are presented at bookkeeping value or a lower value if they are impaired. The
fair values do not materially deviate from the bookkeeping value.

9. AMENDMENTS TO IAS 19 STANDARD
Amer Sports has adopted amendments to IAS 19 standard (Employee Benefits) as of
Jan 1, 2013.

Key changes in the standard for Amer Sports' defined benefit postemployment
plans are as follows:

1. Remeasurements
All actuarial gains and losses ("remeasurements") are recognized in full in
other comprehensive income. The "corridor" method and the option to recognize
immediately in the profit and loss statement is no longer available. This is
expected to increase balance sheet volatility.

2. New measurement of net interest expense
Net interest expense is determined based on the net defined benefit asset
(liability) and the discount rate at the beginning of the year. This is expected
to increase overall expense compared to previous accounting which required that
the interest expense on obligation and the expected return on plan assets were
recognised separately.

3. Past service cost
All past service cost are now recognized immediately in the profit and loss
statement.

4. Reporting in profit and loss statement
Under old IAS 19 all expenses related to defined benefit postemployment plans
were reported above EBIT. As of January 1, 2013 they are reported as follows:
- service cost: above EBIT
- net interest expense: in financing expenses
- remeasurement components: under other comprehensive income

Adaption of revised IAS 19 standard increased Amer Sports' pension liability by
EUR 40.6 million and decreased shareholders' equity by EUR 27.1 million as at
Dec 31, 2012.

Q1 and full year 2012 restated key financial statements:
