According to the financial report, in the first quarter of 2024, the revenue of Yamafin Sports's outdoor functional clothing business increased to $510 million. The growth of this sector was mainly driven by Archaeopteryx, and its new stores achieved double-digit expansion during the reporting period.

In addition, in the first quarter, Yamafin Sports' mountain outdoor clothing and equipment business revenue increased by 6% year-on-year to $400 million, mainly due to the mid decade growth of Salomon footwear and clothing business led by the Asia Pacific and Greater China regions, partially offset by the winter sports equipment business affected by warmer weather and high inventory. Yamafen Sports's third largest segment, the ball and racket equipment business, saw a year-on-year decrease of 14% in revenue to $273 million, mainly due to the continued challenges facing the core market of Weiersheng.

From the perspective of regional market performance, in the first quarter, Yamafin Sports's revenue in the Americas remained unchanged from the same period last year, at approximately $410 million.
