After a strong finish in 2011, PUMAs first-quarter sales growth could not keep pace with that of recent quarters, translating into weaker bottom line results, said Franz Koch, CEO of PUMA SE. Our first quarter sales performance indicates that we are facing challenges in Europe. As a consequence, we have begun to respond to these challenges, optimizing the efficiency of our business model in the EMEA region. In addition, I am confident that the product innovations we have in the pipelines will contribute to achieving our full-year sales and earnings targets against the background of this extraordinary sports year.

PUMA also expanded its international club portfolio by signing the Brazilian Club Botafogo from Rio de Janeiro and the Italian Serie A club US Palermo. In addition, PUMA extended its partnership with French football club Girondins de Bordeaux. The Teamsport business is expected to benefit not only from these new acquisitions, but also from the UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland/ Ukraine in June. PUMA Running was driven by the light-weight PUMA Faas range, which includes the ongoing best-seller PUMA Faas 300. The Running category will receive a further support in the second quarter with the unveiling of Olympic performance and lifestyle collections of the Jamaican athletics team designed by Cedella Marley, daughter of Reggae legend Bob Marley, at the beginning of June. Motorsport remained active during the first quarter. PUMA boosted its Formula 1 portfolio by signing new contracts with Mercedes GP Petronas. Nico Rosberg then provided the perfect start to this partnership, scoring his maiden F1 victory in his Mercedes AMG Petronas car at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai two weeks ago. Sales in Sailing also continued to increase as the marketing activities around the Volvo Ocean Race and the press coverage of PUMAs most recent success in this ocean marathon have been positive. In the current Americas Cup World Series PUMA, who serves as the exclusive licensee for the Americas Cup Event Authority and the PUMA-sponsored Team ORACLE Racing, are getting prepared for the next exciting regattas in Venice in May and Newport, Rhode Island in June.
Satisfying retail performance Retail sales constituted 122 million, or 14.9% of total sales, in the first three months of 2012, an improvement of 15.2% year on year, underlined by positive comparable sales in the current store portfolio and newly opened stores in 2012. Operating Expenses rise as growth strategy is implemented Operating expenses rose by 8.0% to 322 million in the first quarter of 2012, as the Back on the Attack growth strategy continues to be implemented. This represents 39.3% of group sales compared to 38.6% in 2011. This increase was mostly due to rising marketing, research, design and development expenditures. Another component of the increase is the expansion of the retail store portfolio over the past twelve months. Operating Result (EBIT) impacted by drop in gross profit margin Operating profit declined in the first three months of 2012 from 111.0 million to 102.0 million, caused mainly by the drop in gross profit margin. The moderate increase in operating expenses was in line with PUMAs plans. As a consequence, the EBIT ratio decreased from 14.4% last year to 12.4% this year. Financial Result / Income from associated companies improves The financial result improved from -0.2 million to 1.1 million in the first quarter due to positive currency developments. Earnings before Taxes (EBT) lower PUMAs first-quarter EBT was lower at 103.1 million in 2012 compared to 110.8 million in 2011, representing 12.6% of group sales compared to 14.3% at this time last year. Tax expenses also fell from 33.1 million to 27.9 million, representing a tax rate of 27.1% versus 29.9% for the comparable period in 2011. Net Earnings drop slightly

Consolidated net earnings dropped slightly by 4.9% from 77.7 million to 73.9 million. Earnings per share therefore also fell back from 5.17 in 2011 to 4.92 in the first quarter of 2012.
PUMAs management has taken actions to improve the companys cost structure and strengthen product desirability to foster sales growth and profitability. PUMA is confident of achieving the full year targets as outlined in the 2011 annual report. Management continues to foresee sales increases in the high single-digit range and an increase in net earnings in the mid-single digit range for the full year.
