On Reports Results for the Second Quarter and Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2026

On delivers another quarter of premium growth, driven by the strength of its brand, disciplined execution and a deepening connection with consumers worldwide. Net sales increase by 13.5% year-over-year, or by 21.6% on a constant currency basis, to CHF 850.3 million. Growth is led by the extraordinary strength of On’s Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) channel, which increases by 26.0%, or 34.3% on a constant currency basis, exceeding expectations in every single region. DTC reaches a new second-quarter high of 45.7% of net sales, while global brand awareness climbs to 30%, as a whole new generation of fans discovers On. On continues to successfully execute on its strategic priorities. The Asia-Pacific region again delivers more than 20% of global net sales, powered by standout momentum across Japan, South Korea and Greater China. Net sales in Apparel increase by 47.7%, or 56.2% on a constant currency basis, scaling at pace across verticals. On’s own retail stores drive further gains in key metrics from an already high base, as the Company extends its global network of highly profitable premium brand hubs. In recent weeks On has also opened its first-ever stores in São Paulo and Copenhagen. Reflecting the substantial increase in DTC share, sustainable operational efficiencies and an unwavering commitment to full-price discipline, On delivers another quarter of exceptional profitability. Gross profit margin reaches 65.4%, up 3.9 percentage points year-over-year, even while fully absorbing higher U.S. import tariffs and excluding any tariff refunds. Adjusted EBITDA margin reaches 19.8%, up from 18.2% in the prior year, corresponding to absolute adjusted EBITDA of CHF 168.1 million. Net income margin reaches 12.3%. On demonstrates strong cash conversion, with cash and cash equivalents increasing to CHF 1,205.6 million. On further strengthens its position at the intersection of performance, design and culture. At its inaugural Running Summit, the Company unveils the next generation of performance running products that hit the market in the second half of this year and in 2027. This includes the recently launched Cloudboom Strike 2 and the new SURREAL superfoam which will debut in the Cloudsurfer 3 later this year. LightSpray continues to scale from elite validation into a commercial engine and will be introduced to further core franchises. At the same time, On’s connection with a new generation deepens: consumers under 34 now represent over one-third of the customer base, with the Cloudtilt franchise resonating particularly strongly with this important demographic. Consistent with its premium strategy and commitment to only pursuing growth that protects and elevates the brand, On expects full-year 2026 constant currency net sales growth in the low-20% range. This includes the deliberate management of wholesale sell-in, including to secure a strong and clean runway for the upcoming breakthrough innovations. Reflecting On’s growing DTC mix and the enduring strength of its full-price discipline, On raises its full-year gross profit margin expectation to at least 65.0% and reiterates its adjusted EBITDA margin guidance of 19.5% to 20.0%.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital and net sales on a constant currency basis are non-IFRS measures used by us to evaluate our performance. Furthermore, we believe these non-IFRS measures enhance investors' understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period because they enhance the comparability of results between each period, help identify trends in operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how management evaluates the business. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital and net sales on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. For a detailed description and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure, see the section titled “Non-IFRS Measures.” Outlook Following a very strong first half of 2026, On approaches the second half of the year with discipline and commitment to its premium growth model. While DTC momentum remains highly encouraging, On is deliberately managing wholesale sell-in to protect full-price integrity in a promotional marketplace, ensuring a clean runway for On's upcoming breakthrough innovations leading into 2027. Reflecting this disciplined approach, and excluding any benefits from anticipated tariff refunds in the second half of the year, On expects the following for full-year 2026: Net Sales: Expected to grow in the low-20% range on a constant currency basis, with the DTC channel expected to strongly outperform wholesale in the second half of the year. At current spot rates, this implies absolute net sales of CHF 3.47 billion to CHF 3.56 billion. Gross profit margin: Expected to be at least 65.0%, demonstrating the strength of and commitment to On's premium operating model and the highly favorable DTC mix. Adjusted EBITDA margin: As On continues to pursue high quality growth and keeps investing in its future, adjusted EBITDA margin is expected in the range 19.5% to 20.0%. Other than with respect to IFRS net sales and gross profit margin, On only provides guidance on a non-IFRS basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. As a result, we are not able to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a reconciliation to net income. The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including those stated below and in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Non-IFRS Measures Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital, and net sales on a constant currency basis are financial measures that are not defined under IFRS. We use these non-IFRS measures when evaluating our performance, including when making financial and operating decisions, and as a key component in the determination of variable incentive compensation for employees. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, these non-IFRS measures enhance investor understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period, because they exclude share-based compensation which is not viewed by management as part of our ongoing operations and performance, enhance the comparability of results between each period, help identify trends in operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how management evaluates the business. In particular, we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and net working capital are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the sportswear industry. However, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, net working capital, and net sales on a constant currency basis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. The tables below reconcile each non-IFRS measure to its most directly comparable IFRS measure. As noted above, we do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected net income being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this press release. Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-IFRS financial measure and should be viewed as a supplement to our results under IFRS. Net sales on a constant currency basis represents current period results that have been retranslated using exchange rates used in the prior year comparative period. We provide constant currency percent change in net sales within our results, to enhance the visibility of the underlying growth rate of net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
