Exhibit 99.1
On Reports Results for the Third Quarter and Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2026
•On delivers record net sales and the highest gross profit margin in its history as it pursues its ambition to redefine what a sportswear brand can be. Third quarter net sales increase by 17.2% year-over-year, or by 17.8% on a constant currency basis, to CHF 931.4 million, surpassing CHF 900 million in a quarter for the first time, with every channel, region and category contributing strongly. Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) net sales increase by 25.0%, or 24.8% on a constant currency basis, lifting DTC to 42.2% of net sales. Each region achieves its highest quarterly net sales to date, and EMEA reaches a new milestone, surpassing CHF 250 million for the first time.
•On continues to successfully execute on its strategic priorities, with strong momentum in each of the three growth engines set out at its 2026 Investor Day. In Performance, led by Run, the biggest innovation cycle in On’s history begins: the Cloudsurfer 3 drives immediate credibility and strong sell-out in its run specialty pre-launch. In Lifestyle, led by Sneaker, the Cloudtilt remains one of the industry’s fastest-growing sneaker franchises. In Apparel, led by Her, net sales increase by 38.7%, or 38.0% on a constant currency basis, with the latest Zendaya collection becoming On’s most visible apparel launch yet.
•On’s margin is the output of the On Premium Playbook: innovation that consumers choose at full price, athletes who prove it on the world’s biggest stages, and premium experiences in On’s own and partner channels. In a promotional environment, gross profit margin reaches 72.6%, or 66.9% excluding CHF 52.6 million of U.S. tariff refunds. Adjusting for U.S. tariff refunds and a one-time benefit from lower freight and other costs in the prior-year period, gross profit margin is up around 320 basis points year-over-year. Together with continued selective investment in innovation, technology, and On’s network of premium retail stores, this results in a net income margin of 17.5%, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.6%, or 21.9% excluding CHF 52.6 million of U.S. tariff refunds received.
•On further strengthens its position at the intersection of performance, design and culture, attracting a growing share of younger, culturally influential fans on its own terms. Since the quarter end, On’s athletes have continued to prove its breakthrough innovations on the world’s biggest stages, with a double victory at the Frankfurt Marathon and podium finishes in both the men’s and women’s races in New York - a first for On at a World Marathon Major. On successfully takes its first steps into new sports, its longer-term growth opportunity, with its football announcement becoming the most seen brand moment in its history.
•On reiterates its outlook for full-year 2026 net sales growth in the low-20% range on a constant currency basis. Including U.S. tariff refunds, On expects a gross profit margin of around 67.5% and an adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 21.0% to 21.5%. On a basis comparable to its previous outlook, which did not include the CHF 52.6 million U.S. tariff refunds received in the current period, On raises its gross profit margin outlook to around 66%, from at least 65%, and continues to expect an adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 19.5% to 20.0%.
ZURICH, Switzerland, November 10, 2026 - On Holding AG (NYSE: ONON) (“On,” “On Holding AG,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us”), has announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2026.
Caspar Coppetti, Founder and Co-CEO of On, said: "Seven weeks after our Investor Day, we are seeing the On Premium Playbook do exactly what it was built to do: create breakthrough products, validated by the world’s best athletes and brought to life through premium experiences wherever our fans meet us. The Cloudsurfer 3 is the first proof point of our biggest innovation cycle - and it is just getting started. Each of our strategic growth engines made significant progress this quarter, drawing a new generation of fans to the brand. In a promotional market, we stayed true to who we are and held full price, delivering record sales and record underlying margins."
Frank Sluis, CFO of On, said: "At our Investor Day, we said that premium is not the adjective in our financial model - it is the mechanism. This quarter showed what that means. Products that consumers choose at full price, a higher share of sales through our own channels and the efficiencies of scale delivered the highest gross profit margin in On’s history, even before U.S. tariff refunds. That margin gives us the strength to invest in the innovation, technology, stores and new sports behind our next phase of growth, and every part of that investment maps back to our three-year plan. We are even more excited about that plan today than on the day we presented it."

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding U.S. tariff refunds, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, gross profit margin excluding U.S. tariff refunds, 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, gross profit margin excluding U.S. tariff refunds, 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 section titled “Non-IFRS Measures.”
Outlook
With its holiday campaign now live and its newest technologies and products landing with consumers, On plans for net sales growth to accelerate in the fourth quarter. On will run the holiday season the way it has run the whole year, remaining committed to its premium positioning and full price discipline in a promotional environment.
On’s outlook now includes U.S. tariff refunds, so margin guidance is shown both including and excluding them; previous guidance did not include U.S. tariff refunds. For full-year 2026, On now expects:
•Net sales: Expected to grow in the low-20% range on a constant currency basis (unchanged). 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 around 67.5%, or around 66% excluding U.S. tariff refunds (previously at least 65%).
•Adjusted EBITDA margin: Expected to be in the range of 21.0% to 21.5%, or in the range of 19.5% to 20.0% excluding U.S. tariff refunds (unchanged).
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. The gross profit margin excluding U.S. tariff refunds excludes impacts from the CHF 52.6 million U.S. tariff refunds received during the three months ended September 30, 2026. 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 excluding U.S. tariff refunds, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, gross profit margin excluding U.S. tariff refunds, 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 gross profit margin excluding U.S. tariff refunds, and net working capital are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the sportswear industry.
However, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding U.S. tariff refunds, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS, gross profit margin excluding U.S. tariff refunds, 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.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS
We use adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS as measures of operating performance in conjunction with related IFRS measures.
For the purpose of operational performance measurement, we calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS in a manner that fully excludes the impact of any costs related to share-based compensation and includes the tax effect on the tax-deductible portion of the non-IFRS adjustments, which we believe increases comparability of the metric from period to period, and makes it useful for management, our audit committee and investors to assess our financial performance over time.
Adjusted basic EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period on a fully diluted basis.
The table below provides a reconciliation between net income and adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS for the periods presented:

Net Sales on a Constant Currency Basis
Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-IFRS measure which 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 in our results to enhance the visibility of the underlying growth rate of net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Below, we show reported net sales split out by sales channel, geography, and product, and include the reported percent change and the constant currency percent change.

Net Working Capital
Net working capital is a financial measure that is not defined under IFRS. We use and believe that certain investors and analysts use this information to assess liquidity and management use of net working capital resources. We define net working capital as trade receivables, plus inventories, minus trade payables. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS.
Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

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 section titled “Non-IFRS Measures.”

•Distribution expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 10.7% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 10.4% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily attributable to depreciation expense from new warehouse leases, partially offset by operational efficiencies during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026.
•Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 10.3% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 8.2% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by additional expenses incurred as a result of our expanding retail footprint, primarily due to retail store-related personnel costs and depreciation.
•Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.1% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 12.3% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a shift in the timing of our marketing campaigns as well as strong net sales growth.
•Share-based compensation expense decreased to CHF 17.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to CHF 23.0 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.
•General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 16.7% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 16.2% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. This increase is primarily driven by higher personnel expenses and higher IT and technology related expenses in the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, partially offset by lower administrative expenses.
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025
SG&A expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 210.3 million, or 18.7%, to CHF 1,334.1 million, compared to CHF 1,123.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. Excluding share-based compensation, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 49.1% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 47.4% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
The drivers for the fluctuations in SG&A expenses, mostly denominated as a percentage of net sales, can be summarized as follows:
•Distribution expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 10.2% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 10.9% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. This was primarily attributable to lower warehousing and delivery costs resulting from operational efficiency gains during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026.
•Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 9.5% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 8.2% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by additional expenses incurred as a result of our expanding retail footprint, primarily due to retail store-related personnel costs and depreciation.
•Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 13.0% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to 11.8% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by selective reinvestment of operational efficiency gains into meaningful brand building initiatives, including in digital environments and innovation activations.
•Share-based compensation expenses increased to CHF 50.6 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 from CHF 48.6 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
•General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was equal to 16.4% during both the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Higher personnel expenses and IT and technology related expenses were offset by the non-recurrence of one-off employee-related expenses and strong net sales growth.

Thereof, depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to right of use assets increased by CHF 8.3 million primarily as a result of the expansion of our retail stores and our enhanced warehouse and distribution facilities. In addition, depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to owned assets increased by CHF 4.3 million, primarily driven by production equipment.
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025
Depreciation and amortization expenses during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 23.8 million, or 25.6%, to CHF 116.7 million, compared to CHF 92.9 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. Thereof, depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to right of use assets increased by CHF 16.8 million primarily as a result of the expansion of our retail stores and our enhanced warehouse and distribution facilities. In addition, depreciation and amortization expenses attributable to owned assets increased by CHF 7.0 million, primarily driven by production equipment.

Three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025
Financial income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 2.7 million to CHF 10.8 million when compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. Financial income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 6.1 million to CHF 29.0 million when compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increases in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 were primarily driven by an increase in the underlying amount of fixed deposits.
Financial expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 0.2 million to CHF 8.4 million, compared to CHF 8.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. Financial expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 2.9 million to CHF 24.6 million, compared to CHF 21.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increases in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 were primarily driven by higher interest expenses on lease contracts, resulting from new leases outstanding throughout the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025.
The change in foreign exchange result was primarily due to significant foreign exchange losses incurred during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, driven by fluctuations in the CHF/USD exchange rate. The changes
in foreign exchange gains / losses recorded in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 was primarily due to the functional currency changes that occurred on January 1, 2026, and the appreciation of the USD against the CHF as of September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025. Refer to the section titled "Factors Affecting Performance and Trend Information," and to our Annual Report, available at www.sec.gov, for additional information on the aforementioned functional currency changes.

| Effective income tax rate | | 23.1 | % | | (0.2) | % | | | | | | 18.2 | % | | 0.4 | % | | | | |
Income tax expense, based on an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026, was CHF 48.9 million and CHF 82.4 million, respectively. This compares to income tax (expense) / benefit of CHF 0.3 million and CHF (0.6) million for the corresponding periods in 2025. The effective income tax rate was 23.1% and 18.2% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to (0.2)% and 0.4% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 respectively.
The effective income tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 was more closely aligned with our expected range. The period-over-period changes to the effective income tax rate were primarily attributable to the low effective income tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025. The effective income tax rate in the prior-year comparative periods was driven by the high effectiveness of certain tax incentives, prior-year adjustments, and the elimination of intercompany profits in inventory.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, lease obligations, other material cash requirements, general corporate expenditures, and the Share Repurchase Program. We finance our liquidity needs using a combination of cash and cash equivalents balances and cash provided from operating activities.

Operating activities
Cash inflow from operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 166.9 million to CHF 413.3 million compared to CHF 246.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. This increase was mainly driven by higher net income after non-cash adjustments of CHF 160.4 million, driven primarily by the higher net income in the period, in part due to a higher gross margin, which was favorably impacted by the U.S. tariff refunds received and recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026. Refer to the section titled "Factors Affecting Performance and Trend Information" for additional information.
Investing activities
Cash outflow from investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 34.6 million to CHF 84.6 million, compared to CHF 50.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase is driven by higher purchases of property, plant and equipment during the current year period, primarily related to leasehold improvements within our retail stores.
Financing activities
Cash outflow from financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 increased by CHF 17.2 million to CHF 75.5 million, compared to CHF 58.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by higher repayments of lease liabilities of CHF 10.0 million resulting from new retail stores, warehouses, and offices.
Net Working Capital
Net working capital is a financial measure that is not defined under IFRS. We use and believe that certain investors and analysts use this information to assess liquidity and management use of net working capital resources. We define net working capital as trade receivables, plus inventories, minus trade payables. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS.
Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Share-based compensation
As of September 30, 2026, On has recognized an increase in shareholders' equity in the balance sheet of CHF 50.4 million for share-based compensation incurred during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2026.
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2026, we have recognized a share-based compensation expense of CHF 50.6 million pursuant to the following share-based compensation plans and programs for select employees including our group executive team and senior management team:
• Long Term Incentive Plan 2021
• Compensation of non-executive members of our board of directors
Share-based payments are valued based on the grant date fair value of these awards and recorded over the corresponding vesting period.
Indebtedness
On July 7, 2023, we entered into a CHF 700 million multicurrency credit facility agreement ("credit facility"). We have an option to increase the total availability of borrowings under the credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to CHF 200 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions. We entered into the credit facility as part of our prudent financial planning strategy to create future financial flexibility to better align with the size and maturity of the Company. The proceeds of any borrowings under the credit facility may be used towards the financing of working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes, including the roll-in of certain existing bank guarantees and the issuance of new bank guarantees. The credit facility had an initial term of three years, which has subsequently been extended for a total period of two years. Subsequent to extensions, the credit facility will expire on July 7, 2028.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no amounts had been drawn under the credit facility, and we do not currently expect to do so in the near term. As of September 30, 2026, we are using the credit facility to provide guarantees and letters of credit, as further discussed in the section titled "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements."
The credit facility also contains financial covenants that depend on our consolidated equity as well as our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. As of and during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.
Further, as of September 30, 2026, trade receivables and inventories with a carrying value of CHF 341.2 million and CHF 316.9 million, respectively, were pledged in relation to the credit facility.
Share Buyback
In September 2026, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an aggregate of USD 1 billion of our Class A Ordinary Shares through the end of December 2029 (CHF 834.7 million at the closing USD/CHF spot rate as of September 30, 2026) (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program is supported by our strong balance sheet and cash-generative business and forms part of our disciplined capital allocation strategy. We did not repurchase any shares under the Share Repurchase Program during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026.
Material Cash Requirements
As of September 30, 2026, there were no material changes to the material cash requirements reported in our Annual Report, with the exception of the items discussed below.
Lease commitments: As of September 30, 2026, total lease commitments are CHF 249.3 million, with CHF 6.1 million, CHF 81.1 million, and CHF 162.1 million, due in less than one year, between one to five years, and more than five years, respectively. The increase as of September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 relates to a new planned office in New York and our planned global retail expansion, partially offset by the commencement of the automated warehouse in Belgium.
Lease liabilities: As of September 30, 2026, total undiscounted lease liabilities are CHF 877.6 million, with CHF 135.4 million, CHF 425.8 million, and CHF 316.4 million due in less than one year, between one to five years, and more than five years, respectively. The total increase as of September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025, relates primarily to the Belgium warehouses, and to various new retail store leases across all regions.
Endorsement contracts: As of September 30, 2026, total cash commitments on endorsement contracts, including other marketing commitments, are CHF 273.3 million, with CHF 65.6 million, CHF 133.6 million, and CHF 74.1 million due in less than one year, between one to five years, and more than five years, respectively. The increase as of September 30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 relates to new endorsement contracts. The total does not include future sales-based royalties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we provided guarantees and letters of credit in the amount of CHF 188.3 million and CHF 153.2 million in favor of third parties, respectively. Of the total guarantees and letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CHF 168.2 million and CHF 153.2 million, respectively, relate to our credit facility, as discussed in the section titled "Indebtedness." Other than those items disclosed here and elsewhere in this document, we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments as of September 30, 2026.
Factors Affecting Performance and Trend Information
We expect our growth, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations will continue to be affected by a number of factors and trends. Refer to “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" within our Annual Report for further information on these factors. Below, we have included recent updates.
Customs and duty expenses
Beginning in April 2025, the United States ("U.S") implemented new tariffs as part of its trade policy, including both baseline tariffs and higher country-specific reciprocal tariffs on imports from all countries. Additionally, on July 31, 2025, an executive order ("Executive Order") was signed confirming the tariff rates on various trading partner countries, including a fixed reciprocal import tariff of 20% on Vietnam (applied in addition to the existing 20% import tariff in Vietnam). The confirmed tariff rates under the Executive Order became effective in August, 2025. In July 2026, the U.S. government imposed additional tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 that are expected to result in an increase in tariffs on our products.
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated specific tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), and the U.S government ceased collecting these tariffs on February 24, 2026. On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) introduced an electronic system to manage refunds for these IEEPA tariffs.
As of September 30, 2026, our total IEEPA tariffs paid are approximately CHF 57.4 million. Of this amount, approximately CHF 52.6 million have been submitted through the U.S. Customs refund processing and received during the nine-months ended September 30, 2026. These amounts relate to inventories already sold. As such, we recognized these amounts as a reduction to cost of sales within our consolidated financial statements during the nine-months ended September 30, 2026, consistent with our previous disclosures.
Subsequent to September 30, 2026, we submitted further claims for IEEPA tariff refunds of approximately CHF 4.5 million, all of which had been accepted by the CBP prior to November 10, 2026. We determined that recovery of these amounts was not virtually certain as of September 30, 2026, and therefore have not recognized them in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. We will recognize these refunds when their realization is deemed virtually certain, as a reduction to cost of sales, as they are attributable to inventories already sold.
We will continue to monitor changes to the import and export policies of the U.S. and other countries, including the imposition of additional tariffs, that could impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Macroeconomic conditions
Global events, including the recent military conflict in the Middle East, have resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, and we cannot predict how these conflicts will evolve or the timing and effects thereof. Continued instability could adversely affect consumer demand and our sales and growth in those markets. In addition, the conflict could further disrupt regional trade routes. We will continue to monitor the situation and the potential impact it may have on consumer patterns and sentiment in the Middle East and other regions.
We are subject to risks and exposures from the evolving global macroeconomic environment, including the level of promotional activity in the market and economic uncertainty, all of which may negatively impact customer demand, consumer spending, our ability to manage inventory, and our sales and growth. In the second and third quarters of 2026, growth in our wholesale channel was more moderate given selective sell-in actions with partners, particularly in the Americas, as we continue to operate in a highly promotional market / industry. These actions are a result of our commitment to our premium strategy and disciplined execution, including selective actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2026 and the potential for further action to manage sell-in for the remainder of the year.
Functional Currency Change
Effective January 1, 2026, On Holding AG (the Group's parent company) and On AG (the Group's main trading entity) have changed their functional currency from the Swiss Franc (CHF) to the U.S Dollar (USD). These changes were accounted for prospectively and did not impact prior period financial statements. The Group’s presentation currency remains in CHF.
As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the effect of exchange rate changes on USD-denominated monetary assets and liabilities was reduced, resulting in reduced volatility within line item foreign exchange gains / (losses) in our consolidated profit or loss statements. We expect this lower volatility, as a result of the reduced effect of exchange rate changes on USD-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, to continue throughout 2026 and into future periods.
Additionally, beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we are recording adjustments in other comprehensive income / (loss) to translate these entities' financial statements from USD to CHF (our presentation currency), which led to increased volatility within other comprehensive income / (loss) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. We
expect the increased volatility arising from the translation of these entities' financial statements from USD to CHF to continue throughout 2026 and into future periods.
Refer to note "6.6 Events after the balance sheet date" and "Item 5.B Liquidity and capital resources" within our Annual Report, available at www.sec.gov., for additional information on the aforementioned functional currency change.
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 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 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, and adjusted diluted EPS to their most directly comparable IFRS measure. See sections titled "Liquidity and Capital Resource" and "Operating Results" for reconciliations of net working capital and net sales on a constant currency basis, respectively, to their most directly comparable IFRS measure.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
The table below reconciles net income and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA margin is equal to adjusted EBITDA for the period presented as a percentage of net sales for the same period.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS
We use adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS as measures of operating performance in conjunction with related IFRS measures.
For the purpose of operational performance measurement, we calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS in a manner that fully excludes the impact of any costs related to share-based compensation and includes the tax effect on the tax-deductible portion of the non-IFRS adjustments, which we believe increases comparability of the metric from period to period, and makes it useful for management, our audit committee and investors to assess our financial performance over time.
Adjusted basic EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period on a fully diluted basis.
The table below provides a reconciliation between net income and adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS for the periods presented:

Net Sales on a Constant Currency Basis
Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-IFRS measure which 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 "Key Financial and Operating Metrics" and "Operating Results" sections, to enhance the visibility of the underlying growth rate of net sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
