Fila parent Misto Holdings remains on course for growth in the third quarter

The South Korean sporting goods group Misto Holdings Corp. continued its growth course in the third quarter of the current 2025 financial year.

Sales rose by 3.7 percent to 1.088 trillion won (642 million euros) compared to the same period last year. Operating profit increased by 41 percent to 132 billion won (77.9 million euros). The group announced on Monday that this development was driven by a turnaround in the Misto segment and the continued momentum in the Acushnet golf division.

The Misto division achieved sales of 181 billion won. According to the company, the repositioning of the Fila brand continued. The new sneaker series “Echappe” was very well received by younger consumers. In addition, recent restructuring measures in North America ensured that the division’s loss was reduced.

Acushnet reported revenue of 908 billion won, up 7.5 percent year-on-year. According to a statement, the increase was due, among other things, to strong global demand for Titleist Pro V1 golf balls and the successful introduction of the new T-Series irons.

Due to the improvement in results, the company announced a quarterly dividend of 940 won per share. This is the fourth special distribution in a row and represents an increase of 177 percent compared to the previous year. This brings the total distributions to shareholders this year to 220 billion won. The group achieved 44 percent of its three-year capital distribution target of 500 billion won in the first year.

The Seoul-based company, formerly known as Fila Holdings, renamed itself Misto Holdings in April 2025. The name change is intended to better reflect the expanded strategic direction and the multi-brand structure. The portfolio includes internationally known brands such as Fila, Titleist, FootJoy, Scotty Cameron, Vokey Design and Kjus. This means that the group is active in both the lifestyle clothing sector and the premium golf segment.
