Fila parent Misto Holdings increases sales and profits

The South Korean clothing group Misto Holdings – formerly Fila Holdings – achieved an increase in profits in the first quarter of 2026.

The Fila parent company achieved an increase in consolidated sales of 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2026. This increased to 1.30 trillion South Korean won (745.5 million euros) in the first three months of the financial year, as Misto Holdings announced on Monday. Operating profit increased by 19 percent to 193.7 billion South Korean won.

The Seoul-based company attributed the results to continued growth in the Acushnet business as well as improved profitability in the Misto segment. This progress was achieved despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, including a weakening global economy and subdued consumer sentiment. Restructuring effects in the US business and strategies for portfolio optimization contributed positively to improving profitability.

Fila continued to strengthen its lifestyle footwear category around the Echappe franchise and expanded customer loyalty through the new Glio line. Glio, which embraces current fashion trends such as flat silhouettes and balletcore aesthetics, received positive market response shortly after launch. In the clothing sector, Fila increased its competitiveness through the Knit Track line. This recorded sales growth of around 74 percent in the first twelve weeks of the spring/summer 2026 season compared to the same period of the previous fall/winter 2025/2026 season, thereby establishing itself as a new signature piece in the clothing category.

“Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, we have maintained stable growth momentum based on strengthened brand competitiveness and improved operational efficiency,” said Ho Yeon Lee, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Misto Holdings. “We will further consolidate our sustainable growth base – through expansion in Greater China, expanding our brand portfolio and management focused on profitability.”
