Cold US winter gives a boost to Head

12/05/2014
Netherlands-headquartered sports brand Head has reported sales were up 1.6% in the first three months in of the year, despite declines in its racquet sports and diving equipment sales.

The increase was driven by its Winter Sports division, in which sales increased 9.8%, although it warned this should not be seen as indicative of the full year.

“While some southern parts of Europe and the US experienced good snowfall, the weather in central and northern Europe was unseasonably warm and will impact winter sports orders in 2014,” it said.

Head is organised into five divisions: Winter Sports, Racquet Sports, Diving, Sportswear and Licensing. Its sell products under Head (alpine skis, ski bindings, ski boots, snowboard and protection products, tennis, racquetball, paddle and squash racquets, tennis balls and tennis footwear, sportswear and swimming products), Penn (tennis balls and racquetball balls), Tyrolia (ski bindings) and Mares and SSI (diving) brands.
