Sporting goods retail group Intersport has reported sales of €12.3 billion for 2019, a record amount for the company and growth of 3.2% compared to the previous year.

By the end of 2019, Intersport had 5,421 sales outlets in 43 countries around the world.

It said that even “extremely warm autumn and winter weather” in many sales regions had failed to halt growth and that, in fact, its rate of growth in the fourth quarter of the year was even higher at 3.9%.

On announcing the results, Intersports chief executive, Steve Evers, who took up the role at the start of 2019, said: “We want to inspire and serve local sports enthusiasts, and connect consumers to the heart of sports.”
