South Korea’s Misto Holdings posts solid Q3 with revenue up 3.7% YoY
The Misto segment generated 181 billion won in revenue, supported by Fila’s continued brand repositioning in Korea and the successful launch of the new Echappe series, which resonated strongly with Millennial and Gen Z consumers. Fila’s new brand experience centre in Biella, Italy, further enhanced global visibility. Restructuring measures in North America also helped reduce losses and strengthened overall profitability, Misto Holdings said in a press release.
Misto Holdings has reported revenue of 1,088 billion won (~$747 million) in Q3 2025, up 3.7 per cent YoY with operating profit rising 41 per cent to 132 billion won.
Fila’s repositioning and Acushnet’s 7.5 per cent revenue rise supported performance.
A 940-won dividend lifted shareholder returns to 220 billion won (~$151 million), achieving 44 per cent of the firm’s three-year target.
Acushnet delivered another robust quarter, with revenue rising 7.5 per cent YoY to 908 billion won. Misto Holdings’ board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of 940 won per share—its fourth consecutive special dividend—totalling around 50.4 billion won. This represents a 177 per cent year-on-year increase and reflects strong subsidiary performance and special dividends received from Full Prospect, its China joint venture.
The company has now achieved 44 per cent of its three-year shareholder-return target of up to 500 billion won for 2025-2027. Total returns so far amount to approximately 220 billion won (~$151 million), supported by 150 billion won in share buybacks earlier in the year and an additional 20 billion won in September.
“Despite a challenging external environment, Misto Holdings maintained stable performance in the third quarter, supported by disciplined operations and solid brand fundamentals. The fourth consecutive special dividend demonstrates our ongoing commitment to transparent, shareholder-friendly management and long-term value creation,” said Ho Yeon (Aaron) Lee, chief financial officer of Misto Holdings.
