Rossignol Group (Group), the parent of the Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange, and Look brands, is confirming the continued transformation of its business model following a season marked by strong financial performance and global athletic success, despite the weak season in the Western U.S. market.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, the Group reported revenue of €346 million, or €358 million at constant exchange rates, representing 4.3 percent growth year-over-year (y/y) on a like-for-like basis.

“This momentum reflects both favorable conditions in the winter sports market and the Group’s long-term strategy centered on year-round mountain engagement,” the company said in an earnings release. “Strong snow conditions across Europe, increasing participation, and sustained global interest in mountain destinations contributed to growth, while operating profitability (EBITDAR) rose more than 50 percent year-over-year.”

The brand also highlighted the 50 Olympic medals won by athletes equipped with its brands.

“The 2025–2026 season marks an important milestone, shaped by our athletes’ Olympic performances and a return to growth,” said Vincent Wauters, CEO, Rossignol Group. “We are confirming our strategy, rooted in year-round performance and environmental commitment, which strengthens the resilience of our model in an uncertain economic environment. More than ever, the mountains stand out as both an attractive destination and a space for physical and mental well-being, and Rossignol is ideally positioned to respond to this long-term shift.”

The company said Winter Sports Equipment remains a cornerstone of the business, delivering 6.5 percent y/y growth at constant exchange rates.

Apparel and Footwear continue to drive diversification, according to the release, now accounting for 25 percent of brand sales, with a target of reaching €100 million in revenue within three years. This expansion was said to be further supported by the Group’s Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) network, including e-commerce and more than 40 retail stores worldwide. 

A key pillar of Rossignol’s diversification strategy was said to be the rapid rise of trail running and year-round offerings. Following the successful 2025 launch of its first trail running shoes, Vezor and Venosk — highlighted by Marine Quintard’s victory at the MCC during the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc — the category reportedly continues to accelerate. 

In fiscal 2026, trail footwear sales increased by 63 percent, driven in part by the launch of the new Vercors long-distance trail shoe.

With nearly 600 employees in France — close to half of its global workforce — the Group maintains strong territorial roots. Its headquarters in Isère serves as a hub for R&D, high-end ski manufacturing, and global logistics, complemented by production sites across Europe and the United States.

The Group reported it is also expanding into the high-growth hiking segment with Altiridge, a new range of technical footwear and apparel. Together, these initiatives support growing summer mountain visitation, with Spring-Summer collections expected to reach 15 percent of Softgoods revenue within three years.
