Summary

  • Rapala's updated strategy focuses on being brand-driven, with dedicated expert teams for each brand, emphasizing growth in their flagship Rapala brand.
  • In H2'25, Rapala experienced strong winter fishing sales in North America, while European markets were softer, prompting early product introductions in Europe to stimulate sales.
  • Rapala anticipates revenue growth in North America and aims to improve profitability through cost reductions in Europe, including warehouse consolidation and efficiency projects.
  • The company is focused on inventory management and cautious investment, aiming to improve working capital and maintain compliance with refinancing covenants.

Rapala's H2 revenue grew by 2%, but currency rate changes during the review period created a clear headwind for growth, as currency-adjusted revenue grew by 6%. Geopolitical tensions and US tariff policy are currently increasing uncertainty regarding the development of the company's demand environment. Rapala's CEO Cyrille Viellard tells more in an interview with analyst Thomas Westerholm.
