Puma SE announced plans to cut 500 jobs globally, including 150 at its headquarters, as part of a cost-reduction program following disappointing sales forecasts for 2025. The company expects one-time costs of up to €75 million in 2025 and has set an adjusted EBIT target of €520 million to €600 million for the year, excluding these costs. Puma's Q4 2024 earnings showed sales of €2.29 billion and EBIT of €109 million, both meeting estimates.
