Hugo Boss AGs (ETR:BOSS) solide Ergebnisankündigung hat nicht viel zum Aktienkurs beigetragen. Wir haben recherchiert und glauben, dass Investoren einige ermutigende Faktoren in den zugrunde liegenden Zahlen übersehen. Die Accrual-Ratio von -0.22 deutet auf eine gute Cash-Conversion hin und die Free-Cash-Flow-Menge von €594m im letzten Jahr ist höher als der bereitgestellte Gewinn von €231,5m. |

Puma names new CFO; touts turnaround progress |

Dive Brief:
Former Hugo Boss CEO Mark Langer will join retailer Puma as its CFO and a member of its management board effective May 1, the company announced in a Thursday press release. Langer will succeed Markus Neubrand as finance chief, who stepped down from his role effective Thursday and will officially depart the shoe and apparel company Sept. 30, according to the press release. Also on Thursday, the Germany-based business reported what CEO and Chairman Arthur Hoeld called a “solid start” to a transition year in its first quarter for 2026. “We’ve made significant progress this year already in our operating model, which is necessary to build the foundation for our future growth here at PUMA,” Hoeld said Thursday during the company’s earnings call. “Despite the macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, we do remain confident on our track to achieve our plans for this year and beyond.”
Dive Insight:
Neubrand was “instrumental in terms of developing the reset program with us and also getting the company now into a transition mode for the years to come,” Hoeld said Thursday.
Hoeld, who joined the company last July, offered the departing finance chief thanks “for the support I got personally from him during my onboarding phase at PUMA, and also for guiding not just the financial team, but the organization through what was not the easiest of times for our company.”
Neubrand is leaving the business nearly two years after taking the CFO seat for the sportswear retailer in October 2024, according to his LinkedIn profile. A fellow Hugo Boss veteran, Neubrand served in various roles during a 17-year tenure at the menswear company including as its chief operating officer and CFO, Americas for six years starting July 2014.
His tenure overlapped with that of Langer, who also spent 17 years at Hugo Boss. Langer’s experience included a seven-year tenure as its CFO and four years as its CEO and board chairman, according to his LinkedIn profile. Most recently, he served as CFO for the Douglas Group, a German cosmetics and perfume company.
The athleticwear company will lean on Langer’s financial chops as it continues to move forward with the turnaround plan Puma moved to put in place last year. As well as changes to its leadership team — bringing in Hoeld, an Adidas veteran, as CEO and appointing a new chief commercial officer — the company last year also implemented cost saving initiatives and cut approximately 500 corporate jobs globally, according to company releases.
Story Continues
Reporting its full-year 2025 results in February, Puma designated its coming 2026 as a transition year and outlined its strategic priorities with the aim of rightsizing its inventory, bolstering growth and regaining investor confidence.
Puma is continuing to target cost efficiencies, including layoffs — identifying an additional 900 positions it is looking to reduce by the end of 2025, Hoeld said during the earnings call. Of those, 450 employees have already left the company as of the end of its first quarter.
For its Q1, though logging a minor sales dip, Puma reported adjusted-EBIT of 51.9 million euros ($60 million) for its first quarter, a jump of 19.6% year-over-year, according to its earnings report. Its gross profit margin, meanwhile, increased by 60 basis points to 47.7%, and the company also reported lower operating expenses.
Neubrand attributed the 1% YoY sales decrease for the quarter largely to Puma’s reset efforts, which includes lower promotions for both its stores and e-commerce website, he said Thursday. Meanwhile, Puma’s continued efforts to rightsize inventory levels was one of the significant drivers in improving the company’s profit margin, he said.
Though touting the positive momentum for its turnaround efforts, Neubrand also pointed to continued “geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties” the business is taking into account as it issues guidance for the remainder of the year. The Iran war and U.S. tariffs are expected to have a negative impact on sales and margin as well as consumer sentiment, he said in response to an analyst question.
“There are still a lot of moving parts for the [remainder] of the year, including, of course, the top line development as just outlined, but as well also the level of one-time costs, as we will make sure to set the right foundation in 2026 to return to growth in 2027,” he said.

Kingpins Amsterdam feels effect of fashion firms’ conservative spending |

**Haftungsausschluss: Der Text wurde mit Hilfe einer KI zusammengefasst und übersetzt. Für Aussagen aus dem Originaltext wird keine Haftung übernommen!**
Kingpins Amsterdam 2026, held on 15 and 16 April 2026, brought together a range of denim industry professionals, including representatives from brands such as Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger, Gap, Urban Outfitters, Hugo Boss, Jack & Jones, and others.
Despite the decline in footfall, the number of companies present remained consistent with previous editions, Kingpins said.
Attendees explored new technologies, sustainable initiatives, and ongoing developments in denim production.
Kingpins CEO Vivian Wang said: “Retailers and brands are being strategic with travel budgets. Our highly curated exhibitor roster packs an extraordinary level of inspiration, innovation and meaningful connections into just two days.”
This year’s show hosted 100 exhibitors and featured expanded areas such as the Jeanius Hub, which supports startups and emerging businesses.
The Made in Japan section, centred on Japanese denim producers’ quality and craftsmanship, also returned to the show floor.
Kingpins Amsterdam 2026 also presented the newest entry in its Most Sustainable Product initiative, featuring recent sustainability-focused developments from exhibitors.
The collection, designed by Piero Turk and Serena Conti and titled “This Rebel Artist,” references 20th-century artists associated with rebellious themes. It was manufactured and finished by Asutex, using fabrics from Foison Textiles, HW Textile, Naveena Denim Mills, Neela by Sapphire, Prosperity Textile, Sharabati, US Group, and Vicunha. Labels were provided by Turtex Etiquette, and buttons, zippers, and rivets came from YKK.
Another initiative, “From ESSENTIALS to SPECIALS,” demonstrated water-saving technologies through collaboration between Denim House and Jeanologia.
The display focused on digital printing and laser applications to promote responsible production without reducing creative design options.
Wang said: “We’ve been in active conversation with designers, retailers, and brands — listening closely to learn how we can sharpen the experience for everyone who walks through our doors. The goal is straightforward: smoother navigation, smarter scheduling with the right partners, and enough breathing room to let the unexpected happen. I hope everyone who visits Kingpins will go home with something real: a fresh perspective, a connection that matters, a technology worth a second look, or an idea that quietly shapes what comes next.”
The event also included a tribute to Adriano Goldschmied, attended by his family, who met with friends and colleagues from across his career.
Story Continues
“Adriano always believed that everything we create should have a purpose and meaning. This was not just how he worked, but how he lived his life. So many people in the denim community reached out to share what he meant to them, and the mark he left over his career,” Wang added.
