Fashionable Puma's roaring sales
Roaring sales of sportswear to the
fashion-conscious have lifted the
German sports goods maker Puma.
"The distinction between sport and
lifestyle is increasingly blurring,"
said chief executive Jochen Zeitz.
Pre-tax profits rose 10.5% to 83.5m
euros (£57.6m; $100m) in its second
quarter, from 75.6m euros at the same
time last year.
Puma said a 55.1% rise in sales in the
US contributed to total group sales of
395.5m euros.
