F&F reported weaker third-quarter 2026 results on Tuesday, November 10, as shipment controls in China weighed on its fashion business. Operating profit fell 15.3% year over year to 108.4 billion Korean won, while revenue declined 4.7% to 452.1 billion Korean won, according to The Chosun Daily.

China controls pressure earnings

Net profit dropped 34.6% to 65.9 billion Korean won in the July-to-September period. The company said it adjusted local supply volumes to improve inventory health in China, which reduced shipments during the quarter.

The pressure was partly offset by stable MLB consumer sales in China, higher revenue at the Hong Kong subsidiary, stronger exports to Southeast Asia and increased domestic MLB sales. For the first nine months, revenue rose 4.0% to 1.4126 trillion Korean won, while operating profit increased 3.8% to 348.4 billion Korean won.

Management points to fourth quarter

F&F said shipment adjustments were entering their final stage. Management expects normalized China supply and a pickup in winter outerwear sales to improve the fourth-quarter trend. That outlook leaves inventory execution and seasonal demand as central factors for investors assessing the earnings recovery.

F&F's business and market position

F&F develops and sells fashion products through brands including MLB and serves consumers in South Korea, China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Its business is more regionally focused and brand-led than the global portfolios of Nike and Adidas, while Anta represents a larger China-centered sportswear competitor. F&F's current opportunity is to convert stable consumer demand into stronger shipments without rebuilding excess inventory.
