Exhibit 99.3

On Reports Results for the Second Quarter and Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2022
On had a very strong first half of 2022, with second quarter 2022 results again exceeding expectations to surpass CHF 500 million net sales for the half year. Q2 2022 net sales increased by 66.6%, driven by a strong wholesale growth of 70.1% and DTC growth of 60.8%, as well as continued exceptional momentum and demand in On's North America region, growing at 102.5%.
On records Q2 2022 net sales of CHF 291.7 million, net income of CHF 49.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of CHF 31.4 million despite the continued challenging supply chain environment as well as geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.
On delivers a second quarter 2022 gross profit margin of 55.1%, down from 60.7% in the prior year period and up from 51.8% in the first quarter 2022, reflecting continued, yet reduced transitory headwinds from higher airfreight share and corresponding expenses.
On is closely observing macroeconomic developments and potential consumer demand impacts of the current environment. However, on the back of the very successful first half of the year and continued strong demand for On's products, On is raising its previous guidance and now expects net sales of at least CHF 1.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA of CHF 145 million for the full year 2022. Guidance for the full year adjusted EBITDA margin remains unchanged at 13.2%.
On continues to focus on delivering innovation that will drive performance for the world's best athletes. The second quarter not only saw On's first Diamond League victory, but also On's first Commonwealth Games and World Championship medals. In addition, On is taking big strides on its sustainability mission, having delivered the first fully recyclable subscription-based running shoe to early subscribers of On's Cyclon program.

ZURICH, Switzerland, August 16, 2022 - On Holding AG (NYSE: ONON) (“On,” “On Holding AG,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us”), has announced its financial results for the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Martin Hoffmann, Co-CEO and CFO of On, said: “We are very pleased and proud to report that we have reached our highest quarterly net sales in history in the second quarter of 2022 and with that, are observing a continued strong demand for On products across all regions. Our team has done an outstanding job to efficiently manage product flows in what we expect to be the near final stages of supply shortages stemming from last year's factory closures. Thanks to them, we have been able to welcome many new fans to the On community and equip them with our newest product launches. In June, for the first time in our history, single-month net sales exceeded 100 million Swiss Francs, bringing our total net sales for the first half of 2022 to over 500 million Swiss Francs. Based on the performance we have seen in the first half, we are once again increasing our outlook for net sales and adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022. As we continue on our mission to ignite the human spirit through movement, we are thinking long-term and our goal is to build a durable company at the intersection of performance, design and impact."

Caspar Coppetti, Co-Founder and Executive Co-Chairman of On, said: “On continues to make great strides and reach new milestones at the intersection of performance, design and impact. We are thrilled to see our commitment to developing high-performance products to unleash our athletes' full potential paying off. In the past few weeks On athletes have shown incredible performances, leading to not only our first Diamond League victory, but also our first Commonwealth Games and World Championship medals. This quarter also saw us reach significant milestones on our mission to drive sustainable and circular innovations. Just a few weeks ago, our very first community of Cyclon subscribers in the US received their first subscription-based and fully recyclable shoe called Cloudneo. This very special launch has been a further step towards our sustainability mission and we are looking forward to sharing many more innovations in the future."

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital are non-IFRS measures used by us to evaluate our performance. Furthermore, we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital enhance investors understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period because they exclude certain material items related to share-based compensation and other costs which are not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in



accordance with IFRS. For a detailed description and a reconciliation to the nearest IFRS measure, see the section below titled “Non-IFRS Measures”.

Outlook
Following a very successful first half of the year with net sales exceeding CHF 500 million, we continue to be confident in our ability to execute our growth strategy in the second half of 2022 despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and challenges.

We currently anticipate limited impacts from these macroeconomic uncertainties on the demand for our products. Nevertheless, we see it as our duty to remain prudent and alert in such an environment and have taken certain measures to grow our cost base somewhat more conservatively than initially planned.

The first half of 2022 had been further impacted by the transitory supply shortages as a result of factory closures in 2021. Thanks to the dedication and commitment of our factory partners, our inventory situation has in the meantime improved significantly. As such, the use of air freight is anticipated to be reduced in the second half of the year. We will selectively continue to use air freight to ensure availability of our more recently launched products, which did not have an initial inventory position. From this, we expect a limited headwind to our gross profit margin of 150-200 basis points in the third quarter of 2022.

Taking into consideration the current macroeconomic challenges as well as the very successful first half year of 2022, we are increasing our outlook for net sales and adjusted EBITDA. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, we now expect net sales to reach CHF 1.1 billion, representing a year-over-year growth of 52% compared to 2021. The higher anticipated net sales will allow additional, growth focused investments into the brand while increasing our adjusted EBITDA target for the full year to CHF 145 million, confirming our goal of an adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.2% even at the significantly elevated top line outlook. Other than with respect to IFRS net-sales, we only provide guidance on a non-IFRS basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. As a result, we are not able to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a reconciliation to net income.

The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current and preliminary estimates of market and operating conditions and customer demand, which are all subject to change. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including those stated below.

Non-IFRS Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS and net working capital are financial measures that are not defined under IFRS. We use these non-IFRS measures when evaluating our performance, including when making financial and operating decisions, and as a key component in the determination of variable incentive compensation for employees. Additionally, we believe these non-IFRS measures enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial and operating performance from period to period, because certain measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, exclude certain material items relating to share-based compensation and other costs which are not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance. In particular, we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and net working capital are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate companies in the sportswear industry.

However, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS, adjusted diluted EPS or net working capital should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. For more information on these non-IFRS measures, please see the section captioned "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" included in the accompanying financial tables, which includes more detail on the IFRS measure that is most directly comparable to each non-IFRS measure, and the related reconciliations between these measures.

As noted above, we do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected net income being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA. These statements represent forward-looking information and may represent a financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this news release.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS
We use adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS as measures of operating performance in conjunction with related IFRS measures.
Adjusted basic EPS is used in conjunction with other non-IFRS measures and excludes certain items (as listed below) from the calculation in order to increase comparability of the metric from period to period, which we believe makes it useful for management, our audit committee and investors to assess our financial performance over time.
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period on a fully diluted basis. For the purpose of operational performance measurement, we calculate adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS in a manner that fully excludes the impact of any costs related to share-based compensation and other costs which are not reflective of our ongoing operations and performance and includes the tax effect on the tax deductible portion of the non-IFRS adjustments.
The table below provides a reconciliation between net income / (loss) to adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS for the periods presented:

Net Working Capital
Net working capital is a financial measure that is not defined under IFRS. We use, and believe that certain investors and analysts, use this information to assess liquidity and management use of net working capital resources. We define net working capital as trade receivables, plus inventories, minus trade payables. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under IFRS.
Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
