PR Newswire

BALTIMORE, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA, UAA) announced unaudited financial results for its third quarter fiscal 2024, which ended December 31, 2023. The company reports its financial performance following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). This press release refers to "currency neutral" and "adjusted" amounts, which are non-GAAP financial measures described below under the "Non-GAAP Financial Information" paragraph.

"Despite a mixed retail environment during the holiday season, our third quarter revenue results were in line with our expectations; we were able to deliver better than anticipated profitability and remain on track to achieve our full-year outlook," said Under Armour President and CEO Stephanie Linnartz. "As we close out fiscal 2024 and our strengthened leadership team begins to come up to speed in the quarters ahead – we are working to reset Under Armour toward a path of improved revenue growth and enhanced value creation in the future."

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Review

  • Revenue was down 6 percent to $1.5 billion (down 7 percent currency neutral).
    • Wholesale revenue decreased 13 percent to $712 million, and direct-to-consumer revenue increased 4 percent to $741 million due to a 5 percent increase in owned and operated store revenue and a 2 percent increase in eCommerce revenue, which represented 45 percent of the total direct-to-consumer business in the quarter.
    • North America revenue decreased 12 percent to $915 million, and international revenue increased 7 percent to $566 million (up 4 percent currency neutral). In the international business, revenue increased 7 percent in EMEA (up 2 percent currency neutral), 7 percent in Asia-Pacific (up 8 percent currency neutral), and 9 percent in Latin America (up 3 percent currency neutral).
    • Apparel revenue decreased 6 percent to $1 billion. Footwear revenue was down 7 percent to $331 million. Accessories revenue was flat at $105 million.
  • Gross margin increased 100 basis points to 45.2 percent, driven primarily by supply chain benefits related to lower freight expenses, partially offset by proactive inventory management actions, including a higher percentage of sales to the off-price channel and increased promotional activities in our direct-to-consumer business.
  • Selling, general & administrative expenses were flat year over year at $602 million, including a $23 million litigation reserve expense. Adjusted selling, general & administrative expenses were down 4 percent to $579 million.
  • Operating income was $70 million. Adjusted operating income was $92 million.
  • Net Income was $114 million. Excluding a $50 million earn-out benefit in connection with the sale of the MyFitnessPal platform, the litigation reserve expense, and related tax impacts, the adjusted net income was $84 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.26. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.19.
  • Inventory was down 9 percent to $1.1 billion.
  • Cash and Cash Equivalents were $1 billion at the end of the quarter, and no borrowings were outstanding under the company's $1.1 billion revolving credit facility.

Share Buyback Update

Under Armour repurchased $25 million of its Class C common stock during the third quarter, reflecting 3.1 million shares retired. As of December 31, 2023, 45.6 million shares for $500 million had been repurchased, which concluded the company's two-year program, approved by the Board of Directors in February 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release refers to "currency neutral" and "adjusted" results, as well as "adjusted" forward-looking estimates of the company's results for its 2024 fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. Management believes this information is helpful to investors to compare the company's results of operations period-over-period because it enhances visibility into its actual underlying results, excluding these impacts. Currency-neutral financial information is calculated to exclude changes in foreign currency exchange rates. References to adjusted financial measures exclude the effect of the company's litigation reserve expense and any gain or loss from divestitures (including associated earn-outs and expenses) and related tax effects. Management believes these adjustments are not core to the company's operations. The reconciliation of non-GAAP amounts to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated according to GAAP is presented in supplemental financial information furnished with this release. All per-share amounts are reported on a diluted basis. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation. They should be contemplated in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the company's reported results prepared per GAAP. Additionally, the company's non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
