PRESS RELEASE

Under Armour Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results; Provides Outlook For 2020
10.30.2020

BALTIMORE, Oct. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA, UAA) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. The company reports its financial performance in accordance with 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. References to adjusted financial measures exclude the impact of the company's 2020 restructuring plan and related impairment charges, impairments associated with certain long-lived assets and goodwill and related tax effects, and with respect to certain measures, the non-cash amortization of debt discount on the company's convertible debt, deal-costs related to the pending sale of MyFitnessPal and related tax effects. 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.

"Our third-quarter results reflect considerably better than expected performance due to higher demand and our strong execution, especially in North America," said Under Armour President and CEO Patrik Frisk. "We believe that the critical mass of our transformational challenges is behind us, and we remain sharply focused on operational improvements and financial discipline to accelerate strategies to create sustainable, long-term growth for the Under Armour brand and our shareholders."

Third Quarter 2020 Review

  • Revenue was flat at $1.4 billion compared to the prior year.
    • Wholesale revenue decreased 7 percent to $830 million and direct-to-consumer revenue increased 17 percent to $540 million, driven by continued strong growth in eCommerce.
    • North America revenue decreased 5 percent to $963 million and international revenue increased 18 percent to $433 million (up 17 percent currency neutral). Within the international business, revenue increased 31 percent in EMEA (up 26 percent currency neutral), increased 15 percent in Asia-Pacific (up 16 percent currency neutral), and decreased 15 percent in Latin America (down 7 percent currency neutral).
    • Apparel revenue decreased 6 percent to $927 million. Footwear revenue increased 19 percent to $299 million. Accessories revenue increased 23 percent to $145 million.
  • Gross margin decreased 40 basis points to 47.9 percent compared to the prior year, driven primarily by negative impacts from COVID-19 related discounting and product mix partially offset by supply chain efficiencies and channel mix.
  • Selling, general & administrative expense was relatively unchanged from the prior year at $554 million.
  • Restructuring and impairment charges were $74 million consisting of $70 million of restructuring and related impairment charges and $4 million from long-lived asset impairments. Through the third quarter, the company has recognized $550 million of restructuring and impairment charges consisting of $410 million in restructuring and related impairment charges ($326 million in non-cash and $84 million in cash) and $140 million from impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill.
  • Operating income was $59 million. Excluding the impact of restructuring and impairment charges, adjusted operating income was $133 million.
  • Net income was $39 million. Adjusted net income was $118 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.09. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.26.
  • Inventory was up 17 percent to $1.1 billion.
  • Cash and Liquidity
    • The company ended the third quarter with Cash and Cash Equivalents of $866 million.
    • No borrowings were outstanding under the company's $1.1 billion revolving credit facility at the end of the third quarter.

Fiscal 2020 Outlook

Due to ongoing uncertainty related to COVID-19 and its potential effect on global markets, the company expects material impacts on its business results for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. Key points related to Under Armour's full-year 2020 outlook include:

  • Revenue is expected to be down at a high-teen percentage rate compared to 2019 results, reflecting a low twenties percentage rate decline in North America and a high-single-digit percentage rate decline within the international business. For the fourth quarter, the company now expects revenue to be down at a low-teen percentage rate, versus the previous down 20 to 25 percent expectation, impacted by the following factors:
    •  Expected year-end timing impacts from COVID-19, related to customer order flow and changes in supply chain timing resulting in more planned spring product deliveries in early 2021 versus late 2020.
    • An anticipated substantial decline in licensing revenue due to lower contractual royalty minimums and contract settlements realized in the prior year.
    • Lower planned excess inventory sales to the off-price channel.
  • Gross margin is expected to be up 20 to 40 basis points versus 2019 due to channel mix benefits and supply chain efficiencies, offset mainly by discounting related to COVID-19. For the fourth quarter, the company anticipates meaningful gross margin pressure primarily related to expectations around a more promotional environment relative to the prior year.
  • Operating loss is expected to reach approximately $800 million to $860 million. Excluding the impact of restructuring and impairment charges, adjusted operating loss is expected to reach approximately $140 million to $150 million.
  • Adjusted interest and other expense net is planned at approximately $55 million.
  • Adjusted diluted loss per share is expected to be in the range of $0.47 to $0.49.
  • Inventory is expected to be up approximately 10 percent at the end of 2020.
  • Capital expenditures are planned at approximately $80 million compared to $144 million in 2019.

COVID-19 Update

Under Armour continues to monitor COVID-19 globally, complying with guidance from government entities and public health authorities. The company remains focused on protecting our teammates and consumers' health and safety while working with our suppliers and customers to minimize potential disruptions. The vast majority of locations where Under Armour is sold are now open. In the company's owned and operated retail stores, traffic trends remain challenged; however, conversion trends remain strong. Additionally, the company experienced significant eCommerce growth around the world during the quarter. The fourth quarter and full-year outlook provided today assume the vast majority of retail locations where Under Armour is sold will continue to remain open and operate under similar health and safety requirements for the remainder of the year.

MyFitnessPal Platform Sale Announcement

In a separate press release today, the company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the MyFitnessPal platform to Francisco Partners, a private equity firm. The transaction value is $345 million, inclusive of the achievement of potential earn-out payments and subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020, is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The fourth quarter and full-year outlook provided today do not include the impact of the potential sale of MyFitnessPal.

MyFitnessPal is currently reported within Under Armour's Connected Fitness segment, which also contains the MapMyFitness and Endomondo platforms. In conjunction with this announcement, the company indicated that it would discontinue its Endomondo platform at the end of 2020. The MapMyFitness platform, which includes MapMyRun and MapMyRide, remains a crucial element of Under Armour's digital strategy, as does its connected footwear business.

Conference Call and Webcast

Under Armour will hold its third quarter 2020 conference call and webcast today at approximately 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The call will be webcast live at https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/financials and will be archived and available for replay about three hours after the live event.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release refers to "currency neutral" and "adjusted" amounts. Currency neutral financial information is calculated to exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes this information is useful to investors to compare the company's results of operations period-over-period. Adjusted financial measures exclude the impact of the company's 2020 restructuring plan and related impairment charges, impairments associated with certain long-lived assets and goodwill, and related tax effects. Management believes this information is useful to investors because it enhances visibility into its actual underlying results, excluding these impacts. Adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share also exclude the non-cash amortization of debt discount on the company's convertible senior notes, deal-costs related to the pending sale of MyFitnessPal and related tax effects. Management believes the non-cash portion of the interest expense, which represents the accretion of the bifurcated equity component of the convertible senior notes' conversion option, is not core to the company's operations given the intent and ability to settle in shares of the company's Class C common stock. Similarly, deal costs are not core to the company's operation given dispositions are infrequent and non-recurring in nature. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and should be contemplated in addition to, and not as an alternative for, 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.
