PRESS RELEASE

UNDER ARMOUR REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2023 RESULTS; UPDATES FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK
08.03.2022

BALTIMORE, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA, UAA) today announced unaudited financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2023 ended June 30, 2022. 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.

"We delivered our quarter, are holding our full-year revenue outlook, and remain bullish on our brand strength while we navigate the current environment," said Under Armour Interim President and CEO Colin Browne. "Our relentless approach of delivering groundbreaking innovation will continue to manifest through 2022 and beyond as we work to unleash the full potential of the Under Armour brand."

Browne continued, "Moving forward, we are digging in to amplify the strengths of our core strategy while creating additional opportunities for athletes to wear UA throughout their day. I have full confidence in the exceptional capabilities of our global team to deliver more pronounced growth and profitability over the long term."

First Quarter 2023 Review

  • Revenue was flat at $1.3 billion (up 2 percent currency neutral) compared to the prior year.
    • Wholesale revenue increased 3 percent to $792 million, and direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 7 percent to $521 million, driven by an 8 percent decline in owned and operated store revenue. eCommerce revenue declined 6 percent and represented 39 percent of the total direct-to-consumer business during the quarter.
    • North America revenue was flat (up 1 percent currency neutral) compared to the prior year at $909 million, and international revenue decreased 3 percent to $431 million (up 2 percent currency neutral). Within the international business, revenue decreased 1 percent in EMEA (up 6 percent currency neutral), decreased 8 percent in Asia-Pacific (down 4 percent currency neutral), and increased 6 percent in Latin America (up 6 percent currency neutral).
    • Apparel revenue decreased 1 percent to $868 million. Footwear revenue increased 1 percent to $347 million. Accessories revenue decreased 13 percent to $97 million.
  • Gross margin declined 280 basis points to 46.7 percent compared to the prior year, driven primarily by elevated freight expenses related to COVID-19 supply chain impacts, higher than planned promotions, and the negative impact of changes in foreign currency.
  • Selling, general & administrative expenses increased 9 percent to $596 million, including $10 million in legal expenses related to ongoing litigation matters.
  • Operating income was $34 million. Adjusted operating income was $44 million.
  • Net Income was $8 million. Adjusted net income was $15 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.02. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.03.
  • Inventory was up 8 percent to $954 million.
  • Cash and Cash Equivalents were $1.0 billion at the end of the quarter, and no borrowings were outstanding under the company's $1.1 billion revolving credit facility.

Updated Fiscal 2023 Outlook

As a reminder, Under Armour began its new fiscal year 2023 on April 1, 2022. Accordingly, the comparable baseline period is April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022. Key points related to Under Armour's fiscal year 2023 outlook include:

  • No change to the previous expectation of 5 to 7 percent revenue growth. Excluding approximately 200 basis points of anticipated foreign currency headwinds, currency-neutral revenue is expected to be up 7 to 9 percent.
  • Gross margin is expected to be down 375 to 425 basis points compared to the previous expectation of a 150 to 200 basis point decline compared to the baseline period's gross margin of 49.6 percent. Versus our last outlook, this decline is primarily driven by expected higher promotional activities, channel mix, and additional negative impacts from anticipated changes in foreign currency.
  • Selling, general & administrative expenses are expected to be flat to the prior year as the company prioritizes investments and implements mitigation measures in response to anticipated gross margin pressure.
  • Operating income is expected to reach $300 to $325 million compared to the previous range of $375 to $400 million. Excluding an expense related to ongoing litigation matters, adjusted operating income is expected to reach $310 to $335 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share is expected to be $0.61 to $0.67 compared to the previous expectation of $0.79 to $0.84. This includes a $0.28 benefit related to a tax valuation allowance release expected to be realized during the fiscal year. Of this $0.28 benefit, $0.16 of this amount is related to prior restructuring. Additionally, there is a $0.02 negative impact from legal expenses related to ongoing litigation matters. Excluding these net positive impacts of $0.14, adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be $0.47 to $0.53, compared to the previous expectation of $0.63 to $0.68.
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $225 million, consistent with the previously provided range of 3 percent to 5 percent of revenue.

Share Buyback Update

In February 2022, Under Armour announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of its outstanding Class C common stock over two years. The company repurchased $25 million during the first quarter, leaving approximately $175 million remaining under this authorization.

Conference Call and Webcast

Under Armour will hold its first quarter fiscal 2023 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" results, as well as "adjusted" forward-looking estimates of the company's results for its 2023 fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. 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 impact of legal expenses related to ongoing litigation matters, the company's 2020 restructuring plan, and related impairment charges, including goodwill and related tax effects. Where applicable, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted income (loss) per share exclude the non-cash amortization of debt discount on the company's convertible senior notes, any gain or loss on extinguishing the company's convertible senior notes, and related tax effects, and any gain or loss from divestitures (including earn-outs and related 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. In addition, in connection with its change in fiscal year-end from December 31 to March 31, Under Armour is presenting select non-GAAP financial measures for the twelve months beginning on April 1, 2021, and ending March 31, 2022, to provide comparable reference periods against the company's new fiscal 2023 year, which began April 1, 2022, and ends on March 31, 2023. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation. They 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.
