BALTIMORE, Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA, UAA) today announced financial results for
the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. All per share amounts are on a diluted basis. This release refers
to “currency neutral” amounts which is a non-GAAP financial measure described below under the “Non-GAAP Financial
Information” paragraph.
“We are incredibly proud that in 2016, we once again posted record revenue and earnings, however, numerous challenges
and disruptions in North American retail tempered our fourth quarter results,” said Kevin Plank, Under Armour Chairman and
CEO. “The strength of our Brand, an unparalleled connection with our consumers and the continuation of investments in our
fastest growing businesses — footwear, international and direct-to-consumer — give us great confidence in our ability to
navigate the current retail environment, execute against our long-term growth strategy and create value to our
shareholders.”
Fourth Quarter 2016 Review
Š
Š
Š
Š
Revenues were up 12 percent to $1.3 billion, driven by a 5 percent increase in wholesale revenues to $742 million
and a 23 percent increase in direct-to-consumer revenues to $518 million. North American revenues grew 6 percent.
International revenues, which represented 16 percent of total revenues in the quarter, were up 55 percent (up 60
percent currency neutral) driven by significant growth in the U.K., Germany, China and Australia. Apparel revenues
increased 7 percent to $929 million including strength in golf and basketball. Footwear revenues increased 36
percent to $228 million driven by accelerated growth in running and basketball. Accessories revenues increased 7
percent to $104 million with strength in bags and headwear.
Gross margin was 44.8 percent compared with 48 percent in the prior year’s period, as benefits from more favorable
product costs were offset by aggressive efforts to manage inventory, changes in foreign currency and the
outperformance of footwear and international businesses in the overall mix, which carry lower margins than our
apparel and North American businesses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses grew 9 percent to $420 million, or 32.1 percent of sales (down 70
basis points), due to continued investments in the company’s highest growth businesses: footwear, international, and
direct-to-consumer.
Operating income declined 6 percent to $167 million. Net income decreased 1 percent to $105 million and diluted
earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $0.23 compared with $0.24 in the prior year’s period.
Full Year 2016 Review

Š
Revenues increased 22 percent to $4.8 billion (up 23 percent currency neutral) including a 19 percent increase in
wholesale revenues to $3.1 billion and a 27 percent increase in direct-to-consumer revenues which reached $1.5
billion. Direct-to-consumer revenues reached 31 percent of total revenues compared with 30 percent in 2015. North
American revenues grew 16 percent and international revenues grew 63 percent (up 69 percent currency neutral).
For the full year, international revenues represented 15 percent of total revenues, compared with 11 percent in 2015.
Apparel revenues increased 15 percent to $3.2 billion led by growth in golf, basketball and training. Footwear
revenues grew 50 percent to reach $1 billion driven by balanced growth across all categories with particular strength
in running and basketball. Accessories revenues increased 17 percent to $407 million with strength in bags and
headwear and Connected Fitness increased 51 percent to $80 million.
Gross margin was 46.5 percent compared with 48.1 percent as benefits from more favorable product costs were
offset by efforts to manage inventory, changes in foreign currency and the outperformance of the footwear and
international businesses in the overall mix, which carry lower margins than the apparel and North American
businesses.
In line with revenue growth, full year selling, general and administrative expenses grew 22 percent and reached
$1.8 billion, or 37.8 percent of revenues.
Operating income increased 3 percent to $420 million and net income grew 11 percent to $259 million. Diluted
earnings per share for full year 2016 were $0.45 per share for Class A and B shares and $0.71 per share for Class
C shares, reflecting the impact of a $59 million stock dividend paid to Class C shareholders during the second
quarter. If the Class C stock dividend had not been paid, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for all classes for
2016 would have been $0.58 per share. This compares with diluted earnings per share of $0.53 for all classes in
2015.
Balance Sheet Highlights – As of December 31, 2016
Compared with December 31, 2015:
Š
Cash and cash equivalents increased 93 percent to $250 million.
Š
Š
Inventory increased 17 percent to $917 million.
Total debt increased 22 percent to $817 million.
2017 Outlook
“Looking forward, our successful track record of re-defining performance gives us great confidence that the opportunities
for long-term growth at Under Armour have never been greater,” said Plank. “The current environment represents an
inflection point to maximize our unique strengths by staying on offense — investing smartly in innovation, deepening our
Brand connection with consumers and amplifying our focus on operational excellence — positioning Under Armour as a
stronger company.”
Key points related to Under Armour’s full year 2017 outlook include:
Š
Š
Š
Š
Net revenues are expected to grow 11 to 12 percent to reach nearly $5.4 billion, up 12 to 13 percent currency
neutral.
Gross margin is expected to be slightly down compared to the prior year with benefits in product costs being offset
by continued pressure from changes in foreign currency and sales mix, as the footwear and international businesses
continue to outpace the growth of the higher margin apparel and North American businesses.
Tempered top line results coupled with strategic investments in the company’s fastest growing businesses are
expected to cause a decline in operating income to approximately $320 million.
Other full year assumptions include interest expense of approximately $40 million and an effective tax rate of 32
to 34 percent.
Management Changes
The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chip Molloy, has decided to leave the company due to personal reasons. Effective
February 3, David Bergman, Senior Vice President, Corporate Finance, and a seasoned member of Under Armour’s
accounting and finance organization, will serve as acting CFO. Mr. Molloy will remain with the company in an advisory
capacity to assist with the transition.
Mr. Bergman joined Under Armour in 2005 and is currently responsible for leading all major finance functions including
financial planning and analysis, treasury and tax. Prior to this position, he served as Corporate Controller along with several
senior management roles within the Company’s accounting and finance organization. Both Mr. Molloy and Mr. Bergman will
participate in Under Armour’s fourth quarter call and webcast today.
Conference Call and Webcast
Under Armour will hold its 2016 fourth quarter conference call and webcast today at approximately 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
The call will be webcast live at http://investor.underarmour.com/events.cfm and will be archived and available for replay
approximately three hours after the live event. Financial results and additional supporting materials related to the call can
be found at http://investor.underarmour.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). However, this press release refers to “non-GAAP diluted earnings per share” and certain “currency neutral”
financial information, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP
measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. See the end of this press
release for this reconciliation.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is calculated to exclude the one-time dividend to our Class C stockholders discussed
above. Management believes this presentation provides a useful metric to investors because it excludes the effect of this
one-time event allowing investors to compare the Company’s results over multiple periods. Currency neutral financial
information is calculated to exclude foreign exchange impact. Management uses this information internally to assess sales
performance and believes this information is useful both internally and to investors to facilitate a comparison of the
Company’s results of operations period-over-period. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in
accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies.
