, /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UAA, UA) today announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, which ended June 30, 2026. Results are reported in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). References to "constant currency" and "adjusted" results are non-GAAP financial measures; reconciliations are provided below.
"As we navigate a challenging consumer demand environment, we continue to make progress in building a more focused Under Armour, despite updating our full-year revenue outlook," said Under Armour President and CEO Kevin Plank. "By simplifying the business, we are operating with greater discipline and better positioned to protect profitability, while still investing in a sharper product portfolio through clearer storytelling with the goal of driving a more premium Under Armour that will consistently earn demand at full price."
First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Review
Revenue decreased 3 percent to $1.1 billion (down 4 percent constant currency). North America revenue declined 9 percent to $610 million, while international revenue increased 5 percent to $490 million (up 2 percent constant currency). Within international markets, EMEA revenue increased 12 percent (up 10 percent constant currency), Asia-Pacific decreased 7 percent (down 10 percent constant currency), and Latin America increased 8 percent (up 1 percent constant currency). Wholesale revenue decreased 2 percent to $638 million and direct-to-consumer (DTC) revenue decreased 6 percent to $437 million. Within DTC, owned-and-operated store revenue declined 3 percent, and eCommerce revenue decreased 12 percent, representing 29 percent of total DTC revenue for the quarter. By category, apparel revenue decreased 2 percent to $734 million, footwear revenue declined 8 percent to $245 million, and accessories revenue decreased 4 percent to $96 million. Gross margin increased 590 basis points to 54.1 percent, primarily due to refunds received associated with the recovery of International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") tariff costs expensed in fiscal 2026. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, unfavorable regional and channel mix, and pricing headwinds. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 2 percent to $543 million, primarily due to targeted investments to strengthen the brand as well as continued disciplined operating expense management. Excluding $2 million in transformation expenses related to the Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, adjusted SG&A increased 4 percent to $541 million. Restructuring charges totaled $4 million. Operating income was $47 million. Excluding transformation and restructuring charges, adjusted operating income was $52 million. Net income was $1 million. Adjusted net income was $21 million, which excludes transformation and restructuring charges. Diluted earnings per share was $0.00; adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.05. Inventory decreased 3 percent to $1.1 billion. Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $396 million at quarter-end and $200 million of borrowings were outstanding under its $1.1 billion revolving credit facility. On June 15 upon maturity, funds from the company's restricted investments were used to settle all remaining principal and interest payments to holders of the Senior Notes due 2026, which, as previously disclosed, were satisfied and discharged during fiscal 2026. Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan
In the first quarter, the company recorded $4 million in restructuring charges and $2 million in transformation-related SG&A expenses, for a total of $6 million under its Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan. To date, the company has incurred $266 million in total restructuring and transformation costs, including $116 million in cash and $150 million in non-cash charges. Total program costs under the plan are anticipated to be approximately $305 million. The company expects the plan to be substantially complete by December 31, 2026.
Updated Fiscal 2027 Outlook
The company has updated its fiscal 2027 outlook. Compared with fiscal 2026, key highlights of the company's outlook include:
Revenue is now expected to decline at a mid-single-digit percentage rate compared with the prior outlook of a slight decline. The revised outlook is driven by softer demand, particularly in North America and Asia-Pacific. The company remains focused on balancing near-term revenue opportunities with actions that strengthen long-term brand health, including disciplined marketplace management and protection of full-price selling. The updated outlook incorporates a mid-single-digit percent decline in North America (prior low-single-digit decline), and low-single-digit declines in both Asia-Pacific (prior low-single-digit increase) and EMEA (prior low-single-digit increase). Gross Margin is still expected to increase 220 to 270 basis points versus the prior year's gross margin. Approximately 150 basis points of this improvement is due to the recovery of IEEPA-related tariff costs expensed in fiscal 2026 realized in the first quarter. Excluding this benefit, the company continues to expect gross margin expansion driven by pricing actions, lower discounting, and a more favorable channel mix, partially offset by supply chain headwinds related to the conflict in the Middle East and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. SG&A expense, including transformation expenses related to the Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, is now expected to decrease at a high-single-digit rate versus the prior expectation for a low-single-digit decline. Excluding transformation expenses, Adjusted SG&A is now expected to decrease at a low-single-digit rate (prior low-single-digit rate increase). The updated outlook reflects actions to align operating expenses with the current demand environment while continuing to prioritize the company's highest-return strategic investments. Operating Income is still expected to be in the range of $96 million to $116 million. Excluding expected transformation expenses and restructuring charges, Adjusted Operating Income is still expected to be $140 million to $160 million. To achieve this, the company expects to substantially offset the impact of lower revenue through disciplined expense management and a more agile and disciplined operating model while continuing to invest in the areas most critical to strengthening the brand. This outlook includes an approximate $70 million benefit from the realization of refunds from prior-year IEEPA tariff expenses and approximately $35 million in headwinds related to the conflict in the Middle East. Diluted Loss Per Share is now expected to range from $0.01 to $0.05 versus the prior expectation of breakeven to a loss per share of $0.04. Excluding anticipated transformation expenses and restructuring charges, the expectation for Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share remains $0.08 to $0.12. Conference Call and Webcast
Under Armour will hold its first-quarter fiscal 2027 conference call today at approximately 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The call will stream live at https://about.underarmour.com/investor-relations/financials and will be available for replay approximately three hours after the live event.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release discusses "constant currency" and "adjusted" results, as well as the company's "adjusted" forward-looking estimates for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Management believes this information is valuable for investors seeking to compare the company's operational results across periods, as it provides clearer insight into underlying performance by excluding these impacts. Constant currency financial data removes fluctuations caused by foreign currency exchange rates. Adjusted financial measures exclude the effects of the company's litigation reserve expense (and related insurance recoveries) and the company's Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, its associated charges, and related tax effects, as well as the valuation allowance against its U.S. federal deferred tax assets. Management states that these adjustments are not essential to the company's core operations. The reconciliation of non-GAAP figures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the supplemental financial information accompanying this release. All per-share amounts are reported on a diluted basis. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation; they should be considered alongside the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the company's non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.
