, /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UAA, UA) today announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2026, which ended March 31, 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.
"Our fiscal 2026 performance reflects the ongoing intentional steps we're taking to reset the business and restore the discipline required to operate as a best-in-class brand," said Kevin Plank, President and CEO of Under Armour. "Over the past two years, we've addressed structural and macro challenges head-on while elevating our product strategy. We're streamlining our operating model and increasing accountability in execution, driving a more controlled and predictable business."
Plank continued, "As our topline stabilizes in fiscal 2027, we are applying the same rigor that is strengthening our product engine to our storytelling capabilities. Building world-class, modern marketing excellence is now our highest priority that we believe will accelerate consumer demand and help reshape Under Armour's profit profile."
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Review
Revenue decreased 1 percent to $1.2 billion (down 4 percent constant currency). North America revenue declined 7 percent to $641 million, while international revenue increased 10 percent to $539 million (up 3 percent constant currency). Within international markets, EMEA revenue increased 7 percent (down 1 percent constant currency), Asia-Pacific increased 13 percent (up 8 percent constant currency), and Latin America increased 22 percent (up 8 percent constant currency). Wholesale revenue decreased 3 percent to $748 million and direct-to-consumer (DTC) revenue increased 5 percent to $406 million. Within DTC, owned-and-operated store revenue grew 8 percent, and eCommerce revenue was flat, representing 35 percent of total DTC revenue for the quarter. By category, apparel revenue was flat at $778 million, footwear was flat at $282 million, and accessories grew 2 percent to $94 million. Gross margin declined 470 basis points to 42.0 percent, primarily due to higher tariffs, as well as higher product costs, pricing headwinds, and unfavorable regional mix, partially offset by foreign exchange gains and favorable channel mix. Excluding restructuring impacts, adjusted gross margin declined 360 basis points to 43.1 percent. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 15 percent to $518 million, primarily reflecting lower marketing spend due to timing shifts, with most prior-year spending occurring in the second half, along with lower incentive compensation and overall expense management. Excluding $15 million in transformation expenses related to the Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, adjusted SG&A declined 14 percent to $503 million. Restructuring charges totaled $8 million. Operating loss was $34 million. Excluding transformation and restructuring charges, adjusted operating income was $3 million. Net loss was $43 million. Adjusted net loss was $11 million, which excludes transformation and restructuring charges. Diluted loss per share was $0.10; adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.03. Inventory decreased 3 percent to $915 million. Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $309 million at quarter-end. The company also held $605 million in restricted investments designated for the repayment of its senior notes due in June 2026. At quarter-end, $200 million of borrowings were outstanding under its $1.1 billion revolving credit facility. Full Year Fiscal 2026 Review
Revenue decreased 4 percent to $5.0 billion (down 5 percent constant currency). North America revenue decreased by 8 percent to $2.9 billion, while international revenue grew by 4 percent to $2.1 billion (flat constant currency). Within the international business, revenue increased 9 percent in EMEA (up 3 percent constant currency), declined by 5 percent in Asia-Pacific (down 6 percent constant currency), and increased 9 percent in Latin America (up 6 percent constant currency). Wholesale revenue decreased 5 percent to $2.8 billion, and DTC revenue declined 2 percent to $2.1 billion. Revenue from owned and operated stores increased 1 percent, while eCommerce revenue decreased 7 percent, and accounted for 33 percent of the total DTC business for the year. Apparel revenue decreased 2 percent to $3.4 billion; footwear revenue declined 11 percent to $1.1 billion, and accessories revenue increased 1 percent to $414 million. Gross margin decreased 240 basis points to 45.5 percent, primarily due to higher tariffs, with smaller headwinds from pricing, higher product costs, and unfavorable channel and regional mix, partially offset by positive foreign currency impacts and favorable product mix. Excluding restructuring impacts, adjusted gross margin declined 220 basis points to 45.7 percent. SG&A expenses declined 12 percent to $2.3 billion. Adjusted SG&A expenses decreased 5 percent to $2.2 billion, which excludes $99 million in litigation reserve expense and approximately $31 million in transformation costs related to our Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan. Restructuring charges were $128 million. Operating loss was $163 million. Excluding the company's litigation reserve expense, transformation expenses, and restructuring charges, adjusted operating income was $107 million. Net loss was $496 million, which included a $247 million valuation allowance on its U.S. federal deferred tax assets. Adjusted net income was $50 million, which excludes the litigation reserve expense, transformation and restructuring charges, and the valuation allowance. Diluted loss per share was $1.16. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.12. Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan
In the fourth quarter, the company recorded $8 million in restructuring charges, $13 million of restructuring in cost of goods sold, and $15 million in transformation-related SG&A expenses, for a total of $36 million under its Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan. To date, the company has incurred $261 million in total restructuring and transformation costs, slightly above its previous expectation of $255 million, including $109 million in cash and $152 million in non-cash charges. Following a comprehensive review, the company is initiating a targeted extension of the plan, bringing total program costs to approximately $305 million. The company expects the plan to be substantially complete by December 31, 2026.
Fiscal 2027 Outlook
Compared with fiscal 2026, key highlights of the company's fiscal 2027 outlook include:
Revenue is expected to decline slightly year over year, with a low single-digit decrease in North America partially offset by low single-digit growth in EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Gross Margin is expected to increase 220 to 270 basis points versus last year's gross margin. Approximately 150 basis points of this improvement is driven by an assumed reversal of International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") tariff costs expensed in fiscal 2026. Excluding this benefit, gross margin improvement reflects pricing actions and a more favorable channel mix, partially offset by higher tariff rates currently in place, along with supply chain headwinds related to the Middle East conflict. Including the additional transformation expenses related to the Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Plan, SG&A expenses are expected to decrease at a low single-digit rate. Excluding the transformation expenses, adjusted SG&A is expected to increase at a low single-digit rate. This increase reflects normalization of reduced prior year incentive compensation and benefit costs as part of the company's tariff mitigation strategy, as well as incremental marketing investment to strengthen the brand as the business stabilizes, while maintaining disciplined cost control. Operating income is expected to be in the range of $96 million to $116 million. Excluding expected transformation expenses and restructuring charges, adjusted operating income is anticipated to be $140 million to $160 million. This adjusted operating income includes an approximate $70 million benefit from the assumption that refunds from prior year IEEPA tariff expenses are realized, approximately $35 million of headwinds from the conflict in the Middle East, and approximately $30 million of incremental marketing investments. Diluted loss per share is expected to range from breakeven to $0.04. Excluding anticipated transformation expenses and restructuring charges, adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to range from $0.08 to $0.12, reflecting continued investment and external cost pressures, partially offset by the benefit of tariff-related refunds. This also incorporates an anticipated effective tax rate considerably higher than the prior year, due to unfavorable regional mix and profitability. Conference Call and Webcast
Under Armour will hold its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 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.

Insiders Buy 3 High-Risk Stocks—Here’s What’s Driving the MovesUnder Armour NYSE: UA executives said the athletic apparel company is entering fiscal 2027 with a sharper focus on premium products, disciplined inventory management and marketing efficiency after a fiscal 2026 marked by revenue declines, tariff pressure and a continued business reset.
On the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call, President and CEO Kevin Plank said Under Armour has spent the past two years making “more intentional choices about where and how we compete,” including walking away from certain unprofitable business, reducing complexity and implementing a category management model.
Get Under Armour alerts:
Wolverine World Wide Breaks Out – Will the 92% Rally Continue?“Under Armour is becoming a more focused, disciplined, and intentional company, which is reflected in our execution,” Plank said.
Revenue Declines as North America Remains Under Pressure Chief Financial Officer Reza Taleghani, who joined the company earlier this year, said fiscal 2026 revenue declined 4% to $5 billion. North America revenue fell 8%, EMEA rose 9%, and APAC declined 5%.
Seize the Opportunity: Under Armour Stock Set for a ComebackFor the fourth quarter, revenue declined 1% to $1.2 billion. North America revenue fell 7%, primarily due to a decrease in wholesale and a slight decline in direct-to-consumer sales. EMEA revenue rose 7%, while APAC increased 13% and Latin America grew 22%.
By channel, wholesale revenue declined 3%, driven by lower full-price sales, partially offset by distributor growth. Direct-to-consumer revenue increased 5%, including 8% growth in owned and operated stores and flat e-commerce revenue. Licensing revenue rose 11%, driven by strength in international markets.
By product type, apparel revenue was flat, with growth in training, outdoor and sportswear offset by softness in running, team sports and golf. Footwear revenue was also flat, with strength in running and team sports offset by weakness in other categories. Accessories revenue increased 2%.
Tariffs and Promotions Weigh on Margins Under Armour’s adjusted gross margin for fiscal 2026 declined 220 basis points to 45.7%, which Taleghani attributed primarily to higher U.S. tariffs and a more promotional second half, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange and product mix.
In the fourth quarter, gross margin fell 470 basis points to 42%. Excluding restructuring efforts, adjusted gross margin declined 360 basis points to 43.1%. Taleghani said the decline included 315 basis points of supply chain headwinds, including roughly 260 basis points from U.S. tariffs, along with 90 basis points of promotional pressure and 20 basis points from unfavorable regional mix. These were partially offset by 65 basis points of favorable foreign currency and channel mix.
Fourth-quarter SG&A expenses decreased 15% to $518 million, primarily due to lower marketing spend related to timing, lower incentive compensation and other cost reductions. Excluding $15 million in transformation costs, adjusted SG&A declined 14% to $503 million.
The company reported a fourth-quarter operating loss of $34 million. Excluding transformation expenses and restructuring charges, adjusted operating income was $3 million. The diluted loss per share was $0.10, while the adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.03.
Company Expands Transformation Plan Taleghani said Under Armour has conducted a comprehensive business review and is initiating a targeted expansion of its transformation plan. Total anticipated costs are now expected to be approximately $305 million, with the plan substantially complete by Dec. 31.
The company ended the fiscal year with $915 million in inventory, down 3% from a year earlier. Taleghani said the reduction reflected “continued discipline” and deliberate fourth-quarter actions to further reduce inventory.
“Importantly, this is not just lower inventory, but better inventory with improved quality driven by tighter buys, a more focused assortment, and stronger alignment with demand,” Taleghani said.
Under Armour closed the year with $309 million in cash and $605 million in restricted investments set aside to cover principal and interest on senior notes due in June. The company also had $200 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
Fiscal 2027 Outlook Calls for Slight Revenue Decline For fiscal 2027, Under Armour expects revenue to be down slightly, including an approximately 1-point impact from the Curry Brand exit. Excluding that impact, Taleghani said revenue would be roughly flat. The company expects a low-single-digit decline in North America, partially offset by low-single-digit growth in EMEA and APAC.
Under Armour forecast gross margin expansion of approximately 220 to 270 basis points versus fiscal 2026. That outlook includes a potential refund related to IEEPA tariffs expensed through the fiscal 2026 income statement, which is expected to contribute about 150 basis points, with most of the benefit recognized in the first quarter.
Excluding anticipated transformation expenses and restructuring charges, the company expects fiscal 2027 adjusted operating income of $140 million to $160 million. The outlook includes approximately $70 million of benefit from the expected tariff refund, which Taleghani said absorbs about $35 million of headwinds related to the Middle East conflict and $30 million in strategic marketing investments.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to range from $0.08 to $0.12. For the first quarter, revenue is expected to decline 2% to 3%, driven by a high-single-digit decline in North America, partially offset by a low-teens percentage increase in EMEA. APAC revenue is expected to be roughly flat.
Product and Marketing Strategy Centers on Premiumization Plank said Under Armour is prioritizing revenue quality over volume and is focused on fewer, more purposeful products. He pointed to a 25% reduction in SKUs over the past two years and said further reductions are expected under Kara, the company’s new chief merchandising officer.
The company is also emphasizing innovation in core apparel, including the UA Bouncy Cotton Tee, a $65 product launching in APAC and through Dick’s Sporting Goods and Under Armour’s direct-to-consumer channels in the U.S. Plank described the product as an example of the company’s broader premiumization effort.
“This is what we mean by premiumization, delivering greater performance, versatility, and value through fewer, more purposeful products,” Plank said.
Plank also highlighted Sharon Lokedi’s second consecutive Boston Marathon victory in Under Armour’s Velociti Elite 3, calling it a proof point for the brand’s performance footwear ambitions. He said growing the company’s $1 billion-plus footwear business remains central to its midterm strategy, even as apparel remains a core strength.
Marketing will also receive additional focus. Plank said Under Armour plans to spend an additional $30 million on marketing in fiscal 2027, aimed at supporting product launches and better activating existing assets, including its NFL and collegiate partnerships.
“This isn’t just us throwing money at something,” Plank said. “We believe that this will actually help us drive more efficiency.”
Executives said the company’s goal is to stabilize in fiscal 2027 and position the business for more sustainable growth beyond that period. Plank said the company is seeing early signs of cleaner inventory, improved sell-through and stronger engagement with key wholesale partners, though he acknowledged that Under Armour is “not improving our bottom line fast enough” and must continue tightening execution.
