BALTIMORE, May 12, 2026 /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").

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."

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.

• 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.

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.

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.
