Forward Guidance

Under Armour’s outlook for the transition quarter ending March 31, 2022, when compared to the same calendar period of fiscal 2021, includes the following:

Positive Outlook

  • Revenue is expected to increase at a mid-single-digit rate compared to the previous expectation of a low single-digit rate increase.

Challenges Ahead

  • Gross margin is expected to be down 200 basis points compared to the prior year period's adjusted gross margin.
  • This expectation includes approximately 240 basis points of negative impact due to higher freight expenses resulting from ongoing COVID-19 supply chain challenges in addition to unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by pricing benefits.
  • Operating income is expected to reach approximately $30 million to $35 million.
  • Diluted earnings per share are expected to be $0.02 to $0.03.
  • This expectation includes approximately 10 percentage points of headwinds related to reductions in our spring-summer 2022 order book from supply constraints associated with ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts.
