Forward Guidance

Under Armour's fiscal year 2024 outlook includes revenue expected to be flat to up slightly, gross margin expected to be up 25 to 75 basis points, and diluted earnings per share expected to be between $0.47 and $0.51.

Positive Outlook

  • Revenue is expected to be flat to up slightly.
  • Gross margin is expected to be up 25 to 75 basis points compared to the prior year’s rate of 44.9 percent, driven by supply chain tailwinds related to lower freight costs.
  • Selling, general & administrative expenses are expected to be flat to up slightly.
  • Operating income is expected to reach $310 to $330 million.
  • Effective tax rate is expected to be in the low twenties percentage range.

Challenges Ahead

  • Gross margin increase is partially offset by mix impacts related to higher off-price revenue and higher promotions expected in the company’s direct-to-consumer business.
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be between $250 and $270 million.
