President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc.
Thanks, Lance, and thank you all for joining us this morning. With the first quarter complete, this is an important 
moment to evaluate our position and importantly, our direction. We're undertaking a bold reinvention and 
rebuilding with purpose to become a sharper, more focused brand, one that blends sports, style and innovation 
with financial discipline and edge. This isn't about fixing the past. It's about unlocking our full potential.
Under Armour started as a product in 1996, became a brand over the following two decades, and quite frankly, 
have spent the last eight years operating more like a company than a brand. 16 months back into the CEO role, 
my hands are firmly on the wheel. We're in the process of flipping that script where every decision we make is 
focused through a Brand First lens. This, in no way, means retreating on operational discipline. In fact, it means 
being a better company with a rigor and process, capital allocation, and execution.
But, simply requiring that every decision we do make contemplates, is this the best decision for our brand 
because, if it's the best decision for the brand, then it's the best decision to create long-term shareholder value. 
World-class financials don't build world-class brands. It's actually the other way around. The only way we win is by 
creating a brand people can't ignore. Our current numbers don't yet tell the whole story, but the signs are there.
Brand health is starting to gain traction. Cultural relevance is returning and our phone is ringing from talent that 
wants to join us. EMEA is outperforming. North America, APAC are on a path towards better stability and team 
sports are heating up, while digital engagement is increasing. We're stronger than we were six months ago and 
will be even stronger six months from now.
This transformation isn't easy and requires a lot of patience more than any of us would like, but we're taking the 
right steps to build deeper, lasting connections with consumers and focused on creating mid- and long-term 
shareholder value.
The good news, we're not starting from scratch. We have the essentials with presence in nearly 150 countries, 
2,000 mono branded stores, 15,000 teammates, a new headquarters and almost 30 years of sports credibility. 
Our strength is authenticity, which I don't believe we've fully embraced, and that's now changing. And, yes, the 
environment is challenging limited spending, higher promotions and a dynamic domestic tariff policy.
Independent of that, our mission is clear. Stop the decline and rebuild stronger. I understand what's at stake and 
intend to apply a lifetime of brand-building experience, 20 years of it with the same public company and creating 
our best work driving this transformation. At the heart of this are bold front two shifts, deliberate moves that 
redefine our brand identity and reshape our operations. Let me walk you through how we're turning that vision into 
reality.
Over the past year, we've achieved significant progress in realigning our product engine, simplifying operations 
and positioning Under Armour to better serve athletes, customers and shareholders in the long run. We've faced 
some tough truths. Our assortment had been too broad, our material library is too complicated, and our design 
language lacked clarity. So we're simplifying, we're consolidating, we're editing and we're laying the foundation for 
sharper execution and better pricing.

Cutting down the product range and materials is already making us faster, leaner and more focused. We're on 
track to meet our initial goal of reducing SKUs by 25%. We're discovering more ways to streamline. This focus 
sharpens execution and strengthens our product lineup. We've already cut our materials by 30% for our 2025 
products and plan to reduce it further in 2026, lowering costs, improving sourcing, and supporting more 
sustainable, innovation-driven design.
In effect, as our old saying goes, we plan to spend much more time writing a much shorter letter.
We've certainly made progress and now aim to push even harder, especially with underperforming and low 
margin products, leading with math, like any basic 80/20 rule, but ensuring that we're also brand-informed as we 
make decisions.
In March, we introduced a new category management operating model and go-to-market process. Both are now 
active and continuously being refined. Along the way, we've combined experienced UA talent, with fresh 
leadership to inject energy and expertise where it counts most.
Just last week, Eric Liedtke and I guided our corporate team through our five-year strategic roadmap, effectively 
the final and third leg of the Brand Foundation to complement our operating model that rolled out in February and 
the go-to-market we described during our last call using the No Weigh Backpack as our example. These three 
brand foundational pillars are essential to any transformation and what I'm most excited about from a progress 
standpoint since April of 2024.
A key component of any strong culture is ensuring that every teammate knows exactly what's expected of them 
and what the definition of success is. This structure is now in place. Our team is aligned. We're set up to run. The 
fight to simplify the broader strategic goal for the organization into one statement of what we aim to achieve, it is 
selling so much more of so much less at a much higher full retail price.
That means tighter assortments, more key item safety stock, netting better order fulfillment, straightforward 
storytelling of intentional personified products that we make famous like our HeatGear Baselayer, realizing the full 
retail value for our product all the way out the door. It's what's essential for us to make this brand transformation 
happen. This is underway, and we're driving through two key levers.
First, we'll continue to watch pinnacle-defining products like our HeatGear OG Compression [ph] mask (00:07:40), 
the Velociti Elite 3 Running Shoe, the Magnetico football boot, and Halo Collection, along with accessories such 
as the StealthForm hat and the No Weigh Backpack, products that only you UA could make, informed from our 
unique brand intersection of sports authenticity, cultural style, and distinct innovation, all with higher ASPs that 
we're inviting the market to stretch to and they're gaining real traction.
Secondly, we're working to apply those lessons of premiumizing our brand to our top 10 volume drivers across 
apparel, footwear and accessories. We're systematically redesigning our top 10 volume items for better 
performance, bolder designs, leading to better and more full average selling price revenue.
We're elevating the reason to buy UA, updated industry-leading innovative products with richer storytelling and 
brand confidence for our consumers. These top 10 styles represent tens of millions of units that, once driving 
higher average selling prices, will fall straight to our bottom line.

This two-lever strategy also has the benefit of being the same play we are and would run to help mitigate tariff 
impacts. While we cannot affect holistically in the short-term, we should see this benefit coming to our P&L in 
coming seasons. Pulling this example all the way through, where prior to April 2, we'd already been planning to 
improve product quality for our consumers with an item like our $25 Tech tee, moving that to a higher price point, 
justified by enhancing fabric material, design and story.
Now, we're considering pushing our price point a bit further to an embedded consumer who we do have pricing 
power with. Effectively, we're running a very similar play to elevate the brand that we're now incorporating to 
mitigate tariffs.
We're not, however, walking away from value-driven consumers. Sports gives us room to compete at every level: 
good, better and best. We're expanding our top tiers while keeping the right products at entry price points, but 
moving those price points and the products' quality themselves up. That balance is what built Under Armour and 
it's how we'll continue to succeed by creating performance gear that is desired by consumers regardless of the 
price point.
We're also changing how we connect with athletes, a realignment of our presence and who we serve. We're 
shifting from a gym-first approach to a focus on team sports, emphasizing both American and global football, 
basketball, baseball and volleyball. It's a deliberate move back to performance, bringing new energy and 
relevance to today's game.
At the same time, we're expanding beyond our Gen X Foundation to connect with Gen Z and Alpha, purposedriven athletes who value transparency, authenticity and daily relevance. We're also shifting from primarily a 
professional athlete-only model to an influencer-led network, broadening our athlete roster to include high school 
stars, college athletes, creators and their communities. Through NIL partnerships, grassroots efforts and authentic 
storytelling, we're building momentum from the ground up, and the energy will continue to grow.
This transformation cuts across every category. We're expanding beyond just the locker room, building real sports 
for our credibility, while continuing to deliver high performance gear for athletes both on and off the field. We're 
also working to close the gap we let sit for too long, the needs of women. Yes, we built a $1 billion plus women's 
business, but its share of our total hasn't increased. That's on us and we're addressing it.
We're integrating a women-centered approach directly into our category management model, led by longtime UA 
veteran, Jeannette Robertson. It's a structural change and we're working hard to get it right, not only in product, 
but also in how we design market and bring her into our brand.
Next, let's talk about footwear. We know it's not where it should be. For too long, we lacked focus and consistency 
in a category that defines our industry. We pursued too many ideas, adopted franchise architecture late and 
missed opportunities in innovation, design and storytelling that athletes expect from Under Armour.
But two years ago, we reset our footwear business under the leadership of industry veteran Yassine Saidi. We 
made a very intentional decision to take a step back, to move forward, streamlining the portfolio, eliminating 
underperforming lines, and rebuilding with a sharper, more focused foundation, deeply connected to the athlete in 
all aspects of how they live.
Running footwear is a great example where we now have two very clear pinnacle vertical silos of product, Velociti 
and the recently launched HALO. We've made the decision to sunset our previous Infinite franchise, which we 
believe is a long-term brand right decision, but it's come at a price which you're seeing affect our near-term

footwear declines and replaced it with the broader aperture and more sports casual vertical of HALO, while 
doubling down on our Velociti franchise in high performance run.
These deliberate decisions, combined with softer demand, are weighing on our results and we own that. 
However, we believe this to be near-term and, over the mid- to long-term, we anticipate harnessing our Velociti 
and HALO Foundation to drive greater intention across our running category and a blueprint for the broader 
footwear business. Our immediate numbers reflect the transition, but believe that our long-term results will reflect 
the transformation.
The goal is simple, sharper design, stronger storytelling, reliable performance on and off the field. Early signs are 
promising, and we're moving in the right direction.
In running, the Velociti Elite 3 is delivering six major wins this year. American Records in the half and mile, and 
Sharon Lokedi's course record in Boston just this past year. This is exactly the kind of pinnacle moment we're 
building for, from the $250 Elite 3 with design continuity that stretches across six price points, all the way down to 
the $75 redesigned Assert, our largest volume program.
Our running collection connects with runners at every level, boosting brand momentum, earning credibility with 
athletes, and turning that momentum into real commercial success.
In American football, the spotlight Pro Suede sold out at launch; in baseball, our King of Diamonds and Juice 
Drops are driving momentum. In global football, Achraf Hakimi wears Magnetico Elite on the world's biggest stage 
and, in basketball, Flow continues to drive our iconic franchises.
These wins are restoring our credibility and fueling performance growth with new sports style 120-plus-dollar 
franchises like SlipSpeed, ECHO and Apparition, along with fresh launches like Sola and HALO. We're confidently 
moving into the premium space. The goal isn't just to compete, but to lead with ASPs that reflect the strength of 
our brand and the quality of our products.
From a channel perspective, we're shifting from transactional selling to a storage driven brand that consumers 
seek out and support. In the US, this involves replacing a long standing focus on discounts with premium athletecentered narratives brought to life through elevated DTC experiences. These stories generate demand and 
improve full price sell-through while strengthening our loyalty memberships and driving wholesale interest.
From an operational perspective, we're transforming how we work by moving from siloed functions to 
collaborative category-led teams driven by real time data and shared KPIs. This modern system is built for speed, 
scale and smarter decision making, utilizing AI to help us.
We're also shifting seasonal drops to an ongoing cycle of brand-led storytelling, fostering emotional connections 
and lasting loyalty through culturally relevant moments and timely innovation. Additionally, AI is becoming more 
integrated across the business enhancing design, planning and forecasting.
After two years of data and platform development, we have over 80 automations that are streamlining workflows, 
reducing time to market and improving execution from predictive pricing to real time inventory management.
Next, let's talk about the regions, starting with North America, where we expect fiscal 2026 to see challenges from 
higher costs due to tariffs and you have softer demand, yet we see this as an inflection point, not a ceiling.

Despite the environment, we're executing a phased plan to rebuild brand loyalty, improve revenue quality and lay 
the groundwork for sustainable growth.
In our largest market, we're regaining cultural relevance, beginning with American football and expanding into 
team sports, creators and culture collaborations that connect Under Armour to the core of the athlete and culture.
Our priorities are clear, strengthen brand loyalty through top tier sports culture, emotionally compelling 
storytelling; stabilize the growth by increasing full price e-commerce; boosting factory house profitability and 
rebuilding wholesale partnerships; and shrink the battlefield by concentrating on key product franchises and 
optimized distribution to achieve more consistent wins, doing less things better. Amid this reset, we're seeing 
early signs of progress.
In digital, we're recreating a more connected experience-driven platform. Although results are still modest, the 
momentum is evident. Spotlight Suede became our top full price footwear style, driven by organic TikTok Buzz, 
our SMS program, launched in June, has already gained over 100,000 subscribers, and our Instagram shop has 
been seeing strong growth since its relaunch this past month.
Our e-commerce Net Promoter Score has increased by 18 points year-over-year to nearly 70, a strong signal that 
our customer experience is improving and our efforts are resonating. Traffic and sell-through still have room to 
grow, we're tackling that with faster site performance, richer storytelling and smarter merchandising.
In our Factory House business, innovation is fueling sales growth, even with this value channel, we're seeing 
success testing new key items at full price, including our $45 StealthForm Hat and our HeatGear collection are 
both strong examples.
Although traffic remains slower, improved execution is boosting conversion rates. Factory House continues to 
serve as a proving ground for mix experimentation, raising ASPs and protecting margin through smarter 
promotions and targeted merchandising.
Wholesale remains our biggest North American growth opportunity. Reclaiming shelf space takes time, but we're 
approaching with discipline and optimism and our partners are listening. Leading with innovative products like 
HeatGear and a strong cleated footwear performance, we're re-engaging customers and building trust. Each 
season brings new opportunities, and we're laying the groundwork now for future success.
In our storytelling, we're making one thing clear, Under Armour is back, we're beginning to see it in the numbers. 
Brand health is improving and our renewed narrative and full funnel media investments are connecting with the 
athletes we want to reach.
Our renewed NFL partnership and signings like the number one draft pick, Cam Ward and Luther Burden III show 
our long-term commitment to performance. That momentum drives our We are Football campaign that we'll be 
debuting in early September, blending sports, music and culture with athletes, creators and stars like Justin 
Jefferson, recording artist Gunna and Top 7 on 7 talent. With the rapid rise of flag football, especially among 
youth and women, based on our gridiron credibility, we see a clear path to lead here. All in, cultural energy 
continues to grow.
Justin Jefferson's UA NEXT Flight School content reached over 7 million views even before launching on 
YouTube. Spotlight Suede's TikTok Buzz demonstrates how our product and storytelling can create demand.

Activations like the No Weigh Backpack blend performance and lifestyle in a way that feels fresh and uniquely 
UA, especially to the 16 to 24 year old team sports athlete.
Excitement is also growing for this year's Curry Tour in China, which is a multi-day single city immersion that 
unites 30 of the top APAC basketball athletes for Curry Camp. It creates one-on-one moments for Steph and his 
training team, engages regional media and culminates in Curry Con, a fan-driven celebration where supporters 
from across APAC share memorabilia and connect deeply with Stephen, delivering a powerful brand and 
business opportunity through meaningful, high impact interaction.
In EMEA, our strongest performing region, we're achieving profitable, brand driven growth through sharper 
execution, local relevance and financial discipline. We're not trying to be everywhere. We're focused on winning 
where it matters most, guided by a high return, one, two, three, four strategy.
Let me explain. One sport, football, being on pitch with elite athletes like Achraf Hakimi, Toni Rüdiger, Pedro 
Porro, and so many more. It's how we're establishing brand authenticity in Europe. Through targeted marketing, 
credible athletes and franchise led storytelling, we're building trust from grassroots to the elite levels. Two cities, 
London and Paris, are driving our growth. Three countries, the UK, France and Spain. This brings us to four 
categories of focus, football, sportswear, training and running. Momentum is building and we're unlocking EMEA's 
full potential. And, importantly, we're applying the lessons from the success in North America and APAC.
This strengthens our confidence in the path for greater stability and eventual return to growth in these markets.
In Asia Pacific, we've emerged from a reset year stronger and more focused and positioned to advance with 
discipline, starting with the appointment of Simon Pestridge, a 25 year industry veteran to lead the region. With 
structural challenges addressed and key roadblocks removed, we're now building a premium, high integrity 
marketplace that reflects Under Armour's true brand strength.
Our APAC strategy is clear, reignite relevance through local storytelling and innovation, drive full price growth, 
and elevate the marketplace through sharper distribution, disciplined pricing and premium partnerships. 
Combined with tighter inventory management these efforts will strengthen both retail and wholesale execution. 
That said, fiscal 2026 is about stabilizing APAC and building momentum for sustained growth.
Now, before I finish, I want to address the incremental tariffs announced on July 31 and the increased pressures 
our business is facing this year. Following those updates, we estimate approximately $100 million in additional 
tariff related costs, along with softer-than-expected demand in fiscal 2026. When combined, even with mitigation 
efforts and disciplined SG&A management, our profitability is projected to be about half of what it was last year.
None of this is ideal. We don't like this, but also it won't define our year as there's just too much good happening 
with the overall shape and energy of our business. We've faced bigger headwinds before and this is simply the 
next one we'll get through because, no matter the environment, our mission remains unchanged, to execute the 
strategy, strengthen our brand, increase average selling prices, and succeed with athletes. We're running our play 
and that's exactly what we're doing.
With a world class team and a clear strategy aligned across the organization, we're advancing with clarity, agility 
and accountability. Even now, before this transformation is fully realized, Under Armour is a $5 billion brand. 
That's a testament to our enduring relevance, strength of the brand, and a clear signal of the massive potential 
ahead.

At our core, we're not reinventing who we are. We're reclaiming it bold, original, and apologetically UA. I 
appreciate your attention and trust this morning.
And with that, I'll turn it over to Dave to discuss first quarter fiscal 2026 results, and the outlook we have for Q2. 
Dave?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc.
Thanks, Kevin. Moving directly into our first quarter fiscal 2026 results, we're pleased to have delivered another 
quarter that met or slightly exceeded our outlook on every line item. First quarter revenue declined 4% to $1.1 
billion, with regional results as follows.
In North America, revenue declined 5%, primarily due to a decrease in our full-price wholesale business and 
lower e-commerce sales. Revenue in EMEA increased 10%, or 6% after adjusting for foreign currency 
fluctuations, indicating steady growth in the region. Furthermore, EMEA saw growth across all channels during 
the quarter, led by our full-price wholesale business.
APAC revenue decreased 10% on both a reported and currency neutral basis, with declines in wholesale and 
DTC as consumer confidence remains weak amid a highly competitive and promotional [ph] market (00:24:25). 
And within Latin America, revenue declined 15%, partially due to foreign currency headwinds. On a currency 
neutral basis, revenue declined 8% for the quarter, with decreases in full-price wholesale and DTC, partially offset 
by growth in our distributor business.
From a channel perspective, wholesale revenue declined 5% as lower full-price and distributor sales were 
partially offset by growth in our off-price channel, driven by timing of sales to third-party partners.
Direct-to-consumer revenue declined 3%, including a 12% decline in e-commerce sales caused by highly 
competitive conditions in APAC and in North America. Sales at our owned and operated stores increased by 1% 
this quarter, led by our Factory House business. And licensing revenues increased 12%, with growth in both North 
American and international licensees.
Finally, by product type, apparel revenue declined 1%, with softness in run, outdoor and golf, partially offset by 
strength in training and sportswear. Footwear revenue was down 14% in the quarter with declines across all 
categories. This reflects a challenging consumer demand environment and our deliberate work to optimize the 
business, as we prepare for stronger more impactful launches in the seasons ahead. Accessories grew 8% this 
quarter, driven by strength in training and sportswear, along with accelerated inventory management actions.
Our first quarter gross margin increased by 70 basis points year-over-year to 48.2%. This growth was driven by 
55 basis points of favorable foreign currency impacts, 30 basis points of pricing benefits, and 30 basis points of 
favorable product mix. These benefits were partially offset by 45 basis points of unfavorable channel mix and 
supply chain headwinds.
Now, moving to SG&A expenses, which decreased 37% to $530 million in the first quarter as last year's first 
quarter included a considerable litigation reserve expense. Excluding approximately $8 million in the 
transformation expenses related to our fiscal 2025 restructuring plan, our first quarter adjusted SG&A expenses 
were $522 million, reflecting a 6% decline compared to last year's adjusted figure. The decrease was primarily 
driven by lower marketing and savings across various areas and resulting from our restructuring plan and ongoing 
cost management efforts.

In the first quarter, we recorded $13 million of restructuring charges and $8 million in transformation related SG&A 
expenses, totaling approximately $21 million. Since launching our fiscal 2025 restructuring plan, we've recognized 
$110 million in charges and transformation expenses to-date, $65 million of which are cash related and $45 
million in non-cash.
We now expect total plan charges to finish towards the high end of our previously disclosed $140 million to $160 
million range, with the remaining costs primarily tied to the planned closure of our Rialto distribution center, 
recognized by the end of fiscal 2026.
As a result of these actions, we delivered approximately $35 million in savings in fiscal 2025, and expect 
approximately $45 million more in fiscal 2026. With the emergence of significant new tariff pressures, we are 
actively reviewing our cost structure to find additional efficiencies, always with a Brand First approach to ensure 
we can offset headwinds while reinvesting in this product, storytelling and experiences that drive our growth.
Continuing through the P&L, we reported operating income of $3 million in the first quarter. Excluding 
transformation expenses and restructuring charges, our adjusted operating income was $24 million. Looking at 
the bottom line, our reported diluted loss per share was $0.01, while our adjusted diluted earnings per share was 
$0.02 for the quarter.
Now moving to the balance sheet, inventory at the end of Q1 was $1.1 billion, a 2% increase year-over-year. Our 
cash balance was $911 million and we did not utilize our revolving credit facility during the quarter. The sequential 
increase in cash was mainly driven by our June issuance of $400 million and senior notes due in 2030. We plan 
to use the proceeds along with borrowings under our revolver to redeem the $600 million of senior notes that are 
due in June of 2026.
Looking ahead to our outlook for the year and building on Kevin's opening remarks, last quarter, we noted that, 
before any global trade policy changes, we expected a modest revenue decline in fiscal 2026 as we focused on 
strengthening the brand and increasing higher quality sales.
Since then, changing trade policies have created additional headwinds, including on the demand side, making it 
more difficult to predict the future environment, but also highlighting the importance of our disciplined Brand First 
strategy.
Considering our expected fiscal 2026 cost of goods sold headwind of approximately $100 million, or about 200 
basis points of negative gross margin impact, we are actively pursuing mitigation strategies such as cost sharing 
with suppliers and partners, exploring alternative sourcing options and making selective pricing adjustments. 
However, due to the complexity and lead times involved, we anticipate most of the gross margin offsets to be 
realized in fiscal 2027 and beyond.
Amid these headwinds, we're also maintaining cost discipline in SG&A, reducing discretionary spending and 
continue to expect to leverage against revenue as we stated on our last call. That said, we are working to protect 
the brand and preserve strategic investments that are critical to unlocking long-term value.
Given the new tariff cost this year and related demand impacts, partially offset by our mitigation actions, we 
expect operating income on an adjusted basis be roughly half of fiscal 2025 levels. Additionally, we also expect 
fiscal 2026 EPS to be pressured by higher other expense, primarily interest expense from increased debt and an

adjusted effective tax rate more than double fiscal 2025, driven primarily by unfavorable regional mix and 
profitability.
Now, turning to our outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect revenue will decline 6% to 7% yearover-year, which we believe will be our toughest quarterly top line result of this year.
In North America, we anticipate a low double-digit decline due primarily to continued weakness in our wholesale 
business. APAC is expected to be down at a low-teen rate as we continue to navigate soft consumer sentiment 
and a highly promotional environment. That said, in both of these regions, we're staying focused on improving 
sales quality and creating a healthier, more premium marketplace.
On the upside, we expect EMEA to deliver high single-digit revenue growth, strong performance across both 
wholesale and DTC channels.
Regarding gross margin, we expect a decline of 340 to 360 basis points compared to last year, driven by 
approximately 300 basis points of declines from higher product costs, of which about two-thirds relates to new 
tariff costs and approximately 100 basis points of decline from channel mix. We expect these decreases will be 
partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency and pricing benefits.
Excluding transformation expenses from our fiscal 2025 restructuring plan, second quarter adjusted SG&A is 
projected to grow at a high single-digit rate year-over-year. Recall that last year's second quarter was not adjusted 
for a $27 million insurance recovery benefit tied to prior year legal fees.
Excluding the insurance recovery, adjusted SG&A is expected to grow at a low single-digit rate, driven primarily 
by higher marketing investments as we lap a timing shift that pushed most of last year's spend into the second 
half of the year.
Bringing this together, we expect adjusted operating income for the quarter of $30 million to $40 million. 
Incorporating the previously mentioned other expense and tax headwinds, we anticipate adjusted diluted earnings 
per share will range from $0.01 to $0.02 for the second quarter.
So, to close, while the environment remains dynamic, we're staying focused with financial discipline, confidence 
and a clear sense of direction. We are shaping Under Armour into a brand that stands apart, where sports, 
performance and style converge in a way only we can deliver. This transformation will take time and requires 
patience as we take the deliberate steps needed to get it right. Our team is making bolder decisions, streamlining 
operations and moving with greater speed and precision.
In the near-term, we'll remain agile and disciplined through this building phase. Over time, these actions will 
deliver what matters most: stronger results, deeper consumer loyalty and a brand that's more resilient, more 
distinctive, and positioned for lasting success.
Now, we'll open the call to questions. Operator?

QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTION
Operator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And today's first question comes from Jay Sole with UBS. Please 
proceed.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Jay Sole
Analyst, UBS Securities LLC Q
Great. Thank you so much. Kevin, two part question. First, can you just talk a little bit about how tariffs are 
impacting demand from your wholesale channel partners and kind of what you've seen and what those 
conversations have been like?
And then secondly, maybe on North America, you mentioned in the prepared remarks that brands been inflecting 
maybe before the business, but can you maybe dive in a little bit more and share with us some of the green 
shoots you're seeing of improving brand health? Thank you so much.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Kevin A. Plank
President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah, thanks, Jay. First of all, I think the tariff environment isn't ideal for anyone. And I think it inadvertently hits 
our industry probably harder than – everybody's affected at some level, but it really hits our industry differently.
But I got to tell you, I'm not sure that what we'd be doing for tariffs would be any different than what we've already 
started underway. And I think, I did a good job of laying that out. The two- part approach that we have, the two 
levers strategy we have attacking tariffs, which is number one – it's – we don't like the environment. We don't like 
where the math is, we don't like how we're sitting. And I think, it's important that I say that.
But what we're doing about it is some of the things we've been trying to in an industry with an 18-month go-tomarket cycle. And for myself being back in this chair for 16 months, we have plenty good things happening before 
I got back in the chair. But I think, what we've really rallied ourselves around is focusing on key items that the 
consumer can look at and understand it's a product that only UA could make and it's special.
I think that we've been able to put that proof in the pudding when it comes to things like that StealthForm Cap at a 
$45 price point and vetting from what has been a $25 price point in our industry that usually is out the door closer 
to $13 or $14 for most brands. So, changing that price point, doing the same thing with the go-to-market strategy 
we laid out with the No Weigh Backpack in a $40 to $65 market introducing a $140.
And so that first lever is that we're going to keep creating shiny new things that the consumer looks at, covets and 
must have.
Secondly, it's really the attack that we're taking across our broader portfolio. It's beginning with the top 10s in 
apparel and footwear and accessories. This has been underway, as I use the example of the Tech T product we 
have. But to be honest with you, we haven't. And this Under Armour owns this. We hadn't updated that product in 
too long and we watched our average selling price continue to migrate further and further from the suggested 
retail price.
And so that discounting is something that we've been actively addressing and that we have a relaunch planned 
for that product where we're not only just going to reinvent the product, but it gives us the ability to move that price

point up. We've talked about pricing power before and our ability to sort of broadly add that to our overall 
ecosystem.
We're cautious with that of where we are right now, but we believe that this process, as we've been through this 
reinvention, is something that'll give us the ability come back to the consumer with an embedded consumer who 
knows the product, is looking, expecting something, delighting them and giving them more, and the ability to push 
that price point much closer to the full retail price.
So, I think, that lever is very solid. And I think this is very related. So, thank you for the question, Jay. But where 
you asked about the brand inflecting before the business does. Let me give you three aspects of how I think about 
that.
First of all, factual, in being out and saying our baselayer is trending. This campaign we have here in North 
America and our European team is doing a great job talking about our foundation of baselayer compression, et 
cetera. But here in North America, we'll be launching this UA's football campaign coming up in September.
And I think the product that we're marketing is on point. The product and what we're seeing is actually checking 
really well. I'm talking double-digit types of sell-throughs that we're seeing in our compression baselayer, which 
has a halo effect for the overall brand of sort of bringing compression back into top of mind, which is a category 
that UA owns.
There's also – and that's hard facts. There's also our NPS score that I mentioned about things like our e-comm 
site of going from 53% to 70%. That's best-in-class type of points that we have there. We've also seen brand 
metrics rising, especially with our 18-year to 34-year old demographics growing low-double-digits to mid-singledigits as well with brand perception. And then, adding and being able to get into things like the SMS program I 
think is really helpful.
Secondly, let me just point us to retailer confidence. I've been out, I've been talking to our customers, reigniting 
those relationships that we have with them. I have to say, I believe there's belief from our customers that we're 
talking to. And that's because in some of the channel checks and you're unfortunately not seeing that come 
through immediately with the math. But we're seeing positive comps out there with some of our biggest and best 
retailers when it comes to men's and women's apparel, specifically.
In order to get that shelf space back, it's exactly where we need to be. And those are the conversations we're 
engaged in right now. Those are just six month and nine-month conversations typically, but they're believing and I 
think it's happening now.
Thirdly, I'll say, just as subjective. You're right, Jay, I have been doing this for a long time, close to 30 years and 
20 years as a public company. But something's just different. As I said, our phone is ringing. You can feel it. This 
kid is not sort of turning their back to UA. I think they're turning into the brand and we're really seeing something 
which feels like just positive momentum. And it's a sentiment that's here in our building every day. It's a sentiment 
– again feeling from some of our partners.
And it's not perfect out there for sure. And we have a number of things to work with and tariffs is certainly on that 
list. But I think we put our head down what we're doing right now, and we just continue to make small steps, small 
bites of the elephant. We're moving in the right direction.

And I'll end that with just I can confidently tell you that today as we sit, from what I knew, taken – taking this job 16 
months ago to just even a year ago, we're better than we were a year ago. We're better than we were six months 
ago. And I have great confidence, all the confidence that we'll be better six months from today. So, this projection, 
it feels like the trajectory is going in the right way.

Operator: All right. Thank you. The next question comes from Peter McGoldrick with Stifel. Please proceed.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Peter McGoldrick
Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q
Hey, thanks for taking my question. Dave, a question for you. As we think about the SKU clean up and pullback 
on promotion and pricing, can you help us think about within the 2Q revenue guide in terms of AUR and units, 
how should we be expecting this to develop moving forward?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah. I would say, Q2, as we mentioned, is probably going to be our toughest quarter as we think through the 
year as we're making a lot of progress relative to product. And hopefully we'll see some of that coming through 
when we get forward towards Q4. But in Q2, I think, North America is going to be a tougher decline for us. We 
talked about low-double-digit there, we're still seeing the impact of the trailing spring summer 2025 order book 
challenges that we spoke to before, also some traffic challenges within retail. So, we're doing our best to navigate 
through that.
As we think about promotions and discounting, we made a lot of improvements and progress last year and we 
talked about that a lot. We saw that come through to gross profit last year. We intended to make more progress 
on that this year. I think with the tariff environment and how that's impacting demand in the overall market, it's 
going to be tougher to make more progress this year. But I think we do have that increased discipline, so we're 
going to make sure that we're sharper in how we do that and we don't want to go backwards for sure.

So, it is going to be tough as we navigate and some of that is what's assumed in our Q2, which is, knowing that 
it's going to be a promotional environment, knowing that we don't want to play in it as much and we don't want to 
take steps backwards. So that does pressure revenue a little bit in our Q2 outlook. But then also, the pressure 
that we're seeing in APAC. So those are really the puts and takes there. And then obviously we spoke a lot about 
the EMEA progress and the continued momentum there, which is great to see.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Peter McGoldrick
Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q
Thanks for that context. And then I'm curious on marketing investment direction, as you work to engage the 16-
year to 34-year old team sports athlete, is there anything you can point to, to substantiate improved consideration 
with this younger demographic?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Kevin A. Plank
President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah. Peter, I think as I just covered with Jay's Q as well, we're seeing brand perception is up in the mid-singledigits. The 18-year to 34-year, the brand awareness is moving up. And so we're seeing these – we're seeing 
actual measurements moving in the right direction.
But I have to say, the subjective is probably something that weighs in even more. It's sort of the energy, 
excitement, some of the things that we're seeing in our own e-commerce site, how people are acting and 
engaging the products that are selling, it's products that people would typically be using other brands for. We're 
starting to see some of that push and that moves from on field cleated products all the way to some of the more 
sportswear styles that we've been launching.
Of late, we have products like the Apparition Tech and, the new SOLA that we just launched, which I don't think 
the consumer would see themselves purchasing that from us before that they're giving Under Armour permission 
or sales commissioned to buy our brand, at this time. So, I think, we feel pretty positive about where it's moving. 
And it's also the athletes that are signing with us and, the partnership with Gunna's and again, looking for 
influencers that can give, we keep saying give that kid permission. Thank you.

All right, good, good. So, I have a handful things. One, Kevin, you seem to be much more circumspect now than 
you were in 2000 – prior to 2019. I would love some color there. Number two, can you also bridge sort of how you 
see this brand improvement sort of start to show up? Number three, tax rate. And then number four, can you talk

anything about order book for holiday or even into spring 2026? Now, if you're seeing any – what you're starting to 
see there versus you're only really guiding the quarter. You said it's going to take a little bit – it's going to take 
longer now because of the tariffs and so on. But can you give us some color looking out a little further as well?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Kevin A. Plank
President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah, I'll start, Sam, and I'll let Dave handle tax rate. But let me just give you, I think how I'm thinking about the 
business, which is, I've been doing this a long time and have the ability to come back and hopefully apply all the 
benefit of that experience with a bit of wisdom, a lot of humility and real understanding and empathy for our 
consumer, for our team, and what it means to be in this business. So, it's a privilege, and I approach it like that 
every day.
One of the phrases we use here is model the behavior, which means it does mean showing up for a 6:30 AM Tae 
Bo class or 06:00 AM boxing class, being with our team, being here every day and just seeing and building this in 
a much better – bigger and better, more effective way.
I'm really proud of the team that's been assembled here. I think, it's clear, we're substantially built as we look at 
right now and now it's just a matter of execution. So, bringing that confidence from, bringing a brand partner like 
Eric Liedtke to the organization and many of the other additions and hires that we've made, we painstakingly have 
been building out the product infrastructure of the company. Now it's moving into the marketing function. Now that 
we have the three legs of the operating model, the go-to-market and the strategic business plan clearly 
articulated, it's a matter of execution.
So, as I said, it's an 18-month process in our industry, but we'll continue to execute there. So hopefully what you 
feel is a bit of much calmer and clearer confidence in where the business is heading. And that's why I gave that 
reflection of thinking where we're going. The brand improvement it feels, we have metrics, as I've stated, some of 
the NPS scores and other things we're seeing as it relates to brand awareness and perception with the company.
But you're just seeing it from these kids, I've got to tell you, is that it's different, something's different. And that's 
where I get to apply the experience I've had doing this to just what you see. And I think almost as importantly is 
what you feel in your gut. It feels like we're moving in the right direction.
Let me just touch on order book and I'll let Dave touch that as well. We're out now in the move for our fiscal year, 
moving to the end of March, it extends things, but we're seeing a little bit of a greater impact as it relates to tariffs 
to the full fiscal year. And that's something that's had a bit of a factor as we're looking at some of our orders, we're 
trying to work all this through to the bottom line. We've seen some – we've seen energy and momentum, 
especially with some of our sportswear products that we're bringing in.
And again, the buyers and the retailers committing to things that we've won with before, our compression 
baselayer, anything performance in on field we've got the innovation pipeline is really full right now and there's a 
lot of energy from our customers with that. And I think, we've laid out, I mean, just in footwear alone, I think we've 
had seven or eight launches over a 12-week span from our SlipSpeed ECHO to sportswear SOLA, the HALO 
collections.
How they're selling in right now? There's a bit of wait and see. And by wait and see I mean people are bringing 
them in, but they're testing. And so, we're making bets where we think that we're going to win. We're going to 
make sure that we're in an inventory positive position to be able to service that demand. But there's nothing wrong 
with a little bit of scarcity, too. So, our order books, I'm going to let Dave give a little more color there.

David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah, I mean I think that, obviously when we're giving real detail here on Q2, but we are excited about the 
reactions and the feedback we're seeing on the product. And I think that, as we think forward, we get to the tail 
end of fall, winter 2025, but then more so when we get into spring summer 2026, which is more Q4, we think that 
there'll be the most strength there. And that's what we're kind of excited about as far as how we're talking with the 
accounts and how they're receiving the product, what they're seeing from our kind of newly developed product 
team and some of the partners we're working with.
So that's kind of what we're looking at, at this point, but we're not at a point yet to give a lot more detail than that. I 
would say from a tax rate perspective, there is a lot going on within taxes. And I think maybe if I try and simplify it 
as much as possible, at a high level, we're paying taxes and we're incurring tax expense in the foreign 
jurisdictions where we're making income there, which – that makes sense.
But when you think about the additional tariff costs, etcetera, that we have this year, we actually won't make 
money in the US this year. So that expected losses there, but we can't actually take the benefit of those US 
losses from a tax perspective because they're actually being absorbed by US GILTI tax regulations, which 
basically require us to use our domestic losses to offset foreign earnings first.
So it's a little bit of a double negative there that we're dealing with, but it all kind of is attributed to the lower 
profitability this year that we will grow out of as we move forward beyond this year.

Sam Poser
Analyst, Williams Trading LLC Q
Okay, thanks. And just one last thing, I heard through the grapevine that you guys – your – are you looking at 
different channels? Are you getting good response with different channels of distribution? And you've cited that 
one rapper Gunna. I heard there might be some other more prominent rapper on the horizon. Can you give us 
any color there?

Kevin A. Plank
President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah, we've got a lot of things in flight right now, Sam, so that's the good news. As I said, our phone is ringing, so 
I want to make sure as well, that when we're sort of trying to articulate, like where the brand is or where we sit, I 
tend to come with a North American band, but the momentum that we've seen in EMEA of sort of where Under 
Armour's position there, I think we're probably the top brand in France. And we've really built a great foundation in 
the UK as well through our European strategy.
But the brand is just working and that's what gives us probably even greater confidence that the play we're 
running here now is what EMEA was running four, five years ago. And so there's great things on the horizon to 
come for us. So we just got to head down, just keep chopping wood. But the team feels that there's a great 
confidence here. Thank you.

Operator: The next question is from Brian Nagel with Oppenheimer. Please proceed.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Brian Nagel
Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. Q
Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my question. So, Kevin, the question I want to ask and I guess bigger 
picture, but you're clearly – you're executing this repositioning against a very fluid macro competitive backdrop. 
But as you and the team have been pushing this forward, dealing with some of these challenges, are there any 
key course corrections that you've made so far? And you start to see results from those?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Kevin A. Plank
President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A
I'd start with Brian is that I think that overall theme, if you ask me to sum it up, which is selling so much more, so 
much less at a much higher full retail price, it's our commitment to doing that in the – with the right partners is that 
we're not trying to eat the whole elephant at once. We are taking this in bites.
We are dealing with in a dynamic and fluid environment, as you said. But we've been doing this anyway, whether 
it's tariffs or whatever else is happening, I think this is frankly the right component. As we've looked at other 
turnarounds, what people have done in strategic transformations, there's nothing else to do but just slow down, 
focus on your core, do it better. As I said, we're in the SKU reduction, our materials reduction, and just getting 
people – getting that – making the toolkit smaller. So there's not as many questions as to how we're trying to build 
this next chapter for us.
So, we're focused on the controllables doing all the right things that we can. But, it's not magic. And I say that not 
as – let me – I'm asking you to wait years upon years. But I think again, month 16 of an 18 month industry go-tomarket process, I think it's we're not that far away.
We've got work to do, but you'll start seeing it where the math will start to back up what we're doing, we can't point 
to it today and it's not prudent for us to do. We just again have our head down and just marching forward.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Brian Nagel
Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. Q
That's helpful. And then, I just had a follow up question to that for me is, you talked a lot about today that you're 
really focusing on the brand and reestablishing the brand, is the operational structure of Under Armour correct 
right now, or should we expect some additional operational changes as well?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Kevin A. Plank
President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A
No, that's what's been put in place. As I said, in February, we implemented our operating model, which is 
category management, followed by showing you what the go-to-market is and a very sort of commercial version of 
what that go-to-market looks like utilizing that No Weigh Backpack, which Elite product is number one, clear
storytelling to be able to communicate that to the sales force and how they can sell that into accounts, making 
sure that the [ph] PoP (00:54:13) is correct and the way we sell it through.
And then finally, the execution of how we're brand building around it, which I think everybody continues to ask 
about is that, is the willingness from the consumer to be there. And that's what we're finding in some of these 
premium price points products that we're putting out there really seem to be working for us.

The strategy wise, for us, it's just about, again, I think execution is probably the topic of the day for us to lean on 
to get after. And then finally it's the [indiscernible] (00:55:00) business plan. Those three legs are in place. The 
foundation is there. It's a matter of us just running that through the model right now.
So the GMs are really excited about, we got – we have four great leaders here that are running our business and 
they're reporting into Eric and if someone with experience, you've seen it before with a lot of Under Armour, UA 
integral knowledge combined with expertise from the outside. So we're doing this ourselves, meaning it's just 
industry experience that's driving this for us.

Paul Lejuez
Analyst, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Q
Hey, thanks, guys. Wanted to understand the second quarter North America sales decline a little bit better and 
how we got to that down low double-digits. We've got always what the order book looked like. Do you see some 
cancellations? If so, are you seeing more on the apparel side or footwear? And also, curious of any other 
cancellations, if you did see them, what's tied to price increases that you tried to take at the retailer to sort of pull 
back from? Thanks.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah. Paul, this is Dave. I'd say a couple things there. We did speak before about the harder spring, summer 
2025 order book that we've been dealing with. And that's definitely out there on the factory house side, and on the 
– also brand house side, we've seen traffic definitely trail off and we think a lot of that it's been tied to the timing of 
the developments in tariff environment and some of the uncertainty that's out there in the market.
And then from an eCommerce perspective, it's been pretty promotional and we're trying not to play into that as 
much as we took so many good steps forward last year. So there's a lot of different pieces to that I would say that 
that's coming into play and that's something that we're continuing to kind of navigate and we want to stay true to 
the strategy. We don't want to divert from that. We understand that creates some extra pressure as we step 
through Q2. But we're going to navigate through that.
And I think, when you look at the product breakdown, there are more headwinds in footwear than in apparel. We 
saw that in Q1 and we expect that will continue in Q2. Again, as we go further into the back half of the year, we 
see that starting to turn the other way as we get more of the new product out there and there's lot of new 
excitement around that product. So we think that that should be more of a temporary situation as far as the lag on 
footwear more than apparel.

Paul Lejuez
Analyst, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Q
Got it. And then just with the elevation strategy, have you already started to take prices up on like-for-like items? 
And what has been your wholesale partner response to that?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A
So I'd say a couple things there. We have worked through some specific and targeted price increases. More of 
that's going to be around some of our new product launches or relaunches. And then as we think about further 
down the road and this is where we talked about more of it being a benefit in fiscal 2027 is where we might be 
able to drive through some more holistic price increases, more from a brand perspective on price levels as we see 
a lot of our competitors in the space moving into that as well. But we believe there will be an opportunity to do 
that.
Again, that's not something that we can move through as quickly as far as how it could benefit fiscal 2026. So 
there'll be some benefits in fiscal 2026 that are more targeted and specific. And I think the accounts are okay with
that. As we step into fiscal 2027, there will be some broader benefits from the pricing changes and based on what 
we're seeing in the market from other brands, we're believing that that's going to be fairly accepted.

Brooke Roach
Analyst, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC Q
Good morning and thank you for taking our question. Kevin, as you think about the execution of the North 
America transformation, has anything changed in this current macro backdrop that shakes your confidence in 
your ability to deliver that on a medium-term basis?
And then for Dave, can you just parse the comments on the DTC a little bit more in North America? Specifically, 
what actions do you have in place that can help move the needle with your customers in both eComm and brickand-mortar post moving through some of this pressure you're seeing in the second quarter? Thank you.

Yeah. Thanks, Brooke. I think that we're relatively confident with what we're seeing. And that means, again, some 
of the outlook in near term. And I think that confidence is some is reflecting through to our retailers and some of 
the performance you're seeing. So the softer traffic trend is certainly affecting across all channels for us, 
especially here in North America.
But there's clearly – again, as I stated earlier, there's clearly momentum that we're seeing with some of our 
products. It's particularly around our core with Baselayer, the things that we're pushing out there.
You've got these one off sort of glimpses of light that we're seeing in some of the new sportswear offerings. But 
that's a new trade for the consumer. They haven't yet really expected and seen us there. So we're coming out and 
launching things like the new SOLA collection HALO, the new Apparition Tech, which is something in an urban 
environment, is doing really well for us in some of our more targeted city stores that we have.
But we're also showing them things like the collaboration we did with the car manufacturer Mansory in Global 
Football. And I think you're starting to see just aspects of the brand that people haven't seen before. And it's 
showing up in a new way, in a new place.
That underpinned by our core getting stronger is something that we think is the halo that should help us. And so 
while we're not ready to give that in terms of outlook of how that will inflect on the business immediately, we're 
doing well with the business. I think that's where we continue to do what we said we're going to do and just 
marching forward.
And I want to say that with more confidence than fingers crossed. There's real context from what we're seeing in 
some of the NPS scores and some of the other indicators that we have around awareness and perception for the 
brand. So you're feeling it and we're starting to see that in the sell through. So one place and one space at a time, 
one foot in front of the other is how we're marching to North America.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A
And Brooke, I think when you think about the DTC front, the two big pieces are really factory house and eComm 
for us. Brand house is pretty small, as you know. And the bigger pressure that we're seeing is really going to be 
more on the eComm side. And that has to do with the level of promotions in the market right now.
And we'll have to play in that to a degree, but we're really trying to hold the line and not really lose the ground and 
the improvements that we drove through strategically last year and that is creating some of that extra pressure on 
eComm.
I think some of the additional marketing efforts that are coming through and some of the campaigns that Kevin 
mentioned are going to help us better in the back half of year relative to eComm. But Q2 is still going to be pretty 
tough there.
On factory house, we've seen the decreased traffic and that's been really retail in total for us, brand house and 
factory house. We've been combating that with some of the assortments that we have. We've been adding some 
of our full price product to draw consumers in a little bit more as well, just because there's not as many access 
points for them to get to the brands, since we don't have many brand house stores. And so we've been able to 
actually combat a good bit of that through better conversion. So the factory house impact on Q2 is less really than 
the eComm impact, but we're going to keep driving against that improving as we go through the back half of the 
year.

Operator: And today's last question will be from Laurent Vasilescu with BNP Paribas. Please proceed.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Laurent Vasilescu
Analyst, BNP Paribas Exane Q
Good morning, Kevin. Dave, thanks for all the color this morning. I know, Kevin, you talked about lowered 
expectation in FY 2026, largely driven by tariffs and North American demand. And I know you're not prepared to 
guide for 2H revenues. Should we assume North America's Q2 guide of down low double-digit continues into 2H 
or should we see further pressure on consumers in North America as they start to see a broad-based inflation 
across the marketplace?
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A
Yeah. I think that there could be a little bit of that and we've built that into our expectations internally. But again, I 
think that with a lot of the relationships that Kevin and the sales teams have been driving, a lot of the new product 
that's being shown and the excitement around that new product, we feel that we're going to be able to kind of 
drive against that as best we can.
So I don't know that you should expect a bigger deterioration in North America in the back half. If anything, as we 
get further into Q4, we would expect a little bit of improvement there, mainly driven by product and some of the 
impacts of the improved and prioritized marketing that we're doing.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Laurent Vasilescu
Analyst, BNP Paribas Exane Q
Very helpful and it's good to hear about the NPS scores. I wanted to ask as a second question. Gross margin 
guide for 2Q, the down 340 to 360 basis points. Can you unpack that a little bit more for the audience, like how 
much is tariffs, what's embedded in that? I think that's one of the two drivers of the pressure and should we 
assume that kind of pressure rate overall on gross margins for the second half to get to that commentary around 
profitability being half of what it was last year? Thank you very much.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
David Eric Bergman
Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A
Sure. When you think about the biggest driver is definitely the supply chain headwinds and that's probably in the 
neighborhood of 300-ish basis points, 200 basis points of that or two-thirds of that we mentioned is really the 
direct tariff cost impacts. And then there's some other pieces of product costing, inventory returns and things like 
that that comes into play there.
Then there's smaller impacts relative to channel mix. We are doing or expecting a little bit higher liquidation this 
year than last year with third parties, still staying within that 3% to 4% operating mix. But definitely maybe on the

higher end where we used to be on the lower end of that. So that's a little bit of a headwind as we think about the 
quarter.
And then on the positive side, we do see FX benefits and then we also see some favorable pricing changes that 
we would be starting to drive through. And some of that is even on the liquidation itself, even though the channel 
might be a little bit higher. We actually think with the product we have, we'll be able to get a little bit better pricing. 
Those are really smaller impacts. I would say, the big one is obviously the tariff costs.
And then as we think about, full year, that 200 basis point comment really is the full year comment as well. And 
when we look at other puts and takes outside of that, there isn't a lot going on. When you think about regions, 
there could be a small headwind there just because APAC and North America declines and they're higher gross 
margin regions for us.
But then on the flip side, with footwear growing or footwear challenged a little bit more than apparel, that mix 
actually helps gross margin a little bit. So there's some smaller puts and takes there. But in general, the big factor 
is the year-over-year 200-basis-point hit on the tariff costs that we're estimating currently.

With that, I'll turn the call over to Kevin. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. Thanks, Lance, and thank you all for joining us this morning. With the first quarter complete, this is an important moment to evaluate our position and importantly, our direction. We're undertaking a bold reinvention and rebuilding with purpose to become a sharper, more focused brand, one that blends sports, style and innovation with financial discipline and edge. This isn't about fixing the past. It's about unlocking our full potential. Under Armour started as a product in 1996, became a brand over the following two decades, and quite frankly, have spent the last eight years operating more like a company than a brand. 16 months back into the CEO role, my hands are firmly on the wheel. We're in the process of flipping that script where every decision we make is focused through a Brand First lens. This, in no way, means retreating on operational discipline. In fact, it means being a better company with a rigor and process, capital allocation, and execution. But, simply requiring that every decision we do make contemplates, is this the best decision for our brand because, if it's the best decision for the brand, then it's the best decision to create long-term shareholder value. World-class financials don't build world-class brands. It's actually the other way around. The only way we win is by creating a brand people can't ignore. Our current numbers don't yet tell the whole story, but the signs are there. Brand health is starting to gain traction. Cultural relevance is returning and our phone is ringing from talent that wants to join us. EMEA is outperforming. North America, APAC are on a path towards better stability and team sports are heating up, while digital engagement is increasing. We're stronger than we were six months ago and will be even stronger six months from now. This transformation isn't easy and requires a lot of patience more than any of us would like, but we're taking the right steps to build deeper, lasting connections with consumers and focused on creating mid- and long-term shareholder value. The good news, we're not starting from scratch. We have the essentials with presence in nearly 150 countries, 2,000 mono branded stores, 15,000 teammates, a new headquarters and almost 30 years of sports credibility. Our strength is authenticity, which I don't believe we've fully embraced, and that's now changing. And, yes, the environment is challenging limited spending, higher promotions and a dynamic domestic tariff policy. Independent of that, our mission is clear. Stop the decline and rebuild stronger. I understand what's at stake and intend to apply a lifetime of brand-building experience, 20 years of it with the same public company and creating our best work driving this transformation. At the heart of this are bold front two shifts, deliberate moves that redefine our brand identity and reshape our operations. Let me walk you through how we're turning that vision into reality. Over the past year, we've achieved significant progress in realigning our product engine, simplifying operations and positioning Under Armour to better serve athletes, customers and shareholders in the long run. We've faced some tough truths. Our assortment had been too broad, our material library is too complicated, and our design language lacked clarity. So we're simplifying, we're consolidating, we're editing and we're laying the foundation for sharper execution and better pricing.
    • 4. Under Armour, Inc. (UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 4 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC Cutting down the product range and materials is already making us faster, leaner and more focused. We're on track to meet our initial goal of reducing SKUs by 25%. We're discovering more ways to streamline. This focus sharpens execution and strengthens our product lineup. We've already cut our materials by 30% for our 2025 products and plan to reduce it further in 2026, lowering costs, improving sourcing, and supporting more sustainable, innovation-driven design. In effect, as our old saying goes, we plan to spend much more time writing a much shorter letter. We've certainly made progress and now aim to push even harder, especially with underperforming and low margin products, leading with math, like any basic 80/20 rule, but ensuring that we're also brand-informed as we make decisions. In March, we introduced a new category management operating model and go-to-market process. Both are now active and continuously being refined. Along the way, we've combined experienced UA talent, with fresh leadership to inject energy and expertise where it counts most. Just last week, Eric Liedtke and I guided our corporate team through our five-year strategic roadmap, effectively the final and third leg of the Brand Foundation to complement our operating model that rolled out in February and the go-to-market we described during our last call using the No Weigh Backpack as our example. These three brand foundational pillars are essential to any transformation and what I'm most excited about from a progress standpoint since April of 2024. A key component of any strong culture is ensuring that every teammate knows exactly what's expected of them and what the definition of success is. This structure is now in place. Our team is aligned. We're set up to run. The fight to simplify the broader strategic goal for the organization into one statement of what we aim to achieve, it is selling so much more of so much less at a much higher full retail price. That means tighter assortments, more key item safety stock, netting better order fulfillment, straightforward storytelling of intentional personified products that we make famous like our HeatGear Baselayer, realizing the full retail value for our product all the way out the door. It's what's essential for us to make this brand transformation happen. This is underway, and we're driving through two key levers. First, we'll continue to watch pinnacle-defining products like our HeatGear OG Compression [ph] mask (00:07:40), the Velociti Elite 3 Running Shoe, the Magnetico football boot, and Halo Collection, along with accessories such as the StealthForm hat and the No Weigh Backpack, products that only you UA could make, informed from our unique brand intersection of sports authenticity, cultural style, and distinct innovation, all with higher ASPs that we're inviting the market to stretch to and they're gaining real traction. Secondly, we're working to apply those lessons of premiumizing our brand to our top 10 volume drivers across apparel, footwear and accessories. We're systematically redesigning our top 10 volume items for better performance, bolder designs, leading to better and more full average selling price revenue. We're elevating the reason to buy UA, updated industry-leading innovative products with richer storytelling and brand confidence for our consumers. These top 10 styles represent tens of millions of units that, once driving higher average selling prices, will fall straight to our bottom line.
    • 5. Under Armour, Inc. (UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 5 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC This two-lever strategy also has the benefit of being the same play we are and would run to help mitigate tariff impacts. While we cannot affect holistically in the short-term, we should see this benefit coming to our P&L in coming seasons. Pulling this example all the way through, where prior to April 2, we'd already been planning to improve product quality for our consumers with an item like our $25 Tech tee, moving that to a higher price point, justified by enhancing fabric material, design and story. Now, we're considering pushing our price point a bit further to an embedded consumer who we do have pricing power with. Effectively, we're running a very similar play to elevate the brand that we're now incorporating to mitigate tariffs. We're not, however, walking away from value-driven consumers. Sports gives us room to compete at every level: good, better and best. We're expanding our top tiers while keeping the right products at entry price points, but moving those price points and the products' quality themselves up. That balance is what built Under Armour and it's how we'll continue to succeed by creating performance gear that is desired by consumers regardless of the price point. We're also changing how we connect with athletes, a realignment of our presence and who we serve. We're shifting from a gym-first approach to a focus on team sports, emphasizing both American and global football, basketball, baseball and volleyball. It's a deliberate move back to performance, bringing new energy and relevance to today's game. At the same time, we're expanding beyond our Gen X Foundation to connect with Gen Z and Alpha, purposedriven athletes who value transparency, authenticity and daily relevance. We're also shifting from primarily a professional athlete-only model to an influencer-led network, broadening our athlete roster to include high school stars, college athletes, creators and their communities. Through NIL partnerships, grassroots efforts and authentic storytelling, we're building momentum from the ground up, and the energy will continue to grow. This transformation cuts across every category. We're expanding beyond just the locker room, building real sports for our credibility, while continuing to deliver high performance gear for athletes both on and off the field. We're also working to close the gap we let sit for too long, the needs of women. Yes, we built a $1 billion plus women's business, but its share of our total hasn't increased. That's on us and we're addressing it. We're integrating a women-centered approach directly into our category management model, led by longtime UA veteran, Jeannette Robertson. It's a structural change and we're working hard to get it right, not only in product, but also in how we design market and bring her into our brand. Next, let's talk about footwear. We know it's not where it should be. For too long, we lacked focus and consistency in a category that defines our industry. We pursued too many ideas, adopted franchise architecture late and missed opportunities in innovation, design and storytelling that athletes expect from Under Armour. But two years ago, we reset our footwear business under the leadership of industry veteran Yassine Saidi. We made a very intentional decision to take a step back, to move forward, streamlining the portfolio, eliminating underperforming lines, and rebuilding with a sharper, more focused foundation, deeply connected to the athlete in all aspects of how they live. Running footwear is a great example where we now have two very clear pinnacle vertical silos of product, Velociti and the recently launched HALO. We've made the decision to sunset our previous Infinite franchise, which we believe is a long-term brand right decision, but it's come at a price which you're seeing affect our near-term

These deliberate decisions, combined with softer demand, are weighing on our results and we own that. However, we believe this to be near-term and, over the mid- to long-term, we anticipate harnessing our Velociti and HALO Foundation to drive greater intention across our running category and a blueprint for the broader footwear business. Our immediate numbers reflect the transition, but believe that our long-term results will reflect the transformation. The goal is simple, sharper design, stronger storytelling, reliable performance on and off the field. Early signs are promising, and we're moving in the right direction. In running, the Velociti Elite 3 is delivering six major wins this year. American Records in the half and mile, and Sharon Lokedi's course record in Boston just this past year. This is exactly the kind of pinnacle moment we're building for, from the $250 Elite 3 with design continuity that stretches across six price points, all the way down to the $75 redesigned Assert, our largest volume program. Our running collection connects with runners at every level, boosting brand momentum, earning credibility with athletes, and turning that momentum into real commercial success. In American football, the spotlight Pro Suede sold out at launch; in baseball, our King of Diamonds and Juice Drops are driving momentum. In global football, Achraf Hakimi wears Magnetico Elite on the world's biggest stage and, in basketball, Flow continues to drive our iconic franchises. These wins are restoring our credibility and fueling performance growth with new sports style 120-plus-dollar franchises like SlipSpeed, ECHO and Apparition, along with fresh launches like Sola and HALO. We're confidently moving into the premium space. The goal isn't just to compete, but to lead with ASPs that reflect the strength of our brand and the quality of our products. From a channel perspective, we're shifting from transactional selling to a storage driven brand that consumers seek out and support. In the US, this involves replacing a long standing focus on discounts with premium athletecentered narratives brought to life through elevated DTC experiences. These stories generate demand and improve full price sell-through while strengthening our loyalty memberships and driving wholesale interest. From an operational perspective, we're transforming how we work by moving from siloed functions to collaborative category-led teams driven by real time data and shared KPIs. This modern system is built for speed, scale and smarter decision making, utilizing AI to help us. We're also shifting seasonal drops to an ongoing cycle of brand-led storytelling, fostering emotional connections and lasting loyalty through culturally relevant moments and timely innovation. Additionally, AI is becoming more integrated across the business enhancing design, planning and forecasting. After two years of data and platform development, we have over 80 automations that are streamlining workflows, reducing time to market and improving execution from predictive pricing to real time inventory management. Next, let's talk about the regions, starting with North America, where we expect fiscal 2026 to see challenges from higher costs due to tariffs and you have softer demand, yet we see this as an inflection point, not a ceiling.

(UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 7 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC Despite the environment, we're executing a phased plan to rebuild brand loyalty, improve revenue quality and lay the groundwork for sustainable growth. In our largest market, we're regaining cultural relevance, beginning with American football and expanding into team sports, creators and culture collaborations that connect Under Armour to the core of the athlete and culture. Our priorities are clear, strengthen brand loyalty through top tier sports culture, emotionally compelling storytelling; stabilize the growth by increasing full price e-commerce; boosting factory house profitability and rebuilding wholesale partnerships; and shrink the battlefield by concentrating on key product franchises and optimized distribution to achieve more consistent wins, doing less things better. Amid this reset, we're seeing early signs of progress. In digital, we're recreating a more connected experience-driven platform. Although results are still modest, the momentum is evident. Spotlight Suede became our top full price footwear style, driven by organic TikTok Buzz, our SMS program, launched in June, has already gained over 100,000 subscribers, and our Instagram shop has been seeing strong growth since its relaunch this past month. Our e-commerce Net Promoter Score has increased by 18 points year-over-year to nearly 70, a strong signal that our customer experience is improving and our efforts are resonating. Traffic and sell-through still have room to grow, we're tackling that with faster site performance, richer storytelling and smarter merchandising. In our Factory House business, innovation is fueling sales growth, even with this value channel, we're seeing success testing new key items at full price, including our $45 StealthForm Hat and our HeatGear collection are both strong examples. Although traffic remains slower, improved execution is boosting conversion rates. Factory House continues to serve as a proving ground for mix experimentation, raising ASPs and protecting margin through smarter promotions and targeted merchandising. Wholesale remains our biggest North American growth opportunity. Reclaiming shelf space takes time, but we're approaching with discipline and optimism and our partners are listening. Leading with innovative products like HeatGear and a strong cleated footwear performance, we're re-engaging customers and building trust. Each season brings new opportunities, and we're laying the groundwork now for future success. In our storytelling, we're making one thing clear, Under Armour is back, we're beginning to see it in the numbers. Brand health is improving and our renewed narrative and full funnel media investments are connecting with the athletes we want to reach. Our renewed NFL partnership and signings like the number one draft pick, Cam Ward and Luther Burden III show our long-term commitment to performance. That momentum drives our We are Football campaign that we'll be debuting in early September, blending sports, music and culture with athletes, creators and stars like Justin Jefferson, recording artist Gunna and Top 7 on 7 talent. With the rapid rise of flag football, especially among youth and women, based on our gridiron credibility, we see a clear path to lead here. All in, cultural energy continues to grow. Justin Jefferson's UA NEXT Flight School content reached over 7 million views even before launching on YouTube. Spotlight Suede's TikTok Buzz demonstrates how our product and storytelling can create demand.

Excitement is also growing for this year's Curry Tour in China, which is a multi-day single city immersion that unites 30 of the top APAC basketball athletes for Curry Camp. It creates one-on-one moments for Steph and his training team, engages regional media and culminates in Curry Con, a fan-driven celebration where supporters from across APAC share memorabilia and connect deeply with Stephen, delivering a powerful brand and business opportunity through meaningful, high impact interaction. In EMEA, our strongest performing region, we're achieving profitable, brand driven growth through sharper execution, local relevance and financial discipline. We're not trying to be everywhere. We're focused on winning where it matters most, guided by a high return, one, two, three, four strategy. Let me explain. One sport, football, being on pitch with elite athletes like Achraf Hakimi, Toni Rüdiger, Pedro Porro, and so many more. It's how we're establishing brand authenticity in Europe. Through targeted marketing, credible athletes and franchise led storytelling, we're building trust from grassroots to the elite levels. Two cities, London and Paris, are driving our growth. Three countries, the UK, France and Spain. This brings us to four categories of focus, football, sportswear, training and running. Momentum is building and we're unlocking EMEA's full potential. And, importantly, we're applying the lessons from the success in North America and APAC. This strengthens our confidence in the path for greater stability and eventual return to growth in these markets. In Asia Pacific, we've emerged from a reset year stronger and more focused and positioned to advance with discipline, starting with the appointment of Simon Pestridge, a 25 year industry veteran to lead the region. With structural challenges addressed and key roadblocks removed, we're now building a premium, high integrity marketplace that reflects Under Armour's true brand strength. Our APAC strategy is clear, reignite relevance through local storytelling and innovation, drive full price growth, and elevate the marketplace through sharper distribution, disciplined pricing and premium partnerships. Combined with tighter inventory management these efforts will strengthen both retail and wholesale execution. That said, fiscal 2026 is about stabilizing APAC and building momentum for sustained growth. Now, before I finish, I want to address the incremental tariffs announced on July 31 and the increased pressures our business is facing this year. Following those updates, we estimate approximately $100 million in additional tariff related costs, along with softer-than-expected demand in fiscal 2026. When combined, even with mitigation efforts and disciplined SG&A management, our profitability is projected to be about half of what it was last year. None of this is ideal. We don't like this, but also it won't define our year as there's just too much good happening with the overall shape and energy of our business. We've faced bigger headwinds before and this is simply the next one we'll get through because, no matter the environment, our mission remains unchanged, to execute the strategy, strengthen our brand, increase average selling prices, and succeed with athletes. We're running our play and that's exactly what we're doing. With a world class team and a clear strategy aligned across the organization, we're advancing with clarity, agility and accountability. Even now, before this transformation is fully realized, Under Armour is a $5 billion brand. That's a testament to our enduring relevance, strength of the brand, and a clear signal of the massive potential ahead.

We're reclaiming it bold, original, and apologetically UA. I appreciate your attention and trust this morning. And with that, I'll turn it over to Dave to discuss first quarter fiscal 2026 results, and the outlook we have for Q2. Dave? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. Thanks, Kevin. Moving directly into our first quarter fiscal 2026 results, we're pleased to have delivered another quarter that met or slightly exceeded our outlook on every line item. First quarter revenue declined 4% to $1.1 billion, with regional results as follows. In North America, revenue declined 5%, primarily due to a decrease in our full-price wholesale business and lower e-commerce sales. Revenue in EMEA increased 10%, or 6% after adjusting for foreign currency fluctuations, indicating steady growth in the region. Furthermore, EMEA saw growth across all channels during the quarter, led by our full-price wholesale business. APAC revenue decreased 10% on both a reported and currency neutral basis, with declines in wholesale and DTC as consumer confidence remains weak amid a highly competitive and promotional [ph] market (00:24:25). And within Latin America, revenue declined 15%, partially due to foreign currency headwinds. On a currency neutral basis, revenue declined 8% for the quarter, with decreases in full-price wholesale and DTC, partially offset by growth in our distributor business. From a channel perspective, wholesale revenue declined 5% as lower full-price and distributor sales were partially offset by growth in our off-price channel, driven by timing of sales to third-party partners. Direct-to-consumer revenue declined 3%, including a 12% decline in e-commerce sales caused by highly competitive conditions in APAC and in North America. Sales at our owned and operated stores increased by 1% this quarter, led by our Factory House business. And licensing revenues increased 12%, with growth in both North American and international licensees. Finally, by product type, apparel revenue declined 1%, with softness in run, outdoor and golf, partially offset by strength in training and sportswear. Footwear revenue was down 14% in the quarter with declines across all categories. This reflects a challenging consumer demand environment and our deliberate work to optimize the business, as we prepare for stronger more impactful launches in the seasons ahead. Accessories grew 8% this quarter, driven by strength in training and sportswear, along with accelerated inventory management actions. Our first quarter gross margin increased by 70 basis points year-over-year to 48.2%. This growth was driven by 55 basis points of favorable foreign currency impacts, 30 basis points of pricing benefits, and 30 basis points of favorable product mix. These benefits were partially offset by 45 basis points of unfavorable channel mix and supply chain headwinds. Now, moving to SG&A expenses, which decreased 37% to $530 million in the first quarter as last year's first quarter included a considerable litigation reserve expense. Excluding approximately $8 million in the transformation expenses related to our fiscal 2025 restructuring plan, our first quarter adjusted SG&A expenses were $522 million, reflecting a 6% decline compared to last year's adjusted figure. The decrease was primarily driven by lower marketing and savings across various areas and resulting from our restructuring plan and ongoing cost management efforts.
    • 10. Under Armour, Inc. (UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 10 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC In the first quarter, we recorded $13 million of restructuring charges and $8 million in transformation related SG&A expenses, totaling approximately $21 million. Since launching our fiscal 2025 restructuring plan, we've recognized $110 million in charges and transformation expenses to-date, $65 million of which are cash related and $45 million in non-cash. We now expect total plan charges to finish towards the high end of our previously disclosed $140 million to $160 million range, with the remaining costs primarily tied to the planned closure of our Rialto distribution center, recognized by the end of fiscal 2026. As a result of these actions, we delivered approximately $35 million in savings in fiscal 2025, and expect approximately $45 million more in fiscal 2026. With the emergence of significant new tariff pressures, we are actively reviewing our cost structure to find additional efficiencies, always with a Brand First approach to ensure we can offset headwinds while reinvesting in this product, storytelling and experiences that drive our growth. Continuing through the P&L, we reported operating income of $3 million in the first quarter. Excluding transformation expenses and restructuring charges, our adjusted operating income was $24 million. Looking at the bottom line, our reported diluted loss per share was $0.01, while our adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.02 for the quarter. Now moving to the balance sheet, inventory at the end of Q1 was $1.1 billion, a 2% increase year-over-year. Our cash balance was $911 million and we did not utilize our revolving credit facility during the quarter. The sequential increase in cash was mainly driven by our June issuance of $400 million and senior notes due in 2030. We plan to use the proceeds along with borrowings under our revolver to redeem the $600 million of senior notes that are due in June of 2026. Looking ahead to our outlook for the year and building on Kevin's opening remarks, last quarter, we noted that, before any global trade policy changes, we expected a modest revenue decline in fiscal 2026 as we focused on strengthening the brand and increasing higher quality sales. Since then, changing trade policies have created additional headwinds, including on the demand side, making it more difficult to predict the future environment, but also highlighting the importance of our disciplined Brand First strategy. Considering our expected fiscal 2026 cost of goods sold headwind of approximately $100 million, or about 200 basis points of negative gross margin impact, we are actively pursuing mitigation strategies such as cost sharing with suppliers and partners, exploring alternative sourcing options and making selective pricing adjustments. However, due to the complexity and lead times involved, we anticipate most of the gross margin offsets to be realized in fiscal 2027 and beyond. Amid these headwinds, we're also maintaining cost discipline in SG&A, reducing discretionary spending and continue to expect to leverage against revenue as we stated on our last call. That said, we are working to protect the brand and preserve strategic investments that are critical to unlocking long-term value. Given the new tariff cost this year and related demand impacts, partially offset by our mitigation actions, we expect operating income on an adjusted basis be roughly half of fiscal 2025 levels. Additionally, we also expect fiscal 2026 EPS to be pressured by higher other expense, primarily interest expense from increased debt and an

Now, turning to our outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we expect revenue will decline 6% to 7% yearover-year, which we believe will be our toughest quarterly top line result of this year. In North America, we anticipate a low double-digit decline due primarily to continued weakness in our wholesale business. APAC is expected to be down at a low-teen rate as we continue to navigate soft consumer sentiment and a highly promotional environment. That said, in both of these regions, we're staying focused on improving sales quality and creating a healthier, more premium marketplace. On the upside, we expect EMEA to deliver high single-digit revenue growth, strong performance across both wholesale and DTC channels. Regarding gross margin, we expect a decline of 340 to 360 basis points compared to last year, driven by approximately 300 basis points of declines from higher product costs, of which about two-thirds relates to new tariff costs and approximately 100 basis points of decline from channel mix. We expect these decreases will be partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency and pricing benefits. Excluding transformation expenses from our fiscal 2025 restructuring plan, second quarter adjusted SG&A is projected to grow at a high single-digit rate year-over-year. Recall that last year's second quarter was not adjusted for a $27 million insurance recovery benefit tied to prior year legal fees. Excluding the insurance recovery, adjusted SG&A is expected to grow at a low single-digit rate, driven primarily by higher marketing investments as we lap a timing shift that pushed most of last year's spend into the second half of the year. Bringing this together, we expect adjusted operating income for the quarter of $30 million to $40 million. Incorporating the previously mentioned other expense and tax headwinds, we anticipate adjusted diluted earnings per share will range from $0.01 to $0.02 for the second quarter. So, to close, while the environment remains dynamic, we're staying focused with financial discipline, confidence and a clear sense of direction. We are shaping Under Armour into a brand that stands apart, where sports, performance and style converge in a way only we can deliver. This transformation will take time and requires patience as we take the deliberate steps needed to get it right. Our team is making bolder decisions, streamlining operations and moving with greater speed and precision. In the near-term, we'll remain agile and disciplined through this building phase. Over time, these actions will deliver what matters most: stronger results, deeper consumer loyalty and a brand that's more resilient, more distinctive, and positioned for lasting success. Now, we'll open the call to questions. Operator?

[Operator Instructions] And today's first question comes from Jay Sole with UBS. Please proceed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Jay Sole Analyst, UBS Securities LLC Q Great. Thank you so much. Kevin, two part question. First, can you just talk a little bit about how tariffs are impacting demand from your wholesale channel partners and kind of what you've seen and what those conversations have been like? And then secondly, maybe on North America, you mentioned in the prepared remarks that brands been inflecting maybe before the business, but can you maybe dive in a little bit more and share with us some of the green shoots you're seeing of improving brand health? Thank you so much. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah, thanks, Jay. First of all, I think the tariff environment isn't ideal for anyone. And I think it inadvertently hits our industry probably harder than – everybody's affected at some level, but it really hits our industry differently. But I got to tell you, I'm not sure that what we'd be doing for tariffs would be any different than what we've already started underway. And I think, I did a good job of laying that out. The two- part approach that we have, the two levers strategy we have attacking tariffs, which is number one – it's – we don't like the environment. We don't like where the math is, we don't like how we're sitting. And I think, it's important that I say that. But what we're doing about it is some of the things we've been trying to in an industry with an 18-month go-tomarket cycle. And for myself being back in this chair for 16 months, we have plenty good things happening before I got back in the chair. But I think, what we've really rallied ourselves around is focusing on key items that the consumer can look at and understand it's a product that only UA could make and it's special. I think that we've been able to put that proof in the pudding when it comes to things like that StealthForm Cap at a $45 price point and vetting from what has been a $25 price point in our industry that usually is out the door closer to $13 or $14 for most brands. So, changing that price point, doing the same thing with the go-to-market strategy we laid out with the No Weigh Backpack in a $40 to $65 market introducing a $140. And so that first lever is that we're going to keep creating shiny new things that the consumer looks at, covets and must have. Secondly, it's really the attack that we're taking across our broader portfolio. It's beginning with the top 10s in apparel and footwear and accessories. This has been underway, as I use the example of the Tech T product we have. But to be honest with you, we haven't. And this Under Armour owns this. We hadn't updated that product in too long and we watched our average selling price continue to migrate further and further from the suggested retail price. And so that discounting is something that we've been actively addressing and that we have a relaunch planned for that product where we're not only just going to reinvent the product, but it gives us the ability to move that price
    • 13. Under Armour, Inc. (UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 13 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC point up. We've talked about pricing power before and our ability to sort of broadly add that to our overall ecosystem. We're cautious with that of where we are right now, but we believe that this process, as we've been through this reinvention, is something that'll give us the ability come back to the consumer with an embedded consumer who knows the product, is looking, expecting something, delighting them and giving them more, and the ability to push that price point much closer to the full retail price. So, I think, that lever is very solid. And I think this is very related. So, thank you for the question, Jay. But where you asked about the brand inflecting before the business does. Let me give you three aspects of how I think about that. First of all, factual, in being out and saying our baselayer is trending. This campaign we have here in North America and our European team is doing a great job talking about our foundation of baselayer compression, et cetera. But here in North America, we'll be launching this UA's football campaign coming up in September. And I think the product that we're marketing is on point. The product and what we're seeing is actually checking really well. I'm talking double-digit types of sell-throughs that we're seeing in our compression baselayer, which has a halo effect for the overall brand of sort of bringing compression back into top of mind, which is a category that UA owns. There's also – and that's hard facts. There's also our NPS score that I mentioned about things like our e-comm site of going from 53% to 70%. That's best-in-class type of points that we have there. We've also seen brand metrics rising, especially with our 18-year to 34-year old demographics growing low-double-digits to mid-singledigits as well with brand perception. And then, adding and being able to get into things like the SMS program I think is really helpful. Secondly, let me just point us to retailer confidence. I've been out, I've been talking to our customers, reigniting those relationships that we have with them. I have to say, I believe there's belief from our customers that we're talking to. And that's because in some of the channel checks and you're unfortunately not seeing that come through immediately with the math. But we're seeing positive comps out there with some of our biggest and best retailers when it comes to men's and women's apparel, specifically. In order to get that shelf space back, it's exactly where we need to be. And those are the conversations we're engaged in right now. Those are just six month and nine-month conversations typically, but they're believing and I think it's happening now. Thirdly, I'll say, just as subjective. You're right, Jay, I have been doing this for a long time, close to 30 years and 20 years as a public company. But something's just different. As I said, our phone is ringing. You can feel it. This kid is not sort of turning their back to UA. I think they're turning into the brand and we're really seeing something which feels like just positive momentum. And it's a sentiment that's here in our building every day. It's a sentiment – again feeling from some of our partners. And it's not perfect out there for sure. And we have a number of things to work with and tariffs is certainly on that list. But I think we put our head down what we're doing right now, and we just continue to make small steps, small bites of the elephant. We're moving in the right direction.

We're better than we were six months ago. And I have great confidence, all the confidence that we'll be better six months from today. So, this projection, it feels like the trajectory is going in the right way. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Please proceed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Peter McGoldrick Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q Hey, thanks for taking my question. Dave, a question for you. As we think about the SKU clean up and pullback on promotion and pricing, can you help us think about within the 2Q revenue guide in terms of AUR and units, how should we be expecting this to develop moving forward? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah. I would say, Q2, as we mentioned, is probably going to be our toughest quarter as we think through the year as we're making a lot of progress relative to product. And hopefully we'll see some of that coming through when we get forward towards Q4. But in Q2, I think, North America is going to be a tougher decline for us. We talked about low-double-digit there, we're still seeing the impact of the trailing spring summer 2025 order book challenges that we spoke to before, also some traffic challenges within retail. So, we're doing our best to navigate through that. As we think about promotions and discounting, we made a lot of improvements and progress last year and we talked about that a lot. We saw that come through to gross profit last year. We intended to make more progress on that this year. I think with the tariff environment and how that's impacting demand in the overall market, it's going to be tougher to make more progress this year. But I think we do have that increased discipline, so we're going to make sure that we're sharper in how we do that and we don't want to go backwards for sure.

(UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 15 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC So, it is going to be tough as we navigate and some of that is what's assumed in our Q2, which is, knowing that it's going to be a promotional environment, knowing that we don't want to play in it as much and we don't want to take steps backwards. So that does pressure revenue a little bit in our Q2 outlook. But then also, the pressure that we're seeing in APAC. So those are really the puts and takes there. And then obviously we spoke a lot about the EMEA progress and the continued momentum there, which is great to see. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Peter McGoldrick Analyst, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. Q Thanks for that context. And then I'm curious on marketing investment direction, as you work to engage the 16- year to 34-year old team sports athlete, is there anything you can point to, to substantiate improved consideration with this younger demographic? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah. Peter, I think as I just covered with Jay's Q as well, we're seeing brand perception is up in the mid-singledigits. The 18-year to 34-year, the brand awareness is moving up. And so we're seeing these – we're seeing actual measurements moving in the right direction. But I have to say, the subjective is probably something that weighs in even more. It's sort of the energy, excitement, some of the things that we're seeing in our own e-commerce site, how people are acting and engaging the products that are selling, it's products that people would typically be using other brands for. We're starting to see some of that push and that moves from on field cleated products all the way to some of the more sportswear styles that we've been launching. Of late, we have products like the Apparition Tech and, the new SOLA that we just launched, which I don't think the consumer would see themselves purchasing that from us before that they're giving Under Armour permission or sales commissioned to buy our brand, at this time. So, I think, we feel pretty positive about where it's moving. And it's also the athletes that are signing with us and, the partnership with Gunna's and again, looking for influencers that can give, we keep saying give that kid permission. Thank you. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Operator: And the next question is from Sam Poser with Williams Trading. Please proceed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Sam Poser Analyst, Williams Trading LLC Q Yeah, sorry about that, folks. Can you hear me now? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A Yes, we can. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Sam Poser Analyst, Williams Trading LLC Q All right, good, good. So, I have a handful things. One, Kevin, you seem to be much more circumspect now than you were in 2000 – prior to 2019. I would love some color there. Number two, can you also bridge sort of how you see this brand improvement sort of start to show up? Number three, tax rate. And then number four, can you talk

Now, if you're seeing any – what you're starting to see there versus you're only really guiding the quarter. You said it's going to take a little bit – it's going to take longer now because of the tariffs and so on. But can you give us some color looking out a little further as well? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah, I'll start, Sam, and I'll let Dave handle tax rate. But let me just give you, I think how I'm thinking about the business, which is, I've been doing this a long time and have the ability to come back and hopefully apply all the benefit of that experience with a bit of wisdom, a lot of humility and real understanding and empathy for our consumer, for our team, and what it means to be in this business. So, it's a privilege, and I approach it like that every day. One of the phrases we use here is model the behavior, which means it does mean showing up for a 6:30 AM Tae Bo class or 06:00 AM boxing class, being with our team, being here every day and just seeing and building this in a much better – bigger and better, more effective way. I'm really proud of the team that's been assembled here. I think, it's clear, we're substantially built as we look at right now and now it's just a matter of execution. So, bringing that confidence from, bringing a brand partner like Eric Liedtke to the organization and many of the other additions and hires that we've made, we painstakingly have been building out the product infrastructure of the company. Now it's moving into the marketing function. Now that we have the three legs of the operating model, the go-to-market and the strategic business plan clearly articulated, it's a matter of execution. So, as I said, it's an 18-month process in our industry, but we'll continue to execute there. So hopefully what you feel is a bit of much calmer and clearer confidence in where the business is heading. And that's why I gave that reflection of thinking where we're going. The brand improvement it feels, we have metrics, as I've stated, some of the NPS scores and other things we're seeing as it relates to brand awareness and perception with the company. But you're just seeing it from these kids, I've got to tell you, is that it's different, something's different. And that's where I get to apply the experience I've had doing this to just what you see. And I think almost as importantly is what you feel in your gut. It feels like we're moving in the right direction. Let me just touch on order book and I'll let Dave touch that as well. We're out now in the move for our fiscal year, moving to the end of March, it extends things, but we're seeing a little bit of a greater impact as it relates to tariffs to the full fiscal year. And that's something that's had a bit of a factor as we're looking at some of our orders, we're trying to work all this through to the bottom line. We've seen some – we've seen energy and momentum, especially with some of our sportswear products that we're bringing in. And again, the buyers and the retailers committing to things that we've won with before, our compression baselayer, anything performance in on field we've got the innovation pipeline is really full right now and there's a lot of energy from our customers with that. And I think, we've laid out, I mean, just in footwear alone, I think we've had seven or eight launches over a 12-week span from our SlipSpeed ECHO to sportswear SOLA, the HALO collections. How they're selling in right now? There's a bit of wait and see. And by wait and see I mean people are bringing them in, but they're testing. And so, we're making bets where we think that we're going to win. We're going to make sure that we're in an inventory positive position to be able to service that demand. But there's nothing wrong with a little bit of scarcity, too. So, our order books, I'm going to let Dave give a little more color there.

(UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 17 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah, I mean I think that, obviously when we're giving real detail here on Q2, but we are excited about the reactions and the feedback we're seeing on the product. And I think that, as we think forward, we get to the tail end of fall, winter 2025, but then more so when we get into spring summer 2026, which is more Q4, we think that there'll be the most strength there. And that's what we're kind of excited about as far as how we're talking with the accounts and how they're receiving the product, what they're seeing from our kind of newly developed product team and some of the partners we're working with. So that's kind of what we're looking at, at this point, but we're not at a point yet to give a lot more detail than that. I would say from a tax rate perspective, there is a lot going on within taxes. And I think maybe if I try and simplify it as much as possible, at a high level, we're paying taxes and we're incurring tax expense in the foreign jurisdictions where we're making income there, which – that makes sense. But when you think about the additional tariff costs, etcetera, that we have this year, we actually won't make money in the US this year. So that expected losses there, but we can't actually take the benefit of those US losses from a tax perspective because they're actually being absorbed by US GILTI tax regulations, which basically require us to use our domestic losses to offset foreign earnings first. So it's a little bit of a double negative there that we're dealing with, but it all kind of is attributed to the lower profitability this year that we will grow out of as we move forward beyond this year. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Sam Poser Analyst, Williams Trading LLC Q Okay, thanks. And just one last thing, I heard through the grapevine that you guys – your – are you looking at different channels? Are you getting good response with different channels of distribution? And you've cited that one rapper Gunna. I heard there might be some other more prominent rapper on the horizon. Can you give us any color there? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah, we've got a lot of things in flight right now, Sam, so that's the good news. As I said, our phone is ringing, so I want to make sure as well, that when we're sort of trying to articulate, like where the brand is or where we sit, I tend to come with a North American band, but the momentum that we've seen in EMEA of sort of where Under Armour's position there, I think we're probably the top brand in France. And we've really built a great foundation in the UK as well through our European strategy. But the brand is just working and that's what gives us probably even greater confidence that the play we're running here now is what EMEA was running four, five years ago. And so there's great things on the horizon to come for us. So we just got to head down, just keep chopping wood. But the team feels that there's a great confidence here. Thank you. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Please proceed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Brian Nagel Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. Q Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my question. So, Kevin, the question I want to ask and I guess bigger picture, but you're clearly – you're executing this repositioning against a very fluid macro competitive backdrop. But as you and the team have been pushing this forward, dealing with some of these challenges, are there any key course corrections that you've made so far? And you start to see results from those? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A I'd start with Brian is that I think that overall theme, if you ask me to sum it up, which is selling so much more, so much less at a much higher full retail price, it's our commitment to doing that in the – with the right partners is that we're not trying to eat the whole elephant at once. We are taking this in bites. We are dealing with in a dynamic and fluid environment, as you said. But we've been doing this anyway, whether it's tariffs or whatever else is happening, I think this is frankly the right component. As we've looked at other turnarounds, what people have done in strategic transformations, there's nothing else to do but just slow down, focus on your core, do it better. As I said, we're in the SKU reduction, our materials reduction, and just getting people – getting that – making the toolkit smaller. So there's not as many questions as to how we're trying to build this next chapter for us. So, we're focused on the controllables doing all the right things that we can. But, it's not magic. And I say that not as – let me – I'm asking you to wait years upon years. But I think again, month 16 of an 18 month industry go-tomarket process, I think it's we're not that far away. We've got work to do, but you'll start seeing it where the math will start to back up what we're doing, we can't point to it today and it's not prudent for us to do. We just again have our head down and just marching forward. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Brian Nagel Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. Q That's helpful. And then, I just had a follow up question to that for me is, you talked a lot about today that you're really focusing on the brand and reestablishing the brand, is the operational structure of Under Armour correct right now, or should we expect some additional operational changes as well? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A No, that's what's been put in place. As I said, in February, we implemented our operating model, which is category management, followed by showing you what the go-to-market is and a very sort of commercial version of what that go-to-market looks like utilizing that No Weigh Backpack, which Elite product is number one, clear storytelling to be able to communicate that to the sales force and how they can sell that into accounts, making sure that the [ph] PoP (00:54:13) is correct and the way we sell it through. And then finally, the execution of how we're brand building around it, which I think everybody continues to ask about is that, is the willingness from the consumer to be there. And that's what we're finding in some of these premium price points products that we're putting out there really seem to be working for us.

(UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 19 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC The strategy wise, for us, it's just about, again, I think execution is probably the topic of the day for us to lean on to get after. And then finally it's the [indiscernible] (00:55:00) business plan. Those three legs are in place. The foundation is there. It's a matter of us just running that through the model right now. So the GMs are really excited about, we got – we have four great leaders here that are running our business and they're reporting into Eric and if someone with experience, you've seen it before with a lot of Under Armour, UA integral knowledge combined with expertise from the outside. So we're doing this ourselves, meaning it's just industry experience that's driving this for us. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Brian Nagel Analyst, Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. Q Got it. I appreciate all the color. Thanks. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A Thank you. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Operator: Our next question comes from Paul Lejuez with Citi. Please proceed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Paul Lejuez Analyst, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Q Hey, thanks, guys. Wanted to understand the second quarter North America sales decline a little bit better and how we got to that down low double-digits. We've got always what the order book looked like. Do you see some cancellations? If so, are you seeing more on the apparel side or footwear? And also, curious of any other cancellations, if you did see them, what's tied to price increases that you tried to take at the retailer to sort of pull back from? Thanks. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah. Paul, this is Dave. I'd say a couple things there. We did speak before about the harder spring, summer 2025 order book that we've been dealing with. And that's definitely out there on the factory house side, and on the – also brand house side, we've seen traffic definitely trail off and we think a lot of that it's been tied to the timing of the developments in tariff environment and some of the uncertainty that's out there in the market. And then from an eCommerce perspective, it's been pretty promotional and we're trying not to play into that as much as we took so many good steps forward last year. So there's a lot of different pieces to that I would say that that's coming into play and that's something that we're continuing to kind of navigate and we want to stay true to the strategy. We don't want to divert from that. We understand that creates some extra pressure as we step through Q2. But we're going to navigate through that. And I think, when you look at the product breakdown, there are more headwinds in footwear than in apparel. We saw that in Q1 and we expect that will continue in Q2. Again, as we go further into the back half of the year, we see that starting to turn the other way as we get more of the new product out there and there's lot of new excitement around that product. So we think that that should be more of a temporary situation as far as the lag on footwear more than apparel. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
    • 20. Under Armour, Inc.

Q Got it. And then just with the elevation strategy, have you already started to take prices up on like-for-like items? And what has been your wholesale partner response to that? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A So I'd say a couple things there. We have worked through some specific and targeted price increases. More of that's going to be around some of our new product launches or relaunches. And then as we think about further down the road and this is where we talked about more of it being a benefit in fiscal 2027 is where we might be able to drive through some more holistic price increases, more from a brand perspective on price levels as we see a lot of our competitors in the space moving into that as well. But we believe there will be an opportunity to do that. Again, that's not something that we can move through as quickly as far as how it could benefit fiscal 2026. So there'll be some benefits in fiscal 2026 that are more targeted and specific. And I think the accounts are okay with that. As we step into fiscal 2027, there will be some broader benefits from the pricing changes and based on what we're seeing in the market from other brands, we're believing that that's going to be fairly accepted. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Paul Lejuez Analyst, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. Q Thank you. Good luck. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Operator: The next question is from Brooke Roach with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Brooke Roach Analyst, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC Q Good morning and thank you for taking our question. Kevin, as you think about the execution of the North America transformation, has anything changed in this current macro backdrop that shakes your confidence in your ability to deliver that on a medium-term basis? And then for Dave, can you just parse the comments on the DTC a little bit more in North America? Specifically, what actions do you have in place that can help move the needle with your customers in both eComm and brickand-mortar post moving through some of this pressure you're seeing in the second quarter? Thank you. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Kevin A. Plank President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, Under Armour, Inc. A

I think that we're relatively confident with what we're seeing. And that means, again, some of the outlook in near term. And I think that confidence is some is reflecting through to our retailers and some of the performance you're seeing. So the softer traffic trend is certainly affecting across all channels for us, especially here in North America. But there's clearly – again, as I stated earlier, there's clearly momentum that we're seeing with some of our products. It's particularly around our core with Baselayer, the things that we're pushing out there. You've got these one off sort of glimpses of light that we're seeing in some of the new sportswear offerings. But that's a new trade for the consumer. They haven't yet really expected and seen us there. So we're coming out and launching things like the new SOLA collection HALO, the new Apparition Tech, which is something in an urban environment, is doing really well for us in some of our more targeted city stores that we have. But we're also showing them things like the collaboration we did with the car manufacturer Mansory in Global Football. And I think you're starting to see just aspects of the brand that people haven't seen before. And it's showing up in a new way, in a new place. That underpinned by our core getting stronger is something that we think is the halo that should help us. And so while we're not ready to give that in terms of outlook of how that will inflect on the business immediately, we're doing well with the business. I think that's where we continue to do what we said we're going to do and just marching forward. And I want to say that with more confidence than fingers crossed. There's real context from what we're seeing in some of the NPS scores and some of the other indicators that we have around awareness and perception for the brand. So you're feeling it and we're starting to see that in the sell through. So one place and one space at a time, one foot in front of the other is how we're marching to North America. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A And Brooke, I think when you think about the DTC front, the two big pieces are really factory house and eComm for us. Brand house is pretty small, as you know. And the bigger pressure that we're seeing is really going to be more on the eComm side. And that has to do with the level of promotions in the market right now. And we'll have to play in that to a degree, but we're really trying to hold the line and not really lose the ground and the improvements that we drove through strategically last year and that is creating some of that extra pressure on eComm. I think some of the additional marketing efforts that are coming through and some of the campaigns that Kevin mentioned are going to help us better in the back half of year relative to eComm. But Q2 is still going to be pretty tough there. On factory house, we've seen the decreased traffic and that's been really retail in total for us, brand house and factory house. We've been combating that with some of the assortments that we have. We've been adding some of our full price product to draw consumers in a little bit more as well, just because there's not as many access points for them to get to the brands, since we don't have many brand house stores. And so we've been able to actually combat a good bit of that through better conversion. So the factory house impact on Q2 is less really than the eComm impact, but we're going to keep driving against that improving as we go through the back half of the year.

Operator: And today's last question will be from Laurent Vasilescu with BNP Paribas. Please proceed. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Laurent Vasilescu Analyst, BNP Paribas Exane Q Good morning, Kevin. Dave, thanks for all the color this morning. I know, Kevin, you talked about lowered expectation in FY 2026, largely driven by tariffs and North American demand. And I know you're not prepared to guide for 2H revenues. Should we assume North America's Q2 guide of down low double-digit continues into 2H or should we see further pressure on consumers in North America as they start to see a broad-based inflation across the marketplace? ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A Yeah. I think that there could be a little bit of that and we've built that into our expectations internally. But again, I think that with a lot of the relationships that Kevin and the sales teams have been driving, a lot of the new product that's being shown and the excitement around that new product, we feel that we're going to be able to kind of drive against that as best we can. So I don't know that you should expect a bigger deterioration in North America in the back half. If anything, as we get further into Q4, we would expect a little bit of improvement there, mainly driven by product and some of the impacts of the improved and prioritized marketing that we're doing. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Laurent Vasilescu Analyst, BNP Paribas Exane Q Very helpful and it's good to hear about the NPS scores. I wanted to ask as a second question. Gross margin guide for 2Q, the down 340 to 360 basis points. Can you unpack that a little bit more for the audience, like how much is tariffs, what's embedded in that? I think that's one of the two drivers of the pressure and should we assume that kind of pressure rate overall on gross margins for the second half to get to that commentary around profitability being half of what it was last year? Thank you very much. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... David Eric Bergman Chief Financial Officer, Under Armour, Inc. A Sure. When you think about the biggest driver is definitely the supply chain headwinds and that's probably in the neighborhood of 300-ish basis points, 200 basis points of that or two-thirds of that we mentioned is really the direct tariff cost impacts. And then there's some other pieces of product costing, inventory returns and things like that that comes into play there. Then there's smaller impacts relative to channel mix. We are doing or expecting a little bit higher liquidation this year than last year with third parties, still staying within that 3% to 4% operating mix. But definitely maybe on the

(UA) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Corrected Transcript 08-Aug-2025 1-877-FACTSET www.callstreet.com 23 Copyright © 2001-2025 FactSet CallStreet, LLC higher end where we used to be on the lower end of that. So that's a little bit of a headwind as we think about the quarter. And then on the positive side, we do see FX benefits and then we also see some favorable pricing changes that we would be starting to drive through. And some of that is even on the liquidation itself, even though the channel might be a little bit higher. We actually think with the product we have, we'll be able to get a little bit better pricing. Those are really smaller impacts. I would say, the big one is obviously the tariff costs. And then as we think about, full year, that 200 basis point comment really is the full year comment as well. And when we look at other puts and takes outside of that, there isn't a lot going on. When you think about regions, there could be a small headwind there just because APAC and North America declines and they're higher gross margin regions for us. But then on the flip side, with footwear growing or footwear challenged a little bit more than apparel, that mix actually helps gross margin a little bit. So there's some smaller puts and takes there. But in general, the big factor is the year-over-year 200-basis-point hit on the tariff costs that we're estimating currently. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
