OVERVIEW

We are a leading developer, marketer, and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear, and accessories. Our brand's moisture-wicking fabrications are engineered in various designs and styles for wear in nearly every climate to provide a performance alternative to traditional products. Our products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe and by consumers with active lifestyles.

Strategically and operationally, we remain focused on driving premium brand-right growth and improved profitability. We plan to continue to grow our business over the long term through increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories; growth in our direct-to-consumer sales channel; and expansion of our wholesale distribution. We believe that achievement of our long-term growth objectives depends, in part, on our ability to execute strategic initiatives in key areas including our wholesale, footwear, women’s and direct-to-consumer businesses. Additionally, our digital strategy is focused on supporting these long-term objectives, emphasizing connection and engagement with our consumers through multiple digital touchpoints.

Fiscal 2024 Performance

During Fiscal 2024, we faced a challenging retail environment, particularly in North America, that included higher promotions and discounting as well as lower demand in our wholesale channel.

Financial highlights for Fiscal 2024 as compared to Fiscal 2023 include:

•Total net revenues decreased 3.4%.

•Within our channels, wholesale revenue decreased 6.5% and direct-to-consumer revenue increased 3.0%.

28

Table of Contents

•Within our product categories, apparel revenue decreased 2.1%, footwear revenue decreased 4.9%, and accessories revenue decreased 0.7%.

•Net revenue decreased 8.3% in North America, increased 9.0% in EMEA, increased 5.8% in Asia-Pacific, and increased 7.6% in Latin America.

•Gross margin increased 130 basis points to 46.1%.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.9%.

Recent Developments

On May 15, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan designed to rebalance our cost base to further improve profitability and cash flow generation. In connection with the restructuring plan, we expect to incur total estimated pre-tax restructuring and related charges of approximately $70 million to $90 million during fiscal year 2025, primarily consisting of up to approximately:

•$50 million in cash-related charges, consisting of approximately $15 million in employee severance and benefits costs, and $35 million related to various transformational initiatives; and

•$40 million in non-cash charges consisting of approximately $7 million in employee severance and benefits costs and $33 million in facility, software and other asset-related charges and impairments.

Effects of Inflation and Other Global Events

Macroeconomic factors, such as inflationary pressures and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, have and may continue to impact our business. We continue to monitor these factors and the potential impacts they may have on our financial results, including product input costs, freight costs and consumer discretionary spending and therefore consumer demand for our products. We also continue to monitor the broader impacts of conflicts around the world on the economy, including its effect on inflationary pressures and the price of oil globally.

See "Risk Factors—Economic and Industry Risks—Our business depends on consumer purchases of discretionary items, which can be negatively impacted during an economic downturn or periods of inflation. This could materially impact our sales, profitability, results of operations and financial condition"; "—Fluctuations in the cost of raw materials and commodities we use in our products and costs related to our supply chain could negatively affect our operating results"; "—Our financial results and ability to grow our business may be negatively impacted by global events beyond our control"; and "—Financial Risks—Our financial results could be adversely impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations" included in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During Fiscal 2024, we identified and corrected certain accounting errors, primarily related to cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, as well as corresponding impacts to our other Consolidated Financial Statements. The impacts of these revisions were not material to our previously filed financial statements. Information presented in the tables below for the year ended March 31, 2023 has been revised to reflect these corrections. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following tables set forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues:

Revenues

Net revenues consist of net sales, license revenues, and revenues from digital subscriptions, digital advertising and other digital business opportunities. Net sales consist of sales from apparel, footwear and accessories products. Our license revenues primarily consist of fees paid to us by licensees in exchange for the use of our trademarks on their products. The following tables summarize net revenues by product category and distribution channel for the periods indicated:

(1) Corporate Other primarily includes foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within our operating segments but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program, as well as subscription revenues from MMR and revenue from other digital business opportunities.

Net Sales

Net sales decreased by $156.6 million, or 2.7%, to $5,578.3 million during Fiscal 2024, from $5,735.0 million in Fiscal 2023. Apparel decreased primarily due to lower unit sales, partially offset by higher average selling prices and favorable channel mix. Footwear decreased primarily due to lower unit sales, partially offset by higher average selling prices and favorable channel mix. Accessories decreased primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower unit sales, partially offset by favorable channel and regional mix. From a channel perspective, the decrease in net sales was due to a decrease in wholesale, partially offset by an increase in direct-to-consumer.

License Revenues

License revenues decreased by $5.5 million or 4.7%, to $111.2 million during Fiscal 2024, from $116.7 million in Fiscal 2023. This was primarily due to lower revenues from our licensing partners in North America and our Japanese licensee.

Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, inbound freight and duty costs, outbound freight costs, handling costs to make products floor-ready to customer specifications, royalty payments to endorsers based on a predetermined percentage of sales of selected products and write downs for inventory obsolescence. In general, as a percentage of net revenues, we expect cost of goods sold associated with our apparel and accessories to be lower than that of our footwear. A limited portion of cost of goods sold is associated with digital subscription and advertising revenues, primarily website hosting costs, and no cost of goods sold is associated with our license revenues.

We include outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold; however, we include the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies that include outbound handling costs in their cost of goods sold. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate our distribution facilities. These costs were $79.8 million in Fiscal 2024 (Fiscal 2023: $79.5 million).

Gross profit decreased by $13.6 million to $2,630.3 million during Fiscal 2024, as compared to $2,643.8 million in Fiscal 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, increased to 46.1% from 44.8%. This increase in gross margin of 130 basis points was primarily driven by favorable impacts of approximately 290 basis points from supply chain benefits, mainly due to lower freight and product costs. This was partially offset

31

Table of Contents

by unfavorable impacts of approximately 130 basis points from proactive inventory management actions, including increased promotional activities within our direct-to-consumer channel; and 40 basis points from changes in foreign currency.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs related to marketing, selling, product innovation and supply chain, and corporate services. We consolidate our selling, general and administrative expenses into two primary categories: marketing and other. The other category is the sum of our selling, product innovation and supply chain, and corporate services categories. The marketing category consists primarily of sports and brand marketing, media, and retail presentation. Sports and brand marketing includes professional, club and collegiate sponsorship agreements, individual athlete and influencer agreements, and providing and selling products directly to teams and individual athletes. Media includes digital, broadcast, and print media outlets, including social and mobile media. Retail presentation includes sales displays and concept shops and depreciation expense specific to our in-store fixture programs. Our marketing costs are an important driver of our growth.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses$2,400,502$2,380,245$20,2570.9%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $20.3 million, or 0.9%, during Fiscal 2024 as compared to Fiscal 2023. Within selling, general and administrative expense:

•Marketing costs decreased $51.8 million or 8.3%, due to a reduction in marketing activities during the period. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased to 10.0% from 10.5%.

•Other costs increased $72.0 million or 4.1%, primarily driven by higher litigation reserve, incentive compensation expenses, selling and distribution expenses, and facility related expenses, partially offset by lower consulting expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, other costs increased to 32.1% from 29.8%.

As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 42.1% during Fiscal 2024 as compared to 40.3% in Fiscal 2023.

Interest (Income) Expense, net

Interest (income) expense, net is primarily comprised of interest incurred on our debt facilities, offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. See Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details.

Year Ended March 31,

Interest expense, net decreased by $13.1 million to interest income, net of $0.3 million during Fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $11.9 million, resulting from higher interest rates, and a decrease in interest expense of $1.2 million.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net generally consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses on our foreign currency derivative financial instruments, and unrealized and realized gains and losses on adjustments that arise from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by our international subsidiaries. Other income (expense), net also includes earn-out income recorded in connection with the sale of the MyFitnessPal platform and rent expense relating to lease assets held solely for sublet purposes, primarily the lease related to our New York City, 5th Avenue location.

Year Ended March 31,
(In thousands)20242023Change ($)Change (%)
Income tax expense (benefit)$30,006$(108,645)$138,651(127.6)%

Income tax expense increased $138.7 million to $30.0 million during Fiscal 2024 from an income tax benefit of $108.6 million in Fiscal 2023. For Fiscal 2024, our effective tax rate was 11.4% compared to (40.6%) for Fiscal 2023. The change was primarily due to the recognition of an income tax benefit from the release of the Company's U.S. federal valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in Fiscal 2023.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our operating segments are based on how our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Our segments are defined by geographic regions, including North America, EMEA, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

We exclude certain corporate items from our segment profitability measures. We report these items within Corporate Other, which is designed to provide increased transparency and comparability of our operating segments' performance. Corporate Other consists primarily of (i) operating results related to our MMR platforms and other digital business opportunities; (ii) general and administrative expenses not allocated to an operating segment, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments such as global marketing, global IT, global supply chain and innovation, and other corporate support functions; (iii) restructuring and restructuring related charges, if any; and (iv) certain foreign currency hedge gains and losses.

The net revenues and operating income (loss) associated with our segments are summarized in the following tables.

(1) Corporate Other primarily includes foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within our operating segments but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program, as well as subscription revenues from MMR and revenue from other digital business opportunities.

The decrease in total net revenues for Fiscal 2024, compared to Fiscal 2023, was driven by the following:

•Net revenues in our North America region decreased by $315.4 million, or 8.3%, to $3,505.2 million from $3,820.5 million. This was driven by a decrease in both our wholesale channel and our direct-to-consumer channel as well as a decrease in licensing revenues. Within our direct-to-consumer channel, net revenues decreased in both e-commerce and owned and operated retail store sales.

•Net revenues in our EMEA region increased by $89.3 million, or 9.0%, to $1,081.9 million from $992.6 million. This was primarily driven by an increase in both our direct-to-consumer channel and our wholesale channel. Within our direct-to-consumer channel, net revenues increased in both owned and operated retail store and e-commerce sales. Net revenues in our EMEA region were also positively impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates.

•Net revenues in our Asia-Pacific region increased by $47.7 million, or 5.8%, to $873.0 million from $825.3 million. This was driven by an increase in both our direct-to-consumer channel and our wholesale

channel. Within our direct-to-consumer channel, net revenues increased in both owned and operated retail store and e-commerce sales. During Fiscal 2023, our direct-to-consumer channel was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 related restrictions, which included temporary closures of our owned and operated stores and distribution centers in China. Net revenues in our Asia-Pacific region were also negatively impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates.

•Net revenues in our Latin America region increased by $16.3 million, or 7.6%, to $229.5 million from $213.2 million. This was primarily driven by an increase in both our direct-to-consumer channel and our wholesale channel. Within our direct-to-consumer channel, net revenues increased in both owned and operated retail store and e-commerce sales. Net revenues in our Latin America region were also positively impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates.

•Net revenues in our Corporate Other non-operating segment decreased by $39.2 million to $12.3 million from $51.5 million. This was primarily driven by lower foreign currency hedge gains related to revenues generated by entities within our operating segments.

Corporate Other also includes expenses related to our central supporting functions.

The decrease in total operating income for Fiscal 2024, compared to Fiscal 2023, was primarily driven by the following:

•Operating income in our North America region decreased by $36.8 million to $677.9 million from $714.7 million. This was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by lower marketing-related expenses. The decline in gross profit was driven by lower net revenues as discussed above, partially offset by lower product input costs and freight costs.

•Operating income in our EMEA region increased by $64.0 million to $176.2 million from $112.2 million. This was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by higher selling and distribution expenses, facilities-related expenses and non-salaried wage expenses. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher net revenues as discussed above and lower freight costs.

•Operating income in our Asia-Pacific region increased by $19.4 million to $119.7 million from $100.3 million. This was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, lower marketing-related expenses and lower selling and distribution expenses, partially offset by higher facilities-related expenses and bad debt expenses. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher net revenues as discussed above.

•Operating income in our Latin America region increased by $14.9 million to $38.4 million from $23.5 million. This was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by higher selling and distribution costs. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher net revenues as discussed above and lower freight and product input costs.

•Operating loss in our Corporate Other non-operating segment increased by $95.4 million to $782.4 million from $687.0 million. This was primarily due to higher litigation reserve, net losses arising from foreign currency hedges, and higher incentive compensation expenses, partially offset by lower consulting expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash requirements have principally been for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our working capital, primarily inventory, and capital investments from cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and borrowings available under our credit and long-term debt facilities. Our working capital requirements generally reflect the seasonality in our business as we historically recognize the majority of our net revenues in the last two quarters of the calendar year. Our capital investments have generally included expanding our in-store fixture and branded concept shop program, improvements and expansion of our distribution and corporate facilities, including construction of our new global headquarters, leasehold improvements to our Brand and Factory House stores, and investment and improvements in information technology systems. Our inventory strategy is focused on continuing to meet consumer demand while improving our inventory efficiency over the long term by putting systems and processes in place to improve our inventory management. These systems and processes are designed to improve our forecasting and supply planning capabilities. In addition, we strive to enhance our inventory performance by focusing on adding discipline around product purchasing, reducing production lead time and improving planning and execution for selling excess inventory through our Factory House stores and other liquidation channels.

As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $858.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations, our ability to reduce our expenditures as needed, borrowings available to us under our amended credit agreement, our ability to access the capital markets, and other financing alternatives are adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, from time to time, based on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we may seek to utilize cash on hand, borrowings or raise capital to retire, repurchase or redeem our debt securities, repay debt, repurchase shares of our common stock or otherwise enter into similar transactions to support our capital structure and business or utilize excess cash flow on a strategic basis. For example, as further described below, we repurchased a total of $500 million of our Class C Common Stock through a series of accelerated share repurchase transactions during Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and the Transition Period, under the two-year program authorized by our Board of Directors in February 2022, and, in May 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase a total of $500 million of our Class C Common Stock through May 2027.

If there are unexpected material impacts to our business in future periods from global or regional public health emergencies or other global macroeconomic factors, or if we are subject to an adverse verdict or enter in to a settlement of our material litigation (see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) that results in a significant cash outlay by us and we need to raise or conserve additional cash to fund our operations, we may consider additional alternatives, including further reducing our expenditures, changing our investment strategies, reducing compensation costs, including through temporary reductions in pay and layoffs, limiting certain marketing and capital expenditures, and negotiating, extending or delaying payment terms with our customers and vendors. In addition, we may seek alternative sources of liquidity, including but not limited to, accessing the capital markets, sale-leaseback transactions or other sales of assets, or other alternative financing measures. However, instability in, or tightening of the capital markets, could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets on terms acceptable to us or at all. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, a prolonged or more severe economic recession, inflationary pressure, or a slow recovery could adversely affect our business and liquidity and could require us to take certain of the liquidity preserving actions described above.

As of March 31, 2024, $632.2 million or approximately 74% of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Based on the capital and liquidity needs of our foreign operations, we intend to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside the United States. In addition, our United States operations do not require the repatriation of these funds to meet our currently projected liquidity needs. Should we require additional capital in the United States, we may borrow in the United States or elect to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds. If we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds, we would be required to accrue and pay certain taxes upon repatriation, including foreign withholding taxes and certain U.S. state taxes and recognized foreign exchange rate impacts. Determination of the unrecorded deferred tax liability that would be incurred if such amounts were repatriated is not practicable.

Refer to our "Risk Factors" section included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 23, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $500 million (exclusive of fees and commissions) of outstanding shares of our Class C Common Stock over the following two years. As of March 31, 2024, we have repurchased a total of $500 million or 45.6 million outstanding shares of our Class C Common Stock under the share repurchase program, thereby completing all repurchase activity under the repurchase program.

Pursuant to a number of previously disclosed accelerated share repurchase transactions that the Company entered into between May 2022 and November 2023 (the "ASR Agreements"), we repurchased 10.7 million and 18.7 million shares of Class C Common Stock, which were immediately retired, during Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively. As a result, $74.8 million was recorded to retained earnings to reflect the difference between the market price of the Class C Common Stock repurchased and its par value during Fiscal 2024 (Fiscal 2023: $174.0 million).

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "Act") was enacted and signed into law in the United States, which imposed a 1.0% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. As a result, we accrued $0.7 million of excise tax in connection with the share repurchases completed during the year ended March 31, 2024, which was recorded in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024.

On May 15, 2024, subsequent to the fiscal year end, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million (exclusive of fees and commissions) of outstanding shares of our Class C Common Stock through May 31, 2027. See Note 22 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contractual Commitments

We lease warehouse space, office facilities, space for our Brand and Factory House stores and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2038, excluding extensions at our option, and include provisions for rental adjustments. In addition, this table includes executed lease agreements for Brand and Factory House stores that we did not yet occupy as of March 31, 2024. The operating leases generally contain renewal provisions for varying periods of time. Our significant contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2024 are summarized in the following table:

(1) Includes estimated interest payments based on applicable fixed interest rates as of March 31, 2024, timing of scheduled payments, and the term of the debt obligations.

(2) Includes future minimum payments for operating lease obligations. This amount also includes approximately $58.9 million relating to an agreement entered into during Fiscal 2024 with a new third-party logistics provider to operate a distribution center in the Netherlands, which has been assessed to contain a lease and is expected to commence in February 2026. Minimum payments for lease obligations exclude variable lease costs, such as contingent rent expense we may incur at our Brand and Factory house stores based on future sales above a specified minimum or payments made for common area maintenance and real estate taxes.

(3) We generally place orders with our manufacturers at least three to four months in advance of expected future sales. The amounts listed for product purchase obligations primarily represent our open production purchase orders with our manufacturers for our apparel, footwear and accessories, including expected inbound freight, duties and other costs. These open purchase orders specify fixed or minimum quantities of products at determinable prices. The product purchase obligations also includes fabric commitments with our suppliers, which secure a portion of our material needs for future seasons. The reported amounts exclude product purchase liabilities included in accounts payable as of March 31, 2024.

(4) Includes sponsorships with professional teams, professional leagues, colleges and universities, individual athletes, athletic events and other marketing commitments in order to promote our brand. Some of these sponsorship agreements provide for additional performance incentives and product supply obligations. It is not possible to determine how much we will spend on product supply obligations on an annual basis as contracts generally do not stipulate specific cash amounts to be spent on products. The amount of product provided to these sponsorships depends on many factors including general playing conditions, the number of sporting events in which they participate and our decisions regarding product and marketing initiatives. In addition, it is not possible to determine the performance incentive amounts we may be required to pay under these agreements as they are primarily subject to certain performance based and other variables. The amounts listed above are

the fixed minimum amounts required to be paid under these sponsorship agreements. Additionally, these amounts include minimum guaranteed royalty payments to endorsers and licensors based upon a predetermined percent of sales of particular products.

The table above excludes a liability of $63.5 million for uncertain tax positions, inclusive of related interest and penalties, as we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing an amount of future cash settlement. Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a further discussion of our uncertain tax positions.

Cash Flows

The following table presents the major components of our cash flows provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities for the periods presented:

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$150,172$(294,642)$444,814

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $393.9 million, as compared to Fiscal 2023, primarily driven by an increase in net income before the impact of non-cash items of $29.9 million and an increase from changes in working capital of $364.0 million.

The changes in working capital were due to the following inflows:

•$585.5 million from changes in inventories;

•$95.9 million from changes in other non-current assets;

•$57.0 million from changes in accounts receivable; and

•$8.8 million from changes in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

These inflows were partially offset by the following working capital outflows:

•$274.2 million from changes in accounts payable;

•$77.9 million from changes in income taxes payable and receivable, net;

•$22.3 million from changes in customer refund liabilities; and

•$8.9 million from changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $17.7 million, as compared to Fiscal 2023. This was primarily due to a higher earn-out collected in connection with the sale of the MyFitnessPal platform and a decrease in capital expenditures.

Total capital expenditures during Fiscal 2024 were $150.3 million, or approximately 3% of net revenues, representing a $7.7 million decrease from $158.1 million in Fiscal 2023. Our long-term operating principle for capital expenditures is to spend between 3% and 5% of annual net revenues as we invest in our global direct-to-consumer, e-Commerce and digital businesses, information technology systems, distribution centers and our global offices, including our new global headquarters in the Baltimore Peninsula, an area of Baltimore, Maryland. During the Fiscal 2024, we incurred capital expenditures of $95.5 million relating to the construction of our new global headquarters. As previously disclosed, our plans for our new headquarters have been designed in line with our long-term sustainability strategy and include a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase sourcing of renewable electricity in our owned and operated facilities. We expect a portion of our capital expenditures over the next few years to include investments incorporating sustainable and intelligent building design features into this facility.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $47.7 million, as compared to Fiscal 2023. During Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, we paid $75.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively, to repurchase shares of our Class C Common Stock through accelerated share repurchase transactions. For more details, see discussion above under "Share Repurchase Program".

Capital Resources

Credit Facility

On March 8, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement by and among us, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and arrangers party thereto (the "credit agreement"). In March 2024, we entered into a fourth amendment to the credit agreement (the credit agreement as amended and the "amended credit agreement" or the "revolving credit facility"). The amended credit agreement provides for an aggregate $1.1 billion of revolving credit commitments comprised of two tranches: (i) one tranche of $50 million that has a term that ends on December 3, 2026, and (ii) a second tranche of $1.05 billion that has a term that ends on December 3, 2027, in each case with permitted extensions under certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

At our request and a lender's consent, commitments under the amended credit agreement may be increased by up to $300.0 million in aggregate, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the amended credit agreement. Incremental borrowings are uncommitted and the availability thereof will depend on market conditions at the time we seek to incur such borrowings.

Borrowings, if any, under the revolving credit facility have maturities of less than one year. Up to $50.0 million of the facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. As of March 31, 2024, $4.2 million of letters of credit were outstanding (March 31, 2023: $4.4 million).

Our obligations under the amended credit agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic significant subsidiaries of Under Armour, Inc., subject to customary exceptions (the "subsidiary guarantors") and primarily secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Under Armour, Inc. and the subsidiary guarantors, excluding real property, capital stock in and debt of subsidiaries of Under Armour, Inc. holding certain real property and other customary exceptions. The amended credit agreement provides for the permanent fall away of guarantees and collateral upon our achievement of investment grade rating from two rating agencies.

The amended credit agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness; pledge the assets as security; make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions (including investments in and loans to non-guarantor subsidiaries); undergo fundamental changes; sell assets outside the ordinary course of business; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make restricted payments.

We are also required to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA, to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.50 to 1.0 (the "interest coverage covenant") and we are not permitted to allow the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be greater than 3.25 to 1.0 (the "leverage covenant"), as described in more detail in the amended credit agreement. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants.

In addition, the amended credit agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, and includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other material indebtedness, as defined in the amended credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the amended credit agreement.

The amended credit agreement implemented SOFR as the replacement for LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate for the U.S. dollar borrowings (and analogous benchmark rate replacements for borrowings in Yen, Pound Sterling and Euro). Borrowings under the amended credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an alternate base rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars), (b) a term rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars, Euros or Japanese Yen) or (c) a "risk free" rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars or Pounds Sterling), plus in each case an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the "pricing grid") based on the leverage ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA and ranges between 1.00% to 1.75% (or, in the case of alternate base rate loans 0.00% to 0.75%). We will also pay a commitment fee determined in accordance with the pricing grid on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and certain fees with respect to letters of credit. As of March 31, 2024, the commitment fee was 15.0 basis points.

1.50% Convertible Senior Notes

We have approximately $80.9 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the "Convertible Senior Notes") outstanding as of March 31, 2024, which were issued in May 2020. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 1.50% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2020. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted in accordance with their terms, redeemed in accordance with their terms or repurchased. Upon maturity, the Company currently expects to repay the remaining approximately $80.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, using cash on hand.

The Convertible Senior Notes are not secured and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries.

The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class C Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class C Common Stock, at our election, as described further below. The initial conversion rate is 101.8589 shares of our Class C Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.82 per share of Class C Common Stock), subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, holders held rights to (at their option) convert their Convertible Senior Notes only upon satisfaction of one or more specific conditions. As of March 31, 2024, no holder had exercised these rights. On or after January 1, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes at the conversion rate at any time irrespective of the foregoing conditions.

Beginning on December 6, 2022, we may redeem for cash all or any part of the Convertible Senior Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of our Class C Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a price which will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Concurrently with the offering of the Convertible Senior Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, and Citibank, N.A. (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our Class C Common Stock upon any conversion of Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted Convertible Senior Notes upon any conversion thereof, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $13.4750 per share of our Class C Common Stock, representing a premium of 75% above the last reported sale price of our Class C Common Stock on May 21, 2020, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

3.250% Senior Notes

In June 2016, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2026 (the "Senior Notes"). The proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, at the time. The Senior Notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 3.250% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning December 15, 2016. Prior to March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), we may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed or a "make-whole" amount applicable to such Senior Notes as described in the indenture governing the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants, including limitations that restrict our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to create or incur secured indebtedness and enter into sale and

leaseback transactions and our ability to consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our properties or assets to another person, in each case subject to material exceptions described in the indenture.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are often based on judgments, probabilities and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 606 ("ASC 606"). The amount of revenue recognized considers terms of sale that create variability in the amount of consideration that we ultimately expect to be entitled to in exchange for the products or services and is subject to an overall constraint that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods.

We record reductions to revenue at the time of the transaction for estimated customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts. We base these estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns, markdowns and allowances that have not yet been received by us. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which are inherently uncertain, may differ from our estimates. If we determine that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves we established, we would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to net sales in the period in which we make such a determination. Provisions for customer specific discounts are based on contractual obligations with certain major customers. Reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts are included within customer refund liability and the value of inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were $139.3 million and $160.5 million, respectively, in reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts within customer refund liability and $29.5 million and $40.7 million, respectively, as the estimated value of inventory associated with the reserves for sales returns within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Losses - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We make ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the reserve, we consider historical levels of credit losses and significant economic developments within the retail environment that could impact the ability of our customers to pay outstanding balances and make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. Because we cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from estimates. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger reserve might be required. In the event we determine a smaller or larger reserve is appropriate, we would record a benefit or charge to selling, general and administrative expense in the period in which such a determination was made. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $15.0 million and $10.8 million, respectively.

Inventory Valuation and Reserves

Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. Costs of finished goods inventories include all costs incurred to bring inventory to its current condition, including inbound freight, duties and other costs. We value our inventory at standard cost which approximates landed cost, using the first-in, first-out method of cost determination. Net realizable value is estimated based upon assumptions made about future demand and retail market conditions. If we determine that the estimated net realizable value of our inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, we record a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those that we projected, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the inventory reserve was $44.2 million and $34.8 million, respectively.

Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and are allocated to the reporting units that are expected to receive the related benefits. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized and are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In conducting an annual impairment test, we first review qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that is the case, we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. We compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. We estimate fair value using the discounted cash flows model, under the income approach, which indicates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows that we expect the reporting unit to generate in the future. Our significant estimates in the discounted cash flows model include: our weighted average cost of capital, long-term rate of growth and profitability of the reporting unit's business, and working capital effects. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is impaired to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.

We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. These factors may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated cash flows. When factors indicate that an asset should be evaluated for possible impairment, we review long-lived assets to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. If future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment is recognized in earnings to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities at tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances when necessary.

Income taxes include the largest amount of tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. Settlements with tax authorities, the expiration of statutes of limitations for particular tax positions or obtaining new information on particular tax positions may cause a change to the effective tax rate.

Assessing whether deferred tax assets are realizable requires significant judgment. We consider all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating performance and expectations of future operating performance. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is often dependent upon future taxable income and therefore can be uncertain. To the extent we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized, valuation allowances are established against our deferred tax assets, which increase income tax expense in the period when such a determination is made.

Stock-Based Compensation

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. In addition, compensation expense for performance-based awards is recorded over the related service period when achievement of the performance targets is deemed probable, which requires management judgment.
