The earnings call highlighted progress in certain regions such as EMEA, improvements in gross margin, and effective cost management through SG&A reductions. However, these positives were overshadowed by revenue declines in key markets, significant challenges in the footwear segment, and the impact of new tariffs on profitability. The sentiment reflects a company in transformation, facing both external macro challenges and internal strategic shifts.
Company Guidance -
Q3 2026
During the Under Armour Q1 2026 earnings call, CEO Kevin Plank provided guidance emphasizing a strategic transformation aimed at boosting brand health and long-term shareholder value. Under Armour is focusing on simplifying operations by reducing SKUs by 25% and cutting materials by 30% for the 2025 product lineup, with plans for further reductions in 2026. The brand is adopting a new category management operating model to enhance product execution and pricing, aiming to elevate average selling prices (ASPs) across key items. Despite facing challenges from additional tariff costs estimated at $100 million for fiscal 2026 and softer demand, the company remains committed to strengthening its brand, particularly in North America, APAC, and EMEA regions. The call also highlighted a focus on enhancing digital engagement, improving the DTC experience, and leveraging AI for more efficient operations. Adjusted operating income for fiscal 2026 is expected to be about half of the previous year’s due to these pressures, but the company remains optimistic about future growth driven by strategic investments and improved brand positioning.
