BUSINESS
|
General
Our principal business activities are the development, marketing and distribution of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and youth. The brand’s moisture-wicking fabrications are engineered in many designs and styles for wear in nearly every climate to provide a performance alternative to traditional products. Our products are sold worldwide and are worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.
Our net revenues are generated primarily from the wholesale sales of our products to national, regional, independent and specialty retailers. We also generate net revenue from the sale of our products through our direct to consumer sales channel, which includes our brand and factory house stores and websites, and from product licensing. A large majority of our products are sold in North America; however we believe that our products appeal to athletes and consumers with active lifestyles around the globe. Internationally, our net revenues are generated from a mix of wholesale sales to retailers, sales to distributors and sales through our direct to consumer sales channels in over
fifteen
countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. In addition, a third party licensee sells our products in Japan and Korea. We plan to continue to grow our business over the long term through increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories, expansion of our wholesale distribution, growth in our direct to consumer sales channel and expansion in international markets. Virtually all of our products are manufactured by unaffiliated manufacturers operating primarily in
19
countries outside of the United States.
In December 2013, we acquired MapMyFitness, Inc. (“MapMyFitness”), a digital connected fitness platform with a community of over 20 million registered users. We plan to engage and grow this community through the development of innovative digital products that enable users to lead healthier lifestyles. We also believe this platform and community will increase awareness and sales of our existing product offerings through our North American wholesale and direct to consumer channels.
We were incorporated as a Maryland corporation in 1996. As used in this report, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Under Armour” and the “Company” refer to Under Armour, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. We have registered trademarks around the globe, including UNDER ARMOUR
®
, HEATGEAR
®
, COLDGEAR
®
, ALLSEASONGEAR
®
and the Under Armour UA Logo, and we have applied to register many other trademarks. This Annual Report on Form 10-K also contains additional trademarks and tradenames of our Company and our subsidiaries. All trademarks and tradenames appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are the property of their respective holders.
Products
Our product offerings consist of apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and youth. We market our products at multiple price levels and provide consumers with products that we believe are a superior alternative to traditional athletic products. In
2013
, sales of apparel, footwear and accessories represented
76%
,
13%
and
9%
of net revenues, respectively. Licensing arrangements, primarily for the sale of our products, represented the remaining
2%
of net revenues. Refer to Note
16
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for net revenues by product.
Apparel
Our apparel is offered in a variety of styles and fits intended to enhance comfort and mobility, regulate body temperature and improve performance regardless of weather conditions. Our apparel is engineered to replace traditional non-performance fabrics in the world of athletics and fitness with performance alternatives designed and merchandised along gearlines. Our three gearlines are marketed to tell a very simple story about our highly technical products and extend across the sporting goods, outdoor and active lifestyle markets. We market our apparel for consumers to choose HEATGEAR
®
when it is hot, COLDGEAR
®
when it is cold and ALLSEASONGEAR
®
between the extremes. Within each gearline our apparel comes in three primary fit types: compression (tight fit), fitted (athletic fit) and loose (relaxed).
HEATGEAR
®
is designed to be worn in warm to hot temperatures under equipment or as a single layer. While a sweat-soaked traditional non-performance T-shirt can weigh two to three pounds, HEATGEAR
®
is engineered with a microfiber blend designed to wick moisture from the body which helps the body stay cool, dry and light. We offer HEATGEAR
®
in a variety of tops and bottoms in a broad array of colors and styles for wear in the gym or outside in warm weather.
1
COLDGEAR
®
is designed to wick moisture from the body while circulating body heat from hot spots to help maintain core body temperature. Our COLDGEAR
®
apparel provides both dryness and warmth in a single light layer that can be worn beneath a jersey, uniform, protective gear or ski-vest, and our COLDGEAR
®
outerwear products protect the athlete, as well as the coach and the fan from the outside in. Our COLDGEAR
®
products generally sell at higher prices than our other gearlines.
ALLSEASONGEAR
®
is designed to be worn in between extreme temperatures and uses technical fabrics to keep the wearer cool and dry in warmer temperatures while preventing a chill in cooler temperatures.
Footwear
We began offering footwear for men, women and youth in 2006, and each year we have expanded our footwear offerings. Our footwear offerings include football, baseball, lacrosse, softball and soccer cleats, slides, performance training footwear, running footwear, basketball footwear and hunting boots. Our footwear is light, breathable and built with performance attributes for athletes. Our footwear is designed with innovative technologies which provide stabilization, directional cushioning and moisture management engineered to maximize the athlete’s comfort and control.
Accessories
Accessories primarily includes the sale of headwear, bags and gloves. Our accessories include HEATGEAR® and COLDGEAR® technologies and are designed with advanced fabrications to provide the same level of performance as our other products.
License and Other
We also have agreements with our licensees to develop Under Armour apparel and accessories. Our product, marketing and sales teams are actively involved in all steps of the design process in order to maintain brand standards and consistency. During
2013
, our licensees offered socks, team uniforms, baby and kids’ apparel, eyewear and inflatable footballs and basketballs that feature performance advantages and functionality similar to our other product offerings.
In December 2013, we acquired MapMyFitness, which offers digital fitness platform licenses and subscriptions, along with digital advertising. License revenues generated from the sale of apparel and accessories and the use of the MapMyFitness platform are included in our net revenues.
Marketing and Promotion
We currently focus on marketing and selling our products to consumers primarily for use in athletics, fitness, training and outdoor activities. We seek to drive consumer demand by building brand equity and awareness that our products deliver advantages that help athletes perform better.
Sports Marketing
Our marketing and promotion strategy begins with providing and selling our products to high-performing athletes and teams on the high school, collegiate and professional levels. We execute this strategy through outfitting agreements, professional and collegiate sponsorships, individual athlete agreements and by providing and selling our products directly to team equipment managers and to individual athletes. As a result, our products are seen on the field, giving them exposure to various consumer audiences through the internet, television, magazines and live at sporting events. This exposure to consumers helps us establish on-field authenticity as consumers can see our products being worn by high-performing athletes.
We are the official outfitter of athletic teams in several high-profile collegiate conferences. We are an official supplier of footwear and gloves to the National Football League (“NFL”) and we are the official combine scouting partner to the NFL with the right to sell combine training apparel beginning in 2012. In addition, in 2011 we became the Official Performance Footwear Supplier of Major League Baseball and became a partner with the National Basketball Association (“NBA”) which allows us to market our NBA athletes in game uniforms in connection with our basketball footwear.
Internationally, we are providing and selling our products to European soccer and rugby teams. Beginning with the 2012 season, we provide the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club with performance apparel, including training wear and playing kit for the Club’s First and Academy teams, together with replica product for the Club’s supporters around the world. We are the official technical kit supplier to the Welsh Rugby Union and have exclusive retail rights on the replica products. Beginning in 2014, we became the official kit supplier of the Chilean football club, Corporación Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo.
We also seek to sponsor events to drive awareness and brand authenticity from a grassroots level. We host combines, camps and clinics for many sports at regional sites across the country for male and female athletes. These events, along with the
2
products we make, are designed to help young athletes improve their training methods and their overall performance. We are also the title sponsor of a collection of high school All-America Games that create significant on-field product and brand exposure that contributes to our on-field authenticity.
Media
We feature our products in a variety of national digital, broadcast, and print media outlets. We also utilize social marketing to engage consumers and promote conversation around our brand and our products.
Retail Presentation
The primary component of our retail marketing strategy is to increase and brand floor space dedicated to our products within our major retail accounts. The design and funding of Under Armour concept shops within our major retail accounts has been a key initiative for securing prime floor space, educating the consumer and creating an exciting environment for the consumer to experience our brand. Under Armour concept shops enhance our brand’s presentation within our major retail accounts with a shop-in-shop approach, using dedicated floor space exclusively for our products, including flooring, lighting, walls, displays and images.
Sales and Distribution
The majority of our sales are generated through wholesale channels, which include national and regional sporting goods chains, independent and specialty retailers, department store chains, institutional athletic departments and leagues and teams. In addition, we sell our products to independent distributors in various countries where we generally do not have direct sales operations and through licensees.
We also sell our products directly to consumers through our own network of brand and factory house stores in our North America and Asia operating segments, and through our website operations in North America and certain countries in Europe. These factory house stores serve an important role in our overall inventory management by allowing us to sell a significant portion of excess, discontinued and out-of-season products while maintaining the pricing integrity of our brand in our other distribution channels. Through our brand house stores, consumers experience our brand first-hand and have broader access to our performance products. In
2013
, sales through our wholesale, direct to consumer and licensing channels represented
68%
,
30%
and
2%
of net revenues, respectively.
We believe the trend toward performance products is global and plan to continue to introduce our products and simple merchandising story to athletes throughout the world. We are introducing our performance apparel, footwear and accessories outside of North America in a manner consistent with our past brand-building strategy, including selling our products directly to teams and individual athletes in these markets, thereby providing us with product exposure to broad audiences of potential consumers.
Our primary business operates in four geographic segments: (1) North America, comprising the United States and Canada, (2) Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), (3) Asia, and (4) Latin America. Each of these geographic segments operate predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and distribution of performance apparel, footwear and accessories. Beginning in December 2013, we also operate our acquired MapMyFitness business as a separate segment. As our international and MapMyFitness operating segments are currently not material, we combine them into other foreign countries and businesses for reporting purposes.

North America
North America accounted for
94%
of our net revenues for
2013
. We sell our branded apparel, footwear and accessories in North America through our wholesale and direct to consumer channels. Net revenues generated from the sales of our products in United States were $
2,082.5 million
, $
1,650.4 million
and $
1,325.8 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively, and substantially all of our long-lived assets were located in the United States. In
2013
, our
two
largest
3
customers were, in alphabetical order, Dick’s Sporting Goods and The Sports Authority. These two customers accounted for a total of
22%
of our total net revenues in
2013
, and one of these customers individually accounted for at least 10% of our net revenues in
2013
.
Our direct to consumer sales are generated primarily through our brand and factory house stores and websites. As of
December 31, 2013
, we had 117 factory house stores in North America, of which the majority is located in outlet centers throughout the United States. As of
December 31, 2013
, we had 6 brand house stores in North America. Consumers can purchase our products directly from our e-commerce website, www.underarmour.com.
In addition, we earn licensing income in North America based on our licensees’ sale of socks, team uniforms, baby and kids’ apparel, eyewear and inflatable footballs and basketballs, as well as the distribution of our products to college bookstores and golf pro shops. In order to maintain consistent quality and performance, we pre-approve all products manufactured and sold by our licensees, and our quality assurance team strives to ensure that the products meet the same quality and compliance standards as the products that we sell directly.
We distribute the majority of our products sold to our North American wholesale customers and our brand and factory house stores from distribution facilities we lease and operate in California and Maryland. In addition, we distribute our products in North America through third-party logistics providers with primary locations in Canada, New Jersey and Florida. In some instances, we arrange to have products shipped from the independent factories that manufacture our products directly to customer-designated facilities.
Other Foreign Countries and Businesses
Approximately
6%
of our net revenues were generated outside of North America and though our acquired MapMyFitness business. We plan to continue to grow our business over the long term in part through expansion in international markets.
EMEA
We sell our apparel, footwear and accessories through retailers and our websites in certain European countries. We also sell our apparel, footwear and accessories to independent distributors in various European countries where we do not have direct sales operations. In addition, we sell our branded products to various sports clubs and teams in Europe. In 2012, we began selling the United Kingdom's Tottenham Hotspur Football Club replica product for the Club’s supporters around the world.
We generally distribute our products to our retail customers and e-commerce consumers in EMEA through a third-party logistics provider based out of Venlo, The Netherlands. This agreement continues until 2015.
Asia
Since 2002 we have had a license agreement with Dome Corporation, which produces, markets and sells our branded apparel, footwear and accessories in Japan and Korea. We are actively involved with this licensee to develop variations of our products for the different sizes, sports interests and preferences of Japanese and Korean consumers. Our branded products are sold in Japan and Korea to independent specialty stores and large sporting goods retailers and to professional sports teams. We made a cost-based minority investment in Dome Corporation in January 2011.
We also sell our apparel, footwear and accessories to independent distributors in Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan where we do not have direct sales operations.
We sell our products in China through a limited number of brand and factory house stores we directly operate and stores operated by our franchise partners, primarily located in Shanghai and Beijing, China. We also distribute our products to our retail customers in Asia through a third-party logistics provider based out of Hong Kong.
Latin America
We sell to Latin American consumers through independent distributors in Latin American countries where we do not have direct sales operations. We generally distribute our products in this region through our distribution facilities in the United States.
In June 2013, we signed an agreement to acquire certain assets of our distributor in Mexico. Following the close of the acquisition in January 2014, we began selling our products in Mexico directly rather than through a distributor. In 2014, we will begin selling our products directly in Brazil and Chile.
4
MapMyFitness
In December 2013, we acquired MapMyFitness, which offers digital fitness platform licenses and subscriptions, along with digital advertising.
Seasonality
Historically, we have recognized a majority of our net revenues and a significant portion of our income from operations in the last two quarters of the year, driven primarily by increased sales volume of our products during the fall selling season, including our higher priced cold weather products, along with a larger proportion of higher margin direct to consumer sales. The level of our working capital generally reflects the seasonality and growth in our business.
We generally expect inventory, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses to be higher in the second and third quarters in preparation for the fall selling season.
Product Design and Development
Our products are manufactured with technical fabrications produced by third parties and developed in collaboration with our product development team. This approach enables us to select and create superior, technically advanced fabrics, produced to our specifications, while focusing our product development efforts on design, fit, climate and product end use.
We seek to regularly upgrade and improve our products with the latest in innovative technology while broadening our product offerings. Our goal, to deliver superior performance in all our products, provides our developers and licensees with a clear, overarching direction for the brand and helps them identify new opportunities to create performance products that meet the changing needs of athletes. We design products with “visible technology,” utilizing color, texture and fabrication to enhance our customers’ perception and understanding of product use and benefits.
Our product development team works closely with our sports marketing and sales teams as well as professional and collegiate athletes to identify product trends and deter
mine market needs. For example, these teams worked closely to identify the opportunity and market for our CHARGED COTTON
®
products, which are made from natural cotton but perform like our synthetic products, drying faster and wicking away moisture from the body, and our Storm Fleece products with a unique, water-resistant finish that repels water, without stifling airflow. In 2013, we introduced ColdGear® Infrared, a ceramic print technology on the inside of our garments that provides athletes with lightweight warmth.
Sourcing, Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
Many of the specialty fabrics and other raw materials used in our products are technically advanced products developed by third parties and may be available, in the short term, from a limited number of sources. The fabric and other raw materials used to manufacture our products are sourced by our manufacturers from a limited number of suppliers pre-approved by us. In
2013
, approximately
50%
to
55%
of the fabric used in our products came from
six
suppliers. These fabric suppliers have primary locations in
China, Malaysia, Mexico, Taiwan and Vietnam
. We strengthened our relations with key strategic suppliers in 2013, while also continuing to seek new suppliers to diversify our source base. The fabrics used by our suppliers and manufacturers are primarily synthetic fabrics and involve raw materials, including petroleum based products that may be subject to price fluctuations and shortages. CHARGED COTTON
®
products that we introduced in 2011 continue to perform strongly in the market. This product primarily uses cotton fabrics that may also be subject to commodity price fluctuations and shortages.
Substantially all of our products are manufactured by unaffiliated manufacturers and, in
2013
,
fourteen
manufacturers produced approximately
65%
of our products, with primary locations in Jordan, Philippines, China, Nicaragua. Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras. In
2013
, our products were manufactured by
26
primary manufacturers, operating in
19
countries, with approximately
66%
of our products manufactured in
Asia
,
14%
in
Central and South America
,
15%
in
the Middle East
and
5%
in
Mexico
. All manufacturers are evaluated for quality systems, social compliance and financial strength by our quality assurance team prior to being selected and on an ongoing basis. Where appropriate, we strive to qualify multiple manufacturers for particular product types and fabrications. We also seek out vendors that can perform multiple manufacturing stages, such as procuring raw materials and providing finished products, which helps us to control our cost of goods sold. We enter into a variety of agreements with our manufacturers, including non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, and we require that all of our manufacturers adhere to a code of conduct regarding quality of manufacturing and working conditions and other social concerns. We do not, however, have any long term agreements requiring us to utilize any manufacturer, and no manufacturer is required to produce our products in the long term. We have a subsidiary in Hong Kong to support our manufacturing, quality assurance and sourcing efforts for apparel and a subsidiary in
5
Guangzhou, China to support our manufacturing, quality assurance and sourcing efforts for footwear and accessories. We also manufacture a limited number of apparel products, primarily for high-profile athletes and teams, on-premises in our quick turn, Special Make-Up Shop located at one of our distribution facilities in Maryland.
Inventory Management
Inventory management is important to the financial condition and operating results of our business. We manage our inventory levels based on existing orders, anticipated sales and the rapid-delivery requirements of our customers.
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 to systems and processes, key areas of focus that we believe will enhance inventory performance are added discipline around the purchasing of product, production lead time reduction, and better planning and execution in selling of excess inventory through our factory house stores and other liquidation channels.
Our practice, and the general practice in the apparel, footwear and accessory industries, is to offer retail customers the right to return defective or improperly shipped merchandise. As it relates to new product introductions, which can often require large initial launch shipments, we commence production before receiving orders for those products from time to time. This can affect our inventory levels as we build pre-launch quantities.
Intellectual Property
We believe we own the material trademarks used in connection with the marketing, distribution and sale of our products, both domestically and internationally, where our products are currently sold or manufactured. Our major trademarks include the UA Logo and UNDER ARMOUR
®
, both of which are registered in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Japan, China and numerous other countries. We also own trademark registrations for other trademarks including, among others, UA
®
, ARMOUR
®
, HEATGEAR
®
, COLDGEAR
®
, ALLSEASONGEAR
®
, PROTECT THIS HOUSE
®
, I WILL
®
, and many trademarks that incorporate the term ARMOUR such as ARMOUR39
®
, ARMOURBITE
®
, ARMOURLOFT
®
, ARMOURSTORM
®
, ARMOUR FLEECE
®
, and ARMOUR BRA
®
. We also own domain names for our primary trademarks (most notably underarmour.com and ua.com) and hold copyright registrations for several commercials, as well as for certain artwork. We intend to continue to strategically register, both domestically and internationally, trademarks and copyrights we utilize today and those we develop in the future. We will continue to aggressively police our trademarks and pursue those who infringe, both domestically and internationally.
We believe the distinctive trademarks we use in connection with our products are important in building our brand image and distinguishing our products from those of others. These trademarks are among our most valuable assets. In addition to our distinctive trademarks, we also place significant value on our trade dress, which is the overall image and appearance of our products, and we believe our trade dress helps to distinguish our products in the marketplace.
We traditionally have had limited patent protection on much of the technology, materials and processes used in the manufacture of our products. However, as we continue to drive innovation in our products, we expect to seek patent protection on products, features and concepts we believe to be strategic and important to our business. We will continue to file patent applications where we deem appropriate to protect our innovations and designs, and we expect the number of applications to increase as our business grows and as we continue to innovate.
Competition
The market for performance apparel, footwear and accessories is highly competitive and includes many new competitors as well as increased competition from established companies expanding their production and marketing of performance products. Many of the fabrics and technology used in manufacturing our products are not unique to us, and we own a limited number of fabric or process patents. Many of our competitors are large apparel and footwear companies with strong worldwide brand recognition and significantly greater resources than us, such as Nike and adidas. We also compete with other manufacturers, including those specializing in outdoor apparel, and private label offerings of certain retailers, including some of our retail customers.
In addition, we must compete with others for purchasing decisions, as well as limited floor space at retailers. We believe we have been successful in this area because of the relationships we have developed and as a result of the strong sales of our products. However, if retailers earn higher margins from our competitors’ products, they may favor the display and sale of those products.
6
We believe we have been able to compete successfully because of our brand image and recognition, the performance and quality of our products and our selective distribution policies. We also believe our focused gearline merchandising story differentiates us from our competition. In the future we expect to compete for consumer preferences and expect that we may face greater competition on pricing. This may favor larger competitors with lower production costs per unit that can spread the effect of price discounts across a larger array of products and across a larger customer base than ours. The purchasing decisions of consumers for our products often reflect highly subjective preferences that can be influenced by many factors, including advertising, media, product sponsorships, product improvements and changing styles.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2013
, we had approximately seventy-eight hundred employees, including approximately five thousand in our brand and factory house stores and nine hundred seventy at our distribution facilities. Approximately thirty three hundred of our employees were full-time. Most of our employees are located in the United States. None of our employees in the United States are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement and there are no material collective bargaining agreements in effect in any of our international locations. We have had no labor-related work stoppages, and we believe our relations with our employees are good.

Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by numerous risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors detailed below in conjunction with the other information contained in this Form 10-K. Should any of these risks actually materialize, our business, financial condition and future prospects could be negatively impacted.
8
During a downturn in the economy, consumer purchases of discretionary items are affected, which could materially harm our sales, profitability and financial condition.
Many of our products may be considered discretionary items for consumers. Factors affecting the level of consumer spending for such discretionary items include general economic conditions, the availability of consumer credit and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Uncertainty in global economic conditions continues, and trends in consumer discretionary spending remain unpredictable. However, consumer purchases of discretionary items tend to decline during recessionary periods when disposable income is lower or during other periods of economic instability or uncertainty. A downturn in the economy in markets in which we sell our products may materially harm our sales, profitability and financial condition.
If the financial condition of our retail customers declines, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
We extend credit to our customers based on an assessment of a customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. We face increased risk of order reduction or cancellation when dealing with financially ailing customers or customers struggling with economic uncertainty. During weak economic conditions, retail customers may be more cautious with orders. In addition, a slowing economy in our key markets or a continued decline in consumer purchases of sporting goods generally could have an adverse effect on the financial health of our retail customers, which could in turn have an adverse effect on our sales, our ability to collect on receivables and our financial condition.
A decline in sales to, or the loss of, one or more of our key customers could result in a material loss of net revenues and negatively impact our prospects for growth.
In
2013
, approximately
22%
of our net revenues were generated from sales to our
two
largest customers. We currently do not enter into long term sales contracts with these or our other key customers, relying instead on our relationships with these customers and on our position in the marketplace. As a result, we face the risk that one or more of these key customers may not increase their business with us as we expect, or may significantly decrease their business with us or terminate their relationship with us. The failure to increase our sales to these customers as much as we anticipate would have a negative impact on our growth prospects and any decrease or loss of these key customers’ business could result in a material decrease in our net revenues and net income.
If we continue to grow at a rapid pace, we may not be able to effectively manage our growth and the increased complexity of a global business and as a result our brand image, net revenues and profitability may decline.
We have expanded our operations rapidly since our inception and our net revenues have increased to
$2,332.1 million
in
2013
from
$856.4 million
in
2009
. If our operations continue to grow at a rapid pace, we may experience difficulties in obtaining sufficient raw materials and manufacturing capacity to produce our products, as well as delays in production and shipments, as our products are subject to risks associated with overseas sourcing and manufacturing. We could be required to continue to expand our sales and marketing, product development and distribution functions, to upgrade our management information systems and other processes and technology, and to obtain more space to support our expanding workforce. This expansion could increase the strain on these and other resources, and we could experience serious operating difficulties, including difficulties in hiring, training and managing an increasing number of employees. In addition, as our business becomes more complex through the introduction of more new products and the expansion of our distribution channels, including additional brand and factory house stores and expanded distribution in malls and department stores, and expanded international distribution, these operational strains and other difficulties could increase. These difficulties could result in the erosion of our brand image and a decrease in net revenues and net income.
If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences and successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our net revenues and profitability.
Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. All of our products are subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, long lead times for certain of our products may make it hard for us to quickly respond to changes in consumer demands. Our new products may not receive consumer acceptance as consumer preferences could shift rapidly to different types of performance or other sports products or away from these types of products altogether, and our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes. Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower sales and excess inventory levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
9
Even if we are successful in anticipating consumer preferences, our ability to adequately react to and address those preferences will in part depend upon our continued ability to develop and introduce innovative, high-quality products. In addition, if we fail to introduce technical innovation in our products, consumer demand for our products could decline, and if we experience problems with the quality of our products, we may incur substantial expense to remedy the problems. The failure to effectively introduce new products and enter into new product categories that are accepted by consumers could result in a decrease in net revenues and excess inventory levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Our results of operations could be materially harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our products.
To ensure adequate inventory supply, we must forecast inventory needs and place orders with our manufacturers before firm orders are placed by our customers. In addition, a significant portion of our net revenues are generated by at-once orders for immediate delivery to customers, particularly during our historical peak season, during the last two quarters of the year. If we fail to accurately forecast customer demand we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product to deliver to our customers.
Factors that could affect our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products include:
|
•
|
an increase or decrease in consumer demand for our products;
|
|
•
|
our failure to accurately forecast consumer acceptance for our new products;
|
|
•
|
product introductions by competitors;
|
|
•
|
unanticipated changes in general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction or increase in the rate of reorders placed by retailers;
|
|
•
|
the impact on consumer demand due to unseasonable weather conditions;
|
|
•
|
weakening of economic conditions or consumer confidence in future economic conditions, which could reduce demand for discretionary items, such as our products; and
|
|
•
|
terrorism or acts of war, or the threat thereof, or political or labor instability or unrest which could adversely affect consumer confidence and spending or interrupt production and distribution of product and raw materials.
|
Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which could impair our brand image and have an adverse effect on gross margin. In addition, if we underestimate the demand for our products, our manufacturers may not be able to produce products to meet our customer requirements, and this could result in delays in the shipment of our products and our ability to recognize revenue, as well as damage to our reputation and retailer and distributor relationships.
The difficulty in forecasting demand also makes it difficult to estimate our future results of operations and financial condition from period to period. A failure to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could adversely impact our profitability.
Sales of performance products may not continue to grow and this could adversely impact our ability to grow our business.
We believe continued growth in industry-wide sales of performance apparel, footwear and accessories will be largely dependent on consumers continuing to transition from traditional alternatives to performance products. If consumers are not convinced these products are a better choice than traditional alternatives, growth in the industry and our business could be adversely affected. In addition, because performance products are often more expensive than traditional alternatives, consumers who are convinced these products provide a better alternative may still not be convinced they are worth the extra cost. If industry-wide sales of performance products do not grow, our ability to continue to grow our business and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely impacted.
We operate in a highly competitive market and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our net revenues and gross profit.
The market for performance apparel, footwear and accessories is highly competitive and includes many new competitors as well as increased competition from established companies expanding their production and marketing of performance products. Because we own a limited number of fabric or process patents, our current and future competitors are able to manufacture and sell products with performance characteristics and fabrications similar to certain of our products. Many of our
10
competitors are large apparel and footwear companies with strong worldwide brand recognition. Due to the fragmented nature of the industry, we also compete with other manufacturers, including those specializing in outdoor apparel and private label offerings of certain retailers, including some of our retail customers. Many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including greater financial, distribution, marketing and other resources, longer operating histories, better brand recognition among consumers, more experience in global markets and greater economies of scale. In addition, our competitors have long term relationships with our key retail customers that are potentially more important to those customers because of the significantly larger volume and product mix that our competitors sell to them. As a result, these competitors may be better equipped than we are to influence consumer preferences or otherwise increase their market share by:
|
•
|
quickly adapting to changes in customer requirements;
|
|
•
|
readily taking advantage of acquisition and other opportunities;
|
|
•
|
discounting excess inventory that has been written down or written off;
|
|
•
|
devoting resources to the marketing and sale of their products, including significant advertising, media placement, partnerships and product endorsement;
|
|
•
|
adopting aggressive pricing policies; and
|
|
•
|
engaging in lengthy and costly intellectual property and other disputes.
|
In addition, while one of our growth strategies is to increase floor space for our products in retail stores and generally expand our distribution to other retailers, retailers have limited resources and floor space, and we must compete with others to develop relationships with them. Increased competition by existing and future competitors could result in reductions in floor space in retail locations, reductions in sales or reductions in the prices of our products, and if retailers earn greater margins from our competitors’ products, they may favor the display and sale of those products. Our inability to compete successfully against our competitors and maintain our gross margin could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our profitability may decline as a result of increasing pressure on margins.
Our industry is subject to significant pricing pressure caused by many factors, including intense competition, consolidation in the retail industry, pressure from retailers to reduce the costs of products and changes in consumer demand. These factors may cause us to reduce our prices to retailers and consumers, which could cause our profitability to decline if we are unable to offset price reductions with comparable reductions in our operating costs. This could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in the cost of products could negatively affect our operating results.
The fabrics used by our suppliers and manufacturers are made of raw materials including petroleum-based products and cotton. Significant price fluctuations or shortages in petroleum or other raw materials can materially adversely affect our cost of goods sold. In addition, certain of our manufacturers are subject to government regulations related to wage rates, and therefore the labor costs to produce our products may fluctuate. The cost of transporting our products for distribution and sale is also subject to fluctuation due in large part to the price of oil. Because most of our products are manufactured abroad, our products must be transported by third parties over large geographical distances and an increase in the price of oil can significantly increase costs. Manufacturing delays or unexpected transportation delays can also cause us to rely more heavily on airfreight to achieve timely delivery to our customers, which significantly increases freight costs. Any of these fluctuations may increase our cost of products and have an adverse effect on our profit margins, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to provide fabrics for and to produce our products, and we have limited control over these suppliers and manufacturers and may not be able to obtain quality products on a timely basis or in sufficient quantity.
Many of the specialty fabrics used in our products are technically advanced textile products developed by third parties and may be available, in the short-term, from a very limited number of sources. Substantially all of our products are manufactured by unaffiliated manufacturers, and, in
2013
,
fourteen
manufacturers produced approximately
65%
of our products. We have no long term contracts with our suppliers or manufacturing sources, and we compete with other companies for fabrics, raw materials, production and import quota capacity.
We may experience a significant disruption in the supply of fabrics or raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, we may be unable to locate alternative materials suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all. In addition, our unaffiliated manufacturers may not be able to fill our orders in a timely manner. If we experience
11
significant increased demand, or we lose or need to replace an existing manufacturer or supplier as a result of adverse economic conditions or other reasons, additional supplies of fabrics or raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity may not be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or suppliers or manufacturers may not be able to allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing or fabric sources, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our suppliers and manufacturers on our methods, products and quality control standards. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of fabric or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet retail customer and consumer demand for our products and result in lower net revenues and net income both in the short and long term.
We have occasionally received, and may in the future continue to receive, shipments of product that fail to conform to our quality control standards. In that event, unless we are able to obtain replacement products in a timely manner, we risk the loss of net revenues resulting from the inability to sell those products and related increased administrative and shipping costs. In addition, because we do not control our manufacturers, products that fail to meet our standards or other unauthorized products could end up in the marketplace without our knowledge, which could harm our brand and our reputation in the marketplace.
Labor disruptions at ports or our suppliers or manufacturers may adversely affect our business.
Our business depends on our ability to source and distribute products in a timely manner. As a result, we rely on the free flow of goods through open and operational ports worldwide and on a consistent basis from our suppliers and manufacturers. Labor disputes at various ports or at our suppliers or manufacturers create significant risks for our business, particularly if these disputes result in work slowdowns, lockouts, strikes or other disruptions during our peak importing or manufacturing seasons, and could have an adverse effect on our business, potentially resulting in canceled orders by customers, unanticipated inventory accumulation or shortages and reduced net revenues and net income.
Our limited operating experience and limited brand recognition in new markets may limit our expansion strategy and cause our business and growth to suffer.
Our future growth depends in part on our expansion efforts outside of the North America. During the year ended
December 31, 2013
,
94%
of our net revenues were earned in North America. We have limited experience with regulatory environments and market practices outside of North America, and may face difficulties in expanding to and successfully operating in markets outside of North America. International expansion may place increased demands on our operational, managerial and administrative resources. In addition, in connection with expansion efforts outside of North America, we may face cultural and linguistic differences, differences in regulatory environments, labor practices and market practices and difficulties in keeping abreast of market, business and technical developments and customers’ tastes and preferences. We may also encounter difficulty expanding into new markets because of limited brand recognition leading to delayed acceptance of our products. Failure to develop new markets outside of North America will limit our opportunities for growth.
The operations of many of our manufacturers are subject to additional risks that are beyond our control and that could harm our business.
In
2013
, our products were manufactured by
26
primary manufacturers, operating in
19
countries. Of these,
fourteen
manufactured approximately
65%
of our products, with primary locations in Jordan, Philippines, China, Nicaragua. Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras. During
2013
, approximately
66%
of our products were manufactured in
Asia
,
14%
in
Central and South America
,
15%
in
the Middle East
and
5%
in
Mexico
. As a result of our international manufacturing, we are subject to risks associated with doing business abroad, including:
|
•
|
political or labor unrest, terrorism and economic instability resulting in the disruption of trade from foreign countries in which our products are manufactured;
|
|
•
|
currency exchange fluctuations;
|
|
•
|
the imposition of new laws and regulations, including those relating to labor conditions, quality and safety standards, imports, trade restrictions and restrictions on the transfer of funds, as well as rules and regulations regarding climate change;
|
|
•
|
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
|
|
•
|
disruptions or delays in shipments; and
|
|
•
|
changes in local economic conditions in countries where our manufacturers and suppliers are located.
|
These risks could negatively affect the ability of our manufacturers to produce or deliver our products or procure materials, hamper our ability to sell products in international markets and increase our cost of doing business generally. In the
12
event that one or more of these factors make it undesirable or impractical for us to conduct business in a particular country, our business could be adversely affected.
In addition, many of our imported products are subject to duties, tariffs or other import limitations that affect the cost and quantity of various types of goods imported into the United States and other markets. Any country in which our products are produced or sold may eliminate, adjust or impose new import limitations, duties, anti-dumping penalties or other charges or restrictions, any of which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our revolving credit facility provides our lenders with a first-priority lien against substantially all of our assets and contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our actions, and it could therefore limit our operational flexibility or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.
We have, from time to time, financed our liquidity needs in part from borrowings made under a revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility provides for a committed revolving credit line of up to $
300.0 million
. The agreement for our revolving credit facility contains a number of restrictions that limit our ability, among other things, to:
|
•
|
use our accounts receivable, inventory, trademarks and most of our other assets as security in other borrowings or transactions;
|
|
•
|
incur additional indebtedness;
|
|
•
|
sell certain assets;
|
|
•
|
make certain investments;
|
|
•
|
guarantee certain obligations of third parties;
|
|
•
|
undergo a merger or consolidation; and
|
|
•
|
materially change our line of business.
|
Our revolving credit facility also provides the lenders with the ability to reduce the borrowing base, even if we are in compliance with all conditions of the revolving credit facility, upon a material adverse change to our business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we must maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. Failure to comply with these operating or financial covenants could result from, among other things, changes in our results of operations or general economic conditions. These covenants may restrict our ability to engage in transactions that would otherwise be in our best interests. Failure to comply with any of the covenants under the credit agreement could result in a default. In addition, the credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under certain other debt obligations will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement. A default under the credit agreement could cause the lenders to accelerate the timing of payments and exercise their lien on substantially all of our assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, because borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at variable interest rates, which we do not anticipate hedging against, increases in interest rates would increase our cost of borrowing, resulting in a decline in our net income and cash flow. As of December 31, 2013, we had $100.0 million drawn under our revolving credit facility and $200.0 million of availability.
We may need to raise additional capital required to grow our business, and we may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Growing and operating our business will require significant cash outlays and capital expenditures and commitments. If cash on hand and cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements, we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through debt or equity financing, to fund our growth. We may not be able to raise needed cash on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financing may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the current price per share of our common stock. The holders of new securities may also have rights, preferences or privileges which are senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If new sources of financing are required, but are insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on available funding, if any, which would harm our ability to grow our business.
Our operating results are subject to seasonal and quarterly variations in our net revenues and income from operations, which could adversely affect the price of our Class A Common Stock.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal and quarterly variations in our net revenues and income from operations. These variations are primarily related to increased sales volume of our products during the fall season,
13
including our higher price cold weather products. The majority of our net revenues were generated during the last two quarters in each of
2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively.
Our quarterly results of operations may also fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of other factors, including, among other things, the timing of marketing expenses and changes in our product mix. Variations in weather conditions may also have an adverse effect on our quarterly results of operations. For example, warmer than normal weather conditions throughout the fall or winter may reduce sales of our COLDGEAR
®
line, leaving us with excess inventory and operating results below our expectations.
As a result of these seasonal and quarterly fluctuations, we believe that comparisons of our operating results between different quarters within a single year are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. Any seasonal or quarterly fluctuations that we report in the future may not match the expectations of market analysts and investors. This could cause the price of our Class A Common Stock to fluctuate significantly.
The value of our brand and sales of our products could be diminished if we are associated with negative publicity.
We require our suppliers, manufacturers and licensees of our products to operate their businesses in compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to them as well as the social and other standards and policies we impose on them. We do not control these suppliers, manufacturers or licensees or their labor practices. A violation of our policies, labor laws or other laws by our suppliers, manufacturers or licensees could interrupt or otherwise disrupt our sourcing or damage our brand image. Negative publicity regarding the production methods of any of our suppliers, manufacturers or licensees could adversely affect our reputation and sales and force us to locate alternative suppliers, manufacturers or licensees.
In addition, we have sponsorship contracts with a variety of athletes and feature those athletes in our advertising and marketing efforts, and many athletes and teams use our products, including those teams or leagues for which we are an official supplier. Actions taken by athletes, teams or leagues associated with our products could harm the reputations of those athletes, teams or leagues. As a result, our brand image, net revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.
Sponsorships and designations as an official supplier may become more expensive and this could impact the value of our brand image.
A key element of our marketing strategy has been to create a link in the consumer market between our products and professional and collegiate athletes. We have developed licensing agreements to be the official supplier of performance apparel and footwear to a variety of sports teams and leagues at the collegiate and professional level and sponsorship agreements with athletes. However, as competition in the performance apparel and footwear industry has increased, the costs associated with athlete sponsorships and official supplier licensing agreements have increased, including the costs associated with obtaining and retaining these sponsorships and agreements. If we are unable to maintain our current association with professional and collegiate athletes, teams and leagues, or to do so at a reasonable cost, we could lose the on-field authenticity associated with our products, and we may be required to modify and substantially increase our marketing investments. As a result, our brand image, net revenues, expenses and profitability could be materially adversely affected.
Our failure to comply with trade and other regulations could lead to investigations or actions by government regulators and negative publicity.
The labeling, distribution, importation, marketing and sale of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Product Safety Commission and state attorneys general in the U.S., as well as by various other federal, state, provincial, local and international regulatory authorities in the locations in which our products are distributed or sold. If we fail to comply with those regulations, we could become subject to significant penalties or claims or be required to recall products, which could harm our brand as well as our results of operations or our ability to conduct our business. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may impair the marketing of our products, resulting in significant loss of net revenues.
Our international operations are also subject to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and other anti-bribery laws applicable to our operations. Although we have policies and procedures to address compliance with the FCPA and similar laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, agents and other partners will not take actions in violations of our policies. Any such violation could subject us to sanctions or other penalties that could negatively affect our reputation, business and operating results.
14
If we encounter problems with our distribution system, our ability to deliver our products to the market could be adversely affected.
We rely on a limited number of distribution facilities for our product distribution. Our distribution facilities utilize computer controlled and automated equipment, which means the operations are complicated and may be subject to a number of risks related to security or computer viruses, the proper operation of software and hardware, power interruptions or other system failures. In addition, because many of our products are distributed from two nearby locations in Maryland, our operations could also be interrupted by floods, fires or other natural disasters near our distribution facilities, as well as labor or other operational difficulties or interruptions. We maintain business interruption insurance, but it may not adequately protect us from the adverse effects that could be caused by significant disruptions in our distribution facilities, such as the long term loss of customers or an erosion of our brand image. In addition, our distribution capacity is dependent on the timely performance of services by third parties, including the shipping of product to and from our distribution facilities. If we encounter problems with our distribution facilities, our ability to meet customer expectations, manage inventory, complete sales and achieve objectives for operating efficiencies could be materially adversely affected.
We rely significantly on information technology and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business.
Our ability to effectively manage and maintain our inventory and internal reports, and to ship products to customers and invoice them on a timely basis depends significantly on our enterprise resource planning, warehouse management, and other information systems. The failure of these systems to operate effectively or to integrate with other systems, or a breach in security of these systems could cause delays in product fulfillment and reduced efficiency of our operations, and it could require significant capital investments to remediate any such failure, problem or breach.
Hackers and data thieves are increasingly sophisticated and operate large scale and complex automated attacks. We communicate electronically throughout the world with our employees and with third parties, such as customers, suppliers, vendors and consumers. Therefore a service interruption or shutdown could negatively impact our operating activities. Furthermore, we engage in personal data collection and utilize information technology in connection with digital marketing, digital commerce, our in-store payment processing systems and our connected fitness business. We must comply with increasingly complex regulatory standards enacted to protect this business and personal data. An inability to maintain compliance with these regulatory standards could subject us to legal risks. Any breach of our network or payment processing systems may result in the loss of valuable business data, our customers’, consumers' or employees’ information or a disruption of our business, which could give rise to unwanted media attention, damage our customer or consumer relationships and reputation and result in lost sales, fines or lawsuits.
Changes in tax laws and unanticipated tax liabilities could adversely affect our effective income tax rate and profitability.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate could be adversely affected in the future by a number of factors, including changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, the outcome of income tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world, and any repatriation of non-US earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes. We regularly assess all of these matters to determine the adequacy of our tax provision, which is subject to significant judgment.
Our financial results may be adversely affected if substantial investments in businesses and operations fail to produce expected returns.
From time to time, we may invest in business infrastructure, new businesses, and expansion of existing businesses, such as our recent acquisition of MapMyFitness and certain assets of our distributor in Mexico. These investments require substantial cash investments and management attention. We believe cost effective investments are essential to business growth and profitability. However, significant investments are subject to typical risks and uncertainties inherent in acquiring or expanding a business, including our ability to successfully integrate new businesses into our company and realize expected synergies and benefits. The failure of any significant investment to provide the returns or profitability we expect could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, including the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and divert management attention from more profitable business operations. In addition, through our purchase of MapMyFitness, we entered into a new line of business related to connected fitness. Prior to this acquisition, we had limited experience in the connected fitness business. If we are unable to successfully operate this business, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition.
15
Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees.
Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees, particularly Kevin A. Plank, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of our senior management or other key employees could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and achieve our business goals.
We also may be unable to retain existing management, product creation, sales, marketing, operational and other support personnel that are critical to our success, which could result in harm to key customer relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment and training costs.
If we are unable to attract and retain new team members, including senior management, we may not be able to achieve our business objectives.
Our growth has largely been the result of significant contributions by our current senior management, product design teams and other key employees. However, to be successful in continuing to grow our business, we will need to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly talented management and other employees with a range of skills and experience. Competition for employees in our industry is intense and we have experienced difficulty from time to time in attracting the personnel necessary to support the growth of our business, and we may experience similar difficulties in the future. If we are unable to attract, assimilate and retain management and other employees with the necessary skills, we may not be able to grow or successfully operate our business.
Kevin Plank, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer controls the majority of the voting power of our common stock.
Our Class A Common Stock, or Class A Stock, has one vote per share and our Class B Convertible Common Stock, or Class B Stock, has 10 votes per share. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin A. Plank, beneficially owns all outstanding shares of Class B Stock. As a result, Mr. Plank has the majority voting control and is able to direct the election of all of the members of our Board of Directors and other matters we submit to a vote of our stockholders. This concentration of voting control may have various effects including, but not limited to, delaying or preventing a change of control. The Class B Stock automatically converts to Class A Stock when Mr. Plank beneficially owns less than 15.0% of the total number of shares of Class A and Class B Stock outstanding. Otherwise the Class B Stock does not convert to Class A Stock until Mr. Plank's death or disability. As a result, Mr. Plank can retain his voting control even after he is no longer affiliated with the Company.
A number of our fabrics and manufacturing technology are not patented and can be imitated by our competitors.
The intellectual property rights in the technology, fabrics and processes used to manufacture our products are generally owned or controlled by our suppliers and are generally not unique to us. Our ability to obtain patent protection for our products is limited and we currently own a limited number of fabric or process patents. As a result, our current and future competitors are able to manufacture and sell products with performance characteristics and fabrications similar to certain of our products. Because many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, distribution, marketing and other resources than we do, they may be able to manufacture and sell products based on certain of our fabrics and manufacturing technology at lower prices than we can. If our competitors do sell similar products to ours at lower prices, our net revenues and profitability could be materially adversely affected.
Our intellectual property rights could potentially conflict with the rights of others and we may be prevented from selling some of our products.
Our success depends in large part on our brand image. We believe our registered and common law trademarks have significant value and are important to identifying and differentiating our products from those of our competitors and creating and sustaining demand for our products. In addition, patents are increasingly important with respect to our innovative products and new businesses and investments, including MapMyFitness. From time to time, we have received or brought claims relating to intellectual property rights of others, and we expect such claims will continue or increase, particularly as we expand our business and the number of products we offer. Any such claim, regardless of its merit, could be expensive and time consuming to defend or prosecute. Successful infringement claims against us could result in significant monetary liability or prevent us from selling some of our products. In addition, resolution of claims may require us to redesign our products, license rights belonging to third parties or cease using those rights altogether. Any of these events could harm our business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
16
Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brand, weaken our competitive position and reduce our net revenues.
We currently rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade dress laws, patent laws, unfair competition laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. The steps taken by us to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate to prevent infringement of our trademarks and proprietary rights by others, including imitation of our products and misappropriation of our brand. In addition, intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States, and it may be more difficult for us to successfully challenge the use of our proprietary rights by other parties in these countries. If we fail to protect and maintain our intellectual property rights, the value of our brand could be diminished and our competitive position may suffer.
From time to time, we discover unauthorized products in the marketplace that are either counterfeit reproductions of our products or unauthorized irregulars that do not meet our quality control standards. If we are unsuccessful in challenging a third party’s products on the basis of trademark infringement, continued sales of their products could adversely impact our brand, result in the shift of consumer preferences away from our products and adversely affect our business.
We have licensed in the past, and expect to license in the future, certain of our proprietary rights, such as trademarks or copyrighted material, to third parties. These licensees may take actions that diminish the value of our proprietary rights or harm our reputation.
We are subject to periodic claims and litigation that could result in unexpected expenses and could ultimately be resolved against us
.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and other proceedings, including matters related to commercial disputes and intellectual property, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to our business. Any of these proceedings could result in damages, fines or other penalties, divert financial and management resources and result in significant legal fees. Although we cannot predict the outcome of any particular proceeding, an unfavorable outcome may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any proceeding could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and our brand image.
Our financial results could be adversely impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Although we currently generate a majority of our consolidated net revenues in the United States, as our international business grows, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Revenues and certain expenses in markets outside of the United States are recognized in local foreign currencies, and we are exposed to potential gains or losses from the translation of those amounts into U.S. dollars for consolidation into our financial statements. Similarly, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions generated by our foreign subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. In addition, the business of our independent manufacturers may also be disrupted by currency exchange rate fluctuations by making their purchases of raw materials more expensive and more difficult to finance. As a result, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our results of operations.

PROPERTIES
|
The following includes a summary of the principal properties that we own or lease as of December 31, 2013.
Our principal executive and administrative offices are located at an office complex in Baltimore, Maryland, which includes 400 thousand square feet of office space that we own and 116 thousand square feet that we are leasing with an option to renew in December 2015. Of the space that we own, a portion of the space is currently leased to third party tenants with remaining lease terms ranging from 1 month to 12.5 years. We intend to occupy this space as it becomes available. For our European headquarters, we lease an office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and we maintain an international management office in Panama as well.
We lease our primary distribution facilities, which are located in Glen Burnie, Maryland and Rialto, California. Our Glen Burnie facilities include a total of 830 thousand square feet, with options to renew various portions of the facilities on dates ranging from December 2016 to September 2021. Our Rialto facility is a 1,200 thousand square foot facility with a lease term through May 2023. We believe our distribution facilities and space available through our third-party logistics providers will be adequate to meet our short term needs. We may expand to additional distribution facilities in the future.
In addition, as of December 31, 2013, we leased 127 brand and factory house stores located in the United States, Canada and China with lease end dates in 2014 through 2028. We also lease additional office space for sales, quality assurance and sourcing, marketing, and administrative functions. We anticipate that we will be able to extend these leases that expire in the near future on satisfactory terms or relocate to other locations.

ITEM 3.
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
From time to time, we have been involved in litigation and other proceedings, including matters related to commercial disputes and intellectual property, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to our business. We believe all current proceedings are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of our business, and we believe no such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and the information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Selected Financial Data,” and “Business.”
Overview
We are a leading developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. The brand’s moisture-wicking fabrications are engineered in many different 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, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.
Our net revenues grew to $
2,332.1 million
in
2013
from $
856.4 million
in
2009
. We believe that our growth in net revenues has been driven by a growing interest in performance products and the strength of the Under Armour brand in the marketplace. We plan to continue to increase our net revenues over the long term by increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories, expansion of our wholesale distribution sales channel, growth in our direct to consumer sales channel and expansion in international markets. Our direct to consumer sales channel includes our brand and factory house stores and websites. New offerings for
2013
include UA COLDGEAR
®
Infrared and UA HEATGEAR
®
Sonic apparel, UA SpeedForm
TM
an
d
UA Spine
TM
Venom running footwear, and the ARMOUR39
TM
performance monitoring and tracking system.
A large majority of our products are sold in North America; however, we believe our products appeal to athletes and consumers with active lifestyles around the globe. Internationally, our net revenues are generated from a mix of wholesale sales to retailers, sales to distributors and sales through our direct to consumer sales channels in over
fifteen
countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. In addition, a third party licensee sells our products in Japan and Korea. We hold a minority investment in our licensee in Japan.
Our operating segments include North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); Asia; and MapMyFitness. Due to the insignificance of the EMEA, Latin America, Asia and MapMyFitness operating segments, they have been combined into other foreign countries and businesses for disclosure purposes.
We believe there is an increasing recognition of the health benefits of an active lifestyle. We believe this trend provides us with an expanding consumer base for our products. We also believe there is a continuing shift in consumer demand from traditional non-performance products to performance products, which are intended to provide better performance by wicking perspiration away from the skin, helping to regulate body temperature and enhancing comfort. We believe that these shifts in consumer preferences and lifestyles are not unique to the United States, but are occurring in a number of markets globally, thereby increasing our opportunities to introduce our performance products to new consumers. We plan to continue to grow our business over the long term through increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories, expansion of our wholesale distribution, growth in our direct to consumer sales channel and expansion in international markets.
Although we believe these trends will facilitate our growth, we also face potential challenges that could limit our ability to take advantage of these opportunities, including, among others, the risk of general economic or market conditions that could affect consumer spending and the financial health of our retail customers. In addition, we may not be able to effectively manage our growth and a more complex global business. We may not consistently be able to anticipate consumer preferences and develop new and innovative products that meet changing preferences in a timely manner. Furthermore, our industry is very competitive, and competition pressures could cause us to reduce the prices of our products or otherwise affect our profitability. We also rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers outside the U.S. to provide fabrics and to produce our products, and disruptions to our supply chain could harm our business. For a more complete discussion of the risks facing our business, refer to the “Risk Factors” section included in Item 1A.
General
Net revenues comprise both net sales and license and other revenues. Net sales comprise sales from our primary product categories, which are apparel, footwear and accessories. Our license and other revenues primarily consist of fees paid to us by our licensees in exchange for the use of our trademarks on core products of socks, team uniforms, baby and kids’ apparel, eyewear, inflatable footballs and basketballs, as well as the distribution of our products in Japan.
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
24
percentage of sales of selected products and write downs for inventory obsolescence. The fabrics in many of our products are made primarily of petroleum-based synthetic materials. Therefore our product costs, as well as our inbound and outbound freight costs, could be affected by long term pricing trends of oil. 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. No cost of goods sold is associated with 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 $
46.1 million
, $
34.8 million
and $
26.1 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs related to marketing, selling, product innovation and supply chain and corporate services. Personnel costs are included in these categories based on the employees’ function. Personnel costs include salaries, benefits, incentives and stock-based compensation related to our employees. Our marketing costs are an important driver of our growth. Marketing costs consist primarily of commercials, print ads, league, team, player and event sponsorships and depreciation expense specific to our in-store fixture program for our concept shops. Selling costs consist primarily of costs relating to sales through our wholesale channel, commissions paid to third parties and the majority of our direct to consumer sales channel costs, including the cost of brand and factory house store leases. Product innovation and supply chain costs include our apparel, footwear and accessories product innovation, sourcing and development costs, distribution facility operating costs, and costs relating to our Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China offices which help support product development, manufacturing, quality assurance and sourcing efforts. Corporate services primarily consist of corporate facility operating costs and company-wide administrative expenses.
Other expense, net 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.

Net sales
increase
d $
487.0 million
, or
27.2%
, to $
2,277.1 million
in
2013
from $
1,790.1 million
in
2012
as noted in the table above. The
increase
in net sales primarily reflects:
|
•
|
$176.8 million, or 33.2%, increase in direct to consumer sales, which includes 18 additional retail stores, or a 16.5% growth, since December 31, 2012, and continued growth in our ecommerce business;
|
|
•
|
unit growth driven by increased distribution and new offerings in multiple product categories, most significantly in our training and hunting apparel product categories, including our new UA HEATGEAR® Sonic and UA COLDGEAR® Infrared product lines along with continued growth in our UA Storm and Charged Cotton® platforms, and running apparel and footwear, including UA Spine; and
|
|
•
|
increased average selling prices driven primarily from our higher priced apparel products, including our mountain category and women's UA Studio line.
|
License and other revenues
increase
d $
10.2 million
, or
22.8%
, to $
55.0 million
in
2013
from $
44.8 million
in
2012
. This
increase
in license and other revenues was primarily a result of increased distribution and continued unit volume growth by our licensees.
Gross profit
increase
d $
257.4 million
to $
1,136.7 million
in
2013
from $
879.3 million
in
2012
. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin,
increase
d
80
basis points to
48.7%
in
2013
compared to
47.9%
in
2012
. The
increase
in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:
|
•
|
approximate 60 basis point increase driven by sales mix. The sales mix impact was primarily driven by decreased sales mix of excess inventory through our factory house outlet stores at lower prices, along with a lower proportion of North American wholesale footwear sales. We expect the North American wholesale footwear proportion of sales will increase during the first half of 2014 driving a negative sales mix impact; and
|
|
•
|
approximate 50 basis point increase driven by lower North American apparel and accessories product input costs. We expect North American wholesale product input costs will continue to positively impact year over year margins during the first half of 2014, but on a more limited basis.
|
26
The above increases were partially offset by the below decrease:
|
•
|
approximate 20 basis point decrease as a result of higher duty costs on certain products previously imported, which were identified and reserved for during the third quarter of 2013. We do not expect this negative impact will continue in 2014.
|
Selling, general and administrative expenses
increase
d $
201.0 million
to $
871.6 million
in
2013
from $
670.6 million
in
2012
. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses
increase
d to
37.3%
in
2013
from
36.5%
in
2012
. These changes were primarily attributable to the following:
|
•
|
Marketing costs increased $41.1 million to $246.5 million in
2013
from $205.4 million in
2012
primarily due to increased sponsorship of collegiate and professional teams and athletes and marketing to support our international expansion. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased to 10.5% in
2013
from 11.2% in
2012
.
|
|
•
|
Selling costs increased $63.9 million to $239.9 million in
2013
from $176.0 million in
2012
. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred primarily for the continued expansion of our direct to consumer distribution channel. As a percentage of net revenues, selling costs increased to 10.3% in
2013
from 9.6% in
2012
.
|
|
•
|
Product innovation and supply chain costs increased $50.7 million to $209.2 million in
2013
from $158.5 million in
2012
primarily due to higher incentive compensation as well as higher personnel costs to support our growth in net revenues. As a percentage of net revenues, product innovation and supply chain costs increased to 9.0% in
2013
from 8.6% in
2012
.
|
|
•
|
Corporate services costs increased $45.3 million to $176.0 million in
2013
from $130.7 million in
2012
. This increase was primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation as well as higher corporate personnel costs necessary to support our growth. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate services costs increased to 7.5% in
2013
from 7.1% in
2012
.
|
Income from operations
increase
d $
56.4 million
, or
27.0%
, to $
265.1 million
in
2013
from $
208.7 million
in
2012
. Income from operations as a percentage of net revenues remained unchanged at
11.4%
in
2013
and
2012
.
Interest expense, net
decreased $
2.3 million
to $
2.9 million
in
2013
from $
5.2 million
in
2012
. This decrease was primarily due to the refinancing in December 2012 of the debt assumed in connection with the acquisition of our corporate headquarters.
Other expense, net
increased $
1.1 million
to $
1.2 million
in
2013
from $
0.1 million
in
2012
. This increase was due to higher net losses in
2013
on the combined foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and our foreign currency derivative financial instruments as compared to
2012
.
Provision for income taxes
increase
d $24.0 million to $
98.7 million
in
2013
from $
74.7 million
in
2012
.
Our effective tax rate was
37.8%
in
2013
compared to
36.7%
in
2012
. Our effective tax rate for 2013 was higher than the effective tax rate for 2012 primarily due to increased foreign investments driving a lower proportion of foreign taxable income, along with increased non-deductible expenses, including acquisition related expenses, in the current year.

increased $166.5 million to $879.3 million in 2012 from $712.8 million in 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, decreased 50 basis points to 47.9% in 2012 compared to 48.4% in 2011. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:
|
•
|
approximate 35 basis point decrease driven by sales mix. The sales mix impact was partially driven by increased sales of excess inventory through our factory house stores at lower prices, along with a larger proportion of footwear sales, primarily due to new 2012 running styles and growth within our cleated shoe sales; and
|
|
•
|
approximate 25 basis point decrease driven by higher inbound freight, partially due to supply chain challenges, required to meet customer demand.
|
The above decreases were partially offset by the below increase:
|
•
|
approximate 20 basis point increase driven primarily by lower North American apparel product input costs, partially offset by higher North American accessories and footwear input costs.
|
Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased $120.5 million to $670.6 million in 2012 from $550.1 million in 2011. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 36.5% in 2012 from 37.3% in 2011. These changes were primarily attributable to the following:
|
•
|
Marketing costs increased $37.5 million to $205.4 million in 2012 from $167.9 million in 2011 primarily due to increased marketing campaigns for key apparel and footwear launches in 2012 and sponsorship of collegiate and professional teams and athletes, including Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased slightly to 11.2% in 2012 from 11.4% in 2011.
|
|
•
|
Selling costs increased $37.2 million to $176.0 million in 2012 from $138.8 million in 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs incurred primarily for the continued expansion of our direct to consumer distribution channel. As a percentage of net revenues, selling costs increased slightly to 9.6% in 2012 from 9.4% in 2011.
|
|
•
|
Product innovation and supply chain costs increased $29.4 million to $158.5 million in 2012 from $129.1 million in 2011 primarily due to higher distribution facilities operating and personnel costs to support our growth in net revenues and higher personnel costs for the design and sourcing of our expanding apparel, footwear and accessory lines. As a percentage of net revenues, product innovation and supply chain costs decreased slightly to 8.6% in 2012 from 8.8% in 2011.
|
|
•
|
Corporate services costs increased $16.4 million to $130.7 million in 2012 from $114.3 million in 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to higher corporate personnel cost and information technology initiatives necessary to support our growth. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate services costs decreased to 7.1% in 2012 from 7.7% in 2011 primarily due to decreased corporate personnel costs as a percentage of net revenues in 2012.
|
Income from operations
increased $45.9 million, or 28.2%, to $208.7 million in 2012 from $162.8 million in 2011. Income from operations as a percentage of net revenues increased to 11.4% in 2012 from 11.1% in 2011. This increase was a result of the items discussed above.
Interest expense, net
increased $1.4 million to $5.2 million in 2012 from $3.8 million in 2011. This increase was primarily due to a full year of interest on the debt related to the acquisition of our corporate headquarters in 2012 as compared to 2011.
28
Other expense, net
decreased $2.0 million to $0.1 million in 2012 from $2.1 million in 2011. This decrease was due to lower net losses in 2012 on the combined foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and our foreign currency derivative financial instruments as compared to 2011.
Provision for income taxes
increased $14.8 million to $74.7 million in 2012 from $59.9 million in 2011. Our effective tax rate was 36.7% in 2012 compared to 38.2% in 2011, primarily due to state tax credits received in 2012.

$49.5 million
to
$200.1 million
in
2012
from

in 2011 primarily due to the items discussed above in the Consolidated Results of Operations. Operating income in other foreign countries decreased by
$3.6 million
to

in

from
$12.2 million
in 2011 primarily due to higher costs associated with our continued investment to support our international expansion in our EMEA and Latin American operating segment, partially offset by unit sales growth and increased license revenues from our Japanese licensee as discussed above.
Seasonality
Historically, we have recognized a majority of our net revenues and a significant portion of our income from operations in the last two quarters of the year, driven primarily by increased sales volume of our products during the fall selling season, including our higher priced cold weather products, along with a larger proportion of higher margin direct to consumer sales. The level of our working capital generally reflects the seasonality and growth in our business.
We generally expect inventory, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses to be higher in the second and third quarters in preparation for the fall selling season.
The following table sets forth certain financial information for the periods indicated. The data is prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. All recurring, necessary adjustments are reflected in the data below.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity
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 and growth in our business as we recognize the majority of our net revenues in the back half of the year. Our capital investments have included expanding our in-store fixture and branded concept shop program, improvements and expansion of our distribution and corporate facilities to support our growth, leasehold improvements to our new 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
30
are designed to improve our forecasting and supply planning capabilities. In addition to systems and processes, key areas of focus that we believe will enhance inventory performance are added discipline around the purchasing of product, production lead time reduction, and better planning and execution in selling of excess inventory through our factory house stores and other liquidation channels.
In December 2013, we completed the acquisition of MapMyFitness. The purchase price was initially funded through $50.0 million cash on hand and $100.0 million borrowings available under our existing credit facility.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations and borrowings available to us under our credit and long term debt facilities are adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We continue to evaluate longer term funding options for our acquisition of MapMyFitness, as well as potential sources of liquidity to support future growth needs. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, an economic recession or a slow recovery could adversely affect our busine
ss and liquidity (refer to the “Risk Factors” section included in Item 1A). In addition, instability in or tightening of the capital markets could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital to grow our business and will affect the cost and terms of such capital.

Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, unrealized foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses, losses on disposals of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and changes in reserves and allowances. In addition, operating cash flows include the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally inventories, accounts receivable, income taxes payable and receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $
79.7 million
to $
120.1 million
in
2013
from $
199.8 million
in
2012
. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due to decreased net cash flows from operating assets and liabilities of
$142.4 million
, partially offset by an increase in net income of
$33.6 million
and adjustments to net income for non-cash items, which increased
$29.1 million
year over year. The increase in net cash flows related to changes in operating assets and liabilities period over period was primarily driven by the following:
|
•
|
an increase in inventory investments of
$161.6 million
. Inventory grew in 2013 at a rate higher than revenue growth primarily due to supplier delivery challenges experienced in the prior year period, early deliveries of product in the current period to manage supplier capacity and improve fill rates, along with incremental inventory investments to support our growing international and direct to consumer businesses.
|
This increase was also partially offset by:
|
•
|
a larger increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of
$34.5 million
in
2013
as compared to
2012
, primarily due to higher accruals for our performance incentive plan as compared to the prior period.
|
Adjustments to net income for non-cash items increased in
2013
as compared to
2012
primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation and higher depreciation and amortization in
2013
as compared to
2012
.
Cash provided by operating activities increased
$184.6 million
to
$199.8 million
in
2012
from
$15.2 million
in
2011
. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to increased net cash flows from operating assets and liabilities of
$155.0 million
and an increase in net income of
$32.0 million
, partially offset by adjustments to net income for non-cash items
31
which decreased
$2.4 million
year over year. The increase in net cash flows related to changes in operating assets and liabilities period over period was primarily driven by the following:
|
•
|
a decrease in inventory investments of
$119.3 million
primarily driven by success around our inventory management initiatives, along with delays in product receipts due to certain supplier challenges; and
|
|
•
|
a larger decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of
$38.6 million
in
2012
as compared to
2011
, primarily due to income taxes paid during 2011 related to our tax planning strategies currently being recognized in income tax expense and timing of payments for our marketing investments.
|
Adjustments to net income for non-cash items decreased in
2012
as compared to
2011
primarily due to an increase in deferred taxes in
2012
as compared to a decrease in deferred taxes in
2011
.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities increased $
191.2 million
to
$238.1 million
in
2013
from $
46.9 million
in
2012
. This increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the purchase of MapMyFitness in December 2013 and increased capital expenditures to improve and expand our offices and distribution facilities, along with brand and factory house openings and expansions in 2013, as compared to 2012.
Cash used in investing activities decreased
$42.5 million
to $
46.9 million
in
2012
from
$89.4 million
in
2011
. This decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of our corporate headquarters in 2011. In addition, in connection with the assumed loan for the acquisition of our corporate headquarters, we were required to set aside $5.0 million in restricted cash. This cash became unrestricted upon repayment of the assumed loan in December 2012.
Total capital expenditures were $91.6 million, $62.8 million and $115.4 million in
2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively, which includes the acquisition of our corporate headquarters and other related expenditures in 2011. Capital expenditures for
2014
are expected to be in the range of $140 million to $150 million, primarily driven by incremental investments to support our direct to consumer and international businesses and further develop and expand our global office footprint.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities increased $
114.5 million
to $
126.8 million
in
2013
from $
12.3 million
in
2012
. This increase was primarily due to $100.0 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of MapMyFitness.
Cash provided by financing activities decreased
$33.5 million
to $
12.3 million
in
2012
from
$45.8 million
in
2011
. This decrease was primarily due to the repayment of the loan assumed in connection with the acquisition of our corporate headquarters in 2011 and the repayment of the term loan under the credit facility, partially offset by the $50.0 million loan borrowed in December 2012.
Credit Facility
The Company has a credit facility with certain lending institutions. The credit facility has a term of
four
years through March 2015 and provides for a committed revolving credit line of up to $
300.0 million
. The commitment amount under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $
50.0 million
, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement.
The credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of certain of our domestic subsidiaries (other than trademarks and the land and buildings comprising our corporate headquarters) and by a pledge of the equity interests of certain of our domestic subsidiaries and
65%
of the equity interests of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Up to $
5.0 million
of the facility may be used to support letters of credit, of which none were outstanding as of
December 31, 2013
. We are required to maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement. As of
December 31, 2013
, we were in compliance with these ratios. The credit agreement also provides the lenders with the ability to reduce the borrowing base, even if we are in compliance with all conditions of the credit agreement, upon a material adverse change to the business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations. The credit agreement contains a number of restrictions that limit our ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge our assets as security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change our line of business. In addition, the credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest based on the daily balance outstanding at LIBOR (with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from
1.25%
to
1.75%
) or, in certain cases a base rate (based on a certain lending institution’s Prime Rate or as otherwise specified in the credit agreement, with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from
0.25%
to
0.75%
). The credit facility also carries a commitment fee equal to the unused borrowings multiplied by an applicable margin (varying from
0.25%
to
0.35%
). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our leverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement.
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we borrowed $
100.0 million
under the revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of MapMyFitness. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was 1.5% during the three months ended December 31, 2013. No balance was outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2012.
We have long term debt agreements with various lenders to finance the acquisition or lease of qualifying capital investments. Loans under these agreements are collateralized by a first lien on the related assets acquired. As these agreements are not committed facilities, each advance is subject to approval by the lenders. Additionally, these agreements include a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, including our credit facility, will be considered an event of default under these agreements. These agreements require a prepayment fee if we pay outstanding amounts ahead of the scheduled terms. The terms of the credit facility limit the total amount of additional financing under these agreements to $
40.0 million
, of which $
18.0 million
was available for additional financing as of
December 31, 2013
. At
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the outstanding principal balance under these agreements was $
4.9 million
and $
11.9 million
, respectively. Currently, advances under these agreements bear interest rates which are fixed at the time of each advance. The weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowings were
3.3%
,
3.7%
and
3.5%
for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively.
In July 2011, in connection with the acquisition of our corporate headquarters, we assumed a
$38.6 million
nonrecourse loan secured by a mortgage on the acquired property. The assumed loan had an original term of approximately
10
years with a scheduled maturity date of
March 2013
. The loan included a balloon payment of
$37.3 million
due at maturity. The assumed loan was nonrecourse with the lender’s remedies for non-performance limited to action against the acquired property and certain required reserves and a cash collateral account, except for nonrecourse carve outs related to fraud, breaches of certain representations, warranties or covenants, including those related to environmental matters, and other standard carve outs for a loan of this type. The loan required certain minimum cash flows and financial results from the property, and if those requirements were not met, additional reserves may have been required. The assumed loan required prior approval of the lender for certain matters related to the property, including material leases, changes to property management, transfers of any part of the property and material alterations to the property. The loan had an interest rate of
6.73%
.
In December 2012, we repaid the remaining balance of the assumed nonrecourse loan of $37.7 million and entered into a
$50.0 million
recourse loan collateralized by the land, buildings and tenant improvements comprising our corporate headquarters. The loan has a seven year term and maturity date of December 2019. The loan bears interest at one month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%, and allows for prepayment without penalty. We are required to maintain the same leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in our credit facility. As of
December 31, 2013
, we were in compliance with these ratios. The loan contains a number of restrictions that limit our ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge our assets as a security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change our line of business. The loan requires prior approval of the lender for certain matters related to the property, including transfers of any interest in the property. In addition, the loan includes a cross default provision similar to the cross default provision in the credit facility discussed above. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the outstanding balance on the loan was $
48.0 million
and
$50.0 million
, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the loan was
1.7%
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
We monitor
the financial health and stability of the lenders under the revolving credit and long term debt facilities, however during any period of significant instability in the credit markets lenders could be negatively impacted in their ability to perform under these facilities.
Acquisitions
MapMyFitness
On December 6, 2013,
we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of MapMyFitness, Inc., a digital connected fitness platform, for
$150.0 million
in cash, subject to adjustment for final working capital. The purchase price was financed through $100.0 million in debt under our
existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Through this acquisition,
we expect
to
33
engage and grow the acquired connected fitness community, while also increasing awareness and sales of
our
existing product offerings through our North American wholesale and direct to consumer channels.
Corporate Headquarters
In July 2011, we acquired approximately 400 thousand square feet of office space comprising our corporate headquarters for $60.5 million. The acquisition included land, buildings, tenant improvements and third party lease-related intangible assets. As of December 31, 2013, 116 thousand square feet of the 400 thousand square feet acquired was leased to third party tenants with remaining lease terms ranging from 1 month to 12.5 years. We intend to occupy additional space as it becomes available.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
We lease warehouse space, office facilities, space for our brand and factory house stores and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating and capital leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2028, excluding extensions at our option, and contain various 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
December 31, 2013
. The operating leases generally contain renewal provisions for varying periods of time. Our significant contractual obligations and commitments as of
December 31, 2013
as well as significant agreements entered into during the period after December 31, 2013 through the date of this report are summarized in the following table:

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 December 31, 2013.

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 agreements.

The table above excludes a liability of $24.1 million for uncertain tax positions, including the related interest and penalties, recorded in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, as we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of settlement. Refer to Note
10
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our uncertain tax positions.
34
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with various contracts and agreements, we have agreed to indemnify counterparties against certain third party claims relating to the infringement of intellectual property rights and other items. Generally, such indemnification obligations do not apply in situations in which our counterparties are grossly negligent, engage in willful misconduct, or act in bad faith. Based on our historical experience and the estimated probability of future loss, we have determined the fair value of such indemnifications is not material to our financial position or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe the following discussion addresses the critical accounting policies that are necessary to understand and evaluate our reported financial results.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenues consist of both net sales and license and other revenues. Net sales are recognized upon transfer of ownership, including passage of title to the customer and transfer of risk of loss related to those goods. Transfer of title and risk of loss are based upon shipment under free on board shipping point for most goods or upon receipt by the customer depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. In some instances, transfer of title and risk of loss take place at the point of sale, for example at our brand and factory house stores. We may also ship product directly from our supplier to the customer and recognize revenue when the product is delivered to and accepted by the customer. License and other revenues are primarily recognized based upon shipment of licensed products sold by our licensees. Sales taxes imposed on our revenues from product sales are presented on a net basis on the consolidated statements of income and therefore do not impact net revenues or costs of goods sold.
We record reductions to revenue for estimated customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts. We base our 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 is 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 recorded as an offset to accounts receivable as settlements are made through offsets to outstanding customer invoices. As of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, there were $
43.8 million
and $
40.7 million
, respectively, in reserves for customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts.
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 December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $
2.9 million
and $
3.3 million
, respectively.
Inventory Valuation and Reserves
We
value
our
inventory at standard cost which approximates landed cost, using the first-in, first-out method of cost determination. Market value is estimated based upon assumptions made about future demand and retail market conditions. If
we
determine
that the estimated market 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 market. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those
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.
35
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 the assets may be impaired. 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 assessment over relevant reporting units, analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows and quantifies the amount of impairment, if any.
We perform our
annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
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.
No material impairments were recorded related to goodwill, intangible assets or long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
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.
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.
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.
We
recognize
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of income.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with accounting guidance that requires all stock-based compensation awards granted to employees and directors to be measured at fair value and recognized as an expense in the financial statements. As of
December 31, 2013
, we had $
20.0 million
of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.2
years. This unrecognized compensation expense does not include any expense related to performance-based restricted stock units for which the performance targets have not been achieved as of December 31, 2013.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based compensation awards, stock price volatility and estimated forfeiture rates. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option awards. 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 are deemed probable, which requires management judgment. For example, the achievement of certain operating income targets related to the performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2012 and 2013 were not deemed probable as of
December 31, 2013
. Additional stock-based compensation of up to $
5.6 million
would have been recorded in 2013 for these performance-based restricted stock units had the full achievement of all operating targets been deemed probable. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. Refer to Note
2
and Note
12
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.
36
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted.
We believe
the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on
our
consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires companies to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.
The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on
our
consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test currently required. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on
our
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
Foreign Currency Risk
We currently generate a majority of our consolidated net revenues in the United States, and the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar. As our net revenues and certain expenses generated outside of the United States increase, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, as we recognize foreign revenues in local foreign currencies and if the U.S. dollar strengthens, it could have a negative impact on our foreign revenues upon translation of those results into the U.S. dollar upon consolidation of our financial statements. In addition, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions generated by our foreign subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions. These exposures are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.
From time to time, we may elect to use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk from exchange rate fluctuations primarily on intercompany transactions and projected inventory purchases for our international subsidiaries. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
As of
December 31, 2013
, the aggregate notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was
$20.6 million
, which was comprised of Canadian Dollar/U.S. Dollar, Euro/U.S. Dollar, and Pound Sterling/Euro currency pairs with contract maturities of 1 month. The foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of
December 31, 2013
have weighted average contractual forward foreign currency exchange rates of
1.07
CAD per $1.00, €
0.73
per $1.00, and £
0.83
per €1.00. The foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded in earnings. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were assets of $
12.1 thousand
and
$4.8 thousand
as of
December 31, 2013
and 2012, respectively, and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note
9
to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the fair value measurements. Included in other expense, net were the following amounts related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and derivative foreign currency forward contracts:

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the foreign currency forward contracts. However, we monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions and consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal. Although we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize some of the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on future cash flows, we cannot be assured that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
In order to maintain liquidity and fund business operations, we enter into long term debt arrangements with various lenders which bear a range of fixed and variable rates of interest. The nature and amount of our long-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. We may elect to enter into interest rate swap contracts to reduce the impact associated with interest rate fluctuations. In December 2012, we began utilizing an interest rate swap contract to convert a portion of variable rate debt under the $50.0 million loan to fixed rate debt. The contract pays fixed and receives variable rates of interest based on one-month LIBOR and has a maturity date of December 2019. The interest rate swap contract is accounted for as a cash flow hedge and accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the underlying debt obligation.
As of December 31, 2013, the notional value of our outstanding interest rate swap contract was $25.0 million. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded a $317.6 thousand and $21.1 thousand increase in interest expense, respectively, representing the effective portion of the contract reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was an asset of $1.1 million as of December 31, 2013, and was included in other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was a liability of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2012, and was included in other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk primarily on our accounts receivable. We provide credit to customers in the ordinary course of business and perform ongoing credit evaluations. We believe that our exposure to concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is largely mitigated by our customer base. We believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover customer credit risks as of December 31, 2013.
Inflation
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations in recent periods, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2013
.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2013
, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Under Armour, Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Under Armour, Inc.
and its subsidiaries
(the “Company”)
at
December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2013
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under Armour, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of the Business
Under Armour, Inc. is a developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. These products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.
2
. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Under Armour, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
On June 11, 2012 the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, which was effected in the form of a 100% common stock dividend distributed on July 9, 2012. Stockholders' equity and all references to share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split for all periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at date of inception to be cash and cash equivalents. Included in interest expense, net for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
was interest income of $
23.7 thousand
, $
25.2 thousand
and $
30.0 thousand
, respectively, related to cash and cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from large sporting goods retailers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required. The most significant customers that accounted for a large portion of net revenues and accounts receivable are as follows:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company
make
s
ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of accounts receivable and maintain
s
an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of
its
customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the reserve,
the Company
consider
s
historical levels of credit losses and significant economic developments within the retail environment that could impact the ability of
its
customers to pay outstanding balances and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. Because
the Company
cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of
its
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
the Company
determine
s
a smaller or larger reserve is appropriate,
it
would record a benefit or charge to selling, general and administrative expense in the period in which such a determination was made.
As of December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $
2.9 million
and $
3.3 million
, respectively.
46
Inventories
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. The Company
value
s its
inventory at standard cost which approximates landed cost, using the first-in, first-out method of cost determination. Market value is estimated based upon assumptions made about future demand and retail market conditions. If
the Company
determine
s
that the estimated market value of
its
inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory,
it
record
s
a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or market. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those
projected
by the Company
, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made.
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
the Company’s
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.
Assessing whether deferred tax assets are realizable requires significant judgment.
The Company
consider
s
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
the Company
believe
s
it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized, valuation allowances are established against
the Company’s
deferred tax assets, which increase income tax expense in the period when such a determination is made.
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.
The Company
recognize
s
accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of income.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, including the cost of internal labor for software customized for internal use, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
3
to
10
years for furniture, office equipment, software and plant equipment and
10
to
35
years for site improvements, buildings and building equipment. Leasehold and tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of in-store apparel and footwear fixtures and displays are capitalized, included in furniture, fixtures and displays, and depreciated over
3
years. The Company periodically reviews assets’ estimated useful lives based upon actual experience and expected future utilization. A change in useful life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and is applied prospectively.
The Company capitalizes the cost of interest for long term property and equipment projects based on the Company’s weighted average borrowing rates in place while the projects are in progress. Capitalized interest was $
0.4 million
and $
0.5 million
as of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses for that period. Major additions and betterments are capitalized to the asset accounts while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of assets, are expensed as incurred.
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 the assets may be impaired. In conducting an annual impairment test,
the Company first reviews
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,
the Company performs
a quantitative assessment over relevant reporting units, analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows and quantifies the amount of impairment, if any.
The Company
performs
its
annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
47
The Company
continually evaluate
s
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,
the Company
review
s
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.
No material impairments were recorded related to goodwill, intangible assets or long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Accrued Expenses
At
December 31, 2013
, accrued expenses primarily included $
56.7 million
and $
11.9 million
of accrued compensation and benefits and marketing expenses, respectively. At
December 31, 2012
, accrued expenses primarily included $
37.9 million
and $
13.6 million
of accrued compensation and benefits and marketing expenses, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The functional currency for each of the Company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiaries is generally the applicable local currency. The translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using current foreign currency exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using average foreign currency exchange rates during the period. Capital accounts are translated at historical foreign currency exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Adjustments that arise from foreign currency exchange rate changes on transactions, primarily driven by intercompany transactions, denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward and interest rate swap contracts to minimize the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments pursuant to applicable accounting guidance. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and requires all derivatives to be recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and to be measured at fair value. Unrealized derivative gain positions are recorded as other current assets or other long term assets, and unrealized derivative loss positions are recorded as accrued expenses or other long term liabilities, depending on the derivative financial instrument’s maturity date.
Currently, the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of income. The Company has designated its interest rate swap contract as a cash flow hedge and accordingly, the effective portion of changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the underlying debt obligation. The ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in current period earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to applicable accounting standards. Net revenues consist of both net sales and license and other revenues. Net sales are recognized upon transfer of ownership, including passage of title to the customer and transfer of risk of loss related to those goods. Transfer of title and risk of loss is based upon shipment under free on board shipping point for most goods or upon receipt by the customer depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. In some instances, transfer of title and risk of loss takes place at the point of sale, for example, at the Company’s brand and factory house stores. The Company may also ship product directly from its supplier to the customer and recognize revenue when the product is delivered to and accepted by the customer. License and other revenues are primarily recognized based upon shipment of licensed products sold by the Company’s licensees. Sales taxes imposed on the Company’s revenues from product sales are presented on a net basis on the consolidated statements of income and therefore do not impact net revenues or costs of goods sold.
The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts. The Company bases its 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 the Company. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company
48
determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to net sales in the period in which it makes 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 recorded as an offset to accounts receivable as settlements are made through offsets to outstanding customer invoices. As of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, there were $
43.8 million
and $
40.7 million
, respectively, in reserves for customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising production costs are expensed the first time an advertisement related to such production costs is run. Media (television, print and radio) placement costs are expensed in the month during which the advertisement appears, and costs related to event sponsorships are expensed when the event occurs. In addition, advertising costs include sponsorship expenses. Accounting for sponsorship payments is based upon specific contract provisions and the payments are generally expensed uniformly over the term of the contract after recording expense related to specific performance incentives once they are deemed probable. Advertising expense, including amortization of in-store marketing fixtures and displays, was $
246.5 million
, $
205.4 million
and $
167.9 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively. At
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, prepaid advertising costs were $
22.0 million
and $
17.5 million
, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company charges certain customers shipping and handling fees. These fees are recorded in net revenues. The Company includes the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs, included within selling, general and administrative expenses, were $
46.1 million
, $
34.8 million
and $
26.1 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively. The Company includes outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as a component of cost of goods sold.
Minority Investment
The Company holds a minority investment in Dome Corporation (“Dome”), the Company’s Japanese licensee. The Company invested ¥
1,140.0 million
, or $
15.5 million
, in exchange for
19.5%
common stock ownership in Dome. As of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the carrying value of the Company’s investment was $
15.2 million
and $
14.6 million
, respectively, and was included in other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The investment is subject to foreign currency translation rate fluctuations as it is held by the Company’s European subsidiary.
The Company accounts for its investment in Dome under the cost method given that it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. Additionally, the Company concluded that no event or change in circumstances occurred during the year ended
December 31, 2013
that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Any stock-based compensation awards that are determined to be participating securities, which are stock-based compensation awards that entitle the holders to receive dividends prior to vesting, are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share using the two class method. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, restricted stock units and other equity awards. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion of earnings per share.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with accounting guidance that requires all stock-based compensation awards granted to employees and directors to be measured at fair value and recognized as an expense in the financial statements. In addition, this guidance requires that excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards be reflected as financing cash flows.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair market value of stock-based compensation awards. The Company uses the “simplified method” to estimate the expected life of options, as permitted by accounting guidance. The “simplified method” calculates the expected life of a stock option equal to the time from grant to the
49
midpoint between the vesting date and contractual term, taking into account all vesting tranches. The risk free interest rate is based on the yield for the U.S. Treasury bill with a maturity equal to the expected life of the stock option. Expected volatility is based on the Company's historical average. Compensation expense is recognized net of forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the total vesting period, which is the implied requisite service period. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is recorded over the implied requisite service period when achievement of the performance target is deemed probable. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates.
The Company issues new shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of stock options, grant of restricted stock or share unit conversion. Refer to Note
12
for further details on stock-based compensation.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts shown for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the long term debt approximates its carrying value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current market rates available to the Company. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on the net difference between the U.S. dollars to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement date and the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract is based on the net difference between the fixed interest to be paid and variable interest to be received over the term of the contract based on current market rates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted.
The Company believes
the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on
its
consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which requires companies to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.
The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on
the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test currently required. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on
the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
3. Acquisitions
MapMyFitness
On December 6, 2013,
the Company acquired
100%
of the outstanding equity of MapMyFitness, Inc., a digital connected fitness platform, for
$150.0 million
in cash, subject to adjustment for final working capital. The purchase price was financed through
$100.0 million
in debt under the Company's
existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Through this acquisition,
the Company expects
to engage and grow the acquired connected fitness community, while also increasing awareness and sales of
the Company's
existing product offerings through our North American wholesale and direct to consumer channels.
50
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The Company allocated the total purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. As a result of the initial purchase price allocation, the Company recorded intangible assets of
$20.6 million
, goodwill of
$122.2 million
, and other net assets of
$6.6 million
, primarily consisting of
$4.7 million
of net deferred tax assets. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, pending the settlement of working capital.
Intangible assets consist of
$12.0 million
of technology,
$5.0 million
of trade name, and
$3.6 million
of customer relationships. The Company estimated the acquisition date fair values of the intangible assets based on income based discounted cash flow models using estimates and assumptions regarding future operations. The Company will amortize the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of
two
to
seven
years.
The goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition primarily reflects unidentified intangible assets acquired, including the value of integrating and innovating acquired technologies and engaging and growing the digital community. The acquired goodwill has been allocated primarily within the Company's North America operating segment as well as the MapMyFitness operating segment. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company incurred acquisition related expenses of approximately
$2.5 million
. These expenses were included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income during the year ended December 31, 2013. This acquisition did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of income during the year ended December 31, 2013. Pro forma results are not presented, as the acquisition was not considered material to the consolidated Company.
Corporate Headquarters
In July 2011, the Company acquired approximately
400 thousand
square feet of office space comprising its corporate headquarters for
$60.5 million
. The acquisition included land, buildings, tenant improvements and third party lease-related intangible assets. As of December 31, 2013,
116 thousand
square feet of the
400 thousand
square feet acquired was leased to third party tenants with remaining lease terms ranging from
1 month
to
12.5 years
. The Company intends to occupy additional space as it becomes available.
The acquisition included the assumption of a
$38.6 million
loan secured by the property and the remaining purchase price was paid in cash funded primarily by a
$25.0 million
term loan borrowed in May 2011. The carrying value of the assumed loan approximated its fair value on the date of the acquisition. Refer to Note 6 for a discussion of the assumed loan and term loan. A
$1.0 million
deposit was paid upon signing the purchase agreement in November 2010.
The aggregate fair value of the acquisition was
$63.8 million
. The fair value was estimated using a combination of market, income and cost approaches. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and as such the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain in the year ended December 31, 2011 of
$3.3 million
, as the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the purchase price.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company incurred acquisition related expenses of approximately
$1.9 million
. Both the acquisition related expenses and pre-tax bargain purchase gain were included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income during the year ended December 31, 2011. This transaction did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated statements of income during the year ended December 31, 2013.

6. Credit Facility and Long Term Debt
Credit Facility
The Company has a credit facility with certain lending institutions. The credit facility has a term of
four
years through March 2015 and provides for a committed revolving credit line of up to $
300.0 million
. The commitment amount under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $
50.0 million
, subject to certain conditions and approvals as set forth in the credit agreement.
The credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the assets of certain of its domestic subsidiaries (other than trademarks and the land and buildings comprising the Company’s corporate headquarters) and by a pledge of the equity interests of certain of its domestic subsidiaries and
65%
of the equity interests of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Up to $
5.0 million
of the facility may be used to support letters of credit, of which none were outstanding as of
December 31, 2013
. The Company is required to maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement. As of
December 31, 2013
, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. The credit agreement also provides the lenders with the ability to reduce the borrowing base, even if the Company is in compliance with all conditions of the credit agreement, upon a material adverse change to the business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The credit agreement contains a number of restrictions that limit the Company’s ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge its assets as security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change its line of business. In addition, the credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest based on the daily balance outstanding at LIBOR (with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from
1.25%
to
1.75%
) or, in certain cases a base rate (based on a certain lending institution’s Prime Rate or as otherwise specified in the credit agreement, with no rate floor) plus an applicable margin (varying from
0.25%
to
0.75%
). The credit facility also carries a commitment fee equal to the unused borrowings multiplied by an applicable margin (varying from
0.25%
to
0.35%
). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on the Company’s leverage ratio as set forth in the credit agreement.
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company borrowed
$100.0
million under the revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of MapMyFitness. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility was
1.5%
during the three months ended
December 31, 2013
. No balance was outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2012.
Long Term Debt
The Company has long term debt agreements with various lenders to finance the acquisition or lease of qualifying capital investments. Loans under these agreements are collateralized by a first lien on the related assets acquired. As these agreements are not committed facilities, each advance is subject to approval by the lenders. Additionally, these agreements include a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other debt obligations, including the Company’s credit facility, will be considered an event of default under these agreements. These agreements require a prepayment fee if the Company pays outstanding amounts ahead of the scheduled terms. The terms of the credit facility limit the total amount of additional financing under these agreements to $
40.0 million
, of which $
18.0 million
was available for additional financing as of
December 31, 2013
. At
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the outstanding principal balance under these agreements was $
4.9 million
and $
11.9 million
, respectively. Currently, advances under these agreements bear interest rates which are fixed at the time of each advance. The weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowings were
3.3%
,
3.7%
and
3.5%
for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively.
In July 2011, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of its corporate headquarters, the Company assumed a
$38.6 million
nonrecourse loan secured by a mortgage on the acquired property. The assumed loan had an original term of approximately
10
years with a scheduled maturity date of
March 2013
. The loan includes a balloon payment of
$37.3 million
due at maturity. The assumed loan is nonrecourse with the lender’s remedies for non-performance limited to action against the acquired property and certain required reserves and a cash collateral account, except for nonrecourse carve outs related to fraud, breaches of certain representations, warranties or covenants, including those related to environmental matters, and other
53
standard carve outs for a loan of this type. The loan requires certain minimum cash flows and financial results from the property, and if those requirements are not met, additional reserves may be required. The assumed loan requires prior approval of the lender for certain matters related to the property, including material leases, changes to property management, transfers of any part of the property and material alterations to the property. The loan had an interest rate of
6.73%
.
In December 2012, the Company repaid the remaining balance of the assumed nonrecourse loan of
$37.7
million and entered into a
$50.0 million
recourse loan collateralized by the land, buildings and tenant improvements comprising the Company's corporate headquarters. The loan has a
seven
year term and maturity date of
December 2019
. The loan bears interest at one month LIBOR plus a margin of
1.50%
, and allows for prepayment without penalty. The Company is required to maintain the same leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the credit facility. As of
December 31, 2013
, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. The loan contains a number of restrictions that limit the Company’s ability, among other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge its assets as a security, guaranty obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change its line of business. The loan requires prior approval of the lender for certain matters related to the property, including transfers of any interest in the property. In addition, the loan includes a cross default provision similar to the cross default provision in the credit facility discussed above. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the outstanding balance on the loan was $
48.0 million
and
$50.0 million
, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the loan was
1.7%
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Sponsorships and Other Marketing Commitments
Within the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual commitments in order to promote the Company’s brand and products. These commitments include sponsorship agreements with teams and athletes on the collegiate and professional levels, official supplier agreements, athletic event sponsorships and other marketing commitments. The following is a schedule of the Company’s future minimum payments under its sponsorship and other marketing agreements as of
December 31, 2013
, as well as significant sponsorship and other marketing agreements entered into during the period after
December 31, 2013

The amounts listed above are the minimum obligations required to be paid under the Company’s sponsorship and other marketing agreements. The amounts listed above do not include additional performance incentives and product supply obligations provided under certain agreements. It is not possible to determine how much the Company 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 the sponsorships depends on many factors including general playing conditions, the number of sporting events in which they participate and the Company’s decisions regarding product and marketing initiatives. In addition, the costs to design, develop, source and purchase the products furnished to the endorsers are incurred over a period of time and are not necessarily tracked separately from similar costs incurred for products sold to customers.
Other
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and other proceedings, including matters related to commercial disputes and intellectual property, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to its business. The Company believes that all current proceedings are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of its business, and that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In connection with various contracts and agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify counterparties against certain third party claims relating to the infringement of intellectual property rights and other items. Generally, such indemnification obligations do not apply in situations in which the counterparties are grossly negligent, engage in willful misconduct, or act in bad faith. Based on the Company’s historical experience and the estimated probability of future loss, the Company has determined that the fair value of such indemnifications is not material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

8. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock have an authorized number of shares at December 31, 2013 of
200.0 million
shares and
20.0 million
shares, respectively, and each have a par value of
$0.0003
1/3 per share. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock have identical rights, including liquidation preferences, except that the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to
one
vote per share and holders of Class B Convertible Common Stock are entitled to
10
votes per share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Class B Convertible Common Stock may only be held by Kevin Plank, the Company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, or a related party of Mr. Plank, as defined in the Company’s charter. As a result, Mr. Plank has a majority voting control over the Company. Upon the transfer of shares of Class B Convertible Stock to a person other than Mr. Plank or a related party of Mr. Plank, the shares automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock on a
one-for-one
basis. In addition, all of the outstanding shares of Class B Convertible Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon the death or disability of Mr. Plank or on the record date for any stockholders’ meeting upon which the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Plank is less than
15%
of the total shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock outstanding. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if authorized and declared out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends.
During the year ended
December 31, 2013
,
1.3 million
shares of Class B Convertible Common Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a
one-for-one
basis in connection with stock sales.

. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value accounting guidance outlines a valuation framework, creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures, and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
Level 1:
|
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
|
|
Level 2:
|
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
|
Financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value are set forth in the table below:

Fair values of the financial assets and liabilities listed above are determined using inputs that use as their basis readily observable market data that are actively quoted and are validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services and brokers. The foreign currency forward contracts represent gains and losses on derivative contracts, which is the net difference between the U.S. dollar value to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement date and the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current forward exchange rate. The interest rate swap contract represents gains and losses on the derivative contract, which is the net difference between the fixed interest to be paid and variable interest to be received over the term of the contract based on current market rates. The fair value of the trust owned life insurance (“TOLI”) policies held by the Rabbi Trust is based on the cash-surrender value of the life insurance policies, which are invested primarily in mutual funds and a separately managed fixed income fund. These investments are initially made in the same funds and purchased in substantially the same amounts as the selected investments of participants in the Under Armour, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which represent the underlying liabilities to participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Liabilities under the Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investments.
The carrying value of the Company's long term debt approximated its fair value as of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
. The fair value of the Company's long term debt was estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments (Level 2 input).

The increase in the

full year effective income tax rate, as compared to

, is primarily due to increased foreign investments driving a lower proportion of foreign taxable income, along with increased non-deductible expenses, including acquisition related expenses, in the current year.

In connection with the Company's acquisition of MapMyFitness (see Note 3), the Company acquired
$10.5
million in deferred tax assets associated with approximately
$42.5
million in federal and state net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards. The acquisition resulted in a “change of ownership” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, as a result, such NOLs are subject to an annual limitation. Based upon the historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over periods in which these NOLs will be deductible, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to fully utilize these NOLs before the carry-forward periods expire beginning
2029
through
2033
, and therefore a valuation allowance is not required.
As of
December 31, 2013
, the Company had
$13.8
million in deferred tax assets associated with approximately
$55.2
million in foreign net operating loss carryforwards which will begin to expire in
2
to
9
years. As of
December 31, 2013
, the Company believes certain deferred tax assets associated with foreign net operating loss carryforwards will expire unused based on the Company's projections. Therefore, a valuation allowance of
$2.5 million
was recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets in 2013.
As of
December 31, 2013
, the Company had
$3.8 million
in deferred tax assets associated with foreign tax credits. As of
December 31, 2013
the Company believes that a portion of the foreign taxes paid would not be creditable against its future income taxes. Therefore, a valuation allowance of
$1.6 million
was recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets in 2013.
As of
December 31, 2013
, approximately
$95.2 million
of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries whose cumulative undistributed earnings total
$102.5 million
. Withholding and U.S. taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings as the earnings are being permanently reinvested in its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Determining the tax liability that would arise if these earnings were repatriated is not practical.
As of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, was approximately
$24.1 million
and
$17.1 million
, respectively. The following table represents a reconciliation of the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits balances, excluding interest and penalties, for the years ended
December 31, 2013

As of
December 31, 2013
,
$20.1 million
of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, would impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized.
As of
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits included
$2.4 million
,
$1.8 million
and
$1.4 million
, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties. For each of the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, the Company recorded
$1.0 million
,
$0.7 million
and
$0.4 million
, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties in its consolidated statements of income. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of income.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The majority of the Company's returns for years before 2010 are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities. The Company does not expect any material changes to the total unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
11. Earnings per Share
The calculation of earnings per share for common stock shown below excludes the income attributable to outstanding restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the impact of these awards from the denominator.

Effects of potentially dilutive securities are presented only in periods in which they are dilutive. Stock options, restricted stock units and warrants representing
0.1 million
shares of common stock were outstanding for each of the years ended
December 31, 2013

12. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock Compensation Plans
The Under Armour, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity awards to officers, directors, key employees and other persons. Stock options and restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards under the 2005 Plan generally vest ratably over a two to four year period. The contractual term for stock options is generally ten years from the date of grant. The Company generally receives a tax deduction for any ordinary income recognized by a participant in respect to an award under the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan terminates in 2015. As of
December 31, 2013
,
9.7 million
shares are available for future grants of awards under the 2005 Plan.
Total stock-based compensation expense for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
was $
43.2 million
, $
19.8 million
and $
18.1 million
, respectively. As of
December 31, 2013
, the Company had $
20.0 million
of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.2
years. This unrecognized compensation expense does not include any expense related to performance-based restricted stock units for which the performance targets have not been achieved as of December 31, 2013. Refer to “Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units” below for further information on these awards.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) allows for the purchase of Class A Common Stock by all eligible employees at a
15%
discount from fair market value subject to certain limits as defined in the ESPP. As of
December 31, 2013
,
1.5 million
shares are available for future purchases under the ESPP. During the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
,
54.2 thousand
,
56.9 thousand
and
59.9 thousand
shares were purchased under the ESPP, respectively
.
Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan and Deferred Stock Unit Plan
The Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan (the “Director Compensation Plan”) provides for cash compensation and equity awards to non-employee directors of the Company under the 2005 Plan. Non-employee directors have the option to defer the value of their annual cash retainers as deferred stock units in accordance with the Under Armour, Inc. Non-Employee Deferred Stock Unit Plan (the “DSU Plan”). Each new non-employee director receives an award of restricted stock units upon the initial election to the Board of Directors, with the units covering stock valued at $
0.1 million
on the grant date and vesting in three equal annual installments. In addition, each non-employee director receives, following each annual stockholders’ meeting, a grant under the 2005 Plan of restricted stock units covering stock valued at $
75.0 thousand
on the grant date. Each award vests
100%
on the date of the next annual stockholders’ meeting following the grant date.
The receipt of the shares otherwise deliverable upon vesting of the restricted stock units automatically defers into deferred stock units under the DSU Plan. Under the DSU Plan each deferred stock unit represents the Company’s obligation to issue one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock with the shares delivered six months following the termination of the director’s service.
Stock Options
The weighted average fair value of a stock option granted for the years ended
December 31, 2013
and
2011
was $
25.82
and $
19.28
, respectively. There were
no
stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2012. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Included in the tables above are
2.3 million
and
2.5 million
performance-based stock options granted to officers and key employees under the 2005 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. These performance-based stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $
10.38
, and a term of
ten
years. These performance-based options had vestings that were tied to the achievement of certain combined annual operating income targets. Upon the achievement of each of the combined operating income targets,
50%
of the options vest and the remaining
50%
vest one year later. As of December 31, 2013, the combined operating income targets related to all performance-based stock options were met. For performance-based stock options granted in 2009,
50%
of the options vested in February 2011, and the remaining
50%
vested in February 2012. For the stock options granted in 2010,
50%
of the options vested in February 2013 and the remaining
50%
will vest in February 2014, subject to continued employment.
The weighted average fair value of these performance-based stock options is $
5.83
, and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model consistent with the weighted average assumptions included in the table above. During the years ended
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the Company recorded $
1.4 million
and $
3.9 million
, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense for these performance-based stock options.

Included in the table above are
0.7 million
,
1.0 million
and
0.8 million
performance-based restricted stock units awarded to certain executives and key employees under the 2005 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These performance-based restricted stock units have a weighted average fair value of $
42.81
and have vesting that is tied to the achievement of certain combined annual operating income targets.
As of December 31, 2013, a portion of the combined operating income targets related to the 2011 performance-based restricted stock units were achieved. For performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2011,
50%
of the awards will vest in February 2014, and the remaining
50%
will vest in February 2015, subject to continued employment. Upon the achievement of the combined operating income targets for the 2012 awards,
50%
of the restricted stock units will vest in February 2015 and the remaining
50%
will vest in February 2016. Upon the achievement of the combined operating income targets for the 2013 awards,
one third
of the restricted stock units will vest in February 2015,
one third
will vest in February 2016 and the remaining
one third
will vest in February 2017. If certain lower levels of combined operating income are achieved, fewer or no restricted stock units will vest, and the remaining restricted stock units will be forfeited.
During the year ended
December 31, 2013
, the Company deemed the achievement of certain operating income targets probable for the awards granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011, and recorded $
30.8 million
for a portion of these awards, including cumulative adjustments of
$9.0 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and
$11.3 million
during the three months ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company deemed the achievement of certain operating income targets probable for the awards granted in 2011, and recorded
$4.1 million
for a portion of these awards, including a cumulative adjustment of
$2.4 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company will assess the probability of the achievement of the operating income targets at the end of each reporting period. If it becomes probable that the remaining performance targets related to these performance-based restricted stock units will be achieved, a cumulative adjustment will be recorded as if ratable stock-based compensation expense had been recorded since the grant date. Additional stock based compensation of up to $
5.6 million
would have been recorded through
December 31, 2013
for all performance-based restricted stock units had the full achievement of these operating income targets been deemed probable.
Warrants
In 2006, the Company issued fully vested and non-forfeitable warrants to purchase
960.0 thousand
shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to NFL Properties as partial consideration for footwear promotional rights which were recorded as an intangible asset. With the assistance of an independent third party valuation firm, the Company assessed the fair value of the warrants using various fair value models. Using these measures, the Company concluded that the fair value of the warrants was
$8.5 million
. The warrants have a term of
12 years
from the date of issuance and an exercise price of
$18.50
per share, which is the adjusted closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the date of issuance. As of
December 31, 2013
, all outstanding warrants were exercisable, and no warrants were exercised.
13
. Other Employee Benefits
The Company offers a 401(k) Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of eligible employees. Employee contributions are voluntary and subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company matches a portion of the participant’s contribution and recorded expense of $
2.7 million
, $
2.3 million
and $
1.8 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively. Shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are not an investment option in this plan.
62
In addition, the Company offers the Under Armour, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan which allows a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as approved by the Compensation Committee, to make an annual base salary and/or bonus deferral for each year. As of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the Deferred Compensation Plan obligations were $
3.3 million
and $
2.8 million
, respectively, and were included in other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company established the Rabbi Trust to fund obligations to participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan. As of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
, the assets held in the Rabbi Trust were TOLI policies with cash-surrender values of $
4.6 million
and $
4.3 million
, respectively. These assets are consolidated and are included in other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note
9
for a discussion of the fair value measurements of the assets held in the Rabbi Trust and the Deferred Compensation Plan obligations.
14
. Risk Management and Derivatives
Foreign Currency Risk Management
The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by its international subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions. From time to time, the Company may elect to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany transactions and projected inventory purchases for its European and Canadian subsidiaries. In addition, the Company may elect to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on Pound Sterling denominated balance sheet items.
As of
December 31, 2013
, the aggregate notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $
20.6 million
, which was comprised of Canadian Dollar/U.S. Dollar, Euro/U.S. Dollar, and Pound Sterling/Euro currency pairs with contract maturities of
1
month. The foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded in earnings. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were assets of $
12.1 thousand
and
$4.8 thousand
as of
December 31, 2013
and 2012, respectively, and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note
9
for a discussion of the fair value measurements. Included in other expense, net were the following amounts related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and derivative foreign currency forward contracts:

Interest Rate Risk Management
In order to maintain liquidity and fund business operations, the Company enters into long term debt arrangements with various lenders which bear a range of fixed and variable rates of interest. The nature and amount of the Company's long-term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. The Company may elect to enter into interest rate swap contracts to reduce the impact associated with interest rate fluctuations. In December 2012, the Company began utilizing an interest rate swap contract to convert a portion of variable rate debt under the $
50.0 million
loan to fixed rate debt. The contract pays fixed and receives variable rates of interest based on one-month LIBOR and has a maturity date of December 2019. The interest rate swap contract is accounted for as a cash flow hedge and accordingly, the effective portion of the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense over the life of the underlying debt obligation.
As of
December 31, 2013
, the notional value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap contract was $
25.0 million
. During the years ended
December 31, 2013
and 2012, the Company recorded a $
317.6 thousand
and
$21.1
thousand increase in interest expense, representing the effective portion of the contract reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was an asset of $
1.1 million
as of
December 31, 2013
, and was included in other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was a liability of
$0.1 million
as of December 31, 2012, and was included in other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to
63
the unrealized gains in the contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
15. Related Party Transactions
The Company has an agreement to license a software system with a vendor whose Co-CEO is a director of the Company. During the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, the Company paid $
3.7 million
, $
1.9 million
and $
1.8 million
, respectively, in licensing fees and related support services to this vendor. There were no amounts payable to this related party as of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
.
The Company has an operating lease agreement with an entity controlled by the Company’s CEO to lease an aircraft for business purposes. The Company paid $
1.0 million
, $
0.8 million
and $
0.7 million
in lease payments to the entity for its use of the aircraft during the years ended
December 31, 2013
,
2012
and
2011
, respectively. No amounts were payable to this related party as of
December 31, 2013
and
2012
. The Company determined the lease payments charged are at or below fair market lease rates.
16
. Segment Data and Related Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. As such, the CODM receives discrete financial information for the Company's principal business by geographic region based on the Company’s strategy to become a global brand. These geographic regions include North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia. Each geographic segment operates exclusively in one industry: the development, marketing and distribution of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. Beginning in 2013, the CODM also receives discrete financial information for the Company's acquired MapMyFitness business. Due to the insignificance of the EMEA, Latin America, Asia and MapMyFitness operating segments, they have been combined into other foreign countries and businesses for disclosure purposes.
The net revenues and operating income (loss) associated with the Company's segments are summarized in the following tables. Net revenues represent sales to external customers for each segment. In addition to net revenues, operating income (loss) is a primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of each segment. Intercompany balances were eliminated for separate disclosure and the majority of corporate expenses within North America have not been allocated to other foreign countries and businesses. Certain corporate services costs, previously included within North America, have been allocated to other foreign countries and businesses. Prior period segment data has been recast within the tables below to conform to current year presentation.

18. Subsequent Events
Acquisitions
On January 2, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets of its distributor in Mexico. Following the acquisition, the Company has begun selling its products in Mexico directly rather than through a distributor. The operating results for this acquisition will be included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which is expected to be final during the first quarter of 2014. This acquisition is not material to the Company.
Stockholders’ Equity
In February 2014,
0.3 million
shares of Class B Convertible Common Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a
one-for-one
basis in connection with a stock sale.
Stock-Based Compensation
In February 2014,
0.4 million
performance-based restricted stock units were awarded to certain officers and key employees under the 2005 Plan. The performance-based restricted stock units have vesting that is tied to the achievement of certain combined annual operating income targets for 2014 and 2015. Upon the achievement of the combined operating income target, one third of the restricted stock units will vest in
February 2016
, one third will vest in
February 2017
and the remaining one third will vest in
February 2018
. If certain lower levels of combined operating income for 2014 and 2015 are achieved, fewer or no restricted stock units will vest at each vest date, and the remaining restricted stock units will be forfeited.
