Our inventory strategy is focused on continuing to meetmeeting 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, including our global operating and financial reporting information technology system, 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 theproduct purchasing, of product, production lead time reduction, and better planning and execution in selling of excess inventory through our factory houseFactory 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.

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 United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, China and numerous other countries. We also own trademark registrations for other trademarks including, among others, UA®, ARMOUR®, HEATGEAR®, COLDGEAR®, PROTECT THIS HOUSE®, I WILL®, and many trademarks that incorporate the term ARMOUR such as ARMOURBOX®, ARMOUR® FLEECE,ARMOUR FLEECE® and ARMOUR BRA®BRATM. We also own registrations to protect our connected fitness branding such as MyFitnessPal®, MapMyFitness® and associated MapMy marks and UNDER ARMOUR CONNECTED FITNESS®.marks. We 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 some of the technology, materials and processes used in the manufacture of our products. In addition, patents are increasingly important with respect to our innovative products and new businesses and investments. As we continue to expand and drive innovation in our products, we 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 new products,

innovations and designs that align with our corporate strategy. We expect the number of applications to increase as our business grows and as we continue to expand our products and 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. Our most direct competitors include, among others, NIKE, Adidas, Puma and lululemon athletica, which are large apparel and footwear companies with strong worldwide brand recognition and significantly greater resources than us. Within our international markets, we also compete with local brands that may have stronger brand recognition regionally. 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. Some 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 performance apparel and footwear, 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 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.
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 focusedfocus on athletic performance product style and 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, preferences for inclusive products and brands and changing styles.styles and trends.

Sustainability
At Under Armour, our mission is to make athletes better. Our sustainability strategy sets forth our long-term commitment to finding new ways to drive performance through sustainable innovations that not only deliver a better product for athletes, but also a better world. We have always been focused on product innovation, and we are challenging ourselves to be more innovative to increase the sustainability, durability and recyclability of our products and to reduce the impact of our design, development and manufacturing processes on the environment. We are exploring more ways to use digital technology to elevate the experience of our customers and consumers while also reducing the impact of our operations on the environment. For example, we have created realistic, but fully virtual, digital showrooms to display products for upcoming seasons to our customers, allowing us to produce and ship fewer physical product samples.
Our sustainability strategy is centered around three interconnected pillars—our products, our teammates and our home field—and focuses on enabling materials innovation to bring about a more circular system, championing our teammates and communities across our entire value chain and leaving our planet and shared spaces bettered by our presence. Increasingly, we are working with our supply chain to embed sustainable practices, and be mindful about the sustainability profiles of key raw materials. In Fiscal 2021, we publicly announced certain environmental and sustainability goals for 2025, 2030 and 2050 that focus on reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and increasing our annual sourcing of renewable electricity in our owned and operated facilities. These goals, which can be found on our website, are grounded in science and an assessment of where our operations have the most significant impact on the environment.

Human Capital Management
Under Armour is led by its purpose—We Empower Those Who Strive for More—and our teammates, who bring their different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, are central to driving our long-term success as an organization and brand. Consistent with our purpose, we believe that our brand is stronger when our collective team is fully engaged and working together to support our athletes around the world. We also believe that having an engaged, diverse and committed workforce not only enhances our culture, it drives our business success, ultimately helping us to deliver the most innovative products that make athletes better.

Employeesstrategy is therefore focused on creating an inclusive workplace where our teammates can thrive by attracting, developing and retaining talent through a competitive total rewards program, numerous development opportunities and a diverse, inclusive and engaging work environment.
As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had approximately 16,400 employees,17,500 teammates worldwide, including approximately 11,30013,000 in our brandBrand and factory houseFactory House stores and approximately 1,5001,300 at our distribution facilities. Approximately 7,0007,100 of our employeesteammates were full-time. MostOf our approximately 10,400 part-time teammates, approximately 29% were seasonal teammates.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion starts at the top with a highly skilled and diverse Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has ongoing oversight of our employeeshuman capital management strategies and programs and regularly reviews our progress towards achieving our diversity, equity and inclusion goals.
We have set measurable goals for improving diversity amongst our team, including a commitment to increase the number of historically underrepresented teammates throughout the levels of leadership within our organization by 2023. These goals are locatedpublicly outlined on our corporate website, where we also publish our representation statistics annually. We are also committed to continuing to increase representation of women in the United States. Nonekey areas of our employeesbusiness particularly in leadership, commercial and technical roles globally. Our annual incentive plan for all teammates, including executives, incorporates performance measures in furtherance of our diversity, equity and inclusion goals.
As of December 31, 2021:
the race and ethnicity of our teammate population in the United States, are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreementincluding teammates in our Brand and there are no material collective bargaining agreements in effect in anyFactory House stores and our distribution facilities, was 49% White, 23% Hispanic or Latino, 18% Black or African American, 6% Asian and 4% other;
the race and ethnicity of our international"director" level and above positions in the United States was 75% White, 6% Hispanic or Latino, 8% Black or African American, 8% Asian and 3% other; and
52% of our global teammates were women, and women represented 41% of our “director” level and above positions.
In addition to building a more diverse team, we believe fostering an inclusive and ethical culture is key to our values and who we are as an organization. We believe open lines of communication are critical to fostering this environment. This starts with “tone at the top” and we emphasize the importance of our Code of Conduct and encourage our teammates to “speak-up” when they have concerns. We require unconscious bias training for all of our corporate teammates and our retail and distribution facility leadership, including training focused on promoting diversity during our new-hire interview process. In Fiscal 2021, we continued a company-wide virtual series to facilitate meaningful conversations on anti-racism and racial justice issues. For our senior leadership, we require mandatory training on cultural competency and building inclusive environments. We also invest in professional development specifically for our historically underrepresented and women teammates to improve retention and advancement. We currently have nine teammate-led Teammate Resource Groups, which amplify business initiatives, provide networking opportunities, support community outreach and promote cultural awareness. In addition, we have an internal diversity, equity and inclusion council, known as the Global T.E.A.M. (Teammate Equity and Accountability Movement) Council, which consists of “director” level and above corporate teammates and focuses on fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment across our organization.
Total Rewards
Our total rewards strategy is focused on providing market competitive and internally equitable total rewards packages that allow us to attract, engage and retain a talented, diverse and inclusive workforce. In determining our compensation practices, we focus on offering competitive pay that is based on market data with packages that appropriately reflect roles and geographic locations. We believe in “pay for performance” and seek to design plans and programs to support a culture of high performance where we reward what is accomplished and how. In May 2021, we announced an increase in minimum pay rate for hourly teammates in the United States and Canada from a minimum of $10 per hour to $15 per hour ($15.25 Canadian dollars per hour in Canada), which went into effect on June 6, 2021. We are also committed to achieving pay equity within all teammate populations, and with the assistance of third-party experts, conduct an annual review of pay equity and market comparison data. When we identify opportunities, we take prompt actions to close any gaps.
Our total rewards programs, which are outlined on the careers page of our corporate website, are aimed at the varying health, financial and home-life needs of our teammates. In the United States, where approximately 69% of our workforce is located, in addition to market-competitive pay and broad-based bonuses, our full-time

teammates are eligible for healthcare benefits; health savings accounts; flexible spending accounts; retirement savings plan; paid time off; family, maternity and paternity leave; adoption assistance; child and adult care resources; flexible work schedules; short and long term disability; life and accident insurance; tuition assistance; fitness benefits at on-site gyms or eligible fitness programs; commuter benefits; Under Armour merchandise discounts; and a Work-Life Assistance Program. We believe in promoting alignment between our teammates and stockholders. As such, these teammates are also eligible to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and corporate teammates within our “director” level and above positions receive restricted stock unit awards as a key component of their total compensation package. Outside of the United States, we provide similarly competitive benefit packages to those of our U.S. teammates but tailored to market-specific practices and needs.
We believe that giving back to the communities where we live and work is central to our culture. In addition to competitive time off benefits, our full-time teammates also receive 40 hours of additional paid time off each year for personal volunteer activities performed during working hours.
Talent Development and Engagement
Our purpose of empowering those who strive for more is embodied in our commitment to helping our teammates develop their skills, grow their careers and achieve their goals. We believe our investment in these areas enhances our teammate engagement, improves the efficiency and productivity of our work and ultimately drives better results for our business. We prioritize and invest in a wide range of training and development opportunities for teammates at all levels, including through both online and instructor-led internal and external programs. All of our teammates have had no labor-related work stoppages,access to an online learning platform and knowledge database, Armour U, which offers an extensive, regularly updated library of seminars on a variety of topics. We also offer resources to support individual development planning, including emphasizing development opportunities as part of teammates’ annual goal setting process.
We invest in developing the leadership strength and capabilities of people-leaders at all levels, including through trainings focused on how to effectively manage, communicate with and drive the performance of teams. Through our succession planning efforts, we further focus on talent development for key roles within our organization.
We believe these efforts keep our teammates engaged and motivated to do their best work. However, competition for employees in our industry is intense, and we believeregularly collect feedback to better understand and improve our relationsteammate experience and identify opportunities to continually strengthen our culture. See “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Risks—Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees, and our continued ability to attract and retain highly talented new team members” included in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Health and Safety
In Fiscal 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to present unprecedented challenges to our business, our communities, our athletes and our teammates. As we managed through these challenges, we prioritized the health, safety and overall well-being of our teammates. We have a COVID-19 sick leave policy, which offers full-time and part-time teammates in the United States and Canada additional paid sick time if they are unable to work due to contracting COVID-19.
At each of our office, retail store and distribution house locations, we follow applicable local, state and national government regulations, laws and recommended guidance. At our distribution houses, which have remained open, we have implemented government-recommended COVID-19 prevention measures, including reworking all job areas to reduce close contact, implementing daily health screening questions and temperature checks, enhancing cleaning protocols, requiring face coverings and social distancing and adding physical distancing barriers and increased hand sanitizing stations. Following significant store closures during Fiscal 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during Fiscal 2021, most of our Brand and Factory House retail stores remained open, subject to varying capacity constraints and other operating restrictions. In addition to requiring daily teammate wellness assessments, we have implemented COVID-19 prevention measures at these locations similar to those described above. With respect to our corporate teammates, many of our corporate offices (including our global headquarters) have reopened in a limited capacity with teammates permitted to return to work on a voluntary basis. However, the majority of our employeescorporate teammates have continued to work partially, if not entirely, remotely. We offer resources for teammates working remotely, which are good.targeted at optimizing remote work environments and managing COVID-19 related challenges and address topics such as office ergonomics and mental and emotional health and well-being. During Fiscal 2021, we implemented new COVID-19 vaccine policies and procedures for our corporate teammates in the United States and Canada, as well as incentive programs for our retail and distribution teammates. We have

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, results of operations and future prospects could be negatively impacted.

Economic and Industry Risks
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause significant disruption in our industry, which has and may continue to materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business has been and may continue to be materially impacted by the effects of the widespread outbreak of COVID-19, which was reported to have surfaced first in December 2019 and declared a global pandemic in March 2020. This pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and financial markets, and led to significant travel and business restrictions, including mandatory closures, orders to “shelter-in-place” and restrictions on how businesses operate.
During a downturn2020, the COVID-19 pandemic materially negatively impacted our business and results of operations. While conditions improved during 2021, the extent and duration of ongoing impacts remain uncertain. The pandemic previously resulted in temporary closures of our retail stores and the stores of our wholesale customers where our products are sold, reduced consumer traffic and consumer spending, temporary layoffs of certain employees in our North America retail stores and distribution centers and incremental operating expenses from adopting preventative health and safety measures in our stores, distribution centers and corporate offices. These negative impacts may continue or resurface depending on the ongoing development of the virus and related responses including resurgences and the impact of variants.
The disruption caused by the pandemic has and may continue to disrupt the operations of our business partners, including our customers, suppliers, and vendors, and the financial condition of certain of our partners has been and could again be significantly impacted. For example, in 2020 certain of our wholesale customers delayed purchases of our products or cancelled previously placed orders in response to pandemic-related store closures. More recently, we have experienced disruption amongst our distribution, logistics and sourcing partners, including temporary closures or other restrictions placed on factories in key sourcing countries. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause global logistical challenges, including shipping container shortages, transportation delays, port congestion and labor shortages. These challenges have and may continue to negatively impact our partners and our business, including by disrupting our inventory flow, requiring us to incur increased freight costs and requiring us to cancel or delay sales to some of our customers. This has and may continue to negatively impact our net revenues, gross margin, net income and results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic disruption has also led to significant volatility in the economy,capital markets and adversely impacted our stock price. While we have taken measures to maintain our operations and preserve and enhance our access to liquidity, our cash generated from operations was negatively impacted during certain periods of the pandemic and future cash flows may be further impacted by the ongoing development of the pandemic. If we are unable to effectively manage our spending in response to the pandemic, our profitability may be negatively impacted.
Further, many of our employees in our corporate offices are working remotely, and may continue to do so. An extended period of remote work arrangements could introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks discussed below, any of which could have a material effect on us. Though we continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic closely, the situation is changing rapidly, including a resurgence in many countries, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.

and inflationary pressures and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Uncertainty in globalGlobal economic conditions continues,may continue to be uncertain, particularly in light of the impacts of COVID-19, and the potential impacts of increasing inflation in the United States (our largest market) remain unknown, making trends in consumer discretionary spending remain unpredictable. However,Historically, 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, which may lead to declines in sales and slow our long-term growth more than we anticipate. A downturn in the economiesexpectations. Any near or long-term economic disruptions in markets in whichwhere we sell our products, particularly in the United States, China or other key markets, may materially harm our sales, profitability and financial condition and our prospects for growth.

We derive a substantial portion of our sales from large wholesale customers. If the financial condition of our customers declines, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
In 2019, sales through our wholesale channel represented approximately 60% of our net revenues. We extend credit to our wholesale 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, customers may be more cautious with orders or may slow investments necessary to maintain a high quality in-store experience for consumers, which may result in lower sales of our products. 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 customers. From time to time certain of our customers have experienced financial difficulties. To the extent one or more of our customers experience significant financial difficulty, bankruptcy, insolvency or cease operations, this could have a material adverse effect on our sales, our ability to collect on receivablesas pandemic conditions improve and our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not successfully execute our long-term strategies, which may negatively impact our results of operations.
Our ability to execute on our long-term strategies depends, in part, on successfully executing on strategic growth initiatives in key areas, such as our international business, footwear and our global direct to consumer sales channel. Our growth in these areas depends on our ability to continue to successfully expand our global network of brand and factory house stores, grow our e-commerce and mobile application offerings throughout the world and continue to successfully increase our product offerings and market share in footwear. Our ability to invest in these growth initiatives would be negatively impacted ifrestrictions ease, we are unable to grow net revenues inpredict whether consumer preferences for discretionary items will shift and the level of consumer spending within our international business at the rate we expect, or if our North America business, which represented 69% of our total net revenues in 2019, continues to decline or experiences significant market disruption. In addition, our long-term strategy depends on our ability to successfully drive expansion of our gross margins, manage our cost structure and drive return on our investments. If we cannot effectively execute our long-term growth strategies while managing costs effectively, our business couldindustry will be negatively impacted for a period of time. If this were to occur, our sales and we may not achieve our expected results of operations.

We may not fully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring plans or other operating or cost-saving initiatives, which may negatively impact our profitability.
In 2017 and 2018 we executed restructuring plans designed to more closely align our financial resources against the critical priorities of our business, and in February 2020, we announced that we are evaluating a potential restructuring planprospects for 2020. Our past plans included initiatives to improve operational efficiencies in targeted areas of our business, and included reductions in our global workforce. We may not achieve the operational improvements and efficiencies that we targeted in our past restructuring plans, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. The 2020 restructuring plan we are evaluating includes the potential decision to forego a flagship store in New York City while pursuing sublet options, in addition to further targeted cost saving measures we are assessing. If we fail to adopt a restructuring plan, our ability to optimize our cost structure will be negatively impacted. In addition, implementing any restructuring plan presents significant potential risks that may impair our ability to achieve anticipated operating improvements and/or cost reductions. These risks include, among others, higher than anticipated costs in implementing our restructuring plans, management distraction from ongoing business activities, failure to maintain adequate controls and procedures while executing our restructuring plans, damage to our reputation and brand image and workforce attrition beyond planned reductions. If we fail to achieve targeted operating improvements and/or cost reductions, our profitability and results of operations could be negatively impacted, which may be dilutive to our earnings in the short term.

Our business and results of operations could be negatively impacted by natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, public health or political crises or other catastrophic events.
We operate retail, distribution and warehousing facilities and offices across the world, and in locations subject to natural disasters or extreme weather conditions, as well as other potential catastrophic events, such as public health emergencies, terrorist attacks or political or military conflict. The occurrence of any of these events could disrupt our operations and negatively impact sales of our products. Our customers and suppliers also manage global operations and could experience similar disruption. In addition, an occurrence of these types of events could negatively impact consumer spending in the impacted region or, depending on the severity, globally, which could negatively impact our results of operations. For example, in December 2019, a strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, resulting in store closures and a decrease in consumer traffic in China, as well as potential delays in the manufacturing and shipment of products and raw materials to and from China. To the extent the impact of the coronavirus continues or worsens, we may have difficulty obtaining the materials necessary for the production and packaging of our products, factories which produce our products may remain closed for sustained periods of time, and industry-wide shipment of productsgrowth may be negatively impacted. We expect the coronavirus to negatively impact our results of operations, particularly our Asia-Pacific segment, though the extent and duration of this impact remain uncertain and may have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences, successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products or engage our consumers, our net revenues and profitability may be negatively impacted.
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. Our failure to anticipate and respond timely to changing consumer preferences or 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.

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. If we fail to introduce technical innovation in our products or design products in the categories and styles that consumers want, demand for our products could decline and our brand image could be negatively impacted. If we experience problems with the quality of our products, our brand reputation may be negatively

impacted and we may incur substantial expense to remedy the problems, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

Consumer shopping preferences and shifts in distribution channels continue to evolve and could negatively impact our results of operations or our future growth.
Consumer preferences regarding the shopping experience continue to rapidly evolve. We sell our products through a variety of channels, including through wholesale customers and distribution partners, as well as our own direct to consumer business consisting of our brand and factory house stores and e-commerce platforms. If we or our wholesale customers do not provide consumers with an attractive in-store experience, our brand image and results of operations could be negatively impacted. In addition, as part of our strategy to grow our e-commerce revenue, we are investing significantly in enhancing our platform capabilities and implementing systems to drive higher engagement with our consumers. If we do not successfully execute this strategy or continue to provide an engaging and user-friendly digital commerce platform that attracts consumers, our brand image and results of operations could be negatively impacted as well as our opportunities for future growth.

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.
We generate a significant portion of our wholesale revenues from sales to our largest customers. We currently do not enter into long term sales contracts with our 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 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. In addition, our customers continue to experience ongoing industry consolidation, particularly in the sports specialty sector. As this consolidation continues, it increases the risk that if any one customer significantly reduces their purchases of our products, we may be unable to find sufficient alternative customers to continue to grow our net revenues, or our net revenues may decline.

We must successfully manage the increasingly complex operations of our global business, or our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted.
We have expanded our business and operations rapidly since our inception and we must continue to successfully manage the operational difficulties associated with expanding our business to meet increased consumer demand throughout the world. 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 must also continually evaluate the need to expand critical functions in our business, including sales and marketing, product development and distribution functions, our management information systems and other processes and technology. To support these functions, we must hire, train and manage an increasing number of employees. We may not be successful in undertaking these types of initiatives cost effectively or at all, and could experience serious operating difficulties if we fail to do so. These growth efforts could also increase the strain on our existing resources. If we experience difficulties in supporting the growth of our business, we could experience an erosion of our brand image and a decrease in net revenues and net income.

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 the last two quarters of the year, which historically has been our peak season. 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;
11

Table of Contents
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 or at-once orders 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 or in less preferred distribution channels, 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, lost sales, 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 or cause us not to achieve our expected financial results.

Sales of performance products may not continue to grow or may decline, which could negatively impact our sales and our ability to grow our business.
If consumers are not convinced performance apparel, footwear and accessories 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 continue to grow or rather decline, our sales could be negatively impacted and we may not achieve our expected financial results. In addition, our ability to continue to grow our business in line with our expectations could be adversely impacted.

Our results of operations are affected by the performance of our equity investment, over which we do not exercise control.
We maintain a minority investment in our Japanese licensee, which we account for under the equity method, and are required to recognize our allocable share of its net income or loss in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, our results of operations are impacted by the licensee's performance under the license agreement. Our results of operations are affected by the performance of that business, over which we do not exercise control, and in 2019, our net income was negatively impacted by losses realized by that business. We are also required to regularly review our investment for impairment, and an impairment charge may result from the occurrence of adverse events or management decisions that impact the fair value or estimated future cash flows to be generated from our investment. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we impaired our investment and recognized a $39.0 million charge as a result. While the carrying value of our investment has been significantly reduced as a result of this impairment, we may be required to further impair our investment in the future.

We operate in highly competitive markets 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 competitors are large apparel and footwear companies with strong worldwide brand recognition. Within our international markets, we also compete with local brands that may have strong brand recognition amongst consumers within particular regions. Due to the fragmented nature of the industry, we also compete with other manufacturers, including those specializing in products similar to ours 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, digital and other resources,resources; longer operating histories,histories; better brand recognition among consumers,consumers; more experience in global marketsmarkets; greater ability to invest in technology, the digital consumer experience and innovations around sustainability; and greater economies of scale. In addition, our competitors have long termlong-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: 
by quickly adapting to changes in customer requirements or consumer preferences;
preferences, readily taking advantage of acquisition and other opportunities;
opportunities, discounting excess inventory that has been written down or written off;
off, devoting resources to the marketing and sale of their products, including significant advertising, media placement, partnerships and product endorsement;
endorsement, adopting aggressive pricing policies;policies and
engaging in lengthy and costly intellectual property and other disputes.
In addition, while one of our growth strategies has been to increase floor space for our products in retail stores and generallyin certain markets 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 have better sell through or 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 negative effect on our brand image and a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our profitability may decline or our growth may be negatively impacted as a result of increasing pressure on pricing.
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 or engage in more promotional activity than we anticipate, which could negatively impact our margins and cause our profitability to decline if we are unable to offset price reductions with comparable reductions in our operating costs. In addition,Ongoing and sustained promotional activities could negatively impact our ability to achieve short-term growth targets may be negatively impactedbrand image. On the other hand, if we are unwilling to engage in promotional activity on a scale similar to that of our competitors, for instance, to protect our premium brand positioning, and we are unable to simultaneously offset declining promotional activity with increased sales at premium price points. Thispoints, our ability to achieve short-term growth targets may be negatively impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and financial condition. In addition, ongoing and sustained promotional activities could negatively impactthe price of our brand image.stock.

Fluctuations in the cost of raw materials and commodities we use in our products and costs related to our supply chain could negatively affect our operating results.
The fabrics used by our suppliers and manufacturers are made of raw materials including petroleum-based products and cotton. Significant price fluctuations, including due to inflation, 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, such as those caused by COVID-19 related temporary closures and other restrictions placed on factories in key sourcing countries, or unexpected transportation delays, can alsosuch as those caused by COVID-19 related global logistics challenges, have caused and may continue to cause us to rely more heavily on airfreight to achieve timely delivery to our customers, whichcustomers. In addition, shipping costs have risen significantly increasesthroughout the world in 2021. These factors have and may continue to significantly increase our 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.
Our financial results and ability to grow our business may be negatively impacted by global events beyond our control.
We operate retail, distribution and warehousing facilities and offices around the world and substantially all of our manufacturers are located outside of the United States. We are subject to numerous risks and global events beyond our control which could negatively impact consumer spending or the operations of us or our customers or business partners, and therefore our results of operations, including: political or labor unrest; military conflict; terrorism; public health crises, disease epidemics or pandemics (such as COVID-19); natural disasters and extreme weather conditions, which may increase in frequency and severity due to climate change; economic instability resulting in the disruption of trade from foreign countries; the imposition of new laws and regulations, including those relating to labor conditions, minimum wage, quality and safety standards and disease epidemics or other public health concerns, as well as rules and regulations regarding climate change; changes in trade policy or actions of foreign or U.S. governmental authorities impacting trade and foreign investment, particularly during periods of heightened tension between U.S. and foreign governments, including the imposition of new import limitations, duties, tariffs, anti-dumping penalties, trade restrictions or restrictions on the transfer of funds; inflation; and changes in local economic conditions in countries where our stores, customers, manufacturers and suppliers are located.
These risks could hamper our ability to sell products, negatively affect the ability of our manufacturers to produce or deliver our products or procure materials and increase our cost of doing business generally, any of which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, profitability, cash flows and financial condition. In the 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.

Business and Operational Risks
We derive a substantial portion of our sales from large wholesale customers. If the financial condition of our customers declines, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
In Fiscal 2021, sales through our wholesale channel represented approximately 57% of our net revenues. We extend credit to our wholesale customers based on an assessment of a customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral or getting customer insurance against non-collection. We face increased risk of order reduction or cancellation and around collectibility when dealing with financially ailing customers or customers struggling with economic uncertainty. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our wholesale customers throughout the world had to temporarily close their stores or operate their stores under significant restrictions and experienced reduced consumer traffic and purchasing, which resulted in lower sales and cancellations of orders of our products. Many of our wholesale customers have been able to reopen their stores and have experienced a recovery in consumer traffic and purchasing, though consumer traffic in some areas remains below pre-pandemic levels. Given the ongoing uncertainty and constantly evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is uncertain whether our wholesale customers will have to temporarily close their stores or operate them under significant restrictions again, and whether they will again experience significantly reduced consumer traffic and purchasing. If
14

Table of Contents
our wholesale customers continue to experience significant disruptions, this could result in further reductions or cancellations of orders or late or extended payment terms to us, which could negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, during weak economic conditions, customers may be more cautious with orders or may slow investments necessary to maintain a high quality in-store experience for consumers, which may result in lower sales of our products. Furthermore, 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 company.
From time to time, certain of our customers have experienced financial difficulties. To the extent one or more of our customers experience significant financial difficulty, bankruptcy, insolvency or cease operations, this could have a material adverse effect on our sales, our ability to collect on receivables and our financial condition and results of operations.
We may not successfully execute our long-term strategies, which may negatively impact our results of operations.
Our ability to execute on our long-term strategies depends, in part, on successfully executing on strategic growth initiatives in key areas, such as our international business, footwear and our global direct-to-consumer sales channel. Our growth in these areas depends on our ability to continue to successfully grow our e-commerce and mobile application offerings and digital experiences throughout the world, expand our global network of Brand and Factory House stores and continue to successfully increase our product offerings and market share in footwear. Our ability to invest in these growth initiatives on the timeline and at the scale we expect will be negatively impacted if we again experience significant market disruption due to COVID-19 or other significant events, particularly if our North America business, which represented 67% of our total net revenues in Fiscal 2021, does not grow sufficiently. In addition, as we expand our global network of Brand and Factory House stores, if we are unable to operate our stores profitably, our financial results could be impacted, or we could be required to recognize impairment charges. Our long-term strategy also depends on our ability to successfully drive expansion of our gross margins, manage our cost structure and drive return on our investments. If we cannot effectively execute our long-term growth strategies while managing costs effectively, our business could be negatively impacted and we may not achieve our expected results of operations.
We may not fully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring plans or other operating or cost-saving initiatives, which may negatively impact our profitability.
Since 2017, we have executed three separate restructuring plans designed to more closely align our financial resources against the critical priorities of our business and rebalance our cost base to further improve future profitability and cash flow generation. We have also implemented several changes to our operating model and continue to refine our operating model in response to business and market conditions. We may not achieve the operational improvements and efficiencies that we targeted in our restructuring plans and operating model changes, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Implementing any restructuring plan or operating model change presents significant potential risks including, among others, higher than anticipated implementation costs, management distraction from ongoing business activities, failure to maintain adequate controls and procedures while executing our restructuring plans and operating model changes, damage to our reputation and brand image and workforce attrition beyond planned reductions. If we fail to achieve targeted operating improvements and/or cost reductions, our profitability and results of operations could be negatively impacted, which may be dilutive to our earnings in the short term.
If we are unable to anticipate consumer preferences, successfully develop and introduce new, innovative and updated products or engage our consumers, or if consumer preferences shift away from performance products, our sales, net revenues and profitability may be negatively impacted.
Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends and anticipate and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. All of our products are subject to changing consumer preferences that shift rapidly and cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, our new products may not receive consumer acceptance. In addition, long lead times for certain of our products may make it hard for us to respond quickly to changes in consumer demands. Our ability to adequately react to and address consumer preferences depends in part upon our continued ability to develop and introduce innovative, high-quality products and to optimize available consumer data. Moreover, if consumers are not convinced performance apparel, footwear and accessories are a better choice than, and worth the additional cost over, traditional alternatives, sales of performance products may not grow or decline and growth in the industry and our business could be adversely affected. In addition, consumers are increasingly focused on the environmental and social practices of brands, including the sustainability of the
15

Table of Contents
products sold. From time to time, we may also introduce limited run or specialized products that may increase our sales in the near term, but that may fail to maintain sustained consumer demand. If we are unable to effectively anticipate and respond to consumer preferences as a result of any of these factors, our brand image could be negatively impacted, and our sales, net revenues and profitability may be negatively impacted.
Consumer shopping and engagement preferences and shifts in distribution channels continue to evolve and if we fail to adapt accordingly our results of operations or future growth could be negatively impacted.
Consumer preferences regarding the shopping experience and how to engage with brands continue to rapidly evolve. We sell our products through a variety of channels, including through wholesale customers and distribution partners, as well as our own direct-to-consumer business consisting of our Brand and Factory House stores and e-commerce platforms. If we or our wholesale customers do not provide consumers with an attractive in-store experience, our brand image and results of operations could be negatively impacted. In addition, as part of our growth strategy, we are investing significantly in enhancing our online platform capabilities and implementing systems to evolve towards a more omni-channel approach to service our consumers. We are also investing in capabilities and tools to drive higher digital engagement with our consumers and create new digital experiences. If we do not successfully execute this strategy or continue to provide an engaging, reliable and user-friendly digital commerce platform or digital experiences that attract consumers, our brand image, and results of operations as well as our opportunities for future growth could be negatively impacted.
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.
We generate a significant portion of our wholesale revenues from sales to our largest customers. We currently do not enter into long-term sales contracts with our 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 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 or maintain 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 or loss. These risks have materially increased and may persist as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. In addition, our customers continue to experience ongoing industry consolidation, particularly in the sports specialty sector. As this consolidation continues, it increases the risk that if any one customer significantly reduces their purchases of our products, we may be unable to find sufficient alternative customers to continue to grow our net revenues, or our net revenues may decline materially. In addition, we may from time to time exit relationships with certain wholesale customers to further drive our premium brand position or for other reasons. This may negatively impact our net revenues if we are unable to replace those sales with additional sales to our other customers or direct sales to consumers.
We must successfully manage the increasingly complex operations of our global business, including continued expansion in certain markets where we have limited brand recognition, or our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted.
A significant element of our growth strategy depends on our continued expansion outside of North America, and we have limited brand recognition and operating experience in certain regions. We must continue to successfully manage the operational difficulties associated with expanding our business to meet increased consumer demand throughout the world. We have limited experience with regulatory requirements and market practices in certain regions outside of North America, and may face difficulties expanding into and successfully operating in those markets, including differences in regulatory environments, labor and market practices, and difficulties in keeping abreast of market, business and technical developments and consumers’ tastes and preferences. We must also continually evaluate the need to expand critical functions in our business, including sales and marketing, product development and distribution functions, our management information systems and other processes and technology. We may not manage these efforts cost-effectively or these efforts could increase the strain on our existing resources. If we experience difficulties in supporting the growth of our business, we could experience an erosion of our brand image or operational challenges leading to a decrease in net revenues and results from operations.

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 may be generated by at-once orders for immediate delivery to customers, particularly during the last two quarters of the calendar year, which historically has been our peak season. If we fail to accurately forecast customer demand we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product to deliver to our customers. Excess inventory may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs or sales at discounted prices or in less preferred distribution channels, negatively impacting gross margin. On the other hand, if we underestimate the demand for our products, our manufacturers may not be able to produce products to meet our customer requirements, resulting in delays in the shipment of our products and our ability to recognize revenue, lost sales, as well as damage to our reputation and retailer and distributor relationships.
Factors that could affect our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products include: changing consumer demand for our products; product introductions by competitors; unanticipated changes in general market or economic conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction or increase in the rate of reorders or at-once orders placed by retailers; the impact on consumer demand due to unseasonable weather conditions, which may become more frequent or severe as a result of climate change; and terrorism or acts of war, or the threat thereof, political or labor instability or unrest or public health concerns and disease epidemics, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.
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 or cause us not to achieve our expected financial results. These risks have materially increased and may persist with the market disruption caused by COVID-19.
We rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to provide raw materials 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.
13

Table of Contents
Many of the materials used in our products are technically advanced 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 2019, 10Fiscal 2021, ten manufacturers produced approximately 52%65% of our apparel and accessories products, and 6six produced approximately 96%substantially all of our footwear products. We have no long termlong-term contracts with our suppliers or manufacturing sources, and we compete with other companies for fabrics, raw materials production and import quotaproduction capacity.
A number of factors may require us to seek alternative or additional suppliers, which we may not be able to do in a timely or cost-effective manner. 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,Moreover, our unaffiliated manufacturerssuppliers may not be able to fill our orders in a timely manner. Ifmanner depending on market conditions or increased demand for product. For example, in Fiscal 2021 certain of our manufacturers experienced significant financial and operational disruption due to COVID-19, including in key sourcing countries. We have historically provided supply chain finance support to certain of our supply chain partners. In the past, the financial markets supporting supply chain finance programs experienced disruption that resulted in a temporary disruption to our program and challenged the cash flow and liquidity of our partners. While we worked with our partners through the disruption and have re-established a supply chain finance program, there can be no guarantee that such disruption will not occur again. Additionally, if one or more of our suppliers were to experience significant increased demand,financial difficulty, bankruptcy, insolvency or cease operations, or failed to comply with applicable labor or other laws, we may be required to seek alternative suppliers.
In addition, if 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, evenEven 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 (or higher net loss) both in the short and long term.
17

Table of Contents
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, unlessIf we are ableunable 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 or other 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 and cost effective 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 and disruptions at various ports or at our suppliers or manufacturers could create significant risks for our business, particularly if these disputes result in work slowdowns, decreased operations, lockouts, strikes or other disruptions during our peak importing or manufacturing seasons,seasons. For example, COVID-19 has resulted in delays and disruptions at ports due to workforce decreases, shipping backlogs and capacity constraints, container shortages and other disruptions. This has resulted, and may continue to result, in slower than planned deliveries of inventory and delayed sales to customers. If we experience significant delays or disruption in receiving and distributing our products, this could have an adverse effect on our business, potentially resulting in canceled orders by customers, unanticipated inventory accumulation or shortages, increased expense (including air freight) to deliver our products 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.
A significant element of our future growth strategy depends on our expansion efforts outside of North America. During the year ended December 31, 2019, 69% of ourincome or higher net revenues were earned in our North America segment. We have limited experience with regulatory environments and market practices in certain regions outside of North America, and may face difficulties in expanding to and successfully operating in those markets. International expansion may place increased demands on our operational, managerial and administrative resources and may be more costly than we expect. 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 more limited brand recognition leading to delayed acceptance of our products. Failure to successfully grow our business outside North America would negatively impact our ability to achieve our near-term and long-term growth targets.

Our financial results and ability to grow our business may be negatively impacted by economic, regulatory and political risks beyond our control.
Substantially all of our manufacturers are located outside of the United States and an increasing amount of our net revenue is generated by sales in our international business. As a result, 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 or requirements to transact in specific currencies;
the imposition of new laws and regulations, including those relating to labor conditions, quality and safety standards, as well as rules and regulations regarding climate change;
uncertainties and the ongoing effect of the United Kingdom’s withdraw from the European Union;
actions of foreign or U.S. governmental authorities impacting trade and foreign investment, particularly during periods of heightened tension between U.S. and foreign governments, including the imposition of new import limitations, duties, anti-dumping penalties, trade restrictions or restrictions on the transfer of funds;
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
disruptions or delays in shipments; and
changes in local economic conditions in countries where our stores, customers, manufacturers and suppliers are located.
These risks could hamper our ability to sell products in international markets, negatively affect the ability of our manufacturers to produce or deliver our products or procure materials and increase our cost of doing business generally, any of which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In the 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.

loss.
If we fail to successfully manage or realize expected results from acquisitions and other significant transactions or investments, or if we are required to recognize an impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets, it may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
From time to time, we may engage in acquisition opportunities we believe are complementary to our business and brand. Integrating acquisitionsacquired businesses can also require significant efforts and resources, which could divert management attention from more profitable business operations. From time to time we have also disposed of certain assets where we did not think our activities aligned to our operating model. If we fail to successfully integrate acquired businesses or effectively manage dispositions, we may not realize the financial benefits or other synergies we anticipated. In addition, in connection with our acquisitions, we may record goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. We have recognized goodwill impairment charges in the past. If an acquired business does not produce results consistent with financial models used in our analysis of an acquisition, or if reporting units carryingpast, and additional goodwill do not meet our current expectations of future growth rates or market factors outside of our control change significantly, then one or more of our reporting units or intangible assets might become impaired, whichimpairment charges could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. AsAdditionally, from time to time, we may invest in business infrastructure, new businesses and expansion of December 31, 2019,existing businesses, such as the fairexpansion of our network of Brand and Factory House stores and our distribution facilities, implementing our global operating and financial reporting information technology system, supporting our digital strategy (including our e-commerce platform), or supporting our corporate infrastructure (including the development of our new global headquarters in Port Covington in Baltimore). These investments require substantial cash investments and management attention, and infrastructure investments may also divert funds from other potential business opportunities. We believe cost effective investments are essential to business growth and profitability. The failure of any significant investment to provide the returns or synergies we expect could adversely affect our financial results.
The value of eachour brand and sales of our reporting units substantially exceeded its carrying value,products could be diminished if we are associated with negative publicity.
Our business could be adversely impacted if negative publicity regarding our brand, our company or our business partners diminishes the exceptionappeal of our Latin America reporting unit. While no eventsbrand to consumers. For example, while we require our suppliers, manufacturers and licensees of our products to operate their businesses in compliance with applicable laws and regulations as well as the social and other standards and policies we impose on them, including our code of conduct, we do not control the conduct of these third parties. A violation, or alleged violation of our policies, labor laws or other laws could interrupt or otherwise disrupt our sourcing or damage our brand image. Negative publicity regarding production methods, alleged practices or workplace or related conditions 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. The risk that our business partners may not act in accordance with our expectations may be exacerbated in markets where our direct sales, supply chain or logistics operations are not as widespread. In addition, we have occurredsponsorship contracts with a variety of athletes, teams and leagues, and many athletes and teams use our products. Negative publicity regarding these partners could negatively impact our brand image and result in diminished loyalty to our brand, regardless of whether such claims are accurate. Furthermore, social media can potentially accelerate and increase the scope of negative publicity. This could diminish the value of our proprietary rights or harm our reputation or have a negative effect on our sales and results of operations.

If we fail to meet the expectations of our stakeholders with respect to our environmental, social and governance practices, including those relating to sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion, it may have an adverse effect on our brand, sales of our products and our results of operations.
Certain customers, consumers, investors and other stakeholders are increasingly focusing on the environment, social and governance (“ESG”) practices of companies, including those related to sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion. If our ESG practices do not meet such stakeholder expectations and standards, which continue to evolve, our brand and reputation could be negatively impacted. Any sustainability report or other information that indicated it waswe publish or make may describe our practices, targets and commitments on a variety of ESG matters, including relating to our actions to address climate change, environmental targets and compliance, social and labor policies and practices, human capital management matters (including those relating to diversity, equity and inclusion) and the materials and manufacturing of our products. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with such disclosures, our ESG practices or the speed of their adoption. Our failure, or perceived failure, to meet stakeholder expectations or standards, or our targets or commitments, could harm our reputation, negatively impact our employee retention or have a negative effect on our sales and results of operations. We may also incur additional costs or require additional resources to monitor such stakeholder expectations and standards and to meet our targets and commitments.
The costs and return on our investments for our sports marketing sponsorships may become more likely than not that goodwill was impaired,challenging 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 and sponsorship agreements with a variety of sports teams and athletes at the collegiate and professional level to be their official supplier of performance apparel and footwear. We have also developed licensing agreements to be an impairmentofficial supplier of footwear and/or performance apparel to a variety of professional sports leagues and clubs. However, as competition in the performance apparel and footwear industry has increased, the costs associated with athlete sponsorships and official supplier licensing agreements, including the costs of obtaining and retaining these sponsorships and agreements, have varied and at times increased greatly. 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. In addition, because travel and business restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused and may continue to cause professional and collegiate athletics and other sporting events to be cancelled or delayed, we may not realize the expected benefits of these relationships. As a result, our brand image, net revenues, expenses and profitability could be materially adversely affected.
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 or malware, the proper operation of software and hardware, power interruptions or other system failures. In addition, because many of our products are distributed from a limited number of locations, our operations could also be interrupted by severe weather conditions, floods, fires or other natural disasters in these locations, as well as labor or other operational difficulties or interruptions, including public health crises or disease epidemics. For example, the current COVID-19 pandemic may impede our ability to operate our distribution facilities at full capacity and may similarly impact our third-party logistics providers. 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 or from all types of events causing such disruptions. Significant disruptions could lead to 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. This includes the shipping of product to and from our distribution facilities, as well as partnering with third-party distribution facilities in certain regions where we do not maintain our own facilities. From time to time, certain of our partners have experienced and may continue to experience disruptions to their operations, including cyber-related disruptions and disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. If we or our partners encounter such problems, our results of operations, as well as 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 or interruption of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business.
We rely on our own and our vendors' information technology throughout our business operations, including to design, forecast and order product, manage and maintain our inventory and internal reports, manage sales and distribution, operate our e-commerce website and mobile applications, process transactions, manage retail operations and other key business activities. We also communicate electronically throughout the world with our employees and with third parties, such as customers, suppliers, vendors and consumers. Our operations are dependent on the reliable performance of these systems and technologies and their underlying technical infrastructure, which incorporate complex software. Any of these information systems could fail or experience a service interruption for a number of reasons, including computer viruses, ransomware or other malware, programming errors, hacking or other unlawful activities, disasters or a failure to properly maintain system redundancy or protect, repair, maintain or upgrade the systems. For example, in 2021, a remote code execution vulnerability in Apache log4j was identified as affecting large amounts of systems worldwide, including ours. We have not experienced any material operational disruptions related to this event.
From time to time we have experienced, and may continue to experience, operational disruption due to attacks on our systems and those of our vendors. Although we maintain certain business continuity plans, there can be no assurance that our business continuity plans, or those of our vendors, will anticipate all material risks that may arise or will effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner or adequately protect us from the adverse effects that could be caused by significant disruptions in key information technology. 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, lost sales, the exposure of sensitive business of personal information and damage to the reputation of our brand. Depending on the system and scope of disruption, in some instances a service interruption or shutdown could have a material adverse impact on our operating activities or results of operations. Remediation and repair of any failure, problem or breach of our key systems or known potential vulnerabilities could require significant capital investments, as well as divert resources and management attention from key projects or initiatives.
We also heavily rely on information systems to process financial and accounting information for financial reporting purposes. If we experience any significant disruption to our financial information systems that we are unable to mitigate, our ability to timely report our financial results could be impacted, which could negatively impact our stock price.
Our future ifsuccess is substantially dependent on the continued service of our current expectationssenior management and other key employees, and our continued ability to attract and retain highly talented new team members.
Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management, particularly Kevin A. Plank, our founder, Executive Chairman and Brand Chief, Patrik Frisk, our Chief Executive Officer and President, other top executives and key employees who have substantial experience and expertise in our business, including product creation, innovation, sales, marketing, supply chain, informational technology, operational and other support personnel. 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 and could result in harm to key customer relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment and training costs.
In addition, to profitably grow our business and manage our operations, we will need to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly talented management and other employees with a range of skills, backgrounds and experiences. Competition for employees in our industry is intense and in Fiscal 2021, we experienced the effects of increased employee turnover that impacted global labor markets in many of our key operating jurisdictions. Additionally, adoption of new work models and requirements about when or how often employees work on-site or remotely may present new challenges. As certain jobs and employers increasingly operate remotely, traditional geographic competition for talent may change in ways that cannot be fully predicted at this reporting unittime, If we are unable to attract, retain and motivate management and other employees with the necessary skills, we may not met.be able to grow or successfully operate our business and achieve our long-term objectives. In addition, we have invested significant time and resources in building, maintaining and evolving our company culture and our values, which we believe to be critical to our future success. Failure to maintain and continue to evolve our culture could negatively affect our ability to attract, retain and motivate talented management and employees and to achieve our long-term objectives.

Our credit agreement contains financial covenants, and both our credit agreement and debt securities contain other restrictions on our actions, which could 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 our credit facility and the issuance of debt securities. Our debt securitiesSenior Notes limit our ability to, subject to certain significant exceptions, incur secured debt and engage in sale leaseback transactions. Our amended credit agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions limit our ability, among other things to incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, sell or dispose of assets, pledge assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, undergo fundamental changes and enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition, we must maintain a certain leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as defined in the amended credit agreement. Our ability to continue to borrow amounts under our amended credit agreement is limited by continued compliance with these financial covenants, and in the past we have amended our credit agreement to increase these ratios inprovide certain quarterlyrelief from and revisions to our financial covenants for specified periods to provide us with sufficient access to liquidity during those periods. 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 amended credit agreement or our debt securitiesSenior Notes could result in a default. default, which could negatively impact our access to liquidity.
In addition, the amended credit agreement includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under certain other debt obligations (including our debt securities) will be considered an

If an event of default occurs, the commitments of the lenders under the amended credit agreement may be terminated and the maturity of amounts owed may be accelerated. Our debt securities include a cross acceleration provision which provides that the acceleration of certain other debt obligations (including our credit agreement) will be considered an event of default under our debt securities and, subject to certain time and notice periods, give bondholders the right to accelerate our debt securities.

We may need to raise additional capital required to manage and grow our business, and we may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.
GrowingManaging and operatinggrowing our business will require significant cash outlays and capital expenditures and commitments. We have utilized cash on hand and cash generated from operations, accessed our credit facility and issued debt securities as sources of liquidity. IfFor example, during the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2020, our cash generated from operations was negatively impacted due to widespread temporary store closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.7 billion. However, if in future periods our cash on hand, and cash generated from operations and availability under our credit agreement 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.operations and future growth, and we may be unable to obtain debt and/or equity financing on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to access the credit and capital markets in the future as a source of liquidity, and the borrowing costs associated with such financing, are dependent upon market conditions and our credit rating and outlook. Our credit ratings have been downgraded previously,in the past, and we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain our current ratings, which could increase our cost of borrowing in the future. In addition, equity 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.
In addition, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced in 2017 that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. Our credit agreement permits us to borrow based on an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin. While the credit agreement provides for a mechanism for determining an alternative interest rate following this phase out, uncertainty regarding alternative rates may make borrowing under our credit agreement or refinancing our other indebtedness more expensive or difficult to achieve on terms we consider favorable.

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 publicly traded common stock.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal and quarterly variations in our net revenues and income or loss from operations. These variations are primarily related to the mix of our products sold during the fall selling season, including our higher price cold weather products, along with a larger proportion of higher margin direct to consumer sales. Our quarterly results may also vary based on the timing of customer orders. The majority of our net revenues wereare historically generated during the last two quarters in each of 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
the calendar year. 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 our customer orders, our ability to timely delivery, 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
21

Table of Contents
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 publicly traded stock to fluctuate significantly.

Our results of operations are affected by the performance of our equity investments, over which we do not exercise control.
We maintain certain minority investments, and may in the future invest in additional minority investments, which we account for under the equity method, and are required to recognize our allocable share of its net income or loss in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our results of operations are affected by the performance of these businesses, over which we do not exercise control, and our net income or loss may be negatively impacted by losses realized by these investments. For example, we have previously recognized losses related to our Japanese licensee’s business. We are also required to regularly review our investments for impairment, and an impairment charge may result from the occurrence of adverse events or management decisions that impact the fair value or estimated future cash flows to be generated from our investments. In addition, to the extent our Japanese licensee continues to experience challenges in the performance of its business, we may not continue to realize the licensing revenues from our Japanese licensee in line with its past results, which could negatively impact our net revenues and results of operations. Furthermore, based on its financial performance, our ability to recover our investment in the long term may be limited.
Our financial results could be adversely impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations.
WeDuring Fiscal 2021, we generated approximately 28%33% of our consolidated net revenues outside 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.

The value of our brand and sales of our products could be diminished if we are associated with negative publicity.
Our business could be adversely impacted if negative publicity regarding our brand, our company or our business partners diminishes the appeal of our brand to consumers. For example, while we require our suppliers, manufacturers and licensees of our products to operate their businesses in compliance with applicable laws and regulations as well as the social and other standards and policies we impose on them, including our code of conduct, we do not control their practices. A violation, or alleged violation of our policies, labor laws or other laws could interrupt or otherwise disrupt our sourcing or damage our brand image. Negative publicity regarding production methods, alleged practices or workplace or related conditions 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 withpreviously designated cash flow hedges against certain forecasted transactions. If we determine that such a variety of athletestransaction is no longer probable to occur in the time period we expected, we are required to de-designate the hedging relationship and feature those athletesimmediately recognize the derivative instrument gain or loss in our advertisingearnings. The ongoing impacts of COVID-19 have caused and marketing efforts,may continue to cause uncertainty in forecasted cash flows, which has resulted 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. These and other types of negative publicity, especially through social media which potentially accelerates and increases the scope of negative publicity, could negatively impact our brand image andmay continue to result in diminished loyalty to our brand, regardlessthe de-designation of whether such claims are accurate.

We rely significantly on information technology and any failure, inadequacy or interruption of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business.
Our business relies on information technology. 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. We also heavily rely on information systems to process financial and accounting information for financial reporting purposes. Any of these information systems could fail or experience a service interruption for a number of reasons, including computer viruses or malware, programming errors, hacking or other unlawful activities, disasters or our failure to properly maintain system redundancy or protect, repair, maintain or upgrade our systems. The failure of our information 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, which could negatively impact our financial results.

We also communicate electronically throughout the world with our employees and with third parties, such as customers, suppliers, vendors and consumers. A service interruption or shutdown could have a materially adverse impact on our operating activities. Remediation and repair of any failure, problem or breach of our key information systems could require significant capital investments.
In addition, we interact with many of our consumers through both our e-commerce website and our mobile applications, and these systems face similar risk of interruption or attack. Consumers increasingly utilize these services to purchase our products and to engage with our Connected Fitness community. If we are unable to continue to provide consumers a user-friendly experience and evolve our platform to satisfy consumer preferences, the growth of our e-commerce business and our net revenues may be negatively impacted. The performance of our Connected Fitness business is dependent on reliable performance of its products, applications and services and the underlying technical infrastructure, which incorporate complex software. If this software contains errors, bugs or other vulnerabilities which impede or halt service, this could result in damage to our reputation and brand, loss of users or loss of revenue.

Data security or privacy breaches could damage our reputation, cause us to incur additional expense, expose us to litigation and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We collect sensitive and proprietary business information as well as personally identifiable information in connection with digital marketing, digital commerce, our in-store payment processing systems and our Connected Fitness business. In particular, indigital business (including our Connected Fitness business weMapMyFitness platform). We collect and store a variety of information regarding our users,consumers, and on some of our platforms allow users to share their personal information with each other and with third parties. We also rely on third parties for the operation of certain of our e-commerce websites, and do not control these service providers. HackersLike other companies in our industry, we have in the past experienced, and data thieves are increasingly sophisticatedwe expect to continue to experience, cyberattacks, including phishing, cyber fraud incidents and operate large scaleother attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems. These attempted attacks have increased as COVID-19 has progressed and complex automated attacks.many employees continue to work from home. To date, these attacks have not had a material impact on our operations, but there can be no assurance that they will not have an impact in the future. Any breach of our data security or that of our service providers could result in an unauthorized release or transfer of customer, consumer, vendor user or employee information, or the loss of money, valuable business data or

cause a disruption in our business. These events could give rise to unwanted media attention, damage our reputation, damage our customer, consumer or user relationships and result in lost sales, fines or lawsuits. We may also be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against or respond to or alleviate problems caused by a security breach, which could negatively impact our results of operations.
For example, in early 2018 an unauthorized third party acquired data associated with our Connected Fitness users' accounts for our MyFitnessPal application and website. Approximately 150 million user accounts were affected by this issue, and the affected information included usernames, email addresses and hashed passwords. We continue to face legal proceedings in connection with this incident, and we may face claims or investigations by government regulators and agencies. We may also be required to incur additional expense to further enhance our data security infrastructure.
We must also comply with increasingly complex and evolving regulatory standards throughout the world enacted to protect personal information and other data.data, including the General Data Protection Regulation, the ePrivacy Directive, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the California Privacy Rights Act, the Virginia Consumer Data Privacy Act, the Colorado Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection Law in China. These laws and related regulations impact our ability to engage with our consumers, and some of these privacy laws prohibit the transfer of personal information to certain other jurisdictions. Compliance with existing proposed and forthcoming laws and regulations can be costly and could negatively impact our profitability. In addition, an inabilityMoreover, data privacy laws and regulations continue to maintain complianceevolve and it may be costly for us to adjust our operations to comply with new requirements. Regulatory bodies throughout the world have increased enforcement efforts against companies who fail to comply with privacy requirements. Failure to comply with these regulatory standards could result in a violation of data privacy laws and regulations and subject us to litigationlegal proceedings against us by governmental entities or other regulatory proceedings. For example, the European Union adopted a new regulation that became effective in May 2018, called the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which requires companies to meet new requirements regarding the handlingothers, imposition of personal data, including its use, protection and transfer and the ability of persons whose data is stored to correct or delete such data about themselves. Failure to meet the GDPR requirements could result in penalties of up to 4% of annual worldwide revenue. The GDPR also confers a private right of action on certain individuals and associations. Other jurisdictions are considering adopting similar or stricter measures. For example, in January 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act took effect, and establishes transparency roles and creates new data privacy rights for consumers. Any of these factors could negatively impact our profitability, result infines by governmental authorities, negative publicity and damage to our brand image, or cause the size of our Connected Fitness community to decline.

We are in the process of implementing a new operating and information system, which involves risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business.
In 2015, we began the process of implementing a global operating and financial reporting information technology system, SAP Fashion Management Solution ("FMS"), as part of a multi-year plan to integrate and upgrade our systems and processes. The first phase of this implementation became operational during 2017 in our North America, EMEA and Connected Fitness operations. The next phase of this implementation became operational in 2019 in our Asia-Pacific region, and we are currently in the process of implementing FMS in our Latin American region, which is expected to become operational in 2020. Implementation of new information systems involves risks and uncertainties. Any disruptions, delays, or deficiencies in the design, implementation or application of these systems could result in increased costs, disruptions in our ability to effectively source, sell or ship our products, delays in the collection of payment from our customers or adversely affect our ability to timely report our financial results, all of which could materially adversely affecthave a negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

profitability.
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 (federal and state) 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 and regulations or their interpretations and application, the outcome of income tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world, and any repatriation of non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided applicable foreign withholding taxes, certain U.S. state income taxes, or foreign exchange rate impacts.
For example, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on December 22, 2017, which had a significant impact to our provision for income taxes. The Tax Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required under U.S. tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the Tax Act, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced. The U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and U.S. states taxing authorities could interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered that is different from our interpretation.

Additionally,Moreover, we also engage in multiple types of intercompany transactions, and our allocation of profits and losses among us and our subsidiaries through our intercompany transfer pricing arrangements are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service and foreign tax authorities. Although we believe we have clearly reflected the economics of these transactions in accordance with current rules and regulations, which are generally consistent with the arms-length standard, and the proper documentation is in place, tax authorities may propose and sustain adjustments that could result in changes that may materially impact our tax provision. Moreover,
Additionally, many countries have implemented legislation and other guidance to align their international tax rules with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and DevelopmentDevelopment’s (“OECD”) Base Erosion and many of the countries inProfit Shifting recommendations and action plan, which we do business continueaim to evaluatestandardize and modernize global corporate tax policy and include changes to cross-border tax, laws which could significantly impact the allocation of profitstransfer pricing documentation rules and losses among us and our subsidiaries and impact our mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory rates.
We regularly assess all these matters to determine the adequacy of ournexus-based 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 the ongoing expansion of our network of brand and factory house stores and our distribution facilities, investments to implement our global operating and financial reporting information technology system, or investments to support our digital strategy. These investments require substantial cash investments and management attention. We believe cost effective investments are essential to business growth and profitability. The failure of any significant investment to provide the returns or synergies we expect could adversely affect our financial results. Infrastructure investments may also divert funds from other potential business opportunities.

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, Executive Chairman and Brand Chief and Patrik Frisk, our Chief Executive Officer and President and other top executives. 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, innovation, 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.
To be successful in continuing to profitably grow our business and manage our operations, 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 and achieve our long term objectives.

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 the majority of 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.

OurAs a result of this heightened scrutiny, we may experience an increase in income tax audits and prior decisions by tax authorities regarding treatments and positions of corporate income taxes could be subject to enforcement activities and/or legislative investigation, which could also result in changes in tax policies or prior tax rulings. Any such activities may result in the taxes we previously paid being subject to change, which could have a material impact on our tax provision.
Further, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act in November 2021 and the U.S. Senate Finance Committee has drafted similar legislation. If these or similar legislation is enacted in the United States, it could materially and adversely impact our tax provision, cash tax liability and effective tax rate.
In addition, member states of the OECD are continuing discussions surrounding fundamental changes to the taxing rights of governments and allocation of profits among tax jurisdictions in which companies do business. Specifically, the OECD has proposed rules intended to provide governments new taxing rights over the digital economy and specified digital services as well as the implementation of a global minimum tax (“Pillar One” and “Pillar Two,” respectively). The enactment of the Pillar One and/or Pillar Two Model Rules in jurisdictions where we have operations may have a material impact on our global transfer pricing arrangements and a materially adverse impact on our tax provision, cash tax liability and effective tax rate.

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 our digital business. 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 or providing 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.

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,anti-counterfeiting and 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,brand and 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.

business and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are the subject of a number of ongoing legal proceedings that have resulted in significant expense, and adverse developments in our ongoing proceedings and/or future legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

We are currentlyactively involved in a variety of litigation investigations and other legal matters and may be subject to additional litigations, investigations, arbitration proceedings, audits, regulatory inquiries and similar actions, including matters related to commercial disputes, intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, environmental, tax, accounting, class action and product liability, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry, which we refer to collectively as legal proceedings. For example, we are subject to an ongoing securities class action proceeding regarding our prior disclosures (including regarding the use of "pull forward" sales) and derivative complaints regarding related matters, as well as past related party transactions, among other legal proceedings. Refer to Note 89 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these specific matters. In addition, as previously disclosed in November 2019, we have been responding to requests for documents and information from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice regarding certain of our accounting practices and related disclosures.
Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. We cannot predict the outcome of any particular legal proceeding, or whether ongoing legal proceedings will be resolved favorably or ultimately result in charges or material damages, fines or other penalties.

The trading prices of our Class A and Class C common stock may differ and fluctuate from time to time in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Common Stock
Kevin Plank, our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief, controls the majority of the voting power of our common stock.
Our Class A common stock has one vote per share, our Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and our Class C common stock has no voting rights (except in limited circumstances). Our Executive Chairman and Brand Chief, Kevin A. Plank, beneficially owns all outstanding shares of Class B common 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. Under certain circumstances, the Class B common stock automatically converts to Class A common stock, which would also result in the conversion of our Class C common stock into Class A common stock. As specified in our charter, these circumstances include when Mr. Plank beneficially owns less than 15.0% of the total number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding, if Mr. Plank were to resign as an Approved Executive Officer of the Company (or was otherwise terminated for cause) or if Mr. Plank sells more than a specified number of any class of our common stock within a one-year period. This concentration of voting control may have various effects including, but not limited to, delaying or preventing a change of control or allowing us to take action that the majority of our shareholdersstockholders do not otherwise support. In addition, we utilize shares of our Class C common stock to fund employee equity incentive programs and may do so in connection with future stock-based acquisition transactions, which could prolong the duration of Mr. Plank’s voting control.

Overview
OVERVIEW
We are a leading developer, marketer, and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear, and accessories. TheOur brand’s moisture-wicking fabrications are engineered in many differentvarious 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 asand by consumers with active lifestyles. The
During Fiscal 2021, we realized better than expected wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales based on better sell through and demand for Under Armour Connected Fitness strategy isproducts in North America, Asia-Pacific, and EMEA. Throughout Fiscal 2021, we remained focused on engaging with these consumers and increasing awareness and salesthe quality of our products.
Our net revenues grew to $5,267.1 million in 2019 from $3,963.3 million in 2015. We believe that our growth in net revenues has beensales driven by a growing interestfour main strategies, particularly in performance productsour North America business: reducing our promotional activities; constraining supply against demand; exiting undifferentiated retail; and maintaining an appropriate level of liquidation sales within our wholesale channel. Strategically and operationally, we remain focused on driving premium brand-right growth and improved profitability. Over the strength of the Under Armour brand in the marketplace. Our long-termlong term, our growth strategy is predicated on delivering industry-leading product innovation; return-driven investments focused on increased salesconnecting with our consumers through marketing activations and premium experiences; and the expansion of our products through ongoing product innovation, investment in our distribution channelsdirect-to-consumer and international expansion. While we plan to continue to invest in growth, we also plan to improve efficiencies throughout our business as we seek to gain scale through our operations and return on our investments.businesses.
Fiscal 2021 Performance
Financial highlights for full year 2019Fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year periodFiscal 2020 include:
Total net revenues increased 27.0%.
Within our channels, wholesale revenue increased 36.2% and direct-to-consumer revenue increased 25.6%.
Within our product categories, apparel revenue increased 33.3%, footwear revenue increased 35.3%, and accessories revenue increased 11.5%.
Net revenue in our North America, EMEA, Asia-Pacific, and Latin-America segments increased 29.4%, 40.8%, 32.3%, and 18.5%, respectively.

A large majority of our products are sold in North America; however, we believe our products appealRestructuring and impairment charges, net decreased 93.3% from $601.6 million during Fiscal 2020 to athletes and consumers with active lifestyles around the globe. Internationally, our net revenues are generated primarily from a mix of sales to retailers and distributors in our wholesale channel and sales through our direct to consumer channel in Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific.
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 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 or negatively impact our financial results, including, among others, the risk of general economic or market conditions that could affect consumer spending and the financial health of our retail customers. For example, recent and ongoing developments regarding the coronavirus may negatively impact our results of operations. Additionally, we may not be able to successfully execute on our long-term strategies, or successfully manage the increasingly complex operations of our global business effectively. Although we have implemented restructuring plans in the past and may implement additional plans in the future, we$40.5 million during Fiscal 2021.

may not fully realizeCOVID-19 Update
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and we expect will continue to cause, disruption and volatility in our business and in the expected benefitsbusinesses of these plansour wholesale customers, licensing partners, suppliers, logistics providers and vendors.
For instance, during Fiscal 2021 the pandemic caused manufacturing challenges, with temporary closures or other operatingrestrictions placed on factories, in key sourcing countries in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, where we source approximately one third of our products, and certain partners continue to operate at reduced capacity. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused global logistical challenges, including shipping container shortages, transportation delays, labor shortages and port congestion. These challenges have disrupted some of our normal inbound and outbound inventory flow, which has required us to incur increased freight costs, and are impacting the timing of sales to some of our customers as we work to manage product availability and inventory levels and in certain cases adjust orders and shipping with our factory partners and logistic suppliers. Simultaneously, freight and logistics costs have significantly increased throughout global supply chains. We expect that these manufacturing and sourcing challenges will continue into the next few quarters and will negatively impact our financial results, resulting in delayed sales to certain of our wholesale customers as well as unfulfilled demand or cost-saving initiatives. In addition, we may not consistentlycancelled sales. We also expect gross margin to be ablenegatively impacted due to anticipate consumer preferencesincreased freight costs and develop newlogistics costs over the next few quarters.
Moreover, governments worldwide continue to periodically impose preventative and innovative products that meet changing preferencesprotective actions, such as temporary travel bans, forced business closures, and stay-at-home orders, all in a timely manner. Furthermore, our industry is very competitive, and competition pressures could cause usan effort to reduce the pricesspread of the virus. However, such government measures are not implemented consistently or simultaneously around the world, thus making our business susceptible to volatility on a global and regional basis. We believe we may continue to experience varying degrees of volatility, business disruptions and periods of closure of our products or otherwise affectstores, distribution centers and corporate facilities, although, as of December 31, 2021, substantially all of our profitability. We also rely on third-party suppliersBrand and manufacturers outsideFactory House stores and the U.S. to provide fabricsstores of our wholesale customers were open. Where reopening has been permitted, some of these retail stores are operating with restrictive and to produce our products,precautionary measures in place such as reduced operating hours, physical distancing, enhanced cleaning and sanitation, and limited occupancy levels.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related disruptions across the global supply chain and retail environment, remains a risk that could have material adverse impacts to our supply chain could harmfuture revenue growth as well as to our business. Our results may also be negatively impacted byoverall profitability. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance depends on future developments that are outside of our Japanese licensee.control. For a more complete discussion of the COVID-19 related risks facing our business, refer to the “Risk Factors”our "Risk Factors" section included in Item 1A. 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In connection with global legislation, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, we recognized certain incentives totaling $2.5 million for Fiscal 2021, and $9.0 million for Fiscal 2020. The incentives were recorded as a reduction of the associated costs which we incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Effects of Inflation
Despite recent heightened inflation in key global markets, including the United States, we do not believe that inflation had a material impact on our results of operations in Fiscal 2021 or Fiscal 2020. However, our business could be impacted by continued or increasing inflation in future periods. See "Risk Factors—Economic and Industry Risks—Our business depends on consumer purchases of discretionary items, which can be negatively impacted during an economic downturn or periods of inflation. This could materially harm our sales, profitability and financial condition" and "—Fluctuations in the cost of raw materials and commodities we use in our products and costs related to our supply chain could negatively affect our operating results" included in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In connectionFiscal Year End Change
During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31, effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2022. Because our largest quarters are currently realized in the period from July 1 through December 31, we believe that this change will provide greater alignment with the Corporate Other presentation discussed above, effective Januaryour business cycle and financial reporting. There was no change to Fiscal 2021, which ended on December 31, 2021. Following a three month-transition period (January 1, 2019, we changed the way we internally analyze marketing.

2020 Restructuring Initiative
In FebruaryDuring Fiscal 2020, we announced that we are currently assessingour Board of Directors approved a potential 2020 restructuring initiativeplan ranging between $550.0 million to $600.0 million in costs (the "2020 restructuring plan") designed to rebalance our cost base to further improve profitability and cash flow generation. In connection
Restructuring and related impairment charges and recoveries require us to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing as to when these charges or recoveries occur. The estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and may revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate, as new or updated information becomes available. As of December 31, 2021, we currently estimate total restructuring and related charges associated with this initiative, we are considering $325the 2020 restructuring plan will range between $525.0 million to $425$550.0 million.
The restructuring and related charges primarily consist of up to approximately:

2017 and 2018 Restructuring Plans
In both 2017 and 2018, our Board of Directors approved restructuring plans (the "2017 restructuring plan" and "2018 restructuring plan") designed to more closely align our financial resources with the critical priorities of our business and optimize operations. We recognized approximately $203.9 million of pre-tax charges in connection with our 2018 restructuring plan and approximately $129.1 million of pre-tax charges in connection with our 2017 restructuring plan, inclusive of $28.6 million of restructuring related goodwill impairment charges for our Connected Fitness business.

Other is the operating results of the remaining Connected Fitness business consisting of MMR for Fiscal 2021 and the entire Connected Fitness for Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019. All prior periods were recast to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total consolidated revenues, consistconsolidated income from operations or consolidated net income (see Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net sales
Net sales increased by $1,336.3 million, or 31.6%, to $5,567.3 million in Fiscal 2021 from $4,231.0 million in Fiscal 2020, primarily driven by increased unit sales across all our product categories. These increases as compared to Fiscal 2020 were primarily due to the significant COVID-19 disruptions we experienced during Fiscal 2020, including cancellations of digital advertisingorders by our wholesale partners and subscriptionsclosures of retail stores. Net sales growth for Fiscal 2021 was also impacted by previously disclosed changes to customer order flow and supply chain timing resulting in sales shifting from the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 to the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. Net sales for Fiscal 2021 increased 12% compared to Fiscal 2019.
License revenues
License revenues increased by $6.8 million, or 6.5%, to $112.6 million in Fiscal 2021, from $105.8 million in Fiscal 2020, driven by higher demand and improved business and financial conditions of our licensees. The increased revenue was primarily from our Connected Fitness business.licensing partners in North America, as this region continues to recover from the impacts of COVID-19.
Corporate Other revenues
Revenues from Corporate Other decreased by $134.3 million in Fiscal 2021, primarily due to the sale of MyFitnessPal in December 2020. See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, inbound freight and duty costs, outbound freight costs, handling costs to make products floor-ready to customer specifications, royalty payments to endorsers based on a predetermined percentage of sales of selected products, and write downs for inventory obsolescence. 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. A limited portion of cost of goods sold is associated with licensedigital subscription and Connected Fitnessadvertising revenues, primarily website hosting costs, and no cost of goods sold is associated with our license revenues.
We include outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold; however, we include the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies that include outbound handling costs in their cost of goods sold. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate our distribution facilities. These costs were $81.0 million, $91.8$82.9 million and $101.5$80.5 million for Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively.
Gross profit increased by $701.4 million to $2,861.5 million in Fiscal 2021, as compared to $2,160.1 million in Fiscal 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, increased 210 basis points to 50.3%, compared to 48.3% in Fiscal 2020.
This increase in gross margin was primarily driven by the years endedfollowing benefits:
approximately 360 basis points of pricing improvements driven by lower promotional activity within our direct-to-consumer channel, favorable pricing related to liquidation sales and lower promotions and markdowns across our wholesale channel; and
approximately 40 basis points from changes in foreign currency.
These benefits were partially offset by the following negative impacts:
approximately 110 basis points related to the absence of MyFitnessPal, which was sold in December 31, 2019, 20182020;
approximately 50 basis points related to supply chain impacts as benefits in product costs were more than offset by higher inbound freight and 2017, respectively.logistics costs due to COVID-19-related supply chain pressures; and
approximately 30 basis points related to channel mix as benefits of lower liquidation sales were more than offset by lower e-commerce and a higher distributor sales.
We expect freight costs to continue negatively impacting our gross margin for the next few quarters.

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

The increase in net sales was driven primarily by unit sales growth in footwear, resulting from strength in our run category. The increase was partially offset by unit sales decline in accessories driven by softer demand.
Licenserevenues increased $14.0 million, or 11.2%, to $138.8 million in 2019 from $124.8 million in 2018, primarily driven by minimum guaranteed royalties and settlements with two of our North America licensing partners.
Connected Fitnessrevenue increased $16.0 million, or 13.3%, to $136.4 million in 2019 from $120.4 million in 2018 primarily driven by an increase in new subscription revenue and a one-time development fee from a partner. This was partially offset by a decrease in media revenue.

Gross profitFiscal 2021 as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, increased to 46.9% in 2019 compared to 45.1% in 2018.Fiscal 2020. This increase in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:
approximate 90 basis point increase driven by supply chain initiatives related to favorable product costs and lower air freight;
approximate 50 basis point increase driven by channel mix, primarily due to a lower percentagegain of off-price sales within our wholesale channel; and
approximate 40 basis point increase driven by restructuring related charges in the prior year period.
With the exception of improvements in supply chain initiatives related to product cost improvements, we do not expect these trends to have a material impact$179.3 million on the full yearsale of MyFitnessPal platform in Fiscal 2020.

These positive impacts were partially offset by the impact of the decrease in the U.S. federal rate applied to U.S. pre-tax losses in 2018.
As of December 31, 2018, we had completed our accounting for the one-time tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act. Our 2018 provision for income taxes included a $1.5 million charge to income tax expense as a result of completing this accounting. This was comprised of $12.0 million of income tax expense related to the transition tax and $(10.5) million of income tax benefit for the re-measurement of deferred tax assets for the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

during the fall selling season, including 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.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and LiquidityLIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash requirements have principally been for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our working capital, primarily inventory, and capital investments from cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and borrowings available under our credit and long term debt facilities and the issuance of debt securities.facilities. Our working capital requirements generally reflect the seasonality and growth in our business as we historically recognize the majority of our net revenues in the back halflast two quarters of the calendar year. Our capital investments have generally included expanding our in-store fixture and branded concept shop program, improvements and expansion of our distribution and

corporate facilities, to support our growth, leasehold improvements to our brandBrand and factory houseFactory 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 including our global operating and financial reporting information technology system, 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 houseFactory House stores and other liquidation channels.
As of December 31, 2021, we had $1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations, our ability to reduce our expenditures as needed, borrowings available to us under our amended credit agreement, and other financing instruments and our ability to access the capital markets, and other financing alternatives are adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. AlthoughIn addition, from time to time, based on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we believemay seek to utilize cash on hand, borrowings or raise capital to retire, repurchase or redeem our debt securities, repay debt, repurchase shares of our common stock or otherwise enter into similar transactions to support our capital structure and business or utilize excess cash flow on a strategic basis. For example, in May 2021 and August 2021, we have adequateentered in Exchange Agreements pursuant to which we repurchased $250 million and $169.1 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes in exchange for a combination of cash and shares for our Class C Common Stock.
As discussed above, COVID-19 has continued to create supply chain challenges that will impact the availability of inventory over the next few quarters. If there are unexpected material impacts to our business in future periods from COVID-19 and we need to raise or conserve additional cash to fund our operations, we may consider additional alternatives similar to those we used in Fiscal 2020, including further reducing our expenditures, changing our investment strategies, negotiating payment terms with our customers and vendors, reductions in compensation costs, including through temporary reductions in pay and layoffs, and limiting certain marketing and capital expenditures. In addition, we may seek alternative sources of liquidity, overincluding but not limited to, accessing the long term, an economic recessioncapital markets, sale leaseback transactions or a slow recovery could adversely affect our business and liquidity (refer to the “Risk Factors” section included in Item 1A). In addition,other sales of assets, or other alternative financing measures. However, instability in, or tightening of the capital markets, could adversely affect our ability to obtain additionalaccess the capital to grow our businessmarkets on terms acceptable to us or at all. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, a prolonged or more severe economic recession, inflationary pressure, or a slow recovery could adversely affect our business and liquidity.
Refer to our “Risk Factors” section included in Item 1A in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At December 31, 2019, $165.42021, $612.2 million or approximately 21.0%37%, of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Based on the capital and liquidity needs of our foreign operations, we intend to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside the United States. In addition, our United States operations do not require the

repatriation of these funds to meet our currently projected liquidity needs. Should we require additional capital in the United States, we may elect to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the United States.
The Tax Act imposed U.S. federal tax on all post-1986 foreign unrepatriated earnings accumulated through December 31, 2017. The portion of these earnings not subject to U.S. federal income tax as part of the one-time transition tax should, in general, not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. WeCompany will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings, as well as future earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, to fund international growth and operations. If we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds, we would still be required to accrue and pay certain taxes upon repatriation, including foreign withholding taxes and certain U.S. state taxes and record foreign exchange rate impacts. Determination of the unrecorded deferred tax liability that would be incurred if such amounts were repatriated is not practicable.

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

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents$229,948  $247,925  $65,410  
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 flows provided by operating activities decreased $119.2 million to $509.0 million in 2019 from $628.2 million in 2018. The decrease was due to decreased net cash inflows from operating assets and liabilities of $360.2 million. The decrease in cash inflows related to changes in operating assets and liabilities period over period was primarily driven by the following:
a decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable of $232.3 million in 2019 as compared to 2018;
a decrease in changes in reserves and allowances and customer refund liabilities of $176.9 million in 2019 as compared to 2018; and
a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $153.6 million in 2019 as compared to 2018.
This was partially offset by an increase in cash provided by changes in prepaid expenses and other assets of $132.2 million and an increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items of $241.0 million year over year.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased $55.8 million to $147.1 million in 2019 from $202.9 million in 2018, primarily due to lower capital expenditures and the purchase of an additional 10% common stock ownership in Dome Corporation ("Dome"), our Japanese licensee in 2018.
Total capital expenditures were $144.3 million and $154.3 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Capital expenditures for 2020 are expected to be approximately $165.0 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased $52.8 million to $137.1 million in 2019 from $189.9 million in 2018. This decrease was primarily due to lower borrowings and net repayments on our credit facility in 2019 compared to 2018.

Credit Facility
On March 8, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, amending and restating our prior credit agreement. As amended and restated, our credit agreement has a term of five years, maturing in March 2024, and provides revolving credit commitments for up to $1.25 billion of borrowings, with no term loan borrowings, which were provided for under our prior credit agreement. As of December 31, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $136.3 million outstanding under our prior term loan.
At our request and the lender's consent, revolving and or term loan borrowings may be increased by up to $300.0 million in aggregate, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the credit agreement, as amended. Incremental borrowings are uncommitted and the availability thereof will depend on market conditions at the time we seek to incur such borrowings.
The borrowings under the revolving credit facility have maturities of less than one year. Up to $50.0 million of the facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. There were $5.0 million of letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
The credit agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, pledge our assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, undergo fundamental changes and enter into transactions with affiliates. We are also required to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.50 to 1.00 and we are not permitted to allow the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be greater than 3.25 to 1.00 ("consolidated leverage ratio"). As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with these ratios. In addition, the credit agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, and includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other material indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an alternate base rate, or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made (“adjusted LIBOR”), plus in each case an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the consolidated leverage ratio and ranges between 1.00% to 1.25% for adjusted LIBOR loans and 0.00% to 0.25% for alternate base rate loans. The weighted average interest rate under the outstanding term loans was 3.2% during the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings under the outstanding term loan. The weighted average interest rate under the revolving credit facility borrowings was 3.6% and 3.0% during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and certain fees with respect to letters of credit. As of December 31, 2019, the commitment fee was 15 basis points. Since inception, we incurred and deferred $3.4 million in financing costs in connection with the credit agreement.

3.250% Senior Notes
In June 2016, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2026 (the “Notes”). The proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning December 15, 2016. Prior to March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), we may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or a “make-whole” amount applicable to such Notes as described in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), we may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants, including limitations that restrict our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to create or incur secured indebtedness and enter into sale and leaseback transactions and our ability to consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our properties or assets to another person, in each case subject to material exceptions described in the indenture. We incurred and deferred $5.3 million in financing costs in connection with the Notes.

Other Long Term Debt
In December 2012, we entered into a $50.0 million recourse loan collateralized by the land, buildings and tenant improvements comprising our corporate headquarters. In July 2018, this loan was repaid in full, without penalties, using borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Interest expense, net was $21.2 million, $33.6 million, and $34.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest expense includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, bank fees, capital and built-to-suit lease interest and interest expense under the credit and other long term debt facilities. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $2.4 million, $1.5 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
We monitor the financial health and stability of our lenders under the credit and other 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.

The lease obligations do not include any contingent rent expense we may incur at our brandBrand and factoryFactory house stores based on future sales above a specified minimum or payments made for maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes. Contingent rent expense was $12.9$16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In February 2020, we announced that we are considering foregoing opening a flagship store in New York City while pursuing sublet options for the long-term lease. The amounts included above reflect our existing contractual obligations with respect to that lease, which totaled $506.2 million as of December 31, 2019.Fiscal 2021.

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, 2019.2021.
(4) Includes sponsorships with professional teams, professional leagues, colleges and universities, individual athletes, athletic events and other marketing commitments in order to promote our brand. Some of these sponsorship agreements provide for additional performance incentives and product supply obligations. It is not possible to determine how much we will spend on product supply obligations on an annual basis as contracts generally do not stipulate specific cash amounts to be spent on products. The amount of product

provided to these sponsorships depends on many factors including general playing conditions, the number of sporting events in which they participate and our decisions regarding product and marketing initiatives. In addition, it is not possible to determine the performance incentive amounts we may be required to pay under these agreements as they are primarily subject to certain performance based and other variables. The amounts listed above are the fixed minimum amounts required to be paid under these sponsorship agreements. Additionally, these amounts include minimum guaranteed royalty payments to endorsers and licensors based upon a predetermined percent of sales of particular products.

Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $452.0 million, as compared to Fiscal 2020, primarily driven by an increase in net income, before the impact of non-cash items, of $632.3 million, partially offset by a decrease from changes in working capital of $180.4 million.
The changes in working capital were primarily due to decreases of:
$433.3 million resulting from changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities, primarily due to the commencement of the operating lease relating to our New York City flagship store which was included in Fiscal 2020;
39

Table of Contents
$198.8 million resulting from changes in accounts receivable primarily due to our previously disclosed changes to customer order flow and supply chain timing from the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 to the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, and an increase in net revenues of $1,208.8 million; and
$19.6 million resulting from changes in customer refund liability.
These decreases in working capital were partially offset by increases in working capital of:
$339.5 million resulting from changes in other non-current assets, primarily due to the commencement of our New York City flagship store and the related operating lease ROU asset which was included in Fiscal 2020;
$78.0 million resulting from changes in inventories on account of better inventory management and demand constraints; and
$66.7 million resulting from changes in accounts payable.

Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $134.7 million, as compared to Fiscal 2020, primarily due to proceeds from the sale of MyFitnessPal of $198.9 million in Fiscal 2020.
Total capital expenditures in Fiscal 2021 were $69.8 million, or approximately 1% of net revenues, representing a $22.5 million decline from $92.3 million in Fiscal 2020. In Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021, we reduced capital expenditures in response to ongoing uncertainty related to COVID-19 and to preserve working capital. Moving forward, we anticipate capital expenditures to normalize back towards our long-term operating principle of between 3% and 5% of annual net revenues as we invest in our global direct-to-consumer, e-Commerce and digital businesses, informational technology systems, distribution centers and our global offices. With regard to our new corporate headquarters, in April 2021, we unveiled plans to construct a new global headquarters in the Port Covington area of Baltimore, Maryland. We are designing our new headquarters in line with our long-term sustainability strategy, which includes a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase sourcing of renewable electricity in our owned and operated facilities. We expect a portion of our capital expenditures over the short term to include investments incorporating sustainable and intelligent building design features into this facility.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities increased by $855.6 million, as compared to Fiscal 2020. During Fiscal 2021, we used $418.7 million of cash for financing activities, whereas during Fiscal 2020, we had cash inflow of $436.9 million from financing activities. The cash outflow of $418.7 million was primarily related to approximately $506.3 million paid to certain holders for the exchange of $419.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our 1.50% convertible senior notes (the "Convertible Senior Notes"). Concurrently with these exchanges we entered into agreements to terminate a portion of the capped call transactions previously entered into in connection with our initial offering of the Convertible Senior Notes and received approximately $91.7 million from the option counterparties in connection with such termination agreements. For more details, see discussion below under "1.50% Convertible Senior Notes".

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsCapital Resources
Credit Facility
On March 8, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement by and among us, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and arrangers party thereto (the “credit agreement”). In May 2020, we entered into an amendment to the credit agreement (the “first amendment”), pursuant to which the prior revolving credit commitments were reduced from $1.25 billion to $1.1 billion of borrowings. Subsequently, in May 2021, we entered into a second amendment to the credit agreement (the "second amendment"), which provides for certain changes to our covenants and decreases to certain applicable rates effected by the first amendment. In December 2021, we entered into a third amendment to the credit agreement (the "third amendment" and, the credit agreement as amended by the first amendment, the second amendment and the third amendment, the "amended credit agreement" or the "revolving credit facility"), which extends the term of the credit agreement from March 8, 2024 to December 3, 2026, with permitted extension under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents
Where the first amendment previously provided for suspensions of and adjustments to our existing interest coverage covenant and leverage covenant (each as defined below), and further required us to maintain a specific amount of minimum liquidity during certain quarters, the second amendment provided that these financial covenants became effective again as of March 31, 2021 and removed the minimum liquidity covenant. The second amendment also (i) decreases the interest rate margins that were previously provided for under the first amendment; (ii) reverses limitations effected by the first amendment on expansions of and extensions of the maturity of the revolving credit facility during the covenant suspension period; and (iii) removes additional limitations on the availability of certain exceptions to the negative covenants, including the restricted payments covenant, that were imposed during the covenant suspension period.
The third amendment also (i) decreases the applicable margins for borrowings and undrawn commitment fees; (ii) provides for the fall away of collateral and guarantee requirements following an investment-grade rating from two rating agencies; (iii) implements SOFR as the replacement of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate for U.S. dollar borrowings (and analogous benchmark rate replacements for borrowings in Yen, Canadian Dollars, Pound Sterling and Euro); and (iv) amends certain affirmative and negative covenants and related definitions.
At our request and a lender's consent, commitments under the amended credit agreement may be increased by up to $300.0 million in aggregate, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the amended credit agreement. Incremental borrowings are uncommitted and the availability thereof will depend on market conditions at the time we seek to incur such borrowings.
Borrowings, if any, under the revolving credit facility have maturities of less than one year. Up to $50.0 million of the facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. As of December 31, 2021, there was $4.3 million of letters of credit outstanding (December 31, 2020 had $4.3 million letters of credit outstanding).
Our obligations under the amended credit agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic significant subsidiaries of Under Armour, Inc., subject to customary exceptions (the “subsidiary guarantors”) and primarily secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Under Armour, Inc. and the subsidiary guarantors, excluding real property, capital stock in and debt of subsidiaries of Under Armour, Inc. holding certain real property and other customary exceptions. However, the third amendment provides for the permanent fall away of guarantees and collateral upon our achievement of investment grade rating from two rating agencies.
The amended credit agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness; pledge the assets as security; make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, (including investments in and loans to non-guarantor subsidiaries); undergo fundamental changes; sell assets outside the ordinary course of business; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make restricted payments.
We are also required to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA, to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.50 to 1.0 (the "interest coverage covenant") and we are not permitted to allow the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be greater than 3.25 to 1.0 (the "leverage covenant"), as described in more detail in the amended credit agreement.
As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants.
In addition, the amended credit agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, and includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other material indebtedness, as defined in the amended credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the amended credit agreement.
Borrowings under the amended credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an alternate base rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars), (b) a term rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen or Canadian Dollars) or (c) a "risk free" rate (for borrowings in U.S. dollars or Pounds Sterling), plus in each case an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “pricing grid”) based on the leverage ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA and ranges between 1.00% to 1.75% (or, in the case of alternate base rate loans 0.00% to 0.75%). We will also pay a commitment fee determined in accordance with the pricing grid on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and certain fees with respect to letters of credit.
The weighted average interest rate under the revolving credit facility borrowings was 2.3% during Fiscal 2020. There were no borrowings outstanding during Fiscal 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the commitment fee was 15 basis points.

1.50% Convertible Senior Notes
In May 2020, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 1.50% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2020. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted in accordance with their terms, redeemed in accordance with their terms or repurchased.
The net proceeds from the offering (including the net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option) were $488.8 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses that we paid, of which we used $47.9 million to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. We utilized $439.9 million to repay indebtedness that was outstanding under our revolving credit facility at the time, and to pay related fees and expenses.
The Convertible Senior Notes are not secured and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries.
In May 2021, we entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of the Convertible Senior Notes (the "first exchanging holders"), who agreed to exchange $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes for cash and/or shares of our Class C Common Stock, plus payment for accrued and unpaid interest (the "First Exchange"). In connection with the First Exchange, we paid approximately $300.0 million cash and issued approximately 11.1 million shares of the Company's Class C Common Stock to the first exchanging holders. In August 2021, we entered into additional exchange agreements with certain holders of the Convertible Senior Notes (the "second exchanging holders"), who agreed to exchange approximately $169.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes for cash and/or shares of our Class C Common Stock, plus payment for accrued and unpaid interest (the "Second Exchange" and, together with the First Exchange, the "Exchanges"). In connection with the Second Exchange, we paid approximately $207.0 million cash and issued approximately 7.7 million shares of our Class C Common Stock to the second exchanging holders. In connection with the Exchanges, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $58.5 million for Fiscal 2021, which has been recorded within Other Income (Expense), net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Following the Exchanges, approximately $80.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding.
The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our Class C Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class C Common Stock, at our election, as described further below. The initial conversion rate is 101.8589 shares of our Class C Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.82 per share of Class C Common Stock), subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, holders may (at their option) convert their Convertible Senior Notes only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Class C Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class C Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on our Class C Common Stock; or
if we call any Convertible Senior Notes for redemption prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024.
On or after January 1, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes at the conversion rate at any time irrespective of the foregoing conditions.
42

Table of Contents
On or after December 6, 2022, we may redeem for cash all or any part of the Convertible Senior Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of our Class C Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a price which will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Concurrently with the offering of the Convertible Senior Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, and Citibank, N.A. (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our Class C Common Stock upon any conversion of Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted Convertible Senior Notes upon any conversion thereof, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $13.4750 per share of our Class C Common Stock, representing a premium of 75% above the last reported sale price of our Class C Common Stock on May 21, 2020, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
In May 2021 and August 2021, concurrently with the Exchanges, we entered into, with each of the option counterparties, termination agreements relating to a number of options corresponding to the number of Convertible Senior Notes exchanged. Pursuant to such termination agreements, each of the option counterparties paid us a cash settlement amount in respect of the portion of capped call transactions being terminated. We received approximately $53.0 million and $38.6 million in connection with such termination agreements related to the First Exchange and the Second Exchange, respectively.
The Convertible Senior Notes contain a cash conversion feature, and as a result, we have separated it into liability and equity components. We valued the liability component based on our borrowing rate for a similar debt instrument that does not contain a conversion feature. The equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, was valued as the difference between the face value of the Convertible Senior Notes and the fair value of the liability component.
In connection with various contracts and agreements,the Convertible Senior Notes issuance, we have agreedincurred deferred financing costs of $12.3 million, primarily related to indemnify counterparties against certain third party claims relatingfees paid to the infringementinitial purchasers of intellectual property rightsthe offering, as well as legal 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. Basedaccounting fees. These costs were allocated on our historical experiencea pro rata basis, with $10.0 million allocated to the debt component and $2.2 million allocated to the equity component. As of December 31, 2021, the equity component, net of issuance costs was $88.7 million.
The debt discount and the estimated probabilitydebt portion of future loss,the deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was 6.8%.
3.250% Senior Notes
In June 2016, we have determinedissued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the fair valuerevolving credit facility, at the time. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning December 15, 2016. Prior to March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), we may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed or a "make-whole" amount applicable to such indemnifications is notSenior Notes as described in the indenture governing the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants, including limitations that restrict our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to create or incur secured indebtedness and enter into sale and leaseback transactions and our ability to consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our properties or assets to another person, in each case subject to material to our financial position or results of operations.exceptions described in the indenture.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Table of Contents
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.U.S. GAAP. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. 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.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements. We consider an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations and requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management in its application. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
There were no significant changes to our Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe the following addresses the critical accounting policies during the year ended December 31, 2019. The following description ofestimates and assumptions that are necessary to understand and evaluate our critical accounting policies largely summarize generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are meant to provide clarity regarding our existing application of these policies.

reported financial results.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 606 ("ASC 606"). Net revenues consist of net sales of apparel, footwear and accessories, license and Connected Fitness revenue. We recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring control of promised products or services to our customers, which occurs either at a point in time or over time, depending on when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services. The amount of revenue recognized considers terms of sale that create variability in the amount of consideration that we ultimately expect to be entitled to in exchange for the products or services and is subject to an overall constraint that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods. Sales taxes imposed on our revenues from product sales are presented on a net basis within the consolidated statements of operations, and therefore do not impact net revenues or costs of goods sold.
Revenue transactions associated with the sale of apparel, footwear, and accessories, comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale or direct to consumer channels. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. In our wholesale channel, transfer of control is based upon shipment under free on board shipping point for most goods or upon receipt by the customer depending on the
44

Table of Contents
country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. We may also ship product directly from our supplier to wholesale customers and recognize revenue when the product is delivered to and accepted by the customer. In our direct to consumer channel, transfer of control takes place at the point of sale for brand and factory house customers and upon shipment to substantially all e-commerce customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions are established in accordance with local and industry practices. Payment is generally required within 30 to 60 days of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer in the United States, and generally within 60 to 90 days of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer internationally. Payment is generally due at the time of sale for direct to consumer transactions.
Gift cards issued to customers by us are recorded as contract liabilities until they are redeemed, at which point revenue is recognized. We also estimate and recognize revenue for gift card balances not expected to ever be redeemed ("breakage") to the extent that we do not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdiction as unclaimed or abandoned property. Such estimates are based upon historical redemption trends, with breakage income recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual customer redemptions.
Revenue from our licensing arrangements is recognized over time during the period that licensees are provided access to our trademarks and benefit from such access through their sales of licensed products. These arrangements require licensees to pay a sales-based royalty, which for most arrangements may be subject to a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount. Payments are generally due quarterly. We recognize revenue for sales-based royalty arrangements (including those for which the royalty exceeds any contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount) as licensed products are sold by the licensee. If a sales-based royalty is not ultimately expected to exceed a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount, the minimum is recognized as revenue over the contractual period. This sales-based output measure of progress and pattern of recognition best represents the value transferred to the licensee over the term of the arrangement, as well as the amount of consideration that we are entitled to receive in exchange for providing access to our trademarks.
Revenue from Connected Fitness subscriptions is recognized on a gross basis and is recognized over the term of the subscription. We receive payments in advance of revenue recognition for subscriptions and these payments are recorded as contract liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Related commission cost is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Revenue from Connected Fitness digital advertising is recognized as we satisfy performance obligations pursuant to customer insertion orders.
We record reductions to revenue at the time of the transaction for estimated customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts. We base these estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns, markdowns and allowances that have not yet been received by us. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which are inherently uncertain, may differ from our estimates. If we determine that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves we established, we would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to net sales in the period in which we make such a determination. Provisions for customer specific discounts are based on contractual obligations with certain major customers. Reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts are included within customer refund liability and the value of inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, there were $219.4$164.3 million and $301.4$203.4 million, respectively, in reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts within customer refund liability and $61.1$47.6 million and $113.9$57.9 million, respectively, as the estimated value of inventory associated with the reserves for sales returns within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of revenue recognition.Balance Sheets.
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 judgmentjudgments 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
45

period in which such a determination was made. As of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $15.1$7.1 million and $22.2$20.4 million, respectively.
Inventory Valuation and Reserves
Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. Costs of finished goods inventories include all costs incurred to bring inventory to its current condition, including inbound freight, duties and other costs. We value our inventory at standard cost which approximates landed cost, using the first-in, first-out method of cost determination. Net realizable value is estimated based upon assumptions made about future demand and retail market conditions. If we determine that the estimated net realizable value of our inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, we record a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those that we projected, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the inventory reserve was$32.0 million and $44.6 million, respectively.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and are allocated to the reporting units that are expected to receive the related benefits. Goodwill and indefinite lived
44

Table of Contents
intangible assets are not amortized and are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In conducting an annual impairment test, we first review qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that is the case, we perform the goodwill impairment test. We compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. We estimate fair value using the discounted cash flows model, under the income approach, which indicates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows that we expect the reporting unit to generate in the future. Our significant estimates in the discounted cash flows model include: our weighted average cost of capital, long-term rate of growth and profitability of the reporting unit's business, and working capital effects. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is impaired to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. We perform our annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year.
As of our annual impairment test, in the fourth quarter of 2019, no impairment of goodwill was identified. The fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value, with the exception of our Latin America reporting unit. The fair value of the Latin America reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 19%. Holding all other assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the Latin America reporting unit constant, a reduction in the growth rate of revenue by 2.25 percentage points or a reduction in the growth rate of net income by 3.5 percentage points would eliminate the headroom. No events occurred during the period ended December 31, 2019 that indicated it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of goodwill.
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.
Equity Method Investment
In April 2018, we invested ¥4.2 billion or $39.2 million in exchange for an additional 10% common stock ownership in Dome Corporation ("Dome"), our Japanese licensee. This additional investment brought our total investment in Dome's common stock to 29.5%, from 19.5%. We account for our investment in Dome under the equity method, given that we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Dome. Investments under the equity method are required to be considered for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a qualitative assessment indicates that our investment in Dome may be impaired, a quantitative assessment is performed. If the quantitative assessment indicates a decline in value that is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge would be recognized.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, we performed a qualitative assessment of potential impairment indicators for our investment in Dome and determined that indicators of impairment exist. While there was no single event or factor, we considered Dome's future rate of
46

Table of Contents
growth and profitability and strategic objectives. We performed a valuation of our investment in Dome and determined that the fair value of our investment is less than its carrying value by $39.0 million. We determined this decline in value to be other-than-temporary considering the extent to which the market value of our investment is less than the carrying value, the amount of Dome's indebtedness maturing within a short-term period, and Dome's long-term financial forecast. As a result, we recorded a $39.0 million impairment of our equity method investment in Dome in the fourth quarter of 2019, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The impairment charge was recorded within income (loss) from equity method investment on the consolidated statements of operations and as a reduction to the invested balance within other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. We calculate fair value using the discounted cash flows model, which indicates the fair value of the investment based on the present value of the cash flows that we expect the investment to generate in the future.
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded the allocable share of Dome’s net loss of $8.7 million and net income of $1.0 million, respectively, within income (loss) from equity method investment on the consolidated statements of operations and as an adjustment to the invested balance within other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of our total investment in Dome was $5.1 million and $52.8 million, respectively.
In addition to the investment in Dome, we have a license agreement with Dome. We recorded license revenues from Dome of $37.8 million and $35.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, we have $15.6 million and $13.1 million in licensing receivables outstanding, recorded in the prepaid expenses and other current assets line item within our consolidated balance sheet. To the extent Dome continues to experience challenges in the performance of their business, we may not continue to realize the licensing revenues received from them in line with their past results.
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. WeThe Company has made the policy election to record any liability associated with Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) in the period in which it wasis incurred.
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 Statement of Operations.
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.
A significant portion of our deferred tax assets relate to U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on future U.S. pre-tax earnings. In evaluating the recoverability of these deferred tax assets atas of December 31, 2019, we2021, the Company has considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, including but not limited to the following:
Positive
2019Current year pre-tax income plus tax permanent differences and taxable income in the U.S. federal and certain state jurisdictions;earnings.

As of December 31, 2019,2021, we believe that the weight of the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence regarding the realization of our U.S. federal deferred tax assets. However, as of December 31, 2019, we believe the weight of the negative evidence outweighs the positive evidence regarding the realization of the majority of the stateour U.S. deferred tax assets and have recorded a valuation allowance against the U.S. deferred tax assets.

Table of Contents
As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of DTAs. Our current forecasts for the United States indicate that it is probable that additional deferred taxes could be realizable based on near term trend towards three-year cumulative taxable earnings. The actualization of these assets. forecasted results may potentially outweigh the negative evidence, resulting in a reversal of all or a portion of previously recorded valuation allowances in the United States. The release of valuation allowances would result in a benefit to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net income. The timing and amount of the potential valuation allowance release are subject to significant management judgment, as well as prospective pre-tax earnings in the United States. We will continue to evaluate our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
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 operations.
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, 2019, we had $90.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.43 years. This unrecognized compensation expense does not include any expense related to performance-based restricted stock units and stock options for which the performance targets have not been deemed probable as of December 31, 2019.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. In addition, compensation expense for performance-based awards is recorded over the related service period when achievement of the performance targets is deemed probable, which requires management judgment. Refer to Note 2 and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency and interest rates. We use derivative instruments to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business and do not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
We may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. We formally document all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedged transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to forecasted cash flows and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.
Our foreign exchange risk management program consists of designated cash flow hedges and undesignated hedges. As of December 31, 2019,2021, we had hedge instruments, primarily for British Pound/U.S. Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Chinese Renminbi, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, Euro/U.S. Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso,Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Japanese Yen and U.S. Dollar/Japanese YenMexican Peso currency pairs.

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 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 relating to transactions generated by our international subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are driven by non-functional currency generated revenue, non-functional currency inventory purchases, investments in U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale debt securities, and certain other intercompany transactions. As of December 31, 2019,2021, the
49

Table of Contents
aggregate notional value of our outstanding cash flow hedges was $879.8was $556.5 million with, with contract maturities ranging from one to twenty-four months.
In order to maintain liquidity and fund business operations, we may 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 from time to time. However, as of December 31, 2019, our exposure to interest rate fluctuations was not material to our financial condition or results of operations, as substantially all of our debt is fixed-rate indebtedness and we do not have a material investment portfolio. Our interest rate swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2019, we had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts.
For contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value are reported as other comprehensive income and are recognized in current earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects current earnings. One of the criteria for this accounting treatment is the notional value of these derivative contracts should not be in excess of specifically identified anticipated transactions. By their very nature, our estimates of the anticipated transactions may fluctuate over time and may ultimately vary from actual transactions. When anticipated transaction estimates or actual transaction amounts decline below hedged levels, or if it is no longer probable a forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time, we are required to reclassify the cumulative change in fair value of the over-hedged portion of the related hedge contract from Other comprehensive income (loss) to Other expense, net during the period in which the decrease occurs.
We enter into derivative 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 derivative contracts. However, we monitor the credit quality of these
47

Table of Contents
financial institutions and consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal. Although we have entered into foreign currency 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.
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, 2019.2021. Refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" for a further discussion on our policies.
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 ofour business could be impacted by continued or increasing inflation in the future may haveperiods. See our "Risk Factors—Economic and Industry Risks—Our business depends on consumer purchases of discretionary items, which can be negatively impacted during an adverse effecteconomic downturn or periods of inflation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Under Armour, Inc.:

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Under Armour, Inc. and its subsidiaries(the (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20192021 and 20182020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019,2021, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20192021 listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20192021 and 2018,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20192021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013)issued by the COSO.

Changes in Accounting Principles
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for its leases in 2019 and the manner in which it accounts for revenues from contracts with customers in 2018.

2019.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, 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 the Company’s consolidatedfinancial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidatedfinancial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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
50

Table of Contents
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.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit mattersmatter communicated below are mattersis a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that werewas communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relaterelates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit mattersmatter below, providing a separate opinionsopinion on the critical audit mattersmatter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

As described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $550.2 million as of December 31, 2019, and the goodwill associated with the Latin America reporting unit was $46.7 million. Management conducts an impairment test at least annually in the fourth quarter or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Management estimates fair value of the reporting unit using the discounted cash flow model under the income approach, which indicates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows that management expects the reporting unit to generate in the future. Management’s significant estimates in the discounted cash flows model include the Company's weighted average cost of capital, long-term rate of growth and profitability of the reporting unit’s business, and working capital effects. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is impaired to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Latin America reporting unit is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement of the reporting unit, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, effort, and subjectivity in performing procedures and evaluating significant assumptions, including the Company’s long-term rate of growth and profitability. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment test, including controls over the valuation of the Company’s reporting units. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions, including the long-term rate of growth and profitability. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the long-term rate of growth and profitability involved evaluating management’s ability to execute on future growth strategies and evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these

assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and certain assumptions, including the Company’s weighted average cost of capital.

relates.
Reserve for Customer Returns
As described in NoteNotes 2 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded $219.4$164.3 million as of December 31, 20192021 in reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts within customer refund liability. Management bases its estimates of the reserve for customer returns 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 principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the reserve for customer returns is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management in estimating the customer returns reserve, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, effort,subjectivity, and subjectivityeffort, in performing procedures and evaluating themanagement’s significant assumptions used in developing the estimate, includingassumption related to the amount of outstanding returns that have not yet been received by the Company.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the estimation of management’s customer returns reserve, including the assumption related to the outstanding returns that have not yet been received by the Company. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the customer returns reserve; evaluating the appropriateness of the method; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the estimate; and evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions, includingassumption related to the amount of outstanding returns that have not yet been received by the Company. Evaluating management’s assumption related to outstanding returns that have not yet been received by the Company involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) historical rates of customer returns,returns; (ii) specific identification of outstanding returns,returns; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

The accompanying consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
During 2019, Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company recorded an adjustment related to prior periods to correct unrecorded consulting expenses incurred primarily in connection withterm “Fiscal 2021” means the 2018 restructuring plan. Selling, generalCompany's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2021 and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021; the term “Fiscal 2020” means the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2020 and ended December 31,2020; and the term "Fiscal 2019" means the Company's fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2019 includes $5.5 millionand ended December 31, 2019.
Connected Fitness
Prior to January 1, 2021, the Company's previously reported "Connected Fitness" segment was comprised of expense that was understated in prior periods. The Company concluded thatdigital subscription and advertising conducted through various platforms, predominantly the error was not material to any prior or interim periods presented.
During 2018,MyFitnessPal, MapMyFitness, consisting of applications such as MapMyRun and MapMyRide (collectively "MMR"), and Endomondo platforms. While the Company identified an immaterial errorcontinues to operate the MMR platforms, MyFitnessPal was sold in December 2020 and Endomondo was wound down in December 2020 as part of the presentationCompany's 2020 restructuring plan. As a result of premium subscriptions in its Connected Fitness reporting segment. Subscription revenue was previously recorded net of any related commission. Beginningthese changes, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, subscription revenue is recordedFiscal 2021, the Company no longer reports Connected Fitness as a discrete reportable segment. The operating results of MMR are now included within the Company’s Corporate Other segment. Where applicable, all prior periods that used to separately reflect financial information about the Connected Fitness business have been recast to be included within the Corporate Other reportable segment, in order to conform with current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total consolidated net revenues, consolidated income from operations or consolidated net income.
Management Estimates and COVID-19 Update
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, 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. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an on-going basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable at that time; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Further, COVID-19 continues to significantly impact the global economy. As the impacts of the pandemic continue to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. The extent to which the evolving pandemic impacts the Company's financial statements will depend on a gross basisnumber of factors including, but not limited to, any new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the related commission cost is includedactions that governments around the world may take to contain the virus or treat its impact. While the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of this reporting date, the Company may experience further impacts based on long-term effects on the Company's customers and the countries in selling, general and administrative expensewhich the Company operates. Please see the risk factors discussed in the consolidated statementPart I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of operations. The Company revised 2017 to be consistent with the current presentation resulting in an increase in net revenues and selling, general and administrative expensethis Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 retailers. Credit is extended based on an evaluationwholesale customers. One of the customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required.Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2021. None of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 20192020. For Fiscal 2021, one customer in North America accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's net revenues. For Fiscal 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively. For the years ended December 31,Fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues.
Sale of Accounts Receivable
In 2018, the Company entered into agreements with two financial institutions to sell selected accounts receivable on a recurring, non-recourse basis. In 2019, the Company amended one agreement to reduce the facility amount. Under each agreement, the Company may sell up to $140.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively, provided the accounts receivable of certain customers cannot be outstanding simultaneously with both institutions. Balances may remain outstanding at any point in time. The Company removesregularly evaluates the sold accounts receivable from

The Company acts as the collection agentRefer to "Credit Losses - Allowance for the sold accounts receivable balances on behalfDoubtful Accounts" below for a discussion of the financial institutions.evaluation of credit losses.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no amounts outstanding in connection with these arrangements. The funding fee charged by the financial institutions is included in the other income (expense), net line item in the consolidated statement of operations.

Credit Losses - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Credit losses are the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through customer receivables associated with the sale of products within the Company's wholesale channel, recorded within accounts receivable, net on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also has other receivables, including receivables from licensing arrangements recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Credit is extended to wholesale customers based on a credit review. The credit review considers each customer’s financial condition, including a review of the customer's established credit rating or, if an established credit rating is not available, then the Company's assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness is based on their financial statements, local industry practices, and business strategy. A credit limit and invoice terms are established for each customer based on the outcome of this review. The Company actively monitors ongoing credit exposure through review of customer balances against terms and payments against due dates. To mitigate credit risk from the wholesale channel, the Company may require customers to provide security in the form of guarantees, letters of credit, deposits, collateral or prepayment. Further, to mitigate certain risk from other wholesale customers, the Company has acquired specific trade accounts receivable insurance policies.
The Company is also exposed to credit losses through credit card receivables associated with the sale of products within the Company's direct-to-consumer channel.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts receivable. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses", the Company makes ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of accounts receivable and maintainsrecords an allowance for estimated losses resultingexpected from the inability of its customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the reserve, theThe Company considersestablishes expected credit losses by evaluating historical levels of credit losses, and significantcurrent economic developments within the retail environmentconditions that could impact themay affect a customer’s ability of its customers to pay, outstanding balances and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoingcustomers. These inputs are used to determine a range of expected credit evaluations. Becauselosses and an allowance is recorded within the Company cannot predict future changes in the financial stabilityrange. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation 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 determines 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, 2019 and 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $15.1 million and $22.2 million, respectively.recovery.
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. TheIn accordance with ASC Topic 330 "Inventory", the Company values its inventory at standard cost which approximates landed cost, using the first-in, first-out method of cost determination. Net realizable value is estimated based upon assumptions made about future demand and retail market conditions. If the Company determines that the estimated net realizable value of its inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, it records a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
59

Table of Contents
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.
Property and Equipment
In accordance with ASC Topic 360 "Property, Plant 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, as follows:
Years
Furniture, fixtures and displays, office equipment, software and plant equipment (1)
3 to 10
Site improvements, buildings and building equipment10 to 35
Leasehold and tenant improvements
Shorter of the remaining lease term
or related asset life
(1) The cost of in-store apparel and footwear fixtures and displays are capitalized as part of "furniture, fixtures and displays", and depreciated over three years.

The Company periodically reviews its 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 $1.2 million as of December 31, 2021 (Fiscal 2020: $1.4 million).
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 useful lives of the assets, are expensed as incurred.
Leases
The Company enters into operating leases domestically and internationally to lease certain warehouse space, office facilities, space for its Brand and Factory House stores, and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2035, excluding extensions at the Company's option, and include provisions for rental adjustments.
In accordance with ASC Topic 842 "Leases", the Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to control the underlying assets under lease, over the contractual term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the present value of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are established on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets for leases with an expected term greater than one year. Short-term lease payments were not material for Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020.
As the rate implicit in a lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company calculates the incremental borrowing rate based on the current market yield curve and adjusts for foreign currency impacts for international leases.
Fixed lease costs are included in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. These variable lease payments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments primarily consist of payments dependent on sales in Brand and Factory House stores. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease costs for its leases. The lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term only if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise those options.

Income Taxes
IncomeIn accordance with ASC Topic 740 "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. The Company has made the policy election to record any liability associated with Global Intangible Low TaxedTax Income ("GILTI"(“GILTI”) in the period in which it is incurred.
Assessing whether deferred tax assets are realizable requires significant judgment. The Company considers 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 believes 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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes line on the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations.
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, in accordance with ASC Topic 350-20 "Goodwill", are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In conducting an annual impairment test, the Company first reviews
61

Table of Contents
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 the goodwill impairment test. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. The Company estimates fair value using the discounted cash flows model, under the income approach, which indicates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of the cash flows that the Company expects the reporting unit to generate in the future. The Company's significant estimates in the discounted cash flows model include: the Company's weighted average cost of capital, long-term rate of growth and profitability of the reporting unit’s business, and working capital effects. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is impaired to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performs its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year.
As of the Company's annual impairment test, no impairment of goodwill was identified. The fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value, with the exception of its Latin America reporting unit. No events occurred during the period ended December 31, 2019 that indicated it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of goodwill.
The Company continually evaluates 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 reviews 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.
During Fiscal 2021, the Company performed an impairment analysis on its long-lived assets, including retail stores at an individual store level. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair values of these long-lived assets based on their market rent assessments or discounted cash flows. The Company compared these estimated fair values to the net carrying values. Accordingly, the Company recognized $2.0 million of long-lived asset impairment charges for Fiscal 2021 (Fiscal 2020: $89.7 million; Fiscal 2019: $0). In Fiscal 2021, the long-lived asset impairment charge was recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded as a reduction to the related asset balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In Fiscal 2020, these long-lived asset impairment charges were part of our restructuring and impairment charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The long-lived asset impairment charges for Fiscal 2021 are included within the Company's operating segments as follows: $0.2 million recorded in North America, $1.7 million recorded in Asia-Pacific,and $0.1 million recorded in Latin America.
61

Table of Contents
The significant estimates used in the fair value methodology, which are based on Level 3 inputs, include: the Company's expectations for future operations and projected cash flows, including net revenue, gross profit and operating expenses and market conditions, including estimated market rent.
Additionally, during Fiscal 2021, the Company recognized $1.7 million of long-lived asset impairment charges related to the Company's New York City flagship store, which was recorded in connection with the Company's 2020 restructuring plan (Fiscal 2020: $290.8 million; Fiscal 2019: $0). Refer to Note 12 for a further discussion of the restructuring and related impairment charges.
Accrued Expenses
AtAs of December 31, 2019,2021, accrued expenses primarily included $118.7$151.9 million and $63.2 millionof accrued compensation and benefits and marketing expenses, respectively. At December 31, 2018, accrued expenses primarily included $130.8 million and $60.1$58.8 million of accrued compensation and benefits and marketing expenses, respectively.respectively (as of December 31, 2020: $77.9 million and $45.9 million, 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. TheIn accordance with ASC Topic 830 "Foreign Currency Matters", 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 statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency 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.in accordance with ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging". 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 other current liabilities or other long term liabilities, depending on the derivative financial instrument’s maturity date.
For contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value are reported as other comprehensive income and are recognized in current earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects current earnings. One of the criteria for this accounting treatment is the notional value of these derivative contracts should not be in excess of specifically identified anticipated transactions. By their very nature, the Company's estimates of the anticipated transactions may fluctuate over time and may ultimately vary from actual transactions. When anticipated transaction estimates or actual transaction amounts decline below hedged levels, or if it is no longer probable a forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time, the Company is required to reclassify the cumulative change in fair value of the over-hedged portion of the related hedge contract from Other comprehensive income (loss) to

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codificationin accordance with ASC Topic 606 ("ASC 606")"Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Net revenues primarily consist of net sales of apparel, footwear and accessories, license revenues and Connected Fitness revenue. revenues from digital subscriptions, advertising and other digital business.
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of promised products or services to its customers, which occurs either at a point in time or over time, depending on when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services. The amount of revenue recognized considers terms of sale that create variability in the amount of consideration that the Company ultimately expects to be entitled to in exchange for the products or services and is subject to an overall constraint that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods.

Sales taxes imposed on the Company’s revenues from product sales are presented on a net basis on the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations,Operations, and therefore do not impact net revenues or costs of goods sold.
Revenue transactions associated with the sale of apparel, footwear, and accessories, comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale or direct to consumerdirect-to-consumer channels. The Company satisfies the performance obligation and records revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. In the Company’s wholesale channel, transfer of control 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. The Company may also ship product directly from its supplier to wholesale customers and recognize revenue when the product is delivered to and accepted by the customer. In the Company’s direct to consumerdirect-to-consumer channel, transfer of control takes place at the point of sale for brandBrand and factory houseFactory House customers and upon shipment to substantially all e-commerce customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions are established in accordance with local and industry practices. Payment is generally required within 30 to 60 days of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer in the United States, and generally within 60 to 90 days of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer internationally. Payment is generally due at the time of sale for direct to consumerdirect-to-consumer transactions.
Gift cards issued to customers by the Company are recorded as contract liabilities until they are redeemed, at which point revenue is recognized. The Company also estimates and recognizes revenue for gift card balances not expected to ever be redeemed ("breakage") to the extent that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdiction as unclaimed or abandoned property. Such estimates are based upon historical redemption trends, with breakage income recognized in proportion to the pattern of actual customer redemptionsredemptions.
Revenue from the Company's licensing arrangements is recognized over time during the period that licensees are provided access to the Company's trademarks and benefit from such access through their sales of licensed products. These arrangements require licensees to pay a sales-based royalty, which for most arrangements may be subject to a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount. Payments are generally due quarterly. The Company recognizes revenue for sales-based royalty arrangements (including those for which the royalty exceeds any contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount) as licensed products are sold by the licensee. If a sales-based royalty is not ultimately expected to exceed a contractually guaranteed minimum royalty amount, the minimum is recognized as revenue over the contractual period.period, if all other criteria of revenue recognition have been met. This sales-based output measure of progress and pattern of recognition best represents the value transferred to the licensee over the term of the arrangement, as well as the amount of consideration that the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for providing access to its trademarks.
Revenue from Connected Fitnessdigital subscriptions is recognized on a gross basis and is recognized over the term of the subscription. The Company receives payments in advance of revenue recognition for subscriptions and these payments are recorded as contract liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.Consolidated Balance Sheets. Related commission cost is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statementConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations. Revenue from Connected Fitness digital advertising is recognized as the Company satisfies performance obligations pursuant to customer insertion orders.
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 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 negotiated arrangements with certain major customers. Reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns, and discounts are included within customer refund liability and the value of inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. TheConsolidated Balance Sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on at least a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were $219.4 million and $301.4 million, respectively, in reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts within customer refund liability and $61.1 million and $113.9 million, respectively, as the estimated value of inventory associated with the reserves for sales returns within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of disaggregated revenues.
Contract Liability
Contract liabilities are recorded when a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the transfer of a good or service to the customer and thus represent the Company's obligation to transfer the good or service to the customer at a future date. The Company's contract liabilities consist of payments received in advance of revenue recognition for subscriptions for the Company's Connected Fitness applications, gift cards and royalty arrangements. Contract liabilities are included in other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, contract liability was $60.4 million and $55.0 million, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $48.5 million of revenue that was previously included in contract liability as of December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $41.1 million of revenue that was previously included in contract liability as of December 31, 2017. The change in the contract liability balance primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of performance obligations and the customer's payment. Commissions related to subscription revenue are capitalized and recognized over the subscription period.
Practical Expedients and Policy Elections
The Company has made a policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than an additional promised service. Additionally, the Company has elected not to disclose certain information related to unsatisfied performance obligations for subscriptions for its Connected Fitness applicationsMMR platforms as they have an original expected length of one year or less.

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 1218 for a further discussion of earnings per share.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with accounting guidance thatASC Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which 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.statements over the service period. In addition, this guidance requires that excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards be reflected as operating cash flows.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair market value of stock-based compensationstock option awards and grant date fair value for other 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 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 Company issues new shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock upon exercise of stock options, grant of restricted stock or share unit conversion. Refer to Note 1314 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. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company's 3.250% Senior Notes were $619.9 million (December 31, 2020: $602.6 million). The fair value of the Company's 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes, was $587.5 million and $500.1$149.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.2021 (December 31, 2020: $828.2 million). The fair value of the Company's other 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 a foreign currency contractscontract 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 exchange rate. The fair value of thean 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.

3. Restructuring and Impairment
As previously announced, in both 2017 and 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved restructuring plans (the "2017 restructuring plan" and "2018 restructuring plan") designed to more closely align its financial resources with the critical priorities of the business and optimize operations. The Company recognized approximately $203.9 million of pre-tax charges in connection with the 2018 restructuring plan and approximately $129.1 million of pre-tax charges in connection with the 2017 restructuring plan, inclusive of $28.6 million of restructuring related goodwill impairment charges for the Company's Connected Fitness business. All restructuring charges under the plans were incurred by December 31, 2018.
Property and equipment impairment
As a part of the 2018 and 2017 restructuring plans, the Company abandoned the use of several assets included within Property and equipment, resulting in an impairment charge of $12.1 million and $30.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, reducing the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair values. Fair value was estimated using an income-approach based on management’s forecast of future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset's use.
Intangible asset impairment
In connection with the 2017 restructuring plan, strategic decisions were made during the third quarter of 2017 to abandon the use of certain intangible assets in the Company's Connected Fitness reporting unit. These intangible assets included technology and brand names, resulting in total intangible asset impairment charges of $12.1 million, reducing the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair values. Fair value was estimated using an income-approach based on management’s forecast of future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset's use.
Goodwill impairment
In addition, the Company also made the strategic decision to not pursue certain other planned future revenue streams in connection with the 2017 restructuring plan. The Company determined sufficient indication existed to trigger the performance of an interim goodwill impairment for the Company’s Connected Fitness reporting unit. Using updated cash flow projections, the Company calculated the fair value of the Connected Fitness reporting unit based on the discounted cash flows model. The carrying value exceeded the fair value, resulting in an impairment of goodwill. As the excess of the carrying value for the Connected Fitness reporting unit was greater than the goodwill for this reporting unit, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $28.6 million, which represented all of the goodwill for this reporting unit.
The summary of the costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in connection with the 2018 and 2017 restructuring plans, respectively, are as follows:

NOTE 4. Property and Equipment, Net
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 $1.6 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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.
As part of the Company's 2018 restructuring plan, the Company abandoned the use of several assets included within Property and equipment, resulting in an impairment charge of $12.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, reducing the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair values.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company's goodwill had an aggregate carrying value of $550.2 million. The Company performed its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2019. As of the Company's annual impairment test, no impairment of goodwill was identified. The fair value of each reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value, with the exception of the Latin America reporting unit. The fair value of the Latin America reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 19%. Holding all other assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the Latin America reporting unit constant, a reduction in the growth rate of revenue by 2.25 percentage points or a reduction in the growth rate of net income by 3.5 percentage points would eliminate the headroom. No events occurred during the period ended December 31, 2019 that indicated it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired.

6. LeasesNOTE 5. LEASES
The Company enters into operating leases both domestically and internationally to lease certain warehouse space, office facilities, space for its brandBrand and factory houseFactory House stores, and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2035, excluding extensions at the Company's option, and include provisions for rental adjustments.
The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to control the underlying assets under lease, over the contractual term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets based on the present value of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are established on the consolidated balance sheets for leases with an expected term greater than one year. Short-term lease payments were not material for Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020.
As a result of the year endedimpacts of COVID-19, the Company sought concessions during Fiscal 2020 from landlords for certain leases of Brand and Factory House stores in the form of rent deferrals or rent waivers. Consistent with updated guidance from the FASB in April 2020, the Company elected to account for treating these concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations to the deferrals existed in the respective contracts at lease inception and will not account for the concessions as lease modifications, unless the concession results in a substantial change in the Company's obligations.
The Company's rent deferrals had no impact to rent expense during Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, and amounts deferred and payable in future periods have been included in short term lease liability on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019.2021. The Company's rent waivers, which were recorded as a reduction of rent expense, were approximately $5.5 million for Fiscal 2021 (Fiscal 2020: $4.1 million; Fiscal 2019: $0).

Table of Contents
As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company calculates the incremental borrowing rate based on the current market yield curveLease Costs and adjusts for foreign currency for international leases.
Fixed lease costs are included in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. These variable lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments primarily consist of payments dependent on sales in brand and factory house stores. The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease costs for its leases. The lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term only if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise those options.Other Information
The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included

The initial conversion rate is 101.8589 shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.82 per share of Class C Common Stock), subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, holders may (at their option) convert their Convertible Senior Notes only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on the Company’s Class C Common Stock; or
if the Company calls any Convertible Senior Notes for redemption prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024.
On or after January 1, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes at the conversion rate at any time irrespective of the foregoing conditions.
On or after December 6, 2022, the Company may redeem for cash all or any part of the Convertible Senior Notes, at its option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a price which will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Concurrently with the offering of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, and Citibank, N.A. (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Class C Common Stock upon any conversion of Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the aggregate principal

amount of converted Convertible Senior Notes upon any conversion thereof, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $13.4750 per share of the Company’s Class C Common Stock, representing a premium of 75% above the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C Common Stock on May 21, 2020, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
In May 2021 and August 2021, concurrently with the Exchanges, the Company entered into, with each of the option counterparties, termination agreements relating to a number of options corresponding to the number of Convertible Senior Notes exchanged. Pursuant to such termination agreements, each of the option counterparties paid the Company a cash settlement amount in respect of the portion of capped call transactions being terminated. The Company received approximately $53.0 million and $38.6 million, in connection with such termination agreements related to the First Exchange and the Second Exchange, respectively.
The Convertible Senior Notes contain a cash conversion feature, and as a result, the Company has separated it into liability and equity components. The Company valued the liability component based on its borrowing rate for a similar debt instrument that does not contain a conversion feature. The equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, was valued as the difference between the face value of the Convertible Senior Notes and the fair value of the liability component.
In connection with the Convertible Senior Notes issuance, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $12.3 million, primarily related to fees paid to the initial purchasers of the offering, as well as legal and accounting fees. These costs were allocated on a pro rata basis, with $10.0 million allocated to the debt component and $2.2 million allocated to the equity component. As of December 31, 2021, the equity component, net of issuance costs was $88.7 million.
The debt discount and the debt portion of the deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate for Fiscal 2021 was 6.8%.
3.250% Senior Notes
In June 2016, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2026 (the “Notes”“Senior Notes”). The proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning December 15, 2016. Prior to March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), theThe Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time, or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or a “make-whole” amount applicable to such Notes asprices described in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The amounts listed above are the minimum compensation obligations and guaranteed royalty fees 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 certainthe 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.

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.
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and other proceedings, including matters related to commercial and intellectual property disputes, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to its business. Other than as described below, the Company believes that all current proceedings are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of its business, and thatbusiness.

In September 2019, plaintiffs Aberdeen and Bucks County filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit challenging the decisions by the District Court on September 19, 2018 and August 19, 2019 (the “Appeal”). The Appeal was fully briefed as of January 16, 2020.
On November 6 and December 17, 2019, 2 purported shareholders of the Company filed putative securities class actions in the District Court against the Company and certain of its current and former executives (captioned Patel v. Under Armour, Inc., No. 1:19-cv-03209-RDB (“Patel”), and Waronker v. Under Armour, Inc., No. 1:19-cv-03581-RDB (“Waronker”), respectively). The complaints in Patel and Waronker alleged violations of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5) of the Exchange Act, against all defendants, and Section 20(a) control person liability under the Exchange Act against the current and former officers named in the complaints. The complaints claimed that the defendants’ disclosures and statements supposedly misrepresented or omitted that the Company was purportedly shifting sales between quarterly periods allegedly to appear healthier and that the Company was under investigation by and cooperating with the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) since July 2017.
On November 18, 2019, before briefing on the Appeal was complete,Aberdeen, the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Securities Action, filed in the District Court a motion for an indicative ruling under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62.1 (the “Rule 62.1 Motion”) seeking relief from the final judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). The Rule 62.1 Motion alleged that purported newly discovered evidence entitled the lead plaintiffAberdeen to relief from the District Court’s final judgment. Aberdeen also filed motions seeking (i) to consolidate the Patel and Waronker cases with the Consolidated Securities Action, and (ii) to be appointed lead plaintiff over the consolidated cases.
On January 22, 2020, the District Court granted theAberdeen’s Rule 62.1 motion and indicated that it would grant a motion for relief from the final judgment and provide the lead plaintiffAberdeen with the opportunity to file a third amended complaint if the Fourth Circuit remandsremanded for that purpose. The District Court further stated that it would, upon remand, consolidate the matterPatel and Waronker cases with Patel v. Under Armour, Inc. and Waronker v. Under Armour Inc., described below,the Consolidated Securities Action and appoint the lead plaintiff of In re Under Armour Securities LitigationAberdeen as the lead plaintiff over the consolidated cases.
On August 13, 2020, the Fourth Circuit remanded the Appeal to the District Court for the limited purpose of allowing the District Court to rule on Aberdeen’s motion seeking relief from the final judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). On September 14, 2020, the District Court issued an order granting that relief. The District Court’s order also consolidated the Patel and Waronker cases into the Consolidated Securities Action and appointed Aberdeen as lead plaintiff over the Consolidated Securities Action.
On October 14, 2020, Aberdeen, along with named plaintiffs Monroe and KBC Asset Management NV, filed a third amended complaint (the “TAC”) in the Consolidated Securities Action, asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Company and Mr. Plank and under Section 20A of the Exchange Act against Mr. Plank. The TAC alleges that the defendants supposedly concealed purportedly declining consumer demand for certain of the Company's products between the third quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2016 by making allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s performance and future prospects and by engaging in undisclosed and allegedly improper sales and accounting practices, including shifting sales between quarterly periods allegedly to appear healthier. The TAC also alleges that the defendants purportedly failed to disclose that the Company was under investigation by and cooperating with DOJ and the SEC since July 2017. The class period identified in the TAC is September 16, 2015 through November 1, 2019.
On December 4, 2020, the Company and Mr. Plank filed a motion to dismiss the TAC for failure to state a claim. That motion was denied by the Court on May 18, 2021. Discovery in the Consolidated Securities Action commenced on June 4, 2021 and is currently ongoing. On July 23, 2021, the Company and Mr. Plank filed an answer to the TAC denying all allegations of wrongdoing and asserting affirmative defenses to the claims asserted

in the TAC. On December 1, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking, among other things, certification of the class they are seeking to represent in the Consolidated Securities Action. The Company and Mr. Plank have opposed this motion, and briefing on the motion is scheduled to be completed as of May 12, 2022.
The Company continues to believe that the claims asserted in the Consolidated Securities Action are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. However, because of the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of this proceeding, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible impact of this matter.

Under Armour, Inc., No. 1:19-cv-03581-RDB). Like the Patel complaint, the Waronker complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5) of the Exchange Act, against all defendants, and Section 20(a) control person liability under the Exchange Act against the current and former officers named in the complaint. The complaint claims that the defendants’ disclosures and statements supposedly misrepresented or omitted that the Company was purportedly shifting sales between quarterly periods allegedly to appear healthier and that the Company was under investigation by and cooperating with the United States Department of Justice and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission since July 2017. The class period identified in the complaint is September 16, 2015 through November 1, 2019, inclusive.
The Court has not consolidated these cases or appointed a lead plaintiff and the Company has no pending deadline to respond to the complaint in either of these actions. As described above, the Court indicated in a January 22, 2020 decision in the In re Under Armour Securities Litigation case that it anticipated consolidating that matter with these cases and appointing the lead plaintiff in In re Under Armour Securities Litigation as the lead plaintiff over the consolidated cases, in the event that the Fourth Circuit remands the In re Under Armour Securities Litigation case.
The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously. However, because of the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of these proceedings, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible impact of these matters.

Sagamore Derivative Complaints
In April 2018, two purported stockholders filed separate stockholder derivative complaintsAmended Complaint in the United States District CourtConsolidated Securities Action matter discussed above, challenging, among other things, the Company’s disclosures related to growth and consumer demand for the District of Maryland. These were brought against Mr. Plank and certain other members of the Company’s Board of Directors and name the Companyproducts, as a nominal defendant.well as stock sales by certain individual defendants.

Sagamore). Sagamore purchased thesethe parcels in 2014. Its total investment in the parcels was approximately $72.0 million, which included the initial $35.0 million purchase price for the property, an additional $30.6 million to terminate a lease encumbering the property and approximately $6.4 million of development costs. As previously disclosed, in June 2016, the Company purchased the unencumbered parcels for $70.3 million in order to further expand the Company’s corporate headquarters to accommodate its growth needs. The Company negotiated a purchase price for the parcels that it determined represented the fair market value of the parcels and approximated the cost to the seller to purchase and develop the parcels. In connection with its evaluation of the potential purchase, the Company engaged an independent third-party to appraise the fair market value of the parcels, and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors engaged its own independent appraisal firm to assess the parcels. The Audit Committee determined that the terms of the purchase were reasonable and fair, and the transaction was approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the Company’s policy on transactions with related persons.
On March 20, 2019, these cases were consolidated under the caption In re Under Armour, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation and a lead plaintiff was appointed by the court. On May 1, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated derivative complaint asserting that Mr. Plank and the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the purchase of the parcels and other related party transactions and that Sagamore aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by the other defendants in connection with Sagamore’s alleged role in the sale of the parcels to the Company. The consolidated complaint also asserts an unjust enrichment claim against Mr. Plank and Sagamore. It seeks damages on behalf of the Company and certain corporate governance related actions. The Company and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on July 2, 2019, which was fully briefed as of October 17, 2019 and is currently pending.
In June and July 2018, 3 additional purported stockholder derivative complaints were filed. Two of the complaints were filed in Maryland state court (in cases captioned Kenney v. Plank, et al. (filed June 29, 2018) and Luger v. Plank, et al. (filed July 26, 2018), respectively), and those cases were consolidated on October 19, 2018 under the caption Kenney v. Plank, et. al. The other complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (in a case captioned Andersen v. Plank et al. (filed July 23, 2018)). The operative complaints in these cases name Mr. Plank, certain other members of the Company’s Board of Directors and certain former Company executives as defendants, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The operative complaints include allegations similar to those in the In re Under Armour Securities Litigation matter discussed above that challenges, among other things, the Company’s disclosures related to growth and consumer demand for certain of the Company’s products and stock sales by certain individual defendants. The operative complaints in each of these cases assert breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against the individual defendants. The operative complaint in the Kenney matter also makes allegations similar to those in the consolidated complaint in the In re Under Armour, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation matter discussed above regarding the Company’s purchase of parcels from entities controlled by Mr. Plank through Sagamore and asserts a claim of corporate waste against the individual defendants. These complaints seek similar remedies to the remedies sought in the In re Under Armour, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation complaint.

The Andersen action was stayed between December 2018 and August 2019 pursuant to a court order. In September 2019, pursuant to an agreement between the parties, the court in the Andersen action entered an order staying that case pending the resolution of the Appeal in In re Under Armour Securities Litigation. On March 29, 2019, the court in the consolidated Kenney action granted the Company’s and the defendants’ motion to stay that case pending the outcome of both the In re Under ArmourConsolidated Securities LitigationAction and an earlier-filed derivative action asserting similar claims relating to the In re Under Armour, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation matters.Company’s purchase of parcels in Port Covington (which derivative action has since been dismissed in its entirety).
Prior to the filing of the derivative complaints in In re Under Armour, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, Kenney v. Plank, et al., and Luger v. Plank, et al., and Andersen v. Plank et al., eachboth of the purported stockholders had sent the CompanyCompany’s Board of Directors a letter demanding that the Company pursue claims similar to the claims asserted in the derivative complaints. Following an investigation, a majority of disinterested and independent directors of the Company determined that the claims should not be pursued by the Company and informed eachboth of these purported stockholders of that determination.
In 2020, 2 additional purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in Maryland state court, in cases captioned Cordell v. Plank, et al. (filed August 11, 2020) and Salo v. Plank, et al. (filed October 21, 2020), respectively.
The complaints in the Cordell and Salo cases name Mr. Plank, certain other current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and certain current and former Company executives as defendants, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaints in these actions assert allegations similar to those in the TAC filed in the Consolidated Securities Action matter discussed above, including allegations challenging (i) the Company’s disclosures related to growth and consumer demand for certain of the Company’s products; (ii) the Company’s practice of shifting sales between quarterly periods supposedly to appear healthier and its purported failure to disclose that practice; (iii) the Company’s internal controls with respect to revenue recognition and inventory management; (iv) the Company’s supposed failure to timely disclose investigations by the SEC and DOJ; (v) the compensation paid to the Company’s directors and executives while the alleged wrongdoing was occurring; and/or (vi) stock sales by certain individual defendants. The complaints assert breach of fiduciary duty, unjust

enrichment, and corporate waste claims against the individual defendants. These complaints seek damages on behalf of the Company and certain corporate governance related actions.
Prior to the filing of the derivative complaints in these 2 actions, neither of the purported stockholders made a demand that the Company’s Board of Directors pursue the claims asserted in the complaints.
In October 2021, the court issued an order (i) consolidating the Cordell and Salo actions with the consolidated Kenney action into a single consolidated derivative action (the "Consolidated State Derivative Action"); (ii) designating the Kenney action as the lead case; and (iii) specifying that the scheduling order in the Kenney action shall control the Consolidated State Derivative Action. On December 20, 2021, the court issued an order dismissing the Consolidated State Derivative Action for lack of prosecution pursuant to Maryland Rule 2-507 without prejudice to plaintiffs' right to reinstate the action.
Federal Court Derivative Complaints
In July 2018, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in a case captioned Andersen v. Plank, et al. The complaint in the Andersen matter names Mr. Plank, certain other current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors and certain former Company executives as defendants, and names the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against the individual defendants, and seeks damages on behalf of the Company and certain corporate governance related actions. The complaint includes allegations similar to those in the Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action matter discussed above, challenging, among other things, the Company’s disclosures related to growth and consumer demand for certain of the Company’s products and stock sales by certain individual defendants.
The Andersen action was stayed from December 2018 to August 2019 and again from September 2019 to September 2020 (the “2019 Stay Order”). Pursuant to a series of court ordered stipulations, the terms of the 2019 Stay Order remained in effect through and including January 19, 2021. The stay expired on January 19, 2021.
Prior to the filing of the complaint in the Andersen action, the plaintiff had sent the Company’s Board of Directors a letter demanding that the Company pursue claims similar to the claims asserted in the complaint. Following an investigation, a majority of disinterested and independent directors of the Company determined that the claims should not be pursued by the Company and informed the plaintiff of that determination. During the pendency of the Andersen action, the plaintiff sent the Company’s Board of Directors a second letter demanding that the Company pursue claims similar to the claims asserted in the TAC in the Consolidated Securities Action. Following an investigation, a majority of disinterested and independent directors of the Company determined that the claims should not be pursued by the Company and informed the plaintiff of that determination.
In September 2020, 2 additional derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (in cases captioned Olin v. Plank, et al. (filed September 1, 2020), and Smith v. Plank, et al. (filed September 8, 2020), respectively). Prior to the filing of the derivative complaints in these 2 actions, neither of the purported stockholders made a demand that the Company’s Board of Directors pursue the claims asserted in the complaints. On November 20, 2020, another derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in a case captioned Viskovich v. Plank, et al. Prior to filing his derivative complaint, the plaintiff in the Viskovich matter made a demand that the Company’s Board of Directors pursue the claims asserted in the complaint but filed suit before the Board had responded to the demand. Following an investigation, a majority of disinterested and independent directors of the Company determined that the claims asserted in the demand by the plaintiff in the Viskovich action should not be pursued by the Company and informed the plaintiff of that determination.
The complaints in the Olin, Smith, and Viskovich cases name Mr. Plank, certain other current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and certain current and former Company executives as defendants, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaints in these actions assert allegations similar to those in the TAC filed in the Consolidated Securities Action matter discussed above, including allegations challenging (i) the Company’s disclosures related to growth and consumer demand for certain of the Company’s products; (ii) the Company’s practice of shifting sales between quarterly periods supposedly to appear healthier and its purported failure to disclose that practice; (iii) the Company’s internal controls with respect to revenue recognition and inventory management; (iv) the Company’s supposed failure to timely disclose investigations by the SEC and DOJ; and/or (v) the compensation paid to the Company’s directors and executives while the alleged wrongdoing was occurring. The complaints assert breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, and/or corporate waste claims against the individual defendants. The Viskovich complaint also asserts a contribution claim against certain defendants under the federal securities laws. These complaints seek damages on behalf of the Company and certain corporate governance related actions.

On January 27, 2021, the court entered an order consolidating for all purposes the Andersen, Olin, Smith and Viskovich actions into a single action under the caption Andersen v. Plank, et al. (the “Federal Court Derivative Action”). In February 2021, counsel for the Smith and Olin plaintiffs, on the one hand, and counsel for the Andersen and Viskovich plaintiffs, on the other hand, filed motions seeking to be appointed as lead counsel in the Federal Court Derivative Action. These motions are currently pending.
The Company believes that the claims asserted in the derivative complaintsFederal Court Derivative Action are without merit and intends to defend these mattersthis matter vigorously. However, because of the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of these proceedings,this proceeding, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible impact of the outcome of these matters.
Data Incident
In 2018, an unauthorized third party acquired data associated with the Company's Connected Fitness users' accounts for the Company's MyFitnessPal application and website. The Company has faced consumer class action lawsuits associated with this incident and has received inquiries regarding the incident from certain government regulators and agencies. The Company does not currently consider these matters to be material and believes its insurance coverage will provide coverage should any significant expense arise.

10. Fair Value MeasurementsNOTE 11. REVENUES
For a discussion of disaggregated revenue, refer to Note 19.
The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts. These reserves are included within customer refund liability and the value of the inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the customer refund liability, as well as the associated value of inventory for the periods indicated:
(In thousands)Balance as of
December 31, 2021
Balance as of
December 31, 2020
Customer refund liability$164,294 $203,399 
Inventory associated with the reserves$47,569 $57,867 
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities are recorded when a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the transfer of a good or service to the customer, and thus represent the Company's obligation to transfer the good or service to the customer at a future date. The Company's contract liabilities primarily consist of payments received in advance of revenue recognition for subscriptions for the Company's digital fitness applications and royalty arrangements, included in other current and other long-term

Table of Contents
liabilities, and gift cards, included in accrued expenses on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, contract liabilities were $39.1 million and $26.7 million, respectively.
For Fiscal 2021, the Company recognized$21.5 million of revenue that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020. For Fiscal 2020, the Company recognized $16.1 million of revenue that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2019. The change in the contract liabilities balance primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of performance obligations and the customer's payment. Commissions related to subscription revenue are capitalized and recognized over the subscription period.

NOTE 12. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
During Fiscal 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan ranging between $550 million to $600 million in costs (the "2020 restructuring plan") designed to rebalance the Company’s cost base to further improve profitability and cash flow generation.
Restructuring and related impairment charges and recoveries require the Company to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing as to when these charges or recoveries occur. The estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, the Company conducts an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revises its assumptions and estimates as appropriate, as new or updated information becomes available. As of December 31, 2021, the Company currently estimates total restructuring and related charges associated with the 2020 restructuring plan will range between $525 million to $550 million.
The restructuring and related charges primarily consist of approximately:
$172 million of cash restructuring charges, of which approximately $26 million relates to employee severance and benefit costs, $14 million relates to facility and lease termination costs and $132 million relates to contract termination and other restructuring costs; and
$378 million of non-cash charges, of which approximately $293 million relates to an impairment charge on the Company’s New York City flagship store and $85 million relates to intangibles and other asset related impairments.
The Company recorded $41.0 million of restructuring and related impairment charges during Fiscal 2021 and $472.7 million during Fiscal 2020, under the 2020 restructuring plan. As of December 31, 2021, $513.8 million of restructuring and related impairment charges under the 2020 restructuring plan have been recorded since the inception of the plan.
The following table illustrates the costs recorded during Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, as well as the Company's current estimates of the amount expected to be incurred in connection with the 2020 restructuring plan:

During the Fiscal 2021, the Company substantially completed its change to a distributor model for certain countries within its Latin America region. The Company recognized a net loss on disposal of its assets and liabilities of approximately $30.6 million, which has been recorded as part of total restructuring expense.

NOTE 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 $8.9 million, $5.4 million and $7.5 million for Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively. During Fiscal 2020, the Company temporarily suspended 401(k) matching contributions for approximately five months as part of the Company's capital preservation efforts in response to COVID-19. Shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class C common stock are not investment options in this plan.
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, 2021 and 2020, the Deferred Compensation Plan obligations were $14.5 million and $14.3 million, respectively, and were included in other long term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company established a Rabbi Trust to fund obligations to participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the assets held in the Rabbi Trust were TOLI policies with cash-surrender values of $9.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively. These assets are consolidated and are included in other long term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 15 for a discussion of the fair value measurements of the assets held in the Rabbi Trust and the Deferred Compensation Plan obligations.

NOTE 14. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Under Armour, Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended (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. The 2005 Plan terminates in 2025. As of December 31, 2021, 8.3 million Class A shares and 28.6 million Class C shares are available for future grants of awards under the 2005 Plan.
Awards Granted to Employees and Non-Employee Directors
Total stock-based compensation expense associated with awards granted to employees and non-employee directors for Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019 was $43.8 million, $42.1 million and $49.6 million, respectively. The related tax benefits, excluding consideration of valuation allowances, were $8.2 million, $9.0 million, and $11.8 million for Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020, and Fiscal 2019, respectively. The deferred tax assets and valuation allowances associated with these benefits were $7.2 million, $9.0 million, and $2.7 million for Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020, and Fiscal 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $78.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.44 years. Refer to “Stock Options” and “Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards” below for further information on these awards.
A summary of each of these plans is as follows:
Employee Stock Compensation Plan
Stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards under the 2005 Plan generally vest ratably over a two to five years period. The contractual term for stock options is generally 10 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.
Non-Employee Director Compensation 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-
81

Table of Contents
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 $100 thousand on the grant date and vesting in 3 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 $150 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 1 share of the Company’s Class A or Class C Common Stock with the shares delivered six months following the termination of the director’s service.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) allows for the purchase of Class A Common Stock and Class C 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, 2021, 2.7 million Class A shares and 1.7 million Class C shares are available for future purchases under the ESPP. During Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, 234.7 thousand, 482.9 thousand and 329.1 thousand Class C shares were purchased under the ESPP, respectively.
Awards granted to Marketing Partners
In addition to the plans discussed above, the Company may also, from time to time, issue deferred stock units or restricted stock units to certain of our marketing partners in connection with their entering into endorsement and other marketing services agreements with us. The terms of each agreement set forth the number of units to be granted and the delivery dates for the shares, which range over a multi-year period, depending on the contract.
Total stock-based compensation expense related to these awards for Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019 was $3.5 million, $3.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, we had $8.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense associated with these awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.74 years.
Summary by Award Classification:
Stock Options
No stock options were granted during Fiscal 2021. The weighted average fair value of a stock option granted for Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019 was $6.61 and $8.70, respectively.

There were no performance-based restricted stock units awarded during Fiscal 2021 or Fiscal 2020. The performance-based restricted stock units awarded in Fiscal 2019 had weighted average grant date fair values of $19.39 and had vesting that was tied to the achievement of certain combined annual revenue and operating income targets. The Company deemed the achievement of these revenue and operating income targets improbable, and accordingly, a reversal of expense of $2.9 million and $1.5 million were recorded for the performance-based restricted stock units and stock options for Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively.

NOTE 15. 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:
77

Table of Contents
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.

Table of Contents
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 market exchange rate. The interest rate swap contracts represent gains and losses on the derivative contracts, 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 isare 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.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of the Company's Senior Notes was $587.5 million and $500.1 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's other long term debt approximated its fair value as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The fair value of long term debt is estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (Level 2).

The Company's income tax expense (benefit) for 2019, as compared to 2018, was higher primarily due to pre-tax income in 2019 compared to pre-tax losses in 2018, increases in valuation allowances recorded for certain U.S. state jurisdictions, and the one-time benefit in 2018 for an intercompany intangible asset sale. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in valuation allowances recorded for certain foreign jurisdictions in 2019 compared to 2018.

All deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets asAs of December 31, 20192021 and December 31, 2018. In evaluating its ability to realize2020, the net deferred tax assets, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including its past operating results and the forecast of future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The assumptions utilized in determining future taxable income require significant judgment and actual operating results in future years could differ from the current assumptions, judgments and estimates.
A significant portionfair value of the Company’s deferred tax assets relateConvertible Senior Noteswas $149.6 million and $828.2 million, respectively. The Company entered into exchange agreements with certain holders during Fiscal 2021 to U.S. federalexchange approximately $419.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes for a combination of cash and state taxing jurisdictions. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on future U.S. pre-tax earnings. In evaluating the recoverability of these deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019, the Company has considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, including but not limitedshares (see Note 8 to the following:

The continued challenges in the U.S. consumer retail business environment.

The Company believes that the weight of the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence regarding the realization of its U.S. federal deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its ability to realize these assets on a quarterly basis.
The Company believes the weight of the negative evidence outweighs the positive evidence regarding the realization of the majority of the state deferred tax assets, including state net operating loss carryforwards, state tax credit carryforwards, and certain other state deferred tax assets, and has recorded valuation allowances of $54.5 million against these state deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2019,2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had $24.1 million in deferred tax assets associated with $383.6 million in state net operating loss carryforwards and $7.5 million in deferred tax assets associated with state tax credits, net of federal benefit, the majority of which are definite lived. Certainfair value of the definite lived state net operating lossesSenior Notes was $619.9 million and state tax credits will begin$602.6 million, respectively.
Certain assets are not remeasured to expire within 1fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to 5 years, and the majority will begin to expire within 5 to 20 years.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $31.5 millionfair value adjustments only in deferred taxcertain circumstances. These assets associated with approximately $124.8 million in foreign net operating loss carryforwards and $11.8 million in deferred tax assets associated with foreign tax credit carryforwards. While the majority of the foreign net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period, certain are definite lived, with the majority to expire within 5 to 12 years. Additionally, as of December 31, 2019, the Company is not able to forecast the utilization of a majority of the deferred tax assets associated with foreign net operating loss carryforwards, foreign tax credit carryforwards and certain other foreign deferred taxcan include long-lived assets and has recorded a valuation allowance of $47.5 million against these foreign deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2019, approximately $165.4 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries whose cumulative undistributed earnings total $765.5 million. The Tax Act imposed U.S. federal tax on all post-1986 foreign unrepatriated earnings accumulated through December 31, 2017. The portion of these earningsgoodwill that have been reduced to fair value when impaired. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subjectsubsequently adjusted to U.S. federal income tax as part of the one-time transition tax should, in general, not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Company will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings, as well as future earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, to fund international growth and operations. If the Company were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds, the Company would still be required to accrue and pay certain taxes upon repatriation, including foreign withholding taxes and certain U.S. state taxes and record foreign exchange rate impacts. Determination of the unrecorded deferred tax liability that would be incurred if such amounts were repatriated is not practicable.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, was approximately $44.3 million and $60.0 million, respectively.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, the Company does not anticipate that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will change significantly during the next twelve months. However, changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes, and timing of such events could cause the Company's current estimate to change materially in the future.fair value unless further impairment occurs.

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 $100.0 thousand 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 $150.0 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 or Class C Common Stock with the shares delivered six months following the termination of the director’s service.
Stock Options

Cash Flow Hedges
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 driven by non-functional currency generated revenue, non-functional currency inventory purchases, investments in U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale debt securities, and certain other intercompany transactions. The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to reduce the risk associated with the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on these transactions. Certain contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2019,2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate notional value of the Company's outstanding cash flow hedges was $879.8$556.5 million and $812.5 million, respectively, with contract maturities ranging from one to twenty-four months.
The Company may 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 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. The interest rate swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 78 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of long term debt. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts.
For contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in current earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects current earnings. Effective hedge results are classified in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operationsOperations in the same manner as the underlying exposure.
Undesignated Derivative Instruments
The Company may elect to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.Consolidated Balance Sheets. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding

change in fair value recognized in other expense, net, together with the re-measurement gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position. As of December 31, 2019,2021 and December 31, 2020, the total notional value of the Company's outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $304.2 million.$258.2 million and $313.1 million, respectively.
Credit Risk
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 the unrealized gains in the derivative contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

Income tax expense decreased $17.3 million to an expense of $32.1 million in 2021 from an expense of $49.4 million in 2020. The Company recorded 2021 income tax expense on pretax earnings, inclusive of benefits for the reduction in U.S. valuation allowances, compared to 2020 income tax expense on pretax losses, which included the impact of recording valuation allowances for previously recognized deferred tax assets in the U.S. and China.

All deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In evaluating its ability to realize the net deferred tax assets, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including its past operating results and the forecast of future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The assumptions utilized in determining future taxable income require significant judgment and actual operating results in future years could differ from the Company's current assumptions, judgments and estimates.
A significant portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets relate to U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on future U.S. pre-tax earnings. In evaluating the recoverability of these deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021, the Company has considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, including but not limited to the following:
Positive
Current year pre-tax earnings.
Restructuring plans undertaken in 2017, 2018, and 2020, which aim to improve future profitability.
No history of U.S. federal and state tax attributes expiring unused.
Existing sources of taxable income.
88

Table of Contents
16. Related Party TransactionsAvailable prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

Negative
Restructuring plan undertaken in 2020 resulting in significant charges in pre-tax income, reducing profitability in the United States.
The negative economic impact and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cumulative pre-tax losses in recent years in the United States.
Inherent challenges in forecasting future pre-tax earnings which rely, in part, on improved profitability from our restructuring efforts.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company believes that the weight of the negative evidence outweighs the positive evidence regarding the realization of the United States deferred tax assets and have recorded a valuation allowance of $250.1 million against the U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.
As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of DTAs. The Company's current forecasts for the United States indicate that it is probable that additional deferred taxes could be realizable based on near term trend towards three-year cumulative taxable earnings. The actualization of these forecasted results may potentially outweigh the negative evidence, resulting in a reversal of all or a portion of previously recorded valuation allowances in the United States. The release of valuation allowances would result in a benefit to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net income. The timing and amount of the potential valuation allowance release are subject to significant management judgment, as well as prospective pre-tax earnings in the United States. The Company will continue to evaluate its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $16.6 million in deferred tax assets associated with $295.1 million in state net operating loss carryforwards and $7.3 million in deferred tax assets associated with state and federal tax credits, the majority of which are definite lived. Certain of the definite lived state net operating losses and state tax credits will begin to expire within one to five years, and the majority will begin to expire within five to twenty years. The Company had $57.1 million in deferred tax assets associated with federal and state capital loss carryforwards of $126.8 million, which, if unused, will expire in four years. The Company is not able to forecast the utilization of the deferred tax assets associated with state net operating loss carryforwards, the deferred tax assets associated with federal and state capital loss carryforwards, and a majority of the deferred tax assets associated with state and federal tax credits and has recorded a valuation allowance of $80 million against these deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $39.2 million in deferred tax assets associated with approximately $199.4 million in foreign net operating loss carryforwards and $8.6 million in deferred tax assets associated with foreign tax credit carryforwards. While the majority of the foreign net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credit carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period, certain are definite lived, with the majority to expire within 5 to 12 years. Additionally, the Company is not able to forecast the utilization of a majority of the deferred tax assets associated with foreign net operating loss carryforwards, foreign tax credit carryforwards and certain other foreign deferred tax assets and has recorded a valuation allowance of $68.2 million against these foreign deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2021, approximately $612.2 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries whose cumulative undistributed earnings total $957.3 million. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 imposed U.S. federal tax on all post-1986 foreign unrepatriated earnings accumulated through December 31, 2017. The portion of these earnings not subject to U.S. federal income tax as part of the one-time transition tax should, in general, not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Company will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings, as well as future earnings from its foreign subsidiaries, to fund international growth and operations. If the Company was to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds, it would still be required to accrue and pay certain taxes upon repatriation, including foreign withholding taxes and certain U.S. state taxes and record foreign exchange rate impacts. Determination of the unrecorded deferred tax liability that would be incurred if such amounts were repatriated is not practicable.

As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $54.6 million, $44.6 million and $44.3 million, respectively. These liabilities include $5.5 million, $4.3 million, and $3.1 million, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties. For each of Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, the Company recorded $1.2 million, $1.2 million, and $2.0 million, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties within the provision for income taxes on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2021, $35.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, would impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. Also included in the balance are unrecognized tax benefits of $11.7 million that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to other tax accounts, primarily valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for the years 2015 through 2017. The majority of the Company's other returns for years before 2015 are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing tax audits and assessments and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, the Company does not anticipate that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, will change significantly during the next twelve months. However, changes in the occurrence, expected outcomes, and timing of such events could cause the Company's current estimate to change materially in the future.

being in a net loss position for Fiscal 2020, there were no stock options or restricted stock units included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 19. SEGMENT DATA AND DISAGGREGATED REVENUE
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 of being a global brand. These geographic regions include North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Each geographic segment operates exclusively in one industry: the development, marketing and distribution of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. Total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets are not disclosed as this information is not regularly provided to the CODM.
Prior to the sale of MyFitnessPal in December 2020, the CODM also received discrete financial information for the Connected Fitness segment. However, beginning January 1, 2021, the Company no longer reports Connected Fitness as a discrete reportable operating segment (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). All prior period balances have been recast to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total consolidated revenues, consolidated income from operations or consolidated net income.
The Company excludes certain corporate costs from its segment profitability measures. The Company reports these costs within Corporate Other, along with the revenue and costs related to the Company's MMR platforms, which is designed to provide increased transparency and comparability of the Company's operating segments' performance. Furthermore, the majority of the costs included within Corporate Other consist largely of general and administrative expenses not allocated to an operating segment, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments such as global marketing, global IT, global supply chain, innovation and other corporate support functions; costs related to the Company's global assets and global marketing; costs related to the Company’s headquarters, such as restructuring and restructuring related charges; and certain foreign currency hedge gains and losses.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s internal
Management's Annual Report on Internal control over financial reporting asFinancial Reporting is included in Item 8 of December 31, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as stated in their report which appears herein.this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Controls
In 2015, we beganWe have assessed the process of implementing a global operating and financial reporting information technology system, SAP Fashion Management Solution ("FMS"), as part of a multi-year plan to integrate and upgrade our systems and processes. The first phase of this implementation became operational in July 2017, in our North America, EMEA, and Connected Fitness operations. The second phase of this implementation became operational in April 2019 in China and South Korea. We believe the implementation of the systems and relatedimpact on changes to internal controls will enhance our internal controls over financial reporting. We also expect to continue to see enhancements to our global systems, which will then continue to strengthen our internal financial reporting controls by automating select manual processes and standardizing both business processes and relied upon reporting across our organization.
We are currently in the process of implementing FMS in our Latin America operations and expect it to become operational in 2020. As the phased implementation of this system continues, we will continue to experience certain changes to our processes and procedures which, in turn, result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we believe that our robust assessment provides effective global coverage for key control activities that support our internal controls over financial reporting, conclusion. While we expect FMS to strengthen our internal financial controls by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, management will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal controls as each of the affected areas evolve. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems, see Item 1A - "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business - Risks and uncertainties associated with the implementation of information systems may negatively impact our business."
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we implemented controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new lease accounting standard on our financial statements in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. We also implemented controls to support the new lease system and accounting under this ASU to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting.
Thereconclude that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that a significant number of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor and assess impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our control environment and control activities in order to minimize the impact on the design and operating effectiveness of our controls.
