UAA reported better than expected results with adj. EPS of 25c beating our consensus

Market Cap  (US$M): 10,478
Shares Out. (M)  : 451.0 channel likely drove the majority of the upside), gross margin expansion of 16bps vs. our

Under Armour
Raising Target Price

Mixed Q3 results: Relative to our model, majority of the beat was driven by lower
SG&A growth (+11c) coupled with higher gross margin (+2c) and higher revenue
(+1c). Revenue growth of 2.4% exceeded our +0.3% estimate, with the
outperformance driven by apparel (+4.2% vs. our flat est.) as footwear (flat) was in-
line with our estimate and accessories (-6%) fell short of our +2% est. Growth in
apparel was driven by Armour, Storm and ColdGear Reactor fleece along with
Recovery apparel. Running benefited from strength in HOVR (Phantom, Sonic, CGR,
SLK), Curry 5 and Forge 96. By region, international (+15.1%) was the primary growth
driver as NA declined 1.6%. Gross margin expanded ~16bps (vs. our -48bps est.) as
+70bps benefit from lower product costs and lower promotions was partially offset by
-40bps impact from higher mix of lower margin distributor sales.

Target Price / Valuation Methodology:
Under Armour - UAA
Our $13 price target is a blend of 45x our 2019 EPS estimate, 20x EV/EBITDA, and DCF.
Risks to achieving Target Price / Valuation:
Under Armour - UAA
Principal risks to our SELL thesis include: 1) sales materially improve faster than we are anticipating in 2018, which would reduce the
expense deleverage we are modeling. Accelerated innovation could drive faster-than-anticipated sales growth; 2) the company reduces
its fixed expenses faster than we anticipate next year, thus protecting margins to a greater degree; 3) a take-out offer is made by a
strategic or financial buyer.

investments discussed in this research may not be eligible for sale in some jurisdictions. This research is not, and under no

Short-Term Trade Ideas
Research Analysts may, from time to time, discuss “short-term trade ideas” in research reports. A short-term trade idea offers a near-
term view on how a security may trade, based on market and trading events or catalysts, and the resulting trading opportunity that may
be available. Any such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analysts' fundamental equity rating for such stocks. A
short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports that reflect the research
analyst's views of the longer-term (i.e. one-year or greater) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons,
methodologies and/or other factors. It is possible, for example, that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-
term ‘Hold' or 'Sell' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure in the market or for other
reasons described in the research report; conversely, a subject company's stock rated a long-term 'Buy' or “Speculative Buy’ could be
considered susceptible to a downward price correction, or other factors may exist that lead the research analyst to suggest a sale over
the short-term. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and the firm does not intend, and does not
undertake any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade ideas are not suitable for all investors and are
not tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and investors should make their own independent decisions regarding
any securities or strategies discussed herein. Please contact your salesperson for more information regarding Canaccord Genuity’s
research.
