Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2021

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Under Armour, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements were condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations were included. Intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 ("Fiscal 2020"), filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021 ("Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2020"), which should be read in conjunction with these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021"), or any other portions thereof.

Connected Fitness

Prior to January 1, 2021, the Company's previously reported "Connected Fitness" segment was composed of digital subscription and advertising conducted through various platforms, predominantly the MyFitnessPal, MapMyFitness, consisting of applications such as MapMyRun and MapMyRide (collectively "MMR"), and Endomondo platforms. While the Company continues to operate the MMR platforms, MyFitnessPal was sold in December 2020 and Endomondo was wound down in December 2020 as part of the Company's 2020 restructuring plan. As a result of these changes, beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 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 unaudited condensed 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 number of factors including, but not limited to, any new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions 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 which the

Company operates. Please see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2020.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashThe Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company's restricted cash is reserved for payments related to claims for its captive insurance program, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's unaudited condensed 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 wholesale customers. One of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10.0% of the accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2021. None of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, one customer in North America accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues. The Company regularly evaluates the credit risk of the large wholesale customers which make up the majority of the Company's accounts receivable. Refer to the "Credit Losses - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" below for a discussion of the evaluation of credit losses.

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 channels, recorded within accounts receivable, net on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company also has other receivables, including receivables from licensing arrangements recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Credit is extended to customers based on a credit review. The credit review considers each customer’s financial condition, including a review of the customers established credit rating or, if an established customer 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 terms of credit 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, the Company may require customers to provide security in the form of guarantees, letters of credit, or prepayment. 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 collectibility of customer accounts. The Company makes ongoing estimates relating to the collectibility of accounts receivable and records an allowance for estimated losses expected from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company establishes expected credit losses by evaluating historical levels of credit losses, current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay, and creditworthiness of significant customers. These inputs are used to determine a range of expected credit losses and an allowance is recorded within the range. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

The allowance for doubtful accounts was established with information available as of September 30, 2021, including reasonable and supportable estimates of future risk.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 606 ("ASC 606"). Net revenues consist of net sales of apparel, footwear and accessories, license revenues and revenues from digital subscriptions and advertising.

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 unaudited condensed 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. 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-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 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 redemptions.

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, 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 digital 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Related commission cost is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Revenue from 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

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 September 30, 2021		Balance as of December 31, 2020		Balance as of September 30, 2020
Customer refund liability	$	174,274	$	203,399	$	197,496
Inventory associated with the reserves	$	50,544	$	57,867	$	50,779

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 liabilities, and gift cards, included in accrued expenses, on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, contract liabilities were $24.3 million, $26.7 million and $64.9 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of revenue that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $9.9 million and $21.2 million, respectively, 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.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company charges customers shipping and handling fees based on contractual terms, which are recorded in net revenues. The Company incurs freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers. These costs are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.

The Company also incurs outbound handling costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, these costs totaled $13.8 million and $63.3 million, respectively, (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $21.2 million and $61.2 million, respectively).

Equity Method Investment

The Company has a common stock investment of 29.5% in Dome Corporation ("Dome"), the Company's Japanese licensee. The Company accounts for its investment in Dome under the equity method, given it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Dome. The Company recorded its allocable share of Dome’s net income (loss) of $0 and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $0 and $(1.4) million, respectively) within income

(loss) from equity method investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and as an adjustment to the invested balance within other long term assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Dome was $1.8 million. The Company's investment in Dome had no carrying value as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

In addition to the investment in Dome, the Company has a license agreement with Dome. The Company recorded license revenues from Dome of $11.1 million and $22.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $10.9 million and $17.4 million, respectively). As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the Company had $8.9 million, $22.9 million, and $8.5 million, respectively, in licensing receivables outstanding, recorded in the prepaid expenses and other current assets line item within the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On March 2, 2020, as part of the Company's acquisition of Triple Pte. Ltd., the Company assumed 49.5% of common stock ownership in UA Sports (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“UA Sports Thailand”). The Company accounts for its investment in UA Sports Thailand under the equity method, given it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over UA Sports Thailand. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded the allocable share of UA Sports Thailand’s net income (loss) of $(921) thousand and $(873) thousand, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively) within income (loss) from equity method investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and as an adjustment to the invested balance within other long term assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in UA Sports Thailand was $4.7 million, $4.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06 "Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" ("ASU 2020-06"). The amendment in this update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. The update also requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements, and information about events, conditions, and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity’s future cash flows related to those instruments. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company currently does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and then issued a subsequent amendment to the initial guidance under ASU 2021-01 (collectively Topic 848). Topic 848 provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, derivatives and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, derivatives and other transactions that reference the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. The Company adopted Topic 848 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2021. The adoption did not have an impact to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value accounting guidance outlines a valuation framework, creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures, and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


Level 1:			Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:			Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3:			Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
