Under Armour Inc ( NYSE: UAA ) on Friday reported market-beating results for its fiscal fourth quarter. The stock still slipped 10% after the sports equipment company warned the impact of COVID-related supply constraints could be bigger than previously estimated.
Highlights of the Q4 earnings report
Under Armour said its net income printed at $109.7 million that translates to 23 cents per share. In the comparable quarter of last year, it had posted $184.5 million in net income or 40 cents per share.
On an adjusted basis, the company that manufactures footwear, sports and casual apparel earned 14 cents per share. At $1.529 billion, Under Armour noted an annualised growth of 9.0% in its quarterly revenue.
According to FactSet, experts had forecast 14 cents of adjusted EPS on $1.469 billion in revenue. Under Armour noted a 15% growth in Q4 revenue from North America and a 3.0% increase internationally.
Guidance for the transition period
Last year, the U.S. firm said it’s moving the end of its fiscal year from December 31 st to March 31 st . For the transition period from January 1 st to March 31 st , the NYSE-listed company raised its guidance for a 5.0% increase in revenue on up to 3 cents of EPS.
Its outlook for revenue assumes a 10% hit from the COVID-related supply constraints. FactSet has not compiled a consensus for the three-month transition period. In the earnings press release , CEO Patrik Frisk said:
As we navigate ongoing uncertainty, going forward, I’m confident that we’re running a strong company – one that’s able to deliver sustainable, profitable growth and value creation for our shareholders over the long-term.
Last month, Baird said UAA could climb to $32 a share – an 80% increase from here.
