All dollar and percentage comparisons made herein refer to Fiscal 2023 compared with the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, unless otherwise noted. Please refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 23, 2022, for a comparative discussion of our Fiscal 2021 financial results as compared to Fiscal 2020, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Fiscal Year End Change

As previously disclosed, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31, effective for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2022. Our current fiscal year began on April 1, 2022 and ended on March 31, 2023 ("Fiscal 2023"). We refer to the period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2022 as the "Transition Period". We filed a Transition Report on Form 10-QT that included financial information for the Transition Period with the SEC on May 9, 2022. Our 2021 fiscal year began on January 1, 2021 and ended on December 31, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021"). There was no Fiscal 2022.

We have presented the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 as a comparison to our results for Fiscal 2023 as we believe this comparison is more meaningful to a reader’s understanding of our Fiscal 2023 results of operations than a comparison to Fiscal 2021. A comparison of the three-months ended March 31, 2022 to the three-months ended March 31, 2021 may be found in Part I, Item 2, of our Transition Report on Form 10-QT for the three-months ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2022.

The following tables have been included to help readers better understand how the statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 were derived.

and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe, and by consumers with active lifestyles.

Strategically and operationally, we remain focused on driving premium brand-right growth and improved profitability. We plan to continue to grow our business over the long-term through increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories; growth in our direct-to-consumer sales channel; and expansion of our wholesale distribution. We believe that achievement of our long-term growth objectives depends, in part, on our ability to execute strategic initiatives in key areas including our wholesale, footwear, women’s and direct-to-consumer businesses. Additionally, our digital strategy is focused on supporting these long-term objectives, emphasizing connection and engagement with our consumers through multiple digital touchpoints.

During Fiscal 2023, we faced a challenging retail environment that included higher promotions and discounting related to industry-wide elevated inventory balances, ongoing COVID-19 related impacts in China and further negative impacts from changes in foreign currency rates.

Fiscal 2023 Performance

Financial highlights for Fiscal 2023 as compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 include:

•Total net revenues increased 3.1%.

•Within our channels, wholesale revenue increased 5.9% and direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 2.5%.

•Within our product categories, apparel revenue decreased 0.9%, footwear revenue increased 16.3%, and accessories revenue decreased 7.4%.

•Net revenue in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), Latin America and Asia-Pacific increased 13.2%, 10.7% and 2.7%, respectively, while revenue decreased 0.6% in North America.

•Gross margin decreased 470 basis points to 44.9%.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.0%.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and may continue to cause, disruption and volatility in our business and in the businesses of our wholesale customers, licensing partners, suppliers, logistics providers and vendors.

During Fiscal 2023, we continued to experience COVID-19 related impacts, including global logistical challenges, such as increased freight costs and transportation delays, and labor disruptions in China, which caused temporary closures of our Brand and Factory House stores, distribution centers and corporate facilities in China and negatively impacted consumer traffic and demand. As of March 31, 2023, we continue to see improvements across our supply chain, including progress towards a return to pre-pandemic production efficiency and improving freight costs, and all of our Brand and Factory House stores, distribution centers and corporate facilities in China were open. However, the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our financial results for Fiscal 2023, and we cannot predict how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business and results of operations in Fiscal 2024.

For a more complete discussion of the COVID-19 related risks facing our business, refer to our "Risk Factors" section included in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Effects of Inflation and Other Global Events

Macroeconomic factors, such as inflationary pressures and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have and may continue to impact our business. We continue to monitor these factors and the potential impacts they may have on our financial results, including product input costs, freight costs and consumer discretionary spending and therefore consumer demand for our products. We also continue to monitor the broader impacts of the Russia Ukraine conflict on the global economy, including its effect on inflationary pressures and the price of oil globally.

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 impact our sales, profitability and financial condition"; "—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"; "—Our financial results and ability to grow our business may be negatively impacted by global events beyond our control"; and "—Financial Risks—Our financial results could be adversely impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations" included in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenues

Net revenues consist of net sales, license revenues, and revenues from digital subscriptions, other digital business opportunities and advertising. Net sales consist of sales from apparel, footwear and accessories products. Our license revenues primarily consist of fees paid to us by licensees in exchange for the use of our trademarks on their products. The following tables summarize net revenues by product category and distribution channel for the periods indicated:

(1) "N/M" = not meaningful

(2) During the Fiscal 2023, we recognized approximately $10.1 million of revenue relating to gift cards not expected to be redeemed ("breakage"), which was previously included in contract liabilities. Refer to Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

(3) Corporate Other primarily includes foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within our operating segments but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program, as well as subscription revenues from MMR and revenue from other digital business opportunities.

Net sales

Net sales increased by $134.5 million, or 2.4%, to $5,735.4 million during Fiscal 2023, from $5,600.9 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. Apparel decreased primarily due to lower average selling prices, resulting from higher discounts and promotions and the impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higher unit sales and favorable channel mix. Additionally, apparel was positively impacted by the recognition of breakage relating to gift cards, as described in the table above. Footwear increased primarily due to higher unit sales which benefited from better product availability, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates and unfavorable channel mix. Accessories decreased primarily due to lower average selling prices, the impact of foreign exchange rates and unfavorable channel mix. From a channel perspective, the increase in net sales was due to an increase in wholesale, partially offset by a decrease in direct-to-consumer.

License revenues

License revenues decreased by $0.8 million or 0.7%, to $116.7 million during Fiscal 2023, from $117.6 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. This was primarily due to lower revenues from our Japanese licensee, partially offset by higher revenues from our licensing partners in the North America region.

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. 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 digital

31

Table of Contents

subscription and advertising 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 $79.5 million in Fiscal 2023 (twelve months ended March 31, 2022: $76.9 million).

Gross profit decreased by $188.7 million to $2,649.3 million during Fiscal 2023, from $2,838.0 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, decreased to 44.9% from 49.6%. This decrease in gross margin of 470 basis points was primarily driven by negative impacts of approximately:

•170 basis points from higher promotions and discounting within our direct-to-consumer channel and unfavorable pricing of sales to the off-price channel;

•130 basis points of supply chain impact mainly due to higher product input costs and freight costs;

•70 basis points from unfavorable channel impacts;

•50 basis points from changes in foreign currency;

•30 basis points from unfavorable product mix due to the strength of footwear sales; and

•20 basis points from unfavorable regional mix.

We expect higher discounting and promotional activities and elevated product input costs to continue to negatively impact our gross margin in the near term.

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 directly to teams and 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.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses$2,365,529$2,414,499$(48,970)(2.0)%

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $49.0 million, or 2.0%, during Fiscal 2023 as compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. Within selling, general and administrative expense:

•Marketing costs decreased $65.3 million or 9.6%, due to lower marketing activity during the period. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs decreased to 10.5% from 11.9%.

•Other costs increased $16.4 million or 0.9%, primarily driven by higher salaries, other selling expenses, litigation accrual, travel expenses and facility-related expenses, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expenses and lower consulting expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, other costs decreased to 29.6% from 30.2%.

As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 40.1% during Fiscal 2023 as compared to 42.2% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022.

Restructuring and impairment charges within our operating expenses were $90.1 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. No charges were recorded during Fiscal 2023. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net is primarily comprised of interest incurred on our debt facilities, offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest expense, net$12,826$36,317$(23,491)(64.7)%

Interest expense, net decreased by $23.5 million to $12.8 million during Fiscal 2023. This was primarily due to an increase in interest income as a result of higher interest rates and a reduction in interest expense on our Convertible Senior Notes as a result of repurchasing approximately $419.1 million in aggregate principal amount during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net primarily consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses on our foreign currency derivative financial instruments, and unrealized and realized gains and losses on adjustments that arise from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by our international subsidiaries. Other income (expense), net also includes rent expense relating to lease assets held solely for sublet purposes, primarily the lease related to our New York City, 5th Avenue location.

Other income (expense), net$16,780$(43,984)$60,764138.2%

Other income (expense), net increased by $60.8 million to income of $16.8 million during Fiscal 2023. This was primarily due to a loss of $58.5 million that was recognized during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 upon the extinguishment of $419.1 million in principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes. Additionally, other income increased during Fiscal 2023, due to a $10 million higher earnout recorded in connection with the sale of the MyFitnessPal platform. These increases were offset by losses on foreign currency hedges of $5.9 million and losses from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $2.4 million.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense (benefit)$(101,046)$30,372$(131,418)(432.7)%

During Fiscal 2023, income tax expense decreased $131.4 million resulting in an income tax benefit of $101.0 million from an income tax expense of $30.4 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. The change was primarily due to the recognition of an income tax benefit from the release of the U.S. federal valuation allowance on beginning of year deferred tax assets.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "Act") was enacted and signed into law in the United States. The Act contains a number of revisions to the Internal Revenue Code, including a 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases in tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We do not expect these tax provisions to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our operating segments are based on how our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Our segments are defined by geographic regions, including North America, EMEA, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.

We exclude certain corporate items from our segment profitability measures. We report these items within Corporate Other, which is designed to provide increased transparency and comparability of our operating segments' performance. Corporate Other consists primarily of (i) operating results related to our MMR platforms and other digital business opportunities; (ii) general and administrative expenses not allocated to an operating segment, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments which include global marketing, global IT, global supply chain and innovation, and other corporate support functions; (iii) restructuring and restructuring related charges; and (iv) certain foreign currency hedge gains and losses.

The net revenues and operating income (loss) associated with our segments are summarized in the following tables.

(2) During Fiscal 2023, we recognized approximately $10.1 million of revenue relating to gift cards not expected to be redeemed ("breakage"), which was previously included in contract liabilities. Refer to Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

(3) Corporate Other primarily includes foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within our operating segments but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program, as well as subscription revenues from MMR and revenue from other digital business opportunities.

The increase in total net revenues for Fiscal 2023, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, was driven by the following:

•Net revenues in our North America region decreased by $24.8 million, or 0.6%, to $3,821.0 million from $3,845.7 million. This was driven by a decrease in both our direct-to-consumer channel, which includes the recognition of breakage relating to gift cards as described in the table above, and our wholesale channel, partially offset by an increase in license revenues. Within our direct-to-consumer channel, net revenues were lower due to a decrease in owned and operated retail store sales, partially offset by an increase in e-commerce sales.

•Net revenues in our EMEA region increased by $115.9 million, or 13.2%, to $992.6 million from $876.7 million. This was primarily driven by an increase in both our wholesale channel and direct-to-consumer channel. Within our direct-to-consumer channel, net revenues increased in both owned and operated retail store sales and e-commerce sales. Net revenues in our EMEA region were also negatively impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates.

•Net revenues in our Asia-Pacific region increased by $21.9 million, or 2.7%, to $825.3 million from $803.5 million. This was driven by an increase in our wholesale channel, partially offset by a decrease in our direct-to-consumer channel and a decrease in license revenues from our Japanese licensee. Within our direct-to-consumer channel, net revenues were lower due to decreases in both e-commerce and owned and operated retail store sales, which were negatively impacted by COVID-19 related restrictions and limitations in China. Net revenues in our Asia-Pacific region were also negatively impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates.

•Net revenues in our Latin America region increased by $20.6 million, or 10.7%, to $213.2 million from $192.6 million. This was primarily driven by an increase in our wholesale channel, as we have moved to a distributor operating model for certain countries within this region. Within our direct-to-consumer channel,

34

Table of Contents

net revenues were slightly higher due to increases in both owned and operated retail store sales and e-commerce sales.

•Net revenues in our Corporate Other non-operating segment increased by $42.7 million to $51.5 million from $8.8 million. This was primarily driven by foreign currency hedge gains related to revenues generated by entities within our operating segments, but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program.

Corporate Other also includes expenses related to our central supporting functions.

The decrease in total operating income for Fiscal 2023, compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily driven by the following:

•Operating income in our North America region decreased by $180.7 million to $734.9 million from $915.6 million. This was primarily due to a decline in gross profit and higher distribution and selling expenses, partially offset by lower marketing-related expenses. The decline in gross profit was driven by higher product input and freight costs, increased promotions and discounting and lower net revenues as discussed above.

•Operating income in our EMEA region decreased by $24.1 million to $112.2 million from $136.3 million. This was primarily due to a decline in gross profit, higher distribution and selling expenses and higher bad debt expense, partially offset by lower marketing-related expenses. The decline in gross profit was driven by unfavorable channel mix, partially offset by higher net revenues as discussed above.

•Operating income in our Asia-Pacific region increased by $8.4 million to $100.3 million from $91.9 million. This was primarily due to a decrease in marketing-related expenses, consulting expenses and facility-related expenses, partially offset by a decline in gross profit. The decline in gross profit was driven by increased promotions and discounting, partially offset by higher net revenues as discussed above.

•Operating income in our Latin America region decreased by $3.8 million to $23.5 million from $27.3 million. This was primarily due to higher freight and distribution costs, partially offset by higher net revenues.

•Operating loss in our Corporate Other non-operating segment decreased by $150.6 million to $687.0 million from $837.6 million. This was primarily due to gains from foreign currency hedges, lower incentive compensation expenses and no further restructuring charges, partially offset by an increase in salaries expenses and litigation expenses.

LIQUIDITY 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. Our working capital requirements generally reflect the seasonality in our business as we historically recognize the majority of our net revenues in the last 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, including construction of our new global headquarters, leasehold improvements to our Brand and Factory House stores, and investment and improvements in information technology systems. Our inventory strategy is focused on continuing to meet consumer demand while improving our inventory efficiency over the long

term by putting systems and processes in place to improve our inventory management. These systems and processes are designed to improve our forecasting and supply planning capabilities. In addition, we strive to enhance our inventory performance by focusing on adding discipline around product purchasing, reducing production lead time and improving planning and execution for selling excess inventory through our Factory House stores and other liquidation channels.

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $711.9 million 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, 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. In 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 may 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, as described below, in February 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our Class C Common Stock over the following two years and, subsequently, during the Transition Period and Fiscal 2023, we entered into agreements related to accelerated share repurchase transactions to repurchase $425 million of our Class C Common Stock.

If there are unexpected material impacts to our business in future periods from COVID-19 or other global macroeconomic factors 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, reducing compensation costs, including through temporary reductions in pay and layoffs, limiting certain marketing and capital expenditures, and negotiating, extending or delaying payment terms with our customers and vendors. In addition, we may seek alternative sources of liquidity, including but not limited to, accessing the capital markets, sale leaseback transactions or other sales of assets, or other alternative financing measures. However, instability in, or tightening of the capital markets, could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets 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 and could require us to take certain of the liquidity preserving actions described above.

As of March 31, 2023, $396.5 million or approximately 56% 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 borrow in the United States or elect to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds. If we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds, we would be required to accrue and pay certain taxes upon repatriation, including foreign withholding taxes and certain U.S. state taxes and recognized foreign exchange rate impacts. Determination of the unrecorded deferred tax liability that would be incurred if such amounts were repatriated is not practicable.

Refer to our "Risk Factors" section included in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 23, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $500 million (exclusive of fees and commissions) of outstanding shares of our Class C Common Stock over the following two years. The Class C Common Stock may be repurchased from time to time at prevailing prices in the open market, through plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, via private purchases through forward, derivative, accelerated share repurchase transactions or otherwise, subject to applicable regulatory restrictions on volume, pricing and timing. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on market conditions, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors.

Pursuant to the previously disclosed accelerated share repurchase transactions that we entered into in February 2022, May 2022, August 2022 and November 2022 (the "ASR Agreements"), we repurchased 18.7 million and 16.2 million shares of Class C Common Stock, which were immediately retired, during Fiscal 2023 and the Transition Period, respectively. As a result, $174.0 million was recorded to retained earnings to reflect the difference between the market price of the Class C Common Stock repurchased and its par value during Fiscal 2023 (Transition Period: $240.0 million).

36

Table of Contents

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have repurchased a total of $425 million or 34.9 million outstanding shares of our Class C Common Stock under the share repurchase program.

Contractual Commitments

We lease warehouse space, office facilities, space for our Brand and Factory House stores and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2035, excluding extensions at our option, and include provisions for rental adjustments. In addition, this table includes executed lease agreements for Brand and Factory House stores that we did not yet occupy as of March 31, 2023. The operating leases generally contain renewal provisions for varying periods of time. Our significant contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2023 are summarized in the following table:

Payments Due by Period
(In thousands)TotalLess Than 1 Year1 to 3 Years3 to 5 YearsMore Than 5 Years

(1) Includes estimated interest payments based on applicable fixed interest rates as of March 31, 2023, timing of scheduled payments, and the term of the debt obligations.

(2) Includes the minimum payments for lease obligations. The lease obligations do not include any contingent rent expense we may incur at our Brand and Factory house stores based on future sales above a specified minimum or payments made for maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes. Contingent rent expense was $14.2 million for Fiscal 2023.

(3) We generally place orders with our manufacturers at least three to four months in advance of expected future sales. The amounts listed for product purchase obligations primarily represent our open production purchase orders with our manufacturers for our apparel, footwear and accessories, including expected inbound freight, duties and other costs. These open purchase orders specify fixed or minimum quantities of products at determinable prices. The product purchase obligations also includes fabric commitments with our suppliers, which secure a portion of our material needs for future seasons. The reported amounts exclude product purchase liabilities included in accounts payable as of March 31, 2023.

(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.

The table above excludes a liability of $58.8 million for uncertain tax positions, inclusive of related interest and penalties, as the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the timing an amount of future cash settlement. Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of our uncertain tax positions.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $503.9 million, as compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in net income before the impact of non-cash items of $54.0 million and a decrease from changes in working capital of $449.9 million.

The changes in working capital were due to the following outflows:

•$411.3 million from changes in inventories;

•$140.7 million from changes in other non-current assets;

•$69.5 million from changes in accounts receivable; and

•$20.3 million from changes in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

These outflows were partially offset by the following working capital inflows:

•$127.6 million from changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities;

•$33.2 million from changes in customer refund liabilities;

•$26.4 million from changes in accounts payable; and

•$5.0 million from changes in income taxes payable and receivable, net.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $52.4 million, as compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset by the collection of the year one earn-out previously recorded in connection with the sale of the MyFitnessPal platform.

Total capital expenditures during Fiscal 2023 were $187.8 million, or approximately 3% of net revenues, representing an $86.6 million increase from $101.2 million during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. During Fiscal 2021, we reduced capital expenditures in response to ongoing uncertainty related to COVID-19. Our long-term operating principle for capital expenditures is to spend between 3% and 5% of annual net revenues as we invest in our global direct-to-consumer, e-Commerce and digital businesses, information technology systems, distribution centers and our global offices, including our new global headquarters in the Baltimore Peninsula, an area of Baltimore, Maryland, previously referred to as Port Covington. During Fiscal 2023, we incurred capital expenditures of $68.1 million relating to the construction of our new global headquarters. As previously disclosed, our plans for our new headquarters have been designed in line with our long-term sustainability strategy and include 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 next few years to include investments incorporating sustainable and intelligent building design features into this facility.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $599.4 million, as compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, we paid $506.3 million to certain exchanging holders for the exchange of approximately $419.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes. Concurrently with these exchanges we terminated certain capped call agreements and in exchange received approximately $91.7 million. For more details, see discussion below under "1.50% Convertible Senior Notes". Additionally, during Fiscal 2023 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, we paid $125.0 million and $300.0 million, respectively, to repurchase shares of our Class C Common Stock through accelerated share repurchase programs. For more details, see discussion above under "Share Repurchase Program".

Capital 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, May 2021 and December 2021, we entered into the first, second and third amendments to the credit agreement, respectively (the credit agreement as amended and the "amended credit agreement" or the "revolving credit facility"). The amended credit agreement provides for revolving credit commitments of $1.1 billion and has a term that ends on December 3, 2026, with permitted extensions under certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

38

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2023, there was $4.4 million of letters of credit outstanding (March 31, 2022: $4.5 million).

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. The amended credit agreement 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 March 31, 2023, 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.

The amended credit agreement implements SOFR as the replacement of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate for the U.S. dollar borrowings (and analogous benchmark rate replacements for borrowings in Yen, Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling and Euro). 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. As of March 31, 2023, the commitment fee was 17.5 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 fixed 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.

39

Table of Contents

During Fiscal 2021, we entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of the Convertible Senior Notes, who agreed to exchange approximately $419.1 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 "Exchanges"). In connection with the Exchanges, we paid approximately $507.0 million cash and issued approximately 18.8 million shares of the Company's Class C Common Stock to the exchanging holders. Additionally, we recognized losses on debt extinguishment of $58.5 million during Fiscal 2021, within Other Income (Expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Following the Exchanges, approximately $80.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

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.

Beginning on 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.

During Fiscal 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 $91.7 million in connection with such termination agreements related to the Exchanges.

The Convertible Senior Notes contain a cash conversion feature. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 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"), we had separated it into liability and equity components. We 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 was 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.

We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. As a result, the Convertible Senior Notes are no longer accounted for as separate liability and equity components, but rather a single liability. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of our Transition Report on Form 10-QT for the three months ended March 31, 2022 for more details.

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 "Senior Notes"). The proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, at the time. The Senior Notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 3.250% per annum, 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 Senior 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 exceptions described in the indenture.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with 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. 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. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 606 ("ASC 606"). 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.

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 Sheets. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $160.5 million and $159.6 million, respectively, in reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts within customer refund liability and $40.7 million and $44.3 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 Sheets.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We make ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the reserve, we consider historical levels of credit losses and significant economic developments within the retail environment that could impact the ability of our customers to pay outstanding balances and make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. Because we cannot predict future changes in the financial stability of our customers, actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from estimates. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger reserve might be required. In the event we determine a smaller or larger reserve is appropriate, we would record a benefit or charge to selling, general and administrative expense in the period in which such a determination was made. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $10.8 million and $7.1 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022, the inventory reserve was $34.8 million and $26.8 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 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.

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. We have made the policy election to record any liability associated with Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) in the period in which it is 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 as of March 31, 2023, we have considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, including but not limited to the following:

Positive

•Current year pre-tax earnings including positive financial taxable income in the U.S. federal jurisdiction.

•Prior three-year cumulative positive financial taxable income in the U.S. federal jurisdiction.

•Forecasted future positive financial taxable income in the U.S.

•No material definite lived tax attributes (excluding capital loss) subject to expiration in the near short term.

•No history of U.S. federal and material state tax attributes expiring unused.

•Available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

Negative

•Prior three-year cumulative financial taxable loss in the U.S. state jurisdictions.

•Inherent challenges in forecasting sufficient future U.S. state pre-tax earnings to overcome existing cumulative losses in prior years.

•Existing definite life state attributes related to credits and net operating losses.

As of March 31, 2023, we believe that the weight of the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence regarding the realization of our U.S. federal deferred tax assets, resulting in the release of the corresponding valuation allowances in the fourth quarter of the Fiscal 2023. The release of U.S. federal valuation allowance (excluding capital losses) resulted in a material benefit to income tax expense and net income in the period. As of March 31, 2023, for U.S. states, we believe the weight of the negative evidence continues to outweigh the positive evidence regarding the realization of the state deferred tax assets and have maintained a valuation allowance against these assets. Our current forecast for the U.S. indicates that there is a possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to reach a conclusion that a portion of the U.S state valuation allowance will no longer be required. The actualization of these forecasted results may result in a reversal of a portion of previously recorded U.S state 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. The timing and amount are subject to change based on the actual profitability that we are able to actually achieve in the United States.

As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We will continue to evaluate our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

Stock-Based Compensation

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.
