Over the last 10 years, from 2006-2016, revenue grew at a 27% annual rate. In 2016 sales slowed to 22%, with North America up 16% and international growing 63%. In the 4th quarter sales were negatively impacted by the Sports Authority bankruptcy, resulting in excess inventory and steep discounting. Current consensus estimates expected North America sales to be flat in 2017 and international to grow 50%, providing 9% overall growth. Among the top three sports brand companies, Under Armour has grown its market share from 1% in 2005 to 8% in 2016. As a group, revenues have grown at an 8% CAGR over the last 10 years and are expected to grow at an 8% rate over the next five years. Gross margins for the company are in line with those of its competitors. According to analysts, Under Armour will double its current profit margin as it matures, achieves greater scale, and benefits from a lower tax-rate due to larger international profits.

Their principal executive and administrative offices are located at an office complex in Baltimore, Maryland, which includes 400 thousand square feet of office space that they own and 126 thousand square feet that they are leasing. The majority of their sales are generated through wholesale channels, which include national and regional sporting goods chains, independent and specialty retailers, department store chains, institutional athletic departments and leagues and teams.
