Q1 fall for Under Armour in spite of footwear growth
Sports group Under Armour has reported revenues of a little over $1.3 billion for the first quarter of its current financial year, the three months to June 30. This figure represents a fall of 2.4% year on year.
Its revenues from apparel sales were down 5%, reaching almost $825 million for the quarter. However, revenues from footwear were up by 4.7% and reached just under $365 million.
Revenues from sales in North America fell by 9.1% to $826.6 million, while in Europe revenues were up by more than 10% to reach $226.6 million.
Chief executive, Stephanie Linnartz, said the consumer retail environment in North America was challenging but that she was confident Under Armour would achieve “improved growth and profitability”.
