Claim deadlineUnder Armour (UA and UAA) has agreed to settle for $434M with investors to resolve claims that it misled them about revenue growth and business prospects.
Outline:
In 2017, Under Armour claimed it could maintain over 20% revenue increases. However, these claims were later questioned following weaker-than-expected earnings reports and executive resignations. Following this, $UA and $UAA dropped and Under Armour faced a lawsuit from investors.
Timeline:
- On April 21, 2016: Under Armour released its Q1 2016 earnings, highlighting robust revenue growth and projecting strong future sales.
- On January 31, 2017: Under Armour announced weaker-than-expected Q4 earnings and the unexpected resignation of its CFO.
- On the same day, its stock price dropped 26%.
- On February 3, 2017: Shareholders filed a suit against Under Armour.
Background:
On April 21, 2016, Under Armour announced strong earnings for the Q1, making it the 26th quarter in a row with over 20% revenue growth.
The company said it expected to keep growing in 2016 despite internal challenges like excess inventory and the bankruptcy of a major retailer, The Sports Authority.
By January 31, 2017, the truth came out when Under Armour announced weaker-than-expected earnings for Q4 2016 and the resignation of CFO Lawrence Molloy.
This news caused the stock price to drop 26% on January 31, 2017.
On February 10, 2017, a shareholder sued the company, claiming it had misled investors about its financial health and business prospects.
