Echoing comparable results from its fiscal second quarter, Under Armour Inc. reported 2% growth in ecommerce revenue during its fiscal 2024 third quarter, which ended Dec. 31, 2023.

Under Armour ecommerce represented 45% of total direct-to-consumer revenue in the quarter, the company announced Feb. 8. As a whole, Under Armour DTC sales increased 4% to $741 million. Part of that increase came from 5% growth of in-store revenue.

Meanwhile, Under Armour wholesale revenue decreased 13% to $712 million.

Total third-quarter Under Armour revenue decreased 6% to $1.5 billion, in line with the company’s outlook. Operating income was $70 million, and net income was $114 million. Meanwhile, Under Armour inventory decreased 9% to $1.1 billion.

Under Armour is No. 97 in the Top 1000. The Digital Commerce 360 database ranks North America’s leading online retailers by their web sales.

Under Armour ecommerce sales

President and CEO Stephanie Linnartz said in a call with investors that the retailer is working to improve mobile speed, search algorithms and product description pages, among other functionality fixes. She said the retailer’s ecommerce division has done “great work” to improve conversion and have a more functional website and Shop App.

“We need for ua.com and our Shop App to be the most premium expression of our company,” Linnartz said. “It’s our largest storefront when you think about it. So we are going to reduce our dependency on promotions.”

That could reduce the brand’s revenue, she added, saying it will drive profitability.

“Simply put, ua.com will become a showcase for our brand,” Linnartz said.

In North America, Under Armour revenue declined 12% year over year to $915 million in Q3. Under Armour revenue in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) grew 7% to $284 million. Asia-Pacific revenue grew as well, up 7% to $212 million. In Latin America, Under Armour revenue grew 9% to $70 million.

UA Rewards program continues to grow

Nearly 3 million members have enrolled in Under Armour’s loyalty program, UA Rewards, “which is well ahead of the target” for fiscal 2024, Linnartz said.

Members have purchased premium products more frequently than non-members program’s first few months, she said.
