Baltimore, MD (January 30, 2014) - Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013. Net revenues increased 35% in the fourth quarter of 2013 to $683 million compared with net revenues of $506 million in the prior year's period. Net income increased 28% in the fourth quarter of 2013 to $64 million compared with $50 million in the prior year's period. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2013 increased 27% to $0.59 compared with $0.47 in the prior year's period.
Fourth quarter apparel net revenues increased 35% to $546 million compared with $405 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by expanded Fleece offerings and new ColdGear Infrared products. Fourth quarter footwear net revenues increased 24% to $55 million from $45 million in the prior year's period, led by gains in running. Fourth quarter accessories net revenues increased 52% to $65 million from $43 million in the prior year's period, primarily driven by headwear and gloves. Direct-to-Consumer net revenues, which represented 39% of total net revenues for the fourth quarter, grew 36% year-over-year.
Kevin Plank, Chairman and CEO of Under Armour, Inc., stated, "By any measure, 2013 was a banner year for the UA Brand. We surpassed $2 billion in net revenues for the year, which culminated with our 15th straight quarter of at least 20% total growth. In addition, we completed our first acquisition, MapMyFitness, opened our first two UA Brand House retail stores, and continued to make key investments in our Women's, Footwear and International businesses to drive long-term global growth. While we are proud of what we have accomplished to date, we firmly believe we are just getting started and that our performance in 2013 is indicative of the opportunity that lies ahead for Under Armour."
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 51.3% compared with 50.3% in the prior year's quarter, primarily driven by the strength of the Brand contributing to a favorable sales mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 36.9% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with 34.2% in the prior year's period, primarily reflecting higher incentive compensation costs. Fourth quarter operating income increased to $98 million compared with $82 million in the prior year's period.
Review of Full Year Operating Results
For the full year 2013, net revenues increased 27% to $2.33 billion compared with $1.83 billion in the prior year and compared with the Company’s prior outlook of $2.26 billion. Diluted earnings per share for 2013 increased 24% to $1.50 compared with $1.21 per share in the prior year.
Apparel net revenues increased 27% to $1.76 billion compared with $1.39 billion in the prior year, led by elevated newness across product categories like HeatGear and Fleece as well as innovation platforms including Storm, ColdGear Infrared and Charged Cotton. Footwear net revenues increased 25% to $299 million during 2013 compared to $239 million in 2012, reflecting expanded offerings in both the running and cleated businesses. Accessories net revenues increased 30% to $216 million during 2013 compared to $166 million in 2012, primarily driven by headwear and gloves. Direct-to-Consumer net revenues, which represented 30% of total net revenues for the year compared to 29% in 2012, grew 33% over the prior year.
Gross margin for 2013 was 48.7% compared with 47.9% in 2012, primarily driven by favorable sales mix and lower year-over-year North American apparel and accessories product costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 37.3% for 2013 compared with 36.5% for 2012, primarily reflecting higher incentive compensation costs, partially offset by the leveraging of marketing expenses. Operating income grew 27% to $265 million in 2013 compared with $209 million in the prior year and compared with the Company’s prior outlook of $260 million.
