products via licensing. The multiple distribution networks help the company to expand its market
presence.
3. Strong growth over the years:
Under Armour has reported strong growth and impressive investor
returns over the past few years. Its revenues have increased more than twice from $2.3 billion to
$4.8 billion in just a span of 3 years. To continue the growth, Under Armour is planning to
restructure the company around category management to streamline the operations. This
integrated global model will lead to shared accountability between categories, regions and
functions. Although the revenue for FY17 is expected to decline in wake of increasing competition
and shift in retail, the company is expected to perform strongly in FY18 as it diversifies its presence
in newer markets.
Weakness
1. Limited geographic diversification:
About 83% of the revenue comes from North America region,
hence there is need to expand in other parts of the world to reduce over-dependence on North
America region. Under Armour has limited experience in markets outside North America because
they have not expanded much since the inception of the company in 1996.
