What Under Armour, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
Almost everything Under Armour flagged traces to its concentrated, outsourced Asian supply chain — and the tariffs landing on it. It makes virtually nothing itself: about 65% of apparel and accessories come from Jordan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia, substantially all footwear from Vietnam and Indonesia, with ten contract manufacturers producing roughly 69% of apparel and seven making nearly all its footwear, and its top five fabric suppliers (in Taiwan, China, Malaysia and Vietnam) providing about 43% of its apparel fabric — all without long-term contracts. That concentration is exactly where tariffs bit: rising import duties contributed 155 basis points of a roughly 240-basis-point gross-margin decline (to 45.5%) in fiscal 2026 and helped push North America operating income down 29.7%.
