Background on the Under Armour Securities Class Litigation

Under Armour, based in Baltimore, Maryland, develops, markets, and distributes branded performance apparel, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and youth.

The action alleges that during the Class Period, Under Armour made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Under Armour improperly shifted sales from quarter to quarter to keep pace with their long-running year-over-year 20% net revenue growth; (ii) the Company had been subject to federal accounting probes since at least July 2017; and (iii) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On November 3, 2019, The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are investigating whether Under Armour shifted sales from quarter to quarter to appear healthier. On the following day, Under Armour confirmed that it was under DOJ and SEC investigations and has been responding to requests for documents and information regarding certain of its accounting practices and related disclosures, beginning with submissions to the SEC in July 2017. Following this news, the price of Under Armour Class A common stock fell $4.00 per share, or nearly 18.9%, to close at $17.14 per share, and its Class C common stock fell $3.47 per share, or 18.3%, to close at $15.44 per share.
