1. Offprice clearance is an ill-fitting band-aid: UAA enters 2018 with a heavy excess

inventory position of ~$121M in North America. We estimate this inventory will
2018E 1,119 1,132 1,439 1,392 translate into 5m units for sale at discounted prices that we fear will disrupt the pricing
2019E 1,166 1,148 1,492 1,444 architecture in fall ‘18. We have two clear examples from the fall '15 when both VFC (via
North Face) and DECK (via UGG) used the offprice channel to clear excess inventory,
Quarterly EPS  Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 helping near-term results but hurting full-price sell-through in fall of ‘16. This decision
2017A (0.01) (0.03) 0.22 (0.00) by both DECK and VFC created a vicious inventory cycle dependent on the offprice
2018E (0.05) (0.06) 0.25 (0.00) channel. VFC and DECK broke that dependence last year (at the expense of near-
2019E (0.04) (0.06) 0.27 0.00 term sales growth) and were rewarded with a healthier channel and greater full-price
26 sales in fall '17. To us, this is the clearest example of UAA’s impending 2H gross margin
24 risk (guidance implies +150bps). With a flood of clearance inventory entering the
22
market (by our math ~12% of expected 2H NA units available for sale) and little product
differentiation between it and full-price product, we suspect UAA's retail partners like
20
KSS/DKS will suffer disproportionately as the need to convert sales accelerates the
18 promotional cadence.

2. Without meaningful innovation, long-term NA growth will be LSD at best: Until UAA
14 segments its channels appropriately, and innovates with sufficient volume, we see long-
12 run NA growth rates returning to just low single digits. First, the continued consolidation
10
of the sporting goods channel and general slowing of new door openings is likely to cap
UAA’s growth for the foreseeable 2-3 years. DKS’ steady-state comp growth has been

reduce its SKU count by 30-40% by 2019. While this move is long overdue, we question
how much sales volume is being lost. In a base-case scenario, we assume that lost sales
could represent 10-20% of revenue. With that in mind, the next important question is:
what fills the void? In our view, there are not enough new markets or channels in NA for
UAA to pursue, thus leaving innovation – which has been slow to materialize – as the
lone driver of accelerated growth. As such, this SKU rationalization is merely a re-sizing
the business at a lower level, which augurs for muted growth thereafter.

4. Consumer poll shows UAA brand waning in a key growth driver – footwear: We have
been conducting periodic polls of consumers asking a simple question – what's your
favorite athletic/lifestyle footwear brand? In December, we asked over 6,000
consumers this question to which 48% said NKE and 16% said UAA. For our March
poll, our universe expanded to over 11,000 consumers. Surprisingly, UAA dropped
precipitously to 7% from 16% while NKE inched 1% higher to 49%. This is particularly
disconcerting because footwear (along with international) is a key growth driver.
What’s more, UAA’s drop in popularity was equally pronounced among both men and
women (see Figure 1 on the next page).
5. The beast has awakened: NKE appears to be resurging (or at least accelerating the
innovation) and the strength of Adidas can't be ignored. NKE’s new “triple double”
directive is undoubtedly taking shape. Specifically, we see signs that its product
pipeline is gaining traction, which would not be good for UAA. Moreover, Adidas has
become a more formidable competitor in recent years as evidenced by its 29% growth
in NA in Q4. The competitive pressures facing UAA at a time when its product is most
susceptible to share losses will be difficult to combat without innovative product and
marketing capital.

Short-Term Trade Ideas
Research Analysts may, from time to time, discuss “short-term trade ideas” in research reports. A short-term trade idea offers a near-
term view on how a security may trade, based on market and trading events or catalysts, and the resulting trading opportunity that may
be available. Any such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analysts' fundamental equity rating for such stocks. A
short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports that reflect the research

analyst's views of the longer-term (i.e. one-year or greater) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons,
methodologies and/or other factors. It is possible, for example, that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-
term ‘Hold' or 'Sell' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure in the market or for other
reasons described in the research report; conversely, a subject company's stock rated a long-term 'Buy' or “Speculative Buy’ could be
considered susceptible to a downward price correction, or other factors may exist that lead the research analyst to suggest a sale over
the short-term. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and the firm does not intend, and does not
undertake any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade ideas are not suitable for all investors and are
not tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and investors should make their own independent decisions regarding
any securities or strategies discussed herein. Please contact your salesperson for more information regarding Canaccord Genuity’s
research.
