Under Armour, Inc. Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Under Armour, Inc. on May 17, 2021. The filing details the entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, specifically Amendment No. 2 to the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 8, 2019.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The filing focuses on debt covenants and interest rate structures rather than operational financial results. Key metrics defined in the amended agreement include:
- Interest Coverage Covenant: The Company must maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.50 to 1.0.
- Leverage Covenant: The ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA must not exceed 3.25 to 1.0.
- Compliance Status: As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these ratios.
- Interest Rate Margins: Applicable margins for loans are adjusted based on a pricing grid tied to the leverage ratio, ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% for floating rate loans and 0.25% to 0.75% for alternate base rate loans.
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, or total debt outstanding.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Second Amendment introduces significant changes from the First Amendment (dated May 12, 2020):
- Removal of Covenant Suspension: The "Covenant Suspension Period" previously in effect was removed effective March 31, 2021, reinstating standard compliance requirements for the Interest Coverage and Leverage Covenants.
- Elimination of Liquidity Covenant: The requirement to maintain a specified amount of minimum liquidity during the suspension period has been removed.
- Reduced Costs: The amendment decreases interest rate margins and commitment fees payable by the Company.
- Restored Flexibility: Limitations on expanding or extending the maturity of the revolving credit facility, as well as restrictions on exceptions to negative covenants (including restricted payments), have been reversed.
- LIBOR Transition: Mechanics were added to facilitate the transition away from LIBOR to a replacement alternative benchmark rate.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management commentary is limited to the execution of the amendment to improve financial flexibility and reduce borrowing costs. The filing notes that the credit agreement remains primarily secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors, with customary exceptions for real property and certain subsidiary capital stock. No specific forward-looking guidance on revenue or earnings is provided in this document.
Key Facts for Investor Verification

- Confirm the actual reduction in interest expense resulting from the decreased margins and commitment fees.
- Monitor the Company's progress in transitioning loan benchmarks from LIBOR to alternative rates as outlined in the amendment.
