Q218 Snap - Moving in the right direction

Under Armour reported adj Q218 EPS of ($0.08) in line with expectations on higher revenues but lower gross margin. While the lower gross margin took some of the earnings upside away, we are seeing good progress on the realignment of inventory levels. Similarly, the company is raising FY18 guidance on revenues and lowering on gross margin, with EPS guidance remaining the same. We see good execution on the turnaround efforts, and with cleaner inventories, would expect to see a better 2H.
