Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of the Business
Under Armour, Inc. is a developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear, and accessories. The Company creates products engineered to solve problems and make athletes better, as well as digital health and fitness apps built to connect people and drive performance. The Company's products are made, sold and worn worldwide.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Under Armour, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements was condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations were included. Intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 is derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), which should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other portions thereof.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company's restricted cash is reserved for payments related to claims for its captive insurance program, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the unaudited consolidated balance sheets to the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 288,726 | $ | 557,403 | $ | 283,644 | |||||||||||

Total Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 298,156 | $ | 566,060 | $ | 290,185 |
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from large retailers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition. None of the Company's customers accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. One of the Company's customers accounted for 11% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues.
Sale of Accounts Receivable
In 2018, the Company entered into agreements with two financial institutions to sell selected accounts receivable on a recurring, non-recourse basis. Under each agreement, the Company may sell up to $150.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively, provided the accounts receivable of certain customers cannot be outstanding simultaneously with both institutions. Balances may remain outstanding at any point in time. The Company removes the sold accounts receivable from the unaudited consolidated balance sheets at the time of sale. The Company does not retain any interests in the sold accounts receivable. The Company acts as the collection agent for the outstanding accounts receivable on behalf of the financial institutions.
6
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2018, there was $55.6 million outstanding. The funding fee charged by the financial institutions is included in the other income (expense), net line item in the consolidated statement of operations.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
As of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $21.0 million, $22.2 million and $19.8 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 606 ("ASC 606"). Net revenues consist of net sales and license and Connected Fitness revenue. Net sales are recognized upon transfer of control, including passage of title to the customer and transfer of risk of loss related to those goods. Payment is due in full when title is transferred. Transfer of title and risk of loss is based upon shipment under free on board shipping point for most goods or upon receipt by the customer depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. In some instances, transfer of title and risk of loss takes place at the point of sale, for example, at the Company’s brand and factory house stores. The Company may also ship product directly from its supplier to the customer and recognize revenue when the product is delivered to and accepted by the customer. License revenue is primarily recognized based upon shipment of licensed products sold by the Company's licensees. Sales taxes imposed on the Company’s revenues from product sales are presented on a net basis on the consolidated statements of income, and therefore do not impact net revenues or costs of goods sold.
The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances, as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns, markdowns and allowances that have not yet been received by the Company. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to net sales in the period in which it makes such a determination. Provisions for customer specific discounts are based on contractual obligations with certain major customers. Reserves for returns, allowances, markdowns and discounts are included within customer refund liability and the value of inventory associated with reserves for sales returns are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities are recorded when a customer pays consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the transfer of a good or service to the customer, and thus represent the Company's obligation to transfer the good or service to the customer at a future date. The Company's contract liabilities consist of payments received in advance of revenue recognition for subscriptions for the Company's Connected Fitness applications and royalty arrangements, included in other current liabilities, and gift cards, included in accrued expenses on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018, contract liabilities was $55.6 million, $55.0 million and $25.7 million, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $19.2 million of revenue that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $9.6 million of revenue that was previously included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The change in the contract liabilities balance primarily results from the timing differences between the Company's satisfaction of performance obligations and the customer's payment. Commissions related to subscription revenue are capitalized and recognized over the subscription period.
Practical Expedients and Policy Elections
The Company has made a policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost rather than an additional promised service. Additionally, the Company has elected not to disclose certain information related to unsatisfied performance obligations for subscriptions for its Connected Fitness applications as they have an original expected length of one year or less.
7
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company charges certain customers shipping and handling fees. These fees are recorded in net revenues. The Company incurs freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers. These costs are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.
The Company also incurs outbound handling costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate the Company’s distribution facilities. These costs are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and were $21.7 million and $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Equity Method Investment
On April 23, 2018, the Company invested ¥4.2 billion or $39.2 million in exchange for an additional 10% common stock ownership in Dome Corporation ("Dome"), the Company's Japanese licensee. This additional investment brings the Company's total investment in Dome's common stock to 29.5%, from 19.5%. The Company accounts for its investment in Dome under the equity method, given it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Dome.
As of March 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s total investment in Dome was $53.1 million. The Company's proportionate share of Dome's net assets exceeded its total investment by $63.8 million and is not amortized. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded the allocable share of Dome’s net income in its consolidated statements of operations and as an adjustment to the invested balance.
In addition to the investment in Dome, the Company has a license agreement with Dome. The Company recorded license revenues from Dome of $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has $6.5 million in licensing receivables outstanding, recorded in the prepaid expenses and other current assets line item within the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses. The new standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including receivables that result from revenue transactions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, an update that amends and simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting rules to increase transparency of the impact of risk management activities in the financial statements. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. There was no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the existing guidance for leases and will require recognition of operating leases with lease terms of more than twelve months and all financing leases on the balance sheet. For these leases, companies will record assets for the rights and liabilities for the obligations that are created by the leases. This ASU will require disclosures that provide qualitative and quantitative information for the lease assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements. The Company adopted this ASU and related amendments on January 1, 2019, and has elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. The Company elected the optional transition method that allows for a
8
cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and did not restate prior periods. As permitted, the Company did not reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any existing leases, initial direct costs for any existing leases and whether existing land easements and rights of way, which were not previously accounted for as leases, are leases. The Company implemented a new lease systems in connection with the adoption of this ASU. The Company recognized operating lease right-of-use assets of $591 million and operating lease liabilities of $702 million on the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019. The difference between the operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities primarily represents the existing deferred rent and tenant improvement allowance liabilities balance, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, which were effectively reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurement of the leased assets. There was no material impact to the consolidated statements of operations and no cumulative earnings effect adjustment upon adoption.
3. Restructuring and Impairment
As previously announced, in both 2017 and 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved restructuring plans (the "2017 restructuring plan" and the "2018 restructuring plan") designed to more closely align its financial resources with the critical priorities of the business and optimize operations. All restructuring charges under the plans were incurred by December 31, 2018.
The summary of the costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 in connection with the 2018 restructuring plan is as follows:

(1) Certain restructuring reserves have been reclassified to operating lease liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02.
4. Leases
The Company leases warehouse space, office facilities, space for its brand and factory house stores and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases expire at various dates through 2035, excluding extensions at the Company's option, and include provisions for rental adjustments.
9
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are established on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for leases with an expected term greater than one year. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included in selling, general and administrative was operating lease costs of $37.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements.
Variable lease payments primarily consist of payments dependent on sales in brand and factory house stores. Short-term and variable lease payments are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses and are not material. There are no residual value guarantees that exist and there are no restrictions or covenants imposed by leases. The Company rents or subleases excess office facilities and warehouse space to third parties. Sublease income is not material.

5. Long Term Debt
Credit Facility
On March 8, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent and the other lenders and arrangers party thereto (the "credit agreement"), amending and restating the Company's prior credit agreement. The credit agreement has a term of five years, maturing in March 2024, with permitted extensions under certain circumstances, and provides revolving credit commitments of up to $1.25 billion of borrowings, but no term loan borrowings, which were provided for under the prior credit agreement. As of March 31, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $136.3 million of term loan borrowings outstanding. In January 2019, the Company prepaid the outstanding balance of $136.3 million on its term loans, without penalty.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility have maturities of less than one year. Up to $50.0 million of the facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. There were $4.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2019.
The credit agreement contains negative covenants that limit the Company's ability to engage in certain transactions, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to comply with specific consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these ratios. In addition, the credit agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, and includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other material indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate, or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made (“adjusted LIBOR”), plus in each case an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the consolidated leverage ratio and ranges between 1.00% to 1.25% for adjusted LIBOR loans and 0.00% to 0.25% for alternate base rate loans. The weighted average interest rate under the revolving credit facility borrowings were 3.6% and 2.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average interest rate under the outstanding term loan was 2.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company pays a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and certain fees with respect to letters of credit. As of March 31, 2019, the commitment fee was 15.0 basis points. The Company incurred and deferred $3.5 million in financing costs in connection with the credit agreement.
3.250% Senior Notes
In June 2016, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2026 (the “Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning December 15, 2016. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time, or from time to time, at redemption prices described in the indenture governing the Notes. The indenture governing the Notes contains negative covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in certain transactions and are subject to material exceptions described in the indenture. The Company incurred and deferred $5.3 million in financing costs in connection with the Notes.
11
Other Long Term Debt
In December 2012, the Company entered into a $50.0 million recourse loan collateralized by the land, buildings and tenant improvements comprising the Company's corporate headquarters. In July 2018, this loan was paid in full, without penalties, using borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance on the loan was $39.5 million.
Interest expense, net, was $4.2 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, bank fees, capital and built-to-suit lease interest and interest expense under the credit and other long term debt facilities.
The Company monitors the financial health and stability of its lenders under the credit and other long term debt facilities, however during any period of significant instability in the credit markets, lenders could be negatively impacted in their ability to perform under these facilities.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
There were no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in the 2018 Form 10-K other than those which occur in the normal course of business.
In connection with various contracts and agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify counterparties against certain third party claims relating to the infringement of intellectual property rights and other items. Generally, such indemnification obligations do not apply in situations in which the counterparties are grossly negligent, engage in willful misconduct, or act in bad faith. Based on the Company’s historical experience and the estimated probability of future loss, the Company has determined that the fair value of such indemnifications is not material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and other proceedings, including matters related to commercial and intellectual property disputes, as well as trade, regulatory and other claims related to its business. Other than as described below, the Company believes that all current proceedings are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of its business, and that the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Securities Class Action
On March 23, 2017, three separate securities cases previously filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “Court”) were consolidated under the caption In re Under Armour Securities Litigation, Case No. 17-cv-00388-RDB (the “Consolidated Action”). On August 4, 2017, the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated Action, North East Scotland Pension Fund, joined by named plaintiff Bucks County Employees Retirement Fund, filed a consolidated amended complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) against the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officers, Lawrence Molloy and Brad Dickerson. The Amended Complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 20(a) control person liability under the Exchange Act against the officers named in the Amended Complaint, claiming that the defendants made material misstatements and omissions regarding, among other things, the Company's growth and consumer demand for certain of the Company's products. The class period identified in the Amended Complaint is September 16, 2015 through January 30, 2017. The Amended Complaint also asserts claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the Company’s public offering of senior unsecured notes in June 2016. The Securities Act claims are asserted against the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Molloy, the Company’s directors who signed the registration statement pursuant to which the offering was made and the underwriters that participated in the offering. The Amended Complaint alleges that the offering materials utilized in connection with the offering contained false and/or misleading statements and omissions regarding, among other things, the Company’s growth and consumer demand for certain of the Company’s products.
On November 9, 2017, the Company and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the Amended Complaint. On September 19, 2018, the Court dismissed the Securities Act claims with prejudice and the Exchange Act claims without prejudice. The lead plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on November 16, 2018, naming the Company and Mr. Plank as the remaining defendants. The Company and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss on January 17, 2019, which is still pending with the Court. The Company continues to believe that the claims previously asserted in the Consolidated Action are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. However, because of the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of this proceeding, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible impact of the outcome of this matter.
12
Derivative Complaints
In April 2018, two purported stockholders filed separate stockholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. These were brought against Kevin Plank (the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) and certain other members of the Company’s Board of Directors and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaints make allegations related to the Company’s purchase of certain parcels of land from entities controlled by Mr. Plank (through Sagamore Development Company, LLC ("Sagamore")), as well as other related party transactions.
Sagamore purchased these parcels in 2014. Its total investment in the parcels was approximately $72.0 million, which included the initial $35.0 million purchase price for the property, an additional $30.6 million to terminate a lease encumbering the property and approximately $6.4 million of development costs. As previously disclosed, in June 2016, the Company purchased the unencumbered parcels for $70.3 million in order to further expand the Company’s corporate headquarters to accommodate its growth needs. The Company negotiated a purchase price for the parcels that it determined represented the fair market value of the parcels and approximated the cost to the seller to purchase and develop the parcels. In connection with its evaluation of the potential purchase, the Company engaged an independent third-party to appraise the fair market value of the parcels, and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors engaged its own independent appraisal firm to assess the parcels. The Audit Committee determined that the terms of the purchase were reasonable and fair, and the transaction was approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the Company’s policy on transactions with related persons.
On March 20, 2019, these cases were consolidated under the caption In re Under Armour, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation and a lead plaintiff in the consolidated action was appointed by the court. On May 1, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated derivative complaint asserting that Mr. Plank and the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the purchase of the parcels and other related party transactions and that Sagamore aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by the other defendants in connection with Sagamore’s alleged role in the sale of the parcels to the Company. The consolidated complaint also asserts an unjust enrichment claim against Mr. Plank and Sagamore. It seeks damages on behalf of the Company and certain corporate governance related actions.
In June and July 2018, three additional purported stockholder derivative complaints were filed. Two of the complaints were filed in Maryland state court (in cases captioned Kenney v. Plank, et al. (filed June 29, 2018) and Luger v. Plank, et al. (filed July 26, 2018), respectively). The other complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (in a case captioned Andersen v. Plank et al. (filed July 23, 2018)). These complaints name Mr. Plank, certain other members of the Company's Board of Directors and former executives as defendants and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaints include allegations similar to those in the In re Under Armour Securities Litigation matter discussed above that challenges, among other things, the Company’s disclosures related to growth and consumer demand for certain of the Company's products and stock sales by certain individual defendants. All three complaints assert breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims against the individual defendants. The Kenney complaint also makes allegations similar to those in the King and Mioduszewski complaints discussed above regarding the Company’s purchase of parcels from entities controlled by Mr. Plank through Sagamore and asserts a claim of corporate waste against the individual defendants. These complaints assert similar damages to the damages sought in the Mioduszewski complaint. In each of the Kenney, Luger and Andersen matters, the parties have filed joint motions to stay the litigation pending resolution of the motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in the In re Under Armour Securities Litigation matter.
Prior to the filing of the derivative complaints discussed above, each of the purported stockholders had sent the Company a letter demanding that the Company pursue claims similar to the claims asserted in the derivative complaints. Following an investigation, a majority of disinterested and independent directors of the Company determined that the claims should not be pursued by the Company and informed each of these purported stockholders of that determination. The Company believes that the claims asserted in the derivative complaints are without merit and intends to defend these matters vigorously. However, because of the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of these proceedings, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible impact of the outcome of these matters.
Data Incident
In 2018, an unauthorized third party acquired data associated with the Company’s Connected Fitness users’ accounts for the Company’s MyFitnessPal application and website. A consumer class action lawsuit has been filed against the Company in connection with this incident, and the Company has received inquiries regarding the incident from certain government regulators and agencies. The Company does not currently consider these matters to be material and believes its insurance coverage will provide coverage should any significant expense arise.

7. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value accounting guidance outlines a valuation framework, creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures, and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; | ||||
Level 2: | Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | ||||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Financial assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis are set forth in the table below:
March 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | March 31, 2018 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Deferred Compensation Plan obligations | — | (9,598) | — | — | (6,958) | — | — | (8,123) | — |
Fair values of the financial assets and liabilities listed above are determined using inputs that use as their basis readily observable market data that are actively quoted and are validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services and brokers. The foreign currency contracts represent gains and losses on derivative contracts, which is the net difference between the U.S. dollar value to be received or paid at the contracts’ settlement date and the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold or purchased at the current market exchange rate. The interest rate swap contracts represent gains and losses on the derivative contracts, which is the net difference between the fixed interest to be paid and variable interest to be received over the term of the contract based on current market rates. The fair value of the trust owned life insurance (“TOLI”) policies held by the Rabbi Trust is based on the cash-surrender value of the life insurance policies, which are invested primarily in mutual funds and a separately managed fixed income fund. These investments are initially made in the same funds and purchased in substantially the same amounts as the selected investments of participants in the Under Armour, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which represent the underlying liabilities to participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Liabilities under the Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investments.
As of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company's Senior Notes was $548.2 million, $500.1 million and $532.2 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company's other long term debt approximated its fair value as of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (Level 2).
Some assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. These assets can include long-lived assets and goodwill that have been reduced to fair value when impaired. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.

8. Stock Based Compensation
Performance Based Equity Compensation
The Company grants a combination of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units and stock options as part of its incentive compensation. Certain senior executives are eligible to receive performance-based awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, 0.6 million performance-based restricted stock units and 0.2 million performance-based stock options for shares of the Company's Class C common stock were awarded under the Company's Second Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended. The performance-based restricted stock units and stock options have weighted average grant date fair values of $19.39 and $8.70, respectively, and have vesting conditions tied to the achievement of revenue and operating income targets for 2019 and 2020. Upon the achievement of the targets, one third of the restricted stock units and stock options will vest each in February 2021, 2022 and 2023. If certain lower levels of combined annual revenue and operating income for 2019 and 2020 are achieved, fewer or no restricted stock units or stock options will vest and the remaining restricted stock units and stock options will be forfeited. The Company deemed the achievement of certain revenue and operating income targets for 2019 and 2020 probable during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company assesses the probability of the achievement of the remaining revenue and operating income targets at the end of each reporting period. If it becomes probable that any remaining performance targets related to these performance-based restricted stock units and options will be achieved, a cumulative adjustment will be recorded as if ratable stock-based compensation expense had been recorded since the grant date. Additional stock based compensation of up to $0.6 million would have been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019, for these performance-based restricted stock units and stock options had the achievement of the remaining revenue and operating income targets been deemed probable.
9. Risk Management and Derivatives
The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business and does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to either recognized assets, liabilities, or forecasted transactions and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.
The Company's foreign exchange risk management program consists of cash flow hedges and undesignated hedge instruments. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has hedge instruments, primarily for U.S. Dollar/Chinese Renminbi, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, British Pound/U.S. Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso, Euro/U.S. Dollar, and U.S. Dollar/Hong Kong Dollar currency pairs. All derivatives are recognized on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets at fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date.
The following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments designated as hedges within the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7 for a discussion of the fair value measurements.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by its international subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are driven by non-functional currency generated revenue, non-functional currency inventory purchases, investments in U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale debt securities, and certain other intercompany transactions. The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to reduce the risk associated with the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on these transactions. Certain contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2019, the aggregate notional value of the Company's outstanding cash flow hedges was $507.6 million, with contract maturities ranging from to eighteen months.
16
The Company may enter into long term debt arrangements with various lenders which bear a range of fixed and variable rates of interest. The nature and amount of the Company's long term debt can be expected to vary as a result of future business requirements, market conditions and other factors. The Company may elect to enter into interest rate swap contracts to reduce the impact associated with interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 5 for a discussion of long term debt. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts.
For foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value, excluding any ineffective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income until net income is affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged transaction. The effective portion is generally released to net income after the maturity of the related derivative and is classified in the same manner as the underlying exposure.
Undesignated Derivative Instruments
The Company may elect to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in other expense, net, together with the re-measurement gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position. As of March 31, 2019, the total notional value of the Company's outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $497.4 million.
Credit Risk
The Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the derivative contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
10. Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective rates for income taxes were 26.8% and 11.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to pre-tax losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the impact of discrete items as a percentage of the pre-tax results in each period.
Valuation Allowance
The Company evaluates on a quarterly basis whether the deferred tax assets are realizable which requires significant judgment. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating performance and expectations of future operating performance. To the extent the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized, valuation allowances are established against the Company's deferred tax assets, which increase income tax expense in the period when such a determination is made.
As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, a significant portion of the Company's deferred tax assets relate to U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on future U.S. pre-tax earnings. Due to the Company's challenged U.S. results in 2017 and 2018, the Company incurred significant pre-tax losses in these jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2019, the Company continues to believe that the weight of the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence, regarding the realization of the majority of the net deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal and state taxing jurisdictions. However, as of March 31, 2019 and consistent with prior periods, valuation allowances have been recorded against select U.S. State and foreign net operating losses.

Effects of potentially dilutive securities are presented only in periods in which they are dilutive. Stock options and restricted stock units representing 4.1 million shares of Class A and C common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Due to the Company being in a net loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no warrants, stock options, or restricted stock units included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
12. Segment Data and Related Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. As such, the CODM receives discrete financial information for the Company's principal business by geographic region based on the Company’s strategy to become a global brand. These geographic regions include North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Each geographic segment operates exclusively in one industry: the development, marketing and distribution of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. The CODM also receives discrete financial information for the Company's Connected Fitness segment. Total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets are not disclosed as this information is not regularly provided to the CODM.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company changed the way management internally analyzes the business and will exclude certain corporate costs from its segment profitability measures. The Company will report these costs within Corporate Other, which is designed to provide increased transparency and comparability of the Company's operating segments. Certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the 2019 presentation. These changes have no impact on previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders equity, or cash flows.
Corporate Other consists largely of general and administrative expenses not allocated to an operating segment, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments such as global marketing, global IT, global supply chain, innovation and other corporate support functions; costs related to the Company's global assets and global marketing, costs related to the Company’s headquarters; restructuring and restructuring related charges; and certain foreign currency hedge gains and losses.

Overview
We are a leading developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. Our products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles. The Under Armour Connected Fitness platform powers the world's largest digital health and fitness community and our strategy is focused on engaging with these consumers and increasing awareness and sales of our products.
Our net revenues grew to $5,193.2 million in 2018 from $3,084.4 million in 2014. We believe that our growth in net revenues has been driven by a growing interest in performance products and the strength of the Under Armour brand in the marketplace. Our long-term growth strategy is focused on increased sales of our products through ongoing product innovation, investment in our distribution channels and international expansion. While we plan to continue to invest in growth, we also plan to improve efficiencies throughout our business as we seek to gain scale through our operations and return on our investments.
21
Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year period include:
•Net revenues increased 1.6%.
•Wholesale revenue increased 4.7% and direct-to-consumer revenue decreased 5.8%.
•Apparel and footwear revenue increased 0.7% and 7.6%, respectively, while accessories revenue decreased 11.0%.
•Revenue in our North America segment decreased 2.8%, while revenue in our Asia-Pacific, EMEA and Latin America segments increased 24.9%, 3.5% and 5.7%, respectively.
•Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 7.7%.
•Gross margin increased 100 basis points.
Segment Presentation
Effective January 1, 2019, we changed the way we internally analyze the business and now exclude certain corporate costs from our segment profitability measures. We now report these costs within Corporate Other, which is designed to provide increased transparency and comparability of our operating segments. Certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the 2019 presentation. These changes have no impact on previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders equity, or cash flows.
Corporate Other consists largely of general and administrative expenses not allocated to an operating segment, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments such as global marketing, global IT, global supply chain, innovation and other corporate support functions; costs related to our global assets and global marketing, costs related to our headquarters; restructuring and restructuring related charges; and certain foreign currency hedge gains and losses.
Marketing
In connection with the Corporate Other presentation discussed above, effective January 1, 2019, we changed the way we internally analyze marketing. Personnel costs previously included in our marketing are now included in other and digital advertising and placement services previously included in other are now included in marketing. We believe these changes provide management with increased transparency of our demand creation investments. Certain prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the 2019 presentation. We do not expect these changes to have a material impact on marketing amounts.
2017 and 2018 Restructuring
As previously announced, in both 2017 and 2018, our Board of Directors approved restructuring plans (the "2017 restructuring plan" and the "2018 restructuring plan") designed to more closely align its financial resources with the critical priorities of the business and optimize operations. All restructuring charges under the plans were incurred by December 31, 2018.
There were no restructuring charges incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019. We recognized approximately $45.0 million of pre-tax charges in connection with the 2018 restructuring plan for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
General
Net revenues comprise net sales, license revenues and Connected Fitness revenues. Net sales comprise sales from our primary product categories, which are apparel, footwear and accessories. Our license revenues primarily consist of fees paid to us by our licensees in exchange for the use of our trademarks on their products. Our Connected Fitness revenues consist of digital advertising, digital fitness platform licenses and subscriptions from our Connected Fitness business.
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, inbound freight and duty costs, outbound freight costs, handling costs to make products floor-ready to customer specifications, royalty payments to endorsers based on a predetermined percentage of sales of selected products and write downs for inventory obsolescence. In general, as a percentage of net revenues, we expect cost of goods sold associated with our apparel and accessories to be lower than that of our footwear. A limited portion of cost of goods sold is associated with Connected Fitness revenues, primarily website hosting costs and other costs, and no cost of goods sold is associated with our license revenues.
22
We include outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold; however, we include the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies that include outbound handling costs in their cost of goods sold. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate our distribution facilities. These costs were $21.7 million and $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs related to marketing, selling, product innovation and supply chain and corporate services. We consolidate our selling, general and administrative expenses into two primary categories: marketing and other. The other category is the sum of our selling, product innovation and supply chain, corporate services categories. The marketing category consists primarily of sports and brand marketing, media, and retail presentation. Sports and brand marketing includes professional, club, collegiate sponsorship, individual athlete and influencer agreements, and providing and selling products directly to team equipment managers and to individual athletes. Media includes digital, broadcast and print media outlets, including social and mobile media. Retail presentation includes sales displays and concept shops and depreciation expense specific to our in-store fixture programs. Our marketing costs are an important driver of our growth.
Other income (expense), net consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses on our foreign currency derivative financial instruments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on adjustments that arise from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by our international subsidiaries.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Net revenues increased $19.3 million, or 1.6%, to $1,204.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $1,185.4 million during the same period in 2018. Net revenues by product category are summarized below:

The increase in net sales was driven by footwear unit sales growth in our run category. The increase was partially offset by unit sales decline in accessories driven by unit sales decreases related to a relaunch within our bags and backpack businesses and softer demand.
License revenues decreased $4.6 million, or 17.5%, to $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $26.3 million during the same period in 2018 primarily driven by decreased revenue from our licensing partners in Japan and North America due to softer demand.
Connected Fitness revenue increased $1.3 million, or 4.4%, to $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $28.8 million during the same period in 2018, primarily driven by an increase in new subscription revenue.
Gross profit increased $21.3 million to $544.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $523.5 million for the same period in 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, increased 100 basis points to 45.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 44.2% during the same period in 2018. This increase in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by the following:
•approximate 90 basis point increase driven by supply chain initiatives including improvements in product costs;
•approximate 60 basis point increase driven by restructuring related charges in the prior year period; and
•approximate 30 basis point increase driven by regional mix, primarily due to a higher proportion of Asia-Pacific revenue.
The above increase was offset by an approximate 70 basis point decrease driven by channel mix, primarily due to a lower proportion of direct-to-consumer and licensing revenues in the quarter and a higher composition of off-price sales.
We expect benefits from supply chain initiatives, including product costs, and regional mix for the remainder of the year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.1 million, or 1.0%, to $509.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $514.6 million for the same period in 2018. Within selling, general and administrative expense:
•Marketing costs increased $7.3 million to $133.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $126.6 million for the same period in 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, marketing costs increased to 11.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 10.7% for the same period in 2018.
•Other costs decreased $12.3 million to $375.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $388.0 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease was driven primarily by lower compensation. As a percentage of net revenues, other costs decreased to 31.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 32.7% for the same period in 2018.
As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 42.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 43.4% for the same period in 2018.

Income tax expense (benefit) increased $12.2 million to an expense of $8.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 from a benefit of $4.1 million during the same period in 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our effective tax rate was 26.8% compared to 11.9% for the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to pre-tax losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the impact of discrete items as a percentage of the pre-tax results in each period.

The increase in total net revenues was driven by the following:
•Net revenues in our North America operating segment decreased $24.3 million to $843.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $867.5 million for the same period in 2018 primarily due to lower units sales within our direct-to-consumer channel due to softer demand.
•Net revenues in our EMEA operating segment increased $4.5 million to $134.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $129.6 million for the same period in 2018 primarily due to growth in our direct-to-consumer channel.
•Net revenues in our Asia-Pacific operating segment increased $28.7 million to $144.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $115.6 million for the same period in 2018 primarily due to wholesale and direct-to-consumer growth.
•Net revenues in our Latin America operating segment increased $2.7 million to $49.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $46.5 million for the same period in 2018 primarily due to growth in our wholesale channel; partially offset by a decrease in unit sales due to a change in our business model in Brazil from a subsidiary to a license and distributor model.
•Net revenues in our Connected Fitness operating segment increased $1.3 million to $30.1 million from $28.8 million for the same period in 2018 primarily driven by an increase in new subscription revenue.

The increase in total operating income (loss) was driven by the following:
•Operating income in our North America operating segment increased $12.1 million to $160.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $148.2 million for the same period in 2018 primarily driven by improvements in gross margin and expense management, including benefits of prior year restructuring efforts.
•Operating income in our EMEA operating segment increased $5.1 million to $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $7.2 million for the same period in 2018 primarily driven by increases in net revenues discussed above and decreased marketing.
•Operating income in our Asia-Pacific operating segment decreased $4.3 million to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $24.1 million for the same period in 2018 primarily driven by a higher proportion of off-price sales and investments in our direct-to-consumer business.
•Operating loss in our Latin America operating segment decreased $1.5 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $1.9 million for the same period in 2018 primarily driven by expense management, including benefits of prior year restructuring efforts and changes to our business model in Brazil.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our cash requirements have principally been for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our working capital, primarily inventory, and capital investments from cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand and borrowings available under our credit and long term debt facilities. Our working capital requirements generally reflect the seasonality and growth in our business as we recognize the majority of our net revenues in the last two quarters of the year. Our capital investments have included expanding our in-store fixture and branded concept shop program, improvements and expansion of our distribution and corporate facilities to support our growth, leasehold improvements to our brand and factory house stores, and investment and improvements in information technology systems.
Our inventory strategy is focused on continuing to meet consumer demand while improving our inventory efficiency over the long term by putting systems and processes in place to improve our inventory management. These systems and processes are designed to improve our forecasting and supply planning capabilities. In addition to systems and processes, key areas of focus that we believe will enhance inventory performance are added discipline around the purchasing of product, production lead time reduction, and better planning and execution in selling of excess inventory through our factory house stores and other liquidation channels.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash from operations, our ability to access the debt capital markets and borrowings available to us under our credit agreement and other financing instruments are adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2019, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, an economic recession or a slow recovery could adversely affect our business and liquidity. In addition, instability in or tightening of the capital markets could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital to grow our business on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Cash Flows
The following table presents the major components of net cash flows provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities for the periods presented:

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (267,904) | $ | (27,950) |
Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, unrealized foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses, losses on disposals of property and equipment, impairment charges, stock-based compensation, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements, deferred income taxes and changes in reserves and allowances. In addition, operating cash flows include the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally inventories, accounts receivable, income taxes payable and receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash used in operating activities increased $111.8 million to $89.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $22.0 million of cash provided by operating activities during the same period in 2018. The increase in cash used in operating activities was due to increased net cash outflows from reserves and allowances and operating assets and liabilities of $180.3 million, primarily driven by accounts receivable and accounts payable. This was partially offset by an increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items of $37.0 million.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased $20.0 million to $35.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $55.9 million for the same period in 2018, primarily due to lower capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures for the full year 2019 are expected to be approximately $210.0 million, comprised primarily of investments in our retail stores, global wholesale fixtures, corporate offices and other digital initiatives including the FMS implementation in China and South Korea, which became operational on April 1, 2019.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities increased $145.4 million to $141.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $3.8 million of cash provided by financing activities during the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily due to the repayment of our term loan.
Capital Resources
Credit Facility
On March 8, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, amending and restating our prior credit agreement. As amended and restated, our credit agreement has a term of five years, maturing in March 2024, and provides revolving credit commitments for up to $1.25 billion of borrowings, with no term loan borrowings, which were provided for under our prior credit agreement. As of March 31, 2019 there were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $136.3 million outstanding under the term loan. In January 2019, we prepaid the outstanding balance of $136.3 million on our term loan, without penalty
At our request and the lender's consent, commitments under the credit agreement may be increased by up to $300.0 million in aggregate, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the credit agreement, as amended. Incremental borrowings are uncommitted and the availability thereof will depend on market conditions at the time we seek to incur such borrowings.
The borrowings under the revolving credit facility have maturities of less than one year. Up to $50.0 million of the facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. There were $4.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2019.
27
The credit agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, pledge our assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, undergo fundamental changes and enter into transactions with affiliates. We are also required to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.50 to 1.00 and we are not permitted to allow the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be greater than 3.25 to 1.00 ("consolidated leverage ratio"). As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with these ratios. In addition, the credit agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, and includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other material indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the credit agreement.
Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an alternate base rate, or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made (“adjusted LIBOR”), plus in each case an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “Pricing Grid”) based on the consolidated leverage ratio and ranges between 1.00% to 1.25% for alternate base rate loans. The weighted average interest rates under the revolving credit facility borrowings were 3.6% and 2.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average interest rate under the outstanding term loan was 2.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and certain fees with respect to letters of credit. As of March 31, 2019, the commitment fee was 15 basis points.
3.250% Senior Notes
In June 2016, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2026 (the “Notes”). The proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning December 15, 2016. Prior to March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), we may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or a "make-whole" amount applicable to such Notes as described in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants, including limitations that restrict our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to create or incur secured indebtedness and enter into sale and leaseback transactions and our ability to consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our properties or assets to another person, in each case subject to material exceptions described in the indenture.
Other Long Term Debt
In December 2012, we entered into a $50.0 million recourse loan collateralized by the land, buildings and tenant improvements comprising our corporate headquarters. In July 2018, this loan was paid in full using borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Interest expense, net, was $4.2 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, bank fees, capital and built-to-suit lease interest and interest expense under the credit and other long term debt facilities.
We monitor the financial health and stability of our lenders under the credit and other long term debt facilities, however during any period of significant instability in the credit markets, lenders could be negatively impacted in their ability to perform under these facilities.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
Other than the borrowings and repayments disclosed above in the "Capital Resources" section and changes which occur in the normal course of business, there were no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our 2018 Form 10-K as updated in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates.
28
We believe the following addresses the critical accounting policies that are necessary to understand and evaluate our reported financial results.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2018 Form 10-K. The SEC suggests companies provide additional disclosure on those accounting policies considered most critical. The SEC considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations and requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management in its application. Our estimates are often based on complex judgments, probabilities and assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. It is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of the MD&A in our 2018 Form 10-K. Other than adoption of recent accounting standards as discussed in Note 2 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Refer to Note 2 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for our assessment of recently issued accounting standards.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes to our market risk since December 31, 2018. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
In 2015, we began the process of implementing a global operating and financial reporting information technology system, SAP Fashion Management Solution ("FMS"), as part of a multi-year plan to integrate and upgrade our systems and processes. The first phase of this implementation became operational on July 5, 2017, in our North America, EMEA, and Connected Fitness operations. The second phase of this implementation became operational on April 1, 2019 in China and South Korea. We believe the implementation of the systems and related changes to internal controls will enhance our internal controls over financial reporting. We also believe the necessary steps have been taken to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during this period of change and we will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls during subsequent periods.
We are currently in the process of developing an implementation strategy and roll-out plan for FMS in our Latin America operations over the next several years. As the phased implementation of this system continues, we will continue to experience certain changes to our processes and procedures which, in turn, result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we believe that our robust assessment provides effective global coverage for key control activities that support our internal controls over financial reporting conclusion. While we expect FMS to strengthen our internal financial controls by automating certain manual processes and standardizing business processes and reporting across our organization, management will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal controls as each of the affected areas evolve. For a discussion of risks related to the implementation of new systems, see Item 1A - "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business - Risks and uncertainties associated with the implementation of information systems may negatively impact our business " in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we implemented controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new lease accounting standard on our financial statements in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 We also implemented controls to support the lease system and accounting under this ASU to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting.
