Under Armour's Board of Directors has also approved a restructuring plan To strengthen and support thetcompany's financial and operational efficiencies. The company expects to incur total estimated pre-tax restructuring and related charges of approximately $70 to $90 million.

"In parallel, we're focused on cost management and implementing the strategies necessary to grow our brand and improve shareholder value as we move forward," Plank added.
