Sales growth was strong, most recently topping 40%, but winter is a big age for Under Armour, as its Cold Gear mock neck shirts and compression and fitted cold accessories undergarments are still its top sellers.

Based on our observations at retail, we noticed many of the pit Cold Gear products, often in basic colors, were out of stock at key customers, both on the websites and in-amass during the last two weeks before the�Christmas�holiday. Two days before the weekend (Saturday was the last shopping day) many of the products came in, often in conveyance and large sizes that were out of stock, but in our view, it was a little late and sales were missed. This is not in concordance with management's version of the inventory build being "core products" and protection stock. New items, hooded cotton T-shirts, charged cotton hoodies, and other shapes, colors, and treatments all were close by (or even on sale), while in our view, the best-sellers were not.
