Instructions for the write-up:
Your write-up needs to address each the following area. Plainly label each section. Support your observations with numbers from your ratios or directional (horizontal & vertical) financial statements. For example, if long term debt increased, what caused it? Do you see an increase in property & equipment? Has the interest expense increase? Has depreciation jumped significantly?
Your write-up needs an introduction about the company (Under Armour) and any major changes during the year.
Sales Growth Are Net Sales Growing? Are there any divisions, product lines or major category (such as online sales) growing? If the company has reail operations, is there an increase in same store sales? Has any stores been closed or product lines dropped? Does the annual report give any indication about the reason(s) for this? Does your directional analysis (horizontal or vertical) bear this out?
Cost Control are expenses in line with the change in net sales? Look at the levels of costs including cost of goods sold, and SGA (selling, general, and administrative expenses). Did any of these change more that would be expect given the sales increase? Were there any one time expenses? Do you find any explanation in the Management Discussion and Analysis (MDA) in the 10-K report? Again, support your observation with your directional analysis and/or ratios,
Profitability Look at the three levels of profits; gross margin, operating profit and net income. How are they changing from year to year as a percentage of sales (vertical analysis)? Is the profit changes in line with the sales changes?
Cash Flow and Liquidity - Is cash increasing or decreasing. Does that make sense in light of the profits? Look at the Statement of Cash Flows, Are all three categories generating cash? If cash from operation is negative, what is causes that? What about the liquidity ratios? Did you find a change in the current or the quick ratio? Is the growth of inventory reasonable as compared to the growing of cost of goods sold? Look at the inventory turnover ratio. And dont forget about accounts receivable and its change. Are you concerned with changes in the accounts receivable turnover ratio.
Debt Levels Is debt increasing or decreasing? Looks at the change in current and long-term liabilities in your directional analyses. What are the reasons for this change? Look at your debt ratios. If long term debt has increased, where are the funds being used, such as new equipment or to purchase a company? Is there anything in an annual report or outside articles to explain a significant change in debt, if you find one? If long term debt has increased, do you see a change in interest expense?
Equity and Stock Market Factors Has common stock plus the paid-in capital on common stock increased? Has it decreased from a buyback of common stock (treasury stock)? What about the price of the stock, has it changed significantly over the years of your analysis. Look at the price to earnings ratio and the dividend yield ratio.
You need to finish each write-up with a summary of your findings and concerns. What do you want your reader to continue to think about when they finish your write-up?
