    We have previously identified a and remediated material weakness weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025. Failure to remediate this material weakness, or any reporting. Any other material weaknesses that we may identify identified in the future, future could result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, a failure to meet our periodic reporting obligations and a decline in our stock price.

    As previously disclosed, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 and as a result, we also determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses resulted from a failure to design and maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the period-end financial reporting process, including the review and execution of certain balance sheet account reconciliations, and we did not design and maintain effective controls over the classification and presentation of general ledger accounts in the appropriate financial statement line items within the consolidated financial statements. While the material weaknesses have been remediated as of March 31, 2026, and our management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026, there can be no assurances that other deficiencies will not come to management's attention in the future that could lead to additional material weaknesses, which could again cause us to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective. Any failure to maintain an effective internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our interim or annual consolidated financial statements, failure to meet our reporting obligations, significant expenses to remediate any deficiencies, a decline in investor confidence in our reported financial information and a decline in our stock price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The trading prices for our Class A and Class C Common Stock may differ and fluctuate from time to time.

    The trading prices of our Class A and Class C Common Stock may differ and fluctuate from time to time in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors may include, among others, overall performance of the equity markets and the economy as a whole, variations in our quarterly results of operations or those of our competitors, our ability to meet our published guidance and securities analyst expectations, or recommendations by securities analysts. In addition, our non-voting Class C Common Stock has traded at a discount to our Class A Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that this will not continue.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Kevin Plank, our founder and President and Chief Executive Officer, controls the majority of the voting power of our common stock.

    Our Class A Common Stock has one vote per share, our Class B Convertible Common Stock has 10 votes per share and our Class C Common Stock has no voting rights (except in limited circumstances). Our founder and President and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Plank, beneficially owns all outstanding shares of Class B Convertible Common Stock. As a result, Mr. Plank has the majority voting control and is able to direct the election of all of the members of our Board of Directors and other matters we submit to a vote of our stockholders. Under certain circumstances, the Class B Convertible Common Stock automatically converts to Class A Common Stock, which would also result in the conversion of our Class C Common Stock into Class A Common Stock. As specified in our charter, these circumstances include when Mr. Plank beneficially owns less than 15% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock outstanding, if Mr. Plank were to resign as an Approved Executive Officer of the Company (or was otherwise terminated for cause) or if Mr. Plank sells more than a specified number of any class of our common stock within a one-year period. This concentration of voting control may have various effects including, but not limited to, delaying or preventing a change of control or allowing us to take action that the majority of our stockholders do not otherwise support. In addition, we utilize shares of our Class C Common Stock to fund employee equity incentive programs and may do so in connection with future stock-based acquisition transactions, which could prolong the duration of Mr. Plank's voting control.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
