Kevin Plank, Chairman and CEO of Under Armour, Inc., stated: "We reached an important milestone to start 2015 with our 20th straight quarter above 20% net revenue growth. This represents five years of consistently exceeding the demands of our athletes and just as importantly, anticipating what those demands will be next. While the 25% growth achieved in the first quarter was a great start to the year, we are even more excited with the foundation we are establishing for future growth. Within our Connected Fitness platform, we closed our two acquisitions of Endomondo and MyFitnessPal to create the world's largest digital health and fitness community. We have already added over 10 million unique registered users to our platform since our initial February announcement, bringing the total Connected Fitness community to over 130 million unique registered users. We opened a 30,000 square foot Brand House store on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, while also debuting our first stores in Brazil and the Middle East which contributed to the 74% international growth for the quarter. We experienced tremendous demand for our new SpeedForm Gemini running shoe and the Curry One basketball shoe with even bigger things to come in these categories. And in our largest product category, Apparel, we crossed 20% growth for the 22nd consecutive quarter. These are powerful engines that will help ensure the Brand remains firmly entrenched as the leading growth company in our industry."
