Sales and Distribution
The majority of our sales are generated through wholesale channels, including national and regional sporting goods chains, independent and specialty retailers, department store chains, mono-branded Under Armour retail stores in certain international markets, institutional athletic departments and leagues and teams. In various countries where we do not have direct sales operations, we sell our products to independent distributors or engage licensees to sell our products.
We also sell our products directly to consumers through our global network of Brand and Factory House stores and e-commerce websites. Factory House stores serve an important role in inventory management by allowing us to sell a portion of excess, discontinued and out-of-season products, while maintaining the pricing integrity of our brand in our other distribution channels. We also sell products that are specifically designed for sale in our Factory House stores. Consumers experience a premium expression of our brand through our Brand House stores while having broader access to our performance products. In Fiscal 2024, sales through our wholesale, direct-to-consumer and licensing channels represented 57%, 41% and 2% of net revenues, respectively.
Our primary business operates in four geographic segments: (i) North America, comprising the United States and Canada, (ii) Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), (iii) Asia-Pacific, and (iv) Latin America. These geographic segments operate predominantly in one industry: developing, marketing and distributing branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. Refer to Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for net revenues by segment.
Corporate Other consists primarily of (i) operating results related to our MapMyFitness digital platform, which includes MapMyRun® and MapMyRide® (collectively "MMR"), and other digital business opportunities; (ii) general and administrative expenses not allocated to an operating segment, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments such as global marketing, global IT, global supply chain and innovation, and other corporate support functions; (iii) restructuring and restructuring related charges, if any; and (iv) certain foreign currency hedge gains and losses.
Our North America segment accounted for approximately 61% of our net revenues for Fiscal 2024, while our EMEA, Asia-Pacific and Latin America segments combined represented approximately 38%. Net revenues generated from the sales of our products in the United States were $3.2 billion for Fiscal 2024. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net revenues for Fiscal 2024.
North America
We sell our apparel, footwear and accessories in North America through wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. We also earn license revenues in North America based on our licensees' sales of collegiate apparel and accessories, as well as other licensed products.
Our direct-to-consumer sales are generated through our Brand and Factory House stores and e-commerce website. As of March 31, 2024, in North America, we had 183 Factory House stores primarily located in outlet centers and 17 Brand House stores throughout the United States and Canada. Consumers can also purchase our products directly from our e-commerce website.
We distribute the majority of our products to our North American wholesale customers and our own retail stores and e-commerce channels from distribution facilities we lease and operate in California, Maryland and Tennessee. In addition, we distribute our products in Canada through a third-party logistics provider. In some instances, we arrange to have products shipped directly to customer-designated facilities from the factories that manufacture our products.
EMEA
We sell our apparel, footwear and accessories in EMEA primarily through wholesale customers and independent distributors, along with e-commerce websites and Brand and Factory House stores we operate within Europe. We also sell our branded products to various sports clubs and teams in Europe. We generally distribute our products to our retail customers and e-commerce consumers in Europe through a third-party logistics provider in the Netherlands and a bonded warehouse in the United Kingdom. We sell our apparel, footwear and accessories through independent distributors in the Middle East and Africa.
Asia-Pacific
We sell our apparel, footwear and accessories products in China, South Korea, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand through stores operated by our distribution and wholesale partners, along with e-commerce websites and Brand and Factory House stores that we own and operate. We also sell our products to distributors in New Zealand, Taiwan, India and other countries in Southeast Asia where we do not have direct sales operations. We distribute our products in Asia-Pacific through third-party logistics providers based in Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Australia and Singapore.
We have a license agreement with a partner in Japan, which produces, markets and sells our branded apparel, footwear and accessories. Our branded products are sold in this market to large sporting goods retailers, independent specialty stores, professional sports teams and licensee-owned retail stores. We hold a non-controlling interest in our partner.
Latin America
We sell our apparel, footwear and accessories in Mexico through wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. We distribute our products in Mexico through a third-party logistics provider. In countries where we no longer have direct sales operations, such as Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, we distribute our products through independent distributors, sourced primarily through our international distribution hub in Panama.
