Filed July 21, 2022For Securities:NKE

Summary

NIKE, Inc. demonstrated resilience and achieved record revenues of $46.7 billion for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, marking a 5% increase over the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by strong performance in EMEA, North America, and APLA, despite a decline in Greater China attributed to COVID-19 resurgence and marketplace dynamics. The company's strategic shift towards NIKE Direct, which now accounts for 42% of total NIKE Brand revenues, continues to be a key growth driver, with NIKE Brand Digital sales increasing by 18%. Despite supply chain disruptions and elevated logistics costs that impacted gross margins, NIKE managed to expand its gross margin by 120 basis points year-over-year, signaling effective cost management and pricing strategies. The company faced challenges including production losses due to government-mandated shutdowns in Vietnam and Indonesia, contributing to a 23% increase in inventories to $8.4 billion. However, NIKE is actively managing these impacts through its operational playbook, including inventory balancing and pricing actions. The company also announced a new $18 billion share repurchase program, underscoring its commitment to returning capital to shareholders and its confidence in future performance.
