This growth was driven by a 24% increase in NIKE Brand Digital sales and a 14% rise in comparable store sales. However, the company's gross margin decreased by 250 basis points to 43.5% due to higher product costs, elevated freight and logistics expenses, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, partially offset by strategic pricing actions.
Despite margin pressures, NIKE returned $7.5 billionc to shareholders in fiscal 2023 through share repurchases and dividends, underscoring a commitment to shareholder value. Management noted improvements in supply chain conditions throughout the year, which stabilized product flow by the fourth quarter.
