Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
On March 20, 2001 NIKE, Inc. Released The Following Third Quarter Results:
Highlights:
- Third quarter earnings per diluted share were $0.35 versus $0.52 a
year ago
- Revenues for the quarter were flat versus last year at $2.2 billion
- Global footwear revenues down seven percent; global apparel up nine
percent; global equipment up 32 percent
- Worldwide futures orders were flat; up three percent in constant
dollars
NIKE, Inc. reaffirmed the earnings per share estimate of $0.60 to $0.65 for the
fourth quarter. Third quarter revenues were essentially even with last year at
$2.2 billion. Third quarter net income totaled $97 million, or $0.35 per
diluted share, compared to $145 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the
same period last year. Last month, the company reported that due to weakness in
its U.S. footwear business and complications arising from the impact of
implementing a new demand and supply planning system, it expected to earn
between $0.34 and $0.38 per share for the third quarter ending February 28,
2001, versus its previously stated guidance of $0.50 to $0.55 per share.*
Philip H. Knight, Chairman and CEO, said, "Although we are disappointed
with the weakness of our U.S. footwear revenues, we continue to be very
pleased by the strength of our international businesses, which delivered
17 percent constant dollar revenue growth during the quarter. We are
also very encouraged by the double digit growth of U.S. apparel and
equipment. I believe that continued strong consumer acceptance of our
products at retail and the strengthening of our organization will enable
us to manage through the challenges in our U.S. footwear business and
lay the foundation for another round of growth."*
Knight continued, "The recent promotion of Nike veterans Charlie Denson
and Mark Parker to the newly created positions of Presidents of the Nike
Brand is an important step toward improving our organizational focus and
efficiency."*
Futures Orders
The Company reported worldwide futures orders for athletic footwear and
apparel, scheduled for delivery between March and July 2001, totaling
$3.8 billion, flat versus such orders reported for the same period last year.
Had the U.S. dollar remained constant, futures orders would have increased
three percent.*
In terms of futures orders by region, the USA was down four percent; Europe
increased three percent; Asia Pacific grew 15 percent; and the Americas
decreased three percent. In constant dollars, futures orders for Europe grew
eight percent; Asia Pacific increased 26 percent; and the Americas grew one
percent.*
Knight said, "Our global futures results represent a sequential improvement
over last quarter. Internationally, our futures orders grew 11 percent in
constant dollars while the U.S. futures number declined four percent versus
last year. Additionally, as we have emphasized before, one-third of our total
revenue is generated by business that is not included in our futures program,
such as equipment and Nike retail. Overall, we believe these results indicate
healthy growth in the majority of our businesses today, and we anticipate
future improvement as our footwear business recovers in the U.S."*
