US sportswear giant Nike posted a US$46.7 billion revenue for the 2022 financial year, up five percent on-year.
It also pushed its net income up six percent on-year to $6 billion for the same period.
The Nike brand registered a $44.4 billion revenue, up five percent on-year, was driven by double-digit growth in the company’s direct sales platform, Nike Direct, though partially offset by wholesale revenue declines.
Meanwhile, Nike Direct's annual revenue increased 14 percent year-over-year to $18.7 billion, while Converse unit's annual revenue increased 6 percent to $2.3 billion.
Nike reported a total return to stockholders of almost $5.8 billion, up 12 percent from the previous year and including dividends of $1.8 billion.
Revenue for its North American operations rose seven percent on year to US$18.4 billion, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) at US$5.1 billion.
For Greater China, revenue for the year slipped nine percent to US$7.5 billion, while EBITDA dropped 27 percent to US$2.4 billion.
The revenue for the Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) unit was US$12.5 billion, jumping nine percent on-year, as its EBITDA increased 35 percent to US$3.3 billion. The Asia-Pacific and Latin America unit's revenue and EBITA were US$6 billion, up 11 percent, and US$1.9 billion, up 24 percent.
John Donahoe, president and CEO of Nike, noted that their competitive advantages, including their innovative products and expanding digital leadership, prove that their strategy is working.
