Briefing

Nike's Q3 2023 results reflected strong revenue growth but a decrease in gross margin and earnings per share.

Nike reported a 14% increase in revenue to $12.4 billion, driven by strong performance in NIKE Direct and wholesale. However, gross margin decreased due to higher markdowns and unfavorable currency exchange rates, leading to an 11% decrease in net income to $1.2 billion and a 9% decrease in diluted earnings per share to $0.79.

  • NIKE's revenues increased by 14% to $12.4 billion, or 19% on a currency-neutral basis.
  • NIKE Direct sales rose by 17%, and NIKE Brand Digital sales increased by 20%.
  • Gross margin decreased by 330 basis points to 43.3% due to higher markdowns and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
  • Diluted earnings per share decreased by 9% to $0.79.
