Nike’s Third Quarter At Length

March 24th, 2012

Nike Inc. , as a global leader in sports equipment and apparel , came out with its
third-quarter 2012 results.  The company’s earnings came in at $1.20 per share, up 11.1% from the year-ago earnings of $1.08 per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.16 per share. In the quarter, robust demand scenario for Nike brands coupled with selling and administrative expense leverage and lower share count boosted its bottom line.

Nike’s total revenue grew 15.1% to $5,846 million from $5,079 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by growth in all key categories of NIKE Brand, and in geographic regions excluding Japan. Revenue for the quarter surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5,829 million. During the quarter, all brands including Converse, Hurley, NIKE Golf and Umbro, reflected growth from last year, while Haan remained flat.

Nike’s quarterly gross profit surged 10% from the year-ago quarter to $2,561 million, while gross margin contracted 200 basis points to 43.8%. The margin contraction mainly resulted from higher product costs, offset by favorable profitability from Direct to Consumer operations, positive pricing actions impact and benefits from cost reduction initiatives.

Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter grew 10% to $1,802 million from $1,637 million in the year-ago quarter. Earnings before taxes (EBT) rose 9% to $770 million from $707 million in the year-ago period. However, EBT margin contracted 70 basis points from the prior-year quarter to 13.2%.

Nike Fuel

March 19th, 2012

Nike Fuel is the hottest product in the US at South and Southwest .

Imagine the digital wrist display from the movie Out Of Time , except as a sleek mat black wristband .

Its motion sensor connects via your iphone to a personal movement and exercise goal plan , through a very slick interface , using social and personal prompts to keep you on track . It’s also a watch .

Because across the road from the Nike Fuel retailer venue is a block-long digital billboard , telling the whole world .Therefore that’s not what I’m here to talk .

Except in this particular image , it doesn’t quite read that way .

Remarks : when we pointed it out, the image had been there for three days … amazingly, not one of the 20,000 geeks here was dirty-minded enough to notice it. Who says antipodeans aren’t different?

Flyknit,Nike’s Future

March 17th, 2012

Have you heard the idea that make the shoes as comfortable as socks? Yes , it sounds amazing .But Nike’s lastest running shoes got it started.Actually , as early as in 1980s ,Nike had tried applying the sock technology into making shoes with a soft mesh sneaker called sock racer. While offerring comfort they don’t provide durable sole for the runners or any other athletes.

The computer-controlled weaving technology, which knits the entire upper part of the shoe in a single piece that’s then attached to the sole, promises to cut labor costs and production time while also increasing profit margins and opportunities for personalization. It may even bring some shoe manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. In traditional shoe-making, machines cut scores of pieces that workers must then assemble. By reducing or removing that step, the most labor-intensive part of the process is eliminated—along with the main reason for making shoes in Asia’s cheaper labor markets. “This is a complete game-changer,” says Charlie Denson, president of the Nike brand. The process cuts costs so much “that eventually we could make these shoes anywhere in the world.”

With the attempts got bigger , they have been trying a new way to let the idea come true . Now ,Nike Inc. have found a new technology called Flyknit .The world’s largest sporting-goods maker now said it has the solution with Flyknit . A 5.6-ounce running shoe made from synthetic yarn woven together by a knitting machine. Besides giving Nike an edge in the fast-growing lightweight running category, executives say the new weaving process could cut costs enough to move production outside Asia and one day allow anyone to personalize shoes to their exact specifications.

Flyknit, which costs $150 and hits U.S. stores in July, is the latest product aimed at the minimalist running movement, whose devotees advocate lightweight shoes to reduce injuries. The lightweight category accounted for 30 percent of the $6.5 billion U.S. running shoe market last year and was responsible for all of its 14 percent growth, according to Sport One Source, a research firm.The sock shoe project started four years ago with a prototype of a sock attached to a foam bottom. The concept got early support when CEO Mark Parker, who joined Nike as a shoe designer in 1979, made one of his regular visits to the innovation kitchen and saw the sock.

Nike Apologised For The Name-The Black And Tan

March 16th, 2012

For Nike , it just a innocent name . To others , it was a
historical affront reviving bitter memories of a British unit sent to Ireland to suppress revolt in the 1920s.

The ” trainer” is officially called the Nike SB Dunk Low,now has been nicknamed The Black And Tan due to its colorings . An advertisement for the shoe says: “Tis the season for Irish beer and why not celebrate with Nike.

“The Black and Tan sneaker takes inspiration for the fine balancing act of a stout on top a pale ale in a pint glass.”

Others Irish Americans criticised Nike for being “oblivious” to the historical connotation.

Nike has apologised for the name. A spokesman said: “It is not the official name of the shoe. It has been unofficially named by some using the phrase and we recognise it can be viewed as inappropriate and insensitive. We apologise and no offence was intended.”

Winston Churchill created the Black and Tans after the First World War by to try to deal with a rising tide of violence from the IRA, which was attempting to drive Britain out of Ireland.

Many were war veterans and they got the nickname because their uniforms were a mixture of army khaki and police tunics.

The Black and Tans were only deployed from 1920 to 1922, but Irish nationalists still associate them with brutality. Most historians accept that they killed and destroyed on a large scale.

Nike,Just Buy It

March 15th, 2012

Nike , one of the world’s bigest athletic shoe and apparel market , reports its third quarter fiscal 2012 financial results.Nike has been on a tear for the last year. Based on its excellence of execution regarding new product initiatives, cost reduction and avoidance initiatives and upcoming sales catalysts,I feel confident they will meet or exceed the Street’s expectations and give positive guidance.

Diverse Product Mix

Demand for Nike products continues to grow. When I first started at Nike I had no idea how many differing products they offer. There are too many to list. You can safely say that if it has anything to do with sports they sell it. From watches to swimming caps Nike has it covered. Nike has been creating demand for years with its innovative products. Nike’s addressable market is conservatively estimated to be $75 billion. The U.S. footwear, apparel and equipment distribution centers are located in Memphis Tennessee. Nike derives revenues from a diverse product mix of approximately 65% athletic footwear, 29% apparel and 6% equipment.

Competitive Advantage

Nike is number one in sports footwear and number two for athletic apparel. Nike’s major competition in footwear is Adidas Ag (ADDYY.PK) with a market cap of $16 billion and a forward P/E of 15. You can call them competition, but Nike is clearly focused on insuring they stay on top.

Nike is constantly analyzing its competition, both existing and potential. They keep a virtual full court press on competitors at all times. Regarding apparel, Under Armour, Inc. (UA) and Lululemon Athletica inc. (LULU) are the new kids on the block as far as competition in the apparel market. LULU, with a market cap of $10 billion and a forward P/E of 45, and UA, with a $5 billion market cap and a forward P/E of 32, are David’s to Nike’s Goliath $50 billion market cap and forward P/E of 19. UA and LULU have made inroads into the apparel market but Nike’s ties with major athletes and sports teams have stood the test of time. Nike just recently signed the latest hot NFL prospect Andrew Luck out of Stanford. It seems you can’t watch a sporting event today without seeing the famed Nike Swoosh.

Future Catalysts

March Madness is upon us which should provide an opportunity for Nike to showcase new products. The 2012 Summer Olympics and NBA playoffs roll around a few months later providing another selling point. Finally, a new release of Nike’s Converse brand in China should boost profits

Nike Shot A Commercia At Collinsville School

March 14th, 2012

Nike shot a commercial on Tuesday in downtown Collinsville and on the newly installed artificial turf at Collinsville High School.

The Collinsville School board recently allocated more than $1 million of tax-payer money to spruce up the field. Some had mixed feelings about it back then and those feelings haven’t completely gone away.

The school Superintendent Robert Green said he was very proud Nike chose Collinsville High School to shoot their commercial. He says the high school band will even make an appearance in the ad.

“This is affirmation that we are doing some things right here,” said Dr. Green. Nike donated $3,000 for the commercial. He says that money will be used to pay for the logo in the center of the football field and the lettering in the end zone. Dr. Green says when the school board voted to approve the football field project they asked the school to raise $34,000 in private funds or grant money to pay for the logo and lettering. “We think it’s a good use. It’s going to benefit a lot of kids”.

” I think had the field not been re-done the commercial may or may not have been shot out here and I think it deserves to go to the field .” said Jaime Frey , a parent of a Collinslille High School students .

“My son does not play sports but even if he did I think putting that much money into the field was unnecessary,” said Angela Burkett, a parent of a Collinsville High School student.

“I understand the people that were opposed to the project spending money in a time like this but, you got to remember it’s for the kids and we will get a lot of use out of it,” said Dr. Green.

He says his next priority is improving Twin Echo Elementary. Right now, there is a portable building which holds two classrooms he’s hoping to transform into a permanent addition. He says that could take between one and four years.

One of the hottest trends in 2011 was rocker chic, and few mastered the daring look as well as Kristen.

Nike And Adidas Are On Collision Course For London 2012 Olympics

March 12th, 2012

The two brands of sportswear giants Adidas and Nike are on collision course for London 2012 Olympics . They are more frosty than usual over their access to leading Olympic stars including Paula Radcliffe, Mo Farah and Cavendish .

The fierce competition has already reached a top that maybe it could begin impacting upon British and American Olympics.

The center of the dispute is Adidas’s position as an official London 2012 sponsor , and the issue of athletes who are sponsored year round year by one brand appearing at the games in knit sponsored by its rival.

Actually ,in the past the two company have reached a ‘gentlemen agreement’ over those issue , but the competition in the upcoming London 2012 is so rivalry that the agreement makes no sense .

The British Olympic Association is sponsored by Adidas,and Nike athletes will be expected to appear in their kit when they run for Team GB. But in the United State the position is opposite .with Nike the official kit supplier to the US Olympic Committee, a team that will feature scores of Adidas athletes, as well as those sponsored by Reebok, Puma and other manufacturers.

In the past Nike and Adidas have turned a blind eye to clashes, allowing athletes to mount the podium in their main sponsors’ trainers. They are on collision course for London .

For British athletes that would mean wearing Adidas shoes on the rostrum, while American competitors would have to wear Nike podium kit including trainers.Nike insists that it is not “ambush marketing”, but it will leverage its athletes around the Games.
