Nike : 2024 Annual Report Shareholder Letter PDF
NKE
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,
At Nike, our athletes inspire us to always raise the bar for ourselves.
We're inspired by elite athletes who perform at the highest levels and drive the energy and excitement of sport on the world's biggest stages. And we invite new generations into sport, growing the worldwide community of athletes in neighborhoods and communities everywhere.
As the global athletic market leader, our scale and breadth provide the opportunity to create impact on a level that only Nike can. We start with innovation that pushes human potential forward and combine that with storytelling that connects with the consumer. Today, consumers all over the world continue to recognize Nike as their #1 brand for athletes and sport.
That said, we have work to do to reach our full potential. For FY24, revenue growth was up approximately 1% on a currency neutral basis and earnings per share grew 15%. However, we underperformed our expectations for the past three quarters and lowered our outlook. This does not meet what we expect of ourselves, and we are working tirelessly to make the necessary adjustments.
Over this past year, we've been clear about the strategic shifts we're taking as a company. These actions include leadership and organizational changes, kick-starting a multi-year innovation cycle and creating capacity to invest in consumer-facing activities.
Today, we're aligned, focused and positioned to compete and win:
This is our playbook. And while FY25 will be a transition year for our business, we continue to make real progress on our comeback.
It began by aligning our organization to put a sharp focus on sport back at the center of everything we do. This meant reinvestment in consumer-led,sport-focused teams that are the foundation of our offense.
As we fuel a pipeline of new innovation, we will introduce new franchises, concepts and platforms. Key innovations from this past year ranged from breakthrough innovation for runners with the AlphyFly 3 to basketball innovation with the GT Cut and Sabrina 1, a shoe that continues to resonate across gender. In FY24, we also launched a new lifestyle platform in Dynamic Air and updated our biggest performance franchise, Pegasus 41, to create a shoe that's more comfortable, durable and responsive than ever.
FISCAL YEAR 2024
We're driving bigger, bolder storytelling through brand campaigns like our Euro Champs anthem, "Awaken Your Madness." Our signing of the German football federation this year will give us an opportunity to make the German team a global brand and make their athletes global heroes. And we're excited for the Paris Olympics to offer us a pinnacle moment to communicate our vision of sport to the world, with athletes at the center from brand voice to retail activations.
And we're building energy across the full marketplace, including Nike Direct and our strategic partners. Our wholesale partners help us scale our innovation and newness in physical stores and connect our brands in the path of the consumer. We've also accelerated our ground game in FY24, including a deeper investment in neighborhood activations to drive consumer trialing of new products. And we continue to connect directly with consumers through our membership program regardless of where they shop across the marketplace.
In the end, we're making these strategic shifts with urgency in the face of the opportunities we see ahead. This is all thanks to the passion and grit of our global team, which is laser-focused on aggressively asserting the future of Nike. As we look ahead to what promises to be a thrilling Olympic Games in Paris, we know this summer will help set the tone for a stronger Nike - one better positioned to create long-term value for consumers and shareholders.
Respectfully,
John
