Nike Announces Massive Transformation Amid Sales Slump
Nike has announced a sweeping restructuring plan that includes operating model changes and job cuts. The athletic footwear and apparel corporation projects a sales decline this year following lower first-quarter revenue. Shares plummeted 10 percent after the weak revenue outlook and layoff plans were revealed. The ongoing struggles are testing investor confidence in CEO Hill and his turnaround efforts. This major shift impacts competitors across the sector, hitting stock prices for brands such as Lululemon, On, Under Armour, and Deckers Outdoor. The company is organizing into three geographies: the Americas, Asia Pacific and Greater China, and Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Why it matters
The restructuring comes as Nike works to modernize its supply chain and change its work and workforce under its turnaround strategy. Founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports, the Beaverton, Oregon-based corporation grew into the world's largest supplier of athletic shoes and apparel with revenue exceeding US$46 billion in fiscal year 2022. The weaker financial performance and subsequent warnings have triggered ripple effects across the broader athletic apparel market.
