Wide-Moat Nike’s Powerful Brand and Digital Strategy

Allowing It to Overcome Market Turmoil

Business Strategy & Outlook David Swartz, Senior Equity Analyst, 22 Dec 2022

We view Nike as the leader of the athletic apparel market and believe it will overcome current

challenges despite near-term inventory and economic issues. Our wide moat rating on the company is

based on its intangible brand asset, as we believe it will maintain premium pricing and generate

economic profits for at least 20 years. Nike, the largest athletic footwear brand in all major categories

and in all major markets, dominates categories like running and basketball with popular shoe styles.

While it does face significant competition, we believe it has proven over a long period that it can

maintain share and pricing.

We think Nike’s strategies allow it to maintain its leadership position. Over the last few years, Nike has

invested in its direct-to-consumer network while cutting many wholesale accounts. In North America

and elsewhere, the firm has reduced its exposure to undifferentiated retailers while increasing its

connections with a small number of retailers that bring the Nike brand closer to consumers, carry a full

range of products, and allow it to control the brand message. Nike’s consumer plan is led by its Triple

Double strategy to double innovation, speed, and direct connections to consumers. Triple Double

includes cutting product creation times in half, increasing membership in Nike’s mobile apps, and

improving the selection of key franchises while reducing its styles by 25%. We think these strategies

will allow Nike to hold share and pricing. © Morningstar 2023. All Rights Reserved.

Although its recent results in China have been inconsistent due to supply issues, virus-related

restrictions, and a political controversy, we still believe Nike has a great opportunity for growth there

and in other emerging markets. The firm experienced double-digit annual sales growth in six of the past

eight years in greater China and, fueled by high government investment in athletics, we think it will do

so again after the current difficulties have passed. Moreover, with worldwide distribution and huge e-

commerce platform that exceeded $10 billion in fiscal 2022, Nike should benefit as more people in

China, Latin America, and other developing regions move into the middle class and gain broadband

access.

Bulls Say David Swartz, Senior Equity Analyst, 22 Dec 2022

u Nike has a great opportunity in fast-growing markets like China. More than 70% of Nike’s growth over

the next five years may come from outside North America.

u Nike’s Triple Double strategy of increased innovation, direct-to-consumer sales, and speed may improve

margins and share. Membership growth in its digital channel has exceeded expectations.

u We anticipate Nike’s gross margins will rise by about 30 basis points per year after fiscal 2024 through

automation, e-commerce, and higher prices. Nike is pulling back from undifferentiated retailers to

increase full-priced sales.

Bears Say David Swartz, Senior Equity Analyst, 22 Dec 2022

u As a worldwide business, Nike is exposed to global issues like the war in Ukraine, shipping delays,

currency volatility, and high input costs. Nike's long-term results could be affected if these problems

persist.

u Nike has recently suffered poor results in China as rising nationalism has boosted native brands and

virus-related restrictions have disrupted operations. Nike cannot afford to lose significant share in this

critical sportswear market.

u Nike has struggled to manage its inventory, requiring markdowns to clear excess product that have

negatively impacted margins.

Economic Moat David Swartz, Senior Equity Analyst, 21 Dec 2022

We assign a wide moat rating to Nike based on its intangible brand asset. Nike is the largest athletic

apparel company in the world, with nearly $47 billion in revenue in fiscal 2022. Its revenue has

increased in nine of the past 10 years, with the pandemic-affected fiscal 2021 as the sole exception.

Nike produces apparel and footwear for professional and amateur athletes, sports equipment, and

sports-inspired fashion for both athletes and nonathletes alike. As evidence of its competitive edge, the

firm's adjusted returns on invested capital, including goodwill, have averaged 37% over the past

decade. We forecast that the company's average annual adjusted ROICs, including goodwill, will exceed

its weighted average cost of capital over the next 20 years, as required for our wide moat rating. We

estimate Nike's weighted average cost of capital at 9% and expect its annual adjusted ROICs, including

goodwill, to average 63% over the next decade. We believe Nike has been the preferred sportswear

brand in the world since the 1980s and that it will remain so for many years.

Nike achieves premium pricing on many products, supporting our view of its brand power. Its

performance athletic shoes are the most expensive on the market. At footlocker.com, for example, Nike

produces most of the styles of men's performance basketball shoes that cost $170 or more per pair (as

of December 2022). Some fashionable Nike shoes retail for prices associated with luxury footwear

brands. For example, luxury retailer farfetch.com lists dozens of styles of Nike sneakers at prices above

$1,000 per pair. Moreover, as evidence of Nike's enduring popularity, older and limited-edition shoes are

regularly sold in resale markets for more than $10,000 per pair.

We believe Nike's wide moat is supported by its worldwide reach. The company ships products to more

than 190 countries, operates more than 1,000 stores (two thirds outside of the U.S.), and has another © Morningstar 2023. All Rights Reserved.

6,000 or so branded stores that are operated by franchisees. We estimate Nike's annual revenue to be

about double that of the world's second-largest sportswear firm, narrow-moat Adidas. Nike produced

$29 billion in fiscal 2022 footwear sales, more than the combined footwear sales of Adidas, Puma, and

no-moat Under Armour. It has market-leading share in footwear in all markets and major categories and

ships more than 800 million pairs of shoes per year. It is also the leader in athletic apparel, producing

$13.6 billion in apparel sales in fiscal 2022. Although Nike is an American brand, 59% of fiscal 2022

sales of the brand came from outside of North America. We believe that no athletic apparel company

will be able to approach its global market share in at least the next 20 years, supporting our view that it

has a wide moat.

Nike's brand is enhanced by its large e-commerce business in the U.S. and other countries. We estimate

that Nike generated more than $10 billion in e-commerce sales from its digital marketplaces in fiscal

2022, having grown from about $1.5 billion in fiscal 2015. Nike expects digital sales from its own

channels to increase to 40% of its sales in fiscal 2025, up from about 24% in fiscal 2022. We think this

growth is achievable as more consumers in developing markets (such as China, India, and Latin

America) move into the middle class and gain access to broadband services. Nike is investing heavily in

its digital services. Its apps, known as NikePlus, have about 160 million members. Its Training Club and

Run Club apps are the largest apps in their fields in the U.S. and Europe and its SNKRS app for hard-

core shoe collectors reportedly has several million members. Nike produces limited-edition products that

are exclusive to members of NikePlus. For example, more than one third of Cristiano Ronaldo's Mercurial

soccer cleats are available only on nike.com and its apps. Many Nike-sponsored athletes, including

Ronaldo, have tens and even hundreds of millions of social media followers. Nike uses their fame to

promote its products to a huge audience at relatively low cost. The firm supports its e-commerce with

some innovative digital products, such as NikeConnect, a service that allows people to take a picture of

a Nike product and identify it. This is a useful service, as Nike estimates there are 5 billion individual

Nike products in the world. We believe Nike's large digital community creates goodwill among its best

customers and promotes the brand. While other athletic apparel companies have e-commerce, none of

them have the reach of Nike. We think its apps support our wide moat rating.

Nike sponsors many of the world's most popular athletes and teams in virtually all major sports. Athletes

sponsored by Nike include Cristiano Ronaldo (football/soccer), LeBron James (basketball), Kevin Durant

(basketball), Mike Trout (baseball), Giancarlo Stanton (baseball), Rafael Nadal (tennis), Serena Williams

(tennis), Alex Morgan (soccer), Michael Jordan, and many track and field athletes. Teams and leagues

sponsored by Nike include the NFL, the NBA, many U.S. and international college teams, many national

soccer leagues, and the national soccer teams of numerous nations, including Brazil, France, and

England. In 2020, for the first time, Nike's swoosh logo appeared on the front of every Major League

Baseball uniform. Nike is the sponsor of choice for athletes and teams due to its status as the world's

largest apparel brand and the tremendous success of its nearly 40-year relationship with Michael

Jordan. LeBron James famously turned down more money from Reebok to sign with Nike in 2003,

ultimately dooming Reebok to irrelevance in basketball shoes. Whether sponsored or not, athletes all

over the world wear Nike apparel while competing. For example, its Mercurial line of soccer cleats is the

most popular brand in England's Premier League. Also, about three fourths of the players in the NBA

wear Nike or Jordan shoes. We expect Nike's powerful brand will continue to allow it to sign the key

endorsement deals that will keep it on top.

Nike's brands have proven staying power, supporting our view that it can continue to earn economic

profits for at least the next 20 years. Michael Jordan signed with Nike in 1984 and retired from

basketball in 2003. Many millennials are not even old enough to have seen him play. Yet, Nike's upscale

Jordan brand produced $5.1 billion in (wholesale-equivalent) sales in fiscal 2022. While Jordan is Nike's

biggest star, James' shoes have been big sellers for Nike since he was a teenager. He signed a new

contract with Nike in 2015 that will reportedly pay him $30 million per year until 2048 (when he

celebrates his 64th birthday). Nike, which ships about twice as many pairs of shoes worldwide as

Adidas, has developed franchises with unusual longevity. We think Nike's key brands support our view

that it has a wide moat based on its brand intangible asset.

We believe Nike's innovations contribute to its brand and support our wide-moat view. Nike has been

known for its innovative products ever since it introduced running shoes with pressurized air in their

soles in the 1980s. Nike frequently releases new styles of running shoes. Recent editions to its large

family of shoes include Epic React (foam cushioning), VaporMax (new style of Air), and shoes with

ZoomX technology. Nike claims the ZoomX substance was developed for the aerospace industry and

returns as much as 85% of energy to the runner. While it may be hard to prove this claim, Nike's

dominance in running shoes is clear as the category produces about $4 billion in sales for the company.

Most of the world's leading track and field athletes wear Nike shoes. Its innovations allow it to maintain

premium pricing. Many Nike running shoes, such as the best-selling Air Zoom Pegasus, sell at prices

over $100 per pair. Nike Air Vapor Max, which sell for about $200 per pair at Foot Locker and other

stores, reportedly became the best-selling running shoe above $150 per pair within months of its launch

in 2017. We believe Nike is the leader in sports performance technology, providing a persistent

competitive edge.

We do not believe Nike has a moat based on a cost advantage. While Nike may have some cost

advantage over competitors in sponsorships due to its status as the premier sportswear brand, we don't

view this as significant or maintainable. Moreover, while endorsements are great for brand building,

they are difficult to quantify in terms of profit margins. While Nike's low double-digit operating margins

are very good, it is difficult to know if endorsements play a major role. It is possible that the firm simply

has expense leverage due its size. Nike has limited advantage in product costs as virtually all its © Morningstar 2023. All Rights Reserved.

production is outsourced. Narrow-moat Shenzhou International, for example, is one of Nike's largest

suppliers but also produces apparel for narrow-moat Adidas, Puma, and others.

We do not believe Nike has a moat based on anything aside from its brand intangible asset. We do not

think it has a moat based on efficient scale. While Nike's financial resources and relationships with

suppliers likely allow for production investment unavailable to others in the short term, any advantage

in this area is likely to be transitory. Competitors can probably gain access to similar technologies.
