Nike Meets High Expectations in the Fourth Quarter
John Ballard, The Motley Fool
Motley Fool 30 June 2019
The leading athletic apparel brand turned in another round of solid operating results in the fiscal fourth quarter. Nike (NYSE: NKE) reported broad-based growth across geographies, footwear and apparel, and the men's and women's categories.
While management didn't knock investors' socks off with guidance, the outlook didn't disappoint, either, as the company expects current demand trends to continue in the year ahead.
Here are three highlights from the quarter that reveal a brand that is continuing to fire on all cylinders.

1. Innovation fuels revenue growth
Said Nike CEO Mark Parker:
Nike delivered strong results in fiscal year 2019, growing 11% on a currency-neutral basis, which outpaced our expectations from the beginning of the year. Our results are further proof that the demand for sport performance and athletic lifestyle product is thriving, and our Consumer Direct Offense is capturing more of that opportunity every day.
Total Nike brand revenue (excluding revenue from Converse and other corporate items) accelerated from 9% in the year-ago quarter to 10% in the most recent quarter. That doesn't sound like much, but it's noteworthy for a business that generated $39.1 billion in revenue over the last year.
What's more, Nike has seen much better performance in North America, where sales growth accelerated from a decline of 2% in fiscal 2018 to an increase of 7% in fiscal 2019. The acceleration was balanced across footwear and apparel, with footwear seeing the biggest jump in growth (no pun intended).
While sales of performance sneakers have been declining in recent years, lifestyle sneakers are experiencing rising demand. On that note, Parker stated that demand is so strong for Nike AIR that it is "outpacing supply."
Product innovation, including the React Element 55, 87, and Presto, in addition to AIR, drove more than 20% growth in sportswear in the fourth quarter. Parker said, "We see great opportunity for both platforms to continue to carve out new space in the lifestyle market."
2. Growth in women's sportswear
One significant opportunity for Nike is growing the women's category, which makes up less than a quarter of total revenue. The women's business has been growing slightly faster than men's lately. On this front, here's what Parker had to say:
It's hard to overstate how important this year has been to the evolution of the women's offense at Nike. The business grew double digits in fiscal 19 accelerating in the back half of the year. Our momentum in women's is a great example of how our renewed focus is really moving the needle through thoughtful design, powerful brand messages, and digitally led distribution.
An example of how Nike is winning with women is the Air Max Dia, a women's sneaker that was recently a best-seller and helped drive double-digit growth in the women's category last quarter.

Parker also explained how digital is a vital tool to connect with women and grow the business overall:
We continue to find that when we present product in more future-forward ways, we're able to take the female consumer someplace new. And they're responding. Our women's business in Nike Direct and through our digital platforms continues to outpace our performance in wholesale channels.
3. Digital momentum
Sales through Nike Direct (including company-owned stores) grew 16% in fiscal 2019 on a currency-neutral basis, while sales through digital platforms, like the SNKRS app and Nike.com, were up 35% year over year.
Nike now has 170 million members in the Nike Plus ecosystem, which is ahead of management's expectations. The SNKRS app has been incredibly valuable in fueling Nike's comeback in footwear recently. Last year, SNKRS saw tremendous growth, with revenue more than doubling, reaching more than $750 million, or 20% of Nike's digital business.
The Nike app provides the complete shopping experience on mobile for the brand, and growth has been incredibly strong here, too. Revenue increased at a triple-digit rate, and Nike is "just starting to roll it out globally," as CFO Andy Campion said. The Nike app will launch in China in fiscal 2020, the fastest-growing region for Nike, with revenue climbing 24% last year adjusted for currency.
Nike's outlook points to current demand trends continuing through the year ahead. Revenue is expected to be up in the high-single-digit range on a reported basis, slightly up from fiscal 2019. Management also expects balanced growth across all geographies.
More importantly, gross margin should improve by half a percentage point, thanks to Nike's strategy to release new products faster and generate higher full-price sell-through. Management said margin expansion would be even higher if not for investments to enhance the supply chain and inventory management.
The market's response was muted following the earnings announcement. The stock has had a good run over the last few years and sports a premium valuation, so a lot of Nike's business growth may already be priced into the stock price for now. But if Nike delivers on analysts' expectations for earnings to grow about 20% this year, the stock could still have room to run, both in the short and long term.

He is undertaking work as the DEMO Design Activity (DDA) leader from April 2020, in order to extensively contribute to the early realization of DEMO reactor.
Noriyoshi NAKAJIMA, Former Project Leader from 2010 to 2020
Born in 1956, Noriyoshi Nakajima entered the fusion community in Kyoto University. His first research target in his bachelor course was the collisional effects on ion cyclotron drift loss-cone instabilities in a simple mirror machine in terms of paper and a pencil. Since he felt limits of this purely theoretical approach in terms of paper and a pencil, he started the PIC (Particle In Cell) simulation in his master course on heating and current drive by Lower Hybrid wave in a slab-modeled tokamak, and recognized the usefulness of computer simulations, because many theoretically predicted phenomena were observed/reproduced by simulations qualitatively and/or semi-quantitatively (although the power of the computer was very limited, say, available memory was about 12 MB and the speed was about 0.2 M Flops). In his doctor course, he moved to Nagoya university, and started MHD simulation on nonlinear phenomena related to non-resonant modes in Reversed Field Pinch. In order to understand a nonlinear oscillation of non-resonant modes obtained by the simulations, he returned to the world of paper and a pencil, and found out that the nonlinear oscillation observed in the simulations was interpreted as the amplitude oscillation of the perturbation near the marginally stable state.
After getting the Ph.D. in 1987 and position in the Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP) of the Nagoya university, he worked on the analysis of the nonlinear behaviors of the MHD modes near the marginally stable state. According to the re-organization of IPP to National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), he started the research of the Helical Plasma, and was interested in the magnetic coordinates system based on the MHD equilibrium in the general torus system, which were used for MHD stability and neo-classical transport in his research field.

La soupe joumou (ou soupe au giraumon, en français) est une soupe traditionnelle de la cuisine haïtienne. Elle fait partie du patrimoine culturel d'Haiti. Depuis le , elle fait partie du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité.

Préparation
Elle est réalisée avec des giraumons, un genre de courge proche du potiron. On dit du giraumon qu'il est le potiron local des Antilles. Les tranches du giraumon sont mises à mijoter dans une casserole avec du bœuf, des pommes de terres, des bananes plantains et des légumes (persil, carottes, chou vert, céleri et oignons). Le tout est mixé et assaisonné avec de l'ail, des herbes et des épices. On y ajoute également des vermicelles, un peu de beurre et d'huile. La soupe est toujours servie chaude et parfois accompagnée de pain.

Symbolique

Autrefois, Haiti était une colonie française et avant l'indépendance du pays cette soupe était servie uniquement aux maîtres de plantations français, elle représentait un idéal inaccessible aux esclaves, malgré le fait qu'ils étaient les seuls à semer et cultiver ce précieux fruit.

La valeur historique et politique qui entoure cette soupe en Haïti vient du fait qu'au jour de l'indépendance du pays, c'est-à-dire le , la femme de Jean-Jacques Dessalines, dirigeant de la révolution haïtienne, autorisa la consommation de cette soupe à tous, aux esclaves comme aux passants dans le but de montrer au monde entier, particulièrement à la France, que Haïti était devenu un peuple libre et indépendant !

Désormais, elle fait partie du menu traditionnel du Nouvel An. Elle symbolise l'indépendance pour les Haïtiens car elle est cuisinée le  janvier de chaque année dans toutes les familles haïtiennes en mémoire du jour de la lecture de l'acte de l'indépendance aux Gonaïves par les pères fondateurs.

Dans certaines régions du pays, la soupe est consommée tous les dimanches. Cette tradition hebdomadaire viendrait du fait que dans certains villages, le marché a lieu le dimanche, les gens ont donc pris l'habitude de faire cette soupe afin de faire cuire les légumes invendus au marché du jour.

The kid reminded me of myself, so long ago. The way he leaned against the railing was the way I leaned against the railing, back when leaning against things was something done out of convenience instead of necessity. His eyes moved quick over the pods, trying to count them all, to take it all in, just like I did when I first woke up.
"How many are there?" he asked. It was my first question too.
"In this room, sixty five thousand, five hundred and thirty six." I knew he wouldn't believe me. I didn't believe it at first either, until I had counted them, adding my mark to each pod in order to keep track of them. My mark, added to the hundreds that already decorated each pod.
"A hundred and fifty thousand rooms, more or less." He looked at me as if I was going to elaborate, but I didn't. He would have to discover the dead rooms for himself, just like I did. Rooms where the power had died, and sixty five thousand, five hundred and thirty six human beings died a slow suffocating death in their sleep. He would have to go through those crypts without warning, taking in the horror of what can happen when things go wrong. Otherwise there is no sense of purpose. The dead rooms were something he would have to face on his own, so he knew the price of failure.
I gave him the tour, or at least as much as I could in my weakened state. The ship was too immense for me anymore. The mess hall, where he could eat. The entertainment rooms, to stop from going crazy. "There's more, there's always more," I told him as we pushed forward. "There's rooms I've never even been too, probably rooms I don't even know exist." He would spend the first days, months, years, searching the ship, discovering a place to call his own, before he got really serious about the tasks that would take up the rest of his life.
We finally reached the control room. When full, it would hold a hundred people, all essential to the piloting of the ship. Now, it held two people, and soon, just one.
"The thing is all automated, of course. No one expects us to steer this thing. There are instructions on what to do in case of emergencies, how to check life support, that kind of thing. You can go through it at your leisure. But there's one thing I want to show you." I woke the main control panel up, and hit a few buttons. The front of the room, a wall colored a dull white, turned black. The occasional point of light would fly past, providing a brief point of reference.
I watched his face. I wanted to see his reaction, the same reason I had taken him into one of the storage room. His eyes, so much like mine, were wide, and I smiled. His reactions were just like mine when I first woke up, and an old man had taken me on a tour much like this one. "That's… space?" he asked.
I stood up, wincing. "The ship is yours now." I said and turned, limping towards the door of the control room. He stood there, and I knew what he was going through, the enormity of the task settling in.
"Wait!" he said. My back to him, I smiled. I was expecting that. "What.. where are you going?" "To sleep," I said, not turning around before walking through the door, leaving him behind.
He'll do fine, I knew. I did fine. The man before me did fine, And before him, and him, and him, back and back forever. After a long walk I found my pod, the one I had been awaken from so long ago. Climbing in was hard, my joints not moving like they used to, but I made it, and squirmed around until I was comfortable. The lid closed automatically, and the hissing of gas was the last thing I heard before falling asleep for the last time.

The Center for Reconstructive Urology
Located at the University of California, Irvine in Orange County, CA, the Center for Reconstructive Urology was established in 1998 as the first regional, national, and international tertiary referral center in the Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego area dedicated to the treatment of disorders of the male urethra and external genitalia. In addition to patient care, our mission includes clinical and laboratory research and teaching.
Diseases treated include urethral stricture disease, curvature of the penis from Peyronie's disease and other causes, erectile dysfunction, also called ED and impotence, including penile prosthesis (also called a penile implant) placement or revision, hypospadias, complications from prostate cancer treatment with radiation or surgery, and other disorders of the male external genitalia such as scrotal lymphedema and hidradenitis.
Treatment of Multiple Conditions
A leading expert in male urethral and penile reconstructive surgery
A urethral stricture is a narrowing or stenosis of part of the urethra. Our Center offers curative surgery called urethroplasty as an alternative to repeated urethral dilations.
Peyronie's Disease and other discorders such as congenital curvature cause a bending of the penis during erections that can be sexually disabling, but the penis can be straightened.
The inability to obtain adequate rigidity or maintain an erection can be treated medically, and when medical options fail, we offer penile implant surgery.
In complete development of the male urethra is often repaired surgically, but these surgeries can cause urethral stricture. We specialize in the treatment of complex hypospadias and surgical complications.
Prostate cancer treatment with surgery, radiation, or HIFU can cause urethral strictures and/or urinary incontinence and these complications can be effectively treated to improve quality of life for prostate cancer survivors.
Our Center that is exclusively specialized in treating male urethral and genital disorders offers treatment for disorders of scrotal enlargement including scrotal lymphedema, hidradenitis, and the complications of penile enlargement surgery.
Dr. Joel Gelman, the Director of the Center for Reconstructive Urology, and Clinical Professor of Urology at the University of California, Irvine, is a leading expert in male urethral and penile reconstructive surgery. Dr. Gelman is fellowship trained and his practice is exclusively devoted to surgery of the male urethra and external genitalia. He has performed over 1,400 successful reconstructive surgeries during the past 16 years at UC, Irvine, more than any other currently practicing Fellowship Trained Urologist in California. Over 300 Urologists have referred their patients to Dr. Gelman when their patients have required complex urethral, penile, or scrotal surgery. Although most patients are referred to the Center for Reconstructive Urology by their local Urologists, we also accept and welcome new patients without referral. Those patients who have urethral stricture disease often benefit from a urethral valuation at the time of the initial consultation. Dr. Gelman has performed over 2,000 urethral imaging studies (retrograde urethrogram RUG and voiding cystourethrogram VCUG) and personally performs all of the urethral imaging at our state-of-the-art imaging facility without our Clinic in the Department of Urology at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center in Orange, CA.
In addition to specific information about the care we provide to our patients at the Center for Reconstructive Urology, our website contains detailed educational information in the Conditions section. Here you can learn about the causes, symptoms, tests used to make a diagnosis, and the treatment options for urethral stricture disease, including urethroplasty (surgery to repair or reconstruct the urethra), Peyronie's Disease, Erectile Dysfunction, Hypospadias, Prostate Cancer Treatment Complications, Male Incontinence, and other male urethral and genital disorders including rare diseases such as Lichen Sclerosis – Scleroses, also known as Balanitis Xerotica Oblitarans or BXO, Lymphedema, and Hidradenitis. In summary, our Center is exclusively specialized in the treatment of disorders of the male urethra, penis, and external genitalia.
All services are provided at the UC, Irvine Medical Center located in Orange, California. However, The Center For Reconstructive Urology is a professional practice separate and independent from the UCI Medical Center and Medical Group.
