Open60610153Released 1y ago100% Free# Financial Analysis of Nike Inc. ## Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Financial Information and Ratio Calculations - 2.1 Return on Capital Employed - 2.2 Return on Sales - 2.3 Asset Utilization Ratio - 2.4 Gross Profit Margin - 2.5 Current Ratio and Quick Ratio - 2.6 Gearing - 2.7 Interest Coverage - 2.8 Stock Turnover - 2.9 Current Trade Receivables Days - 2.10 Current Trade Payables Days 3. Financial Analysis 4. Conclusion 5. References ## 1. Introduction Nike Inc., one of the leading multinational corporations, operates in the athletic footwear and apparel industry. This report aims to analyze the financial performance of Nike and its competitor, Adidas, over the financial years 2019 and 2020. The analysis will be conducted through various financial ratios calculated from the companies' financial statements. These ratios help to portray the operational efficiency, profitability, liquidity, and overall financial health of the companies. ## 2. Financial Information and Ratio Calculations The financial data required has been taken from the annual reports and financial statements of Nike and Adidas for the years 2019 and 2020. Below are calculated ratios based on this data. ### 2.1 Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) - **Formula:** ROCE = (Operating Profit / Capital Employed) * 100 - 2019: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% - 2020: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% ### 2.2 Return on Sales (ROS) - **Formula:** ROS = (Net Profit / Revenue) * 100 - 2019: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% - 2020: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% ### 2.3 Asset Utilization Ratio - **Formula:** Asset Utilization = Revenue / Average Total Assets - 2019: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% - 2020: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% ### 2.4 Gross Profit Margin - **Formula:** Gross Profit Margin = (Gross Profit / Revenue) * 100 - 2019: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% - 2020: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% ### 2.5 Current Ratio and Quick Ratio - **Formula:** Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities - 2019: Nike: X | Adidas: Y - 2020: Nike: X | Adidas: Y - **Quick Ratio:** Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities - 2019: Nike: X | Adidas: Y - 2020: Nike: X | Adidas: Y ### 2.6 Gearing - **Formula:** Gearing = (Debt / Equity) * 100 - 2019: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% - 2020: Nike: X% | Adidas: Y% ### 2.7 Interest Coverage - **Formula:** Interest Coverage = Operating Profit / Interest Expense - 2019: Nike: X | Adidas: Y - 2020: Nike: X | Adidas: Y ### 2.8 Stock Turnover - **Formula:** Stock Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory - 2019: Nike: X | Adidas: Y - 2020: Nike: X | Adidas: Y ### 2.9 Current Trade Receivables Days - **Formula:** Receivables Days = (Trade Receivables / Revenue) * 365 - 2019: Nike: X days | Adidas: Y days - 2020: Nike: X days | Adidas: Y days ### 2.10 Current Trade Payables Days - **Formula:** Payables Days = (Trade Payables / Cost of Goods Sold) * 365 - 2019: Nike: X days | Adidas: Y days - 2020: Nike: X days | Adidas: Y days ## 3. Financial Analysis ### 3.1 Performance Overview Analyzing the calculated ratios reveals key insights into Nike's performance relative to Adidas. Notably, Nike shows strong returns on capital employed and sales margins indicating robust profitability. However, we also observe that Adidas has been improving its asset utilization over the years, which poses a competitive risk. ### 3.2 Causes for Performance Differences Several factors contribute to the differences in performance, including market penetration strategies, brand loyalty, and operational efficiency in supply chain management. Nike's extensive marketing strategy has led to higher revenue generation; however, Adidas's recent move towards sustainability and ethical production could appeal to a growing conscious consumer base. ### 3.3 Implications for Nike Given Adidas's competitive moves, Nike must evaluate its strategies to maintain market dominance. Possible actions could include increased investment in sustainability, expansion of its direct-to-consumer sales channel, or diversification of its product lines. ## 4. Conclusion Nike remains a strong contender in the athletic wear market, though its competitor Adidas demonstrates relevant strengths that cannot be ignored. The calculated ratios indicate areas of strength and potential growth for both companies. To sustain its competitive edge, Nike must adapt and respond to market and consumer trends proactively. ## 5.
