Nike Inc. executives said yesterday during an earnings conference call with analysts that revenues from its Hurley and Converse businesses experienced high-teens growth in the quarter ended Nov. 30.
A strong performance from Hurley and Converse offset weaker results from Cole Haan and Nike Golf, the other companies that Nike groups together in a category it calls “other.”
Here are a few other interesting notes about Nike Inc. results:
– Overall, revenue for Nike Inc. grew 6 percent to $4.6 billion.
– Net income grew 9 percent to $391.0 million.
– At the end of the quarter, Nike had $2.7 billion in cash and $794 million in debt.
– Inventory was up 9 percent at the end of the quarter, higher than Nike would have liked.
