Why It Matters

Nike hatte in den vergangenen Jahren stark auf Direktvertrieb gesetzt, wodurch Einzelhandelspartner an Bedeutung verloren und konkurrierende Marken Regalplätze gewinnen konnten. Dies führte zu Umsatzdruck im US-Markt.

Beaverton. Der Adidas-Rivale Nike greift zu einem verschärften Sparkurs, um aus seiner teilweise hausgemachten Krise zu kommen. Das Sanierungsprogramm soll über die kommenden Jahre Einsparungen von 2,5 Milliarden Dollar bringen, kündigte der Sportartikel-Konzern bei der Vorlage von Quartalszahlen an. Zu den Maßnahmen wird auch Stellenabbau gehören, sagte Nike-Chef Elliott Hill in einer Telefonkonferenz mit Analysten.

Im vergangenen Quartal fiel der Umsatz im Jahresvergleich um vier Prozent auf 11,2 Milliarden Dollar. Unterm Strich sank der Gewinn um zwei Prozent auf 712 Millionen Dollar. Die Verbraucher seien zurückhaltend bei ihren Ausgaben, sagte Hill. Für das noch bis Ende Mai 2027 laufende Geschäftsjahr stellte Nike einen Umsatzrückgang im hohen einstelligen Prozentbereich in Aussicht. Die Aktie fiel im nachbörslichen US-Handel zeitweise um rund vier Prozent.

Nike sucht den Weg aus einem Tief, in das sich das Unternehmen selbst manövriert hatte. Der Konzern setzte in den vergangenen Jahren auf Kosten des Einzelhandels sehr stark auf den Direktvertrieb. Vor allem im US-Markt konnten daher konkurrierende Marken Nike den Regalplatz in den Geschäften abnehmen - die Verkäufe litten darunter. Das Unternehmen bemüht sich nun um ein besseres Verhältnis zu seinen Einzelhandelspartnern.
