Thanks to its robust direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales strategy, better inventory management and a rebound in China, Nike is finding itself in a better position than expected.The company reported its revenue for the third fiscal quarter to be $12.4 billion, above projections of $11.48 billion, marking a 14% increase from the previous year, during the company’s Q3 earnings call Tuesday (March 21).Nike also noted that its direct sales, which include its website and owned-and-operated stores, outperformed, with member buying frequency increasing and store sales growing across all geographies, leading to a rise of 17% year over year to $5.3 billion. Its brand digital sales rose 20%.“Nike’s strong results in the third quarter offer continued proof of the success of our Consumer Direct Acceleration strategy,” Nike President and CEO John Donahoe said in an earnings release.How Nike Handled InventoryOne of Nike’s significant challenges in the past year was its surplus inventory, which the company has made strides in addressing. To offload excess merchandise, the company dabbled in discounts during the holiday season. And despite China’s “zero-COVID” policy, Nike was able to obtain single-digit growth in the country, which is deemed notable as the policy imposed by the government caused store closures and lockdowns affecting Nike and its competitors.After several quarters of struggle, Nike began to see progress in the region when China eased some of the restrictions in November and December. Nike also leaned into developing new products and partnerships.According to Nike’s earnings release, the company holds $8.9 billion worth of inventory, which is 16% higher than in the same period last year. The increase is mainly attributed to “higher product input costs and elevated freight costs.” However, the sportswear giant noted this is an improvement compared to the previous two fiscal quarters, when Nike had $9.7 billion and $9.3 billion in inventory, respectively.Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Matt Friend mentioned on the call that in January, Nike witnessed an increase in in-store traffic, especially around the Chinese New Year, and this momentum continued into February
