Nike to fully exit Russia, will scale down over coming months
Reuters
U.S. sportswear maker Nike is making a full exit from Russia, three months after suspending its operations there, the company said in an emailed statement Thursday.
Nike said on March 3 it would temporarily suspend operations at all its Nike-owned and -operated stores in Russia in response to Moscow's actions in Ukraine, adding that those still open were operated by independent partners.
On Thursday, it joined other major Western brands like McDonald's and Google in confirming it will leave the country completely.
Foreign companies seeking to exit Russia over the war in Ukraine face the prospect of new laws being passed in the coming weeks allowing Moscow to seize assets and impose criminal penalties. That has encouraged some businesses to accelerate their departure.
“NIKE has made the decision to leave the Russian marketplace. Our priority is to ensure we are fully supporting our employees while we responsibly scale down our operations over the coming months,” the firm said in an emailed statement.
For Nike, which gets less than 1% of its revenue from Ukraine and Russia combined, the move is largely symbolic rather than material to its results.
The company has a history of taking a stand on social and political issues, from supporting American football quarterback Colin Kaepernick in his decision to kneel during the national anthem as a protest against racism, to dropping Brazilian soccer star Neymar last year because he refused to cooperate in an investigation into sexual assault allegations.
Russian media reported in May that Nike had not renewed agreements with its largest franchisee in Russia, Inventive Retail Group (IRG), which operates 37 Nike-branded stores in Russia through its subsidiary Up And Run.
Shares in Nike were up nearly 1% in premarket U.S. trading.
Nike Decides to Leave Russia Entirely Following Ukraine Invasion
Bloomberg
Nike Inc. is leaving the Russian market entirely after suspending operations in March.
The world’s largest athletic-wear maker halted sales in Russia earlier this year following that nation’s invasion of Ukraine, telling customers that it couldn’t guarantee product shipments. It had more than 100 stores in Russia.
“Nike Inc. has made the decision to leave the Russian marketplace,” the company said in a statement Thursday. “Our priority is to ensure we are fully supporting our employees while we responsibly scale down our operations over the coming months.”
Nike doesn’t break out sales for Russia. Revenue from its Europe, the Middle East and Africa region accounted for $11.5 billion, or about 26% of total sales, in 2021.
