In December, Nike reported strong sales growth for its November quarter, but a dip in future orders coupled with underwhelming margin expansion tempered the outlook.
World-wide orders of Nike apparel and footwear for delivery between December 2014 and April 2015 grew 7%, including currency changes, from the year prior. For the same period a year earlier, the Beaverton, Ore.-based company reported 12% growth.
The company said part of the slowdown was attributable to tough comparisons from the previous year, when demand surged ahead of the summer’s World Cup.
Mr. Campion, a former Walt Disney Co. executive, joined Nike in 2007 as the vice president of global planning and development.
Nike said in a filing that it will consider adjustments to Mr. Campion’s compensation during its annual review of executive compensation in June.
