Q2. Analyzing and Interpreting Disclosure on Contract Manufacturers
Nike, Inc. reports the following information relating to its manufacturing activities in footnotes to its 10-K report for the year ended May 31, 2013.
Manufacturing: Virtually all of our footwear is manufactured outside of the United States by indepdendent contract manufacturers. In fiscal 2013, contract factories in Vietnam, China, and Indonesia manufactured approximately 42%, 30%, and 26% of total NIKE Brand footwear, respectively
We also have manufacturing agreements with independent factories in Argentina, Brazil, India, and Mexico to manufacture footwear for sale primarily within those countries. The largest single footwear factory with which we have contracted accounted for approximately 6% of total fiscal 2013 NIKE Brand footwear production. Almost all of NIKE Brand apparel is manufactured outside of the United State by independent contract manufacturers located in 28 countries. Most of this apparel production occurred in China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Malaysia, Turkey, Mexico, and Cambodia. The largest single apparel factory that we have contracted with accounted for approximately 6% of total fiscal 2013 apparel production.
