Columbia Sportswear’s annual revenue in fiscal year 2022 was approximately $3.5 billion. The company reported net sales of $3.464 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, which rounds to $3.5 billion.
That figure represented an 11 percent increase from 2021, when Columbia recorded about $3.126 billion in net sales. The 2022 result was a company record at the time and reflected revenue from Columbia’s outdoor apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment businesses, along with its other brands.
The question asks for annual revenue in billions, so the intended answer is the rounded figure rather than the precise accounting number. A common mistake is choosing $5.0 billion by confusing Columbia’s sales with the much larger revenues of another global sportswear company. Revenue also differs from profit: Columbia’s 2022 net sales were $3.464 billion, while operating income was substantially lower.
