It also has a licensed store presence in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The company had global sales of $8 billion last year.Jefferies analyst Jonathan Matuszewski said that about 33% of Foot Locker’s sales come from outside the United States. He anticipates that the combined company would generate approximately 12% of sales internationally on a pro forma basis.
