Third Quarter Income Statement Review

Revenues for NIKE, Inc. were slightly up on both a reported and currency-neutral basis at $12.4 billion.
- Revenues for the NIKE Brand were $11.9 billion, up 2 percent on a reported and currency-neutral basis, as currency-neutral growth in North America, Greater China and APLA was offset by declines in EMEA.
- Revenues for Converse were $495 million, down 19 percent on a reported basis and down 20 percent on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to declines in North America and Europe.
Gross margin increased 150 basis points to 44.8 percent, primarily driven by strategic pricing actions and lower ocean freight and logistics costs, partially offset by higher product input costs and restructuring charges.
Selling and administrative expense increased 7 percent to $4.2 billion.
- Demand creation expense was $1.0 billion, up 10 percent, reflecting an increase in marketing expense.
- Operating overhead expense increased 6 percent to $3.2 billion, primarily due to restructuring charges, partially offset by lower wage-related expenses.
The effective tax rate was 16.5 percent compared to 16.0 percent for the same period last year.
Net income was $1.2 billion, down 5 percent, and Diluted earnings per share was $0.77, decreasing 3 percent.

February 29, 2024 Balance Sheet Review

Inventories for NIKE, Inc. were $7.7 billion, down 13 percent compared to the prior year, reflecting a decrease in units.
Cash and equivalents and short-term investments were $10.6 billion, down approximately $0.2 billion from last year, as cash generated by operations was more than offset by share repurchases, cash dividends, capital expenditures and bond repayment.

Shareholder Returns

¹ The percent change has been calculated using actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior year period and is provided to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends by excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure when evaluating the Company's performance, including when making financial and operating decisions. Additionally, management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with additional financial information that should be considered when assessing the Company’s underlying business performance and trends. References to this measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
²Global Brand Divisions revenues include NIKE Brand licensing and other miscellaneous revenues that are not part of a geographic operating segment.
³ Corporate revenues primarily consist of foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, but managed through the Company’s central foreign exchange risk management program.

References to EBIT and EBIT margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

¹Tax effect was determined by applying the tax rate applicable to the specific item.
²Diluted earnings per share excluding the restructuring charges is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most comparable GAAP measure is Diluted earnings per share. The Company uses Diluted earnings per share excluding the restructuring charges to facilitate the evaluation of the Company’s performance. The Company believes that providing Diluted earnings per share excluding the impacts of the restructuring charges is useful to investors for comparability between periods and allows investors to evaluate the impacts of the restructuring charges separately. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, there were no material restructuring charges impacting comparability.
