Our team is ready to go, and I'm confident you will see more moments of NIKE being NIKE again."

"NIKE's second-quarter financial performance largely met our expectations, as we continue to make progress in shifting our portfolio," said Matthew Friend, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, NIKE, Inc.

Second Quarter Income Statement Review

• Revenues for NIKE, Inc. were $12.4 billion, down 8 percent on a reported basis compared to the prior year and down 9 percent on a currency-neutral basis.
  • NIKE Brand revenues were $12.0 billion, down 7 percent on a reported basis and down 8 percent on a currency-neutral basis, driven by declines across all geographies.
  • NIKE Direct revenues were $5.0 billion, down 13 percent on a reported basis and down 14 percent on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to a 21 percent decrease in NIKE Brand Digital and a 2 percent decrease in NIKE-owned stores.
  • Wholesale revenues were $6.9 billion, down 3 percent on a reported basis and down 4 percent on a currency-neutral basis.
  • Revenues for Converse were $429 million, down 17 percent on a reported basis and down 18 percent on a currency-neutral basis, due to declines across all territories.
• Gross margin decreased 100 basis points to 43.6 percent, primarily due to higher discounts and changes in channel mix, partially offset by lower product input costs as well as lower warehousing and logistics costs.
• Selling and administrative expense decreased 3 percent to $4.0 billion.
  • Demand creation expense was $1.1 billion, up 1 percent, primarily due to an increase in sports marketing expense offset by a decrease in brand marketing expense.
  • Operating overhead expense decreased 5 percent to $2.9 billion, due to lower wage-related expenses and lower other administrative costs.
• The effective tax rate was 17.9 percent compared to 17.9 percent for the same period last year.
• Net income was $1.2 billion, down 26 percent, and Diluted earnings per share was $0.78, a decrease of 24 percent.

November 30, 2024 Balance Sheet Review

• Inventories for NIKE, Inc. were $8.0 billion, flat compared to the prior year, reflecting an increase in units offset by lower product input costs and product mix shifts.
• Cash and equivalents and short-term investments were $9.8 billion, down approximately $0.2 billion from last year, as cash generated by operations was more than offset by share repurchases, cash dividends and capital expenditures.

Shareholder Returns

NIKE continues to have a strong track record of consistently increasing returns to shareholders, including 23 consecutive years of increasing dividend payouts.

In the second quarter, the Company returned approximately $1.6 billion to shareholders, including:

• Dividends of $557 million, up 7 percent from the prior year.
• Share repurchases of $1.1 billion, reflecting 13.1 million shares retired as part of the Company’s four-year, $18 billion program approved by the Board of Directors in June 2022.

As of November 30, 2024, a total of 112.8 million shares have been repurchased under the program for a total of approximately $11.3 billion.

1The 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.

2 Global 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.

1 The Company evaluates the performance of individual operating segments based on earnings before interest and taxes (commonly referred to as "EBIT"), which represents Net income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense. Total NIKE Brand EBIT, Total NIKE, Inc. EBIT and EBIT margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company's performance, including when making financial and operating decisions. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional financial information that should be considered when assessing the Company’s underlying business performance and trends. EBIT margin is calculated as total NIKE, Inc. EBIT divided by total NIKE, Inc. Revenues. 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.
