For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, our consolidated gross margin was 300 basis points lower than the prior year and primarily reflected the following factors:
•Lower margin in our NIKE Direct business, driven by higher promotional activity in the current period, largely in North America to liquidate excess inventory (decreasing margin approximately 160 basis points);
•Unfavorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates, including hedges, (decreasing gross margin approximately 90 basis points); and
•Lower NIKE Brand full-price product margins, on a wholesale equivalent basis, (decreasing gross margin approximately 20 basis points) reflecting:
◦Higher NIKE Brand product costs, (decreasing margin approximately 430 basis points) primarily due to product mix, elevated inbound freight and logistics costs, and product input costs such as materials and labor; and
◦Higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, (increasing gross margin approximately 410 basis points) due primarily to product mix and strategic pricing actions.
For the first six months of fiscal 2023, our consolidated gross margin was 260 basis points lower than the prior year period and primarily reflected the following factors:
•Lower margin in our NIKE Direct business, driven by higher promotional activity in the current period, largely in North America to liquidate excess inventory (decreasing margin approximately 120 basis points);
•Unfavorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates, including hedges, (decreasing gross margin approximately 80 basis points);
•Higher other costs (decreasing gross margin approximately 60 basis points); and

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022
Demand creation expense increased 8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily due to an increase in advertising and marketing expenses. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased Demand creation expense by approximately 7 percentage points.
Operating overhead expense increased 10% primarily due to higher wage-related expenses, higher strategic technology investments and higher NIKE Direct costs. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased Operating overhead expense by approximately 5 percentage points.
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2022
Demand creation expense increased 6% for the first six months of fiscal 2023 primarily due to higher advertising and marketing expenses. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased Demand creation expense by approximately 6 percentage points.
Operating overhead expense increased 11% primarily due to an increase in wage-related expenses, higher strategic technology investments and higher NIKE Direct costs. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased Operating overhead expense by approximately 4 percentage points.

Other (income) expense, net | $ | (79) | | $ | (102) | | | $ | (225) | | $ | (141) | | | |
Other (income) expense, net comprises foreign currency conversion gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and the impact of certain foreign currency derivative instruments, as well as unusual or non-operating transactions that are outside the normal course of business.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, Other (income) expense, net decreased from $102 million of other income to $79 million in the current year, largely due to the loss recognized upon the completion of the sale of our entities in Argentina and Uruguay to a third-party distributor, partially offset by a favorable change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, including hedges.
For the first six months of fiscal 2023, Other (income) expense, net increased from $141 million of other income to $225 million in the current year, primarily due to a favorable change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, including hedges, and settlements of legal matters, partially offset by the loss recognized upon the completion of the sale of our entities in Argentina and Uruguay to a third-party distributor and favorable activity in the prior year related to our strategic distributor partnership transition within APLA.
For more information related to our distributor partnership transition within APLA, see Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We estimate the combination of the translation of foreign currency-denominated profits from our international businesses and the year-over-year change in foreign currency-related gains and losses included in Other (income) expense, net had unfavorable impacts of approximately $174 million and $361 million on our Income before income taxes for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
Our operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company's internal organization. The NIKE Brand segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE Brand sales activity.
Each NIKE Brand geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and selling of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment. The Company's reportable operating segments for the NIKE Brand are: North America; Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA); Greater China; and Asia Pacific & Latin America (APLA), and include results for the NIKE and Jordan brands. The Company's NIKE Direct operations are managed within each geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable operating segment for the Company and operates predominately in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of athletic lifestyle sneakers, apparel and accessories.
As part of our centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency exchange rates are assigned twice per year to each NIKE Brand entity in our geographic operating segments and Converse. These rates are set approximately nine and twelve months in advance of the future selling seasons to which they relate (specifically, for each currency, one standard rate applies to the fall and holiday selling seasons and one standard rate applies to the spring and summer selling seasons) based on average market spot rates in the calendar month preceding the date they are established. Inventories and Cost of sales for geographic operating segments and Converse reflect the use of these standard rates to record non-functional currency product purchases into the entity's functional currency. Differences between assigned standard foreign currency exchange rates and actual market rates are included in Corporate, together with foreign currency hedge gains and losses generated from our centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program and other conversion gains and losses.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, North America revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 31%, due primarily to higher revenues in Men's. NIKE Direct revenues increased 23%, driven by strong digital sales growth of 31%, comparable store sales growth of 9% and the addition of new stores.
Footwear revenues increased 39% on a currency-neutral basis, driven by higher revenues in Men's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 37%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 2 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to higher full-price ASP, partially offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP, reflecting higher promotional activity, and a lower mix of full-price sales.
On a currency-neutral basis, apparel revenues increased 14%, driven by higher revenues in Men's. Unit sales of apparel increased 15%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 1 percentage point. Lower ASP was primarily due to lower NIKE Direct ASP, reflecting higher promotional activity, and a lower mix of full-price sales, partially offset by higher full-price ASP.
Reported EBIT increased 21% primarily due to higher revenues, partially offset by gross margin contraction and higher selling and administrative expense. Gross margin decreased approximately 320 basis points largely driven by lower margin in our NIKE Direct business due to higher promotional activity, higher product costs reflecting input costs and inbound freight and logistics costs, and a lower mix of full-price sales. This was partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, driven by strategic pricing actions and product mix. Selling and administrative expense increased due to higher operating overhead and demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense increased primarily due to an increase in wage-related expenses and increased NIKE Direct costs. The increase in demand creation expense reflected higher sports marketing expenses and an increase in digital marketing investments.
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, North America revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2023 increased 21%, due primarily to higher revenues in Men's and the Jordan Brand. NIKE Direct revenues increased 18%, driven by strong digital sales growth of 25%, comparable store sales growth of 6% and the addition of new stores.
Footwear revenues increased 27% on a currency-neutral basis, largely driven by higher revenues in Men's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 22%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 5 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to higher full-price ASP, partially offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP, reflecting higher promotional activity.
On a currency-neutral basis, apparel revenues increased 10%, driven primarily by higher revenues in Men's. Unit sales of apparel increased 10%, while ASP per unit remained flat, as higher full-price ASP was offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP, reflecting higher promotional activity.
Reported EBIT increased 8% primarily due to higher revenues, partially offset by gross margin contraction and higher selling and administrative expense. Gross margin decreased approximately 390 basis points primarily due to higher product costs, reflecting higher input costs and increased inbound freight and logistics costs, lower margins in our NIKE Direct business due to higher promotional activity, a lower mix of full-price sales and higher other costs, in part due to inventory obsolescence. This was partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, largely due to product mix and strategic pricing actions. Selling and administrative expense increased due to higher operating overhead and demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense increased primarily as a result of higher wage-related costs, lower bad debt recoveries and increased NIKE Direct costs. The increase in demand creation expense reflected higher sports marketing expenses and an increase in digital marketing investments, partially offset by lower advertising and marketing expense.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, EMEA revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 33%, primarily driven by growth in Men's. NIKE Direct revenues increased 44%, driven by strong digital sales growth of 62% and comparable store sales growth of 24%, partially offset by store closures.
Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 37%, driven by higher revenues in Men's, the Jordan Brand and Women's. Unit sales of footwear increased 18%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 19 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to higher full-price ASP, as well as the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.
Currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 28% due primarily to higher revenues in Men's. Unit sales of apparel increased 11%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 17 percentage points of apparel revenue growth, primarily due to higher full-price ASP.
Reported EBIT increased 23% primarily due to higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expenses, partially offset by gross margin contraction. Gross margin decreased approximately 70 basis points primarily due to higher product costs reflecting input costs and increased inbound freight and logistics costs, higher other costs including inventory obsolescence, lower margins in our NIKE Direct business reflecting higher promotional activity and lower mix of full-price sales. This activity was partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, in part due to strategic pricing actions, and higher off-price margin. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation and operating overhead expense. Lower demand creation expense was driven by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower sports marketing expenses, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by increased wage-related expenses, increased travel and related expense and lower bad debt recoveries.
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, EMEA revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2023 increased 25%, due primarily to higher revenues in Men’s. NIKE Direct revenues increased 32% primarily due to strong digital sales growth of 55% as well as comparable store sales growth of 12%, partially offset by store closures.
Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 27%, driven by higher revenues led by Men's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 9%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 18 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs, as well as the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.
Currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 22% due primarily to higher revenues in Men's. Unit sales of apparel increased 9%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 13 percentage points of apparel revenue growth, primarily due to higher full-price ASP, partially offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP.
Reported EBIT increased 17% due to higher revenues and gross margin expansion as well as lower selling and administrative expense. Gross margin increased approximately 160 basis points primarily due to higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, in part due to strategic pricing actions and higher off-price margin. This activity was partially offset by higher product costs reflecting increased inbound freight and logistics costs and higher other costs including inventory obsolescence. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower operating overhead expense, partially offset by higher demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by increased wage-related expenses, increased travel and related expense and lower bad debt recoveries. Higher demand creation expense was primarily due to higher advertising and marketing expense, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, Greater China revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 6%.The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher revenues in the Jordan Brand. NIKE Direct revenues increased 4% due to digital sales growth of 9% and the addition of new stores, partially offset by comparable store sales declines of 4%, in part due to reduced physical traffic as a result of COVID-19 related disruptions.
Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 21%, driven primarily by higher revenues in the Jordan Brand and Men's. Unit sales of footwear increased 15%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 6 percentage points of footwear revenue growth, driven by higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs, as well as a higher mix of full-price sales.
Currency-neutral apparel revenues decreased 24%, due primarily to lower revenues in Men's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of apparel decreased 28%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 4 percentage points of apparel revenue growth, primarily due to higher full-price ASP and a higher mix of full-price sales, partially offset by lower NIKE Direct and off-price ASPs.
Reported EBIT decreased 10% as lower revenues and gross margin contraction more than offset lower selling and administrative expense. Gross margin decreased approximately 110 basis points, primarily due to higher product costs reflecting product mix and higher input costs, lower margins in our NIKE Direct business, partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, favorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates and a higher mix of full-price sales. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation and operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was primarily due to lower retail brand presentation expense, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower investments in digital marketing, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expense. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher wage-related expenses and other administrative costs.
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, Greater China revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2023 decreased 4%, reflecting impacts from COVID-19 related disruptions. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower revenues in Men’s and Women's, partially offset by growth in the Jordan Brand. NIKE Direct revenues increased 1% due to the addition of new stores and a 3% increase in digital sales. This increase was partially offset by comparable store sales declines of 4% in part due to lower physical retail traffic as a result of COVID-19 related disruptions.
Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 4%, driven primarily by higher revenues in the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 1%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 3 percentage points of footwear revenue growth, primarily due to higher NIKE Direct and full-price ASPs and a higher mix of full-price sales, partially offset by lower off-price ASP.
Currency-neutral apparel revenues decreased 21%, due primarily to lower revenues in Men's. Unit sales of apparel decreased 16%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 5 percentage points, primarily due to lower NIKE Direct and off-price ASPs.
Reported EBIT decreased 17% due to lower revenues and gross margin contraction, partially offset by lower selling and administrative expense. Gross margin decreased approximately 80 basis points, primarily due to higher product costs reflecting product mix and higher input costs and lower margins in our NIKE Direct business. This activity was partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts and favorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates. Selling and administrative
expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense, partially offset by higher operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was primarily due to lower retail brand presentation costs, lower investments in digital marketing and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expense. Operating overhead expense increased largely due to higher wage-related expenses and other administrative costs, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

As discussed previously, our NIKE Brand business in Brazil transitioned to a distributor operating model during fiscal 2021. We completed the sale of our entity in Chile and our entities in Argentina and Uruguay to third-party distributors in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2023, respectively, and the impacts from closing these transactions are included within Corporate and are not reflected in the APLA operating segment results. This completes the transition of our NIKE Brand businesses in these markets to a distributor operating model. Our CASA marketplace now reflects a full distributor operating model. For more information see Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, APLA revenues increased 34% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase was due to higher revenues across nearly all territories, led by Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia & India, which increased 42%, 37% and 61%, respectively. The transition of our Chile, Argentina and Uruguay entities to a third-party distributor operating model reduced APLA revenue growth by approximately 7 percentage points. Revenues increased primarily due to growth in Men's, Women's and the Jordan Brand. NIKE Direct revenues increased 30%, primarily due to digital sales growth of 35% and comparable store sales growth of 33% in part due to improved physical retail traffic, partially offset by stores included in the sale of our Chile, Argentina and Uruguay entities.
Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 40%, due primarily to higher revenues in Men's, Women's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 38%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 2 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was largely driven by higher full-price ASP.
Currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 24%, due primarily to higher revenues in Men's, Women's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of apparel increased 22%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 2 percentage points of apparel revenue growth, driven by higher full-price ASP, partially offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP.
Reported EBIT increased 25% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, as higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expense more than offset gross margin contraction. Gross margin decreased approximately 190 basis points due to higher product costs reflecting increased inbound freight and logistics costs. This was partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, in part due to strategic pricing actions, lower other costs including warehousing and favorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense, partially offset by higher operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower investments in digital marketing, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expense. Operating overhead expense increased largely due to higher wage-related costs and higher professional services expenses, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2022
On a currency-neutral basis, APLA revenues increased 25% for the first six months of fiscal 2023. The increase was due to higher revenues across nearly all territories, led by Korea, Southeast Asia & India, Japan and Pacific, which increased 30%, 63%, 18% and 39%, respectively. Additionally, the transition of our Chile, Argentina and Uruguay entities to a third-party distributor operating model reduced APLA growth by approximately 4 percentage points. Revenues increased primarily due to higher revenues in Men’s, Women's and the Jordan Brand. NIKE Direct revenues increased 30%, primarily due to digital sales growth of 32%, comparable store sales growth of 28%, in part due to improved physical retail traffic, and the addition of new stores.
Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 27%, due primarily to higher revenues in Men's, Women's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 18%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 9 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was driven by higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs, as well as the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.
Currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 22%, due primarily to higher revenues in Men's. Unit sales of apparel increased 20%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 2 percentage points of apparel revenue growth, driven by higher full-price ASP, partially offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP.
Reported EBIT increased 13% for the first six months of fiscal 2023 as a result of higher revenues, partially offset higher selling and administrative expense as well as gross margin contraction. Gross margin decreased approximately 50 basis points primarily due to higher product costs, reflecting inbound freight and logistics costs, partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, in part due to strategic pricing actions, and favorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates. Selling and administrative expense increased due to higher operating overhead expense, partially offset by lower demand creation expense. The increase in operating overhead expense was primarily due to higher wage-related expenses and professional services costs, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Demand creation expense decreased primarily due to favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower investments in digital marketing, partially offset by higher sports marketing expenses.

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 our central foreign exchange risk management program.
The Corporate loss before interest and taxes primarily consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments; depreciation and amortization related to our corporate headquarters; unallocated insurance, benefit and compensation programs, including stock-based compensation; and certain foreign currency gains and losses.
In addition to the foreign currency gains and losses recognized in Corporate revenues, foreign currency results in Corporate include gains and losses resulting from the difference between actual foreign currency exchange rates and standard rates used to record non-functional currency denominated product purchases within the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse; related foreign currency hedge results; conversion gains and losses arising from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies; and certain other foreign currency derivative instruments.
SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022
Corporate's loss before interest and taxes increased $241 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to the following:
•an unfavorable change of $149 million related to the difference between actual foreign currency exchange rates and standard foreign currency exchange rates assigned to the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, net of hedge gains and losses; these results are reported as a component of consolidated gross margin;
•an unfavorable change of $149 million primarily related to the loss recognized upon the sale of our entities in Argentina and Uruguay to a third-party distributor; these results are reported as a component of consolidated Other (income) expense, net;
•a favorable change in net foreign currency gains and losses of $141 million related to the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and the impact of certain foreign currency derivative instruments, reported as a component of consolidated Other (income) expense, net; and
•an unfavorable change of $84 million primarily related to increased wage-related expenses, reported as a component of consolidated Operating overhead expense.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXPOSURES AND HEDGING PRACTICES
OVERVIEW
As a global company with significant operations outside the United States, in the normal course of business we are exposed to risk arising from changes in currency exchange rates. Our primary foreign currency exposures arise from the recording of transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and the translation of foreign currency denominated results of operations, financial position and cash flows into U.S. Dollars.
Our foreign exchange risk management program is intended to lessen both the positive and negative effects of currency fluctuations on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We manage global foreign exchange risk centrally on a portfolio basis to address those risks material to NIKE, Inc. Our hedging policy is designed to partially or entirely offset the impact of exchange rate changes on the underlying net exposures being hedged. Where exposures are hedged, our program has the effect of delaying the impact of exchange rate movements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; the length of the delay is dependent upon hedge horizons. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company's hedging program or strategy from what was disclosed within the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements and Note 8 — Risk Management and Derivatives in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional description of outstanding derivatives at each reported period end. For additional information about our Foreign Currency Exposures and Hedging Practices refer to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022.
TRANSACTIONAL EXPOSURES
We conduct business in various currencies and have transactions which subject us to foreign currency risk. Our most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are:
•Product Costs — Product purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting entity and factory input costs from the foreign currency adjustments program with certain factories.
•Non-Functional Currency Denominated External Sales — A portion of our NIKE Brand and Converse revenues associated with European operations are earned in currencies other than the Euro (e.g., the British Pound) but are recognized at a subsidiary that uses the Euro as its functional currency. These sales generate a foreign currency exposure.
•Other Costs — Non-functional currency denominated costs, such as endorsement contracts, also generate foreign currency risk, though to a lesser extent.
•Non-Functional Currency Denominated Monetary Assets and Liabilities — Our global subsidiaries have various monetary assets and liabilities, primarily receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables and payables, denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. These balance sheet items are subject to remeasurement which may create fluctuations in Other (income) expense, net within our consolidated results of operations.
MANAGING TRANSACTIONAL EXPOSURES
Transactional exposures are managed on a portfolio basis within our foreign currency risk management program. We manage these exposures by taking advantage of natural offsets and currency correlations that exist within the portfolio and may also elect to use currency forward and option contracts to hedge the remaining effect of exchange rate fluctuations on probable forecasted future cash flows, including certain product cost exposures, non-functional currency denominated external sales and other costs described above. Generally, these are accounted for as cash flow hedges, except for hedges of the embedded derivative components of the product cost exposures and other contractual agreements.
Certain currency forward contracts used to manage the foreign exchange exposure of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities subject to remeasurement and embedded derivative contracts are not formally designated as hedging instruments and are recognized in Other (income) expense, net.
TRANSLATIONAL EXPOSURES
Many of our foreign subsidiaries operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates create volatility in our reported results as we are required to translate the balance sheets, operational results and cash flows of these subsidiaries into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting. The translation of foreign subsidiaries' non-U.S. Dollar denominated balance sheets into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting results in a cumulative translation adjustment to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within Shareholders' equity. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated Revenues was a detriment of approximately $1.1 billion and $2.0 billion for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, respectively, and a benefit of approximately $63 million and $445 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a detriment of approximately $316 million and $569 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, respectively, and a benefit of approximately $12 million and $129 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, respectively.
Management generally identifies hyper-inflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. Management has concluded our Turkey subsidiary within our EMEA operating segment is operating in a hyper-inflationary markets. As a result, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the functional currency of our Turkey subsidiary, changed from the local currency to the U.S. Dollar. As of and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, this change did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition, and we do not anticipate it will have a material impact in future periods based on current rates.
Prior to the completion of the sale of our Argentina entity within our APLA operating segment during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, Management concluded this subsidiary was operating in a hyper-inflationary market. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the functional currency of our Argentina subsidiary changed from the local currency to the U.S. Dollar. As of and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, this change did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
MANAGING TRANSLATIONAL EXPOSURES
To minimize the impact of translating foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting, certain foreign subsidiaries use excess cash to purchase U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale investments. The variable future cash flows associated with the purchase and subsequent sale of these U.S. Dollar denominated investments at non-U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiaries creates a foreign currency exposure that qualifies for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP. We utilize forward contracts and/or options to mitigate the variability of the forecasted future purchases and sales of these U.S. Dollar investments. The combination of the purchase and sale of the U.S. Dollar investment and the hedging instrument has the effect of partially offsetting the year-over-year foreign currency translation impact on net earnings in the period the investments are sold. Hedges of the purchase of U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale investments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
We estimate the combination of translation of foreign currency-denominated profits from our international businesses and the year-over-year change in foreign currency related gains and losses included in Other (income) expense, net had an unfavorable impact of approximately $174 million and $361 million on our Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOW ACTIVITY
Cash provided (used) by operations was an inflow of $1,358 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023, compared to $3,868 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. Net income, adjusted for non-cash items, generated $3,367 million of operating cash inflow for the first six months of fiscal 2023, compared to $3,704 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. The net change in working capital and other assets and liabilities resulted in a decrease to Cash provided (used) by operations of $2,009 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to an increase of $164 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. The net change in working capital compared to the prior year was driven by higher Accounts Receivable of $1,421 million and Inventories of $1,216 million. Higher Accounts Receivable primarily resulted from an increase in sales to wholesale customers and the timing of when those sales were recognized compared to the prior year. Increased Inventories was the result of higher units, mix and input costs in the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to a lower supply of available inventory to meet consumer demand in the first six months of fiscal 2022 as a result of supply chain constraints.
Cash provided (used) by investing activities was an outflow of $23 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023, compared to $1,105 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by the net change in short-term investments. For the first six months of fiscal 2023, the net change in short-term investments (including sales, maturities and purchases) resulted in a cash inflow of $423 million compared to a cash outflow of $776 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022.
Cash provided (used) by financing activities was an outflow of $3,321 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to $1,846 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022. The increased outflow in the first six months of fiscal 2023 was driven by higher share repurchases of $2,550 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to $1,723 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022, as well as lower proceeds from stock option exercises, which resulted in a cash inflow of $260 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to $846 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022.
During the first six months of fiscal 2023, we repurchased a total of 25.5 million shares of NIKE's Class B Common Stock for $2.6 billion (an average price of $101.96 per share). In August 2022, we terminated the previous four-year, $15 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in June 2018. Under this program, we repurchased 6.5 million shares for a total approximate cost of $710.0 million (an average price of $109.85 per share) during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 83.8 million shares for a total approximate cost of $9.4 billion (an average price of $111.82 per share) during the term of the program. Upon termination of the four-year, $15 billion program, we began purchasing shares under the new four-year, $18 billion share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in June 2022. As of November 30, 2022, we had repurchased 19.0 million shares at a cost of approximately $1.9 billion (an average price of $99.28 per share) under this new program. We continue to expect funding of share repurchases will come from operating cash flows and excess cash. The timing and the amount of share repurchases will be dictated by our capital needs and stock market conditions.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
On July 21, 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which permits us to issue an unlimited amount of debt securities from time to time. The Shelf expires on July 21, 2025.
As of November 30, 2022, our committed credit facilities were unchanged from the information previously reported on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022. We currently have long-term debt ratings of AA- and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively. Any changes to these ratings could result in interest rate and facility fee changes. As of November 30, 2022, we were in full compliance with the covenants under our facilities and believe it is unlikely we will fail to meet any of the covenants in the foreseeable future. As of November 30, 2022 and May 31, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under our committed credit facilities.
Liquidity was also provided by our $3 billion commercial paper program. As of and for the three months ended November 30, 2022, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under our $3 billion program. We may issue commercial paper or other debt securities depending on general corporate needs. We currently have short-term debt ratings of A1+ and P1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively.
To date, in fiscal 2023, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets; however, future volatility in the capital markets may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets.
As of November 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $10.6 billion, primarily consisting of commercial paper, corporate notes, deposits held at major banks, money market funds, U.S. Treasury obligations and other investment grade fixed-income securities. Our fixed-income investments are exposed to both credit and interest rate risk. All of our investments are investment grade to minimize our credit risk. While individual securities have varying durations, as of November 30, 2022, the weighted average days to maturity of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 117 days.
We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described above, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and foreign capital needs in the foreseeable future.
There have been no significant changes to the material cash requirements reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of November 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our current or future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There have been no material changes in recently issued or adopted accounting standards from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We believe the assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting estimates described in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
