NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NIKE, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "NIKE") and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of May 31, 2023, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 (the "Annual Report"). The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The new guidance requires qualitative and quantitative disclosure sufficient to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude of such programs. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal periods, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted the required guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Certain financial institutions offer voluntary supplier finance programs facilitated through a third-party platform that provide participating suppliers the option to finance valid payment obligations from the Company. The Company is not a party to agreements negotiated between participating suppliers and third-party financial institutions. The Company's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and payment terms, are not affected by a supplier's decision to participate in these programs and the Company does not provide guarantees to third parties in connection with these programs. As of August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, the Company had $953 million and $834 million, respectively, of outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under these programs. These amounts are included within Accounts payable on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 2 — ACCRUED LIABILITIES |
Accrued liabilities included the following:

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivatives, equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities. For additional information about the Company's fair value policies, refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the Annual Report.
The following tables present information about the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, and indicate the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the Company classifies the fair value measurement:

As of that date, the Company received $36 million of cash collateral from counterparties related to foreign exchange derivative instruments. No amount of collateral was posted on the derivative liability balance as of May 31, 2023.
For additional information related to the Company's derivative financial instruments and credit risk, refer to Note 7 — Risk Management and Derivatives.
The carrying amounts of other current financial assets and other current financial liabilities approximate fair value.
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOT RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE
The Company's Long-term debt is recorded at adjusted cost, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (Level 2). The fair value of the Company's Long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $7,768 million at August 31, 2023 and $7,889 million at May 31, 2023.
The carrying amounts reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Notes payable approximate fair value.
NOTE 4 — INCOME TAXES |
The effective tax rate was 12.0% and 19.7% for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of temporary relief provided by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") relating to U.S. foreign tax credit regulations. On July 21, 2023, the IRS issued Notice 2023-55 which specifically delayed the application of certain U.S. foreign tax credit regulations that had previously limited the Company's ability to claim credits on certain foreign taxes for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023. As a result of this new guidance, the Company recognized a one-time tax benefit related to prior year tax positions in the first three months of fiscal 2024.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that included, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a fifteen percent minimum tax based on "adjusted financial statement income," which was effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2023. Based on the Company's current analysis of the provisions, these tax law changes are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements for fiscal 2024.
As of August 31, 2023, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $931 million, $644 million of which would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. The majority of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits are long-term in nature and included within Deferred income taxes and other liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 31, 2023, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $936 million. As of August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, accrued interest and penalties related
9
to uncertain tax positions were $274 million and $268 million, respectively, (excluding federal benefit) and included within Deferred income taxes and other liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by the U.S. IRS for fiscal years 2017 through 2019. The Company has closed all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal 2016, with the exception of certain transfer pricing adjustments.
Tax years after 2011 remain open in certain major foreign jurisdictions. Although the timing of resolution of audits is not certain, the Company evaluates all domestic and foreign audit issues in the aggregate, along with the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, and estimates that it is reasonably possible the total gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $20 million within the next 12 months. In January 2019, the European Commission opened a formal investigation to examine whether the Netherlands has breached State Aid rules when granting certain tax rulings to the Company. The Company believes the investigation is without merit. If this matter is adversely resolved, the Netherlands may be required to assess additional amounts with respect to prior periods, and the Company's income taxes related to prior periods in the Netherlands could increase.
NOTE 5 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
The NIKE, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") provides for the issuance of up to 798 million previously unissued shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with equity awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of non-statutory stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock awards, including restricted stock and restricted stock units. Restricted stock units include both time-vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs") as well as performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). In addition to the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company gives employees the right to purchase shares at a discount from the market price under employee stock purchase plans ("ESPPs"). For additional information, refer to Note 9 — Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation within the Annual Report.
The following table summarizes the Company's total stock-based compensation expense recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable:

(1)Expense for stock options includes the expense associated with stock appreciation rights. Accelerated stock option expense is primarily recorded for employees meeting certain retirement eligibility requirements.
(2)Restricted stock units include RSUs and PSUs.
The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $17 million and $20 million for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and reported within Income tax expense.

The weighted average fair value per share of stock options granted during the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, computed as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $34.79 and $32.13, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate these fair values were as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, | ||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Dividend yield | 1.1 | % | 0.8 | % | ||||
Expected volatility | 29.2 | % | 27.0 | % | ||||
Weighted average expected life (in years) | 5.8 | 5.8 | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.2 | % | 2.7 | % |
Expected volatilities are based on an analysis of the historical volatility of the Company's common stock, the implied volatility in market-traded options on the Company's common stock with a term greater than one year, as well as other factors. The weighted average expected life of stock options is based on an analysis of historical and expected future exercise patterns. The interest
10
rate is based on the U.S. Treasury (constant maturity) risk-free rate in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the stock options.
As of August 31, 2023, the Company had $387 million of unrecognized compensation costs from stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable, over a weighted average remaining period of 2.4 years.
RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
The weighted average fair value per share of restricted stock and restricted stock units granted for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, computed as of the grant date, was $106.85 and $127.16, respectively.
As of August 31, 2023, the Company had $676 million of unrecognized compensation costs from restricted stock and restricted stock units, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable, over a weighted average remaining period of 2.3 years.
NOTE 6 — EARNINGS PER SHARE |
The following is a reconciliation from basic earnings per common share to diluted earnings per common share. The computations of diluted earnings per common share exclude restricted stock, restricted stock units and options, including shares under ESPPs, to purchase an estimated additional 33.7 million and 23.8 million shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because the awards were assumed to be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7 — RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVES |
The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. As of and for the three months ended August 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the Company's hedging program or strategy from what was disclosed within the Annual Report. For additional information about the Company's derivatives and hedging policies, refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 12 — Risk Management and Derivatives within the Annual Report.
The majority of derivatives outstanding as of August 31, 2023, are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, primarily for Euro/U.S. Dollar, British Pound/Euro, Chinese Yuan/U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar currency pairs. All derivatives are recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified based on the instrument's maturity date.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
All changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedge instruments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until Net income is affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. Effective hedge results are classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same manner as the underlying exposure. When it is no longer probable the forecasted hedged transaction will occur in the initially identified time period, hedge accounting is discontinued and the Company accounts for the associated derivative as an undesignated instrument as discussed below. Additionally, the gains and losses associated with derivatives no longer designated as cash flow hedge instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are recognized immediately in Other (income) expense, net, if it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur by the end of the initially identified time period or within an additional two-month period thereafter. In rare circumstances, the additional period of time may exceed two months due to extenuating circumstances related to the nature of the forecasted transaction that are outside the control or influence of the Company.
The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $18.3 billion as of August 31, 2023. Approximately $313 million of deferred net gains (net of tax) on both outstanding and matured derivatives in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of August 31, 2023, are expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next 12 months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net income. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net income are dependent on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts currently outstanding mature. As of August 31, 2023, the maximum term over which the Company hedges exposures to the variability of cash flows for its forecasted transactions was 27 months.
13
UNDESIGNATED DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company may elect to enter into foreign exchange forwards to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net, together with the remeasurement gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position. The total notional amount of outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $3.7 billion as of August 31, 2023.
CREDIT RISK
The Company's bilateral credit-related contingent features generally require the owing entity, either the Company or the derivative counterparty, to post collateral for the portion of the fair value in excess of $50 million should the fair value of outstanding derivatives per counterparty be greater than $50 million. Additionally, a certain level of decline in credit rating of either the Company or the counterparty could trigger collateral requirements. As of August 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all credit risk-related contingent features, and derivative instruments with such features were in a net asset position of approximately $256 million. Accordingly, the Company was not required to post cash collateral as a result of these contingent features. Further, $7 million of collateral was received on the Company's derivative asset balance as of August 31, 2023. The Company considers the impact of the risk of counterparty default to be immaterial.
For additional information related to the Company's derivative financial instruments and collateral, refer to Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements.

NOTE 10 — OPERATING SEGMENTS |
The Company's 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 NIKE Brand geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable segment for the Company and operates in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of athletic lifestyle sneakers, apparel and accessories.
Global Brand Divisions is included within the NIKE Brand for presentation purposes to align with the way management views the Company. Global Brand Divisions revenues include NIKE Brand licensing and other miscellaneous revenues that are not part of a geographic operating segment. Global Brand Divisions costs represent demand creation and operating overhead expense that include product creation and design expenses centrally managed for the NIKE Brand, as well as costs associated with NIKE Direct global digital operations and enterprise technology.
Corporate consists primarily of unallocated general and administrative expenses, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments; depreciation and amortization related to the Company's headquarters; unallocated insurance, benefit and compensation programs, including stock-based compensation; and certain foreign currency gains and losses, including certain hedge gains and losses.
The primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments is earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), which represents Net income before Interest expense (income), net, and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
As part of the Company's centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency rates are assigned twice per year to each NIKE Brand entity in the Company's geographic operating segments and to 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 in the entity's functional currency. Differences between assigned standard foreign currency rates and actual market rates are included in Corporate, together with foreign currency hedge gains and losses generated from the Company's centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program and other conversion gains and losses.
Accounts receivable, net, Inventories and Property, plant and equipment, net for operating segments are regularly reviewed by management and are therefore provided below.

NOTE 11 — CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and government investigations relating to its business, products and actions of its employees and representatives, including contractual and employment relationships, product liability, antitrust, customs, tax, intellectual property and other matters. The outcome of these legal matters is inherently uncertain, and the Company cannot predict the eventual outcome of currently pending matters, the timing of their ultimate resolution or the eventual losses, fines, penalties or consequences relating to those matters. When a loss related to a legal proceeding or claim is probable and reasonably estimable, the Company accrues its best estimate for the ultimate resolution of the matter. If one or more legal matters were to be resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management's expectations, the Company's financial position, operating results and cash flows for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected. In the opinion of management, based on its current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, the Company does not believe any currently pending legal matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, except as described below.
BELGIAN CUSTOMS CLAIM
The Company has received claims for certain years from Belgian Customs and other government authorities for alleged underpaid duties related to products imported beginning in fiscal 2018. The Company disputes these claims and has engaged in the appellate process. The Company has issued bank guarantees in order to appeal the claims. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the range of loss and cannot predict the final outcome as it could take several years to reach a resolution on this matter. If this matter is ultimately resolved against the Company, the amounts owed, including fines, penalties and other consequences relating to the matter, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
NIKE designs, develops, markets and sells athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories and services worldwide. We are the largest seller of athletic footwear and apparel in the world. We sell our products through NIKE Direct operations, which is comprised of both NIKE-owned retail stores and sales through our digital platforms (also referred to as "NIKE Brand Digital"), to wholesale accounts and to a mix of independent distributors, licensees and sales representatives in nearly all countries around the world. Our goal is to deliver value to our shareholders by building a profitable global portfolio of branded footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories businesses. Our strategy is to achieve long-term revenue growth by creating innovative, "must-have" products, building deep personal consumer connections with our brands and delivering compelling consumer experiences through digital platforms and at retail.
Through the Consumer Direct Acceleration strategy, we are focused on creating the marketplace of the future with more premium, consistent and seamless consumer experiences, leading with digital and our owned stores, as well as select wholesale partners. In addition, our product creation and marketing organizations are aligned to a consumer construct focused on sports dimensions through Men's, Women's and Kids', which allows us to better serve consumer needs. We continue to invest in a new Enterprise Resource Planning Platform, data and analytics, demand sensing, insight gathering and other areas to create an end-to-end technology foundation, which we believe will further accelerate our digital transformation. We believe this unified approach will accelerate growth and unlock more efficiency for our business, while driving speed and responsiveness as we serve consumers globally.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
•NIKE, Inc. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $12.9 billion, an increase of 2% on both a reported and currency-neutral basis, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023
•NIKE Direct revenues grew 6% from $5.1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to $5.4 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and represented approximately 43% of total NIKE Brand revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2024
•Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased 10 basis points to 44.2%, primarily driven by higher product costs and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, largely offset by strategic pricing actions
•Inventories as of August 31, 2023, were $8.7 billion, an increase of 3% compared to May 31, 2023, primarily driven by product mix and lower inventory obsolescence reserves
•We returned $1.7 billion to our shareholders in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 through share repurchases and dividends
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET DYNAMICS
•Consumer Spending: Our growth in Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 reflects ongoing demand for our products despite ongoing uncertainty in the global economy. We will continue to closely monitor macroeconomic conditions, including the potential impacts of inflation and rising interest rates on consumer behavior.
•Inflationary Pressures: Inflationary pressures, including higher product costs, negatively impacted gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The strategic pricing actions we have taken more than offset the impact of these higher product costs on gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
•Supply Chain Conditions: During the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and as of August 31, 2023, our inventory levels were healthy as we continue to experience normalized inventory transit times and flow of seasonal product.
•Foreign Currency Impacts: As a global company with significant operations outside the United States, we are exposed to risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For additional information, refer to "Foreign Currency Exposures and Hedging Practices".
We continue to be confident in our brand strength. We are focused on scaling a deep, diverse and distinct product portfolio as well as deepening our consumer connections, while carefully managing the health of our most iconic product franchises. However, the operating environment could remain volatile in fiscal 2024 as the risk exists that worsening macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse impact on our future revenue growth as well as overall profitability.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss non-GAAP financial measures, which should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. References to these measures 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 measures used by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP 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 our underlying business performance and trends.
Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ("EBIT"): Calculated as Net income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Total NIKE, Inc. EBIT for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, | ||||||||
(Dollars in millions) | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||

Add: Income tax expense | 198 | 360 | ||||||
Earnings before interest and taxes | $ | 1,614 | $ | 1,841 |
EBIT margin: Calculated as total NIKE, Inc. EBIT divided by total NIKE, Inc. Revenues. Our EBIT margin calculation for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

EBIT margin | 12.5 | % | 14.5 | % |
Currency-neutral revenues: Currency-neutral revenues enhance visibility to underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Currency-neutral revenues are calculated using actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior year period in place of the exchange rates in use during the current period.
Wholesale equivalent revenues: References to wholesale equivalent revenues are intended to provide context as to the total size of our NIKE Brand market footprint if we had no NIKE Direct operations. NIKE Brand wholesale equivalent revenues consist of (1) sales to external wholesale customers and (2) internal sales from our wholesale operations to our NIKE Direct operations, which are charged at prices comparable to those charged to external wholesale customers.
COMPARABLE STORE SALES
Comparable store sales: This key metric, which excludes NIKE Brand Digital sales, comprises revenues from NIKE-owned in-line and factory stores for which all three of the following requirements have been met: (1) the store has been open at least one year, (2) square footage has not changed by more than 15% within the past year and (3) the store has not been permanently repositioned within the past year. Comparable store sales includes revenues from stores that were temporarily closed during the period as a result of COVID-19. Comparable store sales represents a performance metric that we believe is useful information for management and investors in understanding the performance of our established NIKE-owned in-line and factory stores. Management considers this metric when making financial and operating decisions. The method of calculating comparable store sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, our calculation of this metric may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2024 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023
•NIKE, Inc. Revenues were $12.9 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which increased 2% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023 on a reported and currency-neutral basis. The increase, on a currency-neutral basis, was driven by higher revenues in Europe, Middle East & Africa ("EMEA") and Greater China, which contributed approximately 2 and 1 percentage points to NIKE, Inc. Revenues, respectively. Lower revenues in North America reduced NIKE, Inc. Revenues by approximately 1 percentage point.
•NIKE Brand revenues, which represented over 90% of NIKE, Inc. Revenues, increased 3% on a reported and currency-neutral basis. This increase was primarily due to higher revenues in the Jordan Brand and Women's, partially offset by lower revenues in Men's and Kids'.
•NIKE Brand footwear revenues increased 4% on a currency-neutral basis due to higher revenues in the Jordan Brand, Women's and Men's, partially offset by lower revenues in Kids'. Unit sales of footwear decreased 1%, while higher average selling price ("ASP") per pair contributed approximately 5 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, on a wholesale equivalent basis, and growth in the size of our NIKE Direct business, partially offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP.
•NIKE Brand apparel revenues decreased 1% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to lower revenues in Men's, Women's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of apparel decreased 12%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 11 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. Higher ASP per unit was primarily due to higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs.
•NIKE Direct revenues increased 6% from $5.1 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 to $5.4 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Direct revenues increased 6%, driven by comparable store sales growth of 8%, the addition of new stores and NIKE Brand Digital sales growth of 2%. For additional information regarding comparable store sales, including the definition, see "Comparable Store Sales". NIKE Brand Digital sales were $2.9 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $2.8 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Within NIKE Direct revenues, there were certain reclassifications made between NIKE-owned retail stores and NIKE Brand Digital in the prior period to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material impact on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Gross margin | 44.2 | % | 44.3 | % | (10) bps |
For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, our consolidated gross margin was 10 basis points lower than the prior year primarily due to:
•Higher NIKE Brand product costs, on a wholesale equivalent basis (decreasing gross margin approximately 180 basis points);
•Unfavorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates, including hedges (decreasing gross margin approximately 90 basis points); and
•Lower off-price margin, on a wholesale equivalent basis (decreasing gross margin approximately 30 basis points).
This was partially offset by:
•Higher NIKE Brand full-price ASP, net of discounts, on a wholesale equivalent basis (increasing gross margin approximately 300 basis points) due primarily to strategic pricing actions; and
•Higher margin in our NIKE Direct business (increasing gross margin approximately 10 basis points).

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2024 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023
Demand creation expense increased 13% primarily due to an increase in advertising and marketing expense. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on Demand creation expense.
Operating overhead expense increased 2% primarily due to higher wage-related expenses and NIKE Direct variable costs, partially offset by lower technology spend. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on Operating overhead expense.

(Dollars in millions) | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||
Other (income) expense, net | $ | (10) | $ | (146) |
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 first quarter of fiscal 2024, Other (income) expense, net decreased from $146 million of other income, net, to $10 million of other income, net, in the current year, primarily due to a net unfavorable change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, including hedges, as well as net favorable settlements of legal matters in the prior year.
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 $65 million on our Income before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Wholesale revenues decreased 8%, reflecting our proactive decisions to manage inventory supply and prioritize marketplace health. NIKE Direct revenues increased 7%, driven by comparable store sales growth of 6%, the addition of new stores and digital sales growth of 4%.
•Footwear revenues decreased 2% on a currency-neutral basis, due to lower revenues in Men's, Kids' and Women's, largely offset by higher revenues in the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear decreased 10%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 8 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to higher full-price ASP and growth in NIKE Direct.
•Apparel revenues decreased 1% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to lower revenues in Women's, Men's and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of apparel decreased 11%, while higher ASP per unit contributed 10 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. Higher ASP per unit was primarily due to higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASP.
Reported EBIT increased 4% reflecting lower revenues and the following:
•Gross margin expansion of 240 basis points primarily due to higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, largely due to strategic pricing actions and higher margin in NIKE Direct. This was partially offset by higher product costs and a lower mix of full-price sales.
•Selling and administrative expense increase of 4% driven by higher operating overhead expense. The increase in operating overhead expense was primarily due to higher wage-related expenses and NIKE Direct variable costs. Demand creation expense was flat as lower advertising and marketing expense was offset by higher digital marketing.

•Gross margin contraction of 310 basis points primarily due to unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, primarily due to strategic pricing actions.
•Selling and administrative expense increase of 11% due to higher operating overhead and demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense increased primarily due to higher wage-related expenses, other administrative costs and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Demand creation expense increased primarily due to higher sports marketing expense and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Higher ASP per unit was primarily due to higher NIKE Direct and full-price ASPs, as well as a higher mix of full-price sales, partially offset by lower off-price ASP.
Reported EBIT decreased 3% reflecting higher revenues and the following:
•Gross margin contraction of approximately 80 basis points, primarily due to higher product costs and unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates. This was partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts, and a higher mix of full-price sales.
•Selling and administrative expense increase of 6% primarily due to higher demand creation expense. Demand creation expense increased primarily due to higher advertising and marketing expense, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Operating overhead expense was flat as favorable changes in foreign currency exchanges rates were offset by higher wage-related expenses and NIKE Direct variable costs.

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. The impacts from closing these transactions are included within Corporate and are not reflected in the Asia Pacific & Latin America ("APLA") operating segment results. This completed the transition of our NIKE Brand businesses within our Central and South America ("CASA") marketplace, which now reflects a full distributor operating model.
FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2024 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023
•APLA revenues increased 3% on a currency-neutral basis due to higher revenues across most territories, led by Japan, Southeast Asia & India and Mexico, partially offset by lower revenues in CASA and Korea. Within our CASA territory, the transition of our Chile, Argentina and Uruguay entities to a third-party distributor operating model reduced APLA revenue growth by approximately 3 percentage points. Revenues increased due to overall growth in Women's, the Jordan Brand and Kids'. NIKE Direct revenues increased 3%, driven by comparable store sales growth of 12% and the addition of new stores, partially offset by digital sales declines of 3%.
•Footwear revenues increased 7% on a currency-neutral basis due to higher revenues in Men's, Women's, the Jordan Brand and Kids'. Unit sales of footwear increased 7% and ASP per pair was slightly up, as higher full-price ASP was largely offset by lower NIKE Direct ASP.
•Apparel revenues decreased 9% on a currency-neutral basis, primarily due to lower revenues in Men's and Women's. Unit sales of apparel decreased 17%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 8 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. Higher ASP per unit was primarily due to higher full-price ASP, growth in NIKE Direct and higher off-price ASP.
Reported EBIT decreased 17% reflecting higher revenues and the following:
•Gross margin contraction of approximately 410 basis points primarily due to higher product costs, as well as unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates and lower margin in NIKE Direct. This was partially offset by higher full-price ASP, net of discounts.
•Selling and administrative expense increase of 14% due to higher demand creation and operating overhead expense. Demand creation expense increased primarily due to higher advertising and marketing expense as well as higher digital marketing expense. Operating overhead expense increased primarily due to higher wage-related expenses.

FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2024 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023
•Converse revenues decreased 9% on a currency-neutral basis as revenue declines in North America were partially offset by an increase in Asia. Combined unit sales within the wholesale and direct to consumer channels decreased 6% and ASP decreased 3%, reflecting promotional activity in digital.
•Direct to consumer revenues decreased 14% on a currency-neutral basis due to reduced traffic in North America and Western Europe.
•Wholesale revenues decreased 5% on a currency-neutral basis, as declines in North America were partially offset by growth in Western Europe due to supply chain normalization.
Reported EBIT decreased 20% reflecting lower revenues and the following:
•Gross margin contraction of approximately 200 basis points due to promotional activity and unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates.
•Selling and administrative expense was flat as lower operating overhead was offset by higher demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily as a result of lower professional service and administrative costs. Demand creation expense increased as a result of higher advertising and marketing as well as brand event 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.
FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2024 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023
Corporate's loss before interest and taxes increased $77 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to the following:
•an unfavorable change of $117 million related to the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and the impact of certain foreign currency derivative instruments, as well as net favorable settlements of legal matters in the prior year, reported as a component of consolidated Other (income) expense, net;
•an unfavorable change of $59 million primarily related to increased wage-related expenses and other professional services, reported as a component of consolidated Operating overhead expense; and
•a favorable change of $105 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.
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 months ended August 31, 2023, 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 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 (the "Annual Report")"
Refer to Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements and Note 7 — 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 within the Annual Report.
32
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.
Certain currency forward contracts used to manage the foreign exchange exposure of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities subject to remeasurement are not formally designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, changes in fair value of these instruments are recognized in Other (income) expense, net and are intended to offset the foreign currency impact of the remeasurement of the related non-functional currency denominated asset or liability being hedged.
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 $57 million and $823 million for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a detriment of approximately $2 million and $253 million for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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 $65 million and $234 million in our Income before income taxes for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOW ACTIVITY
Cash provided (used) by operations was an outflow of $66 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024, compared to an inflow of $357 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023. Net income, adjusted for non-cash items, generated $1,757 million of operating cash inflow for the first three months of fiscal 2024, compared to $1,771 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023. The net change in working capital and other assets and liabilities resulted in a decrease to Cash provided (used) by operations of $1,823 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024 compared to a decrease of $1,414 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023. The net change in working capital was primarily impacted by unfavorable changes in Accrued liabilities, primarily due to net unfavorable changes in cash collateral with derivative counterparties as a result of hedging transactions. The net change in working capital was also impacted by favorable changes to Inventories due to improved lead times and flow of seasonal product in the current period. Further impacting the net change in working capital was an unfavorable change in Accounts receivable, in part due to the timing of wholesale shipments in the current period.
Cash provided (used) by investing activities was an inflow of $418 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024, compared to an outflow of $214 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023, primarily driven by the net change in short-term investments. For the first three months of fiscal 2024, the net change in short-term investments (including sales, maturities and purchases) resulted in a cash inflow of $672 million compared to a cash outflow of $89 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023.
Cash provided (used) by financing activities was an outflow of $1,599 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024 compared to $1,404 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023. The increased outflow in the first three months of fiscal 2024 was driven by higher share repurchases of $1,133 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024 compared to $983 million in the first three months of fiscal 2023, as well as higher dividend payments of $524 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024 compared to $480 million in the first three months of fiscal 2023.
During the first three months of fiscal 2024, we repurchased a total of 10.5 million shares of NIKE's Class B Common Stock for $1,132 million (an average price of $108.12 per share) under the four-year, $18 billion share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in June 2022. As of August 31, 2023, we have repurchased 54.0 million shares at a cost of approximately $5.9 billion (an average price of $109.94 per share) under this $18 billion share repurchase 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 (the "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 August 31, 2023, our committed credit facilities were unchanged from the information previously reported within the Annual Report. 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 August 31, 2023, 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 August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, no amounts were outstanding under our committed credit facilities.
Liquidity is also provided by our $3 billion commercial paper program. As of and for the three months ended August 31, 2023, 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.
To date, in fiscal 2024, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the capital or credit markets; however, future volatility may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets.
As of August 31, 2023, we had Cash and equivalents and Short-term investments totaling $8.8 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 August 31, 2023, the weighted average days to maturity of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 100 days.
We believe that existing Cash and 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 within the Annual Report.
34
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of August 31, 2023, 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
Refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for recently adopted and issued accounting standards.
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 the Annual Report 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.
35
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We carry out a variety of ongoing procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of August 31, 2023.
We are continuing several transformation initiatives to centralize and simplify our business processes and systems. These are long-term initiatives, which we believe will enhance our internal control over financial reporting due to increased automation and further integration of related processes. We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting for effectiveness throughout these transformation initiatives.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
36

Investors should also be aware that while NIKE does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against NIKE's policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, shareholders should not assume that NIKE agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Furthermore, NIKE has a policy against confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of NIKE.
