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 two distribution channels: NIKE Direct operations which are comprised of both NIKE-owned retail stores and sales through our digital platforms (also referred to as "NIKE Brand Digital") and to wholesale accounts, which include 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 sustainable, profitable 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. Under the leadership of our new Chief Executive Officer, Elliott Hill, we are focused on leading with sport, building a complete product portfolio, creating stories to inspire and emotionally connect with consumers, repositioning NIKE Brand Digital as a full-price platform and increasing investment with our wholesale partners.
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
•NIKE, Inc. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were $12.4 billion compared to $13.4 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2024
•NIKE Direct revenues were $5.0 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $5.7 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and represented approximately 42% of total NIKE Brand revenues
•NIKE Brand wholesale revenues were $6.9 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $7.1 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2024
•Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased 100 basis points to 43.6%, primarily due to higher discounts and changes in channel mix, partially offset by lower product input costs as well as lower warehousing and logistics costs
•Inventories as of November 30, 2024, were $8.0 billion, an increase of 6% compared to May 31, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in units
•We returned approximately $1.6 billion to our shareholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 through share repurchases and dividends
FACTORS IMPACTING OUR BUSINESS
Our results for the second quarter and six months ended November 30, 2024, reflect lower wholesale shipments, increased sales-related reserves, a decrease in traffic and elevated promotional activity across NIKE Direct which resulted in a negative impact on our Revenues and overall profitability.
We are taking actions across the following areas:
•Product Management: Reducing the supply of certain footwear products in the marketplace as we shift to new and innovative products and rebalance the mix of our footwear portfolio.
•Marketplace Management: Repositioning NIKE Brand Digital as a full-price platform and reinvesting in wholesale distribution. This includes liquidating inventory through increased markdowns across NIKE Direct, and higher sales-related returns and discounts with our wholesale partners to reduce inventory and create capacity for new product.
•Brand Management: Increasing investment in demand creation including brand marketing and sports marketing to support key product launches and sports moments.
As we continue to take actions to reposition our business over the next several quarters, we expect a negative impact on our Revenues and gross margin as well as higher Demand creation expense. However, we believe these actions will reposition our business to drive long-term shareholder value.
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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Total NIKE, Inc. EBIT for the three and six months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

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.
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 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.

| Other (income) expense, net | $ | (8) | | $ | (75) | | | $ | (63) | | $ | (85) | |
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 outside the normal course of business.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Other (income) expense, net decreased from $75 million of other income, net, in the prior year to $8 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.
For the first six months of fiscal 2025, Other (income) expense, net decreased from $85 million of other income, net, in the prior year to $63 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.
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 an unfavorable impact of $23 million and $35 million on our Income before income taxes for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively.

| Effective tax rate | 17.9 | % | 17.9 | % | — bps | | 18.7 | % | 15.2 | % | 350 bps |
Our effective tax rate was 17.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 17.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Our effective tax rate was 18.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2025, compared to 15.2% for the first six months of fiscal 2024, primarily due to one-time benefits in the first six months of fiscal 2024 provided by the delay of the effective date of certain U.S. foreign tax credit regulations and a reduction in accrued withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings.
On December 10, 2024, the U.S. Department of Treasury published final regulations related to foreign currency gains and losses that are effective for us beginning June 1, 2025. These regulations require computation of a pre-transition foreign currency gain or loss to be included in the determination of future taxable income or loss. We are currently evaluating the regulations and expect to recognize a one-time, non-cash deferred tax benefit related to pre-transition foreign currency losses in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impacts of these regulations on our financial statements and refine our estimates in subsequent periods.

This was partially offset by lower ASP, primarily due to changes in channel mix, partially offset by strategic pricing actions, and higher other costs, in part due to higher inventory obsolescence reserves.
•Selling and administrative expense increase of 1% driven by higher demand creation expense, partially offset by lower operating overhead expense. The increase in demand creation expense was due to higher sports marketing expense and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower brand marketing expense. The decrease in operating overhead expense was due to lower wage-related expenses and lower other administrative costs, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

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, 2024, 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, 2024 (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.
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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
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 within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income 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 benefit of approximately $127 million and a detriment of approximately $32 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2024, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a benefit of approximately $37 million and a detriment of approximately $3 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2024, 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 $23 million and $35 million on our Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended November 30, 2024, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOW ACTIVITY
Cash provided (used) by operations was an inflow of $1,443 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to an inflow of $2,751 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024. Net income, adjusted for non-cash items, generated $2,824 million of operating cash inflow for the first six months of fiscal 2025, compared to $3,613 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024. The net change in certain working capital components and other assets and liabilities resulted in a decrease to cash provided by operations of $1,381 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to a decrease of $862 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024. This net change was primarily impacted by unfavorable changes to Inventories due to lower sales in the current period and reduced inventory purchases in the prior year.
Cash provided (used) by investing activities was an outflow of $240 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025, compared to an inflow of $875 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, primarily driven by the net change in short-term investments (including sales, maturities and purchases). For the first six months of fiscal 2025, the net change in short-term investments resulted in a cash outflow of $1 million compared to a cash inflow of $1,343 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, primarily reflecting higher maturities in the prior period.
Cash provided (used) by financing activities was an outflow of $3,070 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to an outflow $3,151 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024. The decreased outflow was primarily due to lower share repurchases of $2,280 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to $2,331 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024, offset by higher dividend payments of $1,115 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to $1,047 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024.
During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we repurchased a total of 27.9 million shares of NIKE's Class B Common Stock for $2,254 million (an average price of $80.83 per share) under the four-year, $18 billion share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in June 2022. As of November 30, 2024, we have repurchased 112.8 million shares at a cost of approximately $11.3 billion (an average price of $100.26 per share) under this $18 billion share repurchase program. We continue to expect funding of share repurchases will come from operating cash flows, excess cash and/or proceeds from debt. 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 November 30, 2024, 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 November 30, 2024, 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, 2024 and May 31, 2024, 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 November 30, 2024, 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 2025, 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 November 30, 2024, we had Cash and equivalents and Short-term investments totaling $9.8 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 November 30, 2024, the weighted average days to maturity of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 99 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.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As a result of renewals of, and additions to, outstanding endorsement contracts, including associated marketing commitments, cash payments due under these contracts have increased from what was reported within our Annual Report.
Obligations under these endorsement contracts as of November 30, 2024, and significant contracts entered into through the date of this report, were $15.9 billion, with $1.9 billion payable within 12 months.
Other than the changes reported above, there have been no significant changes to the material cash requirements reported within our Annual Report.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of November 30, 2024, 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 within 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.
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, 2024.
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 November 30, 2024.
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.

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.
