Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
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.
Our strategy is to achieve sustainable, profitable long-term revenue growth by leading with sport, creating innovative, "must-have" products, building deep personal consumer connections with our brands and delivering compelling consumer experiences through digital platforms and at retail.
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• NIKE, Inc. Revenues were $11.3 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, flat on a reported basis and down 3% on a currency-neutral basis.
• NIKE Brand wholesale revenues were $6.5 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $6.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase on a currency-neutral basis was driven by higher revenues in North America and Asia Pacific & Latin America ("APLA"), partially offset by lower revenues in Greater China and Europe, Middle East & Africa ("EMEA").
• NIKE Direct revenues were $4.5 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $4.7 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in traffic.
• Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased 130 basis points to 40.2% primarily due to higher tariffs in North America.
• Inventories as of February 28, 2026, were $7.5 billion, flat compared to May 31, 2025, primarily reflecting an increase in units, offset by product mix.
• We returned approximately $609 million to our shareholders in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 through dividends.
FACTORS IMPACTING OUR BUSINESS
We are navigating through several external factors that create uncertainty and volatility in the operating environment, including, but not limited to, geopolitical dynamics, tax regulation, fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates and evolving tariff policies. These factors, and any changes to these factors, among others, could have a material adverse impact on consumer behavior and on our future Revenues and overall profitability. For a discussion of these factors and other risks, refer to Risk Factors in Item 1A of Part 1 within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report").
Despite these factors, we are focused on driving distinction within key sports, building a complete product portfolio, creating stories to inspire and emotionally connect with consumers, and elevating and growing the entire marketplace as we continue to take actions across the following areas:
• Product Management: Accelerating product innovation and reducing the supply of certain footwear products in the marketplace to 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 returns and discounts with our wholesale partners to reduce inventory and create capacity for new product. We are also making investments to elevate the presentation of our brands in physical retail.
• Brand Management: Increasing investment in demand creation, including brand marketing and sports marketing, to support key product launches and sports moments.

Our reportable operating segments are at different stages of progress and we expect to complete these actions by the end of December 2026. The timing of financial impacts has and will continue to vary by segment. North America has made the most progress against these actions, while Greater China and Converse will take more time. In Greater China, a trend of declining store traffic, elevated promotional activity and higher levels of inventory across the marketplace are negatively impacting revenues and overall profitability, while Converse is in the midst of a strategic reset of the brand and marketplace. We expect negative impacts from Greater China to continue throughout fiscal 2027. While these product, marketplace and brand management actions taken across our portfolio have had, and in the future may have, a negative impact on our Revenues and overall profitability, we believe they will reignite brand momentum and reposition our business to drive long-term shareholder value.
We have also been evaluating opportunities to operate more efficiently and profitably through realigning costs across our supply chain and technology to serve an integrated marketplace. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, we recognized pre-tax charges of $230 million and $304 million, respectively, primarily associated with employee severance costs. We continue to evaluate opportunities and may take additional actions which could lead to additional charges in future quarters. For more information, refer to Note 13 — Severance and Other Employee Costs within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
OTHER MATTERS
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that U.S. tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") on goods imported into the U.S. were unauthorized. Total IEEPA tariffs paid as of the date of this report is approximately $1.0 billion. The ruling did not address potential refunds, and therefore the ultimate availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of these tariffs is highly uncertain. As such, we have determined that potential recovery of any funds is not probable. We will continue to monitor changes to the import and export policies of the U.S. and other countries that could impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("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") and EBIT margin: Calculated as Net income before Interest (income) expense, net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and total NIKE, Inc. EBIT divided by total NIKE, Inc. Revenues, respectively. Total NIKE, Inc. EBIT and our EBIT margin calculations for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026 and February 28, 2025 are as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28,

Net income margin 4.6 % 7.0 % 5.8 % 8.5 %
EBIT margin 5.6 % 7.3 % 7.1 % 9.9 %
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.

• North America revenues increased 3% on a currency-neutral basis. Wholesale revenues increased 11%, primarily driven by the impacts of our marketplace management actions in both the current and prior year and expanded distribution in the current year. NIKE Direct revenues decreased 5% due to declines in digital sales of 7% and declines in store sales of 1%. Comparable store sales decreased 1%.
• Footwear revenues increased 6% on a currency-neutral basis. Unit sales of footwear increased 4%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 2 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to product mix and strategic pricing, partially offset by channel mix.
• Apparel revenues decreased 2% on a currency-neutral basis. Unit sales of apparel decreased 1%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 1 percentage point. Lower ASP per unit was primarily due to higher discounts, partially offset by product mix and strategic pricing.
Reported EBIT decreased 11% reflecting higher reported revenues more than offset by:
• Gross margin contraction of 350 basis points, primarily due to higher tariffs, partially offset by higher ASP and lower inventory obsolescence reserves. Higher ASP primarily reflects strategic pricing and product mix, partially offset by channel mix.
• Demand creation expense increased 4% due to higher sports marketing expense, partially offset by lower brand marketing expense.
• Operating overhead expense decreased 1% due to lower other administrative costs, partially offset by higher wage-related 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 nine months ended February 28, 2026, there have been no material changes to our hedging program or strategy from what was disclosed within our Annual Report.
Refer to Note 3 — 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 within our 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 within 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.

Table of Contents
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 $399 million and $735 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a benefit of approximately $62 million and $143 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, 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 and to mitigate exposure to forecasted future cash flows of certain intercompany transactions. The combination of these foreign currency exposures and the related hedging instruments has the effect of partially offsetting the year-over-year foreign currency translation impact on net earnings. These hedges are generally 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 $29 million and $12 million on our Income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2026, respectively.

OPERATIONS:
For the nine months ended February 28, 2026, cash provided by operations was $1,231 million. This was driven by Net income of $2,039 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $1,018 million, and a net change in certain working capital components and other assets and liabilities that decreased cash provided by operations by $1,826 million. The net change in certain working capital components and other assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in Accounts receivable, a decrease in Accounts payable and a decrease in Income taxes payable. The increase in Accounts receivable was primarily due to higher wholesale revenues and the timing of wholesale shipments. The decrease in Accounts payable was primarily due to lower other administrative costs and the timing of payments. The decrease in Income taxes payable was primarily due to U.S. federal income tax payments.
For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, cash provided by operations was $3,235 million. This was driven by Net income of $3,008 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $875 million, and a net change in certain working capital components and other assets and liabilities that decreased cash provided by operations by $648 million. The net change in certain working capital components and other assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in Accounts receivable and an increase in Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The increase in Accounts receivable was primarily due to the timing of wholesale shipments and the increase in Prepaid expenses and other current assets was primarily due to payments related to endorsement contracts.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES:
For the nine months ended February 28, 2026, cash used by investing activities was $276 million, primarily driven by a net change in short-term investments (including purchases, sales and maturities) and increased additions to Property, plant and equipment. For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, cash used by investing activities was $289 million, primarily driven by a net change in short-term investments (including purchases, sales and maturities).
FINANCING ACTIVITIES:
For the nine months ended February 28, 2026, cash used by financing activities was $1,778 million, primarily driven by dividend payments. For the nine months ended February 28, 2025, cash used by financing activities was $4,176 million, primarily driven by share repurchases and dividend payments.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, we purchased a total of 1.8 million shares of NIKE's Class B Common Stock for $122.4 million (an average price of $67.63 per share) under the four-year, $18 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in June 2022. As of February 28, 2026, we had repurchased 124.4 million shares at a cost of approximately $12.1 billion (an average price of $97.57 per share) under this $18 billion share repurchase program. No shares were repurchased during the quarter ended February 28, 2026. We paused repurchases under this program during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The existing program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and we may resume share repurchases in the future at any time, depending upon market conditions, our liquidity and capital needs and other factors. We continue to expect funding of any future share repurchases to come from operating cash flows and excess cash.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
On July 17, 2025, 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 securities from time to time. The Shelf expires on July 17, 2028.
As of February 28, 2026, our committed credit facilities were unchanged from the information previously reported within our Annual Report. We currently have long-term debt ratings of A+ and A2 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. In November 2025, Moody's Investor Services downgraded our debt rating from A1 to A2. Despite the downgrade, our facility fees and interest rates remain unchanged. As of February 28, 2026, 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 February 28, 2026 and May 31, 2025, no amounts were outstanding under our committed credit facilities.
On March 6, 2026, subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into a 364-day committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of banks, which provides for up to $1 billion of borrowings, with an option to increase borrowings up to $1.5 billion in total with lender approval. The facility matures on March 5, 2027, with an option to extend the maturity date an additional 364 days. This facility replaces the prior $1 billion 364-day credit facility agreement entered into on March 7, 2025, which matured on March 6, 2026. Refer to Note 4 — Short-Term Borrowings and Credit Lines within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Liquidity is also provided by our $3 billion commercial paper program. As of and for the three months ended February 28, 2026, 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 2026, 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 February 28, 2026, we had Cash and equivalents and Short-term investments totaling $8.1 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 February 28, 2026, the weighted average days to maturity of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 119 days.
We believe that existing Cash and equivalents, Short-term investments and cash provided by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described above, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and foreign capital needs for the next twelve months and beyond.
There have been no significant changes to the material cash requirements previously reported.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS & OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of February 28, 2026, 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. Refer to Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our bank guarantees and letters of credit.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from these estimates. Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
