Second Quarter Income Statement Review

Revenues for NIKE, Inc. were $12.4 billion, up 1 percent on a reported basis and flat on a currency-neutral basis.
- NIKE Brand revenues were $12.1 billion, up 1 percent on a reported and currency-neutral basis, primarily due to growth in North America, partially offset by declines in Greater China and APLA.

- NIKE Direct revenues were $4.6 billion, down 8 percent on a reported basis and down 9 percent on a currency-neutral basis, due to a 14 percent decrease in NIKE Brand Digital and a 3 percent decrease in NIKE-owned stores.
- Revenues for Converse were $300 million, down 30 percent on a reported basis and down 31 percent on a currency-neutral basis, due to declines across all territories.
Gross margin decreased 300 basis points to 40.6 percent, primarily due to higher tariffs in North America.
Selling and administrative expense increased 1 percent to $4.0 billion.
- Demand creation expense was $1.3 billion, up 13 percent, primarily due to higher brand marketing expense and higher sports marketing expense.
- Operating overhead expense was $2.8 billion, down 4 percent, primarily due to lower wage-related expense and lower other administrative costs.
The effective tax rate was 20.7 percent compared to 17.9 percent for the same period last year, primarily due to changes in earnings mix.
Net income was $0.8 billion, down 32 percent, and Diluted earnings per share was $0.53, a decrease of 32 percent.

November 30, 2025 Balance Sheet Review

Inventories for NIKE, Inc. were $7.7 billion, down 3 percent, reflecting a decrease in units, partially offset by increased product costs, primarily due to higher tariffs in North America.
Cash and equivalents and short-term investments were $8.3 billion, down approximately $1.4 billion, as cash generated by operations was more than offset by cash dividends, bond repayment, share repurchases and capital expenditures.
