NIKE, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2023 FOURTH QUARTER

AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

BEAVERTON, Ore., June 29, 2023 — NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full year ended May 31, 2023.

•Full year reported revenues were $51.2 billion, up 10 percent compared to prior year and up 16 percent on a currency-neutral basis*

•Fourth quarter reported revenues were $12.8 billion, up 5 percent compared to prior year and up 8 percent on a currency-neutral basis

•NIKE Direct reported revenues for the fourth quarter were $5.5 billion, up 15 percent compared to prior year and up 18 percent on a currency-neutral basis

•Wholesale reported revenues for the fourth quarter were $6.7 billion, down 2 percent compared to prior year and up 2 percent on a currency-neutral basis

•Gross margin for the fourth quarter decreased 140 basis points to 43.6 percent

•Diluted earnings per share was $0.66 for the fourth quarter

“NIKE’s strong results make clear that our strategy is working,” said John Donahoe, President & CEO, NIKE, Inc. “FY23 was a milestone year for NIKE as our unique advantages continue to drive competitive separation. Our investment in innovation and our digital leadership are fueling broad-based growth across our portfolio of brands, as we create value by serving the future of sport.”**

Matthew Friend, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, “FY23 demonstrated the power of NIKE’s portfolio to fuel strong growth, year after year. We finished the year with mid-teens currency-neutral revenue growth and a healthy marketplace — setting the foundation for sustainable, profitable growth in FY24 and beyond.”**

Fourth Quarter Income Statement Review

•Revenues for NIKE, Inc. increased 5 percent to $12.8 billion compared to the prior year and were up 8 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

◦Revenues for the NIKE Brand were $12.2 billion, up 5 percent on a reported basis and up 8 percent on a currency-neutral basis, with growth across all brands, channels and geographies.

◦NIKE Direct revenues were $5.5 billion, up 15 percent compared to prior year and up 18 percent on a currency-neutral basis, led by NIKE-owned stores growth of 24 percent and NIKE Brand Digital growth of 14 percent.

◦Revenues for Converse were $586 million, down 1 percent on a reported basis and up 1 percent on a currency-neutral basis, led by double-digit growth in Asia, offset by declines in Europe.

•Gross margin decreased 140 basis points to 43.6 percent, primarily due to higher product input costs and elevated freight and logistics costs, higher markdowns and continued unfavorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates — partially offset by strategic

pricing actions and lapping higher inventory obsolescence reserves in Greater China in the prior period.

•Selling and administrative expense increased 8 percent to $4.4 billion.

◦Demand creation expense was $1.1 billion, up 3 percent, primarily due to sports marketing, and advertising and marketing expense.

◦Operating overhead expense increased 10 percent to $3.3 billion, primarily due to wage-related expenses and NIKE Direct variable costs.

•The effective tax rate was 17.3 percent compared to (4.7) percent for the same period last year, due to a non-cash, one-time benefit in the prior year related to the onshoring of our non-U.S. intangible property.

•Net income was $1.0 billion, down 28 percent, and Diluted earnings per share was $0.66, down 27 percent compared to prior year.

◦Revenues for the NIKE Brand were $48.8 billion, up 10 percent on a reported basis and up 16 percent on a currency-neutral basis, driven by double-digit growth across NIKE Direct and our wholesale business.

◦Revenues for Converse were $2.4 billion, up 3 percent on a reported basis and up 8 percent on a currency-neutral basis, led by double-digit growth in North America, partially offset by declines in Asia.

•Gross margin decreased 250 basis points to 43.5 percent, primarily due to higher product input costs and elevated freight and logistics costs, higher markdowns and continued unfavorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates — partially offset by strategic pricing actions.

•Selling and administrative expense increased 11 percent to $16.4 billion.

◦Demand creation expense was $4.1 billion, up 5 percent compared to prior year, primarily due to advertising and marketing, and sports marketing expense.

◦Operating overhead expense increased 12 percent to $12.3 billion primarily due to wage-related expenses, NIKE Direct variable costs and higher strategic technology enterprise investments.

•The effective tax rate was 18.2 percent, compared to 9.1 percent for the same period last year, due to decreased benefits from stock-based compensation and a non-cash, one-time benefit in the prior year related to the onshoring of our non-U.S. intangible property.

•Net income was $5.1 billion, down 16 percent, and Diluted earnings per share was $3.23, down 14 percent compared to prior year.
