Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Today NIKE, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release disclosing financial results for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2026. The text of the release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On October 1, 2026, the Company announced a multi-year enterprise program, which includes and builds upon the previous cost realignment plan announced in March 2026, collectively known as Pace (the "program"). The program is intended to enhance productivity, improve organizational effectiveness, and decrease the Company’s cost structure. The program includes initiatives to further optimize the Company’s global supply chain, better align the Company’s organizational structure to support its strategic goals, including through the establishment of a new campus in India and realigning the Company’s operating model into three geographies, as well as further streamlining of the organization to reduce costs.
The Board of Directors of the Company approved steps to implement the program, which are expected to result in pre-tax charges of approximately $1.0 billion, which is in addition to approximately $0.3 billion of severance costs recognized in fiscal 2026 in connection with the March 2026 plan. These costs are expected to consist primarily of employee severance and other employee-related costs. The Company expects approximately $0.3 billion to be recognized in fiscal 2027, with the remainder expected to be recognized through fiscal 2031. It is estimated that the majority of the charges will result in future cash expenditures and all charges will be substantially incurred by the end of fiscal 2031, subject to local law requirements.
The Company expects the program to deliver approximately $2.5 billion in cumulative savings through fiscal 2031. The savings estimate is stated before the expected pre-tax charges described above and any future reinvestment.
The expected savings, pre-tax charges and future cash expenditures are estimates and are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions. Actual savings, charges and cash expenditures may differ, possibly materially, from the estimates provided above.

Recent Developments

NIKE expects approximately $0.3 billion to be recognized in fiscal 2027.
The savings estimate is stated before the expected pre-tax charges described above and any future reinvestment. The expected savings, pre-tax charges and future cash expenditures are estimates and are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions. Actual savings, charges and cash expenditures may differ, possibly materially, from these estimates.
Outlook
•Revenues are expected to decline high-single digits in fiscal 2027.
•Effective tax rate for fiscal 2027 is expected to be in the mid-20 percent range, subject to changes in earnings mix and discrete tax items.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding our expectations of our future results and our strategy, including our fiscal 2027 outlook and the program, which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the risk that NIKE is not able to realize anticipated cost savings in the amounts or within the timeframes expected, or at all, risks related to the preliminary nature of the estimates of the charges to be incurred and future cash expenditures to be made in connection with the program and the possibility that those estimates may change in amount or timing as NIKE refines the estimates over time, risks related to any delays in the timing for implementing the program, including as a result of local law requirements, or potential disruptions to NIKE's business, operations or workforce as it executes on the program, and other factors that may cause NIKE to be unable to achieve the expected benefits of the program, as well as the risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in reports filed by NIKE with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K.

| * | Non-GAAP financial measure. See additional information in the accompanying Divisional Revenues and Channel Revenues tables. |
| ** | Adjusted Diluted earnings per share is Diluted earnings per share excluding restructuring and severance charges, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most comparable GAAP measure is Diluted earnings per share. The Company uses Adjusted Diluted earnings per share to facilitate the evaluation of the Company's performance. The Company believes that providing Adjusted Diluted earnings per share is useful to investors for comparability between periods and allows investors to evaluate the impacts of restructuring and severance charges separately. This measure 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 non-GAAP measures used by other companies. |
