NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NIKE, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “NIKE”) and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of May 31, 20192020 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 29,August 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2016,As previously disclosed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02,Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Leases (Topic 842)May 31, 2020, the extent to which replaced existing lease accounting guidance. The new standard is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use (ROU) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets representevolving COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company's right to use an underlying asset forfinancial statements will depend on a number of factors, including the lease termmagnitude and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The new guidance requires the Company to continue to classify leases as either an operating or finance lease, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In addition, the new standard requires enhanced disclosure surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing agreements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which provided entities with an additional transition method. Under the new transition method, an entity initially applies the new standard at the adoption date, versus at the beginningduration of the earliest period presented, and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company elected this transition method and adopted Topic 842 using a modified retrospective approach in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized in Retained earnings at June 1, 2019. Comparative prior period information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with previous lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840 — Leases.
Upon adoption, the Company elected the package of transition practical expedients which allowed the Company to carry forward prior conclusions related to: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from nonlease components for all real estate leases within the portfolio. The Company made an accounting policy election to not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or lesspandemic. There remains risk that COVID-19 could have material adverse impacts on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will recognize related lease payments in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In preparation for implementation, the Company executed changes to business processes, including implementing a software solution to assist with the new reporting requirements. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in a $2.7 billion increase to total assets and total liabilities as of June 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company recognized $3.2 billion of total operating lease liabilities and $2.9 billion of operating lease ROU assets,future revenue growth as well as removed $348 million of existing deferred rent liabilities, which was recorded as an offset against the ROU assets. In addition, the Company removed $184 million of existing assetsoverall profitability and liabilities relatedmay lead to build-to-suit lease arrangements. Several other assethigher than normal inventory levels in various markets, revised payment terms with certain wholesale customers, higher sales-related reserves and liability line itemsa volatile effective tax rate driven by changes in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were also impacted by immaterial amounts.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOT RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE
Long-term debt is recorded at adjusted cost, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of Long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (Level 2). The fair value of the Company’s Long-term debt,, including the current portion, was approximately $4,009$10,731 million at February 29,August 31, 2020 and $3,524$10,645 million at May 31, 2019.2020.
For fair value information regarding Notes payable,, refer to Note 5 — Short-Term Borrowings and Credit Lines and Note 15 — Subsequent Events for additional information related to the Company's Long-term debt.Lines.
NON-RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As further discussed in Note 14 — Acquisitions and Divestitures, the Company met the criteria to recognize the related assets and liabilities of its Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay entities as held-for-sale in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. This required the Company to remeasure the disposal groups at fair value, less costs to sell, which is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement and was based on each transaction's estimated consideration at the date of close. As of February 29, 2020, the carrying value of the Argentina, Chile and Uruguay disposal groups exceeded their fair value, less costs to sell and as a result, the Company recognized a non-recurring impairment charge of $400 million. This charge was primarily due to the anticipated release of non-cash cumulative foreign currency translation losses which were included as part of the carrying value of the Argentina, Chile and Uruguay disposal groups when measuring for impairment. For the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, the charge was recognized in Other (income) expense, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, classified within Corporate, and a corresponding allowance within Accrued Liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All other assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of February 29, 2020 were immaterial. As of May 31, 2019, all assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were immaterial.
NOTE 5 — SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND CREDIT LINES

The carrying amounts reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Notes payable approximate fair value.
As of February 29,August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019,2020, the Company had 0$112 million and $248 million of borrowings outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 1.72% and 1.65%, respectively, under its $2$4 billion commercial paper program.
On August 16, 2019, the Company entered into a committed credit facility agreement Commercial paper repayments with a syndicate of banks which provides for up to $2 billion oforiginal maturities greater than three months are included in Repayments from borrowings with the option to increase borrowings up to $3 billion in total upon lender approval. The facility matures on August 16, 2024, with a one year extension option prior to any anniversary of the closing date, provided that in no event shall it extend beyond August 16, 2026. Based on the Company's current long-term senior unsecured debt ratingsUnaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of AA- and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively, the interest rate charged on any outstanding borrowings would be the prevailing London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.46%. The facility fee is 0.04% of the total commitment. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the facility at February 29, 2020. This facility replaces the prior $2 billion credit facility agreement entered into on August 28, 2015, which would have matured August 28, 2020. As of and for the periods ended February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, 0 amounts were outstanding under either committed credit facility.Cash Flows.
As of February 29,August 31, 2020, there have been no other significant changes to the credit lines reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019. Refer to Note 15 — Subsequent Events for additional information about the Company's commercial paper program and its credit facilities.2020.
NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 9.8%11.5% and 14.6%12.4% for the ninethree months ended February 29,August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively. The changedecrease in the Company's effective tax rate was dueattributable to discrete items including a more favorable impact from stock-based compensation, offset by a reserve related to Altera Corp. v. Commissioner where the proportion of income earned intaxpayer was denied a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court on June 22, 2020, thereby ratifying the Ninth Circuit Court's decision and favorable discrete items such asrequiring the inclusion of stock-based compensation and benefits related to a modification of the treatment of certain research and development expenditures. Refer to Note 15 — Subsequent Events for additional information.in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements.
As of February 29,August 31, 2020, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $802$860 million, $555$584 million of which would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. During the three months ended August 31, 2020, the Company recognized $77 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to Altera Corp. v. Commissioner discussed above, of which $71 million impacted the effective tax rate. The majority of the total gross



unrecognized tax benefits are long-term in nature and included within Deferred income taxes and other liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 31, 2019,2020, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $808$771 million. The liability for payment of interest and penalties decreasedincreased by $20$21 million during the ninethree months ended February 29,August 31, 2020. As of February 29,August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019,2020, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were $154$179 million and $174$158 million, respectively (excluding federal benefit).
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for fiscal years 2017 through 2019. The Company has closed all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal 2016, with the exception of certain transfer pricing adjustments.

Tax years after 2009 remain open in certain major foreign jurisdictions. Although the timing of resolution of audits is not certain, the Company evaluates all domestic and foreign audit issues in the aggregate, along with the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, and estimates that it is reasonably possible the total gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $40$50 million within the next 12 months. In January 2019, the European Commission opened a formal investigation to examine whether the Netherlands has breached State Aid rules when granting certain tax rulings to the Company. The Company believes the investigation is without merit. If this matter is adversely resolved, the Netherlands may be required to assess additional amounts with respect to current and prior periods, and the Company's Netherlands income taxes in the future could increase.
In fiscal 2018, as a result of the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), the Company reevaluated its historical indefinite reinvestment assertion and determined that any historical or future undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were no longer considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Effective January 1, 2020, however, the tax law in the Netherlands, one of the Company’s major jurisdictions, changed. As a result of the change in law, the Company’s undistributed earnings in the Netherlands are subject to withholding tax upon distribution. It is the Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest the historical earnings of its foreign subsidiaries in the Netherlands prior to December 31, 2019 to ensure there is sufficient working capital to expand operations outside the United States. Accordingly, the Company has 0t recorded a deferred tax liability related to foreign withholding taxes on approximately $8.7 billion of undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019. Withholding taxes of approximately $1.3 billion would be payable upon the remittance of these undistributed earnings at February 29, 2020. Current earnings not otherwise distributable in the current year are considered indefinitely reinvested in the Company's foreign operations.

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock, the implied volatility in market traded options on the Company's common stock with a term greater than one year, as well as other factors. The weighted average expected life of options is based on an analysis of historical and expected future exercise patterns. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury (constant maturity) risk-free rate in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the options.
As of February 29,August 31, 2020, the Company had $475$378 million of unrecognized compensation costs from stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense,, as applicable, over a weighted average remaining period of 2.72.4 years.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
All changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until until Net income is affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. Effective hedge results are classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same manner as the underlying exposure. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be discontinued when it is no longer probable the forecasted hedged transaction will occur in the initially identified time period. The gains and losses associated with discontinued derivative instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized immediately in Other (income) expense, net,, if it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur by the end of the initially identified time period or within an additional two-monthtwo-month period thereafter. In rare circumstances, the additional period of time may exceed two months due to extenuating circumstances related to the nature of the forecasted transaction that are outside the control or influence of the Company. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company accounts for the derivative as an undesignated instrument as discussed below.
The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $8.2$13.9 billion as of February 29,August 31, 2020. Approximately $322$97 million of deferred net gainslosses (net of tax) on both outstanding and matured derivatives in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of February 29,August 31, 2020, are expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next 12 months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net income.income. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net income are dependent on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts currently outstanding mature. As of February 29,August 31, 2020, the maximum term over which the Company hedges exposures to the variability of cash flows for its forecasted transactions was 2327 months.

Table of Contents


UNDESIGNATED DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company may elect to enter into foreign exchange forwards to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and/or the embedded derivative contracts. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net,, together with the re-measurement gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position and/or embedded derivative contract. The total notional amount of outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $3.6$4.2 billion as of February 29,August 31, 2020.
EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES
Embedded derivative contracts are treated as foreign currency forward contracts that are bifurcated from the related contract and recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net,, through the date the foreign currency fluctuations cease to exist.
At February 29,As of August 31, 2020, the total notional amount of embedded derivatives outstanding was approximately $350$351 million.
CREDIT RISK
The Company's bilateral credit-related contingent features generally require the owing entity, either the Company or the derivative counterparty, to post collateral for the portion of the fair value in excess of $50 million should the fair value of outstanding derivatives per counterparty be greater than $50 million. Additionally, a certain level of decline in credit rating of either the Company or the counterparty could also trigger collateral requirements. As of February 29,August 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all credit risk-related contingent features, and derivative instruments with such features were in a net liability position of approximately $1$611 million. Accordingly, the Company was not required to post any$151 million of cash collateral as a result of these contingent features. Further, 0 amount of collateral was received on the Company's derivative asset balance as of February 29, 2020, the Company had $86 million of cash collateral received from various counterparties to its derivative contracts.August 31, 2020. The Company considers the impact of the risk of counterparty default to be immaterial.
For additional information related to the Company's derivative financial instruments and collateral, refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements.

NOTE 12 — OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company's operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company's internal organization. The NIKE Brand segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE Brand sales activity.
Each NIKE Brand geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and selling of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment. The Company's reportable operating segments for the NIKE Brand are: North America; Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA); Greater China; and Asia Pacific & Latin America (APLA), and include results for the NIKE and Jordan brands, with results for the Hurley brand included in North America. Refer to Note 14 — Acquisitions and Divestitures for information regarding the divestiture of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Hurley, and the planned transition of NIKE Brand businesses in certain countries within APLA to third-party distributors.brands.
The Company's NIKE Direct operations are managed within each NIKE Brand geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable segment for the Company, and operates in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of athletic lifestyle sneakers, apparel and accessories.
Global Brand Divisions is included within the NIKE Brand for presentation purposes to align with the way management views the Company. Global Brand Divisions primarily represent NIKE Brand licensing businesses that are not part of a geographic operating segment, and demand creation and operating overhead expense includingthat include product creation and design expenses that are centrally managed for the NIKE Brand, as well as costs associated with NIKE Direct global digital operations and enterprise technology.
Corporate consists primarily of unallocated general and administrative expenses, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments; depreciation and amortization related to the Company's headquarters; unallocated insurance, benefit and compensation programs, including stock-based compensation; and certain foreign currency gains and losses, including certain hedge gains and losses. For the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, Corporate includes the non-recurring impairment charge, recognized as a result of the Company's decision to transition its operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to third-party distributors. This charge primarily reflects the anticipated release of associated non-cash cumulative foreign currency translation losses. For more information regarding this charge, refer to Note 14 — Acquisitions and Divestitures.
The primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments is earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), which represents Net income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
As part of the Company's centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency rates are assigned twice per year to each NIKE Brand entity in the Company's geographic operating segments and to Converse. These rates are set approximately nine and twelve months in advance of the future selling seasons to which they relate (specifically, for each currency, one standard rate applies to the fall and holiday selling seasons and one standard rate applies to the spring and summer selling seasons) based on average market spot rates in the calendar month preceding the date they are established. Inventories and costCost of sales for geographic operating segments and Converse reflect the use of these standard rates to record non-functional currency product purchases in the entity's functional currency. Differences between assigned standard foreign currency rates and actual market rates are included in Corporate, together with foreign currency hedge gains and losses generated from the Company's centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program and other conversion gains and losses.
Accounts receivable, net, Inventories and Property, plant and equipment, net for operating segments are regularly reviewed by management and are therefore provided below.

NOTE 13 — LEASES
The Company primarily leases retail store space, certain distribution and warehouse facilities, office space, equipment and other non-real estate assets. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and begins recording lease activity at the commencement date, which is generally the date in which the Company takes possession of or controls the physical use of the asset. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of future lease payments unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. As of and for the nine months ended February 29, 2020, finance leases were not a material component of the Company's lease portfolio.
Lease agreements may contain rent escalation clauses, renewal or termination options, rent holidays or certain landlord incentives, including tenant improvement allowances. ROU assetsinclude amounts for scheduled rent increases and are reduced by the amount of lease incentives. The lease term includes the non-cancelable period of the lease and options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise those options. Certain lease agreements include variable lease payments, which are based on a percent of retail sales over specified levels or adjust periodically for inflation as a result of changes in a published index, primarily the Consumer Price Index.
Lease expense is recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, based on the underlying nature of the leased asset. For the three months ended February 29, 2020, lease expense primarily consisted of operating lease costs of $137 million, and $83 million primarily related to variable lease costs which includes an immaterial amount of short-term lease costs. For the nine months ended February 29, 2020, lease expense primarily consisted of operating lease costs of $425 million, and $270 million primarily related to variable lease costs which includes an immaterial amount of short-term lease costs.
Amounts of future undiscounted cash flows related to operating lease payments over the lease term are as follows and are reconciled to the present value of the operating lease liabilities as recorded on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

NOTE 1413 — ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
ACQUISITIONS
During fiscal 2020 and 2019, the Company made multiple acquisitions focused on gaining new capabilities to fuel its Consumer Direct Offense strategy, serving consumers personally at a global scale. The impact of acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, was not considered material to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
DIVESTITURES
During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, as a result of the Company’sCompany's decision to transition its wholesale and direct to consumer operating model in certain countries within its APLA operating segment, the Company signed definitive agreements to sell its NIKE Brand businesses in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to third-party distributors. Specifically, NIKE entered into agreements to sell its operations in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to Grupo Axo and to sell substantially all of its operations in Brazil to Grupo SBF S.A., through its wholly owned subsidiary. The Company will retain a small operation in Brazil focused on certain sports marketing assets, local manufacturing and Converse. These transactions are expected to close in the first half of fiscalprior to January 1, 2021, with Grupo SBF S.A.’s's transaction subject to Brazil Antitrust Authority approvals.
As a result of this decision, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the related assets and liabilities of these entities were classified as held-for-sale and remain as such on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 29,August 31, 2020, which consisted of the following:
Assets of $524 million, primarily consisting of $217 million of Inventories and $210 million of Accounts receivable, net which were reclassified to Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; and
Liabilities of $158 million, primarily consisting of $84 million of Accrued liabilities, as well as $60 million of Accounts Payable, which was reclassified to Accrued liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Upon meetingHeld-for-sale assets of $545 million, classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, primarily consisting of $272 million of Inventories, $174 million of Accounts receivable, net and $54 million of Prepaid expenses and other current assets; and
Held-for-sale liabilities of $88 million, classified within Accrued liabilities, primarily consisting of $52 million of Accrued liabilities, as well as $26 million of Accounts payable.
As of May 31, 2020, the criteria forrelated assets and liabilities of these entities classified as held-for-sale classification,on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following:
Held-for-sale assets of $506 million, classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, primarily consisting of $264 million of Inventories and $138 million of Accounts receivable, net; and
Held-for-sale liabilities of $146 million, classified within Accrued liabilities, primarily consisting of $85 million of Accrued liabilities, as well as $49 million of Accounts payable.
The Company has recognized a non-recurring impairment chargetotal expected losses related to the transaction of $400$438 million within Other (income) expense, net, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, classified within Corporate, and a corresponding allowance within Accrued Liabilitiesliabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This chargeSheets; $405 million of which was recognized in fiscal 2020, primarily upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria. The expected loss is largely due to the anticipated release of non-cashthe cumulative foreign currency translation losses which were included as part of the carrying value ofrecognized by the Argentina, Chile and Uruguay disposal groups when measuring for impairment. These losses will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Net income upon closure of the transaction. For more information see Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements.legal entities.
On October 29, 2019, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the assets and liabilities of its wholly owned subsidiary brand, Hurley. The transaction closed on December 6, 2019, and the impacts of the divestiture are not considered material to the Company.
NOTE 15 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, nearly all NIKE-owned stores outside of Greater China and Korea were closed to help curb the spread of COVID-19 and there can be no assurance as to how long these closures may remain in effect. Furthermore, even after reopening there can be no assurance as to the time required to regain operations and sales at prior levels. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the foreseeable future. However, the Company expects it will have a material, adverse impact on future revenue growth as well as overall profitability and may lead to higher than normal inventory levels, revised payment terms with certain wholesale customers, higher sales-related reserves, factory cancellation costs and a volatile effective tax rate driven by changes in the mix of earnings across the Company's jurisdictions.
In response to the uncertainty of the circumstances described above, the Company has enhanced its liquidity position through the following actions as described below.
On March 27, 2020, the Company issued senior unsecured notes, as outlined in the table below:

These changes will result in a net reduction of the Company's global workforce and the Company entered intoexpects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $315 million, the majority of which relate to employee termination costs and, to a committed credit facility agreement with a syndicatelesser extent, stock-based compensation expense. These amounts reflect the continued evaluation and variability of banks which provides for upour original estimate of employee termination costs and required changes in assumptions used to $2 billioncalculate stock-based compensation expense.

The new facility matures on April 5,related cash expenditures will take place throughout fiscal 2021. Based on the Company's current long-term senior unsecured debt ratings of AA- and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively, the interest rate charged on any outstanding borrowings would be the prevailing LIBOR plus 1.05%. The facility fee is 0.20% of the total commitment. As of April 7, 2020, 0 amounts were outstanding under this committed credit facility.

In June 2020, we announced a new digitally empowered phase of the Consumer Direct Offense strategy: Consumer Direct Acceleration. This strategic acceleration will focus on three specific areas. First, creating the marketplace of the future through more premium, consistent and seamless consumer experiences that more closely align with what consumers want and need. This strategy will lead with NIKE Digital and our own stores, as well as through select strategic partners who share our marketplace vision. Second, we will align our product creation and category organizations around a new consumer construct focused on Men’s, Women's and Kids'. This approach allows us to create product that better meets individual consumer needs, including more specialization of our category approach, while re-aligning and simplifying our offense to accelerate our largest growth opportunities. In particular, we’ll be reinvesting in our Women's and Kids' businesses and will also simplify our operating model across the remainder of the Company to optimize effectiveness. Third, we will unify investments in data and analytics, demand sensing, insight gathering, inventory management and other areas against an end-to-end technology foundation to accelerate our digital transformation. We believe this unified approach will accelerate growth and unlock more efficiency for our business, while driving speed and responsiveness as we serve consumers globally.
As a result of our strategic acceleration, management announced on July 22, 2020, a series of leadership and operating model changes to streamline and speed up our execution. These changes will result in a net reduction of our global workforce and we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $315 million, the majority of which relate to employee termination costs and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation expense. These amounts reflect the continued evaluation and variability of our original estimate of employee termination costs and required changes in assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expense. The amount of costs recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were not material as the majority will be recognized during the second quarter and are subject to change until all details are finalized. The related cash expenditures will take place throughout fiscal 2021. We expect future annual wage-related savings, as a result of these actions, will be reinvested to execute against this next phase of our strategy.
COVID-19 UPDATE
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently declared aThe COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas. As a result, COVID-19 has impactedcontinues to impact our business results and operations globally including through store closures or reduced operating hours and decreased retail traffic. In particular,causing us to transform the outbreak and preventive measures takenway we operate in order to help curbbetter serve our consumers. Since the spread had material adverse impacts on our operations and business results in Greater China during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, following the temporary closure of, or reduced operating hours in, approximately 75 percent of NIKE-owned and partner stores within the region. Similarly, subsequent to the endonset of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, nearly all NIKE-owned stores outside of Greater China and Korea are closed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the length of time these closures will remain in effect. Certain of our wholesale partners have also closed stores, or reduced operating hours, resulting in lower than expected sales and a slowing of receipt of shipments of product from NIKE. Furthermore, even after reopening there can be no assurance as to the time required to regain operations and sales at prior levels.
COVID-19 has also impacted our distribution centers and our third-party manufacturing partners and other vendors, including through the effects of facility closures, reductions in operating hours, labor shortages, and real time changes in operating procedures to accommodate social distancing guidelines and additional cleaning and disinfection procedures.
In response to the outbreak and business disruption, first and foremost,pandemic, we have prioritizedfocused on recalibrating supply and demand, increasing digital distribution capacity, securing liquidity and prudently managing spend, all while ensuring the health and safety of our employees and consumers. As a result, Revenues declined only 1% versus prior year and were flat on a currency-neutral basis, despite physical retail traffic being below prior year levels. Inventory levels declined 9% compared to May 31, 2020, and we have closed our stores. However, our digital commerce remains open, supported byended the employees in the distribution centers. During the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20202021 with $9.5 billion of Cash and equivalents and Short-term investments.
Our NIKE Direct business remains a priority as we navigate through the pandemic, as it enhances our ability to connect directly with the consumer. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, NIKE Direct sales were $3.7 billion, growing 13% on a currency-neutral basis, with growth across all geographies. NIKE Brand digital remained our fastest growing channel, growing 36% on a currency-neutral basis83%, with eachNorth America, APLA and Greater China growing double-digits and EMEA growing triple-digits. Nearly all of our GeographiesNIKE-owned retail stores were open during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 across North America, EMEA and Converse exceeding 30% of digital revenue growth in the quarter. Additionally, as of early April 2020, approximately 95 percent of NIKE-owned and partner stores in Greater China, are open. We are beginning to see our Greater China business recover with continued strong digital demand and retailapproximately 90% of stores open in APLA. However, despite a majority of stores being open during the quarter, we experienced a decline in comparable store traffic increasing on a week-over-week basis. Insales in North America, APLA and EMEA, digital commerce continuesprimarily due to experience strong demand versus the prior year.reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.
We continue to monitor the rapidlyongoing and evolving situation, andas well as guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, givenfiscal 2021 will continue to be a time of uncertainty across each of our geographies and we expect each market recovery will be dynamic. While our results for the dynamic naturefirst quarter of this situation,fiscal 2021 are positive, there remains the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impactsrisk that COVID-19 could have

material adverse impactimpacts on our future revenue growth as well as our overall profitability and may lead to higher than normal inventory levels andin various markets, revised payment terms with certain of our wholesale customers, higher sales-related reserves factory cancellation costs and a volatile effective tax rate driven by changes in the mix of earnings across the Company's jurisdictions.
THIRDFIRST QUARTER OVERVIEW
As we continueFor the first quarter of fiscal 2021, NIKE, Inc. Revenues decreased 1% to execute against$10.6 billion compared to the Consumer Direct Offense, we are focused on optimizing country operating models across our global portfolio and we remain committed to investing in our most significant growth opportunities. During the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2020 we announced our intention to sell our NIKE Brand businesses in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to strategic third-party distributors in an effort to more personally serve consumers in these respective marketplaces while driving sustainable, profitable growth. These transactions are expected to close in the first half of fiscal 2021. As a result of this decision, the related assets and liabilities of these entities were classified as held-for-saleflat on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 29, 2020. Additionally, we recognized a non-recurring impairment charge of $400 million, within Other (income) expense, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, classified within Corporate. This

28




charge was primarily due to the anticipated release of non-cash cumulative foreign currency translation losses, and could fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates up to the date of close. In future quarters, as we shift from a wholesale and direct to consumer operating model to a distributor operating model within these countries, we expect consolidated NIKE, Inc. and APLA revenue growth will be reduced due to differences in commercial terms. However, we expect the future operating model to have a favorable impact on our overall profitability as we reduce selling and administrative expenses, as well as lessen exposure to foreign exchange rate volatility.
On October 29, 2019, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the assets and liabilities of our wholly owned subsidiary brand, Hurley. The transaction closed on December 6, 2019, and the impacts of the divestiture are not considered material to the Company.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, NIKE, Inc. Revenues increased 5% to $10.1 billion compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019. On a currency-neutral basis, Revenues increased 7%. basis. Net income was $847$1,518 million and diluted earnings per common share was $0.53$0.95 for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2020,2021, compared to Net income of $1,101$1,367 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.68$0.86 for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2019.2020.
Income before income taxes decreased 32% increased 10% compared to the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2019, as revenue growth was2020, primarily due to lower selling and administrative expense partially offset by the $400 million non-recurring impairment charge related to our transition to a distributor model in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, a decline in gross margin as well as higher selling and administrative expense.lower revenues. The NIKE Brand, which represents over 90% of NIKE, Inc. Revenues,, delivered 5% revenue growth. declined 1% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Brand revenues grew 6%, driven bywere flat as higher revenues in EMEA North America and APLA,Greater China were offset by declines in Greater China as a result of the impacts from COVID-19. Additionally,APLA and North America. NIKE Brand revenues experiencedrevenue growth acrossin footwear andwas offset by a decline in apparel, as well aswhile growth in nearly all key categories, primarily Sportswear and the Jordan Brand.Brand was offset by declines in all other key categories. Revenues for Converse increased 9%1% and 11%2% on a reported and currency-neutral basis, respectively,, mainly driven by reflecting double-digit growth in Asia and Europe, as well as throughhigher digital sales globally.
Our effective tax rate was 3.9%11.5% for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 12.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to 14.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to the proportion of income earned in the U.S. and discrete items including a more favorable impact from stock-based compensation, as well as benefitsoffset by a reserve related to Altera Corp. v. Commissioner where the taxpayer was denied a modificationhearing before the U.S. Supreme Court on June 22, 2020, thereby ratifying the Ninth Circuit Court's decision and requiring the inclusion of the treatment of certain research and development expenditures.stock-based compensation in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements.
Diluted earnings per common share reflects a 1% decline in therelatively unchanged weighted average diluted common shares outstanding, driven bydue to the temporary suspension of our share repurchase program.
While foreign currency markets remain volatile, in part due to geopolitical dynamics leading to a stronger U.S. Dollar, we continue to see opportunities to drive future growth and profitability. We remain committed to effectively managing our business to achieve our financial goals over the long-term by executing against the operational strategies outlined above.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including references to wholesale equivalent revenues, currency-neutral revenues as well as Total NIKE Brand earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and Total NIKE, Inc. EBIT, which should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). References to wholesale equivalent revenues are intended to provide context as to the total size of our NIKE Brand market footprint if we had no NIKE Direct operations. NIKE Brand wholesale equivalent revenues consist of (1) sales to external wholesale customers and (2) internal sales from our wholesale operations to our NIKE Direct operations, which are charged at prices comparable to those charged to external wholesale customers. Currency-neutral revenues are calculated using actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior year period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. EBIT is calculated as Net Income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial 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. However, references to wholesale equivalent revenues, currency-neutral revenues and EBIT 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.

Unit sales of apparel decreased 6% and lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 1 percentage point. Lower ASP per unit was primarily due to lower full-price ASP and unfavorable full-price mix, partially offset by the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.

Comparable store sales includes revenues from stores that were temporarily closed during the period as a result of



COVID-19. Comparable store sales represents a performance measure 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 measures used by other companies.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
Our operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company's internal organization. The NIKE Brand segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE Brand sales activity.
Each NIKE Brand geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and selling of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment. The Company's reportable operating segments for the NIKE Brand are: North America; Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA); Greater China; and Asia Pacific & Latin America (APLA), and include results for the NIKE and Jordan brands, with results for the Hurley brand included in North America.

The Company's NIKE Direct operations are managed within each geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable operating segment for the Company, and operates predominately in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of athletic lifestyle sneakers, apparel and accessories.
As part of our centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency exchange rates are assigned twice per year to each NIKE Brand entity in our geographic operating segments and Converse. These rates are set approximately nine and twelve months in advance of the future selling seasons to which they relate (specifically, for each currency, one standard rate applies to the fall and holiday selling seasons and one standard rate applies to the spring and summer selling seasons) based on average market spot rates in the calendar month preceding the date they are established. Inventories and costCost of sales for geographic operating segments and Converse reflect the use of these standard rates to record non-functional currency product purchases into the entity's functional currency. Differences between assigned standard foreign currency exchange rates and actual market rates are included in Corporate, together with foreign currency hedge gains and losses generated from our centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program and other conversion gains and losses.

Specifically, in North America weWe anticipate continued evolution within the retail landscape, driven by shifting consumer traffic patterns across digital and physical channels. TheSpecifically, the evolution of the North America marketplace is resulting in third-party retail store closures, which is expected to be further accelerated as a result of the effects of COVID-19; however, we remain focused on building long-term momentum with our differentiated strategic wholesale customers, fueled by our deliberate shifts in product allocations and investments in enhanced consumer experiences leveraging digital.

Operating overhead expense increased primarily as a result of higher bad debt expense related to specific reserves for undifferentiated wholesale customers, as well as higher administrative costs. The increase in demand creation expense was primarily due to higher advertising and marketing costs, as well as higher sports marketing expense, partially offset by lower retail brand presentation costs.

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 ninethree months ended February 29,August 31, 2020, 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.
Refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements and Note 9 — 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 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.2020.

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 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 re-measurement which may create fluctuations in Other (income) expense, net within our consolidated results of operations.
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.
Certain currency forward contracts used to manage the foreign exchange exposure of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities subject to re-measurement and embedded derivative contracts are not formally designated as hedging instruments and are recognized in Other (income) expense, net.

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.equity. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated Revenues was a detriment of approximately $152$111 million and $698$313 million for the three and nine months ended February 29,August 31, 2020 respectively, and a detriment of approximately $356 million and $674 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a detriment of approximately $43$29 million and $195$86 million for the three and nine months ended February 29,August 31, 2020 respectively, and a detriment of approximately $73 million and $116 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, respectively.
Management generally identifies hyper-inflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. Management has concluded our Argentina subsidiary within our APLA operating segment is operating in a hyper-inflationary market. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the functional currency of our Argentina subsidiary changed from the local currency to the U.S. Dollar. As of and for the ninethree months ended February 29,August 31, 2020, this change did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition and we do not anticipate it will have a material impact in future periods based on current rates.
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 $20 million and $112$38 million on our Income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, respectively.August 31, 2020.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, toTo enhance our liquidity position in response to COVID-19, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we elected to temporarily suspend share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program. As such, there were no share repurchases made during the quarter ended August 31, 2020. 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 capital needs and other factors. We continue to expect funding of share repurchases will come from operating cash flows, excess cash and/or proceeds from debt.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
On July 23, 2019, we filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which permits us to issue an unlimited amount of debt securities from time to time. The Shelf expires on July 23, 2022. On March 27, 2020, subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we issued $6 billion of senior unsecured notes. Refer to Note 15 — Subsequent Events within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
On August 16, 2019, we entered into aOur committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of banks which providesfacilities remain unchanged from the information previously reported on Form 10-K for up to $2 billion of borrowings, with the option to increase borrowings up to $3 billion in total upon lender approval. The facility matures on August 16, 2024, with a one-year extension option prior to any anniversary of the closing date, provided that in no event shall it extend beyond August 16, 2026. This facility replaces the prior $2 billion credit facility agreement entered into on August 28, 2015, which would have matured August 28,fiscal year ended May 31, 2020. In addition to our existing credit facility, on April 6, 2020, we entered into a new committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of banks which provides for up to $2 billion of borrowings. Refer to Note 15 — Subsequent Events within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information, as well as Part II Item 5. Other Information. As of February 29,August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2019,2020, no amounts were outstanding under our committed credit facilities.
We currently have long-term debt ratings of AA- and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively. As it relatesAny changes to our committed credit facility entered into on August 16, 2019, if our long-term debtthese ratings were to decline, thecould result in interest rate and facility fee and interest rate would increase. Conversely, if our long-term debt ratings were to improve, the facility fee and interest rate would decrease. Under the committed credit facility entered into on April 6, 2020, if our long-term debt ratings were to decline, only the interest rate would increase, but would remain unchangedchanges as outlined in the event our long-term debt rating were to improve. Changes in our long-term debt ratings would not trigger acceleration of maturity of any then-outstanding borrowings or any future borrowings under the committed credit facilities. Under these facilities, we have agreed to various covenants. These covenants include limits on our disposal of fixed assets and the amount of debt secured by liens we may incur. In the event we were to have any borrowings outstanding under a facility and failed to meet any covenant, and were unable to obtain a waiver from a majority of the banks in the syndicate, any borrowings under such facility would become immediately due and payable.most recent Form 10-K. As of February 29,August 31, 2020, we were in full compliance with each of thesethe covenants under the existingour committed credit facilityfacilities and believe it is unlikely we will fail to meet any of thesethe covenants in the foreseeable future.

To date, in fiscal 2020,2021, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets; however, future volatility in the capital markets may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets.
As of February 29,August 31, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $3.2$9.5 billion, primarily consisting of commercial paper, corporate notes, deposits held at major banks, money market funds, U.S. government sponsored enterprise obligations, 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 29,August 31, 2020, the weighted-average days to maturity of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 3120 days.

We believe that existing cash, cash 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.
We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to manage our worldwide cash and deploy funds to locations where they are needed. We indefinitely reinvest a significant portion of our foreign earnings, and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these earnings. Should we require additional capital in the United States, we may determine to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the United States through debt. Given our existing structure, if we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings, we would be required to accrue and pay withholding taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of February 29,August 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.2020.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesThere have been no material changes in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for recently adopted and recently issued or adopted accounting standards.standards from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
Our critical accounting policy related to Income Taxes has changed from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The changes to the policy are reflected below.
36
INCOME TAXES


We have not recorded income tax expense for foreign earnings we have determined to be indefinitely reinvested within certain of our foreign jurisdictions. The amount of earnings indefinitely reinvested offshore is due to the actual deployment of such earnings in our offshore operations and our expectations of the future cash needs of our U.S. and foreign entities. Income tax consequences are also a factor in determining the amount of foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested offshore.
We carefully review all factors that drive the ultimate disposition of foreign earnings determined to be reinvested offshore and apply stringent standards to overcome the presumption of repatriation. Despite this approach, because the determination is based on expected working capital and other capital needs in jurisdictions where the earnings are generated, the possibility exists that foreign earnings declared as indefinitely reinvested may be repatriated. For instance, the actual cash needs of our U.S. operations may exceed our current expectations, or the actual cash needs of our foreign entities may be less than our current expectations. This would result in additional income tax expense in the year we determined amounts were no longer indefinitely reinvested offshore.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that ensure 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 Securities and Exchange Commission'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 February 29,August 31, 2020.
We are continuing several transformation initiatives to centralize and simplify our business processes and systems. These are long-term initiatives, which we believe will enhance our internal control over financial reporting due to increased automation and further integration of related processes. We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting for effectiveness throughout these transformation initiatives.
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.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ANALYST REPORTS
Certain written and oral statements, other than purely historic information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to NIKE’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, made or incorporated by reference from time to time by NIKE or its representatives in this report, other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,SEC, press releases, conferences or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” or words or phrases of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in reports filed by NIKE with the Securities and Exchange Commission,SEC, including reports filed on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K, and include, among others, the following: health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic; international, national and local generalpolitical, civil, economic and market conditions; the size and growth of the overall athletic footwear, apparel and equipment markets; intense competition among designers, marketers, distributors and sellers of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment for consumers and endorsers; demographic changes; changes in consumer preferences; popularity of particular designs, categories of products and sports; seasonal and geographic demand for NIKE products; difficulties in anticipating or forecasting changes in consumer preferences, consumer demand for NIKE products and the various market factors described above; difficulties in implementing, operating and maintaining NIKE’s increasingly complex information technology systems and controls, including, without limitation, the systems related to demand and supply planning and inventory control; interruptions in data and information technology systems; consumer data security; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results, including, without limitation, the fact that advance orders may not be indicative of future revenues due to changes in shipment timing, the changing mix of orders with shorter lead times, and discounts, order cancellations and returns; the ability of NIKE to sustain, manage or forecast its growth and inventories; the size, timing and mix of purchases of NIKE’s products; increases in the cost of materials, labor and energy used to manufacture products; new product development and introduction; the ability to secure and protect trademarks, patents and other intellectual property; product performance and quality; customer service; adverse publicity, including without limitation, through social media or in connection with brand damaging events; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; dependence on distributors and licensees; business disruptions; increased costs of freight and transportation to meet delivery deadlines; increases in borrowing costs due to any decline in NIKE’s debt ratings; changes in business strategy or development plans; general risks associated with doing business outside of the United States, including, without limitation, exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, import duties, tariffs, quotas, political and economic instability and terrorism; the impact of recent U.S. tax reform legislation on our results of operations; the politicalpotential impact of new laws, regulations or policy, including, without limitation, tariffs, import/export, trade and immigration regulations or policies; changes in government regulations; the impact of, including business and legal developments relating to, climate change and natural disasters; litigation, regulatory proceedings, andsanctions or any other claims asserted against NIKE; the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, and any negative public perception with respect to personnel;key personnel or our corporate culture, values or purpose; the effects of NIKE’s decision to invest in or divest of businesses and other factors referenced or incorporated by reference in this report and other reports.
The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors which could adversely affect NIKE’s business and financial performance. Moreover, NIKE operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact of all such risks on NIKE’s business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
38
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 issuing or 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.





PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material developments with respect to the information previously reported under Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.2020.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following represents aThere have been no material changechanges in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.
Our financial condition and results of operations have been and are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus outbreak.
A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. To date, this outbreak, which has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world, and preventative measures taken to contain or mitigate the outbreak have caused, and are continuing to cause, business slowdown or shutdown in affected areas and significant disruption in the financial markets both globally and in the United States, which could lead to a decline in discretionary spending by consumers, and in turn impact, possibly materially, our business, sales, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the degree to, or the time period over, which our sales and operations will be affected by this outbreak and preventative measures, and the effects could be material. The impacts include, but are not limited to:
Retail store closures or reduced operating hours and/or decreased retail traffic;
Disruption to our distribution centers and our third-party manufacturing partners and other vendors, including through the effects of facility closures, reductions in operating hours, labor shortages, and real time changes in operating procedures, including for additional cleaning and disinfection procedures;
Impacts to our distribution and logistics providers’ ability to operate or increases in their operating costs. These supply chain effects may have an adverse effect on our ability to meet consumer demand, including digital demand, and could result in an increase in our costs of production and distribution, including increased freight and logistics costs and other expenses; and
Significant disruption of global financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital in the future.
The further spread of COVID-19, and the requirements to take action to help limit the spread of the illness, will impact our ability to carry out our business as usual and may materially adversely impact global economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Even in those regions where we are beginning to experience business recovery, such as Greater China, should those regions fail to fully contain COVID-19 or suffer a COVID-19 relapse, those markets may not recover as quickly or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On April 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other Banks named therein (the “Credit Agreement”).August 31, 2020. The Credit Agreement provides for up to $2 billion of borrowings in U.S. Dollars pursuant to a 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including supporting the issuance of commercial paper. The Credit Facility matures on April 5, 2021.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at NIKE’s option, at either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (b) a base rate defined as the highest of (i) the Bank of America “prime rate”, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the one month LIBOR plus 1.00%. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans will range from 1.05% to 1.80% based on the public ratings of NIKE’s long-term, senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced indebtedness for borrowed money. NIKE may select interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months for LIBOR loans, subject to availability. Interest shall be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional liens; engage in mergers, acquisitions and dispositions; engage in transactions with affiliates; and use proceeds of loans under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement does not include any financial covenants.
The description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entiretyexisting program remains authorized by the copy thereof which is attached as Exhibit 10.5Board of Directors and incorporated herein by reference.
