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”) and reflect all normal 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, 2016 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 six months ended November 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to fiscal 2017 presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The updated guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard on a retrospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this standard reduced both Deferred income taxes and other assets and Long-term debt by$17 million on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 31, 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The updated guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of inventory will continue to be deferred until the inventory has been sold to a third party. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect recognized through retained earnings at the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this update will have on its existing accounting policies and the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company anticipates the updated guidance could have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements at adoption through the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of previously deferred charges.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees. The updated guidance requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies from share-based payment awards to be recorded in income tax expense in the income statement. Currently, excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recognized in shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet. In addition, the updated guidance also changes the accounting for forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as the classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company will adopt the standard on June 1, 2017. The Company continues to evaluate the impact this update will have on its existing accounting policies and the Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, the ASU is expected to result in increased volatility to the Company’s income tax expense in future periods dependent upon, among other variables, the price of its common stock and the timing and volume of share-based payment award activity, such as employee exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), that replaces existing lease accounting guidance. The new standard is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new guidance will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company will adopt the standard on June 1, 2019. The ASU is required to be applied using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the earliest period presented, with optional practical expedients. The Company is in the preliminary stages of the assessment of the effect the guidance will have on its existing accounting policies and the Consolidated Financial Statements, but expects there will be an increase in assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at adoption due to the recording of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, which may be material. Refer to Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 for information about the Company’s lease obligations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The update to the standard is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),that replaces existing revenue recognition guidance. The updated guidance requires companies to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company expects to adopt the standard on June 1, 2018. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new standard against its existing accounting policies, including the timing of revenue recognition, and its contracts with customers, to determine the effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) Other consists of various accrued expenses with no individual item accounting for more than 5% of the total Accrued liabilities balance at November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivatives and available-for-sale securities. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. The Company uses the three-level hierarchy established by the FASB that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach).

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

• Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most conservative level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Pricing vendors are utilized for certain Level 1 and Level 2 investments. These vendors either provide a quoted market price in an active market or use observable inputs without applying significant adjustments in their pricing. Observable inputs include broker quotes, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities and credit risks. The fair value of derivative contracts is determined using observable market inputs such as the daily market foreign currency rates, forward pricing curves, currency volatilities, currency correlations and interest rates and considers nonperformance risk of the Company and that of its counterparties.

The Company’s fair value processes include controls that are designed to ensure appropriate fair values are recorded. These controls include a comparison of fair values to another independent pricing vendor.

The Company elects to record the gross assets and liabilities of its derivative financial instruments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements that allow for the offset of assets and liabilities in the event of default or early termination of the contract. Any amounts of cash collateral received related to these instruments associated with the Company's credit-related contingent features are recorded in Cash and equivalents and Accrued liabilities, the latter of which would further offset against the Company’s derivative asset balance (refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives). Any amounts of cash collateral posted related to these instruments associated with the Company's credit-related contingent features are recorded in Prepaid and other current assets, which would offset against the Company’s derivative liability balance (refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives). Cash collateral received or posted related to the Company's credit-related contingent features is presented in the Cash provided by operations component of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any amounts of non-cash collateral received, such as securities, are not recorded on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets pursuant to U.S. GAAP.

(2) As of May 31, 2016, no amount of cash collateral had been received or posted on the derivative asset or liability balance related to the Company's interest rate swaps.

Available-for-sale securities comprise investments in U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, time deposits, money market funds, corporate commercial paper and bonds. These securities are valued using market prices in both active markets (Level 1) and less active markets (Level 2). As of November 30, 2016, the Company held $1,369 million of available-for-sale securities with maturity dates within one year and $235 million with maturity dates over one year and less than five years within Short-term investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities were immaterial for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities included in Accumulated other comprehensive income were immaterial as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016. The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not consider any of its securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired and, accordingly, did not recognize any impairment losses.

Included in Interest expense (income), net for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 was interest income related to the Company's available-for-sale securities of $5 million and $2 million, respectively, and $9 million and $4 million for the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company’s Level 3 assets comprise investments in certain non-marketable preferred stock. These Level 3 investments are an immaterial portion of the Company's portfolio. Changes in Level 3 investment assets were immaterial during the six months ended November 30, 2016 and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

No transfers among levels within the fair value hierarchy occurred during the six months ended November 30, 2016 and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

Derivative financial instruments include foreign exchange forwards and options, embedded derivatives and interest rate swaps. Refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives for additional detail.

As of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were immaterial.

(1) These senior unsecured obligations rank equally with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

(2) The bonds are redeemable at the Company's option prior to February 1, 2023 and November 1, 2042, respectively, at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. Subsequent to February 1, 2023 and November 1, 2042, respectively, the bonds also feature a par call provision, which allows for the bonds to be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

(3) The bonds are redeemable at the Company's option prior to August 1, 2026 and May 1, 2046, respectively, at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. Subsequent to August 1, 2026 and May 1, 2046, respectively, the bonds also feature a par call provision, which allows for the bonds to be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

(4) The bonds are redeemable at the Company's option prior to May 1, 2045, at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. Subsequent to May 1, 2045, the bonds also feature a par call provision, which allows for the bonds to be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

(5) The Company assumed a total of $59 million in bonds payable as part of its agreement to purchase certain Corporate properties; this was treated as a non-cash financing transaction. The property serves as collateral for the debt. The purchase of these properties was accounted for as a business combination where the total consideration of $85 million was allocated to the land and buildings acquired; no other tangible or intangible assets or liabilities resulted from the purchase. During the year ended May 31, 2016, the notes due January 1, 2018 were legally defeased and an insignificant loss on defeasance was recognized. The remaining bonds mature in 2017 and the Company does not have the ability to re-negotiate the terms of the debt agreement.

(6) NIKE Logistics YK assumed a total of ¥13 billion in loans as part of its agreement to purchase a distribution center in Japan, which serves as collateral for the loans. These loans mature in equal quarterly installments during the period August 20, 2001 through November 20, 2020.

The scheduled maturity of Long-term debt in each of the twelve month periods ending November 30, 2017 through 2021 are $44 million, $6 million, $6 million, $6 million and $0 million, respectively, at face value.

The Company’s 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 $3,374 million at November 30, 2016 and $2,125 million at May 31, 2016.

Note 6 — Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 12.7% and 18.7% for the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to a discrete benefit related to the resolution of a foreign tax credit matter with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Company also benefited from a one-time adjustment to a deferred tax asset related to the nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

As of November 30, 2016, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $397 million, $174 million of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. As of May 31, 2016, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $506 million. The liability for payment of interest and penalties increased $11 million during the six months ended November 30, 2016. As of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were $220 million and $209 million, respectively (excluding federal benefit).

12

The Company incurs tax liabilities primarily in the United States, China and the Netherlands, as well as various state and other foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for fiscal years 2013 through 2016. As previously disclosed, the Company received statutory notices of deficiency for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 proposing a total increase in tax of $254 million, subject to interest, related to a foreign tax credit matter. The Company contested these deficiencies by filing petitions with the U.S. Tax Court. During the three months ended August 31, 2016, the Company reached a resolution with the IRS on this matter. Decisions were subsequently filed in U.S. District Tax Court stating there is no deficiency in income tax due from the Company. The Company has now resolved all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal 2012.

The Company’s major foreign jurisdictions, China and the Netherlands, have concluded substantially all income tax matters through calendar 2005 and fiscal 2010, respectively. 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 $170 million within the next 12 months.

Note 7 — Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation

The authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock, no par value, and Class B Common Stock, no par value, are 400 million and 2,400 million, respectively. Each share of Class A Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class B Common Stock. Voting rights of Class B Common Stock are limited in certain circumstances with respect to the election of directors. There are no differences in the dividend and liquidation preferences or participation rights of the holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock.

The NIKE, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 718 million previously unissued shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with stock options and other awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of non-statutory stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. The exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. A committee of the Board of Directors administers the Stock Incentive Plan. The committee has the authority to determine the employees to whom awards will be made, the amount of the awards and the other terms and conditions of the awards. Substantially all stock option grants outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan are granted in the first quarter of each fiscal year, vest ratably over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

In addition to the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company gives employees the right to purchase shares at a discount to the market price under employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs). Employees are eligible to participate through payroll deductions of up to 10% of their compensation. At the end of each six month offering period, shares are purchased by the participants at 85% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of the offering period.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and employees’ purchase rights under the ESPPs using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes this fair value as Operating overhead expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

The following table summarizes the Company’s total stock-based compensation expense recognized in Operating overhead expense: 

	Three Months Ended November 30,				Six Months Ended November 30,
(In millions)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Stock options(1)	$	36	$	45	$	75	$	84
ESPPs	11		8		20		15
Restricted stock	7		9		16		17
TOTAL STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE	$	54	$	62	$	111	$	116

(1) Expense for stock options includes the expense associated with stock appreciation rights. Accelerated stock option expense is recorded for employees eligible for accelerated stock option vesting upon retirement. Accelerated stock option expense was $3 million and $8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $8 million and $14 million for the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of November 30, 2016, the Company had $271 million of unrecognized compensation costs from stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized in Operating overhead expense over a weighted average remaining period of 2.4 years.

The weighted average fair value per share of the options granted during the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, computed as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $9.38 and $12.67, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate these fair values were as follows:

	Six Months Ended November 30,
	2016		2015
Dividend yield	1.1	%	1.0	%
Expected volatility	17.4	%	23.6	%
Weighted average expected life (in years)	6.0		5.8
Risk-free interest rate	1.3	%	1.7	%

The Company estimates the expected volatility based on the implied volatility in market traded options on the Company’s common stock with a term greater than one year, along with 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.

Note 8 — Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation from basic earnings per common share to diluted earnings per common share. The computations of diluted earnings per common share excluded options, including shares under employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs), to purchase an additional 31.4 million and 21.2 million shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 31.4 million and 21.1 million shares of common stock outstanding for the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because the options were anti-dilutive.

Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives

The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company may elect to designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents all relationships between designated hedging instruments and hedged items as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as hedges to either recognized assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions.

The majority of derivatives outstanding as of November 30, 2016 are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, primarily for Euro/U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar and British Pound/Euro currency pairs. All derivatives are recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date.

14

The following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments included within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016:

(1) All interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges meet the shortcut method requirements under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps are considered to exactly offset changes in the fair value of the underlying long-term debt. Refer to “Fair Value Hedges” in this note for additional detail.

Refer to Note 3 — Accrued Liabilities for derivative instruments recorded in Accrued liabilities, Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements for a description of how the above financial instruments are valued and Note 10 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for additional information on changes in Accumulated other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015.

Cash Flow Hedges

The purpose of the Company's foreign exchange risk management program is to lessen both the positive and negative effects of currency fluctuations on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Foreign currency exposures that the Company may elect to hedge in this manner include product cost exposures, non-functional currency denominated external and intercompany revenues, selling and administrative expenses, investments in U.S. Dollar-denominated available-for-sale debt securities and certain other intercompany transactions.

Product cost exposures are primarily generated through non-functional currency denominated product purchases and the foreign currency adjustment program described below. NIKE entities primarily purchase product in two ways: (1) Certain NIKE entities purchase product from the NIKE Trading Company (NTC), a wholly-owned sourcing hub that buys NIKE branded product from third-party factories, predominantly in U.S. Dollars. The NTC, whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, then sells the product to NIKE entities in their respective functional currencies. When the NTC sells to a NIKE entity with a different functional currency, the result is a foreign currency exposure for the NTC. (2) Other NIKE entities purchase product directly from third-party factories in U.S. Dollars. These purchases generate a foreign currency exposure for those NIKE entities with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar.

The Company operates a foreign currency adjustment program with certain factories. The program is designed to more effectively manage foreign currency risk by assuming certain of the factories’ foreign currency exposures, some of which are natural offsets to the Company's existing foreign currency exposures. Under this program, the Company’s payments to these factories are adjusted for rate fluctuations in the basket of currencies (“factory currency exposure index”) in which the labor, materials and overhead costs incurred by the factories in the production of NIKE branded products (“factory input costs”) are denominated. For the portion of the indices denominated in the local or functional currency of the factory, the Company may elect to enter into derivative contracts formally designated as cash flow hedges. For all currencies within the indices, excluding the U.S. Dollar and the local or functional currency of the factory, an embedded derivative contract is created upon the factory’s acceptance of NIKE’s purchase order. Embedded derivative contracts are separated from the related purchase order, as further described within the Embedded Derivatives section below.

The Company’s policy permits the utilization of derivatives to reduce its foreign currency exposures where internal netting or other strategies cannot be effectively employed. Typically, the Company may enter into hedge contracts starting up to 12 to 24 months in advance of the forecasted transaction and may place incremental hedges up to 100% of the exposure by the time the forecasted transaction occurs. The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $10.2 billion as of November 30, 2016.

16

During the three months ended November 30, 2016, the Company terminated all forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $1.5 billion in connection with the October 21, 2016 debt issuance (refer to Note 5 — Long-Term Debt). Upon termination of these forward-starting swaps, the Company made cash payments to the related counterparties of $92 million, which was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and will be released through Interest expense (income), net as interest expense is incurred over the term of the issued debt.

All changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, excluding any ineffective portion, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income until Net income is affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. In most cases, amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income will be released to Net income in periods following the maturity of the related derivative, rather than at maturity. Effective hedge results are classified within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same manner as the underlying exposure. The results of hedges of non-functional currency denominated revenues and product cost exposures, excluding embedded derivatives, are recorded in Revenues or Cost of sales when theunderlying hedged transaction affects consolidated Net income. Results of hedges of selling and administrative expense are recorded together with those costs when the related expense is recorded. Amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to forward-starting interest rate swaps will be released through Interest expense (income), net as interest expense is incurred over the term of the issued debt. Results of hedges of anticipated purchases of U.S. Dollar-denominated available-for-sale securities are recorded in Other (income) expense, net when the securities are sold. Results of hedges of certain anticipated intercompany transactions are recorded in Other (income) expense, net when the transaction occurs. The Company classifies the cash flows at settlement from these designated cash flow hedge derivatives in the same category as the cash flows from the related hedged items, primarily within the Cash provided by operations component of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Premiums paid or received on options are initially recorded as deferred charges or deferred credits, respectively. The Company assesses the effectiveness of options based on the total cash flows method and records total changes in the options’ fair value to Accumulated other comprehensive income to the degree they are effective.

The Company formally assesses, both at a hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in the hedging transaction have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. Effectiveness for cash flow hedges is assessed based on changes in forward rates. Ineffectiveness was immaterial for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) it determines that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item (including hedged items such as firm commitments or forecasted transactions); (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; or (4) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur in the originally expected period, but is expected to occur within an additional two-month period of time thereafter, the gain or loss on the derivative remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified to Net income when the forecasted transaction affects consolidated Net income. However, if it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter, the gains and losses that were in Accumulated other comprehensive income will be recognized immediately in Other (income) expense, net. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company will carry the derivative at its fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, recognizing future changes in the fair value in Other (income) expense, net. For the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, the amounts recorded in Other (income) expense, net as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedging because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring were immaterial.

As of November 30, 2016, $454 million of deferred net gains (net of tax) on both outstanding and matured derivatives in Accumulated other comprehensive income were expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next 12 months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net income. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net income are dependent on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. As of November 30, 2016, the maximum term over which the Company was hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows for its forecasted transactions was 24 months.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company has, in the past, been exposed to the risk of changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate debt attributable to changes in interest rates. Derivatives used by the Company to hedge this risk are receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps. All interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of the related long-term debt meet the shortcut method requirements under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps are considered to exactly offset changes in the fair value of the underlying long-term debt. The cash flows associated with the Company’s fair value hedges are periodic interest payments while the swaps are outstanding, which are reflected within the Cash provided by operations component of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company recorded no ineffectiveness from its interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 or 2015. On October 15, 2015, the Company repaid the long-term debt which had previously been hedged with these interest rate swaps. Accordingly, as of November 30, 2016, the Company had no interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company has, in the past, hedged and may, in the future, hedge the risk of variability in foreign-currency-denominated net investments in wholly-owned international operations. All changes in fair value of the derivatives designated as net investment hedges, except ineffective portions, are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those investments. The Company classifies the cash flows at settlement of its net investment hedges within the Cash provided (used) by investing activities component of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on changes in forward rates. The Company recorded no ineffectiveness from its net investment hedges for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 or 2015. The Company had no outstanding net investment hedges as of November 30, 2016.

17

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 embedded derivative contracts. These forwards are not designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, 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 or embedded derivative contract. The Company classifies the cash flows at settlement from undesignated instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the related hedged items, generally within the Cash provided by operations component of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The total notional amount of outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $7.2 billion as of November 30, 2016.

Embedded Derivatives

As part of the foreign currency adjustment program described above, an embedded derivative contract is created upon the factory’s acceptance of NIKE’s purchase order for currencies within the factory currency exposure indices that are neither the U.S. Dollar nor the local or functional currency of the factory. Embedded derivative contracts are treated as foreign currency forward contracts that are bifurcated from the related purchase order 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 from the date a purchase order is accepted by a factory through the date the purchase price is no longer subject to foreign currency fluctuations.

In addition, the Company has entered into certain other contractual agreements which have payments that are indexed to currencies that are not the functional currency of either substantial party to the contracts. These payment terms expose NIKE to variability in foreign exchange rates and create embedded derivative contracts that must be bifurcated from the related contract and recorded at fair value as derivative assets or liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding changes in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net until each payment is settled.

At November 30, 2016, the total notional amount of embedded derivatives outstanding was approximately $248 million.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to hedging instruments. The counterparties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. However, this does not eliminate the Company’s exposure to credit risk with these institutions. This credit risk is limited to the unrealized gains in such contracts should any of these counterparties fail to perform as contracted. To manage this risk, the Company has established strict counterparty credit guidelines that are continually monitored.

The Company’s derivative contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features designed to protect against significant deterioration in counterparties’ creditworthiness and their ultimate ability to settle outstanding derivative contracts in the normal course of business. 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 November 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all credit risk-related contingent features and derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a net liability position were insignificant. Accordingly, the Company was not required to post any collateral as a result of these contingent features. Further, as of November 30, 2016, the Company had received $369 million of cash collateral from various counterparties to its derivative contracts (refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements). The Company considers the impact of the risk of counterparty default to be immaterial.

Note 11 — 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, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, Greater China, Japan and Emerging Markets, and include results for the NIKE, Jordan and Hurley brands. The Company’s NIKE Brand Direct to Consumer (DTC) operations are managed within each geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable segment for the Company, and operates in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of casual 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 represents NIKE Brand licensing businesses that are not part of a geographic operating segment, and demand creation, operating overhead and product creation and design expenses that are centrally managed for the NIKE Brand.

Corporate consists largely 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.

The primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments is earnings before interest and taxes (commonly referred to as “EBIT”), which represents Net income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the 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 Cost 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.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

NIKE, Inc. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 6% to $8.2 billion. On a currency-neutral basis, Revenues increased 8%. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $842 million and diluted earnings per common share was $0.50, 7% and 11% higher, respectively, than the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Income before income taxes increased 15% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 as revenue growth and a decrease in selling and administrative expense was partially offset by lower gross margin. The NIKE Brand, which represents over 90% of NIKE, Inc. Revenues, delivered 6% revenue growth. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Brand revenues grew 8%, driven by higher revenues across nearly all geographies, all product engines and our Sportswear, Running, Jordan Brand and Men's Training categories. Revenues for Converse increased 5% on both a reported and constant currency basis primarily due to revenue growth in direct distribution markets, most notably the United States.

Our effective tax rate was 24.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to 19.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The change was primarily due to an increase in the mix of earnings from the United States, which are generally subject to a higher tax rate.

Diluted earnings per common share benefited from a 3% decline in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, driven by our share repurchase program.

(1) The percentage change has been calculated using actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior year period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends by excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

(2) Global Brand Divisions revenues are primarily attributable to NIKE Brand licensing businesses that are not part of a geographic operating segment.

(3) Corporate revenues primarily consist of foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program.

On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE, Inc. Revenues grew 8% and 9% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, driven by higher revenues for the NIKE Brand and Converse. Nearly every NIKE Brand geography delivered higher revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 as our category offense continued to deliver innovative products, deep brand connections and compelling retail experiences to consumers online and at NIKE-owned and retail partner stores, driving strong demand for NIKE Brand products. For both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, revenue growth was broad-based as North America, Western Europe, Greater China and Emerging Markets each contributed approximately 2 percentage points of the increase in NIKE, Inc. Revenues. Central & Eastern Europe contributed approximately 1 percentage point for the year-to-date period.

For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, constant currency NIKE Brand footwear revenues increased as strong growth in our Sportswear, Running and Jordan Brand categories more than offset declines in other categories, most notably Football (Soccer) and NIKE Basketball. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of footwear increased approximately 4% and 5%, respectively, with higher average selling price (ASP) per pair contributing approximately 3 percentage points of footwear revenue growth for both periods. The increase in ASP per pair for both periods was primarily driven by higher full-price ASP and the favorable impact of growth in our Direct to Consumer (DTC) business, partially offset by higher off-price mix.

The currency-neutral growth in NIKE Brand apparel revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was driven by increases in most key categories, led by Sportswear, Men's Training, Running and Football (Soccer). For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of apparel increased approximately 5% and 7%, respectively. Higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 4 percentage points of apparel revenue growth for both periods, primarily due to higher full-price ASP.

While wholesale revenues remain the largest component of overall NIKE Brand revenues, we continue to expand our NIKE Brand DTC operations in each of our geographies. Our NIKE Brand DTC operations include NIKE-owned in-line and factory stores, as well as NIKE-owned digital commerce. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, DTC revenues represented approximately 28% and 27% of our total NIKE Brand revenues, respectively, compared to 24% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2016. On a currency-neutral basis, DTC revenues grew 25% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017, driven by strong digital commerce sales growth, comparable store sales growth of 11% and the addition of new stores. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, constant currency DTC revenues grew 23% due to significant digital commerce sales growth, the addition of new stores and comparable store sales growth of 10%. Comparable store sales include revenues from NIKE-owned in-line and factory stores for which all three of the following requirements have been met: (1) the store has been open at least one year, (2) square footage has not changed by more than 15% within the past year and (3) the store has not been permanently repositioned within the past year. Digital commerce sales, which are not included in comparable store sales, grew 49% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017. Digital commerce sales represented approximately 25% and 23% of our total NIKE Brand DTC revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, compared to 21% and 19% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2016, respectively.

Futures Orders

Futures orders for NIKE Brand footwear and apparel scheduled for delivery from December 2016 through April 2017 totaled $12.3 billion, flat compared to the prior year period. NIKE Brand reported futures orders include (1) orders from external wholesale customers and (2) internal orders from our DTC in-line stores and digital commerce operations, which are reflected at prices that are comparable to prices charged to external wholesale customers. The U.S. Dollar futures orders amount is calculated based upon our internal forecast of the currency exchange rates under which our revenues will be translated during this period. Excluding the impact of currency changes, futures orders increased 2%, with unit orders increasing 1% and ASP per unit contributing approximately 1 percentage point of growth.

By geography, futures orders growth was as follows: 

	Reported Futures Orders		Futures Orders  Excluding Currency Changes(1)
North America	-4	%	-4	%
Western Europe	-4	%	2	%
Central & Eastern Europe	4	%	6	%
Greater China	6	%	12	%
Japan	10	%	5	%
Emerging Markets	9	%	10	%
TOTAL NIKE BRAND FUTURES ORDERS	0	%	2	%

(1) Futures orders growth has been calculated using prior year exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The reported futures orders growth is not necessarily indicative of our expectation of revenue growth during this period. This is due to year-over-year changes in shipment timing, changes in the mix of orders between futures and at-once orders, and because the fulfillment of certain orders may fall outside of the schedule noted above. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations as well as differing levels of order cancellations, discounts and returns can cause differences in the comparisons between futures orders and actual revenues. Moreover, a portion of our revenue is not derived from futures orders, including sales of at-once and closeout NIKE Brand footwear and apparel, all sales of NIKE Brand equipment, the difference between retail sales and internal orders from our DTC in-line stores and digital commerce operations, and sales from Converse, NIKE Golf and Hurley.

Gross Margin

	Three Months Ended November 30,								Six Months Ended November 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2016			2015			% Change		2016			2015			% Change
Gross profit	$	3,616		$	3,501		3	%	$	7,739		$	7,496		3	%
Gross margin %	44.2		%	45.6		%	(140) bps		44.9		%	46.6		%	(170) bps

For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, our consolidated gross margin was 140 and 170 basis points lower than the respective prior year periods, primarily driven by the following factors:

• Higher NIKE Brand full-price ASP, net of discounts (increasing gross margin approximately 80 basis points for the second quarter and 70 basis points for the first six months) aligned with our strategy to deliver innovative, premium products to the consumer;

• Higher NIKE Brand product costs (decreasing gross margin approximately 80 basis points for the second quarter and 60 basis points for the first six months) as labor input cost inflation more than offset lower material input costs;

• Unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, net of hedges (decreasing gross margin approximately 70 basis points for the second quarter and 50 basis points for the first six months);

• Unfavorable impact of increased off-price sales (decreasing gross margin approximately 30 basis points for both the second quarter and first six months);

• Lower gross margin from Converse for the second quarter (decreasing gross margin approximately 20 basis points) primarily due to the negative impact of lower licensing revenues and increased off-price sales; for the first six months, Converse gross margin was lower (decreasing gross margin approximately 20 basis points) primarily due to higher product costs, increased off-price sales and lower licensing revenues; and

• Higher other costs (having an insignificant impact on gross margin for the second quarter and decreasing gross margin approximately 40 basis points for the first six months) primarily driven by investments in sourcing and manufacturing resources as well as warehousing and logistics costs.

(1) Demand creation expense consists of advertising and promotion costs, including costs of endorsement contracts, television, digital and print advertising, brand events and retail brand presentation.

Demand creation expense decreased 1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily due to lower advertising and retail brand presentation costs, partially offset by an increase in marketing support for brand events. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, Demand creation expense increased 13% driven by higher marketing, digital brand marketing and advertising costs, primarily to support key sporting events, including the Rio Olympics and European Football Championship in the first quarter. Demand creation expense also increased for the first six months of fiscal 2017 due to higher sports marketing costs. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced Demand creation expense by approximately 1 percentage point for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017.

Operating overhead expense decreased 3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as efficiencies in variable compensation and administrative costs more than offset continued investments in our growing DTC business and operational infrastructure. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, Operating overhead expense increased 2% due to investments in our DTC business and operational infrastructure, partially offset by efficiencies in administrative costs and variable compensation. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced Operating overhead expense by approximately 1 percentage point for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

	Three Months Ended November 30,						Six Months Ended November 30,
(In millions)	2016			2015			2016			2015
Other (income) expense, net	$	(18	)	$	(34	)	$	(80	)	$	(65	)

Other (income) expense, net comprises foreign currency conversion gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and the impact of certain foreign currency derivative instruments, as well as unusual or non-operating transactions that are outside the normal course of business.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2017, Other (income) expense, net decreased from $34 million of other income, net in the prior year, to $18 million of other income, net in the current year, primarily due to a $7 million detrimental net change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, as well as other non-operating items.

For the first six months of fiscal 2017, Other (income) expense, net increased from $65 million of other income, net in the prior year, to $80 million of other income, net in the current year, primarily due to a $22 million net beneficial change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses.

26

We estimate the combination of the 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 unfavorable impacts of approximately $29 million and $26 million on our Income before income taxes for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively.

Income Taxes

	Three Months Ended November 30,					Six Months Ended November 30,
	2016		2015		% Change	2016		2015		% Change
Effective tax rate	24.4	%	19.1	%	530 bps	12.7	%	18.7	%	(600) bps

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was 24.4%, compared to 19.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The change was primarily due to an increase in the mix of earnings from the United States, which are generally subject to a higher tax rate.

Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was 12.7% compared to 18.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a one-time benefit related to the resolution with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of a foreign tax credit matter. We also benefited from a one-time adjustment to our deferred tax asset related to our nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

We continue to expect our effective tax rate for the full fiscal year will be approximately 17.0%.

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, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, Greater China, Japan and Emerging Markets, and include results for the NIKE, Jordan and Hurley brands. The Company’s NIKE Brand DTC operations are managed within each geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable segment for the Company and operates in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of casual sneakers, apparel and accessories.

As part of our centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency 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 Cost 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 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.

(1) The percentage change has been calculated using actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior year period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends by excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

(2) Global Brand Divisions revenues are primarily attributable to NIKE Brand licensing businesses that are not part of a geographic operating segment.

(3) Corporate revenues primarily consist of foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program.

The primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments is earnings before interest and taxes (commonly referred to as “EBIT”), which represents Net income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. As discussed in Note 11 — Operating Segments in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, certain corporate costs are not included in EBIT of our operating segments.

North America revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 increased 3% and 5%, respectively, primarily driven by growth in our Sportswear and Jordan Brand categories, partially offset by declines primarily concentrated in NIKE Basketball. For the second quarter of fiscal 2017, DTC revenues increased 17%, driven by comparable store sales growth of 10%, digital commerce sales growth and the addition of new stores. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, DTC revenues grew 16%, fueled by strong digital commerce sales growth, comparable store sales growth of 7% and the addition of new stores.

Footwear revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was attributable to growth in our Sportswear and Jordan Brand categories, partially offset by declines in other categories, most notably NIKE Basketball. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of footwear increased approximately 2% and 4%, respectively, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 1 percentage point of footwear revenue growth for both periods. Higher ASP per pair for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to higher off-price ASP and the favorable impact of growth in our DTC business, partially offset by higher off-price mix.

The increase in apparel revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was fueled by growth in most key categories, led by Sportswear and Men's Training. Second quarter unit sales of apparel increased approximately 1%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 3 percentage points of apparel revenue growth primarily due to higher full-price ASP. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of apparel increased approximately 5%, while ASP per unit was flat as higher full-price ASP was offset by lower off-price ASP resulting from the clearance of inventories through off-price channels, including through our DTC business.

EBIT increased 3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as revenue growth was partially offset by lower gross margin. Gross margin declined 30 basis points as higher full-price ASP and favorable off-price margin were more than offset by higher off-price mix as a result of clearing excess inventories through off-price channels, including through our DTC business, as well as higher product costs. Selling and administrative expense was flat as lower demand creation offset higher operating overhead. Demand creation expense decreased as higher sports marketing and DTC marketing costs were more than offset by lower advertising and other demand creation costs. Operating overhead increased as continued investments in our growing DTC operations more than offset efficiencies in administrative costs and variable compensation.

EBIT was flat for the first six months of fiscal 2017 as higher revenues were offset by gross margin contraction and higher selling and administrative expense as a percent of revenues. Gross margin declined 60 basis points as lower product costs were more than offset by higher off-price mix as a result of clearing excess inventories through off-price channels, including through our DTC business. Selling and administrative expense grew faster than revenues primarily due to higher demand creation resulting from increased sports marketing and DTC marketing costs, as well as marketing support for the Rio Olympics in the first quarter. Operating overhead expense also increased due to continued investments in our growing DTC business.

On a currency-neutral basis, Western Europe revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 grew 12% and 11%, respectively, due to higher revenues in every territory. Revenue growth for the second quarter was led by Western Europe's largest territory, the UK & Ireland, which grew 10%, and by AGS (Austria, Germany and Switzerland), which grew 16%. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, growth was led by the UK & Ireland, France and AGS, which grew 9%, 14% and 10%, respectively. On a category basis, revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 increased in nearly every key category led by Sportswear, Running and the Jordan Brand, with Football (Soccer) also contributing to year-to-date growth. DTC revenues increased 33% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 driven by digital commerce sales growth, comparable store sales growth of 18% and the addition of new stores. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, DTC revenues increased 32% fueled by comparable store sales growth of 17%, digital commerce sales growth and the addition of new stores.

Currency-neutral footwear revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was led by Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and Running, partially offset by declines concentrated in Football (Soccer). For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of footwear increased approximately 3% and 1%, respectively, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 5 and 4 percentage points of footwear revenue growth for the respective periods. Higher ASP per pair for both periods was primarily driven by the favorable impact of growth in our DTC business and higher full-price ASP, partially offset by higher off-price mix.

The increase in constant currency apparel revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was due to growth in nearly every category, most notably Sportswear and Football (Soccer). Second quarter unit sales of apparel increased approximately 22% while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 1 percentage point of apparel revenue growth, primarily driven by the favorable impact of growth in our DTC business. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of apparel increased approximately 16% and higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 9 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. The increase in ASP per unit for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily attributable to higher full-price ASP, and to a lesser extent, the favorable impact of growth in our DTC business.

On a reported basis, EBIT decreased 23% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as revenue growth and lower selling and administrative expense were more than offset by significantly lower gross margin. Gross margin declined 730 basis points primarily driven by the effects of unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates. Selling and administrative expense declined despite higher demand creation costs, primarily for sports marketing. Operating overhead decreased as efficiencies in administrative costs and variable compensation were only partially offset by increased investments in our growing DTC business.

Reported EBIT for the first six months of fiscal 2017 declined 21% as higher reported revenues and selling and administrative expense leverage were more than offset by significant gross margin contraction. Gross margin declined 670 basis points primarily driven by the effects of unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates. Selling and administrative expense decreased as a percent of revenues, despite an increase in demand creation expense driven by higher sports marketing costs, as well as higher advertising and marketing expense in support of the Rio Olympics and European Football Championship in the first quarter. Operating overhead also increased due to continued investments in our growing DTC business, partially offset by administrative cost and variable compensation efficiencies.

On a currency-neutral basis, Central & Eastern Europe revenues increased 1% and 10% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, with strong growth in nearly every territory, partially offset by lower revenues for our distributors business. Territory revenue growth was led by Central & Eastern Europe's two largest territories, Russia and Turkey, which grew 11% and 9%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal 2017, and 25% and 14%, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2017. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, revenues for our distributors business decreased 15% and 10%, respectively. On a category basis, revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was fueled by growth in Sportswear, which more than offset declines in most other categories. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, DTC revenues increased 26% and 28%, respectively, fueled by comparable store sales growth of 14% and 17%, respectively, and the addition of new stores.

Constant currency footwear revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily attributable to growth in Sportswear, partially offset by declines concentrated in Football (Soccer). Unit sales of footwear for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 increased approximately 5% and 11%, respectively, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 1 and 2 percentage points, respectively, of footwear revenue growth. The increase in ASP per pair for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was driven by lower off-price mix and higher off-price ASP. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, higher ASP per pair was driven by higher full-price and off-price ASP.

The constant currency decrease in apparel revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was due to declines in several key categories, most notably Running, partially offset by growth in Men's Training. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, revenue growth was driven by increases in our Sportswear and Men's Training categories, while most other categories declined. Unit sales of apparel for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased approximately 6%, but increased 2% for the first six months, while increases in ASP per unit contributed approximately 2 percentage points of apparel revenue growth for both periods. Higher ASP per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was driven by lower off-price mix, the favorable impact of growth in our DTC business and higher full-price ASP. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, higher ASP per unit was primarily due to the favorable impact of growth in our DTC business and lower off-price mix, partially offset by lower full-price ASP.

Reported EBIT for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased 24% as modest revenue growth and significantly lower selling and administrative expense were more than offset by gross margin contraction. Gross margin declined 620 basis points driven by significant unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower product costs and higher full-price ASP. For the second quarter of fiscal 2017, selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower operating overhead expense resulting from efficiencies in administrative costs and variable compensation, partially offset by ongoing investments in our growing DTC business. Demand creation expense also decreased as higher advertising expense was more than offset by lower retail brand presentation costs.

On a reported basis, EBIT for the first six months of fiscal 2017 decreased 20%, in part reflecting the negative impact of weakening foreign currency exchange rates. Reported revenue growth and lower selling and administrative expense were more than offset by a decrease in gross margin. Gross margin declined 770 basis points due to significant unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, which were only partially offset by higher full-price ASP. Selling and administrative expense decreased as lower operating overhead costs were only partially offset by higher demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense decreased due to efficiencies in administrative costs and variable compensation, partially offset by continued investments in DTC. Demand creation expense increased primarily due to higher advertising and sports marketing costs, partially offset by lower retail brand presentation costs.

On a currency-neutral basis, Greater China revenues grew 17% and 19% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, driven by strong demand for NIKE Brand products. Most key categories grew, led by Running, Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and NIKE Basketball, with Sportswear having a greater impact than Running for the second quarter. DTC revenues increased 42% and 40% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, fueled by significant digital commerce sales growth, the addition of new stores and increases in comparable store sales of 6% and 9%, respectively.

The constant currency growth in footwear revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was attributable to increases in nearly all key categories, most notably Running, Sportswear and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 increased approximately 19% and 22%, respectively, while lower ASP per pair reduced footwear revenue growth by approximately 3 and 1 percentage points, respectively. The decrease in ASP for both periods was attributable to higher off-price mix and lower DTC ASP, which more than offset higher full-price ASP.

Constant currency apparel revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was due to higher revenues in most key categories, led by Sportswear, Running, the Jordan Brand and NIKE Basketball. Second quarter unit sales of apparel increased approximately 21%, while ASP per unit was flat as higher full-price ASP was offset by higher off-price mix. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of apparel increased approximately 18%, while ASP per unit was unchanged as higher full-price ASP was offset by higher off-price mix and lower ASP in our DTC business.

On a reported basis, EBIT for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 15% despite the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. EBIT growth was driven by reported revenue growth and selling and administrative expense leverage, partially offset by lower gross margin. Gross margin declined 190 basis points primarily driven by unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, higher off-price mix and lower DTC margin. Selling and administrative expense increased as higher operating overhead, primarily to support our growing DTC business, more than offset lower demand creation. The decrease in demand creation expense was attributable to lower expenses for advertising, which more than offset higher marketing support for brand events.

Reported EBIT increased 14% for the first six months of fiscal 2017, driven by higher revenues and selling and administrative expense leverage, partially offset by lower gross margin. Gross margin contracted 200 basis points as higher full-price ASP was more than offset by unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, higher off-price mix, higher product costs and lower DTC margin. Selling and administrative expense decreased as a percent of revenues despite higher operating overhead to support DTC growth. Demand creation expense also increased as higher marketing and digital brand marketing costs, in part to support the Rio Olympics in the first quarter, more than offset lower retail brand presentation expenses.

On a constant currency basis, revenues for Japan decreased 2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as declines concentrated in Football (Soccer) were only partially offset by growth in other categories, primarily Running. Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2017 increased 7%, primarily driven by growth in several key categories, most notably Sportswear and Running. DTC revenues grew 7% and 10% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, due to increases in digital commerce sales and comparable store sales growth of 7% and 6%, respectively, with comparable store sales growth having a greater impact than digital commerce sales for the second quarter.

Reported EBIT for the second quarter increased 2% driven by higher reported revenues, in part reflecting the impact of the stronger Yen, and selling and administrative expense leverage, partially offset by lower gross margin. Gross margin declined 500 basis points as lower product costs were more than offset by the significant impact of unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, as well as lower full-price ASP and unfavorable off-price margin. Reported selling and administrative expense was leveraged despite higher operating overhead and demand creation expenses. Operating overhead increased as efficiencies in variable compensation and operational infrastructure were more than offset by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Demand creation expense also increased as reduced marketing support for brand events was more than offset by higher retail brand presentation costs and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

For the first six months of fiscal 2017, reported EBIT increased 18% compared to the prior year period, also reflecting the impact of the stronger Yen. Gross margin declined 370 basis points as lower product costs were more than offset by the impact of unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, unfavorable off-price margin, lower DTC margin and lower full-price ASP. Selling and administrative expense increased on a reported basis, but was lower as a percent of revenues. Operating overhead increased as efficiencies in variable compensation and operational infrastructure were more than offset by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Demand creation expense also increased as reduced marketing support for brand events was more than offset by higher digital demand creation and retail brand presentation costs, as well as the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

On a currency-neutral basis, Emerging Markets revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 increased 13% and 12%, respectively, driven by higher revenues in most territories. Revenues for three of Emerging Market's largest territories, SOCO (which includes Argentina, Uruguay and Chile), Korea and Mexico, grew 44%,14% and 14%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and 45%, 10% and 12%, respectively, for the first six months of fiscal 2017. On a category basis, revenues for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 increased in most key categories, led by Sportswear and Running. DTC revenues increased 30% and 28% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, fueled by the addition of new stores, comparable store sales growth of 13% and 10%, respectively, and higher digital commerce sales.

34

Constant currency footwear revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily driven by higher revenues in our Sportswear and Running categories. Unit sales of footwear decreased approximately 1% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 16 and 15 percentage points of footwear revenue growth for the respective periods. Higher ASP per pair for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was attributable to higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in certain territories.

The constant currency apparel revenue growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 was fueled by increases in most key categories, led by Sportswear and Running. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, unit sales of apparel decreased approximately 5% and 3%, respectively, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 14 percentage points of apparel revenue growth for both periods. The increases in ASP per unit for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017 were primarily driven by higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in certain territories.

On a reported basis, EBIT decreased 2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017, reflecting the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Argentine Peso and Mexican Peso. Reported revenue growth was more than offset by lower gross margin. Gross margin decreased 320 basis points as unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates and higher product costs were only partially offset by higher full-price ASP. Selling and administrative expense was flat as lower demand creation expense offset higher operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was attributable to lower advertising expense, partially offset by increased sports marketing costs, while operating overhead increased as a result of continued investments in our growing DTC business.

For the first six months of fiscal 2017, reported EBIT decreased 18%, in part reflecting the negative impact of translation. Reported revenue growth was more than offset by gross margin contraction and higher selling and administrative expense as a percent of sales. Gross margin declined 330 basis points as unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates and higher product costs were only partially offset by higher full-price ASP. Selling and administrative expense increased as a percent of revenues due to higher demand creation expense resulting from increased marketing and digital brand marketing support for the Rio Olympics in the first quarter, as well as higher sports marketing costs. Operating overhead also increased, reflecting increased investments in our growing DTC business.

Global Brand Divisions primarily represent demand creation, operating overhead, and product creation and design expenses that are centrally managed for the NIKE Brand. Revenues for Global Brand Divisions are primarily attributable to NIKE Brand licensing businesses that are not part of a geographic operating segment.

Global Brand Divisions' loss before interest and taxes decreased 1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 as higher demand creation expense was more than offset by lower operating overhead expense. Demand creation expense grew due to increased marketing support for brand events, as well as higher advertising expense. These increases more than offset lower sports marketing expense. Operating overhead expense decreased as variable compensation and administrative cost efficiencies more than offset continued investments in operational infrastructure.

Global Brand Divisions' loss before interest and taxes increased 11% for the first six months of fiscal 2017 primarily due to higher demand creation expense, partially offset by lower operating overhead expense. The increase in demand creation expense was due to higher advertising and marketing support as well as digital brand marketing expenses, largely in support of the Rio Olympics and the European Football Championship in the first quarter. Operating overhead expense decreased as continued investments in operational infrastructure were more than offset by efficiencies in variable compensation and administrative costs.

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes	$	78	$	85	-8	%			$	231	$	232	0	%

In territories we define as “direct distribution markets,” Converse designs, markets and sells products directly to distributors and wholesale customers, and to consumers through DTC operations. The largest direct distribution markets are the United States, the United Kingdom and China. We do not own the Converse trademarks in Japan and accordingly do not earn revenues in Japan. Territories other than direct distribution markets and Japan are serviced by third-party licensees who pay royalty revenues to Converse for the use of its registered trademarks and other intellectual property rights.

35

On a currency-neutral basis, revenues for Converse increased 5% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017. Comparable direct distribution markets (i.e., markets served under a direct distribution model for comparable periods in the current and prior fiscal years) grew 8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017, contributing approximately 7 percentage points of total Converse revenue growth. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, comparable direct distribution markets grew 5%, contributing approximately 5 percentage points of total Converse revenue growth. Comparable direct distribution market unit sales increased approximately 7% and 3% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 1 and 2 percentage points, respectively, of direct distribution markets revenue growth. On a territory basis, the increase in comparable direct distribution markets revenues for the second quarter was primarily attributable to growth in the United States, while the increase for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was primarily due to growth in the United States, partially offset by lower revenues in Europe. Conversion of markets from licensed to direct distribution had no impact for the second quarter and increased total Converse revenues by approximately 1 percentage point for the first six months of fiscal 2017. Revenues from comparable licensed markets decreased 20% and 12% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, reducing total Converse revenue growth by approximately 2 and 1 percentage points for the respective periods. The decrease in comparable licensed markets revenues is due primarily to lower revenues in Brazil and Italy.

Reported EBIT for Converse decreased 8% for the second quarter as higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expense were more than offset by lower gross margin. For the second quarter of fiscal 2017, gross margin decreased 470 basis points primarily due to unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, the impact of lower licensing revenues and unfavorable off-price sales, which more than offset lower product costs. Selling and administrative expense was lower for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 due to lower demand creation expense driven by lower retail brand presentation and advertising costs. The decrease in demand creation was partially offset by an increase in operating overhead, as lower variable compensation was more than offset by investments in operational infrastructure and higher administrative costs.

EBIT was flat for the first six months of fiscal 2017 as revenue growth and lower selling and administrative expense were offset by gross margin contraction. Gross margin decreased 410 basis points for the first six months of fiscal 2017 as unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, higher product costs, unfavorable off-price sales and the impact of lower licensing revenues more than offset higher full-price ASP. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense, primarily as a result of lower retail brand presentation costs and a decrease in marketing support for brand events. Operating overhead also declined as investments in operational infrastructure were more than offset by efficiencies in administrative costs and variable compensation.

Corporate revenues primarily consist of foreign currency hedge gains and losses related to revenues generated by entities within the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, but managed through our central foreign exchange risk management program.

The Corporate loss before interest and taxes consists largely of unallocated general and administrative expenses, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments; depreciation and amortization related to our corporate headquarters; unallocated insurance, benefit and compensation programs, including stock-based compensation; and certain foreign currency gains and losses.

In addition to the foreign currency gains and losses recognized in Corporate revenues, foreign currency results in Corporate include gains and losses resulting from the difference between actual foreign currency rates and standard rates used to record non-functional currency denominated product purchases within the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse; related foreign currency hedge results; conversion gains and losses arising from re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies; and certain other foreign currency derivative instruments.

Corporate's loss before interest and taxes decreased $169 million and $329 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively. The decreases were due to the following:

• a beneficial change of $125 million and $263 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, from net foreign currency losses to net foreign currency gains related to the difference between actual foreign currency exchange rates and standard foreign currency exchange rates assigned to the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, net of hedge gains and losses; these results are reported as a component of consolidated gross margin;

• an increase in net foreign currency gains of $4 million and $27 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, related to the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and the impact of certain foreign currency derivative instruments, reported as a component of consolidated Other (income) expense, net; and

• a beneficial change of $40 million and $39 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2017, respectively, primarily driven by the impact of lower variable compensation on operating overhead expense.

Foreign Currency Exposures and Hedging Practices

Overview

As a global company with significant operations outside the United States, in the normal course of business we are exposed to risk arising from changes in currency exchange rates. Our primary foreign currency exposures arise from the recording of transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and the translation of foreign currency denominated results of operations, financial position and cash flows into U.S. Dollars.

Our foreign exchange risk management program is intended to lessen both the positive and negative effects of currency fluctuations on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We manage global foreign exchange risk centrally on a portfolio basis to address those risks that are material to NIKE, Inc. We manage these exposures by taking advantage of natural offsets and currency correlations that exist within the portfolio and, where practical and material, by hedging a portion of the remaining exposures using derivative instruments such as forward contracts and options. As described below, the implementation of the NIKE Trading Company (NTC) and our foreign currency adjustment program enhanced our ability to manage our foreign exchange risk by increasing the natural offsets and currency correlation benefits that exist within our portfolio of foreign exchange exposures. 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.

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 — NIKE’s product costs are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies in the following ways:

1. Product purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting entity:

a. Certain NIKE entities purchase product from the NTC, a wholly-owned sourcing hub that buys NIKE branded products from third-party factories, predominantly in U.S. Dollars. The NTC, whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, then sells the products to NIKE entities in their respective functional currencies. When the NTC sells to a NIKE entity with a different functional currency, the result is a foreign currency exposure for the NTC.

b. Other NIKE entities purchase product directly from third-party factories in U.S. Dollars. These purchases generate a foreign currency exposure for those NIKE entities with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar.

In both purchasing scenarios, a weaker U.S. Dollar reduces the inventory cost incurred by NIKE whereas a stronger U.S. Dollar increases its cost.

2. Factory input costs: NIKE operates a foreign currency adjustment program with certain factories. The program is designed to more effectively manage foreign currency risk by assuming certain of the factories’ foreign currency exposures, some of which are natural offsets to our existing foreign currency exposures. Under this program, our payments to these factories are adjusted for rate fluctuations in the basket of currencies (“factory currency exposure index”) in which the labor, materials and overhead costs incurred by the factories in the production of NIKE branded products (“factory input costs”) are denominated.

For the currency within the factory currency exposure indices that is the local or functional currency of the factory, the currency rate fluctuation affecting the product cost is recorded within Inventories and is recognized in Cost of sales when the related product is sold to a third-party. All currencies within the indices, excluding the U.S. Dollar and the local or functional currency of the factory, are recognized as embedded derivative contracts and are recorded at fair value through Other (income) expense, net. Refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

As an offset to the impacts of the fluctuating U.S. Dollar on our non-functional currency denominated product purchases described above, a strengthening U.S. Dollar against the foreign currencies within the factory currency exposure indices decreases NIKE’s U.S. Dollar inventory cost. Conversely, a weakening U.S. Dollar against the indexed foreign currencies increases our inventory cost.

• Non-Functional Currency Denominated External Sales — A portion of our Western Europe and Central & Eastern Europe geography revenues, as well as a portion of our Converse European operations revenues, 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. In certain cases, the Company has also entered into other contractual agreements which have payments that are indexed to foreign currencies and create embedded derivative contracts that are recorded at fair value through Other (income) expense, net. Refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

• 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.

37

Managing Transactional Exposures

Transactional exposures are managed on a portfolio basis within our foreign currency risk management program. We manage these exposures by taking advantage of natural offsets and currency correlations that exist within the portfolio and may also elect to use currency forward and option contracts to hedge the remaining effect of exchange rate fluctuations on probable forecasted future cash flows, including certain product cost exposures, non-functional currency denominated external sales and other costs described above. Generally, these are accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except for hedges of the embedded derivative components of the product cost exposures and other contractual agreements as discussed 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 under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, changes in fair value of these instruments are immediately recognized in Other (income) expense, net and are intended to offset the foreign currency impact of the re-measurement of the related non-functional currency denominated asset or liability or the embedded derivative contract being hedged.

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 how the above financial instruments are valued and recorded, as well as the fair value of outstanding derivatives at each reported period end.

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 within Shareholders’ equity. In the translation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, a weaker U.S. Dollar in relation to foreign functional currencies benefits our consolidated earnings whereas a stronger U.S. Dollar reduces our consolidated earnings. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated Revenues was a detriment of approximately $95 million and $586 million for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a detriment of approximately $22 million and $130 million for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated Revenues was a detriment of approximately $280 million and $1,287 million for the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a detriment of approximately $48 million and $303 million for the six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Managing Translational Exposures

To minimize the impact of translating foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting, certain foreign subsidiaries use excess cash to purchase U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale investments. The variable future cash flows associated with the purchase and subsequent sale of these U.S. Dollar denominated investments at non-U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiaries creates a foreign currency exposure that qualifies for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP. We utilize forward contracts and/or options to mitigate the variability of the forecasted future purchases and sales of these U.S. Dollar investments. 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.

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 how the above financial instruments are valued and recorded as well as the fair value of outstanding derivatives at each reported period end.

We estimate the combination of translation of foreign currency-denominated profits from our international businesses and the year-over-year change in foreign currency related gains and losses included in Other (income) expense, net had an unfavorable impact of approximately $29 million and $26 million on our Income before income taxes for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016, respectively.

Net Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries

We are also exposed to the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on our investments in wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar, which could adversely impact the U.S. Dollar value of these investments, and therefore the value of future repatriated earnings. We have, in the past, hedged and may, in the future, hedge net investment positions in certain foreign subsidiaries to mitigate the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations on these net investments. These hedges are accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There were no outstanding net investment hedges as of November 30, 2016 and 2015. There were no cash flows from net investment hedge settlements for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Activity

Cash provided by operations was $1,684 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $1,036 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016. Our primary source of operating cash flows for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was Net income of $2,091 million compared to $1,964 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016. Operating cash flows also increased due to changes in working capital, which resulted in a cash outflow of $772 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to an outflow of $1,401 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016. The change in working capital was primarily due to the amount of posted cash collateral with derivative counterparties as a result of hedging activities. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, cash collateral received from counterparties increased $264 million as compared to a decrease of $243 million during the first six months of fiscal 2016. Refer to the Credit Risk section of Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail.

38

Cash provided (used) by investing activities was a source of cash of $236 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to a use of cash of $697 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016. The primary driver of the increase in Cash provided (used) by investing activities was the net change in short-term investments (including sales, maturities and purchases) from net purchases to net sales/maturities. For the first six months of fiscal 2017, there were $789 million of net sales/maturities compared to $91 million of net purchases for the first six months of fiscal 2016.

Cash used by financing activities was $680 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to $282 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016, as increased proceeds from the issuance of debt were more than offset by higher share repurchases and dividends paid. Cash used by financing activities also increased due to lower excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements and decreases in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and other stock issuances during the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2016.

During the first six months of fiscal 2017, we purchased 35.9 million shares of NIKE's Class B Common Stock for $1,954 million (an average price of $54.39 per share) under the four-year, $12 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in November 2015. As of November 30, 2016, we had repurchased 56.0 million shares at a cost of approximately $3,143 million (an average price of $56.12 per share) under this program. We continue to expect funding of share repurchases will come from operating cash flows, excess cash and/or proceeds from debt. The timing and the amount of shares purchased will be dictated by our capital needs and stock market conditions.

Capital Resources

On July 21, 2016, we filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf”) with the SEC which permits us to issue an unlimited amount of debt securities. The Shelf expires on July 21, 2019. On October 21, 2016, we issued $1.5 billion of senior notes with tranches maturing in 2026 and 2046. The 2026 senior notes were issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion at a 2.375% fixed, annual interest rate and will mature on November 1, 2026. The 2046 senior notes were issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $500 million at a 3.375% fixed, annual interest rate and will mature on November 1, 2046. Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The issuance resulted in proceeds before expenses of $1,493 million. Refer to Note 5 — Long-Term Debt in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail on Long-term debt.

On August 28, 2015, we entered into a committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of banks, which provides for up to $2 billion of borrowings. The facility matures August 28, 2020, with a one year extension option prior to any anniversary of the closing date, provided that in no event shall it extend beyond August 28, 2022. As of and for the six month period ended November 30, 2016, we had no amounts outstanding under the committed credit facility.

We currently have long-term debt ratings of AA- and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively. If our long-term debt rating were to decline, the facility fee and interest rate under our committed credit facility would increase. Conversely, if our long-term debt rating were to improve, the facility fee and interest rate would decrease. Changes in our long-term debt rating would not trigger acceleration of maturity of any then-outstanding borrowings or any future borrowings under the committed credit facility. Under this committed revolving credit facility, 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, as well as limits on the indebtedness we can incur relative to our net worth. In the event we were to have any borrowings outstanding under this 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 would become immediately due and payable. As of November 30, 2016, we were in full compliance with each of these covenants and believe it is unlikely we will fail to meet any of these covenants in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity is also provided by our $2 billion commercial paper program. During the three months ended November 30, 2016, the maximum amount of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at any point was $919 million. As of November 30, 2016, there were no outstanding borrowings under this program. We may continue to issue commercial paper or other debt securities during fiscal 2017 depending on general corporate needs. We currently have short-term debt ratings of A1+ and P1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively.

As of November 30, 2016, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $5.9 billion, of which $5.3 billion was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash equivalents and short-term investments consist primarily of deposits held at major banks, money market funds, commercial paper, corporate notes, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government sponsored enterprise 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 November 30, 2016, the average duration of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 67 days.

To date we have not experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets or incurred higher interest costs. Future volatility in the capital markets, however, may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets. 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 routinely repatriate a portion of our foreign earnings for which U.S. taxes have previously been provided. We also 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 elect to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the United States through debt. If we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds, we would be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes less applicable foreign tax credits. If we elect to raise capital in the United States through debt, we would incur additional interest expense.

Contractual Obligations

As a result of our October 2016 debt issuance, cash payments due on long-term debt have increased from what was reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

39

Long-term debt obligations as of November 30, 2016 are as follows:

Description of Commitment	Cash Payments Due During the Year Ending May 31,
(In millions)	Remainder of 2017		2018		2019		2020		2021		Thereafter		Total
Long-Term Debt(1)	$	96	$	115	$	115	$	115	$	112	$	5,422	$	5,975

(1) The cash payments due for long-term debt include estimated interest payments. Estimates of interest payments are based on outstanding principal amounts, applicable fixed interest rates or currently effective interest rates as of November 30, 2016 (if variable), timing of scheduled payments and the term of the debt obligations.

Other than the changes reported above, 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, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of November 30, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards.

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 U.S. GAAP. 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.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Other than the items noted below, as well as the termination of our forward-starting interest rate swaps, there have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

We use the Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) model to monitor the foreign exchange risk of our foreign currency forward and foreign currency option derivative instruments. The VaR model determines the maximum potential one-day loss in the fair value of these foreign exchange rate-sensitive financial instruments assuming normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. Since May 31, 2016, decreases in the total notional amount and increases in foreign currency volatilities have resulted in a decreased estimated maximum one-day loss in fair value of $75 million as of November 30, 2016, as compared to $109 million as of May 31, 2016. This hypothetical loss in fair value of our derivatives would be offset by increases in the value of the underlying transactions being hedged. The average monthly change in the net fair values of foreign currency forward and foreign currency option derivatives instruments was $178 million for the six months ended November 30, 2016, compared with $209 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016. The VaR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in fair value that we will incur nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market rates. Actual future gains and losses will differ from and could exceed those estimates because of changes or differences in market rates and interrelationships, hedging instruments and hedge percentages, timing and other factors.

Changes regarding interest rate risk from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 are as follows:

	Expected Maturity Date Year Ending May 31,
(Dollars in millions)	Remainder of 2017			2018			2019			2020			2021			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
Interest Rate Risk
Long-term U.S. Dollar debt — Fixed rate
Principal payments	$	38		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	3,500		$	3,538		$	3,350
Weighted-average interest rate	6.2		%	0.0		%	0.0		%	0.0		%	0.0		%	3.1		%	3.1		%

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that 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 November 30, 2016.

We have continued 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 the transformation.

There have not been any other 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, 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, including reports filed on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K, and include, among others, the following: international, national and local general 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 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 futures orders may not be indicative of future revenues due to changes in shipment timing, the changing mix of futures and at-once orders 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; 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 the United States, including, without limitation, exchange rate fluctuations, import duties, tariffs, quotas, political and economic instability and terrorism; changes in government regulations; the impact of, including business and legal developments relating to, climate change; natural disasters; liability and other claims asserted against NIKE; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; 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.

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.
