Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

B asis of Presentation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NIKE, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “NIKE”) and reflect all normal 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, 2018 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
Reclassifications
As previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, management identified a misstatement related to the historical allocation of repurchases of Class B Common Stock between Capital in excess of stated value and Retained earnings within the Shareholders’ Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. The misstatement had no impact on the previously reported Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income or Cash Flows.
The Company assessed the materiality of these misstatements on prior period financial statements in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, and concluded that these misstatements were not material to any prior annual or interim period. As such, the Company has revised the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the periods ended November 30, 2017 and February 28, 2018, through a reduction to Capital in excess of stated value of $3.0 billion and an incremental $0.1 billion, respectively, and an increase to Retained earnings for the same amount in the respective periods.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that replaces existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard 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, Topic 606 req uires disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this standard using a modified retrospective approach in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized in Retained earnings at June 1, 2018. Comparative prior period information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with previous revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 605 — Revenue Recognition. The Company has applied the new standard to all contracts at adoption.
The Company’s adoption of Topic 606 resulted in a change to the timing of revenue recognition. The satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation is based upon transfer of control over a product to a customer, which results in sales being recognized upon shipment rather than upon delivery for certain wholesale transactions and substantially all digital commerce sales. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. This resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment, which increased Retained earnings by $23 million at June 1, 2018. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material effect on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019.
Additionally, the Company’s reserve balances for returns, post-invoice sales discounts and miscellaneous claims for wholesale transactions were previously reported net of the estimated cost of inventory for product returns, and as a reduction to Accounts receivable, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under Topic 606, an asset for the estimated cost of inventory for expected products returns is now recognized separately from the liability for sales-related reserves. This resulted in an increase to Accounts receivable, net, an increase in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and an increase in Accrued liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at February 28, 2019. Sales-related reserves for the Company’s direct to consumer operations continue to be recognized in Accrued liabilities, but are now recorded separately from an asset for the estimated cost of inventory for expected product returns, which is recognized in Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The following table presents the related effect of the adoption of Topic 606 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at February 28, 2019:

|  | As of February 28, 2019
(In millions) |  | As Reported |  | Effect of Adoption |  | Balances Without Adoption of Topic 606
Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 4,549 |  |  | $ | 795 |  |  | $ | 3,754 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  | 1,786 |  |  | 426 |  |  | 1,360 |
Total current assets |  | 15,796 |  |  | 1,221 |  |  | 14,575 |
TOTAL ASSETS |  | 22,921 |  |  | 1,221 |  |  | 21,700 |
Accrued liabilities |  | 4,738 |  |  | 1,221 |  |  | 3,517 |
Total current liabilities |  | 7,281 |  |  | 1,221 |  |  | 6,060 |
TOTAL LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY |  | $ | 22,921 |  |  | $ | 1,221 |  |  | $ | 21,700 |

Other impacts from the adoption of Topic 606 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were immaterial. Refer to Note 11 — Revenues for further discussion.
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

Company adopted the standard on June 1, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of applying the new standard recognized in Retained earnings at the date of adoption. The adoption resulted in reductions to Retained earnings, Deferred income taxes and other assets and Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $507 million, $422 million and $45 million, respectively, and an increase in Deferred income taxes and other liabilities of $40 million on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which expands and refines hedge accounting for both financial and non-financial risk components, aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of hedging inst ruments and hedge items in the financial statements, and includes certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Company elected to early adopt the ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 Company adopted the ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which 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 require the Company to continue to classify leases as either an operating or finance lease, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt Topic 842. Under the new transition method, an entity initially applies the new standard at the adoption date, versus at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company expects to elect this transition method at the adoption date of June 1, 2019.
Upon adoption, the Company plans to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease components from nonlease components for all real estate leases within the portfolio. Additionally, the Company will make an accounting policy election that will keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet and will result in recognizing those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company continues to assess and has not yet made a determination on whether to elect the package of transition practical expedients which would allow the Company to carry forward prior conclusions related to: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases.
In preparation for implementation, the Company has been executing changes to business processes, including implementing a software solution to assist with the new reporting requirements. The Company continues to assess the effect the guidance will have on its existing accounting policies and the Consolidated Financial Statements, and expects there will be a material increase in assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at adoption due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Refer to Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018 for information about the Company’s lease obligations.

Note 2 — Inventories

Inventory balances of $5,415 million and $5,261 million at February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2018, respectively, were substantially all finished goods.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivatives, equity securities and available-for-sale debt 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 a 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 or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

• | Level 3: Unobservable inputs with 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 a majority of 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 non-performance risk of the Company and its counterparties.
The Company’s fair value measurement process includes comparing fair values to another independent pricing vendor to ensure appropriate fair values are recorded.
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2018, and indicate the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the Company classifies the fair value measurement.

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. Any amounts of cash collateral posted related to these instruments associated with the Company’s credit-related contingent features are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, which would further offset against the Company’s derivative liability balance. 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. For further information related to credit risk, refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives.
The following tables present information about the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2018, and indicate the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the Company classifies the fair value measurement.

(1) | If the foreign exchange derivative instruments had been netted on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the asset and liability positions each would have been reduced by $182 million as of May 31, 2018. As of that date, the Company had received $23 million of cash collateral from various counterparties related to these foreign exchange derivative instruments. No amount of collateral was posted on the Company’s derivative liability balance as of May 31, 2018.

The Company’s investment portfolio consists of 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 February 28, 2019, the Company held $313 million of available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates within one year and $38 million with maturity dates over one year and less than five years in Short-term investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross realized gains and losses on sales of securities were immaterial for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were immaterial as of February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2018. The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment. For the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, 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 February 28, 2019 and 2018 was interest income related to the Company’s investment portfolio of $20 million and $12 million, respectively, and $60 million and $36 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, 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 investments were immaterial during the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018.
No transfers among levels within the fair value hierarchy occurred during the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018.
For additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives. The carrying amounts of other current financial assets and other current financial liabilities approximate fair value.
As of February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2018, assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were immaterial.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value
Long-term debt is recorded at adjusted cost, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of Long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (Level 2). The fair value of the Company’s Long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $3,345 million at February 28, 2019 and $3,294 million at May 31, 2018.
For fair value information regarding Notes payable, refer to Note 5 — Short-Term Borrowings and Credit Lines.

Note 5 — Short-Term Borrowings and Credit Lines

As of February 28, 2019, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $2 billion commercial paper program. As of May 31, 2018, $325 million of commercial paper was outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 1.77%. These borrowings are included within Notes payable on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Due to the short-term nature of the borrowings, the carrying amounts reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Notes payable approximate fair value.

Note 6 — Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 14.6% for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 compared to 74.4% for the nine months ended February 28, 2018. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate was driven by one-time charges in fiscal 2018 related to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).
As previously disclosed, during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed its analysis of the impact of the Tax Act in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") and the amounts are no longer considered provisional. This resulted in no change to the provisional amounts recorded in fiscal 2018 related to the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
As of February 28, 2019, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $798 million, $537 million of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. As of May 31, 2018, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $698 million. The liability for payment of interest and penalties increased $12 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2019. As of February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2018, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were $169 million and $157 million, respectively (excluding federal benefit).
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has closed all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal 2016, with the exception of certain transfer pricing adjustments.
T he Company’s major foreign jurisdictions, China and the Netherlands, have substantially concluded all income tax matters through calendar 2008 and fiscal 2012, 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 approximately $210 million within the next 12 months. In addition, in January 2019, the European Commission opened a formal investigation to examine whether the Netherlands has breached State Aid rules with respect to the Company. The Company believes the investigation is without merit. If this matter is adversely resolved, the Netherlands may be required to assess additional amounts with respect to current and prior periods, and the Company's Netherlands income taxes in the future could increase.

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. From time to time, the Company’s Board of Directors authorizes share repurchase programs for the repurchase of Class B Common Stock. The value of repurchased shares is deducted from Total shareholders’ equity through allocation to Capital in excess of stated value and Retained earnings.
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 equity 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 other terms and conditions of the awards. The Company generally grants stock options and restricted stock on an annual basis. Substantially all awards outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan vest ratably over four years, with stock option grants expiring 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 from the market price under employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs). Subject to the annual statutory limit, 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 for options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and employees’ purchase rights under the ESPPs by estimating the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes this fair value in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The following table summarizes the Company’s total stock-based compensation expense recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable:

|  | Three Months Ended February 28, |  | Nine Months Ended February 28,

TOTAL STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE |  | $ | 93 |  |  | $ | 55 |  |  | $ | 226 |  |  | $ | 158 |

(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 $13 million and $6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $28 million and $14 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of February 28, 2019, the Company had $414 million of unrecognized compensation costs from stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable, over a weighted average remaining period of 2.3 years.
The weighted average fair value per share of the options granted during the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, computed as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $22.79 and $9.82, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate these fair values were as follows:

|  | Nine Months Ended February 28,
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
Dividend yield |  | 1.0 | % |  | 1.2 | %
Expected volatility |  | 26.6 | % |  | 16.4 | %
Weighted average expected life (in years) |  | 6.0 |  |  | 6.0 |
Risk-free interest rate |  | 2.8 | % |  | 2.0 | %

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 (loss) per common share. The computations of diluted earnings per common share excluded options, including shares under ESPPs, to purchase an additional 18.7 million and 19.1 million shares of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, respectively, and 42.9 million shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended February 28, 2018, because the options were anti-dilutive. Additionally, a s a result of the net loss incurred for the three months ended February 28, 2018, all outstanding options, including shares under ESPPs, to purchase common stock and other awards of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share because the inclusion of the shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Table of Contents
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, liabilities, or forecasted transactions and assessing, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the hedging relationships.
The majority of derivatives outstanding as of February 28, 2019 are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, primarily for Euro/U.S. Dollar, British Pound/Euro, Chinese Yuan/U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar 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.
The following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments included within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2019 and May 31, 2018. Refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements for a description of how the financial instruments in the table below are valued.

Cash Flow Hedges
All changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until Net income (loss) is affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. Effective hedge results are classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same manner as the underlying exposure. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be discontinued when it is no longer probable the forecasted hedged transaction will occur in the initially identified time period. The gains and losses associated with discontinued derivative instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized immediately in Other (income) expense, net, if it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur by the end of the initially identified time period or within an additional two-month period thereafter. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company will account for the derivative as an undesignated instrument as discussed below.

Table of Contents
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 the Company may elect to hedge in this manner include product cost exposures, non-functional currency denominated external and intercompany revenues, demand creation 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. NTC sales to a NIKE entity with a different functional currency result in 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 place formally designated 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 $9.7 billion as of February 28, 2019.
As of February 28, 2019, approximately $287 million of deferred net gains (net of tax) on both outstanding and matured derivatives in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be reclassified to Net income (loss) during the next 12 months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net income (loss). Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net income (loss) are dependent on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts currently outstanding mature. As of February 28, 2019, the maximum term over which the Company is hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows for its forecasted transactions was 15 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 Company had no interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges as of February 28, 2019.
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, are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those investments. The Company had no outstanding net investment hedges as of February 28, 2019.
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 undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net, together with the re-measurement gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position and/or embedded derivative contract. The total notional amount of outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $6.0 billion as of February 28, 2019.
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. In addition, embedded derivative contracts are created when the Company enters 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. Embedded derivative contracts are treated as foreign currency forward contracts that are bifurcated from the related contract and recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net, through the date the foreign currency fluctuations cease to exist.
As of February 28, 2019, the total notional amount of embedded derivatives outstanding was approximately $419 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.
18

Table of Contents
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 February 28, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all credit risk-related contingent features and had derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features in a net liability position of $1 million. Accordingly, the Company was not required to post any collateral as a result of these contingent features. Further, as of February 28, 2019, the Company had $137 million of cash collateral received 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 — Revenues

Nature of Revenues
Revenue transactions associated with the sale of NIKE Brand footwear, apparel and equipment, as well as Converse products, comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale or direct to consumer channels. The Company satisfies the performance obligation and records revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. A customer is considered to have control once they are able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Transfer of control passes to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control passes to retail store customers at the time of sale and to substantially all digital commerce customers upon shipment. The transaction price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions depend on the country of sale or agreement with the customer, and payment is generally required within 90 days or less of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer. Payment is due at the time of sale for retail store and digital commerce transactions.
At February 28, 2019, the Company did not have any contract assets and had an immaterial amount of contract liabilities recorded in Accrued liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Consideration for trademark licensing contracts is earned through sales-based or usage-based royalty arrangements and the associated revenues are recognized over the license period. Licensing revenues for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 were immaterial and are included in the results for the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments, Global Brand Divisions and Converse.
Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from Revenues and Cost of sales in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in Cost of sales when the related revenue is recognized.

Sales-related Reserves
Consideration promised in the Company’s contracts with customers includes a variable amount related to anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. This variable consideration is estimated and recorded as a reduction to Revenues and as an increase to Accrued liabilities at the time revenues are recognized. The estimated cost of inventory for product returns is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The provision for anticipated sales returns consists of both contractual return rights and discretionary authorized returns. Provisions for post-invoice sales discounts consist of both contractual programs and discretionary discounts that are expected to be granted at a later date.
Estimates of discretionary authorized returns, discounts and claims are based on (1) historical rates, (2) specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers and outstanding discounts and claims and (3) estimated returns, discounts and claims expected, but not yet finalized with customers. Actual returns, discounts and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from estimates recorded. If actual or expected future returns, discounts or claims were significantly greater or lower than the reserves established, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period in which such determination was made. At February 28, 2019, the Company’s sales-related reserve balance, which includes returns, post-invoice sales discounts and miscellaneous claims, was $1,244 million and recorded in Accrued liabilities on

the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated cost of inventory for expected product returns was $426 million as of February 28, 2019 and was recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At May 31, 2018, the Company’s sales-related reserve balance, which includes returns, post-invoice sales discounts and miscellaneous claims, was $675 million, net of the estimated cost of inventory for expected product returns, and recognized as a reduction in Accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 12 — Operating Segments

The Company’s operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company’s internal organization. The NIKE Brand segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE Brand sales activity.
Each NIKE Brand geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and selling of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment. The Company’s reportable operating segments for the NIKE Brand are: North America; Europe, Middle East & Africa; Greater China; and Asia Pacific & Latin America, and include results for the NIKE, Jordan and Hurley brands.
The Company’s NIKE Direct operations are managed within each NIKE Brand geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable segment for the Company, and operates in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of 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 represent 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 primarily of unallocated general and administrative expenses, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments; depreciation and amortization related to the Company’s headquarters; unallocated insurance, benefit and compensation programs, including stock-based compensation; and certain foreign currency gains and losses, including certain hedge gains and losses.
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 (loss) before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
As part of the Company’s centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency rates are assigned twice per year to each NIKE Brand entity in the Company’s geographic operating segments and to Converse. These rates are set approximately nine and twelve months in advance of the future selling seasons to which they relate (specifically, for each currency, one standard rate applies to the fall and holiday selling seasons and one standard rate applies to the spring and summer selling seasons) based on average market spot rates in the calendar month preceding the date they are established. Inventories and 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
Overview
NIKE designs, develops, markets and sells athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories and services worldwide. We are the largest seller of athletic footwear and apparel in the world. We sell our products through NIKE-owned retail stores and through digital platforms (which we refer to collectively as our “NIKE Direct” operations), to retail accounts and a mix of independent distributors, licensees and sales representatives in virtually all countries around the world. Our goal is to deliver value to our shareholders by building a profitable global portfolio of branded footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories businesses. Our strategy is to achieve long-term revenue growth by creating innovative, “must have” products, building deep personal consumer connections with our brands and delivering compelling consumer experiences through digital platforms and at retail. In fiscal 2018, we introduced the Consumer Direct Offense, a new company alignment designed to allow NIKE to better serve the consumer more personally, at scale. Through the Consumer Direct Offense, we are focusing on our Triple Double strategy, with the objective of doubling the impact of innovation and increasing our speed to market and direct connections with consumers.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, NIKE, Inc. Revenues increased 7% to $9.6 billion compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018. On a currency-neutral basis, Revenues increased 11%. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $1.1 billion and diluted earnings per common share was $0.68, compared to a net loss of $921 million and diluted loss per common share of $0.57 for the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
Income before income taxes increased 11% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily driven by revenue growth and gross margin expansion, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expense. The NIKE Brand, which represents over 90% of NIKE, Inc. Revenues, delivered 8% revenue growth. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Brand revenues grew 12%, driven by higher revenues across all geographies, footwear and apparel, as well as growth in most key categories, led by Sportswear and the Jordan Brand. Revenues for Converse decreased 4% and 2% on a reported and currency-neutral basis, respectively, primarily due to declines in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and Europe, partially offset by revenue growth in Asia.
Our effective tax rate was 14.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to 179.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2018, which included one-time charges related to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act").
Diluted earnings per common share reflects a 1% decline in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily driven by our share repurchase program.
While foreign currency markets remain volatile, partly as a result of global trade uncertainty and geopolitical dynamics, we continue to see opportunities to drive growth and profitability and remain committed to effectively managing our business to achieve our financial goals over the long-term by executing against the operational strategies outlined above.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including references to wholesale equivalent revenues and currency-neutral revenues, which should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). References to wholesale equivalent revenues are intended to provide context as to the total size of our NIKE Brand market footprint if we had no NIKE Direct operations. NIKE Brand wholesale equivalent revenues consist of (1) sales to external wholesale customers and (2) internal sales from our wholesale operations to our NIKE Direct operations, which are charged at prices comparable to those charged to external wholesale customers. Additionally, currency-neutral revenues are calculated using actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior year period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company’s performance, including when making financial and operating decisions. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. However, references to wholesale equivalent revenues and currency-neutral revenues should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

(1) | The percent 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 consist primarily 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 11% for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019. Revenue growth was broad-based across all NIKE Brand geographies for both periods presented, as well as Converse for the year-to-date period. Higher revenues in Greater China; Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA); and North America each c ontributed approximately 3 percentage points of growth to NIKE, Inc. Revenues for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019. Asia Pacific & Latin America (APLA) contributed approximately 2 percentage points of growth for both periods presented.
Currency-neutral NIKE Brand footwear revenues increased 13% for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, reflecting growth in nearly all key categories, led by Sportswear, Running and the Jordan Brand, with the Jordan Brand having a greater impact than Running in the third quarter. For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, unit sales of footwear increased 6% and higher average selling price (ASP) per pair contributed approximately 7 percentage points of footwear revenue growth due to higher ASP from full-price sales, on a wholesale equivalent basis, as well as higher ASP in NIKE Direct. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, unit sales of footwear increased approximately 8% and higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 5 percentage points of footwear revenue growth due to higher ASPs from full-price and NIKE Direct sales.
For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, currency-neutral NIKE Brand apparel revenues grew 10% and 12%, respectively. Growth for both periods presented was led by Sportswear. Unit sales of apparel increased 2% and 6% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, and higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 8 and 6 percentage points of apparel revenue growth for the respective periods. For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, the increase in ASP per unit was primarily a result of higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs.
On a reported basis, NIKE Direct revenues represented approximately 32% and 31% of our total NIKE Brand revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, compared to approximately 31% and 30% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2018, respectively. Digital commerce sales were $1,034 million and $2,781 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, compared to $774 million and $2,051 million for the respective prior year periods. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Direct revenues increased 17% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, driven by strong digital commerce sales growth of 36%, comparable store sales growth of 7% and the addition of new stores. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, currency-neutral NIKE Direct revenues grew 16%, driven by a 37% increase in digital commerce sales, 6% growth in comparable store sales and the addition of new stores. Comparable store sales, which exclude digital commerce sales, comprises 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.

For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, our consolidated gross margin was 130 and 90 basis points higher than the respective prior year periods, primarily reflecting the following factors:

• | Higher NIKE Brand full-price ASP, net of discounts and on a wholesale equivalent basis, (increasing gross margin approximately 270 basis points for the third quarter and 190 basis points for the first nine months);

• | Favorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates, including hedges, (increasing gross margin approximately 70 basis points for the third quarter and 20 basis points for the first nine months);

• | Improved margins in our NIKE Direct business (increasing gross margin approximately 20 basis points for the third quarter and 30 basis points for the first nine months); and

• | Higher NIKE Brand product costs, on a wholesale equivalent basis, (decreasing gross margin approximately 240 basis points for the third quarter and 160 basis points for the first nine months).

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

Demand creation expense was relatively flat for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to higher retail brand presentation costs, as well as higher advertising and marketing expenses, offset by lower sports marketing costs. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, Demand creation expense increased 6%, driven by higher sports marketing and retail brand presentation costs, as well as higher advertising and marketing expenses. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced Demand creation expense by approximately 3 percentage points for the third quarter and approximately 2 percentage points for the first nine months.
Operating overhead expense increased 17% and 13% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, primarily driven by higher wage-related and administrative costs resulting from investments in data and analytics capabilities, digital commerce platforms and our initial investment in a new enterprise resource planning tool, all of which are in an effort to accelerate our end to end digital transformation. In addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced Operating overhead expense by approximately 3 percentage points for the third quarter and approximately 1 percentage point for the first nine months.

Other (income) expense, net |  | $ | (55 | ) |  | $ | (1 | ) |  | $ | (50 | ) |  | $ | 35 |

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 third quarter of fiscal 2019, Other (income) expense, net increased from $1 million of other income, net to $55 million in the current year, primarily due to a $40 million net beneficial change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, including hedges.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, Other (income) expense, net changed from $35 million of other expense, net in the prior year to $50 million of other income, net in the current year, primarily due to a $68 million net favorable change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, including hedges.
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 $33 million and $48 million on our Income before income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively.

Our effective tax rate was 14.7% and 14.6% for the third quarter and first nine months ended February 28, 2019, respectively, compared to 179.5% and 74.4% for the respective prior year periods. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate was driven by one-time charges in fiscal 2018 related to the enactment of the Tax Act.

Operating Segments

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

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 (loss) before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As discussed in Note 12 — 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.

In the current marketplace environment, we believe there has been a meaningful shift in the way consumers shop for product and make purchasing decisions. Consumers are demanding a constant flow of fresh and innovative product, and have an expectation for superior service and real-time delivery, all fueled by the shift toward digital. Specifically, in North America we anticipate continued evolution within the retail landscape, driven by shifting consumer traffic patterns across digital and physical channels. The evolution of the North America marketplace has resulted in third-party retail store closures; however, we are currently seeing stabilization and momentum building in our business, fueled by innovative product and NIKE Brand consumer experiences, leveraging digital.
On a currency-neutral basis, for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, North America revenues increased 7%, driven by growth in several key categories for the quarter-to-date period and nearly all key categories for the year-to-date period, led by Sportswear. NIKE Direct revenues increased 6% and 7% for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, as higher digital commerce sales and the addition of new stores more than offset an 8% and 4% decline in comparable store sales, for the respective periods. The decline in comparable store sales for both periods presented was due to higher sales in NIKE Brand in-line stores being more than offset by declines in NIKE Brand Factory Stores ("NFS"), as growth in our full-price channel has impacted the availability of inventory for sale at NFS.
On a currency-neutral basis, footwear revenues increased 10% and 8% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, driven by growth in several key categories, led by Sportswear. Unit sales of footwear increased 2% and 3% for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 8 and 5 percentage points of footwear revenue growth for the respective periods. For both the third quarter and first nine months, the increase in ASP per pair was primarily due to higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting lower discounts, as well as higher ASP in our NIKE Direct business.
Apparel revenues increased 2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by growth in Sportswear, partially offset by declines in our NIKE Basketball category. The decline in NIKE Basketball apparel revenues was due to the timing of launch of our NBA partnership in 2018, which resulted in a greater concentration of sales in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to sales being more evenly distributed over 2019. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, apparel revenues increased 7%, led by Sportswear and NIKE Basketball. For the third quarter, unit sales of apparel decreased 1%, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 3 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. For the first nine months unit sales increased 4% and higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 3 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. For both the third quarter and first nine months, the increase in ASP per unit was primarily a result of higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting lower discounts, as well as higher ASP in our NIKE Direct business.
Reported EBIT increased 9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, driven by revenue growth and gross margin expansion. Gross margin increased 50 basis points as higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting lower discounts, as well as favorable full-price mix more than offset higher product costs. Selling and administrative expense increased due to higher operating overhead and demand creation expenses. Growth in operating overhead expense was primarily driven by higher wage-related costs. Demand creation expense increased as higher marketing and advertising costs were partially offset by lower sports marketing costs.
Reported EBIT increased 10% for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, reflecting higher revenues, gross margin expansion and selling and administrative expense leverage. Gross margin increased 40 basis points as higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting lower discounts, as well as favorable full-price mix more than offset higher product costs. Selling and administrative expense grew due to higher demand creation and operating overhead expenses. The increase in demand creation expense was primarily due to higher advertising and marketing costs. Operating overhead expense increased as a result of higher wage-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense.

On a currency-neutral basis, EMEA revenues for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 grew 12%, driven by balanced growth across all territories. Revenues increased in most key categories, led by strong growth in Sportswear and, to a lesser extent, the Jordan Brand. For the third quarter and first nine months, NIKE Direct revenues increased 15% and 14%, respectively. For the third quarter, revenue growth was due to comparable store sales growth of 13%, higher digital commerce sales and the addition of new stores. For the first nine months, revenue growth was driven by strong digital commerce sales, comparable store sales growth of 10% and the addition of new stores.
Currency-neutral footwear revenue grew 13% for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, driven by higher revenues in most key categories, led by Sportswear. For the third quarter and first nine months, unit sales of footwear increased 8% and 10%, respectively, and higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 5 and 3 percentage points of footwear revenue growth for the respective periods. For the third quarter, higher ASP per pair was primarily driven by higher full-price ASP. For the first nine months, higher ASP per pair primarily resulted from higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs.
For both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 11%, primarily due to growth in Sportswear, Football (Soccer) and the Jordan Brand. For both periods presented, unit sales of apparel increased 6% and higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 5 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, higher ASP per unit was primarily due to higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs.
Reported EBIT increased 29% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to strong revenue growth, gross margin expansion and selling and administrative expense leverage. Gross margin increased 380 basis points, reflecting favorable standard foreign currency exchange rates and higher full-price ASP, partially offset by higher product costs. Selling and administrative expense increased due to higher operating overhead expense, partially offset by lower demand creation expense. The increase in operating overhead expense was primarily driven by higher wage-related and administrative costs. The decrease in demand creation expense was primarily due to lower sports marketing and retail brand presentation costs, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses, all of which were favorably impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, specifically the Euro.
Reported EBIT increased 24% for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily due to strong revenue growth, gross margin expansion and selling and administrative expense leverage. Gross margin increased 200 basis points as favorable standard foreign currency exchange rates and higher full-price ASP more than offset higher product costs. Selling and administrative expense increased due to higher operating overhead and demand creation expense. Growth in operating overhead expense was primarily due to higher wage-related and administrative costs. The increase in demand creation expense was primarily driven by higher advertising and marketing expenses, as well as higher sports marketing costs.

On a currency-neutral basis, APLA revenues increased 14% for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, driven by higher revenues in every territory. For the third quarter, territory revenue growth was led by Korea, SOCO (which comprises Argentina, Uruguay and Chile) and Japan, which increased 16%, 18% and 11%, respectively. For the first nine months, territory revenue growth was lead by SOCO, Korea and Japan, which increased 19%, 17% and 12%, respectively. For both periods presented, r evenues increased in nearly every key category, led by Sportswear and, to a lesser extent, Running. NIKE Direct revenues grew 29% and 24% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, fueled by comparable store sales growth of 23% and 15% for the respective periods, higher digital commerce sales and the addition of new stores.
The increase in currency-neutral footwear revenues of 13% and 14% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, was attributable to growth in nearly all key categories, led by Sportswear and, to a lesser extent, Running. Unit sales of footwear increased 7% and 8% for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, and higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 6 percentage points of footwear revenue growth for both periods presented, driven by higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory.
Currency-neutral apparel revenues grew 17% for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, driven by higher revenues in all key categories, most notably Sportswear. Unit sales of apparel increased 4% and 8% for the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, and higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 13 and 9 percentage points of apparel revenue growth, for the respective periods, primarily due to higher full-price and NIKE Direct ASPs, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory.

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 increased 21% and 26% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, primarily due to higher operating overhead expense, partially offset by lower demand creation expense. For both periods presented, operating overhead expense grew, primarily driven by higher wage-related and administrative costs resulting from investments in data and analytics capabilities, digital commerce platforms and our initial investment in a new enterprise resource planning tool, all of which are in an effort to accelerate our end to end digital transformation. Lower demand creation expense was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing costs for both periods presented.

In territories we define as “direct distribution markets,” Converse designs, markets and sells products directly to distributors, wholesale customers and to consumers through direct to consumer 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.
On a currency-neutral basis, Converse revenues declined 2% and increased 4% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. Comparable direct distribution markets (i.e., markets served under a direct distribution model for comparable periods in the current and prior fiscal years) declined 2% and grew 3% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, reducing total Converse revenues by approximately 3% and increasing total Converse revenues by approximately 3% for the respective periods. Comparable direct distribution market unit sales decreased 4% and 1% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, while higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 2 and 4 percentage points of direct distribution markets revenue growth for the respective periods. On a territory basis, the decrease in comparable direct distribution markets revenues for the third quarter was primarily attributable to lower revenues in the United States and the United Kingdom, which more than offset revenue growth in Asia. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, on a territory basis, the increase in comparable direct distribution markets revenues was primarily due to higher revenue in Asia, partially offset by lower revenues in the United States and the United Kingdom. Conversion of markets from licensed to direct distribution had minimal impact on total Converse revenues for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019. Revenues from comparable licensed markets grew 15% and 12% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, due to revenue growth in Asia and Latin America, contributing approximately 1 percentage point of total Converse revenue growth for both periods presented.
Reported EBIT for Converse increased 14% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to gross margin expansion and lower selling and administrative expense, which more than offset lower revenues. Gross margin increased 290 basis points, driven by favorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, growth in our higher margin direct to consumer business and lower product costs. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense, which more than offset higher operating overhead expense. Lower demand creation expense was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing costs. Higher operating overhead expense was primarily a result of higher wage-related costs.
Reported EBIT for Converse increased 7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, driven by higher revenues and gross margin expansion, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expense. Gross margin increased 210 basis points, driven by favorable standard foreign currency exchange rates, growth in our higher margin direct to consumer business and, to a lesser extent, higher full-price ASP due to changes in product mix. Selling and administrative expense increased due to higher operating overhead expense, which more than offset lower demand creation expense. Higher operating overhead expense was driven by growth in administrative expenses and higher wage-related costs, in part to support investments in digital. Lower demand creation expense was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing costs.

Corporate revenues consist primarily 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 primarily 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 increased $121 million and $170 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, primarily due to the following:

• | an unfavorable change of $85 million and $92 million for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, primarily due to higher operating overhead expense resulting from higher wage-related costs;

• | an unfavorable change of $75 million and $146 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, 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; reported as a component of consolidated gross margin; and

• | a favorable change in net foreign currency gains and losses of $39 million and $68 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, 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.

Foreign Currency Exposures and Hedging Practices

Overview
As a global company with significant operations outside the United States, in the normal course of business we are exposed to risk arising from changes in currency exchange rates. Our primary foreign currency exposures arise from the recording of transactions denominated in non-functional currencies and the translation of foreign currency denominated results of operations, financial position and cash flows into U.S. Dollars.
Our foreign exchange risk management program is intended to lessen both the positive and negative effects of currency fluctuations on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We manage global foreign exchange risk centrally on a portfolio basis to address those risks material to NIKE, Inc. We manage these exposures by taking advantage of natural offsets and currency correlations existing 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 existing 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.
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.

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. NTC sales to a NIKE entity with a different functional currency result in 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 inventory costs 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 NIKE Brand and Converse revenues associated with European operations are earned in currencies other than the Euro (e.g. the British Pound) but are recognized at a subsidiary that uses the Euro as its functional currency. These sales generate a foreign currency exposure.

• | Other Costs — Non-functional currency denominated costs, such as endorsement contracts, also generate foreign currency risk, though to a lesser extent. In certain cases, the Company has entered into contractual agreements which have payments indexed to foreign currencies that create embedded derivative contracts 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.

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.
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 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.

Translational Exposures
Many of our foreign subsidiaries operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates create volatility in our reported results as we are required to translate the balance sheets, operational results and cash flows of these subsidiaries into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting. The translation of foreign subsidiaries’ non-U.S. Dollar denominated balance sheets into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting results in a cumulative translation adjustment to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within Shareholders’ equity. 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 $356 million and a benefit of approximately $333 million for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a detriment of approximately $73 million and a benefit of approximately $72 million for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated Revenues was a detriment of approximately $674 million and a benefit of approximately $394 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a detriment of approximately $116 million and a benefit of approximately $78 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Management generally identifies hyper-inflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. Management has concluded our Argentina subsidiary within our APLA operating segment is operating in a hyper-inflationary market. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the functional currency of our Argentina subsidiary changed from the local currency to the U.S. Dollar. As of and for the period ended February 28, 2019, this change did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition and we do not anticipate it will have a material impact in future periods based on current rates.

To minimize the impact of translating foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting, certain foreign subsidiaries use excess cash to purchase U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale investments. The variable future cash flows associated with the purchase and subsequent sale of these U.S. Dollar denominated investments at non-U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiaries creates a foreign currency exposure that qualifies for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP. We utilize forward contracts and/or options to mitigate the variability of the forecasted future purchases and sales of these U.S. Dollar investments. The combination of the purchase and sale of the U.S. Dollar investment and the hedging instrument has the effect of partially offsetting the year-over-year foreign currency translation impact on net earnings in the period the investments are sold. Hedges of the purchase of U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale investments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
We estimate the combination of translation of foreign currency-denominated profits from our international businesses and the year-over-year change in foreign currency-related gains and losses included in Other (income) expense, net had an unfavorable impact of approximately $33 million and $48 million on our Income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, 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 as net investment hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There were no outstanding net investment hedges as of February 28, 2019 and 2018. There were no cash flows from net investment hedge settlements for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Activity
Cash provided by operations was $3,893 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, compared to $2,685 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Net income, adjusted for non-cash items, generated $4,087 million of operating cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, compared to $1,962 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The net change in working capital and other assets and liabilities resulted in a cash outflow of $194 million during fiscal 2019, a decrease of $917 million from the prior period presented. The first nine months of fiscal 2018 were impacted by the change in other liabilities due to the accrual of $1,242 million for the transition tax under the Tax Act. Cash provided by operations was further impacted by the net change in cash collateral with derivative counterparties as a result of hedging transactions. During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, we received cash collateral of $114 million, as compared to posting net cash collateral of $354 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Refer to the Credit Risk section of Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives for additional details. Also impacting the change in cash provided by operations was a $463 million increase in Accounts receivable, net, driven by revenue growth.
Cash (used) provided by investing activities was a $121 million use of cash for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, compared to a $526 million source of cash for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The primary driver of the change related to a cash inflow for the net purchases, sales and maturities of short-term investments of $720 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to $1,254 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Additionally, investments in infrastructure increased to $846 million in the current period from $728 million in the prior period.
Cash used by financing activities increased to $4,267 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, from $3,448 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018, primarily driven by higher share repurchases during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to the prior period.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, we repurchased 43.7 million shares of NIKE’s Class B Common Stock for $3,386 million (an average price of $77.44 per share). During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed the previous four-year, $12 billion share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in November 2015. Throughout this program we purchased a total of 192.1 million shares for $12 billion (an average price of $62.47 per share). Immediately following the completion of this program, we began share repurchases under the new four-year, $15 billion program authorized by our Board of Directors in June 2018. Of the total 43.7 million shares repurchased during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, approximately 1.0 million shares were purchased under this new program at a cost of approximately $89.2 million (an average price of $85.08 per share). We continue to expect funding of share repurchases will come from operating cash flows, excess cash and/or proceeds from debt.
Capital Resources
On July 21, 2016, we filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf”) with the SEC which permits us to issue an unlimited amount of debt securities from time to time. The Shelf expires on July 21, 2019. For additional detail refer to Note 8 — Long Term Debt in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018.
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 nine months ended February 28, 2019, 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 ratings were to decline, the facility fee and interest rate under our committed credit facility would increase. Conversely, if our long-term debt ratings were to improve, the facility fee and interest rate would decrease. Changes in our long-term debt ratings would not trigger acceleration of maturity of any then-outstanding borrowings or any future borrowings under the committed credit facility. Under this 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 February 28, 2019, 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. On June 1, 2018, we repaid $325 million of commercial paper outstanding and had no additional borrowings under this program as of and for the nine months ended February 28, 2019. We may continue to issue commercial paper or other debt securities during fiscal 2019 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.
To date, in fiscal 2019, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets or incurred higher interest costs; however, future volatility in the capital markets may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets.
As of February 28, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $4.0 billion, consisting 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 February 28, 2019, the weighted-average days to maturity of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 34 days.
We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described above, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and foreign capital needs in the foreseeable future.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of February 28, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

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.
The following critical accounting policy has changed from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer also to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on the adoption of Topic 606.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue transactions associated with the sale of NIKE Brand footwear, apparel and equipment, as well as Converse products, comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale or direct to consumer channels. We satisfy the performance obligation and record revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. A customer is considered to have control once they’re able to direct the use and receive substantially all of the benefits of the product. Transfer of control passes to wholesale customers upon shipment or upon receipt depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Control passes to retail store customers at the time of sale and to substantially all digital commerce customers upon shipment. The transaction price is determined based upon the invoiced sales price, less anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. Payment terms for wholesale transactions depend on the country of sale or agreement with the customer, and payment is generally required within 90 days or less of shipment to or receipt by the wholesale customer. Payment is due at the time of sale for retail store and digital commerce transactions.
As part of our revenue recognition policy, consideration promised in our contracts with customers includes a variable amount related to anticipated sales returns, discounts and miscellaneous claims from customers. This variable consideration is estimated and recorded as a reduction to Revenues and as an increase to Accrued liabilities at the time revenues are recognized. The estimated cost of inventory for returned product related to anticipated sales returns is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.
The provision for anticipated sales returns consists of both contractual return rights and discretionary authorized returns. Provisions for post-invoice sales discounts consist of both contractual programs and discretionary discounts that are expected to be granted at a later date.
Estimates of discretionary authorized returns, discounts and claims are based on (1) historical rates, (2) specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers and outstanding discounts and claims and (3) estimated returns, discounts and claims expected, but not yet finalized with customers. Actual returns, discounts and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from estimates recorded. If actual or expected future returns, discounts or claims were significantly greater or lower than the reserves established, a reduction or increase to net revenues would be recorded in the period in which such determination was made.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
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, 2018.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance 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 February 28, 2019.
We are continuing several transformation initiatives to centralize and simplify our business processes and systems. These are long-term initiatives, which we believe will enhance our internal control over financial reporting due to increased automation and further integration of related processes. We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting for effectiveness throughout the transformation.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements and Analyst Reports
Certain written and oral statements, other than purely historic information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to NIKE’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, made or incorporated by reference from time to time by NIKE or its representatives in this report, other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 technology systems and controls, including, without limitation, the systems related to demand and supply planning and inventory control; interruptions in data and information technology systems; consumer data security; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results, including, without limitation, the fact that advance orders may not be indicative of future revenues due to changes in shipment timing, the changing mix of orders with shorter lead times, and discounts, order cancellations and returns; the ability of NIKE to sustain, manage or forecast its growth and inventories; the size, timing and mix of purchases of NIKE’s products; increases in the cost of materials, labor and energy used to manufacture products; new product development and introduction; the ability to secure and protect trademarks, patents and other intellectual property; product performance and quality; customer service; adverse publicity, including without limitation, through social media or in connection with brand damaging events; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; dependence on distributors and licensees; business disruptions; increased costs of freight and transportation to meet delivery deadlines; increases in borrowing costs due to any decline in NIKE’s debt ratings; changes in business strategy or development plans; general risks associated with doing business outside of the United States, including, without limitation, exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, import duties, tariffs, quotas, political and economic instability and terrorism; the impact of recent U.S. tax reform legislation on our results of operations; the political impact of new laws, regulations or policy, including, without limitation, tariffs, import/export, trade and immigration regulations or policies; changes in government regulations; the impact of, including business and legal developments relating to, climate change and natural disasters; litigation, regulatory proceedings and other claims asserted against NIKE; the ability to attract and retain qualified employees, and any negative public perception with respect to 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.
