NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NIKE, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “NIKE”) and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data as of May 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

As previously disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, the extent to which the evolving COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company's financial statements will depend on a number of factors, including the magnitude and duration of the pandemic. There remains risk that COVID-19 could have material adverse impacts on future revenue growth as well as overall profitability and may lead to higher than normal inventory levels in various markets, revised payment terms with certain wholesale customers, higher sales-related reserves and a volatile effective tax rate driven by changes in the mix of earnings across the Company's jurisdictions.


NOTE 2 — INVENTORIES

Inventory balances of $6,090 million and $7,367 million at November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, respectively, were substantially all finished goods.


NOTE 3 — ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities included the following:


	NOVEMBER 30,		MAY 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2020		2020
Compensation and benefits, excluding taxes	$	1,157	$	1,248

Allowance for expected loss on sale(1)	438		405
Other	2,824		2,163
TOTAL ACCRUED LIABILITIES	$	6,030	$	5,184

(1)Refer to Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.


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. For additional information about the Company's fair value policies refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020.

The following tables present information about the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, and indicate the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the Company classifies the fair value measurement:

As of November 30, 2020, the Company held $3,131 million of available-for-sale debt securities with maturity dates within one year and $46 million with maturity dates over one year and less than five years in Short-term investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Company's available-for-sale debt securities approximates their amortized cost.

Included in Interest expense (income), net was interest income related to the Company's investment portfolio of $6 million and $14 million for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $13 million and $35 million for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following tables present information about the Company's derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the Company classifies the fair value measurement:

As of that date, the Company had posted $170 million of cash collateral to various counterparties related to foreign exchange derivative instruments. NaN amount of collateral was received on the Company's derivative asset balance as of November 30, 2020.

(1)If the foreign exchange derivative instruments had been netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the asset and liability positions each would have been reduced by $76 million as of May 31, 2020. As of that date, 0 amount of cash collateral had been received or posted on the derivative asset and liability balances related to these foreign exchange derivative instruments.

For additional information related to the Company's derivative financial instruments and credit risk, refer to Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives.

The carrying amounts of other current financial assets and other current financial liabilities approximate fair value.

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 $11,044 million at November 30, 2020 and $10,645 million at May 31, 2020.

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

The carrying amounts reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Notes payable approximate fair value.

As of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the Company had $23 million and $248 million of borrowings outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 1.76% and 1.65%, respectively, under its $4 billion commercial paper program. Commercial paper repayments with original maturities greater than three months are included in Repayment of borrowings on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of November 30, 2020, there have been no significant changes to the credit lines reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020.


NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 12.7% and 11.7% for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in the proportion of earnings taxed in the U.S. and the recognition of a reserve in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 related to Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, where the taxpayer was denied a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court on June 22, 2020, thereby ratifying the Ninth Circuit Court's decision and requiring the inclusion of stock-based compensation in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate was partially offset by discrete items which included a more favorable impact from stock-based compensation.

As of November 30, 2020, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $872 million, $587 million of which would affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. During the six months ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized $77 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to Altera Corp. v. Commissioner discussed above, of which $71 million impacted the effective tax rate. The majority of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits are long-term in nature and included within Deferred income taxes and other liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of May 31, 2020, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $771 million. The liability for payment of interest and penalties increased by $33 million during the six months ended November 30, 2020. As of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were $191 million and $158 million, respectively (excluding federal benefit).

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for fiscal years 2017 through 2019. The Company has closed all U.S. federal income tax matters through fiscal 2016, with the exception of certain transfer pricing adjustments.

Table of Contents

Tax years after 2009 remain open in certain major foreign jurisdictions. Although the timing of resolution of audits is not certain, the Company evaluates all domestic and foreign audit issues in the aggregate, along with the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, and estimates that it is reasonably possible the total gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $60 million within the next 12 months. In January 2019, the European Commission opened a formal investigation to examine whether the Netherlands has breached State Aid rules when granting certain tax rulings to the Company. The Company believes the investigation is without merit. If this matter is adversely resolved, the Netherlands may be required to assess additional amounts with respect to current and prior periods, and the Company's Netherlands income taxes in the future could increase.


NOTE 7 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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). Refer to Note 11 — Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 for further information.

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 NOVEMBER 30,				SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Stock options(1)	$	107	$	64	$	177	$	106

Restricted stock	65		35		113		60
TOTAL STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE	$	189	$	110	$	325	$	190

(1)Expense for stock options includes the expense associated with stock appreciation rights. Accelerated stock option expense is primarily recorded for employees meeting certain retirement eligibility requirements and certain employees impacted by the Company's organizational realignment. For more information see Note 14 — Restructuring.

The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $108 million and $77 million for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $189 million and $114 million for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

STOCK OPTIONS

The weighted average fair value per share of the options granted during the six months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, computed as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $26.75 and $18.46, respectively. The weighted average assumptions used to estimate these fair values were as follows:


	SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30,
	2020		2019
Dividend yield	0.9	%	1.0	%
Expected volatility	27.3	%	23.0	%
Weighted average expected life (in years)	6.0		6.0
Risk-free interest rate	0.4	%	1.5	%

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock, the implied volatility in market traded options on the Company's common stock with a term greater than one year, as well as other factors. The weighted average expected life of options is based on an analysis of historical and expected future exercise patterns. The interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury (constant maturity) risk-free rate in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the options.

As of November 30, 2020, the Company had $589 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 2.7 years.

RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

The weighted average fair value per share of restricted stock and restricted stock units granted for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, computed as of the grant date, was $109.36 and $84.85, respectively. As of November 30, 2020, the Company had $513 million of unrecognized compensation costs from restricted stock and restricted stock units, net of estimated forfeitures, to be recognized in Cost of sales or Operating overhead expense, as applicable, over a weighted average remaining period of 2.9 years.


NOTE 8 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following is a reconciliation from basic earnings per common share to diluted earnings per common share. The computations of diluted earnings per common share excluded options, including shares under ESPPs, and restricted stock to purchase an additional 12.6 million and 34.2 million shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 13.5 million and 34.2 million shares of common stock outstanding for the six months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, because the options were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9 — RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVES

The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. As of and for the six months ended November 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the Company's hedging program or strategy from what was disclosed within the Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional information about the Company's derivatives and hedging policies refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 14 — Risk Management and Derivatives of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020.

The majority of derivatives outstanding as of November 30, 2020 are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, primarily for Euro/U.S. Dollar, Chinese Yuan/U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar and British Pound/Euro, currency pairs. All derivatives are recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified based on the instrument's maturity date.

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 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 rare circumstances, the additional period of time may exceed two months due to extenuating circumstances related to the nature of the forecasted transaction that are outside the control or influence of the Company. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company accounts for the derivative as an undesignated instrument as discussed below.

The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $13.9 billion as of November 30, 2020. Approximately $233 million of deferred net losses (net of tax) on both outstanding and matured derivatives in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of November 30, 2020, are expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next 12 months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net income. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net income are dependent on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts currently outstanding mature. As of November 30, 2020, the maximum term over which the Company hedges exposures to the variability of cash flows for its forecasted transactions was 24 months.

Table of Contents

UNDESIGNATED DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company may elect to enter into foreign exchange forwards to mitigate the change in fair value of specific assets and liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and/or the embedded derivative contracts. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net, together with the re-measurement gain or loss from the hedged balance sheet position and/or embedded derivative contract. The total notional amount of outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $4.4 billion as of November 30, 2020.

EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES

Embedded derivative contracts are treated as foreign currency forward contracts that are bifurcated from the related contract and recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with their corresponding change in fair value recognized in Other (income) expense, net, through the date the foreign currency fluctuations cease to exist.

As of November 30, 2020, the total notional amount of embedded derivatives outstanding was approximately $410 million.

CREDIT RISK

The Company's bilateral credit-related contingent features generally require the owing entity, either the Company or the derivative counterparty, to post collateral for the portion of the fair value in excess of $50 million should the fair value of outstanding derivatives per counterparty be greater than $50 million. Additionally, a certain level of decline in credit rating of either the Company or the counterparty could also trigger collateral requirements. As of November 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all credit risk-related contingent features, and derivative instruments with such features were in a net liability position of approximately $549 million. Accordingly, the Company was required to post $170 million of cash collateral as a result of these contingent features. Further, 0 amount of collateral was received on the Company's derivative asset balance as of November 30, 2020. The Company considers the impact of the risk of counterparty default to be immaterial.

For additional information related to the Company's derivative financial instruments and collateral, refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements.

NOTE 12 — OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company's operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company's internal organization. The NIKE Brand segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE Brand sales activity.

The Company's NIKE Direct operations are managed within each NIKE Brand geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable segment for the Company, and operates in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of athletic lifestyle sneakers, apparel and accessories.

Global Brand Divisions is included within the NIKE Brand for presentation purposes to align with the way management views the Company. Global Brand Divisions revenues represent NIKE Brand licensing and other miscellaneous revenues that are not part of a geographic operating segment. Global Brand Divisions costs represent demand creation and operating overhead expense that include product creation and design expenses centrally managed for the NIKE Brand, as well as costs associated with NIKE Direct global digital operations and enterprise technology.

Corporate consists primarily of unallocated general and administrative expenses, including expenses associated with centrally managed departments; depreciation and amortization related to the Company's headquarters; unallocated insurance, benefit and compensation programs, including stock-based compensation; and certain foreign currency gains and losses, including certain hedge gains and losses.

The primary financial measure used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments is earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), which represents Net income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As part of the Company's centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency rates are assigned twice per year to each NIKE Brand entity in the Company's geographic operating segments and to Converse. These rates are set approximately nine and twelve months in advance of the future selling seasons to which they relate (specifically, for each currency, one standard rate applies to the fall and holiday selling seasons and one standard rate applies to the spring and summer selling seasons) based on average market spot rates in the calendar month preceding the date they are established. Inventories and 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.

NOTE 13 — ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, as a result of the Company's decision to transition its wholesale and direct to consumer operating model in certain countries within its APLA operating segment, the Company signed definitive agreements to sell its NIKE Brand businesses in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to third-party distributors. Specifically, NIKE entered into agreements to sell its operations in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to Grupo Axo and to sell substantially all of its operations in Brazil to Grupo SBF S.A., through its wholly owned subsidiary. The Company will retain a small operation in Brazil focused on certain sports marketing assets, local manufacturing and Converse.

As a result of this decision, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the related assets and liabilities of these entities were classified as held-for-sale within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accrued liabilities, respectively, and remain as such on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 30, 2020.

BRAZIL

On November 30, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds from Grupo SBF S.A., which were reflected within Other investing activities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and recognized a $47 million loss within Other (income) expense, net, classified within Corporate, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The transaction closed on December 1, 2020, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

As of November 30, 2020, held-for-sale assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

•Held-for-sale assets of $242 million, primarily consisting of $174 million of Accounts receivable, net; and

•Held-for-sale liabilities of $59 million, primarily consisting of $30 million of Accrued liabilities.

As of May 31, 2020, held-for-sale assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

•Held-for-sale assets of $272 million, primarily consisting of $142 million of Inventories and $101 million of Accounts receivable, net; and

•Held-for-sale liabilities of $91 million, primarily consisting of $51 million of Accrued liabilities.

ARGENTINA, CHILE AND URUGUAY

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company and Grupo Axo mutually agreed to terminate the sale and purchase agreement for the transition of NIKE’s businesses in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to a distributor partnership. However, as the Company remains committed to selling its NIKE Brand businesses in all three countries to third-party distributors, the assets and liabilities of the entities will remain classified as held-for-sale on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of November 30, 2020, held-for-sale assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

•Held-for-sale assets of $257 million, primarily consisting of $119 million of Inventories and $80 million of Accounts receivable, net; and

•Held-for-sale liabilities of $26 million, primarily consisting of Accrued liabilities.

Table of Contents

As of May 31, 2020, held-for-sale assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

•Held-for-sale assets of $234 million, primarily consisting of $122 million of Inventories and $50 million of Prepaid expenses and other current assets; and

•Held-for-sale liabilities of $55 million, primarily consisting of $34 million of Accrued liabilities.

As of November 30, 2020, the Company recognized total expected losses related to the Argentina, Chile and Uruguay transaction of $438 million within Other (income) expense, net, classified within Corporate, and a corresponding allowance within Accrued liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; $405 million of which was recognized in fiscal 2020, primarily upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria. The expected loss is largely due to the anticipated release of the cumulative foreign currency translation losses recognized by the Argentina, Chile and Uruguay legal entities.


NOTE 14 —RESTRUCTURING

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company announced a new digitally empowered phase of its Consumer Direct Offense strategy: Consumer Direct Acceleration. As a result, management announced a series of leadership and operating model changes to streamline and speed up strategic execution for the Company. These changes will result in a net reduction of the Company's global workforce and the Company expects to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $315 million, the majority of which relate to employee termination costs and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation expense. These amounts reflect the continued evaluation and variability of the Company's original estimate of employee termination costs and required changes in assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expense. The related cash expenditures will primarily take place throughout fiscal 2021 and all related actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2021.

During the three months ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized employee termination costs of $107 million and $30 million within Operating overhead expense and Cost of sales, respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized employee termination costs of $145 million and $30 million within Operating overhead expense and Cost of sales, respectively. These costs were classified within Corporate.

The activity was recognized within Accrued liabilities as follows:


(Dollars in millions)
Balance at August 31, 2020	$	34
Employee termination costs	137
Cash payments	(67)
Balance at November 30, 2020	$	104


(Dollars in millions)
Balance at May 31, 2020	$	0
Employee termination costs	175
Cash payments	(71)
Balance at November 30, 2020	$	104

Additionally, the related stock-based compensation expense recorded within Operating overhead expense and Costs of sales was $30 million and $4 million, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2020, and $39 million and $4 million, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2020.

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 to 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.

Since fiscal 2018, through the Consumer Direct Offense and our Triple Double strategy, we have focused on doubling the impact of innovation, increasing our speed and agility to market and growing our direct connections with consumers. In June 2020, we announced a new digitally empowered phase of the Consumer Direct Offense strategy: Consumer Direct Acceleration. This strategic acceleration will focus on three specific areas. First, creating the marketplace of the future through more premium, consistent and seamless consumer experiences that more closely align with what consumers want and need. This strategy will lead with NIKE Digital and our own stores, as well as through select strategic partners who share our marketplace vision. Second, we will align our product creation and category organizations around a new consumer construct focused on Men’s, Women's and Kids'. This approach is intended to allow us to create product that better meets individual consumer needs, including more specialization of our category approach, while re-aligning and simplifying our offense to accelerate our largest growth opportunities. In particular, we expect to reinvest in our Women's and Kids' businesses and also simplify our operating model across the remainder of the Company to optimize effectiveness. Third, we will unify investments in data and analytics, demand sensing, insight gathering, inventory management and other areas against an end-to-end technology foundation to accelerate our digital transformation. We believe this unified approach will accelerate growth and unlock more efficiency for our business, while driving speed and responsiveness as we serve consumers globally.

As a result of our strategic acceleration, management announced on July 22, 2020, a series of leadership and operating model changes to streamline and speed up our execution. These changes will result in a net reduction of our global workforce and we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $315 million, the majority of which relate to employee termination costs and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation expense. These amounts reflect the continued evaluation and variability of our original estimate of employee termination costs and required changes in assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expense. For the first six months of fiscal 2021, we incurred pre-tax charges of $218 million and expect all remaining actions to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2021. We expect future annual wage-related savings will be reinvested to execute against this next phase of our strategy. For more information related to our organizational realignment and related costs, see Note 14 — Restructuring within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

COVID-19 UPDATE

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business results and operations globally, causing us to transform the way we operate in order to better serve our consumers. Although uncertainty due to the pandemic continues to exist, our financial results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 demonstrate our ability to navigate the dynamic situation. Despite physical retail traffic being below prior year levels, Revenues grew 9% and 4% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, respectively, and 7% and 4% on a currency-neutral basis. Through our intentional supply and demand management, inventory levels have declined, and we ended the second quarter of fiscal 2021 with Inventories down 17% compared to May 31, 2020. We reduced discretionary spending while continuing to invest in our digital transformation. As a result, total selling and administrative expense declined 2% for the second quarter and 6% for the first six months of fiscal 2021. However, we expect Demand creation expense to increase in future periods as major sporting events and key sports moments resume following recovery from the pandemic, along with investments in strategic areas to drive growth. Our liquidity position remains strong and we ended the second quarter with $11.8 billion of Cash and equivalents and Short-term investments.

Our NIKE Direct business continues to fuel our growth as we navigate through the pandemic, leveraging our digital assets with our store footprint to connect directly with the consumer. On a reported basis, NIKE Direct sales for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 were $4.3 billion and $8.0 billion, respectively, growing 30% and 22%, respectively, on a currency-neutral basis. NIKE Brand digital remained our fastest growing channel, with growth of 80% and 81% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we experienced temporary store closures in geographies affected by rising COVID-19 cases; however, more than 80% of our owned stores were open as of January 4, 2021, with some operating on reduced hours. Despite a substantial majority of stores being open during the quarter, we experienced a

Table of Contents

decline in comparable store sales in EMEA, North America and APLA, primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

We continue to monitor the ongoing and evolving situation, as well as guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, we expect that fiscal 2021 will continue to be a time of uncertainty across each of our geographies and we expect each market recovery will be dynamic. While our results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021 are positive, there remains the risk that COVID-19 could have material adverse impacts on our future revenue growth as well as our overall profitability and may lead to higher than normal inventory levels in various markets, revised payment terms with certain of our wholesale customers, higher sales-related reserves and a volatile effective tax rate driven by changes in the mix of earnings across the Company's jurisdictions.

SECOND QUARTER OVERVIEW

For the second quarter of fiscal 2021, NIKE, Inc. Revenues increased 9% to $11.2 billion compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. On a currency-neutral basis, Revenues increased 7%. Net income was $1,251 million and diluted earnings per common share was $0.78 for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to Net income of $1,115 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.70 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Income before income taxes increased 17% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily due to higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expense, partially offset by a decline in gross margin. The NIKE Brand, which represents over 90% of NIKE, Inc. Revenues, increased 9% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Brand revenues grew 8%, driven by higher revenues across all geographies, footwear and apparel, as well as growth in most key categories, primarily Sportswear and the Jordan Brand. Revenues for Converse decreased 1% and 4% on a reported and currency-neutral basis, respectively, as double-digit growth in digital and growth in Asia were more than offset by declines in Europe and North America, primarily due to tighter supply and strategic distribution shifts.

Our effective tax rate was 14.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 10.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily due to changes in the proportion of earnings taxed in the U.S. and an increase in tax associated with the recent finalization of U.S. tax regulations, partially offset by a more favorable impact from stock-based compensation.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our NIKE Brand businesses in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay and to shift to a distributor operating model. The transaction with Grupo SBF S.A. to purchase substantially all of our NIKE Brand operations in Brazil closed on December 1, 2020, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Additionally, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we mutually agreed with Grupo Axo to terminate the sale and purchase agreement for the transition of NIKE’s businesses in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to a distributor partnership. However, as we remain committed to selling our NIKE Brand businesses in all three countries to third-party distributors, the assets and liabilities of the entities will remain classified as held-for-sale on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information see Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including references to wholesale equivalent revenues, currency-neutral revenues as well as Total NIKE Brand earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and Total NIKE, Inc. EBIT, which should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). References to wholesale equivalent revenues are intended to provide context as to the total size of our NIKE Brand market footprint if we had no NIKE Direct operations. NIKE Brand wholesale equivalent revenues consist of (1) sales to external wholesale customers and (2) internal sales from our wholesale operations to our NIKE Direct operations, which are charged at prices comparable to those charged to external wholesale customers. Currency-neutral revenues are calculated using actual exchange rates in use during the comparative prior year period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. EBIT is calculated as Net Income before Interest expense (income), net and Income tax expense in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company's performance, including when making financial and operating decisions. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. However, references to wholesale equivalent revenues, currency-neutral revenues and EBIT should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE, Inc. Revenues grew 7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, due to growth across all NIKE Brand geographies, partially offset by lower revenues in Converse. Higher revenues in Greater China and EMEA each contributed approximately 3 percentage points of growth to NIKE, Inc. Revenues, with APLA contributing approximately 1 percentage point of growth.

On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Brand footwear revenues increased 8%, driven by growth in most key categories, primarily Sportswear and the Jordan Brand, partially offset by declines in Running. Unit sales of footwear increased 4% and higher average selling price (ASP) per pair contributed approximately 4 percentage points of footwear revenue growth, primarily due to the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business, as well as higher full-price ASP, on a wholesale equivalent basis.

Currency-neutral NIKE Brand apparel revenues grew 7%, reflecting higher revenues in several key categories, most notably Sportswear and Football (Soccer). Unit sales of apparel increased 9%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 2 percentage points. Lower ASP per unit was primarily due to lower full-price ASP, in part reflecting higher discounts, as well as an unfavorable full-price mix.

On a reported basis, NIKE Direct revenues represented approximately 40% of our total NIKE Brand revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 33% for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Digital sales were $2.4 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $1.3 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2020. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Direct revenues increased 30%, driven by digital sales growth of 80%, which more than offset comparable store sales declines of 4% primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19. Comparable store sales, which exclude digital 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. Comparable store sales includes revenues from stores that were temporarily closed during the period as a result of COVID-19. Comparable store sales represents a performance measure that we believe is useful information for management and investors in understanding the performance of our established NIKE-owned in-line and factory stores. Management considers this metric when making financial and operating

decisions. The method of calculating comparable store sales varies across the retail industry. As a result, our calculation of this metric may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE, Inc. Revenues grew 4% for the first six months of fiscal 2021, driven by growth in Greater China and EMEA, partially offset by lower revenues in APLA. Higher revenues in Greater China and EMEA each contributed approximately 2 percentage points of growth to NIKE, Inc. Revenues.

On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Brand footwear revenues increased 7%, driven by growth in several key categories, led by Sportswear and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 2% and higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 5 percentage points of footwear revenue growth, primarily due to higher full-price ASP and the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.

Currency-neutral NIKE Brand apparel revenues were flat as growth in Sportswear, Football (Soccer) and the Jordan Brand, was offset by declines in all other key categories. Unit sales of apparel increased 1%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 1 percentage point. Lower ASP per unit was primarily due to lower full-price ASP, in part reflecting higher discounts, as well as unfavorable full-price mix, partially offset by the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.

On a reported basis, NIKE Direct revenues represented approximately 38% of our total NIKE Brand revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to 33% for the first six months of fiscal 2020. Digital sales were $4.4 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to $2.4 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2020. On a currency-neutral basis, NIKE Direct revenues increased 22% for the first six months of fiscal 2021, driven by digital sales growth of 81%, partially offset by a 13% decline in comparable store sales driven by reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, our consolidated gross margin was 90 and 100 basis points lower than the respective prior year period and reflected unfavorable impacts from COVID-19. For the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the change in gross margin primarily reflected the following factors:

•Lower margin in our NIKE Direct business, reflecting higher promotions to reduce excess inventory as a result of COVID-19 (decreasing gross margin approximately 80 basis points);

•Lower mix of full-price sales (decreasing gross margin approximately 70 basis points);

•Higher other costs, in part reflecting higher warehousing and freight as well as restructuring-related costs related to our organizational realignment, partially offset by lower inventory obsolescence (decreasing gross margin approximately 40 basis points);

•Unfavorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates, including hedges, (decreasing gross margin approximately 30 basis points); and

•Lower NIKE Brand product costs, on a wholesale equivalent basis, due to favorable product mix, lower air freight and reduced tariffs in North America (increasing gross margin approximately 110 basis points).

For the first six months of fiscal 2021, the change in gross margin primarily reflected the following factors:

•Lower margin in our NIKE Direct business, reflecting higher promotions to reduce excess inventory as a result of COVID-19 (decreasing gross margin approximately 120 basis points);

•Lower mix of full-price sales (decreasing gross margin approximately 70 basis points);

•Unfavorable changes in net foreign currency exchange rates, including hedges, (decreasing gross margin approximately 30 basis points);

•Higher other costs, in part reflecting higher warehousing and freight as well as restructuring-related costs, partially offset by lower inventory obsolescence and the favorable impact from the release of factory cancellation cost accruals due to higher than anticipated consumer demand (decreasing gross margin approximately 10 basis points); and

•Higher NIKE Brand full-price ASP, net of discounts, (increasing gross margin approximately 110 basis points).

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

Demand creation expense decreased 17% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due primarily to lower advertising and marketing costs, as well as a decline in sports marketing expense and retail brand presentation costs as a result of COVID-19. This activity was partially offset by an increase in digital marketing to support heightened digital demand. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased Demand creation expense by approximately 1 percentage point.

Operating overhead expense increased 4% primarily due to $137 million of restructuring-related costs associated with changes to our organizational model announced in July 2020, as well as continued investments in digital capabilities to support the Consumer Direct Acceleration strategy. These costs were slightly offset by disciplined expense management including lower wage-related expenses and lower travel and related costs. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased Operating overhead expense by approximately 1 percentage point.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

Demand creation expense decreased 26% for the first six months of fiscal 2021, driven by lower advertising and marketing costs, as well as a decline in sports marketing expense and retail brand presentation costs as a result of COVID-19. This activity was partially offset by an increase in digital marketing to support heightened digital demand. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on Demand creation expense.

Operating overhead expense increased 2%, primarily due to $184 million of restructuring-related costs associated with changes to our organizational model announced in July 2020, as well as our continued investments in digital capabilities, partially offset by lower travel and related expenses. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on Operating overhead expense.

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

For the second quarter of fiscal 2021, Other (income) expense, net changed from $41 million of other income, net to $54 million of other expense, net in the current year, primarily due to a net detrimental change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, including hedges, as well as a charge related to our planned, strategic distributor partnership transition within APLA.

For the first six months of fiscal 2021, Other (income) expense, net changed from $74 million of other income, net to $40 million of other expense, net in the current year, primarily due to charges related to our planned, strategic distributor partnership transition within APLA, as well as a net detrimental change in foreign currency conversion gains and losses, including hedges.

For more information related to our distributor partnership transition within APLA, see Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 favorable impacts of approximately $10 million and unfavorable impacts of approximately $28 million on our Income before income taxes for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, respectively.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

Our operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company's internal organization. The NIKE Brand segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE Brand sales activity.

Each NIKE Brand geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and selling of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment. The Company's reportable operating segments for the NIKE Brand are: North America; Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA); Greater China; and Asia Pacific & Latin America (APLA), and include results for the NIKE and Jordan brands. The Company's NIKE Direct operations are managed within each geographic operating segment. Converse is also a reportable operating segment for the Company, and operates predominately in one industry: the design, marketing, licensing and selling of athletic lifestyle sneakers, apparel and accessories.

As part of our centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program, standard foreign currency exchange rates are assigned twice per year to each NIKE Brand entity in our geographic operating segments and Converse. These rates are set approximately nine and twelve months in advance of the future selling seasons to which they relate (specifically, for each currency, one standard rate applies to the fall and holiday selling seasons and one standard rate applies to the spring and summer selling seasons) based on average market spot rates in the calendar month preceding the date they are established. Inventories and 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 exchange rates and actual market rates are included in Corporate, together with foreign currency hedge gains and losses generated from our centrally managed foreign exchange risk management program and other conversion gains and losses.

We believe there continues to be a meaningful shift in the way consumers shop for product and make purchasing decisions across each of our geographies. Consumers are demanding a constant flow of fresh and innovative product, and have an expectation for superior service and rapid delivery, all fueled by the shift toward digital and mono-brand experiences in NIKE Direct. We anticipate continued evolution within the retail landscape, driven by shifting consumer traffic patterns across digital and physical channels. Specifically in North America, we remain focused on building long-term momentum with our differentiated strategic wholesale customers and over the last three years have significantly reduced the number of undifferentiated accounts. Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we took further steps towards account and channel consolidation by reprioritizing product allocation to benefit NIKE Direct and our differentiated strategic wholesale customers. We expect over the next two fiscal years, we will more aggressively accelerate these changes as we work to reprofile the shape of the marketplace and recapture wholesale revenue declines over time.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, North America revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 1%, largely driven by significant growth in digital. NIKE Direct revenues increased 32% as strong digital sales growth of 107% more than offset an 11% decline in comparable store sales primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

Footwear revenues increased 4% on a currency-neutral basis, largely driven by significant growth in digital. Unit sales of footwear decreased 4%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 8 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business, as well as higher NIKE Direct and full-price ASPs.

Table of Contents

On a currency-neutral basis, apparel revenues decreased 3%, as growth in Sportswear was more than offset by lower revenues in several key categories, led by Training, and the divestiture of Hurley in the prior year. Unit sales of apparel were flat while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 3 percentage points. The decrease in ASP per unit was primarily driven by lower full-price ASP, in part reflecting higher discounts, partially offset by the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business and higher NIKE Direct ASP.

Reported EBIT increased 17% driven by lower selling and administrative expense, gross margin expansion and higher revenues. Gross margin increased approximately 100 basis points primarily due to lower product costs reflecting the impact of lower air freight and reduced tariffs, as well as lower inventory obsolescence. These impacts were partially offset by lower full-price ASP, reflecting higher discounts to reduce excess inventory due to COVID-19 and a lower mix of full-price sales. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation and operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense reflected lower advertising and marketing costs, as well as a decline in retail brand presentation costs, partially offset by continued investments in digital marketing to support heightened digital demand. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily as a result of lower wage-related expense, partially offset by an increase in professional services costs.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, North America revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2021 were flat as growth in Sportswear was offset by declines in nearly all other key categories, led by Training and Running. NIKE Direct revenues increased 18%, primarily due to digital sales growth of 103%, partially offset by comparable store sales contraction of 25%, primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

Footwear revenues increased 7% on a currency-neutral basis as growth in Sportswear was partially offset by declines in nearly all other key categories, led by Running. Unit sales of footwear increased 2%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 5 percentage points of footwear revenue growth. Higher ASP per pair was primarily due to higher NIKE Direct and full-price ASPs, as well as the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.

On a currency-neutral basis, apparel revenues decreased 12%, driven by declines in most key categories, led by Training, NIKE Basketball, as well as the divestiture of Hurley in the prior year. Unit sales of apparel declined 10% and lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 2 percentage points. The decrease in ASP per unit was driven by lower full-price ASP and a lower mix of full-price sales, partially offset by the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business and higher NIKE Direct ASP.

Reported EBIT increased 18% driven by lower selling and administrative expense and gross margin expansion. Gross margin increased approximately 130 basis points due to higher full-price ASP and lower other costs, partially offset by lower margin in our NIKE Direct business and a lower mix of full-price sales. The decrease in other costs was primarily a result of lower inventory obsolescence and the favorable impact from the release of factory cancellation cost accruals due to an increase in consumer demand. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense and operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing costs, retail brand presentation costs and sports marketing expense, partially offset by continued investments in digital marketing to support heightened digital demand. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily as a result of lower wage-related expense, partially offset by an increase in professional services costs.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, EMEA revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 grew 12%, driven by higher revenues across most territories, led by UK & Ireland, Central Europe and Northern Europe, which grew 32%, 21% and 7%, respectively. Revenues increased in all key categories, led by Sportswear, Football (Soccer) and the Jordan Brand. NIKE Direct revenues increased 25% driven by strong digital sales growth of 96%, partially offset by comparable store sales contraction of 20% primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

Currency-neutral footwear revenues grew 8%, driven by higher revenues in nearly all key categories, led by the Jordan Brand, Training and Sportswear. Unit sales of footwear increased 9%, while lower ASP per pair reduced footwear revenues by approximately 1 percentage point, primarily due to unfavorable full-price mix.

Currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 18% due to growth in most key categories, led by Football (Soccer) and Sportswear. Unit sales of apparel increased 19%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 1 percentage point. Lower ASP per unit was primarily due to lower NIKE Direct ASP and a lower mix of NIKE Direct sales, as well as lower off-price ASP, which more than offset higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting lower discounts.

Reported EBIT increased 29% as higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expense more than offset a decline in gross margin. Gross margin decreased approximately 200 basis points as lower product costs due to favorable product mix were more than offset by unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates, lower margin in our NIKE Direct business, and a lower mix of full-price sales. Lower margin in our NIKE Direct business was driven by higher promotions to reduce excess inventory due to COVID-19. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense, while operating overhead expense was flat. Lower demand creation expense was driven by lower advertising and marketing expense.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, EMEA revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2021 grew 8%, driven by higher revenues across most territories, led by UK & Ireland and Central Europe, which grew 31% and 17%, respectively. Revenues increased in all key categories, led by Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and Football (Soccer). NIKE Direct revenues increased 26% driven by digital sales growth of 105%, partially offset by a 15% decline in comparable store sales primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

Currency-neutral footwear revenues grew 5%, driven by higher revenues in nearly all key categories, led by the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear increased 1% and higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 4 percentage points of footwear revenue growth resulting from higher full-price ASP.

Currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 15% due to growth in all key categories, led by Football (Soccer) and Sportswear. Unit sales of apparel increased 14% and higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 1 percentage point of apparel revenue growth. Higher ASP per unit was primarily due to higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting lower discounts.

Reported EBIT increased 21% for the first six months of fiscal 2021 as higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expense more than offset a decline in gross margin. Gross margin decreased approximately 290 basis points as lower NIKE Direct margins driven by higher promotions to reduce excess inventory due to COVID-19, unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates and a lower mix of full-price sales, more than offset lower product costs. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation and operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was driven by lower advertising and marketing costs, as well as lower sports marketing expense. Lower operating overhead expense was primarily due to lower travel and related expenses, partially offset by increases in professional services costs.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, Greater China revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 19% due to higher revenues in nearly all key categories, led by Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and NIKE Basketball. NIKE Direct revenues increased 33% due to digital sales growth of 37%, comparable store sales growth of 27% and the addition of new stores.

Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 20% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 driven by higher revenues in most key categories, primarily Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and NIKE Basketball. Unit sales of footwear increased 24%, while lower ASP per pair reduced footwear revenues by approximately 4 percentage points, driven by lower NIKE Direct and full-price ASPs, as well as unfavorable full-price mix.

Currency-neutral apparel revenues grew 16% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to higher revenues in nearly all key categories, led by Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and Training. Unit sales of apparel increased 21%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 5 percentage points as unfavorable full-price mix and lower NIKE Direct ASP, more than offset higher off-price ASP.

Reported EBIT increased 28% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expense more than offset a decline in gross margin. Gross margin decreased approximately 260 basis points reflecting unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates and lower margin in our NIKE Direct business driven by higher promotions to reduce excess inventory, as well as a lower mix of full-price sales. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense, partially offset by higher operating overhead expense. Demand creation expense decreased primarily due to lower advertising and marketing expenses. Growth in operating overhead expense was driven by higher investments within our NIKE Direct operations.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, Greater China revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2021 increased 14%, driven by higher revenues in nearly all key categories, led by Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and NIKE Basketball. NIKE Direct revenues increased 27%, driven by digital sales growth of 34%, comparable store sales growth of 20% and the addition of new stores.

Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 15%, driven by growth in most key categories, led by Sportswear, the Jordan Brand and NIKE Basketball. Unit sales of footwear increased 22%, while lower ASP per pair reduced footwear revenues by approximately 7 percentage points. Lower ASP was driven by lower NIKE Direct ASP and unfavorable full-price mix.

Currency-neutral apparel revenue growth of 11% was fueled by higher revenues in nearly all key categories, most notably Sportswear and the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of apparel increased 15%, while lower ASP per unit reduced apparel revenues by approximately 4 percentage points. Lower ASP was driven by an unfavorable full-price mix and lower NIKE Direct ASP, slightly offset by higher off-price ASP.

Reported EBIT increased 16%, as higher revenues and lower selling and administrative expense more than offset a decline in gross margin. Gross margin decreased approximately 390 basis points primarily due to lower margin in our NIKE Direct business, unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates and higher product costs. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation expense, partially offset by higher operating overhead expense. Demand creation expense decreased primarily due to lower advertising and marketing expenses. Growth in operating overhead expense was driven by higher investments within our NIKE Direct operations.

As discussed previously, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our NIKE Brand businesses in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay and shift to a distributor operating model. The impacts of entering into these agreements are included within Corporate and are not reflected in the APLA operating segment results. For more information see Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures within the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, APLA revenues increased 5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase was due to higher revenues across most territories, led by Korea and SOCO (which comprises Argentina, Chile and Uruguay), which increased 17% and 18%, respectively. Revenues increased due to growth in Sportswear and the Jordan Brand, partially offset by lower revenues in all other key categories. NIKE Direct revenues increased 27%, driven by digital sales growth of 92%, partially offset by comparable store sales contraction of 3% primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

Currency-neutral footwear revenues increased 5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to higher revenues in most key categories, primarily the Jordan Brand and Sportswear, partially offset by Running. Unit sales of footwear decreased 6%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 11 percentage points. Higher ASP per pair was driven by higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory, as well as the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.

Currency-neutral apparel revenues increased 9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to higher revenues in most key categories, primarily Sportswear. Unit sales of apparel increased 8%, and higher ASP per unit contributed approximately 1 percentage point to apparel revenue growth, driven by higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory.

Reported EBIT increased 12% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as lower selling and administrative more than offset a decline in gross margin. Gross margin decreased approximately 40 basis points as higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory, was more than offset by higher product costs, lower margin in our NIKE Direct business and unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates. Lower margin in our NIKE Direct business was driven by higher promotions to reduce excess inventory due to COVID-19. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation and operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing costs, as well as a decline in sports marketing expense. Lower operating overhead expense was primarily due to lower travel and related expenses.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, APLA revenues decreased 3% for the first six months of fiscal 2021. The decline was due to lower revenues across most territories, led by a 61% decline in our Latin America third-party distributor business due to impacts from COVID-19, partially offset by higher revenues in Korea, which increased 12%. Revenues decreased in most key categories, led by Running and Football (Soccer), partially offset by higher revenues in the Jordan Brand and Sportswear. NIKE Direct revenues increased 16%, primarily fueled by digital sales growth of 91%, partially offset by comparable store sales contraction of 16% primarily due to reduced physical retail traffic, in part resulting from safety-related measures in response to COVID-19.

Currency-neutral footwear revenues decreased 3% for the first six months of fiscal 2021 due to lower revenues in most key categories, primarily Running and Football (Soccer), partially offset by growth in the Jordan Brand. Unit sales of footwear decreased 15%, while higher ASP per pair contributed approximately 12 percentage points of footwear revenue growth, driven by higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory, as well as the favorable impact of growth in our NIKE Direct business.

Currency-neutral apparel revenues were flat for the first six months of fiscal 2021, as higher revenues in Sportswear were offset by lower revenues in nearly all other key categories, most notably Running. Unit sales of apparel decreased 3%, offset by higher ASP per unit, which contributed approximately 3 percentage points of apparel revenue growth. Higher ASP per unit was driven by higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory.

Reported EBIT decreased 2% for the first six months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to lower revenues and a decline in gross margin, partially offset by lower selling and administrative expense. Gross margin decreased approximately 70 basis points as higher full-price ASP, in part reflecting inflationary conditions in our SOCO territory, was more than offset by higher product costs, lower margin in our NIKE Direct business, unfavorable standard foreign currency exchange rates and a lower mix of full-price sales. Lower margin in our NIKE Direct business was driven by higher promotions to reduce excess inventory due to COVID-19. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower demand creation and operating overhead expense. The decrease in demand creation expense was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing expense, as well as a decline in sports marketing costs. Lower operating overhead expense was primarily due to lower travel and related expenses.

Global Brand Divisions revenues include NIKE Brand licensing and other miscellaneous revenues that are not part of a geographic operating segment.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

Global Brand Divisions' loss before interest and taxes decreased 4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 driven by lower total selling and administrative expense. Operating overhead expense decreased, primarily due to lower wage-related costs and lower travel and related expenses, partially offset by our continued investment in digital capabilities. Lower demand creation expense was primarily due to lower sports marketing expense, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing costs.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

(1) Other revenues consist of territories serviced by third-party licensees who pay royalties to Converse for the use of its registered trademarks and other intellectual property rights. We do not own the Converse trademarks in Japan and accordingly do not earn revenues in Japan.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, Converse revenues decreased 4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in revenues was driven by declines in wholesale revenues in North America and Europe as a result of supply chain management and strategic distribution shifts, partially offset by growth in Asia. Direct to consumer revenues increased 15%, as strong digital sales growth across all geographies more than offset declines from Converse owned stores, reflecting the ongoing impact of COVID-19. Combined unit sales within the wholesale and direct to consumer channels decreased 11%, while ASP increased 9%, primarily due to growth in digital.

Reported EBIT decreased 3%, driven by declines in gross margin, partially offset by lower selling and administrative expense. Gross margin decreased approximately 230 basis points as higher full-price ASP due to product mix was offset by lower margin in our direct to consumer channel, higher product costs due to product mix, a lower mix of full-price sales, lower revenues in our licensing business and unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates. Lower margin in direct to consumer was driven by higher promotions to reduce excess inventory due to COVID-19. Selling and administrative expense decreased primarily due to lower operating overhead, partially offset by increased demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily due to lower travel and related expenses. Demand creation expense increased primarily as a result of higher advertising costs.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

On a currency-neutral basis, Converse revenues decreased 1% for the first six months of fiscal 2021, driven by lower wholesale revenues in North America, as a result of supply chain management and strategic distribution shifts, partially offset by growth in Asia. Direct to consumer revenues increased 10%, as strong digital sales growth across all geographies more than offset declines from Converse owned stores reflecting the ongoing impact of COVID-19.

Gross margin decreased approximately 220 basis points as higher full-price ASP was more than offset by lower margin in our direct to consumer channel, higher product costs due to product mix, unfavorable changes in standard foreign currency exchange rates and lower revenues in our licensing business. Lower margin in direct to consumer was driven by higher promotions to reduce excess inventory due to COVID-19. Selling and administrative expense decreased due to lower operating overhead and demand creation expense. Operating overhead expense decreased primarily due to lower administrative expenses. Demand creation expense decreased as a result of lower advertising and marketing costs, as well as lower retail brand presentation costs.

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

The Corporate loss before interest and taxes primarily consists 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 exchange 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.

SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020

Corporate's loss before interest and taxes increased $305 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the following:

•an unfavorable change of $276 million in part due to $171 million of restructuring-related costs associated with changes to our organizational model announced in July 2020, as well as a charge related to our planned, strategic distributor partnership transition within APLA;

•an unfavorable change in net foreign currency gains and losses of $53 million related to the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and the impact of certain foreign currency derivative instruments, reported as a component of consolidated Other (income) expense, net; and

•a favorable change of $24 million related to the difference between actual foreign currency exchange rates and standard foreign currency exchange rates assigned to the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, net of hedge gains and losses; these results are reported as a component of consolidated gross margin.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2021 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FISCAL 2020

Corporate's loss before interest and taxes increased $378 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021, primarily due to the following:

•an unfavorable change of $416 million in part due to $218 million of restructuring-related costs associated with changes to our organizational model announced in July 2020, as well as charges related to our planned, strategic distributor partnership transition within APLA;

•a favorable change of $100 million related to the difference between actual foreign currency exchange rates and standard foreign currency exchange rates assigned to the NIKE Brand geographic operating segments and Converse, net of hedge gains and losses; these results are reported as a component of consolidated gross margin; and

•an unfavorable change in net foreign currency gains and losses of $62 million 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. Our hedging policy is designed to partially or entirely offset the impact of exchange rate changes on the underlying net exposures being hedged. Where exposures are hedged, our program has the effect of delaying the impact of exchange rate movements on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; the length of the delay is dependent upon hedge horizons. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of and for the six months ended November 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the Company's hedging program or strategy from what was disclosed within the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Refer to Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements and Note 9 — Risk Management and Derivatives in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional description of outstanding derivatives at each reported period end. For additional information about our Foreign Currency Exposures and Hedging Practices refer to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020.

TRANSACTIONAL EXPOSURES

We conduct business in various currencies and have transactions which subject us to foreign currency risk. Our most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are:

•Product Costs — Product purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting entity and factory input costs from the foreign currency adjustments program with certain factories.

•Non-Functional Currency Denominated External Sales — A portion of our NIKE Brand and Converse revenues associated with European operations are earned in currencies other than the Euro (e.g., the British Pound) but are recognized at a subsidiary that uses the Euro as its functional currency. These sales generate a foreign currency exposure.

•Other Costs — Non-functional currency denominated costs, such as endorsement contracts, also generate foreign currency risk, though to a lesser extent.

•Non-Functional Currency Denominated Monetary Assets and Liabilities — Our global subsidiaries have various assets and liabilities, primarily receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables and payables, denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. These balance sheet items are subject to re-measurement which may create fluctuations in Other (income) expense, net within our consolidated results of operations.

MANAGING TRANSACTIONAL EXPOSURES

Transactional exposures are managed on a portfolio basis within our foreign currency risk management program. We manage these exposures by taking advantage of natural offsets and currency correlations that exist within the portfolio and may also elect to use currency forward and option contracts to hedge the remaining effect of exchange rate fluctuations on probable forecasted future cash flows, including certain product cost exposures, non-functional currency denominated external sales and other costs described above.

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

Table of Contents

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. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated Revenues was a benefit of approximately $184 million and $73 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, respectively, and a detriment of approximately $233 million and $546 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2019, respectively. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our Income before income taxes was a benefit of approximately $63 million and $34 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, respectively, and a detriment of approximately $66 million and $152 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2019, respectively.

Management generally identifies hyper-inflationary markets as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%. Management has concluded our Argentina subsidiary within our APLA operating segment is operating in a hyper-inflationary market. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the functional currency of our Argentina subsidiary changed from the local currency to the U.S. Dollar. As of and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, this change did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition and we do not anticipate it will have a material impact in future periods based on current rates.

MANAGING TRANSLATIONAL EXPOSURES

To minimize the impact of translating foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting, certain foreign subsidiaries use excess cash to purchase U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale investments. The variable future cash flows associated with the purchase and subsequent sale of these U.S. Dollar denominated investments at non-U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiaries creates a foreign currency exposure that qualifies for hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP. We utilize forward contracts and/or options to mitigate the variability of the forecasted future purchases and sales of these U.S. Dollar investments. The combination of the purchase and sale of the U.S. Dollar investment and the hedging instrument has the effect of partially offsetting the year-over-year foreign currency translation impact on net earnings in the period the investments are sold. Hedges of the purchase of U.S. Dollar denominated available-for-sale investments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

We estimate the combination of translation of foreign currency-denominated profits from our international businesses and the year-over-year change in foreign currency related gains and losses included in Other (income) expense, net had a favorable impact of approximately $10 million and an unfavorable impact of approximately $28 million on our Income before income taxes for the three months and six months ended November 30, 2020, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH FLOW ACTIVITY

Cash provided (used) by operations was an inflow of $3,355 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021, compared to $1,306 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020. Net income, adjusted for non-cash items, generated $3,283 million of operating cash inflow for the first six months of fiscal 2021, compared to $2,906 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020. The net change in working capital and other assets and liabilities resulted in an increase to Cash provided (used) by operations of $72 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to a decrease of $1,600 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020. This favorable impact on Cash provided (used) by operations was primarily the result of a $1,929 million decrease in Inventories driven by our intentional supply and demand management, as well as strong digital sales growth.

Cash provided (used) by investing activities was an outflow of $2,877 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021, compared to $788 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, driven by the net change in short-term investments. For the first six months of fiscal 2021, the net change in short-term investments (including sales, maturities and purchases) resulted in a cash outflow of $2,789 million compared to $157 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020.

Cash provided (used) by financing activities was an outflow of $292 million for the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to $1,868 million for the first six months of fiscal 2020, with the decrease from the prior period driven by our election to temporarily suspend share repurchases, resulting in no share repurchases for the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to $1,921 million in the first six months of fiscal 2020.

Table of Contents

As of November 30, 2020, we had repurchased 45.2 million shares at a cost of approximately $4.0 billion (an average price of $89.00 per share) under the four-year, $15 billion share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in June 2018. To enhance our liquidity position in response to COVID-19, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we elected to temporarily suspend share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program. As such, there were no share repurchases made during the quarter ended November 30, 2020. The existing program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and we may resume share repurchases in the future at any time, depending upon market conditions, our capital needs and other factors. We continue to expect funding of share repurchases will come from operating cash flows, excess cash and/or proceeds from debt.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

On July 23, 2019, we filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which permits us to issue an unlimited amount of debt securities from time to time. The Shelf expires on July 23, 2022.

Our committed credit facilities remain unchanged from the information previously reported on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020. As of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under our committed credit facilities. We currently have long-term debt ratings of AA- and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively. Any changes to these ratings could result in interest rate and facility fee changes. As of November 30, 2020, we were in full compliance of the covenants under our committed credit facilities and believe it is unlikely we will fail to meet any of the covenants in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity is also provided by our $4 billion commercial paper program. During the three months ended November 30, 2020, the maximum amount of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at any point was $112 million. As of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the Company had $23 million and $248 million of borrowings outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 1.76% and 1.65%, respectively. We may continue to issue commercial paper or other debt securities 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 2021, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the credit markets; however, future volatility in the capital markets may increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets.

As of November 30, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $11.8 billion, primarily consisting of commercial paper, corporate notes, deposits held at major banks, money market funds, U.S. government sponsored enterprise obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and other investment grade fixed-income securities. Our fixed-income investments are exposed to both credit and interest rate risk. All of our investments are investment grade to minimize our credit risk. While individual securities have varying durations, as of November 30, 2020, the weighted-average days to maturity of our cash equivalents and short-term investments portfolio was 33 days.

We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated by operations, together with access to external sources of funds as described above, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and foreign capital needs in the foreseeable future.

We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to manage our worldwide cash and deploy funds to locations where they are needed. We indefinitely reinvest a significant portion of our foreign earnings, and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these earnings. Should we require additional capital in the United States, we may determine to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the United States through debt. Given our existing structure, if we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings, we would be required to accrue and pay withholding taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of November 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There have been no material changes in recently issued or adopted accounting standards from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

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, 2020.

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 November 30, 2020.

We are continuing several transformation initiatives to centralize and simplify our business processes and systems. These are long-term initiatives, which we believe will enhance our internal control over financial reporting due to increased automation and further integration of related processes. We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting for effectiveness throughout these transformation initiatives.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In June 2018, the Board of Directors approved a four-year, $15 billion share repurchase program. As of November 30, 2020, the Company had repurchased 45.2 million shares at an average price of $89.00 per share for a total approximate cost of $4.0 billion under this program. To enhance our liquidity position in response to COVID-19, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we elected to temporarily suspend share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program. As such, there were no share repurchases made during the quarter ended November 30, 2020. The existing program remains authorized by the Board of Directors and we may resume share repurchases in the future at any time, depending upon market conditions, our capital needs and other factors.
