Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.

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.

Income Taxes
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.
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.

Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to 798 million previously unissued shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with equity awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of non-statutory stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. 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:

(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,
20202019
Dividend yield0.9 %1.0 %
Expected volatility27.3 %23.0 %
Weighted average expected life (in years)6.06.0
Risk-free interest rate0.4 %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.

Risk Management and Derivatives
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.
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, no 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Operating Segments
NOTE 12 — OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company's operating segments are evidence of the structure of the Company's internal organization. The NIKE Brand segments are defined by geographic regions for operations participating in NIKE Brand sales activity.
Each NIKE Brand geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and selling of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment. The Company's reportable operating segments for the NIKE Brand are: North America; Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA); Greater China; and Asia Pacific & Latin America (APLA), and include results for the NIKE and Jordan brands.
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.

Acquisitions And Divestitures
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.
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.

Restructuring
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:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
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.
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.
Hedging Derivatives CASH FLOW HEDGESAll 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.
Undesignated Derivative Instruments UNDESIGNATED DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTSThe 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.
Embedded Derivatives EMBEDDED DERIVATIVESEmbedded 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.
