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, 2021, 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 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The extent to which the evolving COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company's financial statements depends on a number of factors, including the magnitude and duration of the pandemic. There have been and may continue to be developments outside of the Company's control, including new COVID-19 variants, that require the Company to make adjustments to its operating plan, such as store operating hours and the timeline to return to normal production volumes in factories impacted by COVID-19. Such developments and other potential impacts of COVID-19, such as new or prolonged factory closures, higher inventory levels or inventory shortages in various markets, other adverse impacts on the global supply chain, revised payment terms with certain of its wholesale customers, higher sales-related reserves, factory cancellation costs and a volatile effective tax rate driven by changes in the mix of earnings across its jurisdictions, among other factors, could have material adverse impacts on the Company's revenue growth as well as its overall profitability in future periods. As a result of these circumstances, COVID-19 related disruptions are making it more challenging to compare the Company's performance, including its revenue growth and overall profitability, across quarters and fiscal years, and the Company expects the operating environment will remain volatile as COVID-19 variants continue to cause disruption to operations.
