Highlight of Business Operations:

In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, our revenues from continuing operations increased 7% to $6.0 billion. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, revenues from continuing operations would have grown 10%. We delivered net income from continuing operations of $521 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.57, 9% and 12% above the second quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively.

Excluding the effects of changes in currency exchange rates, NIKE Brand footwear and apparel revenues each increased 10% for the second quarter, while NIKE Brand equipment revenues increased 27%. For the first six months of fiscal 2013, NIKE Brand footwear and apparel revenues increased 13% and 12%, respectively, while NIKE Brand equipment revenues increased 22%. The increase in footwear revenue for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013 was attributable to growth across our Running, Basketball, and Sportswear categories, primarily reflective of increased demand for our performance products, most notably those utilizing NIKE Free and Lunar technologies. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, unit sales increased approximately 6% and average selling price per pair increased approximately 4%. For the first half of fiscal 2013, unit sales increased approximately 8% and the average selling price per pair increased approximately 5%. The growth in average selling price per pair for the second quarter and year to date period primarily reflected the impact of product price increases.

While wholesale revenues remain the largest component of overall NIKE Brand revenues, we continue to expand Direct to Consumer revenues through a growing network of NIKE owned in-line and factory stores, as well as online sales through NIKE owned websites. For both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, Direct to Consumer revenues represented approximately 18% of our total NIKE Brand revenues, compared to 15% and 16% for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012, respectively. Excluding changes in currency exchange rates, Direct to Consumer revenues increased 27% and 25% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2013, respectively, as comparable store sales increased 16% and 15% over the same respective periods. Comparable store sales include revenues from NIKE owned in-line and factory stores for which all three of the following requirements have been met: the store has been open at least one year, square footage has not changed by more than 15% within the past year, and the store has not been permanently repositioned within the past year.

On a currency neutral basis, revenues for Western Europe increased 4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 6% for the first half of the year, despite poor economic conditions impacting our Southern European businesses. Most territories reported revenue growth for the quarter and year to date periods, which more than offset revenue declines of 9% and 14% in Italy and 23% and 11% in Iberia, respectively. Revenues for the United Kingdom & Ireland, the largest market in Western Europe, increased 5% for the second quarter and 8% for the first half of fiscal 2013. Western Europes Direct to Consumer revenues on a constant currency basis increased 26% for the second quarter and 22% for the first half of fiscal 2013, primarily driven by an increase in comparable store sales. On a category basis, Western Europe revenue growth for the second quarter and year to date period was driven largely by growth in our Running, Football (Soccer), and Basketball categories.

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 OCI within shareholders equity. In the translation of our consolidated statements of income, a weaker U.S. Dollar in relation to foreign functional currencies benefits our consolidated earnings whereas a stronger U.S. Dollar reduces our consolidated earnings. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated revenues and income before income taxes was a net translation benefit (detriment) of approximately $(165) million and $(28) million, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and approximately $98 million and $23 million, respectively, for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of our consolidated revenues and income before income taxes was a net translation benefit (detriment) of approximately $(488) million and $(93) million, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2012 and approximately $416 million and $86 million, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2011.
