Nike (NKE) Announces Cost Savings Initiative, Sees $400M-$450M Charge

Nike (NYSE: NKE) is identifying opportunities to deliver up to $2 billion in cumulative cost savings over the next three years. Areas of potential savings include simplifying our product assortment, increasing automation and use of technology, streamlining our organization, and leveraging our scale to drive greater efficiency.**

A majority of these savings will be invested to fuel future growth, accelerate innovation at speed and scale, and drive greater long-term profitability.**

As part of this commitment, the Company is taking steps to streamline the organization, which is expected to result in pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $400 million to $450 million that will largely be recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, primarily associated with employee severance costs. Revised guidance will be provided on the conference call.**

“We see an outstanding opportunity to drive long-term profitable growth,” said Donahoe. “Today we are embracing a company-wide journey to invest in our areas of greatest potential, increase the pace of our innovation, and accelerate our agility and responsiveness.”**
