BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2010 third quarter ended February 28, 2010. Third quarter revenues increased 7 percent, from $4.4 billion last year to $4.7 billion in the current year.

Third quarter net income was $496 million or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $244 million or $0.50 per diluted share in the same period last year. Results from last year included a $241 million, after-tax non-cash charge related to the impairment of goodwill, intangible and other assets of the Company's Umbro subsidiary. Excluding this charge, net income and diluted earnings per share both would have increased 2 percent.
"We had a great quarter," said Mark Parker, NIKE, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer. "Today's results reinforce our belief that when we connect with consumers in deep and meaningful ways from product concepts to how they experience our brands, we win in the marketplace and drive sustainable, profitable growth."

The Company reported worldwide futures orders for NIKE Brand athletic footwear and apparel, scheduled for delivery from March through July 2010, totaling $7.1 billion, 9 percent higher than orders reported for the same period last year.

Income Statement Review
In the third quarter of fiscal 2010 gross margins were 46.9 percent compared to 43.9 percent for the same period last year. Gross margins for the quarter were higher than the prior year primarily due to improved in-line product margins, less discounted close-out sales and favorable changes in product mix.
Third quarter selling and administrative expenses grew 16 percent to $1.6 billion. Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter were higher than the same period last year mainly due to the timing of demand creation spending, investments in Company owned retail and higher costs for performance-based compensation.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter was 25.0 percent compared to a negative 3.6 percent for the same period last year. Excluding the tax effect of the charge for the impairment of Umbro assets, the effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 would have been 23.9 percent.
Balance Sheet Review
At the end of the third quarter, global inventories stood at $2.2 billion, down 13 percent from February 28, 2009. Cash and short-term investments at February 28, 2010 were $4.0 billion, $1.4 billion or 55 percent higher than last year.
