NIKE expects about $300 million in pre-tax charges, mainly employee severance costs
NIKE said its management approved a plan on February 27, 2026 for organizational changes that, together with earlier actions, are expected to bring pre-tax charges of about $300 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2026. Most of the charges, mostly for employee severance, are expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, and the company may take further actions that lead to more charges. The filing says actual charges may differ, possibly materially, from these estimates.
