In context
“ocated to other countries around the world. Second, we are partnering with our suppliers and our retail partners to mitigate this structural cost increase in order to minimize the overall impact to the consumer. These partner arrangements will come into effect at different times throughout fiscal '26. Third, as part of our regular approach to seasonal planning, we have implemented a surgical price increase in the United States with phased implementation beginning in fall '25. And last, we will evaluate corporate cost reduction as appropriate. However, our highest priority right now continues to be reigniting brand momentum through sport and stabilizing our business. With the new tariff rates in place today, we estimate a gross incremental cost increase to NIKE of approximately $1 billion. We intend to fully mitigate the impact of these headwinds over time as we implement and annualize the actions I've outlined. For fiscal '26, we expect this financial impact, net of the actions described earlier to be approximately 75 basis points to gross margin, with a greater impact in the first half. We will continue to monitor developments closely, and I am confident in our ability to lean on our strengths, our experience and our scale to navigate through this disruption. Looking forward, we intend to continue to provide specific quarterly guidance during this period of transition. Today, I will also share some additional insights for how we expect our Win Now actions to shape elements of our financial performance throughout fiscal '26. Momentum is building in our new product franchises. And with the holiday order book in hand, we are beginning to see more clearly around the corner of our product portfolio”
