"Today's results mark another terrific quarter for Nike, Inc.,"
said  William D. Perez, Nike, Inc. President and Chief Executive
Officer.  "This was our sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit
revenue and earnings  per share growth. These consistently strong
results were driven by excellent  performance across geographies and
brands, coupled with favorable trends in  foreign exchange rates. In
addition to another strong quarter for our U.S.  business, emerging
international markets such as China, Russia and Brazil  produced
significant growth. While the core Nike Brand fueled the majority of
our growth, Nike Golf, Converse and Cole Haan were also major
contributors to  our positive results."(i)
Futures Orders
The Company reported worldwide futures orders for athletic
footwear and  apparel, scheduled for delivery from March 2005 through
July 2005, totaling  US$5.2 billion, 9.6 percent higher than such
orders reported for the same  period last year. Approximately one
point of this growth was due to changes  in currency exchange
rates.(i)
By region, futures orders for the U.S. were up nine percent;
Europe  increased seven percent; Asia Pacific grew 14 percent; and
the Americas  increased 22 percent. In Europe, two points of the
increase were due to  currency exchange rates. Currency exchange
rates contributed to the growth in  Asia Pacific and the Americas by
approximately two points and one point,  respectively.(i)
Perez continued, "Global consumer demand for Nike brand footwear
and  apparel continues to be strong, as evidenced by the growth in
futures orders.  Demand in the U.S. market remains particularly
robust, as Nike product  innovation continues to drive the trend
toward performance footwear and  apparel in this market."(i)
