of sport on the world's
community of athletes in neighborhoods and communities everywhere.
As the global athletic market leader, our scale and breadth provide the opportunity to create impact on a
level that only Nike can. We start with innovation that pushes human potential forward and combine that with
storytelling that connects with the consumer. Today, consumers all over the world continue to recognize Nike
as their #1 brand for athletes and sport.

1% on a currency neutral basis and earnings per share grew 15%. However, we underperformed our
expectations for the past three quarters and lowered our outlook. This does not meet what we expect
of ourselves, and we are working tirelessly to make the necessary adjustments.

innovations from this past year ranged from breakthrough innovation for runners with the AlphyFly 3 to
basketball innovation with the GT Cut and Sabrina 1, a shoe that continues to resonate across gender.
In FY24, we also launched a new lifestyle platform in Dynamic Air and updated our biggest performance
