Summary

  • $300 million in cash reached Nike in the fiscal fourth quarter ended May 31 from claims tied to tariffs imposed under the IEEPA.
  • Nike said the rest of the benefit was recorded as accounts receivable while it waits for reimbursement, showing only part of the tariff recovery has been paid in cash.
  • The disclosure adds detail to Nike's earlier report of a $986 million tariff refund that helped lift fourth-quarter earnings and gross margin.
  • That refund had offset weaker operating trends, including a 12% drop in China sales, underscoring how much the quarter's beat depended on tariff-related relief.
