What was the primary reason for the significant drop in net income?

The primary reason for the significant drop in net income was a $401.3 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge recorded for the goodwill, intangible, and other assets of the Umbro brand. This charge significantly impacted the company's profitability for the quarter.

How did the company's performance look when excluding the impairment charge?

Excluding the impairment charges related to Umbro, NIKE's net income would have increased by 4% and diluted earnings per share by 8% compared to the prior year's third quarter. This suggests that the underlying business operations remained relatively strong despite the challenging economic environment.

What is the outlook for future orders, and what factors are influencing it?

Worldwide futures and advance orders for NIKE Brand footwear and apparel, scheduled for delivery from March through July 2009, were 10% lower than the comparable period in the prior year. This decline was influenced by unfavorable currency exchange rates (contributing approximately 8 percentage points to the decline) and decreased unit sales volume, particularly in apparel in the U.S. and EMEA regions, and footwear in the EMEA region.

What restructuring actions is NIKE taking?

NIKE announced a plan to restructure its organization to streamline management and eliminate redundancies. This plan includes reducing its global workforce by up to 4% and is expected to result in gross restructuring charges between $175 million and $225 million, primarily related to severance costs. The company expects to incur most of these charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
