Summary

NIKE, Inc. (NKE) reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2010, ending February 28, 2010. The company demonstrated significant year-over-year growth in net income and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter.

Gross margin also saw a notable improvement, expanding by 300 basis points to 46.9% due to better product margins and reduced discounting. Despite a slight increase in selling and administrative expenses, largely due to higher demand creation spending and investments in owned retail, the company's profitability surged.

The company also reported a 9% increase in worldwide futures and advance orders for the upcoming season, signaling continued demand.
