Question: Piral Dadhania - RBC Capital Markets Inc - Analyst
: Okay, thank you very much for taking my question. Apologies if there's any background noise. I was just wondering if you could give
any update as to how September has progressed because we're seeing indicators out there in the marketplace and potentially some
evidence that there was a bit of pull forward in terms of consumer demand into the back-to-school period in August, which should
have benefited your Q1. So just curious about how you're seeing the current marketplace in September trading, if possible? Thank
you very much.
Question: Matthew Boss - JPMorgan Chase & Co - Analyst
: Thanks, and congrats on the progress. Elliot, maybe could you help elaborate on some of the early wins under your belt that you
cited notably the return to growth in North America and the material acceleration in running -- and with that, I guess, could you
speak to the structural foundation that you've now built that you believe is the key to expanding the strategy to other parts of the
portfolio?
Question: Brooke Roach - Goldman Sachs Group Inc - Analyst
: Good afternoon and thank you for taking the question. Elliott, as you contemplate the traffic headwinds you're seeing today in NIKE
Digital, how much of the pressure is attributable to the strategic reduction in promotion versus other factors? And as you look ahead,
what are the most important milestones we should be watching for to return that business to profitable growth?
Question: Lorraine Hutchinson - Bofa Merrill Lynch Asset Holdings Inc - Analyst
: Thank you. Good afternoon. I wanted to see if you could focus on China for a minute. Can you talk about the strategies that you're
using to turn the digital business? And then also the cost and time line of the store refresh.
Question: John Kernan - Cowen and Company LLC - Analyst
: Thank you. Good afternoon, and congrats on the momentum with the turnaround. Hey, Matt, inventory down 2% on the balance
sheet, which I think would imply units down even further, how would you characterize the inventory in the wholesale channel and
the timing of when wholesale discounts, which I think have been a pretty sizable headwind on gross margin? When will they begin
to fade?
