Revenue grew 4% year-over-year (up 10% on a currency-neutral basis) to $12.7 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $12.29 billion.

NIKE Direct sales grew 8% year-over-year (up 14% on a currency-neutral basis) to $5.1 billion. NIKE Brand Digital sales grew 16% year-over-year (up 23% on a currency-neutral basis) led by double-digit growth in EMEA, North America and APLA, partially offset by declines in Greater China.

"Our strong start to FY23 highlights the depth and breadth of NIKE’s global portfolio, as we continue to manage through volatility,” said John Donahoe, President and CEO of NIKE.
