On:

Shares of NIKE, Inc. (NKE) are down more than 11% Friday morning after reporting lower profit in the first quarter.

Net income in the first quarter declined to $1.468 billion or $0.93 per share from $1.874 billion or $1.16 per share in the same quarter a year ago, impacted by increase in expenses. Nevertheless, earnings beat the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson-Reuters of $0.92 per share.

The company said its gross margin decreased 220 basis points to 44.3 percent, primarily driven by higher freight and logistics costs.
