Nike's 'Pace' Restructuring Delays Layoff Notices, Deepening Financial Uncertainty

Nike CEO Elliott Hill announced that job cuts under the new 'Pace' operating model will begin in 2027, but the company has not yet identified specific roles or locations. This delayed notification strategy, similar to recent moves by Meta and GitLab, aims to provide employees with time to seek new employment while potentially reducing severance costs.

Nike shares dropped 10% on Friday after the company reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $11.2 billion, down 4% year-over-year. The decline was driven by weakness in Greater China, partially offset by growth in North America. CEO Elliott Hill confirmed the 'Pace' restructuring plan, which aims to save $2.5 billion by 2031 through layoffs starting in 2027, supply chain modernization, and a shift to three geographic regions.
