To try and boost sales, it signed a deal with online retailer Amazon last year, sold sneakers through social media app Snapchat, and has been launching its own apps as a way to sell more shoes. Still, North America sales fell 6 percent in the quarter, the company said Thursday. It saw higher demand for its swoosh-branded goods outside the U.S., especially in China, where sales soared 24 percent. Overall, the company’s revenue rose nearly 7 percent to $8.98 billion, topping Wall Street expectations. It reported a loss of $921 million, or 57 cents per share, for the three months that ended Feb. 28, which the company said was due to the $2 billion tax expense. The last time it posted a quarterly loss was in 1998, according to financial data firm FactSet. Earnings, adjusted for pretax expenses, were 68 cents per share. That beat the 52 cents per share Wall Street analysts expected, according to Zacks Invest- ment Research. Shares of Nike Inc., which closed at $64.42 on Thursday, jumped 6 percent in extended trading Thursday.

But the sneaker compa- ny’s third-quarter results easily beat expectations and its shares jumped in after- hours trading. It also addressed recently announced departures by high-level executives. CEO Mark Parker acknowledged that there were problems with the company’s culture, but didn’t provide any details. “We became aware of some behavioral issues that are inconsistent with Nike’s values of inclusively, respect, and empowerment,” Parker said during a conference call Thursday with Wall Street analysts. “I’m committed to ensure that we have an envi- ronment where every Nike employee can have a positive experience.” Nike said last week that Trevor Edwards, its brand president who had been seen as a possible future CEO, was leaving the company in August. The Beaverton, Oregon-based company didn’t say why. The Wall Street Journal reported that his resignation was announced to Nike employees in an internal memo that said the company had received complaints about inappropriate work- place behavior. A day later, it said a vice president had left the company, but didn’t give a reason. The leadership shakeup comes at a time Nike is trying to boost sales in North America, its biggest market. Nike is facing increasing competition in the region, especially from German sneaker company Adidas, Astoria Baker City Bend Brookings Burns Enterprise Eugene Heppner Hermiston John Day Klamath Falls La Grande Meacham Medford Newport North Bend Ontario Pasco Pendleton Portland Redmond Salem Spokane Ukiah Vancouver Walla Walla Yakima (in mph) Coastal Oregon: Chilly today with rain; breezy.

In a Thursday ruling the court ordered the attorney general to broaden the summary and title of the proposal, Initiative Petition 33, to include mention of new requirements it would place on the attorney general’s office. The outcome amounted to a minor victory for sponsors of the measure, not affecting the legality or status of the proposed initiative, but marking a procedural advance for one of a pair of measures from the same sponsors that would affect unions in the state. Ballot titles are intended to provide a concise, neutral description of a measure. They’re regarded as crucial information for voters who haven’t done homework on an issue, and the language is frequently challenged in court. Initiative Petition 33 would require public unions to disclose information about how much money they collect from members and how they spend it, and would require the information to be posted online. Initiative Petition 34, a proposal from the same sponsors, would move Oregon toward becoming a right-to-work state, according to reports. The order sends the measure back to state Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum for modification. Tugboat, barge hit boat on Columbia River PORTLAND — Officials say a tugboat and barge hit a smaller vessel on the Columbia River, tossing the smaller boat’s occupants into the water. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports no injuries were reported in the Wednesday morning collision. U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Petty Officer Amanda Norcross says the incident happened near downriver of Longview, Washington, near Willow Gove Park. Norcross says the tugboat and barge reportedly hit the 20-foot pleasure craft and caused the smaller vessel to capsize. She says there was zero visibility at the time because of thick fog. Norcross says someone picked up the two people who had been fishing from the boat and took them to shore. Coast Guard investigators from Portland are looking into what happened and whether any enforcement action needs to be taken, she said. 2 hurt in explosion at HP campus in Corvallis CORVALLIS — Authorities say two people were injured in an explosion at the HP Inc. campus in Corvallis. The Gazette-Times reports that firefighters responded at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday to reports of an explosion on the high-tech campus. Corvallis Fire Department spokesman Jim Patton says a hydrogen generator exploded inside a laboratory. He did not know what caused the generator to explode. Patton says the damage was contained to the room where the explosion occurred. He says there was no fire and no toxic or unsafe materials were released. Patton says paramedics took two people to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. No information was immediately available on their identities or the extent of their injuries. Former U.S. attorney suspended 90 days for lying about affair PORTLAND — Former U.S. attorney for Oregon Amanda Marshall has been barred from practicing law for 90 days because she lied about a sexual relationship with a subordinate. Marshall resigned in May 2015 after it was revealed that she had an extramarital affair with an assistant prosecutor and stalked him when the relationship ended. She is now in private practice in McMinnville. The Oregon State Bar later opened an investigation, and the Oregon Supreme Court on Thursday finalized the settlement between Marshall and the professional standards agency. Marshall acknowledged she was dishonest when initially telling a federal official she didn’t have an affair with the subordinate. Marshall’s attorney, Allison Martin Rhodes, tells The Oregonian/ OregonLive: “We are pleased to finally have this chapter behind us.” Oregon woman arrested for cooking dog in oven ASTORIA — An Oregon woman has been charged with animal abuse after police say she killed a Chihuahua by cooking it in an oven. The Daily Astorian reports a person close to 28-year-old Warrenton woman reported the incident Tuesday, and police arrested her at Columbia Memorial Hospital. A police report says the woman has been involved in several recent disturbances that led to interactions with mental health professionals. Police say the 7-year-old dog was alive when it was put in the oven Monday night. — Associated Press FREE Admission!
