whose sales have been rising
in North America.
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.

— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
NEW YORK (AP) —
Nike reported its first quar-
terly loss in 20 years, due to a
$2 billion tax expense related
to recent changes in U.S. tax
law. 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,

State high court
hands union sponsors
procedural win
SALEM — The Oregon Supreme
Court partially sided with the
sponsors of a union transparency
initiative, after they appealed the title
given to their proposal by the state
Attorney General’s office.
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.
