DICK's Sporting Goods Reports Third Quarter Results

"Our strong third quarter results demonstrate the significant momentum we have in our business. We continue to make strategic investments such as our House of Sport and DICK'S Field House concepts, where we are redefining sports retail and creating strong engagement with our athletes, brand partners and communities, that will fuel our long-term growth. Sport continues to have a strong influence on culture, and culture on sport, and our House of Sport concept is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of athletes as they look for the best of performance as well as the lifestyle of sport."

Ed Stack, Executive Chairman

"We are very proud of our Q3 results and our performance year-to-date. Our third quarter comp sales grew 4.2%, driven by a continued focus on our strategic pillars and great execution from our team. We had an excellent back-to-school season and continued to gain market share. As a result of our strong performance in the quarter and the continued confidence we have in our business, we are again raising our full year outlook. We believe our differentiated product, quality service and powerful omni-channel experience will resonate well with our athletes this holiday season."

Lauren Hobart, President and Chief Executive Officer

2.

Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023, there is a one-week shift in the fiscal 2024 calendar compared to the prior year, which unfavorably impacted net sales comparisons for the third quarter by approximately $105 million, or approximately $0.35 per diluted share, and favorably impacted the year-to-date period by approximately $35 million, or approximately $0.10 per diluted share. Comparable sales for fiscal 2024 are calculated by shifting the prior year period by one week to compare similar calendar weeks.

3.

Beginning in fiscal 2024, we revised our method for calculating comparable sales to include GameChanger revenue. Prior year information has been revised to reflect this change for comparability purposes. See additional details as furnished in Exhibit 99.2 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024.

4.

Also referred to by management as earnings before income taxes ("EBT").

5.

In the fiscal 2024 period, there were no non-GAAP adjustments to reported EBT margin, net income or earnings per diluted share. The fiscal 2023 period reflects non-GAAP adjustments for charges from the Company's business optimization, which was completed in 2023 to better align its talent, organization design and spending in support of its most critical strategies. For additional information, see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations included in tables later in the release under the heading "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

6.

The Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility in 2024 and 2023.

7.

During the 39 weeks ended November
2, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $203.98 per share, for a total cost of $170.3 million. The Company has $609.3 million remaining under its authorization as of November
2, 2024.

8.

The Company declared and paid quarterly dividends of $1.10 per share in fiscal 2024 and $1.00 per share in fiscal 2023.
