DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” unless specified otherwise) is a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories through a blend of dedicated teammates, in-store services and unique specialty shop-in-shops. In addition to DICK’S Sporting Goods stores, the Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy, Public Lands, Moosejaw and Going Going Gone! specialty concept stores, and offers its products both online and through its mobile apps. The Company also owns and operates DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for scheduling, communications, live scorekeeping and video streaming. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise specifies, any reference to “year” is to the Company’s fiscal year.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information.

The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2023. Operating results for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024 or any other period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

Supplier Finance Programs

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, “Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose the key terms of the programs along with information about obligations outstanding, including a roll-forward of those obligations. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

The Company has entered into supply chain financing arrangements with third-party financial institutions, whereby suppliers have the opportunity to settle outstanding payment obligations early at a discount. The Company does not have an economic interest in suppliers’ voluntary participation and the Company does not provide any guarantees or pledge assets under these arrangements. The Company settles invoices with the third-party financial institutions in accordance with the original supplier payment terms. The Company’s rights and obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by these arrangements. Liabilities associated with the funded participation in these arrangements, which are presented within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $38.1 million, $40.1 million, and $86.1 million as of July 29, 2023, January 28, 2023, and July 30, 2022, respectively.

2. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares, which include stock-based awards, such as restricted stock and stock options, and shares the Company could have been obligated to issue from its convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Senior Notes”) and warrants prior to their retirement in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.


Table of Contents

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Dilutive potential common shares for the Company’s stock-based awards and warrants are determined using the treasury stock method, while the dilutive effect of the Convertible Senior Notes on the Company’s diluted earnings per common share was calculated using the “if-converted method.” Dilutive potential common shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock-based awards excluded from diluted shares	312		542		222		278

The dilutive effect of the Convertible Senior Notes included shares that were designed to be offset at settlement by shares delivered from the bond hedge purchased by the Company. The shares provided by the bond hedge were anti-dilutive; accordingly, they were not treated as a reduction to diluted weighted average shares outstanding until received at settlement.

In addition, the dilutive effect of the Convertible Senior Notes included shares related to the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes. Although the Company was required to assume that the Convertible Senior Notes would be settled in shares of its common stock in accordance with the “if-converted method” under U.S. GAAP, the Company settled the Convertible Senior Notes without dilutive effect, due to cash payments for principal, shares received from the convertible bond hedge and share repurchases to offset the share settlement of the remaining $59.1 million of principal during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Refer to Note 5 – Convertible Senior Notes for further information.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Recurring

The Company measures its deferred compensation plan assets held in trust at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. Such assets consist of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plans. As of July 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s deferred compensation plans was $148.0 million, $133.5 million and $135.5 million, respectively, as determined by quoted prices in active markets.

The Company discloses the fair value of its senior notes due 2032 and 2052 and Convertible Senior Notes using Level 2 inputs, which are based on quoted prices for similar or identical instruments in inactive markets, as follows (in thousands):


	July 29, 2023				January 28, 2023				July 30, 2022
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Senior notes due 2032	$	742,795	$	609,518	$	742,428	$	613,403	$	742,067	$	615,495
Senior notes due 2052	$	739,999	$	509,813	$	739,908	$	525,120	$	739,819	$	518,640
Convertible Senior Notes (1)	$	—	$	—	$	58,271	$	232,488	$	368,478	$	1,087,575

(1) The Company’s Convertible Senior Notes were fully retired on April 18, 2023.

Due to their short-term nature, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximated their carrying values at July 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022.

Nonrecurring

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis may include property and equipment, operating lease assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity and other assets. These assets are required to be assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, and at least annually, for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In the event that an impairment is required, the asset is adjusted to fair value using Level 3 inputs.

4. Leases

The Company leases substantially all of its stores, three of its distribution centers, and certain equipment and storage under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2039. The Company’s stores generally have initial lease terms of 10 to 15 years and contain multiple five-year renewal options and rent escalation provisions. The lease agreements are primarily for the payment of minimum annual rentals, costs of utilities, property taxes, maintenance, common areas and insurance.

Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):


	26 Weeks Ended
	July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities	$	388,606	$	332,406
Non-cash operating lease assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities	$	426,237	$	254,664

5. Convertible Senior Notes

On April 18, 2023, the Company retired the remaining $59.1 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its Convertible Senior Notes, substantially all of which was settled in shares of its common stock. The Company paid all accrued and unpaid interest as of April 18, 2023, and concurrently terminated the remaining proportionate amount of the bond hedge and warrant transactions. In connection with the retirement of the Convertible Senior Notes and termination of the bond hedge and the warrant transactions, the Company issued 1.7 million shares of its Company’s common stock and recorded $58.5 million to additional paid-in-capital. Accordingly, the Company no longer has outstanding Convertible Senior Notes.

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

During the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2022, the Company recognized $10.8 million and $21.9 million of interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes, or $8.0 million and $16.2 million, net of tax, respectively. Interest expense included $6.6 million and $12.3 million of pre-tax inducement charges related to the exchange transactions during fiscal 2022, of which $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, was attributed to non-cash amortization of issuance fees during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2022.

Following retirement of the Convertible Senior Notes in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company did not incur any related interest expense during the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023. During the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023, the Company recognized $0.5 million of interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes.

6. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 was 25.0% and 16.1%, respectively, as compared to 25.5% and 23.7% for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current year-to-date period was favorably impacted by a $48.0 million increase in excess tax benefits, resulting from a higher number of employee equity awards vesting and exercised in the current period at a higher share price than the prior year period.

7. Subsequent Events

On August 21, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $1.00 per share on the Company's common stock and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable on September 29, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2023.

On August 22, 2023, the Company announced a business optimization of its organization to better align its talent, organizational design and spending in support of its most critical strategies while also streamlining its overall cost structure. In connection with this business optimization, which is expected to be completed during fiscal 2023, the Company eliminated certain positions primarily at its customer support center on August 21, 2023 for which it expects to incur approximately $20 million of severance expense in the third quarter of 2023. Cash payments related to this expense are expected to be made over the next twelve months.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories. In addition to DICK’S Sporting Goods stores, we own and operate Golf Galaxy, Public Lands, Moosejaw and Going Going Gone! specialty concept stores, and offer our products both online and through our mobile apps. We also own and operate DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for scheduling, communications, live scorekeeping and video streaming. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or specifies, any reference to “year” is to our fiscal year.

Since 2017, we have transformed our business to drive sustainable growth in sales and profitability. During this time, we meaningfully improved our merchandise assortment through strong relationships with our key brand partners, which provided access to highly differentiated product and our vertical brands. We also enhanced our store selling culture and service model and incorporated additional experiential elements and technology into our stores to engage our athletes. Finally, we invested in technology and data science to improve our pricing strategy, digital marketing and personalization capabilities. Consumers have also made what we believe to be lasting lifestyle changes in recent years, prioritizing sport and maintaining healthy, active lifestyles, which has increased demand for our products. As a result of our core strategies, foundational improvements and these strong secular consumer trends, net sales increased 41.3% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2019, and reflected growth in our key priority categories including footwear, athletic apparel, team sports and golf.

Our profitability is primarily influenced by growth in comparable store sales, the strength of our merchandise margins and ability to manage operating expenses. In addition to the structurally higher sales compared to pre-COVID levels, our merchandise margins increased over 300 basis points as a percentage of net sales in fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2019, as we have maintained the majority of the merchandise expansion that we drove over the prior two years with our differentiated product assortment, combined with our disciplined pricing strategy and favorable sales mix. We have also experienced meaningful leverage on fixed occupancy costs and selling, general and administrative costs, due to the significant sales increase. With our structurally higher sales, expanded merchandise margins, and operating expense leverage, our pre-tax income as a percentage of net sales grew from 4.7% in fiscal 2019 to 11.2% in fiscal 2022 and our earnings per diluted share grew from $3.34 in fiscal 2019 to $10.78 in fiscal 2022.

Business Environment

The macroeconomic environment in which we operate remains uncertain as a result of numerous factors, including inflationary pressures, the expiration of student loan payment deferments, and the potential impact of rising interest rates, which could impact consumer discretionary spending behavior and the promotional landscape in which we operate. In addition, disruption of supply chains, including factory closures and port congestion, resulted in apparel overages in fiscal 2022 from late arriving inventory and elevated container and transportation costs which began to moderate during the second half of fiscal 2022. We took actions during the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to address these targeted inventory overages.

Overview of current trends affecting 2023

•We have experienced higher markdowns compared to the prior year, following our decisive actions on excess product to maintain vibrant and well-positioned inventory. For the remainder of the year, we expect our merchandise margin to improve compared to its respective prior year period, which included our actions during the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to address apparel overages from late arriving inventory.

•Within merchandise margin, we are experiencing higher inventory shrink relative to historical levels, which has been noted throughout the retail industry. As a percentage of net sales, we expect inventory shrink to be approximately 50 basis points higher than fiscal 2022 on a full year basis.

•We also expect supply chain costs to remain lower than fiscal 2022 for the remainder of the fiscal year.

•For the remainder of the year, we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to be over 200 basis points higher than fiscal 2022 as a percentage of net sales due to investment in our growth strategies.

The Company’s current expectations described above are forward-looking statements. Please see the “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q for information regarding important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those currently projected and/or otherwise materially affect the Company.

Business Optimization

We are conducting a business optimization of our organization to better align our talent, organizational design and spending in support of our most critical strategies while also streamlining our overall cost structure. As part of our business optimization, we eliminated certain positions primarily at our customer support center on August 21, 2023 for which we expect to incur approximately $20 million of severance expense in the third quarter of 2023. Related cost savings are expected to be largely offset by strategic talent investments over the next twelve months.

While we have not committed to specific additional actions at this time, we currently expect the business optimization to be completed during fiscal 2023, and may result in additional one-time charges of $25 million to $50 million.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Senior management focuses on certain key indicators to monitor our performance, including:

▪Comparable store sales performance – Our management considers comparable store sales, which includes online sales, to be an important indicator of our current performance. Comparable store sales results are important to leverage our costs, which include occupancy costs, store payroll and other store expenses. Comparable store sales also have a direct impact on our total net sales, net income, cash and working capital. A store is included in the comparable store sales calculation during the fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations. Relocated stores are included in the comparable store sales calculation from the open date of the original location. Stores that were permanently closed during the applicable period have been excluded from comparable store sales results. For further discussion of our comparable store sales, refer to the “Results of Operations and Other Selected Data” section herein.

▪Earnings before taxes and the related operating margin – Our management views operating margin and earnings before taxes as key indicators of our performance. The key drivers of earnings before taxes are comparable store sales, gross profit, and our ability to control selling, general and administrative expenses.

▪Cash flows from operating activities – Cash flow generation supports our general liquidity needs and funds capital expenditures for our omni-channel platform, which include investments in new and existing stores and our eCommerce channel, distribution and administrative facilities, continuous improvements to information technology tools, potential strategic acquisitions or investments that may arise from time-to-time and stockholder return initiatives, including cash dividends and share repurchases. We typically experience lower operating cash flows in our third fiscal quarter due to increased inventory purchases in advance of the holiday selling season and anticipated higher cash flows during our fourth fiscal quarter. For further discussion of our cash flows, refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section herein.

▪Quality of merchandise offerings – To measure effectiveness of our merchandise offerings, we monitor sell-throughs, inventory turns, gross margins and markdown rates at the department and style level. This analysis helps us manage inventory levels to reduce working capital requirements and deliver optimal gross margins by improving merchandise flow and establishing appropriate price points to minimize markdowns.

▪Store productivity – To assess store-level performance, we monitor various indicators, including new store productivity, sales per square foot, store operating contribution margin and store cash flow.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As discussed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report, we consider our policies on inventory valuation, goodwill and intangible assets, and impairment of long-lived assets to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OTHER SELECTED DATA

Executive Summary

▪Net sales increased 3.6% to $3.22 billion in the current quarter from $3.11 billion during the second quarter of 2022, which included an increase in comparable store sales of 1.8% following a 5.1% decrease in the same period last year.

▪In the current quarter, we reported net income of $244.3 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, compared to $318.5 million, or $3.25 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2022.

▪Earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of 2022 excluded $8.0 million of interest expense, net of tax, and included 13.9 million diluted shares related to the convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”), which together decreased earnings per diluted share by $0.43 in the prior year quarter. Although we were required to assume that our Convertible Senior Notes would be settled in shares of our common stock in accordance with the “if-converted method” under generally accepted accounting principles, we have fully settled our Convertible Senior Notes without dilutive effect, due to cash payments for principal, shares received from our convertible bond hedge and share repurchases to offset the share settlement of the remaining $59.1 million principal during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

▪During the second quarter of 2023, we:

▪Repurchased 1.6 million shares of common stock for a total cost of $202.7 million under our share repurchase program;

▪Declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $1.00 per share of our common stock and Class B common stock;

▪Opened seven new DICK'S House of Sport locations.

▪The following table summarizes store activity for the periods indicated:

Table of Contents

(A) Column does not add due to rounding.

(1)Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales, including vendor-direct sales arrangements, is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Revenue from gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively the “cards”) is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. The cards have no expiration date.

(2)Cost of goods sold includes: the cost of merchandise (inclusive of vendor allowances, inventory shrinkage and inventory write-downs for the lower of cost or net realizable value); freight; distribution; shipping; and store occupancy costs. We define merchandise margin as net sales less the cost of merchandise sold. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation and certain insurance expenses.

(3)Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, operating costs associated with our internal eCommerce platform, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating our customer support center.

(4)Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll, recruiting and other store preparation costs are expensed as incurred. Rent is recognized within pre-opening expense from the date we take possession of a site through the date the store opens.

(5)Excludes temporary Warehouse Sale store locations.

(6)Includes square footage from three Field & Stream store closures as we plan in the near-term to convert them into DICK’S House of Sport stores, expanded DICK’S Sporting Goods stores, or other specialty concept stores.

13 Weeks Ended July 29, 2023 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended July 30, 2022

Net Sales

Net sales increased 3.6% to $3,223.6 million in the current quarter from $3,112.4 million in the quarter ended July 30, 2022, due primarily to a $54.7 million, or 1.8%, increase in comparable store sales. The remaining $56.5 million increase in net sales was primarily attributable to temporary Warehouse Sale and Moosejaw stores. The increase in comparable store sales included a 2.8% increase in transactions, offset by a 1.0% decrease in sales per transaction, and was driven by growth in footwear and team sports. Sales in fitness and outdoor equipment continued to decline post-pandemic, although these categories continue to remain above fiscal 2019 levels. Additionally, we experienced declines in apparel while continuing to gain market share and strength across key brands.

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased to $311.8 million in the current quarter compared to $460.2 million for the quarter ended July 30, 2022.

Gross profit decreased to $1,109.5 million in the current quarter from $1,121.4 million for the quarter ended July 30, 2022 and decreased as a percentage of net sales by 161 basis points. As a result of higher markdowns from our decisive actions on excess product to maintain vibrant and well-positioned inventory and an 84 basis point increase in inventory shrink due to increased theft, merchandise margins decreased 254 basis points. Merchandise margin declines were partially offset by a 115 basis point decrease in supply chain costs, which included elevated supply chain related costs in the prior year due to global disruptions following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our occupancy costs increased $11.2 million and deleveraged five basis points as a percentage of net sales. Occupancy costs, which after the cost of merchandise represents the largest item within our cost of goods sold, are generally fixed on a per store basis and fluctuate based on the number of stores that we operate. The remaining decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by an increase in eCommerce shipping expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $775.6 million in the current quarter from $657.4 million during the second quarter of 2022, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 294 basis points. The $118.2 million increase was primarily due to $51.5 million of investments in hourly wage rates, talent and technology to support our growth strategies, a $25.6 million increase in marketing expense due to higher brand-building marketing and marketing to support DICK’S House of Sport store grand openings, and a $20.9 million expense increase compared to fiscal 2022 related to changes in the investment values of our deferred compensation plans, which is fully offset in Other Income.

Pre-opening expenses increased to $22.1 million in the current quarter from $3.8 million for the quarter ended July 30, 2022. Pre-opening expenses in any period fluctuate depending on the timing and number of new store openings and relocations. The

current year period includes pre-opening expenses to support seven DICK’S House of Sport store conversions. Pre-opening expenses are expected to moderate during the back half of fiscal 2023 while remaining higher than fiscal 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $14.4 million in the current quarter from $25.5 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by lower interest expense on the Convertible Senior Notes due to their retirement during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The second quarter of fiscal 2022 also included a $6.6 million inducement charge related to the exchange of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes.

Other (Income) Expense

Other income totaled $28.5 million in the current quarter compared to expense of $7.4 million in the prior year quarter. This $35.9 million increase in income was primarily driven by a $14.9 million increase in interest income as a result of higher average interest rates on cash and cash equivalents during the current quarter and a $20.9 million expense reduction from changes in our deferred compensation plan investment values driven by performance in equity markets. The Company recognizes investment income or investment expense to reflect changes in deferred compensation plan investment values with an offsetting charge or reduction to selling, general and administrative costs for the same amount.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate decreased to 25.0% in the current quarter from 25.5% in the quarter ended July 30, 2022.

26 Weeks Ended July 29, 2023 Compared to the 26 Weeks Ended July 30, 2022

Net Sales

Net sales were $6,065.8 million in the current period, a 4.4% increase from net sales of $5,812.6 million reported for the prior year period, due primarily to a $145.3 million, or 2.6%, increase in comparable store sales. The remaining $107.9 million increase in net sales was primarily attributable to temporary Warehouse Sale and Moosejaw stores. The increase in comparable store sales included a 2.9% increase in transactions offset by a 0.3% decrease in sales per transaction, and reflects growth in footwear and team sports, offset by declines in fitness and outdoor equipment.

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased to $637.4 million in the current period, compared to $826.7 million in the prior year period.

Gross profit increased to $2,138.1 million for the current period from $2,106.1 million for the prior year period and decreased as a percentage of net sales by 98 basis points. As a result of higher markdowns from our decisive actions on excess product and a 57 basis point increase in inventory shrink due to increased theft, merchandise margins decreased 198 basis points. Merchandise margin declines were partially offset by a 112 basis point decrease in supply chain costs. The remaining decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by an increase in eCommerce shipping expense. Our occupancy costs increased $23.1 million and were flat compared to fiscal 2022 as a percentage of net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1,469.5 million in the current period from $1,272.7 million for the prior year period, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 234 basis points. The $196.8 million increase was driven by $106.2 million of investments in hourly wage rates, talent and technology to support our growth strategies, a $27.2 million increase in marketing expenses due to higher brand-building marketing and marketing to support DICK’S House of Sport store grand openings, and a $31.0 million expense increase compared to fiscal 2022 related to changes in the investment values of our deferred compensation plans, which is fully offset in Other Income.

Pre-opening expenses increased to $31.2 million in the current period from $6.7 million in the prior year period. Pre-opening expenses in any period fluctuate depending on the timing and number of new store openings and relocations. The current year period includes pre-opening expenses to support seven DICK’S House of Sport store conversions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $29.4 million in the current period from $51.1 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by lower interest expense on the Convertible Senior Notes due to their retirement during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The prior year period also included $12.3 million of inducement charges related to the exchange of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes.

Other (Income) Expense

Other income totaled $46.2 million in the current period compared to other expense of $16.4 million for the period ended July 30, 2022. This $62.6 million increase in income was primarily driven by a $31.5 million increase in interest income as a result of higher average interest rates on cash and cash equivalents during the current period and $31.0 million expense reduction from changes in our deferred compensation plan investment values driven by performance in equity markets. The Company recognizes investment income or investment expense to reflect changes in deferred compensation plan investment values with an offsetting charge or reduction to selling, general and administrative costs for the same amount.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate decreased to 16.1% for the current period from 23.7% for the same period last year. The current year effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a $48.0 million increase in excess tax benefits, resulting from a higher number of employee equity awards vesting and exercised in the current year at a higher share price than the prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash on hand as of July 29, 2023 was $1.90 billion. We believe that we have sufficient cash flows from operations and cash on hand to operate our business for at least the next twelve months, supplemented by funds available under our unsecured $1.6 billion credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), if necessary. We may require additional funding should we pursue strategic acquisitions, undertake share repurchases, pursue other investments or engage in store expansion rates in excess of historical levels. We had no revolving credit facility borrowings during the current or prior year-to-date period.

The following sections describe the potential short and long-term impacts to our liquidity and capital requirements.

Leases

We lease substantially all of our stores, three of our distribution centers, and certain equipment and storage under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2039. Approximately three-quarters of our DICK’S Sporting Goods stores will be up for lease renewal at our option over the next five years, and we plan to leverage the significant flexibility within our existing real estate portfolio to capitalize on future real estate opportunities.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $1.6 billion Credit Facility, which includes a maximum amount of $75 million to be issued in the form of letters of credit. Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at an alternate base rate or an adjusted secured overnight financing rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage. As of July 29, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, and we have total remaining borrowing capacity, after adjusting for $16.1 million of standby letters of credit, of $1.58 billion. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility agreement at July 29, 2023.

Senior Notes

As of July 29, 2023, we have $750 million principal amount of 2032 Notes and $750 million of 2052 Notes outstanding. Cash interest accrues at a rate of 3.15% per year on the 2032 Notes and 4.10% per year on the 2052 Notes, each of which are payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15.

As of July 29, 2023, our Senior Notes have long-term credit ratings by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies of Baa3 and BBB, respectively.

Convertible Senior Notes

Following our exchanges during fiscal 2022, we had an aggregate remaining principal amount of $59.1 million of Convertible Senior Notes outstanding as of January 28, 2023. During the first quarter of 2023, we retired the remaining principal and accrued interest. Refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 5 – Convertible Senior Notes for further information.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are primarily allocated toward the development of our omni-channel platform, including investments in new and existing stores and eCommerce technology, while we have also invested in our supply chain and corporate technology capabilities. Capital expenditures for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 totaled $248.6 million on a gross basis and $217.6 million on a net basis, which includes tenant allowances provided by landlords.


Table of Contents

We anticipate that fiscal 2023 capital expenditures will be in a range of $550 to $600 million, net of tenant allowances provided by landlords. We expect our capital expenditures to be concentrated on new store development, relocations and remodels, including nine DICK’S House of Sport stores and eleven Golf Galaxy Performance Centers, improvements within our existing stores, including converting approximately 100 stores to premium full-service footwear decks, and continued investments in technology to enhance our store fulfillment, in-store pickup and other foundational capabilities.

Share Repurchases

From time-to-time, we may opportunistically repurchase shares of our common stock under our $2.0 billion share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on December 16, 2021. During the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023, we repurchased 2.0 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $260.4 million, a portion of which was repurchased to offset the dilution from our settlement of the remaining $59.1 million principal outstanding of the Convertible Senior Notes in shares. As of July 29, 2023, the available amount remaining under the December 2021 share repurchase authorization was $1.2 billion.

Any future share repurchase programs are subject to authorization by our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

Dividends

During the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023, we paid $189.1 million of dividends to our stockholders. On August 21, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $1.00 per share of common stock and Class B common stock, payable on September 29, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2023.

The declaration of future dividends and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates and payment dates for any such future dividends are subject to authorization by our Board of Directors and are dependent upon multiple factors including future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other considerations.

Supply Chain Financing

We have entered into supply chain financing arrangements with third-party financial institutions, whereby suppliers have the opportunity to settle outstanding payment obligations early at a discount. We do not have an economic interest in suppliers’ voluntary participation and we do not provide any guarantees or pledge assets under these arrangements. Supplier invoices are settled with the third-party financial institutions in accordance with the original supplier payment terms and our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by these arrangements. Liabilities associated with the funded participation in these arrangements, which are presented within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $38.1 million, $40.1 million and $86.1 million as of July 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.

Cash Flows

Changes in cash and cash equivalents are as follows:


	26 Weeks Ended
(in thousands)	July 29, 2023		July 30, 2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	693,493	$	101,744
Net cash used in investing activities	(268,779)		(171,012)
Net cash used in financing activities	(447,172)		(678,413)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(25)		(3)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(22,483)	$	(747,684)

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $591.7 million for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to working capital changes resulting from last year’s inventory replenishment following supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, year-over-year changes in incentive compensation accruals and corresponding payments, and the timing of payments for deferred compensation plans, rent and income taxes. These increases were partially offset by lower earnings.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities increased $97.8 million for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 compared to the same period last year. Gross capital expenditures for fiscal 2023 includes investments in current and future DICK’S House of Sport stores and higher investments in store enhancements and facilities. Cash used in investing activities for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 also includes our acquisition of Moosejaw, a digitally-focused leading outdoor retailer, offset by proceeds received from the sale of our Field & Stream trademark and other intellectual property.

Financing Activities

Financing activities have historically consisted of capital return initiatives, including share repurchases and cash dividend payments, cash flows generated from stock option exercises and cash activity associated with our Credit Facility, or other financing sources. Cash used in financing activities decreased $231.2 million for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the exchange of $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes in the prior year period. Additionally, the current year includes higher cash payments for minimum tax withholding requirements as a result of the vesting of employee equity awards and higher dividends paid compared to the prior year period, which were offset by lower share repurchases and changes in the bank overdraft balances between periods.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the Company's market risk exposures from those reported in the Company's 2022 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

During the quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, July 29, 2023.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any control system, including the potential for human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Additionally, judgments in decision making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. An effective control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the system are adequately met. Accordingly, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our control system can prevent or detect all errors or fraud. Finally, projections of any evaluation or assessment of effectiveness of a control system to future periods are subject to the risks that, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in an entity’s operating environment or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various proceedings that are incidental to the normal course of its business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company does not expect that any of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as identified below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors affecting the Company from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report. The discussion of risk factors sets forth the material risks that could affect the Company’s financial condition and operations.

If we are unable to protect against inventory shrink, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on our ability to effectively manage our inventory. We have historically experienced loss of inventory (also referred to as inventory shrinkage) due to damage, theft (including from organized retail crime), and other causes. We are experiencing elevated levels of inventory shrink relative to historical levels, which have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, sustained high rates of inventory shrink at certain stores could impact the profitability of those stores and result in the impairment of long-term assets.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The following table sets forth repurchases of our common stock during the second quarter of 2023:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (a)	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (b)	Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (b)
April 30, 2023 to May 27, 2023	1,066,917	$	129.30	1,056,402	$	1,234,045,124
May 28, 2023 to July 1, 2023	513,561	129.26		513,434	$	1,167,681,532
July 2, 2023 to July 29, 2023	5,423	128.80		—	$	1,167,681,532
Total	1,585,901	$	129.28	1,569,836
