PITTSBURGH, August 16, 2016 - DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS), the largest U.S. based full-line omni-channel sporting goods retailer, today reported sales and earnings results for the second quarter ended July 30, 2016.

Second Quarter Results

The Company reported consolidated net income for the second quarter ended July 30, 2016 of $91.4 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared to the Company's expectations provided on May 19, 2016 of $0.62 to 0.72 per diluted share. For the second quarter ended August 1, 2015, the Company reported consolidated net income of $90.8 million, or $0.77 per diluted share.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2016 increased 7.9% to approximately $2.0 billion. Consolidated same store sales increased 2.8%, compared to the Company's guidance of negative 4.0% to negative 1.0%. Same store sales for DICK'S Sporting Goods increased 3.0%, while Golf Galaxy decreased 4.3%. Second quarter 2015 consolidated same store sales increased 1.2%.
 
"We are pleased with our second quarter results, particularly in light of the liquidation activity in the market," said Edward W. Stack, Chairman and CEO. "Looking ahead, we are focused on capturing the displaced market share and remain confident in our ability to strengthen our leadership position."

Omni-channel Development

eCommerce penetration for the second quarter of 2016 was 8.5% of total net sales, compared to 7.3% during the second quarter of 2015.

In the second quarter, the Company opened five new DICK'S Sporting Goods stores. The Company also relocated two DICK'S Sporting Goods stores. Additionally, the Company closed three DICK'S Sporting Goods stores and one Golf Galaxy store. As of July 30, 2016, the Company operated 649 DICK'S Sporting Goods stores in 47 states, with approximately 34.6 million square feet, 72 Golf Galaxy stores in 29 states, with approximately 1.3 million square feet, and 21 Field & Stream stores in ten states, with approximately 1.1 million square feet.

Store count, square footage and new stores are listed in a table later in the release under the heading "Store Count and Square Footage."






Balance Sheet
 
The Company ended the second quarter of 2016 with approximately $112 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $152 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Over the course of the last 12 months, the Company continued to invest in omni-channel growth, while returning over $380 million to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends.

Total inventory increased 6.2% at the end of the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the end of the second quarter of 2015. This increase includes the impact of cold-weather merchandise from fiscal 2015 being held for the 2016 winter season.

Year-to-Date Results

The Company reported consolidated net income for the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 of $148.3 million, or $1.32 per diluted share. For the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2015, the Company reported consolidated net income of $154.2 million, or $1.30 per diluted share.

Net sales for the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 increased 7.1% from last year's period to approximately $3.6 billion, reflecting the growth of our store network and a 1.7% increase in consolidated same store sales.

Capital Allocation

On August 11, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.15125 per share on the Company's Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The dividend is payable in cash on September 30, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2016.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $42.60 per share, for a total cost of $57 million. During the current fiscal year, the Company has repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $44.47 per share, for a total cost of $107 million.

Current 2016 Outlook
 
The Company's current outlook for 2016 is based on current expectations and includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as described later in this release. Although the Company believes that the expectations and other comments reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations or comments will prove to be correct. 

v
Full Year 2016 

Based on an estimated 111 to 112 million diluted shares outstanding, the Company currently anticipates reporting consolidated earnings per diluted share in the range of $2.90 to 3.05, excluding costs the Company expects to incur to convert former The Sports Authority ("TSA") stores to DICK'S Sporting Goods stores. These costs will be known once the Company determines which TSA store leases it will retain or reject. The Company's consolidated earnings per diluted share guidance includes the expectation of approximately $100 to 200 million of share repurchases in 2016. The Company reported consolidated earnings per diluted share of $2.83 for the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2016. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated earnings per diluted share of $2.87, excluding a litigation settlement charge, for the 52 weeks ended January 30, 2016.

Consolidated same store sales are currently expected to increase approximately 2 to 3%, compared to a 0.2% decrease in fiscal 2015.






The Company expects to open approximately 36 new DICK'S Sporting Goods stores and relocate approximately nine DICK'S Sporting Goods stores in 2016. The Company also expects to open approximately nine new Field & Stream stores and two new Golf Galaxy stores in 2016, largely adjacent to new or relocated DICK'S Sporting Goods stores.

v
Third Quarter 2016

These costs will be known once the Company determines which TSA store leases it will retain or reject. This is compared to consolidated earnings per diluted share of $0.41 in the third quarter of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated earnings per diluted share of $0.45, excluding a litigation settlement charge, for the 13 weeks ended October 31, 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company believes that certain non-GAAP financial information provides users of the Company's financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance between reporting periods. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below and on the Company's website at investors.DICKS.com.

EBITDA
 
EBITDA is a key metric that provides a measurement of profitability that eliminates the effect of changes resulting from financing decisions, tax regulations and capital investments. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally accepted accounting principles measure of performance or liquidity and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
