Second Quarter Results

The Company reported consolidated net income for the second quarter ended July 29, 2017 of $112.4 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, compared to the Company's expectations provided on May 16, 2017 of $0.98 to 1.03 per diluted share. For the second quarter ended July 30, 2016, the Company reported consolidated net income of $91.4 million, or $0.82 per diluted share.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the second quarter ended July 29, 2017 of $104.8 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to the Company's expectations provided on May 16, 2017 of $1.02 to 1.07 per diluted share. Second quarter 2017 non-GAAP results exclude a previously announced corporate restructuring charge and income related to a contract termination payment. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are included in a table later in the release under the heading "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Net sales for the second quarter of 2017 increased 9.6% to approximately $2.2 billion. Consolidated same store sales increased 0.1%, compared to the Company's guidance of an approximate 2 to 3% increase. Second quarter 2016 consolidated same store sales increased 2.8%.

"In this very competitive and dynamic marketplace, we were able to deliver a significant increase in our bottom line from last year. We continued to capture market share and generated strong results in eCommerce, footwear and golf, although sales were pressured by weakness in hunting, licensed and athletic apparel," said Edward W. Stack, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "By design, we will be more promotional and increase our marketing efforts for the remainder of the year, as we will aggressively protect our market share. We have updated our outlook to reflect these investments. We continue to believe retail disruption creates opportunities for us as we look long-term."

Omni-channel Development

eCommerce sales for the second quarter of 2017 increased approximately 19%. eCommerce penetration for the second quarter of 2017 was 9.2% of total net sales, compared to 8.5% during the second quarter of 2016.

In the second quarter, the Company opened 13 new DICK'S Sporting Goods stores. The Company also closed one specialty concept store. As of July 29, 2017, the Company operated 704 DICK'S Sporting Goods stores in 47 states, with approximately 37.4 million square feet, 98 Golf Galaxy stores in 32 states, with approximately 2.1 million square feet, and 29 Field & Stream stores in 14 states, with approximately 1.4 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 2017 with approximately $132 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $187 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 $275 million to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends.

Total inventory increased 11.8% at the end of the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the end of the second quarter of 2016.

The Company also amended and extended its revolving credit facility as it increased its limit from $1 billion to $1.25 billion and extended the maturity to August 2022 under substantially the same terms.

Year-to-Date Results

The Company reported consolidated net income for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017 of $170.6 million, or $1.55 per diluted share. For the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016, the Company reported consolidated net income of $148.3 million, or $1.32 per diluted share.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2017 of $165.1 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, excluding a corporate restructuring charge, conversion costs for former Sports Authority ("TSA") stores and income related to a contract termination payment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include consolidated non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, and measuring its operating performance. 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.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally accepted accounting principles measure of performance or liquidity.
