Inventory and Cash Flow
Management Academy generated $97 million and $388 million
in GAAP operating cash flow and $34 million and $252 million in
adjusted free cash flow1 during the third quarter and year to date
in fiscal 2024, respectively, which is an increase of 126% and 67%
versus the third quarter and year to date in fiscal 2023,
respectively.
“Inventories remain well managed, with units per
store down 7% and dollars per store down 4%, and we have a
thoughtful promotional cadence planned to help drive traffic
through the Holiday season. We plan to support these promotions
with increased marketing investment to highlight Academy’s
compelling assortment and market leading value proposition. We are
positioned to deliver strong operating cash flow for the full year,
which we are continuing to reinvest into the business through our
strategic initiatives while also returning capital directly to
shareholders,” said Carl Ford, Chief Financial Officer.
Shareholder ReturnsDuring the
quarter, Academy repurchased approximately one million shares of
its outstanding common stock at a weighted average purchase price
of $51.19 per common share for a total cost of $53 million. To
date, Academy has repurchased 5.4 million shares of its outstanding
common stock under its previous share repurchase programs for
approximately $300 million, inclusive of $27 million of share
repurchases in November 2024.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on
December 4, 2024, Academy's Board of Directors declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.11 per share of its outstanding common stock.
The dividend is payable on January 15, 2025, to stockholders of
record as of the close of business on December 18, 2024.
New $700 Million Share-Repurchase
ProgramIn conjunction with its approval of the dividend,
Academy’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase
program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $700 million of
its outstanding common stock.
The new share repurchase program replaces the
preceding share repurchase program, of which $423 million remained
as of the end of the third quarter, and is effective as of December
4, 2024, for a period of three years. Accordingly, as of today, the
Company has $700 million of capacity available under the new share
repurchase program.
Mr. Lawrence added, “Our new share repurchase
program reflects our strong sustainable cash flow generation,
continuing confidence in our business model and growth strategy,
and continued commitment to driving value for our shareholders. We
view returning capital directly to shareholders through repurchases
and our dividend as integral to our capital allocation strategy,
along with ongoing investments in the business.”
New Store OpeningsAcademy
opened eight new stores during the third quarter and another five
new stores early in the fourth quarter, bringing the Company's
total store count to 298. To date in fiscal 2024, the Company has
opened a total of 16 new stores, equating to approximately 6%
annual unit growth, in line with its stated plans for the year.
The Company plans to open 20 to 25 stores in
2025, representing approximately 7.5% annual unit growth at the
midpoint. The Company will continue to be measured in its approach
and timing given the recent consumer backdrop.
2024 Outlook"We are looking
forward to a strong fourth quarter and holiday season, as our team
continues to focus on execution and serving our customers,” said
Mr. Ford. “Based on our third quarter performance and expectations
for the remainder of fiscal 2024, we are narrowing our full year
sales and earnings guidance.”
Academy is updating its previous guidance for fiscal 20242 as

The earnings per common share guidance reflects
a tax rate of approximately 23% and includes the impact from the
$27 million of share repurchases in November 2024.
Notes:
(1) |
|
Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share (EPS),
diluted, and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. See
"Non-GAAP Measures" and "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures. |
(2) |
|
Fiscal 2023 included 53 weeks
compared to 52 weeks in fiscal 2024, so the Company is using a
shifted comparable sales calculation which compares weeks 27-39 in
fiscal 2024 to weeks 28-40 in fiscal 2023. |
(3) |
|
We have not reconciled guidance
for adjusted free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure
because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts
given the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling
items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of
management's control and could be significant; therefore, we are
unable to provide an estimate of the most closely comparable GAAP
measure at this time. |

About Academy Sports +
OutdoorsAcademy is a leading full-line sporting goods and
outdoor recreation retailer in the United States. Originally
founded in 1938 as a family business in Texas, Academy has grown to
298 stores across 19 states as of the date of this press release.
Academy’s mission is to provide “Fun for All” and Academy fulfills
this mission with a localized merchandising strategy and value
proposition that strongly connects with a broad range of consumers.

Non-GAAP MeasuresAdjusted
EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per
common share, and adjusted free cash flow have been presented in
this press release as supplemental measures of financial
performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance
with, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The
Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures
is useful to investors as it provides additional information on
comparisons between periods by excluding certain items that affect
overall comparability. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial
measures for business planning purposes, to consider underlying
trends of its business, and in measuring its performance relative
to others in the market, and believes presenting these measures
also provides information to investors and others for understanding
and evaluating trends in the Company’s operating results or
measuring performance in the same manner as the Company’s
management. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in
addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported
results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of these
non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures
reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures. For additional information on these
non-GAAP financial measures, please see our Annual Report for the
fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (the "Annual Report"), and our
most recent Quarterly Report, which may be updated from time to
time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), which are accessible on the SEC's website
at www.sec.gov.
See “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial
measures used in this press release to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.
Forward Looking StatementsThis
press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These forward-looking statements are based on Academy’s current
expectations and are not guarantees of future performance.
Forward-looking statements may incorporate words such as “believe,”
“expect,” “forward,” “ahead,” “opportunities,” “plans,”
“priorities,” “goals,” “future,” “short/long term,” “will,”
“should,” or the negative version of these words or other
comparable words. The forward-looking statements include, among
other things, statements regarding the Company’s fiscal 2024
outlook, the Company’s strategic plans and financial objectives,
including the implementation of such plans, the growth of the
Company’s business and operations, including the opening of new
stores and the expansion into new markets, the rollout of new
warehouse management and other systems, the Company’s payment of
dividends and declaration of future dividends, including the timing
and amount thereof, share repurchases by the Company, the Company's
expectations regarding its future performance and future financial
condition, to support future dividend and share repurchase program
growth, and other such matters, and are subject to various risks,
uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are
difficult to predict or quantify. Actual results may differ
materially from these expectations due to changes in global,
regional, or local economic, business, competitive, market,
regulatory, environmental, and other factors that could affect
overall consumer spending or our industry, including the possible
effects of ongoing macroeconomic challenges, inflation and
increases in interest rates, trade policy changes or additional
tariffs, or changes to the financial health of our customers, many
of which are beyond Academy's control. These and other important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements are set forth in Academy's
filings with the SEC, including the Annual Report and the Quarterly
Report, under the caption "Risk Factors," as may be updated from
time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. Any
forward-looking statement in this press release speaks only as of
the date of this release. Academy undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future developments or otherwise,
except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
