DICK’S Sporting Goods Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

“Our 2022 results provide a strong foundation upon which we will build in 2023 and well into the future. In 2023, we will grow both our sales and earnings through positive comps, a return to square footage growth and higher merchandise margin. Our consistent performance and financial strength position us to increase the rate of investment in our business to fuel long-term growth opportunities, and also return significant capital to shareholders. The step-change increase in our dividend clearly reflects our strong conviction in our structurally higher sales and earnings.”

“Our fourth quarter was a strong ending to another strong year. We achieved record quarterly sales and our comps grew 5.3% as we continued to gain market share. As planned, we continued to address targeted inventory overages, and as a result our inventory is in great shape as we start 2023. We couldn’t be more excited about our spring assortment.”

Column may not recalculate due to rounding.

^2. 

Beginning in fiscal 2022, the Company revised its method for calculating comparable store sales by including relocated store locations. Prior year fiscal 2021 information was revised to reflect this change for comparability purposes. See additional details as furnished in Exhibit 99.2 of the Company’s Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2022. Comparable store sales information prior to fiscal 2021 has not been revised to reflect this change in methodology.

^3. 

Also referred to by management as earnings before income taxes margin (“EBT margin”).

^4. 

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company decided to exit the Field & Stream brand. As a result, the Company closed 12 of the remaining 17 stores for conversion into eight DICK’S House of Sport stores and four expanded DICK’S Sporting Goods stores during the fourth quarter of 2022 and incurred pre-tax charges totaling $30.1 million. For additional information see New Accounting Pronouncement later in the release and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations included in a table under the heading “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”

^5. 

For additional information, see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations included in a table later in the release under the heading “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”

^6.

Fiscal 2022 and 2021 includes debt with a carrying value of $1,482 million and $1,481 million, respectively, from the Company’s issuance of the Senior Notes during the fourth quarter of 2021. Fiscal 2022 and 2021 includes debt with a carrying value of $58 million and $449 million, respectively, from the Company’s issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes during fiscal 2020. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility in 2022 and 2021.

^7.

During fiscal 2022 the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $85.84 per share, for a total cost of $427 million under its share repurchase program. The Company has $1.4 billion remaining under its authorization as of January 28, 2023. The Company also paid $31.7 million during fiscal 2022 for shares repurchased during 2021.

^8.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, the Company declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.4875 and $0.4375 per share, respectively, on the Company’s Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. In fiscal 2021, the Company also declared and paid a special dividend in the amount of $5.50 per share on the Company’s Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

^9.

During fiscal 2022 the Company exchanged $516 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes and unwound the corresponding portion of the convertible bond hedge and warrants for $516 million of cash and 9.8 million shares of our common stock. On February 9, 2023, the Company provided irrevocable notice to the noteholders of our Convertible Senior Notes of our election to redeem the remaining $59 million aggregate principal in shares. The Company intends to offset share dilution from this settlement through share repurchases using excess cash, free cash flow or borrowings on our Credit Facility. See additional details as furnished in Exhibit 99.1 of the Company’s Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2023.

Adjustment eliminates the impact of assumed share settlement of the Convertible Senior Notes as required by the if-converted method. During the 13 weeks ended January 28, 2023, the Company settled $95.3 million of its Convertible Senior Notes without dilutive effect, as the related principal was settled in cash and due to the shares received from its convertible bond hedge. The Company does not expect the shares underlying the remaining $59.1 million will have a dilutive effect upon conversion and believes reflecting the notes as debt more closely represents the economics of the transaction upon future conversion.

⁽²⁾

Field & Stream exit charges of $30.1 million included $28.5 million of non-cash impairments of store assets, $0.8 million of severance and a $0.7 million inventory write-down related to our closure of 12 Field & Stream stores in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

⁽³⁾

The provision for income taxes for non-GAAP adjustments was calculated at 26% which approximates the Company’s blended tax rate.
