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 toDICK'S Sporting Goods stores, we own and operate Golf Galaxy,Field & Stream , Public Lands and Going Going Gone! specialty concept stores and sell our products both online and through our mobile apps. We also own and operateDICK'S House of Sport andGolf Galaxy Performance Center , as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for video streaming, scorekeeping, scheduling and communications. 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. 14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Our profitability is primarily influenced by growth in comparable store sales, the strength of gross margins derived from our omni-channel platform and our ability to manage expenses. As part of our ongoing real estate strategy, over the past few years we have reduced the rate at which we open new stores, and as ofApril 30, 2022 , we operated 729DICK'S Sporting Goods stores and 129 other specialty concept stores acrossthe United States . Our recent real estate strategy allows us to leverage the flexibility within our existing real estate portfolio by capitalizing on favorable opportunities as leases come up for renewal. In 2022, we expect our real estate strategy will continue to also include growth in new retail concepts and experiential stores. Our eCommerce platform allows for continued innovation and enhancements to our websites and applications, new releases of our mobile and tablet apps, and the development of omni-channel capabilities that further integrate our online presence with our brick and mortar stores to increase athlete engagement, including ship-from-store, buy-online, pick-up in store or curbside and multi-channel marketing campaigns. During the current quarter, our stores enabled over 90% of total sales, serving both our in-store athletes and providing over 800 forward points of distribution for digital fulfillment of orders.
Macroeconomic Outlook
The macroeconomic environment in which we operate remains uncertain. COVID-19 has disrupted global labor markets and supply chains, including factory closures and port congestion, which has resulted in longer transit times and rising container and transportation costs that we expect will continue to remain elevated in the near term. Additionally, fuel prices continue to rise and have been affected by the ongoing conflict inUkraine , contributing to an inflationary environment. Although we have successfully managed these issues thus far, the longer term effect of these challenges and any actions to mitigate them may impact consumer discretionary spending behavior. Our revised fiscal 2022 outlook contemplates this uncertainty, as we continue to actively monitor this rapidly evolving environment.
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 same 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. See further discussion of our comparable store sales in 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, which typically normalizes in our fourth fiscal quarter. See further discussion of our cash flows in 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 2021 Annual Report, we
consider our policies on inventory valuation, business development allowances,
goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, self-insurance
reserves and stock-based compensation to be the most critical in understanding
the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial
statements.

Table of ContentsRESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OTHER SELECTED DATA
Executive Summary
•Net sales decreased 7.5% to$2.70 billion in the current quarter from$2.92 billion during the first quarter of 2021, which included a decrease in comparable store sales of 8.4% following a 117% increase in the same period last year. •In the current quarter, we reported net income of$260.6 million , or$2.47 per diluted share, compared to$361.8 million , or$3.41 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2021. •In consideration of our adoption of ASU 2020-06 in fiscal 2022, current quarter earnings per diluted share assumes that our Convertible Senior Notes are settled in shares of our common stock. As a result, the current quarter earnings per diluted share excludes$8.2 million of interest expense, net of tax, and includes 17.1 million diluted shares related to the Convertible Senior Notes, which together, decreased earnings per diluted share by$0.38 during the first quarter of 2022. Due to our intent to settle the principal of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash and the shares we expect to receive from our convertible bond hedge, which is designed to offset dilution, we do not expect the Convertible Senior Notes will have a dilutive effect upon conversion. •Net income in the first quarter of 2021 included approximately$13 million of pre-tax COVID-related safety costs, or$0.09 per diluted share, net of tax. Additionally, the first quarter of 2021 included$5.4 million of non-cash interest expense, net of tax, and earnings per diluted share included 9.2 million shares related to the Convertible Senior Notes that are designed to be offset at conversion by our bond hedge, which together decreased earnings per diluted share by$0.38 in the prior year quarter.
•During the first quarter of 2022, we:
•Exchanged$100 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes and unwound the applicable portion of the convertible bond hedge and warrants for$100 million of cash and 1.8 million shares of our common stock;
•Declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of

Table of Contents
13 Weeks Ended
Net sales decreased approximately 7.5% to$2,700.2 million in the current quarter from$2,918.7 million in the quarter endedMay 1, 2021 , due primarily to a$239.1 million , or 8.4%, decrease in comparable store sales, partially offset by a$20.6 million increase in net sales primarily attributable to new stores. The decrease in comparable store sales included a 6.4% decrease in transactions and a 2.0% decrease in sales per transaction and reflects last year's favorable sales impact following government stimulus payments as well as anticipated sales normalization in certain categories, including fitness and outdoor equipment.
Income from Operations
Income from operations decreased to
Gross profit decreased to$984.7 million in the current quarter from$1,088.6 million for the quarter endedMay 1, 2021 and decreased as a percentage of net sales by approximately 83 basis points. Merchandise margins increased 143 basis points as a result of our differentiated product assortment combined with our disciplined promotional strategies, as well as favorable sales mix. These merchandise margin improvements, however, were more than offset by a 103 basis point increase in supply chain related costs, primarily due to continuing global disruptions following the start of COVID-19, and occupancy deleverage of 94 basis points. 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. Our occupancy costs increased$6.4 million compared to the prior year quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to$615.3 million in the current quarter from$608.3 million during the first quarter of 2021, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 195 basis points primarily due to the decrease in net sales. The$7.0 million increase was driven by investments in hourly wage rates and talent to support our growth strategies, along with higher brand-building marketing expenses, offset by lower incentive compensation expense and a$17 million net cost reduction compared to the prior year quarter related to changes in the investment values of our deferred compensation plans, for which the corresponding investment change was recognized in Other Expense. In addition, selling, general and administrative expense included approximately$13 million of COVID-related costs in the prior year quarter.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to$25.6 million in the current quarter from$13.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to$13.8 million of interest expense related to the$1.5 billion Senior Notes issued during the fourth quarter of 2021. Current quarter interest expense also included a$5.8 million inducement charge related to the exchange of$100 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, which was offset by a$6.5 million decrease in non-cash interest expense due to our adoption of ASU 2020-06; see Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1-Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for additional details.
Other Expense (Income)
Other expense totaled$9.0 million in the current quarter compared to other income of$7.4 million in the prior year quarter. Substantially all of the change was due to changes in our deferred compensation plan investment values, which we account for by recognizing investment income or expense and recording an offsetting charge or reduction to selling, general and administrative costs.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate decreased to 21.5% in the current quarter from 23.0% in the quarter endedMay 1, 2021 . The current quarter effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the vesting of employee equity awards at a higher share price than awards that vested in the prior year quarter. 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash on hand atApril 30, 2022 was$2.25 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 revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), if necessary. We may require additional funding should we pursue strategic acquisitions, settle all or a portion of the Convertible Senior Notes, undertake share repurchases, pursue other investments or engage in store expansion rates in excess of historical levels.
The following sections describe the potential short and long term impacts to our liquidity and capital requirements.
Leases
We lease all of our stores, three of our distribution centers and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2033. Over two-thirds of ourDICK'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 available to us 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 ofApril 30, 2022 , 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 atApril 30, 2022 . Senior Notes As ofApril 30, 2022 , we have$750 million principal amount of senior notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and$750 million of senior notes due 2052 outstanding (the "2052 Notes" and together with the 2032 Notes, the "Senior Notes"). 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 onJanuary 15 andJuly 15 .
Convertible Senior Notes due 2025
Following our exchange of$100 million principal amount in cash duringApril 2022 , we have an aggregate principal amount of$475 million of Convertible Senior Notes outstanding. Cash interest accrues at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears onApril 15 andOctober 15 . We currently anticipate that we will repay the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash, whether in connection with an early conversion of such notes or repayment at maturity, using excess cash, free cash flow and borrowings on our Credit Facility to minimize share dilution. However, we may need to pursue additional sources of liquidity to repay the Convertible Senior Notes in cash at their maturity date or upon early conversion, as applicable. As ofApril 30, 2022 , the stock price conditions under which the Convertible Senior Notes could be convertible at the holders' option were met. However, we have not received any material conversion requests through the filing date of this Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that any capital required to repay our Convertible Senior Notes will be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. 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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, capital expenditures totaled$73.8 million on a gross basis and$53.9 million on a net basis, which includes tenant allowances provided by landlords. We anticipate that fiscal 2022 gross capital expenditures will be in a range of$400 to$425 million , and$340 to$365 million on a net basis, which includes tenant allowances provided by landlords. We expect our expenditures to be concentrated on improvements within our existing stores and new store development, as well as on continued investments in technology to enhance our store fulfillment and in-store pickup capabilities. 19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Share Repurchases
From time-to-time, we may opportunistically repurchase shares of our common
stock under favorable market conditions. During the first quarter of fiscal
2022, we repurchased approximately 0.4 million shares of our common stock at a
cost of $42.2 million . We currently operate under a $2.0 billion share
repurchase program that was authorized by the Board of Directors on December 16,
2021 . As of April 30, 2022 , the available amount remaining under the December
2021 authorization was $1.81 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 13 weeks ended
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 several financial institutions, whereby suppliers have the opportunity to settle outstanding payment obligations early at a discount. In turn, we settle invoices with the financial institutions in accordance with the original supplier payment terms. Our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. Our liability associated with the funded participation in the arrangements, which is presented within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was$98.3 million and$76.0 million as ofApril 30, 2022 andJanuary 29, 2022 , respectively.
Cash Flows
Changes in cash and cash equivalents are as follows:

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents$ (391.9) $ 200.7 Operating Activities Cash from operating activities decreased$507.7 million for the 13 weeks endedApril 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a$269.7 million increase in cash payments for inventory and accounts payable to replenish inventory levels after a 28.3% sales increase in fiscal 2021 and supply chain disruptions following the start of COVID-19. The remaining decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily driven by lower earnings in the current period, year-over-year changes in incentive compensation accruals and corresponding payments, and the timing of marketing and deferred compensation plan payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities decreased$3.1 million for the 13 weeks endedApril 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year. Gross capital expenditures for the current period include investments in store technology and facilities, offset by last year's investments in merchandise presentation and improving the fitting and lesson experience in our golf business. 20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
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
increased $87.9 million for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2022 compared to the
prior year period, primarily driven by payment for the exchange of $100 million
aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes in April 2022 .
