DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” unless specified otherwise) is a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories through a blend of dedicated teammates, in-store services and unique specialty shop-in-shops. In addition to DICK’S Sporting Goods stores, the Company owns and operates Golf Galaxy, Public Lands and Going Going Gone! specialty concept stores and also offers its products online and through its mobile apps. The Company also owns and operates DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile platform for live streaming, scheduling, communications and scorekeeping. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or specifies, any reference to “year” is to the Company’s fiscal year.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information.
The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024. Operating results for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2025 or any other period.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts within the Consolidated Statements of Income to conform selling, general and administrative expenses and pre-opening expenses to the current year presentation of grand opening advertising costs. Beginning in fiscal 2024, pre-opening expenses include grand opening advertising costs, which were historically included within selling, general and administrative expenses. This change in presentation had no effect on the Company’s income from operations in any reporting period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
Supplier Finance Programs
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, “Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose the key terms of its program along with information about obligations outstanding, including a roll-forward of those obligations. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with the exception of the roll-forward disclosure requirement, which is effective on a prospective basis beginning in fiscal 2024 within the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial disclosures.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial disclosures.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires a public entity to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial disclosures.
2. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares, which include stock-based awards, such as restricted stock and stock options, and shares the Company could have been obligated to issue from its convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Senior Notes”) and warrants prior to their retirement in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Dilutive potential common shares for the Company’s stock-based awards and warrants are determined using the treasury stock method, while the dilutive effect of the Convertible Senior Notes on the Company’s diluted earnings per common share was calculated using the “if-converted method.” Dilutive potential common shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

3. Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Recurring
The Company records deferred compensation plan assets held in trust at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. Such assets consist of investments in various mutual and money market funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plans. As of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s deferred compensation plans was $153.3 million, $137.9 million and $127.1 million, respectively. The liability for compensation deferred under the Company’s plans is included within other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company discloses the fair value of its senior notes due 2032 and 2052 using Level 2 inputs, which are based on quoted prices for similar or identical instruments in inactive markets, as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| November 2, 2024 | | February 3, 2024 | | October 28, 2023 |
| Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value |

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) |
Due to their short-term nature, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximated their carrying values at November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023.
Nonrecurring
Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis may include property and equipment, operating lease assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity and other assets. These assets are required to be assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. If an impairment is required, the asset is adjusted to fair value using Level 3 inputs.
4. Leases
The Company leases substantially all of its stores, three of its distribution centers, and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2042. The Company’s stores generally have initial lease terms of 10 to 15 years and contain multiple five-year renewal options and rent escalation provisions. The lease agreements are primarily for the payment of minimum annual rentals, costs of utilities, property taxes, maintenance, common areas and insurance.
Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 and October 28, 2023 were as follows (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; therefore, new risk factors can arise, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof. We do not assume any obligation and do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise except as may be required by securities laws.
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 to DICK’S Sporting Goods stores, we own and operate Golf Galaxy, Public Lands and Going Going Gone! specialty concept stores, and also offer our products online and through our mobile apps. We also own and operate DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile platform for live streaming, scheduling, communications and scorekeeping. 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.
Through our strategic pillars of athlete experience, teammate experience, differentiated product and brand engagement, we have transformed our business to drive sustained profitable growth. As part of our strategy, we have meaningfully improved our merchandise assortment through our vertical brands and strong relationships with our key brand partners, which provide access to highly differentiated products. We have also enhanced our store selling culture and service model and incorporated additional experiential elements and technology into our stores to further engage our athletes. Lastly, we continue to innovate our omni-channel athlete experience through our DICK’S House of Sport stores, Golf Galaxy Performance Centers and our DICK’S Field House stores, and believe that a key driver of our future omni-channel growth will include repositioning our store portfolio to grow these stores. In addition to these strategies and foundational improvements, consumers have also made what we believe will be lasting lifestyle changes in recent years, prioritizing sport and maintaining healthy, active lifestyles, which has increased demand for our products.
Business Environment
The macroeconomic environment in which we operate remains dynamic as a result of numerous factors, including ongoing elevated interest rates and inflationary pressures, which could impact consumer discretionary spending behavior and the promotional landscape in which we operate, as well as higher levels of inventory shrink, which has been noted throughout the retail industry. In addition, we completed a business optimization during 2023 to better align our talent, organizational design and spending in support of our most critical strategies.
Despite the dynamic macroeconomic environment, we continue to drive comparable sales growth through execution of our core strategies. As a result of our strong performance, confidence in our strategic initiatives and operational strength, balanced against the macroeconomic environment and a shorter traditional holiday shopping season, we have raised our full year outlook for 2024 and now expect comparable sales growth for the year to be in the range of 3.6% to 4.2% and earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $13.65 to $13.95.
Overview of other trends affecting 2024
•Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023, there is a one-week shift in the current year fiscal calendar compared to the prior year, which favorably impacted net sales comparisons for the first half of the fiscal year by approximately $140 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. We expect an offset to this favorability in the second half of the fiscal year, including the unfavorable impact to net sales comparisons for the third quarter of approximately $105 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, resulting from the calendar shift during a key back-to-school week. Apart from the extra week of operations last year, which added $170.2 million of net sales, or $0.19 per diluted share to our full year results, the calendar shift will not impact total net sales or earnings per diluted share comparisons to the prior year.
•While inventory shrink remains elevated compared to historical levels, inventory shrink as a percentage of net sales decreased 27 basis points during the year-to-date period compared to 2023, as the prior year-to-date period included the cumulative impact of shrink identified from our physical inventories. For the remainder of the year, we expect inventory shrink as a percent of net sales to remain relatively flat compared to the prior year period.
•During 2024, we expect gross margin to expand year-over-year. Additionally, we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to leverage as a percentage of net sales due to last year’s business optimization, which resulted in $72.8 million of charges within selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by strategic investments we are making to drive long-term growth, based upon the strength of our business.
The Company’s current expectations described above are forward-looking statements. Please see the “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q for information regarding important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those currently projected and/or otherwise materially affect the Company.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Senior management focuses on certain key indicators to monitor our performance, including:
▪Comparable sales performance – Our management considers comparable sales, which also includes online sales and GameChanger revenue, to be an important indicator of our current performance. Comparable sales results are important to leverage our costs, which include occupancy costs, store payroll and other store expenses. Comparable sales also have a direct impact on our total net sales, net income, cash and working capital. A store is included in the comparable sales calculation during the fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations. Relocated stores are included in the comparable sales calculation from the open date of the original location. Stores that were permanently closed during the applicable period have been excluded from comparable sales results. For further discussion of our comparable sales, refer to 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 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 first and third fiscal quarters due to the timing of inventory purchases in advance of our peak selling periods and anticipated higher cash flows during our second and fourth fiscal quarter. For further discussion of our cash flows, refer to 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 sales per square foot, store operating contribution margin and store cash flow.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
As discussed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, we consider our policies on inventory obsolescence, inventory shrink, goodwill and intangible assets, and impairment of long-lived assets to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OTHER SELECTED DATA
Executive Summary
▪Net sales increased 0.5% to $3.06 billion in the current quarter from $3.04 billion during the third quarter of 2023, which includes a shift in the Company’s fiscal calendar due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023 that unfavorably impacted current period net sales comparisons by approximately $105 million. Adjusted for the calendar shift, comparable sales increased 4.2%, following a 1.9% increase in the same period last year.
▪In the current quarter, we reported net income of $227.8 million, or $2.75 per diluted share, compared to $201.1 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2023.
•Net income for the prior year quarter included business optimization charges of $38.8 million, net of tax, or $0.46 per diluted share;
•The year-over-year increase was unfavorably impacted by approximately $0.35 per diluted share from the calendar shift.
▪During the third quarter of 2024, we:
▪Declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $1.10 per share of our common stock and Class B common stock.

(A) Column does not add due to rounding.
(1)Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales, including vendor-direct sales arrangements, is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Revenue from gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively the “cards”) is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. The cards have no expiration date.
(2)Cost of goods sold includes: the cost of merchandise (inclusive of vendor allowances, inventory shrinkage and inventory write-downs for the lower of cost or net realizable value); freight; distribution; shipping; and store occupancy costs. We define merchandise margin as net sales less the cost of merchandise sold. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation and certain insurance expenses.
(3)Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, operating costs associated with our internal eCommerce platform, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating our customer support center.
(4)Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, including grand opening advertising costs, payroll, recruiting and other store preparation costs are expensed as incurred. Rent is recognized within pre-opening expense from the date the Company takes possession of a site through the date of store opening and during periods when stores are closed for remodeling. Beginning in fiscal 2024, the Company now reflects grand opening advertising costs within pre-opening expenses, which were historically included within selling, general and administrative expenses. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
(5)Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023, there is a one-week shift in the fiscal 2024 calendar compared to the prior year, which unfavorably impacted the 13 weeks ended November 2, 2024 net sales comparisons by approximately $105 million and favorably impacted the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 net sales comparisons by approximately $35 million. Comparable sales for fiscal 2024 are calculated by shifting the prior year period by one week to compare similar calendar weeks.
(6)Beginning in fiscal 2024, we revised our method for calculating comparable sales to include GameChanger revenue. Prior year information has been revised to reflect this change for comparability purposes. See additional details as furnished in Exhibit 99.2 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024.
(7)Excludes temporary value chain locations.
13 Weeks Ended November 2, 2024 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended October 28, 2023
Net Sales
Net sales increased 0.5% to $3,057.2 million in the current quarter from $3,042.4 million for the quarter ended October 28, 2023. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023, there is a one-week shift in the fiscal 2024 calendar compared to the prior year, which unfavorably impacted current quarter net sales comparisons by approximately $105 million. Comparable sales, as adjusted for the shifted retail calendar, increased 4.2%, or $118.2 million. The remaining increase in net sales was primarily attributable to new stores, including DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center locations, partially offset by Moosejaw and other store closures.
The increase in comparable sales included a 4.8% increase in sales per transaction and a 0.6% decrease in transactions, and reflects growth in certain back-to-school categories including footwear, athletic apparel, and team sports, offset by declines in outdoor-related categories including hunt, apparel and equipment, and fitness.
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased to $286.0 million in the current quarter compared to $272.9 million for the quarter ended October 28, 2023.
Gross profit increased to $1,093.4 million in the current quarter from $1,061.5 million for the quarter ended October 28, 2023 and increased as a percentage of net sales by 88 basis points primarily due to higher merchandise margins, partially offset by occupancy deleverage. Merchandise margins as a percentage of net sales increased 104 basis points as a result of a favorable sales mix and the quality of our assortment. Additionally, merchandise margins for the prior year quarter included a $6.3 million write-down of inventory related to the Company’s business optimization. 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, increased $13.4 million and deleveraged 39 basis points as a percentage of net sales primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of the calendar shift. The remaining increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by lower eCommerce shipping and fulfillment costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.9% to $790.6 million in the current quarter from $768.2 million for the quarter ended October 28, 2023, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 61 basis points, which includes the unfavorable impact on net sales resulting from the calendar shift of approximately 65 basis points. The $22.4 million increase in current quarter expense is primarily due to strategic investments across marketing, technology and talent, and higher incentive compensation, partially offset by business optimization charges of $46.2 million incurred in the prior year quarter. The current quarter also includes a $15.5 million expense increase related to changes in the investment values of our deferred compensation plans, which is fully offset in Other Income.
Pre-opening expenses decreased to $16.8 million in the current quarter from $20.3 million for the quarter ended October 28, 2023. Pre-opening expenses in any period fluctuate depending on the timing and number of new store openings and relocations.
Other Income
Other income totaled $24.0 million in the current quarter compared to $10.1 million for the prior year quarter, and includes a $15.5 million expense decrease compared to the prior year from changes in our deferred compensation plan investment values driven by performance in equity markets. The Company recognizes investment income or investment expense to reflect changes in deferred compensation plan investment values with an offsetting charge or reduction to selling, general and administrative costs for the same amount.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate decreased to 23.3% in the current quarter from 25.1% for the quarter ended October 28, 2023. The effective tax rate for the prior year quarter was unfavorably impacted by a $3.4 million decrease in excess tax benefits resulting from a lower number of employee equity awards vesting and exercised in the prior year compared to the current quarter.
39 Weeks Ended November 2, 2024 Compared to the 39 Weeks Ended October 28, 2023
Net Sales
Net sales increased 4.8% to $9,549.2 million in the current period from $9,108.2 million for the prior year period. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023, there is a one-week shift in the fiscal 2024 calendar compared to the prior year, which favorably impacted current period net sales comparisons by approximately $35 million. Comparable sales, as adjusted for the shifted retail calendar, increased 4.7%, or $412.2 million. The remaining decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to Moosejaw and other store closures, partially offset by new stores, including DICK’S House of Sport and Golf Galaxy Performance Center locations.
The increase in comparable sales included a 3.7% increase in sales per transaction and a 1.0% increase in transactions, and reflects growth in footwear, athletic apparel, hydration and accessories, offset by declines in outdoor-related categories including hunt, equipment and apparel, and fitness.
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased to $1,086.9 million in the current period, compared to $910.3 million for the prior year period.
Gross profit increased to $3,464.4 million in the current period from $3,199.6 million for the prior year period and increased as a percentage of net sales by 115 basis points. Merchandise margins as a percentage of net sales increased 80 basis points as a result of a favorable sales mix and the quality of our assortment, along with a 27 basis point decrease in inventory shrink from the prior year, which included the cumulative impact of shrink identified from our physical inventories. Additionally, merchandise margins for the prior year period included a $6.3 million write-down of inventory related to the Company’s business optimization. Our occupancy costs increased $36.9 million and leveraged 4 basis points compared to fiscal 2023 as a percentage of net sales. The remaining increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by lower eCommerce shipping and fulfillment, and supply chain costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.7% to $2,330.7 million in the current period from $2,226.8 million for the prior year period, but decreased as a percentage of net sales by 4 basis points due to the current period increase in net sales. The $103.9 million increase includes strategic investments across technology, marketing and talent, and higher incentive compensation, partially offset by business optimization charges of $46.2 million incurred in the prior year period. The current year period also includes a $19.8 million expense increase related to changes in the investment values of our deferred compensation plans, which is fully offset in Other Income.
Pre-opening expenses decreased to $46.8 million in the current period from $62.4 million for the prior year period. Pre-opening expenses in any period fluctuate depending on the timing and number of new store openings and relocations. The current year period includes pre-opening expenses to support the opening of five DICK’S House of Sport stores, compared to nine in the prior year period.
Other Income
Other income totaled $75.1 million in the current period compared to $56.3 million for the period ended October 28, 2023, and includes a $19.8 million expense decrease compared to the prior year period from changes in our deferred compensation plan investment values driven by performance in equity markets. The Company recognizes investment income or investment expense to reflect changes in deferred compensation plan investment values with an offsetting charge or reduction to selling, general and administrative costs for the same amount.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate increased to 22.9% in the current period from 18.7% for the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the prior year period was favorably impacted by a $36.2 million increase in excess tax benefits, resulting from a higher number of employee equity awards vesting and exercised in the prior year compared to the current year period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash on hand as of November 2, 2024 was $1.46 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 credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), if necessary. We may require additional funding should we pursue strategic acquisitions, undertake share repurchases, pursue other investments or engage in store expansion rates in excess of historical levels. We had no revolving credit facility borrowings at any point during 2024.
The following sections describe the potential short and long-term impacts to our liquidity and capital requirements.
Leases
We lease substantially all of our stores, three of our distribution centers, and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2042. Approximately three-quarters of our DICK’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. Refer to Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4 – Leases for further information.
Revolving Credit Facility
We have 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 of November 2, 2024, 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 at November 2, 2024.
Senior Notes
As of November 2, 2024, we have $750 million principal amount of 2032 Notes and $750 million principal amount of 2052 Notes outstanding. 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 on January 15 and July 15.
As of November 2, 2024, our Senior Notes have long-term credit ratings by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies of Baa2 and BBB, respectively.
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. Capital expenditures for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 totaled $565.6 million on a gross basis and $511.1 million on a net basis, inclusive of construction allowances provided by landlords.
We anticipate fiscal 2024 capital expenditures of approximately $800 million, net of construction allowances provided by landlords. As we continue to reposition our store portfolio, these investments will be concentrated in planned new store development, relocations and remodels that will include eight DICK’S House of Sport stores, ten Golf Galaxy Performance Centers and 15 DICK’S Field House stores scheduled to open in 2024, as well as improvements within our existing stores including converting approximately 45 stores to premium full-service footwear decks. Additionally, we expect to begin construction in 2024 on approximately 15 DICK’S House of Sport stores and approximately ten DICK’S Field House stores that are scheduled to open throughout 2025, and began construction on a new regional distribution center in Texas that we plan to open in 2026, while continuing to invest in technology to enhance our store fulfillment, in-store pickup and other foundational capabilities. Our 2024 capital expenditures plan also includes the purchase of certain real estate assets primarily related to DICK’S House of Sport stores, for which we are evaluating potential sale-leaseback opportunities.
Share Repurchases
From time-to-time, we may opportunistically repurchase shares of our common stock under our $2.0 billion share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors on December 16, 2021. During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $170.3 million. As of November 2, 2024, the available amount remaining under the December 2021 share repurchase authorization is $609.3 million.
We currently anticipate 2024 share repurchases of approximately $300 million. 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 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024, we paid $273.1 million of dividends to our stockholders. On November 25, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $1.10 per share of common stock and Class B common stock, payable on December 27, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 13, 2024.
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 third-party financial institutions, whereby suppliers have the opportunity to settle outstanding payment obligations early at a discount. We do not have an economic interest in suppliers’ voluntary participation and we do not provide any guarantees or pledge assets under these arrangements. Supplier invoices are settled with the third-party financial institutions in accordance with the original supplier payment terms and our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted by these arrangements. Liabilities associated with the funded participation in these arrangements, which are presented within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $46.4 million, $45.9 million and $38.9 million as of November 2, 2024, February 3, 2024 and October 28, 2023, respectively.
Cash Flows
Changes in cash and cash equivalents are as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 39 Weeks Ended |
(in thousands) | November 2, 2024 | | October 28, 2023 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 680,307 | | | $ | 764,714 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | (557,245) | | | (433,325) | |
Net cash used in financing activities | (465,437) | | | (849,351) | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (190) | | | (210) | |
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (342,565) | | | $ | (518,172) | |
Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $84.4 million for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to changes in inventory levels and accounts payable, which decreased operating cash flows by $313.3 million and reflects our investments in key categories to support our sales growth, partially offset by higher earnings, year-over-year changes in incentive compensation accruals and corresponding payments and other accrued expenses, and the timing of year-over-year rent payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities increased $123.9 million for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 compared to the same period last year. Gross capital expenditures increased $156.0 million primarily driven by investments in new and future DICK’S House of Sport stores and DICK’S Field House stores, as well as the construction of our sixth distribution facility and higher investments in remodels or other store enhancements. Cash used in investing activities for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2023 included our acquisition of Moosejaw and progress payments for the purchase of corporate aircraft, offset by proceeds received from the sale of our Field & Stream trademark and other intellectual property.
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 decreased $383.9 million for the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower share repurchases and lower cash payments for minimum tax withholding requirements as a result of the vesting of employee equity awards compared to the prior year, partially offset by changes in bank overdraft balances between periods.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Company's market risk exposures from those reported in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of November 2, 2024, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, November 2, 2024.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any control system, including the potential for human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Additionally, judgments in decision making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. An effective control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the system are adequately met. Accordingly, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our control system can prevent or detect all errors or fraud. Finally, projections of any evaluation or assessment of effectiveness of a control system to future periods are subject to the risks that, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in an entity’s operating environment or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended May 4, 2024 and August 3, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2024 and September 4, 2024, respectively, on February 16, 2024, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union No. 719 Pension Trust Fund filed a putative shareholder class action complaint against the Company and certain of our executive officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. On July 30, 2024, the Court appointed the State of Rhode Island Office of the General Treasurer, on behalf of the Employees’ Retirement System of the State of Rhode Island, and Western Pennsylvania Teamsters and Employers Pension Fund as lead plaintiffs in the action (now captioned In re Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 2:24-cv-00196-NR-KT). On October 15, 2024, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint against the same defendants alleging that the defendants violated Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by making material misrepresentations and omissions about the Company’s business and financial condition, including regarding the Company’s inventory, margins, and business prospects, as well as inventory shrinkage related to retail theft. The consolidated complaint is brought on behalf of a putative class of those who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between August 23, 2022 and August 21, 2023, and seeks relief including damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees. The defendants’ response to the consolidated complaint is due December 16, 2024. The Company does not believe the consolidated complaint states any meritorious claim and intends to defend this case vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation.
We and our subsidiaries are involved in various other proceedings that are incidental to the normal course of our business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not expect that any of such other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
