PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (referred to as the "Company", "Dick's" or in the first person notations "we", "us" and "our" unless specified otherwise) is an authentic, full-line sports and fitness omni-channel retailer offering a broad assortment of high quality, competitively-priced brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment. The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy, LLC, a golf specialty retailer ("Golf Galaxy"). Dick's was founded in 1948 when Richard "Dick" Stack, the father of Edward W. Stack, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, opened his original bait and tackle store in Binghamton, New York. Edward W. Stack joined his father's business full-time in 1977, and in 1984, became President and Chief Executive Officer of the then two store chain. Our vision is to: build leading brands that serve and inspire athletes and outdoor enthusiasts around the world to achieve their personal best; create value for our stockholders through the relentless improvement of everything we do; and make a lasting impact in our communities through sport.

We were incorporated in 1948 in New York under the name Dick's Clothing and Sporting Goods, Inc. In November 1997, we reincorporated as a Delaware corporation, and in April 1999 we changed our name to Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. Our executive office is located at 345 Court Street, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania 15108 and our phone number is (724) 273-3400. Our website is located at www.DicksSportingGoods.com. The information on our website does not constitute a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We include on our website, free of charge, copies of our annual and quarterly reports filed on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

As of February 2, 2013, the Company operated 518 Dick's Sporting Goods stores in 44 states and 81 Golf Galaxy stores in 30 states. Additionally, the Company operates eCommerce operations for both Dick's and Golf Galaxy.

Business Strategy

The key elements of our business strategy are:

Authentic Sporting Goods Retailer. Our history and core foundation is as a retailer of high quality authentic athletic equipment, apparel and footwear, intended to enhance our customers' performance and enjoyment of athletic pursuits, rather than focusing our merchandise selection on the latest fashion trend or style. We believe our customers seek genuine, deep product offerings, and ultimately this merchandising approach positions us with advantages in the market, which we believe will continue to benefit from new product offerings with enhanced technological features.

Store Base Expansion and Improvements. The primary factors that historically influenced our profitability and success have been the growth in our number of stores and selling square footage, positive same store sales and our strong gross profit margins. In the last five years, we have grown from 355 Dick's stores at the end of fiscal 2007 to 518 Dick's stores at the end of fiscal 2012. We seek to expand our presence through opening of new stores while maintaining the productivity of our new stores through disciplined site selection and an effective marketing strategy. We believe there is opportunity for at least 1,100 Dick's locations across the United States, compared to our previous estimates of 900 Dick's locations. The increase in the number of potential Dick's locations reflects the Company's planned implementation of a smaller-market strategy, beginning in fiscal 2013.

We also make continued investments in our store locations in order to maintain our brand standards and improve our customer's shopping experience, such as our shared service footwear models, which

5

have generated higher same store sales and sales per transaction than our full-service model. The Company had 174 and 131 shared service footwear models at the end of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Brand Partnerships. We carry a wide variety of well-known brands, including adidas, Callaway Golf, Columbia, Nike, Remington, TaylorMade-adidas Golf, The North Face, Under Armour and Wilson. In addition to the cost efficiencies of shared investments with our brand partners, we seek to leverage our partnerships to offer authenticity and credibility to our customers, while differentiating us from our competitors. We partner with our brands on important marketing initiatives and product launches, in addition to leveraging athletes that the brands bring to us for our marketing campaigns. Our brand partnerships also provide us with access to exclusive products and allow us to collaboratively develop enhancements that differentiate our customers' shopping experience, such as our brand shops, which provide our customers with a wider and deeper selection of products from our key brands, or co-branded microsites to enhance our customers' online experience.

The following table represents a table of the Company's brand shops for the periods presented:

	Fiscal Year
Brand Shops	2012		2011
Nike		171		105
Under Armour		107		48
The North Face		91		83

Omni-channel Development. We are upgrading site functionality, expanding content, investing in new capabilities and beginning to leverage our store network to provide customers with an enhanced shopping experience that enables our customers to buy and receive products where, when and how they want. We believe that leveraging all of our sales channels to deliver a consistent, seamless and high-quality customer experience across our stores, on the web and via mobile technology will differentiate us from our online-only competitors.

Private Brands. We also offer a wide variety of private brands such as adidas baseball, DBX, Epic, Field & Stream, Fitness Gear, Köppen, Maxfli, Nickent, Nishiki, Quest, Reebok (performance apparel), Slazenger (golf and racquets), Top-Flite, Umbro (performance equipment, footwear and apparel) and Walter Hagen. Our private brands and other exclusive products offer our customers products that they cannot find anywhere else. Our private brands also offer exceptional value and quality to our customers at each price point and obtain higher gross margins than we obtain on sales of comparable branded products. Our private brands are designed and developed to offer our customers differentiated assortments from our competitors. We have invested in a development and procurement staff that continually sources products targeted specifically to our customers' needs.

Retail Concept Development. In fiscal 2012, we accelerated our research efforts by opening two True Runner stores, a specialized footwear concept. In fiscal 2013, we plan to open additional True Runner locations and to introduce a dedicated Field & Stream store, a specialized outdoor concept. These highly specialized concept stores enable us to connect with dedicated athletes in their own element, giving us valuable insight into key merchandise categories that we can apply across our entire network. We also opened an enhanced Golf Galaxy store in fiscal 2012 that delivers an innovative and highly interactive shopping experience. We plan to open one new and one relocated prototype in fiscal 2013, giving us a new growth path for our Golf Galaxy brand.

Strategic Marketing. Our historical marketing strategy was designed to promote our selection of brand name products at competitive prices and consisted largely of newspaper advertising supplemented by direct mail and seasonal use of local and national television and radio. While we continue to market our merchandise assortment through traditional channels, we have reduced our newspaper advertising

6

and developed brand-building marketing campaigns focused on building passion and loyalty to the Dick's Sporting Goods brand. Additionally, we have shifted our advertising mix to include more digital marketing, including an increase in digital platforms as well as digital exclusive marketing campaigns.

Merchandising

We offer a full range of sporting goods and active apparel at each price point in order to appeal to the beginner, intermediate and enthusiast sports consumer. The merchandise we carry includes one or more of the leading manufacturers in each category and includes well-known brands such as adidas, Callaway Golf, Columbia, Nike, Remington, TaylorMade-adidas Golf, The North Face, Under Armour and Wilson. Our merchandise also includes our private brands described above. Our objective is not only to carry leading brands, but to carry a full range of products within each brand, including premium items for the sports enthusiast.

We believe that the breadth of our product selections in each category of sporting goods offers our customers a wide range of good, better and best price points and enables us to address the needs of sporting goods consumers, from the beginner to the sport enthusiast, which distinguishes us from other large format sporting goods stores. We also believe that the range of merchandise we offer allows us to compete effectively against all of our competitors, from traditional independent sporting goods stores and specialty shops to other large format sporting goods stores and mass merchant discount retailers to internet-based retailers.

The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of our sales attributable to the hardlines, apparel and footwear categories for the periods presented:

	Fiscal Year
Category	2012	2011	2010
Hardlines (1)	50%	51%	53%
Apparel	29%	29%	28%
Footwear	20%	19%	18%
Other (2)	1%	1%	1%
Total	100%	100%	100%

⁽¹⁾

Includes items such as sporting goods equipment, fitness equipment, golf equipment and hunting and fishing gear.

⁽²⁾

Includes the Company's non-merchandise sales categories, including in-store services and shipping revenues.

Selling Channels

We sell our products through our retail stores and our eCommerce operations. Although we sell through both of these channels, our primary sales channel remains our retail stores. Regardless of the sales channel, we seek to provide our customers with a seamless omni-channel shopping experience in our stores, online and via mobile devices.

Retail Stores:

Store Format.  Each of our Dick's stores unites several sports specialty stores under one roof and typically contains the following specialty stores: Footwear; Team Sports, Outdoor Lodge, Golf, Fitness and Athletic Apparel. We believe our "store-within-a-store" concept creates a unique shopping environment by combining the convenience, broad assortment and competitive prices of large format stores with the brand names, deep product selection and customer service of a specialty store. Our Golf Galaxy stores are designed to create an exciting and interactive shopping

7

environment for the golf enthusiast that highlights our extensive product assortments and value-added services.

Our primary prototype Dick's store is a single-level store of approximately 50,000 square feet. We also have a prototype two-level store of approximately 80,000 square feet for those trade areas that have sufficient in-profile customers to support it. Our primary prototype Golf Galaxy store is a single-level store that generally ranges from 13,000 to 18,000 square feet. In addition, we also have a prototype Golf Galaxy store of approximately 35,000 square feet, which includes more services and experiential shopping. In our Dick's stores, approximately 83% of store space is used for selling and approximately 17% is used for backroom storage of merchandise, receiving and office space.

We seek to encourage cross-selling and impulse buying through the layout of our departments. We provide a bright, open shopping environment through the use of glass, lights and lower shelving that enable customers to see the array of merchandise offered throughout our stores. We avoid the warehouse store look featured by some of our large format competitors.

Store Associates and Operations.  We strive to complement our merchandise selection and innovative store design with superior customer service. We seek to recruit sports enthusiasts to serve as sales associates because we believe that they are more knowledgeable and passionate about the products they sell. For example, we currently employ PGA and LPGA golf professionals to work in our Dick's golf departments and Golf Galaxy stores, bicycle mechanics to sell and service bicycles and certified fitness trainers to provide advice on the best fitness equipment for our customers. As of February 2, 2013, we employed 568 PGA and LPGA professionals in our Dick's golf departments and our Golf Galaxy stores. As of February 2, 2013, we also employed 607 bike mechanics and 402 certified fitness trainers. We believe that our associates' enthusiasm and ability to demonstrate and explain the advantages of the products lead to increased sales. We believe our prompt, knowledgeable and enthusiastic service fosters the confidence and loyalty of our customers and differentiates us from other large format sporting goods stores.

Our Dick's stores are typically open seven days a week, generally from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. Our Golf Galaxy stores are typically open seven days a week, generally from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Support Services.  We believe that offering support services for the products we sell enhances the credibility of our associates and specialty store concept with our customers and further differentiates our stores from other large format sporting goods stores. At our Dick's and Golf Galaxy stores, we offer a complete range of expert golf services, including custom club fitting, club repair, and grip and shaft installation for drivers, irons and putters, and we also have certified club technicians on hand. We offer private lessons with our PGA and LPGA professionals in our Golf Galaxy Stores. Our Dick's stores also feature bicycle maintenance and repair stations on the sales floor that allow our bicycle mechanics to service bicycles in addition to assisting customers. At our Dick's stores, we also steam baseball gloves, string tennis racquets and lacrosse sticks, sharpen ice skates, provide home delivery and assembly of fitness equipment, provide scope mounting and bore sighting services, cut arrows, sell hunting and fishing licenses and fill CO₂ tanks for paintball.

Site Selection and Store Expansion.  We select geographic markets and store sites based on a variety of factors, including demographic information, quality and nature of neighboring tenants, store visibility and accessibility. Key demographics include population density, household income, age and average number of occupants per household. In addition to these demographics, golf participation rates are considered in selecting sites for our Golf Galaxy stores. We seek to locate our Dick's stores in primary retail centers with an emphasis on co-tenants including major discount

8

retailers such as Wal-Mart or Target, or specialty retailers from other categories such as Lowe's or Staples.

We seek to balance our expansion of Dick's stores between new and existing markets. In our existing markets, we add stores as necessary to cover appropriate trade areas. Clustering stores allows us to take advantage of economies of scale in advertising, promotion, distribution and supervisory costs. We seek to locate stores within separate trade areas within each metropolitan area and expand in geographically contiguous areas, in order to establish long-term market penetration and build on our experience in the same or nearby regions. We believe that local knowledge is an important part of success. In considering new regions, we locate our stores in areas we believe are underserved. In addition to larger metropolitan areas, we also target smaller population centers in which we locate single stores, generally in regional shopping centers with a wide regional draw. The following table summarizes store openings and closings for 2012 and 2011:

	Fiscal 2012			Fiscal 2011
	Dick's	Golf Galaxy	Total	Dick's	Golf Galaxy	Total
Beginning stores	480	81	561	444	81	525
New stores:
Single-level stores	37	-	37	35	-	35
Two-level stores	1	-	1	1	-	1
Total new stores	38	-	38	36	-	36
Ending stores	518	81	599	480	81	561
Remodeled stores	-	-	-	14	-	14
Relocated stores	5	1	6	-	1	1

Future openings will depend upon several factors, including but not limited to general economic conditions, consumer confidence in the economy, unemployment trends, interest rates and inflation, the availability of retail store sites on acceptable terms, real estate prices and the availability of adequate capital. Because our new store openings depend on many factors, they are subject to risks and uncertainties as described below within Item 1A. "Risks Factors".

eCommerce:

Through our Dick's and Golf Galaxy websites, we seek to provide our customers with in-depth product knowledge and the ability to shop with us at any time. We continue to develop our online content and capabilities to enhance the online experience and fully integrate the business with our stores. Currently, we have return-to-store capabilities for online orders, the ability to place online orders in our stores if we are out of stock in the retail store and the ability to ship orders placed online from our retail locations, which reduces delivery times for online orders and improves inventory productivity. In fiscal 2012, our eCommerce business accounted for approximately 5% of our total sales.

Marketing and Advertising

Our marketing program is designed to build loyalty for the Dick's brand while promoting our broad assortment of brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment.

Our media plan is primarily comprised of television, direct mail, digital and print. In fiscal 2012, special emphasis was placed on growing the Dick's brand through fully integrated campaigns across all media types. We continue to optimize our media mix by shifting to more efficient and effective marketing channels and by leveraging extensive customer relationship marketing data from our growing

9

"ScoreCard Rewards" and "Advantage Club" loyalty programs. The Company is also actively involved in communities, sponsoring thousands of teams at the local level.

Information Systems

Our core merchandising, allocation and replenishment systems are from JDA. The data generated by these systems are consolidated into a comprehensive data warehouse application that was purpose-built to provide near real-time performance information across a broad spectrum of critical metrics for our business. All functions of the business have access to highly accurate and consistent information related to the various components of sales, inventory and margin from department to SKU level.

Our end-to-end supply chain management suite of software applications is from Manhattan Associates and operates our four distribution centers from the central computing complex in our corporate headquarters, which we refer to as the Store Support Center ("SSC"). The Company's Financial and Human Resource Management systems are PeopleSoft applications provided by Oracle. All third party applications are integrated and enhanced using state-of-the-art software tools and techniques developed internally.

The enterprise data center located within SSC is equipped with mainframe and mid-range computers and storage systems from IBM, integrated with voice and data networking communication equipment from Cisco. This facility has been built to support the future growth of the Company. The Company has also established a separate data center to serve as the Company's disaster recovery redundancy location.

Purchasing and Distribution

We purchase merchandise from approximately 1,200 vendors. During fiscal 2012, Nike, our largest vendor, represented approximately 17% of our merchandise purchases. No other vendor represented 10% or more of our fiscal 2012 merchandise purchases. We do not have long-term purchase contracts with any of our vendors and all of our purchases from vendors are done on a short-term purchase order basis.

We operate four regional distribution centers: a 725,000 square foot distribution center in Plainfield, Indiana, a 657,000 square foot distribution center near Atlanta, Georgia, a 601,000 square foot distribution center in Smithton, Pennsylvania and a 624,000 square foot distribution center in Goodyear, Arizona, which became operational in January 2013. Vendors directly ship floor ready merchandise to our distribution centers, where it is processed and allocated directly to our stores or to temporary storage at our distribution centers. Our distribution centers are responsible for consolidating damaged or defective merchandise from our stores that is being returned to vendors. We have contracted with common carriers to deliver merchandise from all of our distribution centers to our stores.

Competition

The market for sporting goods retailers is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. The retail sporting goods industry comprises five principal categories:

•

Large Format Sporting Goods Stores and Chains;

•

Traditional Sporting Goods Stores and Chains;

•

Specialty and Vendor Stores;

•

Mass Merchants; and

•

Internet and Catalog-Based Retailers.

10

Large Format Sporting Goods Stores

The large format stores generally range from 20,000 to 100,000 square feet and offer a broad selection of sporting goods merchandise. We believe that our strong performance with the large format store in recent years is due in part to our unique approach in blending the best attributes of a large format store with the best attributes of a specialty shop.

Traditional Sporting Goods Stores

These stores generally range from 5,000 to 20,000 square feet and are frequently located in regional malls and multi-store shopping centers. Although they typically carry a varied assortment of merchandise, these stores offer a more limited product assortment than our stores. We believe these stores do not cater to the sports enthusiast.

Specialty and Vendor Stores

These stores generally range from 2,000 to 20,000 square feet and typically focus on a specific category, such as athletic footwear, or an activity, such as golf or skiing. Certain specialty stores that focus on a group of related activities can have significantly larger square footage footprints and be designed as destination stores. In addition, several sporting goods brands, many of which we sell in our stores, also sell their products direct to consumers through their own retail stores. While these stores may offer a deep selection of products within their specialty or across a single brand, they lack the wide range of products or brand selection that we offer. We believe prices at these stores typically tend to be higher than prices at the large format sporting goods stores and traditional sporting goods stores.

Mass Merchants

These stores generally range from 50,000 to over 200,000 square feet and are primarily located in shopping centers, freestanding sites or regional malls. Sporting goods merchandise and apparel represent a small portion of the total merchandise in these stores and the selection is often more limited than in other sporting goods retailers. We believe that this limited selection, particularly with well-known brand names, combined with the reduced service levels typical of a mass merchandiser, limit their ability to meet the needs of sporting goods customers. However, Wal-Mart is currently the largest retailer of sporting goods as measured by sales.

Internet and Catalog-Based Retailers

These retailers either focus on a specific category or activity or sell a full line of sporting goods through the use of the Internet and/or catalogs. We believe that the relationships we have developed with our suppliers and customers through our retail stores, our growing eCommerce business, our omni-channel capabilities and our merchandise offerings, including a wide range of exclusive and private brand products, provide us with a significant advantage over Internet-only and catalog-based retailers.

Employees

As of February 2, 2013, we employed approximately 11,100 full-time and 18,700 part-time associates. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, total employment will fluctuate throughout the year and typically peaks during the fourth quarter. None of our associates are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our associates are good.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Risks and Uncertainties

Our business is dependent on the general economic conditions in our markets and ongoing economic and financial uncertainties may cause a decline in consumer spending that may adversely affect the Company's business, operations, liquidity, financial results and stock price.

Our operating results are affected by the relative condition of the U.S. economy. All of our stores are currently located within the United States, making our operating results highly dependent on U.S. consumer confidence and the health of the U.S. economy. While the national economy is experiencing some level of recovery from the recent downturn, we cannot predict how robust the recovery will be or whether or not it will be sustained. If the economic recovery continues to be slow, or if the economy experiences a prolonged period of decelerating or negative growth, our results of operations may be negatively impacted.

As a business that depends on consumer discretionary spending, the Company may be adversely affected if our customers reduce, delay or forego their purchases of our products as a result of continued job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, higher consumer debt and interest rates, higher energy and fuel costs, reduced access to credit, falling home prices, lower consumer confidence, uncertainty or changes in tax policies and tax rates and uncertainty due to national or international security concerns. Decreases in same store sales, customer traffic or average value per transaction negatively affect the Company's financial performance, and a prolonged period of depressed consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on our business. Promotional activities and decreased demand for consumer products, particularly higher-end products, could affect profitability and margins. In addition, adverse economic conditions may result in an increase in our operating expenses due to, among other things, higher costs of labor, energy, equipment and facilities. Due to recent fluctuations in the U.S. economy, our sales, operating and financial results for a particular period are difficult to predict, making it difficult to forecast results to be expected in future periods. Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and could adversely affect our stock price.

Intense competition in the sporting goods industry could limit our growth and reduce our profitability.

The market for sporting goods retailers is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. Our current and prospective competitors include many large companies, some of which have greater market presence, name recognition, and financial, marketing and other resources than us. We compete, directly or indirectly, with retailers from multiple categories, including stores and chains utilizing large format, traditional and specialty formats, mass merchants, and catalog, Internet-based and direct-sell retailers. We compete principally based on customer service, store location and appearance, and assortment, quality and availability of merchandise.

Pressure from our competitors could require us to reduce our prices or increase our spending for advertising and promotion. Increased competition in our current markets or the adoption or proliferation by competitors of innovative store formats, aggressive pricing strategies and retail sale methods, such as the Internet, could cause us to lose market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, as the popularity and use of Internet sites continue to increase, our business faces increased competition from various domestic and international sources, including our suppliers. We may require significant capital in the future to sustain or grow our business, including our store and eCommerce operations, and there is no assurance that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet those needs or that additional sources of capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

14

If we are unable to predict or effectively react to changes in consumer demand or shopping patterns, we may lose customers and our sales may decline.

Our success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer demand, preferences and shopping patterns regarding sporting goods. Our products must appeal to a broad range of consumers whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject to continual change and evolution. We often make commitments to purchase products from our vendors several months in advance of the proposed delivery. If we misjudge the market for our new merchandise our sales may decline significantly. We may overstock unpopular products and be forced to take significant inventory markdowns or miss opportunities for other products, both of which could have a negative impact on our profitability. Conversely, shortages of items that prove popular could also impact our net sales. A major shift in consumer demand away from sporting goods generally could also have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, our customers are increasingly using computers, tablets, mobile phones and other devices to shop in our stores and online for our products. Omni-channel retailing is rapidly evolving and we must keep pace with consumer preferences and expectations. There are various risks relating to omni-channel retailing, including the need to keep pace with rapid technological change, internet security risks, risks of systems failure or inadequacy and increased competition. Further, governmental regulation of Internet-based commerce continues to evolve in areas such as taxation, privacy, data protection, copyrights, patents, mobile communications and the provision of online payment services. Unfavorable changes to regulations in these areas could harm our business.

Lack of available retail store sites on terms acceptable to us, rising real estate prices and other costs and risks relating to new store openings could severely limit our growth opportunities.

Our strategy includes opening stores in new and existing markets. We must successfully choose store sites, execute real estate transactions on terms that are acceptable to us, hire competent personnel and effectively open and operate these new stores. Our plans to increase our number of retail stores will depend in part on the availability of existing retail stores or store sites. A lack of available financing on terms acceptable to real estate developers or a tightening credit market may adversely affect the number or quality of retail sites available to us. We cannot assure you that stores or sites will be available to us, or that they will be available on terms acceptable to us. If additional retail store sites are unavailable on acceptable terms, we may not be able to carry out a significant part of our growth strategy. Rising real estate costs and acquisition, construction and development costs could also inhibit our ability to grow. If we fail to locate desirable sites, obtain lease rights to these sites on terms acceptable to us, hire adequate personnel and open and effectively operate these new stores, our financial performance could be adversely affected.

Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential customer information could harm the Company's business and standing with our customers.

The protection of our customer, associate and Company data is critical to us. The Company relies on commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of confidential customer information, such as payment card and personally identifiable information. Despite the security measures the Company has in place, its facilities and systems, and those of its third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming or human errors, or other similar events. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, whether by the Company or its vendors, could damage our reputation, expose us to risk of litigation and liability, disrupt our operations and harm our business.

15

Our private brand offerings expose us to various risks.

In addition to brand name products, we offer our customers private brand products that are not available from other retailers. We expect to continue to grow our exclusive private brand offerings through a combination of brands that we own and the ones that we license from third parties. We have invested in our development and procurement resources and marketing efforts relating to these private brand offerings. Although we believe that our private brand products offer value to our customers at each price point and provide us with higher gross margins than comparable products we sell, the expansion of our private brand offerings also subjects us to certain specific risks in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this section, such as: potential mandatory or voluntary product recalls; our ability to successfully protect our proprietary rights (e.g., defending against counterfeit, knock offs, grey-market, infringing or otherwise unauthorized goods); our ability to successfully navigate and avoid claims related to the proprietary rights of third parties; our ability to successfully administer and comply with obligations under license agreements that we have with the licensors of brands, including in some instances certain sales minimums that if not met could cause us to lose the licensing rights or pay damages; and other risks generally encountered by entities that source, sell and market exclusive branded offerings for retail. An increase in sales of our private brands may also adversely affect sales of our vendors' products, which may, in turn, adversely affect our relationship with our vendors. Our failure to adequately address some or all of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We rely on a single third-party provider to maintain and operate certain aspects of our www.DicksSportingGoods.com operations, and disruptions with the provider or in the services it provides to us could materially affect our reputation, operations or financial results.

We have contracted with a single third party to operate and host our DicksSportingGoods.com eCommerce website and provide related fulfillment and customer service. We rely on that party's operational, privacy and security procedures and controls to operate and host our Dick's eCommerce business. Failure by such third party to adequately service these aspects of our DicksSportingGoods.com eCommerce business could result in a prolonged disruption that affects our customers' ability to utilize our website or receive product in a timely manner. As a result, we may lose customer sales and / or experience increased costs, which could materially affect our reputation, operations or financial results.

Our ability to operate and expand our business and to respond to changing business and economic conditions will be dependent upon the availability of adequate capital. The terms of our senior secured revolving credit facility impose certain restrictions that may impair our ability to access sufficient capital.

The operation of our business, the rate of our expansion and our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions depend on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends on cash flow generated by our business and, if necessary, the availability of equity or debt capital. We cannot assure you that our cash flow will be sufficient to meet these needs or that we would be able to obtain equity or debt capital on acceptable terms or at all. Our current senior secured revolving credit facility contains provisions that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or make substantial asset sales, which might otherwise be used to finance our operations. In the event of our insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization, the lenders under our senior secured revolving credit facility would be entitled to payment in full from our assets before distributions, if any, were made to our stockholders.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations in the future, and if availability under our current senior secured revolving credit facility is not sufficient, we may have to obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that we could obtain refinancing or additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Our liquidity or access to capital could also be adversely affected by unforeseen changes in the financial markets and global economy.

16

We are subject to costs and risks associated with increased or changing laws and regulations affecting our business, including those relating to the sale of consumer products.

We operate in a complex regulatory and legal environment that exposes us to compliance and litigation risks and that could materially affect our operations and financial results. These laws may change, sometimes significantly, as a result of political, economic or social events. Some of the federal, state or local laws and regulations that affect us include:

•

those relating to consumer products, product liability or consumer protection, including regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and similar state regulatory agencies;

•

those relating to the sale of firearms and ammunition;

•

those relating to the manner in which we advertise, market or sell our products;

•

labor and employment laws, including wage and hour laws;

•

those that prohibit, limit or impose additional actions or requirements to the sale in certain areas of certain products we offer, such as firearms, ammunition or knives;

•

tax laws or interpretations thereof;

•

data protection and privacy laws and regulations;

•

environmental laws;

•

customs or import laws and regulations; and

•

securities and exchange laws and regulations.

Failure to comply with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations such as those outlined above may result in our being subject to claims, lawsuits, fines and adverse publicity that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We depend on our suppliers, distributors and manufacturers to provide us with sufficient quantities of products in a timely fashion.

We purchase merchandise from approximately 1,200 vendors. In fiscal 2012, purchases from Nike represented approximately 17% of our merchandise purchases. Although in fiscal 2012 purchases from no other vendor represented 10% or more of our total purchases, our dependence on our principal suppliers involves risk. If there is a disruption in supply from a principal supplier or distributor, we may be unable to obtain the merchandise or obtain an adequate quantity that we desire to sell and that consumers desire to purchase. Moreover, many of our suppliers provide us with incentives, such as return privileges, volume purchasing allowances and cooperative advertising. A decline or discontinuation of these incentives could reduce our profit margins. Further, to the extent our suppliers continue to be affected by ongoing economic uncertainty and other concerns relating to global economic conditions, it may have an adverse impact with respect to their respective inventory and production levels, customer incentives and vendor allowances, product quality, or ability to continue operations, all of which could ultimately have an adverse impact on our supply chain.

We may be subject to various types of litigation, including those relating to our sale of firearms and other claims, and our insurance may not be sufficient to cover damages related to those claims.

From time to time the Company or its subsidiaries may be involved in lawsuits or other claims arising in the course of business, including those related to federal or state wage and hour laws, product liability, consumer protection, advertising, employment, intellectual property, tort and other matters. We may also be subject to lawsuits relating to the design, manufacture or distribution of our private brand products.

In addition, although we do not sell hand guns, assault weapons or automatic firearms, we do sell hunting rifles, semi-automatic hunting rifles and ammunition, which are products that are associated

17

with an increased risk of injury and related lawsuits with respect to our performance of background checks on hunting rifle purchasers as mandated by state and federal law, or the improper use of hunting rifles and ammunition sold by us, including lawsuits by municipalities or other organizations attempting to recover costs from hunting rifle manufacturers and retailers relating to the misuse of hunting rifles and ammunition. In addition, any improper or illegal use by our customers of ammunition or hunting rifles sold by us could have a negative impact on our reputation and business.

We may incur losses relating to claims filed against us, including costs associated with defending against them, and there is risk that any such claims or liabilities will exceed our insurance coverage, or affect our ability to retain adequate liability insurance in the future. Although we have entered into product liability indemnity agreements with many of our vendors and manufacturers, we cannot assure you that we will be able to collect payments sufficient to offset product liability losses or, in the case of our private brand products, where almost all of the manufacturing occurs outside the United States, that we will be able to collect anything at all. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and other claims, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such matters.

If our product costs are adversely affected by foreign trade issues, currency exchange rate fluctuations, increasing prices for raw materials, political instability or other reasons, our sales and profitability may suffer.

We believe that a significant portion of the products that we purchase, including those purchased from domestic suppliers, is manufactured abroad in countries such as China, Taiwan and South Korea. In addition, most of our private brand merchandise is manufactured abroad. Foreign imports subject us to risk relating to changes in import duties, quotas, loss of "most favored nation" status with the U.S., shipment delays and shipping port constraints, labor strikes, work stoppages or other disruptions, freight cost increases and economic uncertainties. In addition, the U.S. periodically considers other restrictions on the importation of products obtained by our vendors and us. If any of these or other factors were to cause a disruption of trade from the countries in which our vendors' supplies or our private brand products manufacturers are located, our inventory levels may be reduced or the cost of our products may increase. In addition, to the extent that any foreign manufacturers from whom we directly or indirectly purchase products utilize labor and other practices that vary from those commonly accepted in the U.S., we could be hurt by any resulting negative publicity or, in some cases, face potential liability. Also, the prices charged by foreign manufacturers may be affected by the fluctuation of their local currency against the U.S. dollar. We source goods from various countries, including China, and thus changes in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies may affect the costs of goods that we purchase.

Our product costs are also affected in part by the prices for raw materials used in said products. A substantial rise in the price of one or more raw materials used in our products could dramatically increase the costs associated with the manufacturing of merchandise that we purchase from our vendors for sale in our stores, as well as products manufactured for our private brands, which could cause the cost of our products to increase and could potentially have a negative impact on our sales and profitability.

Historically, political or economic instability in the countries from which our products originate has not had a material adverse effect on our operations. However, we cannot predict the effect that future changes in economic or political conditions in such foreign countries may have on our operations.

The loss of our key executives, especially Edward W. Stack, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, could have a material adverse effect on our business due to the loss of their experience and industry relationships.

Our success depends on the continued services of our senior management, particularly Edward W. Stack, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Stack also holds a majority of the voting power of our capital stock, and has been operating the Company since 1984. Mr. Stack possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company and its businesses.

18

If we were to lose any key senior executive, especially Mr. Stack, our business could be materially adversely affected.

Our inability or failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or any claimed infringement by us of third party intellectual rights could have a negative impact on our operating results.

Our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, domain names and other intellectual property are valuable assets that are critical to our success. Effective trademark and other intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which our products are manufactured or may be made available. The unauthorized reproduction or other misappropriation of our intellectual property could diminish the value of our brands or goodwill and cause a decline in our revenue. In addition, any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us, whether or not it has merit, could be time-consuming to address, result in costly litigation, cause product delays, require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements or result in our loss of ownership or use of the intellectual property. As a result, any such claim or our failure to protect our intellectual property could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Problems with our information system software could disrupt our operations and negatively impact our financial results and materially adversely affect our business operations.

Our Dick's and Golf Galaxy stores utilize a suite of applications from JDA for our core merchandising, allocation and replenishment systems. These systems, if not functioning properly, could disrupt our operations, including our ability to track, record and analyze the merchandise that we sell, process shipments of goods, process financial information or credit card transactions, deliver products or engage in similar normal business activities. Any material disruption, malfunction or other similar problems in or with these systems could negatively impact our financial results and materially adversely affect our business operations.

We may be unable to attract, train, engage and retain qualified leaders and associates.

The training and development of our future leaders and key personnel is important to our long-term success. If we do not effectively implement our strategic and business planning processes to attract, retain, train and develop future leaders, our business may suffer. In addition, stores depend significantly on our ability to hire and retain quality associates, including store managers and sales associates. We plan to expand our associate base to manage our anticipated growth. The market for non-entry level personnel, particularly for associates with retail expertise, is highly competitive. Additionally, our ability to maintain consistency in the quality of customer service in our stores is critical to our success. We are also dependent on the associates who staff our distribution centers, many of whom are skilled. We may be unable to meet our leadership needs or our labor needs. If we are unable to train and develop future leaders and key personnel, or hire and retain store-level and distribution center associates capable of providing a high level of customer service, our business could be materially adversely affected.

We rely on four distribution centers, and if there is a natural disaster or other serious disruption at one or more of these facilities, we may lose merchandise and be unable to effectively deliver it to our stores.

We currently operate a 725,000 square foot distribution center in Plainfield, Indiana, a 657,000 square foot distribution center near Atlanta, Georgia, a 601,000 square foot distribution center in Smithton, Pennsylvania and a 624,000 square foot distribution center in Goodyear, Arizona. Any natural disaster or other serious disruption to one of these facilities due to fire, tornado or any other cause could damage a material portion of our inventory or impair our ability to adequately stock our stores and process returns of products to vendors, and could negatively affect our sales and profitability. In addition, as we grow, we may require additional distribution capacity, which could come in the form of expanding existing facilities or opening alternative or additional facilities. Any future expansions or other openings, could affect us in ways we cannot predict.

19

Poor performance of professional sports teams within our core regions of operation, as well as professional team lockouts or strikes, retirement of sports superstars or scandals involving sports superstars could adversely affect our financial results.

We sell a significant amount of professional sports team merchandise, the sale of which may be subject to fluctuations based on the success or failure of such teams. The poor performance by the professional sports teams within our core regions of operations, as well as professional team lockouts and strikes, could cause our financial results to fluctuate accordingly year over year. In addition, to the extent we use sports superstars to market our products and advertise our stores, the retirement of such individuals or scandals they may be implicated in could negatively impact our financial results.

The relative seasonality of our operations, along with the current geographic concentrations of our Dick's Stores, exposes us to certain risks.

A majority of our Dick's stores are located in the eastern half of the United States, which exposes us to various regional risks, including those relating to weather conditions. Many of our stores are located in geographic areas that experience seasonably cold weather, and we sell a significant amount of cold weather sporting goods and apparel. Our highest sales and operating income results historically occur during our fourth fiscal quarter, which is due, in part, to the holiday selling season and, in part, to our strong sales of cold weather sporting goods and apparel. Abnormally warm weather conditions could reduce our sales of these items and cause a decrease in our profitability. The fourth quarter generated approximately 31% of our net sales for fiscal 2012. Poor performance during our fourth quarter, whether because of a slow holiday selling season, unseasonable weather conditions, economic conditions or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results for the entire fiscal year. Additionally, abnormally wet or cold weather in the spring or summer months could reduce our sales of golf, team sports or other merchandise and cause a decrease in our profitability.

We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments and the failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results or the inability to fully integrate the acquired companies could have an adverse impact on our business.

We may from time to time acquire or invest in complementary companies or businesses. The success of such acquisitions or investments is based on our ability to make accurate assumptions regarding the valuation, operations, growth potential, integration and other factors relating to the respective business. There can be no assurance that our acquisitions or investments will produce the results that we expect at the time we enter into or we complete the transaction. For example, we may not be able to capitalize on previously anticipated synergies. Furthermore, acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses or write-offs of goodwill or other intangibles, any of which could harm our financial condition. We also may not be able to successfully integrate operations that we acquire, including their personnel, financial systems, supply chain and other operations, which could adversely affect our business. Acquisitions may also result in the diversion of our capital and our management's attention from other business issues and opportunities.

We are controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his relatives, whose interests may differ from other stockholders.

We have two classes of common stock: our common stock has one vote per share and our Class B common stock has 10 votes per share. As of February 2, 2013, Mr. Edward W. Stack, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and his relatives controlled a majority of the combined voting power of our common stock and Class B common stock and would control the outcome of a vote on any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The interests of Mr. Stack and his relatives may differ from the interests of our other stockholders and they may take actions with which our other stockholders disagree.

20

Our anti-takeover provisions could prevent or delay a change in control of our Company, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws as well as provisions of Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our Company, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include: authorizing the issuance of Class B common stock; classifying the board of directors such that only one-third of directors are elected each year; authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt; prohibiting the use of cumulative voting for the election of directors; limiting the ability of stockholders to call special meetings; if our Class B common stock is no longer outstanding, prohibiting stockholder action by partial written consent and requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders or by unanimous written consent; and establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law, to which we are subject, prohibits us, except under specified circumstances, from engaging in any mergers, significant sales of stock or assets or business combinations with any stockholder or group of stockholders who owns at least 15% of our common stock.

We cannot provide any guaranty of future dividend payments or that we will continue to repurchase our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program.

Although our board of directors has indicated an intention to pay future quarterly cash dividends on our common stock, any determination to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be based primarily upon our financial condition, results of operations, business requirements, and the continuing determination from our Board of Directors that the declaration of dividends is in the best interests of our stockholders and is in compliance with all laws and agreements applicable to the dividend. Furthermore, although we have authorized a five-year $1 billion share repurchase program, we are not obligated to make any purchases under the program and we may discontinue it at any time.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

On May 7, 2012, the Company purchased its corporate headquarters building in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, pursuant to a purchase option included in its pre-existing lease agreement. The Company is a direct tenant of Allegheny County Airport Authority pursuant to an underlying ground lease. The property consists of approximately 670,000 square feet of office space.

We currently lease a 725,000 square foot distribution center in Plainfield, Indiana, a 657,000 square foot distribution center near Atlanta, Georgia and a 601,000 square foot distribution center in Smithton, Pennsylvania. The terms of these leases expire in 2022, 2021 and 2025, respectively. During fiscal 2012, the Company completed construction of its 624,000 square foot distribution center in Goodyear, Arizona, which became operational in January 2013. The Company owns this distribution center.

We lease all of our stores. Initial lease terms are generally for ten years, and most leases contain multiple five-year renewal options and rent escalation provisions. We believe that our leases, when entered into, are at market rate rents. We generally select a new store site nine to 18 months before its

21

opening. Our stores are primarily located in shopping centers in regional shopping areas, as well as in freestanding locations and in malls.

As of February 2, 2013, we operated 599 stores in 44 states. The following table sets forth the number of stores by state:

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Item 6, "Selected Financial Data" and our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See "Forward-Looking Statements" and Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors".

Overview

Dick's is an authentic full-line sports and fitness omni-channel retailer offering a broad assortment of high quality, competitively priced brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment. The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy, LLC, a golf specialty retailer ("Golf Galaxy"). As of February 2, 2013, we operated 518 Dick's stores in 44 states and 81 Golf Galaxy stores in 30 states, with approximately 29.6 million square feet on a consolidated basis, the majority of which are located throughout the eastern half of the United States.

The primary factors that historically influenced the Company's profitability and success have been the growth in its number of stores and selling square footage, positive same store sales and its strong gross profit margins. In the last five years, the Company has grown from 355 Dick's stores at the end of fiscal 2007 to 518 Dick's stores at the end of fiscal 2012. The Company continues to expand its presence through the opening of new stores and believes it has the potential to reach approximately 1,100 Dick's locations across the United States.

26

In order to monitor the Company's success, the Company's senior management monitors certain key performance indicators, including:

•

Consolidated same store sales performance – Fiscal 2012 consolidated same store sales increased 4.3% compared to a 2.0% increase in fiscal 2011. The Company believes that its ability to consistently deliver increases in consolidated same store sales will be a key factor in achieving its targeted levels of earnings per share growth and continuing its store expansion and omni-channel development programs.

•

Operating cash flow – The Company generated $438.3 million of cash flow from operations in fiscal 2012 compared to $410.4 million in fiscal 2011. See the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section herein for further discussion of the Company's cash flows. The Company believes that a key strength of its business has been the ability to consistently generate positive cash flow from operations. Strong cash flow generation is critical to the future success of the Company, not only to support the general operating needs of the Company, but also to fund capital expenditures related to its store network, distribution and administrative facilities, costs associated with continued improvement of information technology tools, costs associated with potential strategic acquisitions that may arise from time to time and stockholder return initiatives, including cash dividends and share repurchases.

•

Quality of merchandise offerings – To monitor and maintain acceptance of its merchandise offerings, the Company monitors sell-throughs, inventory turns, gross margins and markdown rates on a department and style level. This analysis helps the Company manage inventory levels to reduce cash flow 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, the Company monitors various indicators, including new store productivity, sales per square foot, store operating contribution margin and store cash flow. New store productivity compares the sales increase for all stores not included in the same store sales calculation with the increase in square footage.

Executive Summary

•

Net income for the 53 weeks ended February 2, 2013 increased 10% to $290.7 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $263.9 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, during the 52 weeks ended January 28, 2012.

•

Fiscal 2012 net income included a charge of $27.6 million, net of tax, or $0.22 per diluted share related to the Company's impairment of its investment in JJB Sports plc ("JJB Sports").

•

Fiscal 2011 net income included a gain on sale of investment of $8.7 million, net of tax, or $0.07 per diluted share and an increase to net income of $1.3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from a partial reversal of litigation settlement costs previously accrued during fiscal 2010.

•

Net sales increased 12% to $5,836.1 million in fiscal 2012 from $5,211.8 million in fiscal 2011 due primarily to a 4.3% increase in consolidated same store sales on a 52-week to 52-week basis, growth of our store network and the inclusion of the 53^rd week of sales.

•

Gross profit increased to 31.48% in fiscal 2012 as a percentage of net sales from 30.60% in fiscal 2011 due primarily to leverage of fixed occupancy costs and higher merchandise margins.

•

In fiscal 2012, the Company:

•

Declared aggregate cash dividends of $2.50 per share, including a special cash dividend in the amount of $2.00 per share.

•

Augmented its private brand portfolio through the acquisition of the Top-Flite brand. The Company acquired all Top-Flite trademarks and service marks world-wide.

27

•

Made a £20 million investment in JJB Sports, purchasing £18.75 million of junior secured convertible notes and 12.5 million ordinary shares of JJB Sports for £1.25 million, for a total investment of $32.0 million. The Company fully impaired its investment in its second fiscal quarter, as further described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

•

Purchased its corporate headquarters building for $133.4 million, which included closing costs. The Company funded the purchase with cash on hand.

•

Completed its previously announced share repurchase program. In total, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of its common stock for approximately $200 million. The Company funded the repurchase program from cash on hand.

•

Agreed to purchase the intellectual property rights to the Field & Stream mark in the hunting, fishing, camping and paddle categories for $24.5 million.

•

Completed construction of a fourth distribution center in Goodyear, Arizona, which we expect will increase the Company's total distribution capacity to approximately 750 stores. This distribution center became operational in January 2013.

Additionally, fiscal 2012 included approximately $0.03 per diluted share for the 53^rd week. Fiscal 2011 net income included a gain on sale of investment of $8.7 million, net of tax, or $0.07 per diluted share and an increase to net income of $1.3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from a partial reversal of litigation settlement costs previously accrued during fiscal 2010.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 12% to $5,836.1 million in fiscal 2012 from $5,211.8 million in fiscal 2011 due primarily to a 4.3% increase in consolidated same store sales on a 52-week to 52-week basis, growth of our store network and the inclusion of the 53^rd week of sales. The 4.3% consolidated same store sales increase consisted of a 2.4% increase at Dick's Sporting Goods stores, a 5.5% increase at Golf Galaxy and a 48.5% increase in the Company's eCommerce business. The inclusion of the eCommerce business resulted in an increase of approximately 166 basis points to the Company's consolidated same store sales calculation for fiscal 2012.

The increase in consolidated same store sales was broad based, with larger increases in athletic apparel, hunting, athletic footwear, golf, accessories and team sports, partially offset by a sales decrease in outerwear and cold weather accessories due to a second consecutive warm winter season and a decline

29

in sales of large fitness equipment, like treadmills and ellipticals. The same store sales increase at Dick's stores was driven by an increase in sales per transaction of approximately 3.3%, offset by a decrease in transactions of approximately 0.9% at Dick's stores. Every 1% change in consolidated same store sales would have impacted fiscal 2012 earnings before income taxes by approximately $17 million.

Store Count

During 2012, we opened 38 new Dick's stores, relocated five Dick's stores and repositioned one Golf Galaxy store, resulting in an ending store count of 599 stores with approximately 29.6 million square feet in 44 states.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased $91.7 million to $523.7 million in fiscal 2012 from $432.0 million in fiscal 2011.

Gross profit increased 15% to $1,837.2 million in fiscal 2012 from $1,594.9 million in fiscal 2011. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 31.48% in fiscal 2012 from 30.60% in fiscal 2011. The 88 basis point increase is due primarily to a 58 basis point decrease in fixed occupancy costs resulting primarily from the leverage on the increase in sales compared to last year, including 13 basis points due to the inclusion of sales from the 53^rd week and merchandise margin expansion of 40 basis points that resulted from our continued inventory management efforts. Every 10 basis point change in merchandise margin would have impacted fiscal 2012 earnings before income taxes by approximately $6 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13% to $1,297.4 million in fiscal 2012 from $1,148.3 million in fiscal 2011, representing a 20 basis point increase as a percentage of net sales. Administrative expenses increased 54 basis points as a percentage of net sales as a result of payroll increases relative to sales, charitable contributions made this fiscal year and last year's partial reversal of previously accrued litigation settlement costs. Higher administrative expenses were substantially offset by a 16 basis point reduction in both store payroll expenses and advertising expenses from fiscal 2011 due to leverage on the increase in net sales this year.

Pre-opening expenses increased $1.5 million to $16.1 million in fiscal 2012 from $14.6 million in fiscal 2011. Pre-opening expenses were for the opening of 38 new Dick's stores as well as the relocation of five Dick's stores and the repositioning of one Golf Galaxy store in fiscal 2012 compared to the opening of 36 new Dick's stores as well as the relocation of one Golf Galaxy store in fiscal 2011. Pre-opening expenses in any year fluctuate depending on the timing and number of store openings and relocations.

Gain on Sale of Investment

Gain on sale of investment was $13.9 million in fiscal 2011 resulting from the sale of the Company's remaining investment in GSI Commerce, Inc., the Company's eCommerce service provider.

Impairment of Available-for-Sale Investments

Impairment of available-for-sale investments was $32.4 million in fiscal 2012 resulting from the full impairment of the Company's investment in JJB Sports, as further described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $6.0 million for fiscal 2012 compared to $13.9 million for fiscal 2011. Interest expense included rent payments under the Company's financing lease for its corporate headquarters building for fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 of $2.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense reflected the Company's purchase of its corporate headquarters building on

30

May 7, 2012, as further described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company did not have any borrowings under its revolving credit facility in fiscal 2012 or 2011.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 40.7% for fiscal 2012 as compared to 38.9% for fiscal 2011. The Company determined that a valuation allowance totaling $7.9 million was required for a portion of the deferred tax asset related to a $32.4 million net capital loss carry-forward resulting from the impairment of its investment in JJB Sports, as the Company does not believe that it is "more likely than not" that the Company will generate sufficient capital gains in future periods to recognize that portion of the expected net capital loss.

Fiscal 2011 Compared to Fiscal 2010

Net Income

The Company reported net income for the year ended January 28, 2012 of $263.9 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $182.1 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, in fiscal 2010. Fiscal 2011 net income included a gain on sale of investment of $8.7 million, net of tax, or $0.07 per diluted share and an increase to net income of $1.3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share, resulting from a partial reversal of litigation settlement costs previously accrued during fiscal 2010. Fiscal 2010 net income included expenses relating to future lease payments and asset impairment charges resulting from the closure of 12 underperforming Golf Galaxy stores of approximately $9.8 million, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share and a litigation settlement charge of approximately $6.5 million, net of tax, or $0.05 per diluted share.

Net Sales

Net sales increased 7% to $5,211.8 million in fiscal 2011 from $4,871.5 million in fiscal 2010 due primarily to a 2.0% increase in consolidated same store sales and the growth of our store network. The 2.0% consolidated same store sales increase consisted of a 0.8% increase in Dick's Sporting Goods stores, a 4.3% increase in Golf Galaxy and a 36.4% increase in eCommerce. The inclusion of the eCommerce business resulted in an increase of approximately 100 basis points to the Company's consolidated same store sales calculation for fiscal 2011.

The increase in consolidated same store sales was broad based, with increases in apparel, footwear, team sports and golf. The same store sales increase at Dick's stores was driven by an increase in sales per transaction of approximately 2.4%, offset by a decrease in transactions of approximately 1.6% at Dick's stores. Every 1% change in consolidated same store sales would have impacted fiscal 2011 earnings before income taxes by approximately $15 million.

Store Count

During 2011, we opened 36 Dick's stores and relocated one Golf Galaxy store, resulting in an ending store count of 561 stores with approximately 27.6 million square feet in 43 states.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased $122.8 million to $432.0 million in fiscal 2011 from $309.2 million in fiscal 2010.

Gross profit increased 10% to $1,594.9 million in fiscal 2011 from $1,449.0 million in fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 30.60% in fiscal 2011 from 29.75% in fiscal 2010. The 85 basis point increase is due primarily to a 68 basis point increase in merchandise margin that resulted from our continued inventory management efforts, evidenced by less clearance activity compared with last year and changes in sales mix at our Dick's stores. Gross profit was further impacted by a 36 basis

31

point decrease in fixed occupancy costs resulting primarily from leverage on the increase in consolidated same store sales compared to fiscal 2010. Every 10 basis point change in merchandise margin would have impacted fiscal 2011 earnings before income taxes by approximately $5 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2% to $1,148.3 million in fiscal 2011 from $1,129.3 million in fiscal 2010, but decreased as a percentage of net sales by 115 basis points. Fiscal 2010 included expenses totaling $16.4 million relating to future lease obligations and asset impairment charges resulting from the closure of 12 underperforming Golf Galaxy stores, which contributed 34 basis points as a percentage of net sales to the total decrease. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company transferred funds in final satisfaction of its obligations under a court approved settlement of a wage and hour class action lawsuit. The settlement funding was $2.1 million lower than the previous estimate of $10.8 million, recognized in fiscal 2010. In total, this legal settlement contributed 26 basis points to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses from fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net sales, advertising and store payroll expenses decreased 20 basis points and 17 basis points from fiscal 2010, respectively, due to leverage on the increase in net sales in fiscal 2011.

Pre-opening expenses increased $4.1 million to $14.6 million in fiscal 2011 from $10.5 million in fiscal 2010. Pre-opening expenses were for the opening of 36 new Dick's stores as well as the relocation of one Golf Galaxy store in fiscal 2011 compared to the opening of 26 new Dick's stores and two new Golf Galaxy stores and the relocation of two Dick's stores in fiscal 2010. Pre-opening expenses in any year fluctuate depending on the timing and number of store openings and relocations.

Gain on Sale of Investment

Gain on sale of investment was $13.9 million in fiscal 2011 resulting from the sale of the Company's remaining investment in GSI Commerce, Inc., the Company's eCommerce service provider.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $13.9 million for fiscal 2011 compared to $14.0 million for fiscal 2010. Interest expense for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 included $10.6 million related to rent payments under the Company's financing lease for its corporate headquarters building. The Company did not make any borrowings under its revolving credit facility in fiscal 2011 or 2010.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 38.9% for fiscal 2011 as compared to 38.8% for fiscal 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company's liquidity and capital needs have generally been met by cash from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2012 was $438.3 million compared to $410.4 million for fiscal 2011. Net cash from operating, investing and financing activities are discussed further below.

The Company has a $500 million revolving credit facility, including up to $100 million in the form of letters of credit, in the event further liquidity is needed. Under the credit agreement governing the facility (the "Credit Agreement"), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may request an increase of up to $250 million in borrowing availability.

The Credit Agreement, which matures on December 5, 2016, is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets, including receivables, inventory, deposit accounts and other personal property of the Company and is guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are, at the Company's option, a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage.

32

The applicable margin percentage for base rate loans is 0.20% to 0.50% and for adjusted LIBOR rate loans is 1.20% to 1.50%, depending on the borrowing availability of the Company.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make certain investments; sell assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted availability of 7.5% of its borrowing base.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of February 2, 2013 or January 28, 2012. As of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, total remaining borrowing capacity, after subtracting letters of credit, was $488.7 million and $478.8 million, respectively.

Normal capital requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures related to the addition of new stores, remodeling and relocating existing stores, enhancing information technology and improving distribution infrastructure. The Company has a capital appropriations committee that approves all capital expenditures in excess of certain amounts and groups and prioritizes all capital projects among required, discretionary and strategic categories.

Store and distribution infrastructure – The Company completed its plan to open 38 new Dick's stores, relocate five Dick's stores and reposition one Golf Galaxy store during fiscal 2012, all of which the Company leased.

Additionally, the Company completed construction of its 624,000 square foot distribution center in Goodyear, Arizona during fiscal 2012. The distribution center became operational in January 2013 and is expected to increase the Company's total distribution capacity to approximately 750 stores. The Company owns this distribution center.

Share repurchases – On January 11, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a one-year share repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company's common stock, which was completed on May 14, 2012. During fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of its common stock for $198.8 million.

Strategic investments

•

On March 30, 2012, the Company purchased the intellectual property rights to the Top-Flite brand from Callaway Golf Company for $20.0 million. The intellectual property rights acquired include all Top-Flite trademarks and service marks world-wide.

•

On April 27, 2012, the Company made a £20 million investment in JJB Sports. Under the terms of the JJB Sports agreement, the Company purchased £18.75 million in junior secured convertible notes and 12.5 million ordinary shares of JJB Sports for £1.25 million, for a total cash outlay of $32.0 million.

•

On August 1, 2012, the Company agreed to purchase the intellectual property rights to the Field & Stream mark in the hunting, fishing, camping and paddle categories for $24.5 million. The Company previously licensed these rights since 2007. The Company made an initial $10.0 million payment on August 1, 2012.

Corporate headquarters – On May 7, 2012, the Company purchased its corporate headquarters building which it had previously leased, for $133.4 million, including closing costs. The Company financed this purchase with cash on hand.

Dividends – During the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, the Company paid $307.0 million of dividends to its stockholders, including a special dividend in the amount of $2.00 per share. 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 the final determination of the Board, and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

Fiscal 2013

•

The Company currently expects capital expenditures, net of deferred construction allowances and proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions, to be approximately $258 million in fiscal 2013. The Company plans to make substantial capital investments in its business in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. These investments include growing our omni-channel platform, implementing new systems, developing new retail concepts and store-related capital expenditures. Store-related capital expenditures are expected to nearly double from fiscal 2012, due to anticipated investments in new and relocated stores and further upgrades to some of our existing stores to improve the shopping experience for our customers.

•

The Company plans to open approximately 40 new Dick's stores and relocate one Dick's store during fiscal 2013. The Company also expects to open one new Golf Galaxy store and relocate one Golf Galaxy store in fiscal 2013, both of which will be in a new, larger format. The Company plans to lease all of these stores.

•

The Company expects to open two new True Runner stores and two new Field & Stream stores in 2013. The Company plans to lease all of these stores.

•

The Company plans to fully remodel four Dick's stores in 2013. We did not remodel any stores in 2012 as we were finalizing our new prototype store.

•

The Company plans to partially remodel 75 Dick's stores in 2013. The partial remodel will focus on strategic growth categories, and when completed, will feature Nike and Under Armour shops.

•

In 2013, we plan to accelerate the pace of new vendor shops by adding approximately 100 Nike Fieldhouse shops, 70 Under Armour All American shops and 65 adidas shops. We are also working closely with The North Face to add new shops in conjunction with store remodels as well as elevate their branding in our seasonally expanded shops.

•

We plan to install shared service footwear decks in all new and fully remodeled stores in 2013.

•

On March 7, 2013, our Board authorized a five-year share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of the Company's common stock. The Company currently expects to finance the repurchases from cash on hand and if necessary, availability under its Credit Agreement.

•

The Company believes that cash flows generated by operations and funds available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our current capital requirements through fiscal 2013. Other investment opportunities, such as potential strategic acquisitions or store expansion rates in excess of those presently planned, may require additional funding.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents are as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ended
	February 2, 2013			January 28, 2012			January 29, 2011
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	438,284		$	410,421		$	389,967
Net cash used in investing activities		(324,354	)		(199,616	)		(161,135	)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(6	)		(4	)		18
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(389,188	)	$	188,350		$	320,441

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations is seasonal in our business. Typically, we use cash flow from operations to increase inventory in advance of peak selling seasons, with the pre-Christmas inventory increase being the largest. In the fourth quarter, inventory levels are reduced in connection with Christmas sales and this inventory reduction, combined with proportionately higher net income, typically produces significant positive cash flow.

Operating activities consist primarily of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, tax benefits on stock options as well as non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of the Company's assets. Changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily reflect changes in inventories, accounts payable, income taxes payable/receivable as well as other working capital changes.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $27.9 million in fiscal 2012 to $438.3 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is due primarily to a $26.8 million increase in net income, an increase in operating assets and liabilities of $6.3 million, offset by a $5.2 million decrease in non-cash items. The increase in operating assets and liabilities year-over-year is primarily due to the following:

•

Cash flows provided by changes in inventory and accounts payable decreased $50.6 million compared to fiscal 2011. Fiscal 2012 accounts payable was lower due to the timing of inventory receipts resulting from the calendar shift caused by the 53^rd week.

•

Changes in accrued expenses for fiscal 2012 improved operating cash flows by $15.8 million compared to fiscal 2011. The change was primarily due to higher employee-related liabilities and additional retirement plan Company matching contributions from the end of fiscal 2010 that were subsequently paid in fiscal 2011 compared to those balances accrued at the end of fiscal 2011 and subsequently paid in fiscal 2012.

•

Changes in income taxes payable/receivable for fiscal 2012 improved operating cash flows by $37.4 million compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Income tax payments in 2012 were favorably impacted by the timing of implementation of a tax election to deduct certain repair and maintenance costs.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2012 increased by $124.7 million, to $324.4 million. The Company's gross capital expenditures were $219.0 million during fiscal 2012 compared to $201.8 million during fiscal 2011, which related primarily to the opening of new and relocated stores, construction of the Company's new distribution center in Goodyear, Arizona and investments in existing store locations and information systems. The Company opened 38 Dick's stores, relocated five Dick's stores and relocated one Golf Galaxy store during fiscal 2012, compared to opening 36 Dick's stores, remodeling 14 Dick's stores, and relocating one Golf Galaxy store in fiscal 2011. The remaining increase in cash used was due primarily to the Company's strategic investments.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2012 totaled $503.1 million, compared to $22.5 million in fiscal 2011. The increase in cash used primarily reflects the impact of the Company's stockholder return initiatives, including its share repurchase program and cash dividend payments as well as the Company's purchase of its corporate headquarters building for $133.4 million, including closing costs, which was recognized as a financing lease prior to the Company's exercise of its purchase option on May 7, 2012. These uses of cash were partially offset by higher proceeds from exercises of stock options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company's off-balance sheet contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of February 2, 2013 relate to operating lease obligations, future minimum guaranteed contractual payments and letters of credit. The Company has excluded these items from the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company does not believe that any of these arrangements have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or resources.

The Company expects to fund these commitments primarily with operating cash flows generated in the normal course of business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Critical accounting policies are those that the Company believes are both most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations, and require the Company's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

The Company considers the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing its consolidated financial statements.

Inventory Valuation

The Company values inventory using the lower of weighted average cost or market method. Market price is generally based on the current selling price of the merchandise. The Company regularly reviews inventories to determine if the carrying value of the inventory exceeds market value and the Company records a reserve to reduce the carrying value to its market price, as necessary. Historically, the Company has rarely experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence or slow moving inventory. However, future changes, such as customer merchandise preference, unseasonable weather patterns, economic conditions or business trends could cause the Company's inventory to be exposed to obsolescence or slow moving merchandise.

Shrink expense is accrued as a percentage of merchandise sales based on historical shrink trends. The Company performs physical inventories at the stores and distribution centers throughout the year. The reserve for shrink represents an estimate for shrink for each of the Company's locations since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date. Estimates by location and in the aggregate are impacted by internal and external factors and may vary significantly from actual results.

Vendor Allowances

Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors relating to the purchase of merchandise inventories are treated as a reduction of inventory and reduce cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts. On an annual basis at the end of the year, the Company confirms earned allowances with vendors to ensure the amounts are recorded in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill, indefinite-lived and other finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. Our evaluation for impairment requires accounting judgments and financial estimates in determining the fair value of the reporting unit. If these judgments or estimates change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

37

When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than not" less than the carrying value. If so, we proceed to step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, in which we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If not, then performance of the two-step goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value, an impairment charge to current operations is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flow and a market value approach. The Company's estimates may differ from actual results due to, among other things, economic conditions, changes to its business models, or changes in operating performance. Significant differences between these estimates and actual results could result in future impairment charges and could materially affect the Company's future financial results. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill. This includes valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the impaired reporting unit based on their fair value and determining the fair value of the impaired reporting unit's goodwill based upon the residual of the aggregate identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities.

Intangible assets that have been determined to have indefinite lives are also not subject to amortization and are reviewed at least annually for potential impairment, or more frequently as mentioned above. The fair value of the Company's intangible assets are estimated and compared to their carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of these intangible assets based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these types of assets. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and trends, royalty rates in the category of intellectual property, discount rates and other variables. The Company recognizes an impairment charge when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves

The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Assets are reviewed at the lowest level for which cash flows can be identified, which is the store level. In determining future cash flows, significant estimates are made by the Company with respect to future operating results of each store over its remaining lease term. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Based on an analysis of current and future store performance, management periodically evaluates the need to close underperforming stores. Reserves are established when the Company ceases to use the location for the present value of any remaining operating lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income. If the timing or amount of actual sublease income differs from estimated amounts, this could result in an increase or decrease in the related reserves.

Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions.

38

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with fair value recognition provisions, under which the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them ("expected term"), the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term and the expected dividend yield. In addition, we estimate the number of awards that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements ("forfeitures") and recognize expense for those stock awards expected to vest. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company only recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in our subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Income.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of recent accounting pronouncements. We do not expect these recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity in future periods.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility to support potential liquidity and capital needs. Our interest rate under the Credit Agreement is benchmarked to, at the Company's option, a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage. There were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement or the Company's prior revolving credit facility in fiscal 2012 or 2011.

The Company holds highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase that are classified as cash equivalents. We had cash equivalent investments at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, totaling $259.0 million and $74.6 million, respectively. Since these investments are short term in nature, changes in interest rates generally would not have a material impact on the valuation of these investments. During fiscal 2012 and 2011, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have materially affected our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our products and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales if the selling prices of our products do not increase with inflation.

39

Tax Matters

Presently, the Company does not believe that there are any tax matters that could materially affect the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

The Company's business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of the Company's net sales and profits are realized during the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year, which is due in part to the holiday selling season and in part to sales of cold weather sporting goods and apparel. Any decrease in fiscal fourth quarter sales, whether because of a slow holiday selling season, unseasonable weather conditions or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results for the entire fiscal year.

None.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of February 2, 2013, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes: maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of Company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

40

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 2, 2013.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting included on the following page of this document.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 2, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Control Systems

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 error or mistake. 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 error 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of February 2, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 2, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended February 2, 2013 of the Company and our report dated March 22, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 2, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 2, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of February 2, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 22, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Operations – Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is an authentic, full-line sports and fitness omni-channel retailer offering a broad assortment of high-quality, competitively priced brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment.

Fiscal Year – The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the end of January. Fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010 ended on February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012, and January 29, 2011, respectively. All fiscal years presented include 52 weeks of operations except fiscal 2012, which includes 53 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation – The Consolidated Financial Statements include Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are considered Level 1 investments and totaled $259.0 million and $74.6 million at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Interest income from cash equivalents was $1.0 million, $0.3 million, and $0.5 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Cash Management – The Company's cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Accounts payable at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012 include $91.7 million and $81.6 million, respectively, of checks drawn in excess of cash balances not yet presented for payment.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists principally of amounts receivable from vendors and landlords. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.7 million and $2.4 million as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory cost consists of the direct cost of merchandise including freight. Inventories are net of shrinkage, obsolescence, other valuation accounts and vendor allowances totaling $78.5 million and $69.2 million at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include capitalized leases. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	40 years
Leasehold improvements	10-25 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-7 years

For leasehold improvements and property and equipment under capital lease agreements, depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful

53

DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

lives of the assets or the lease term. Leasehold improvements made significantly after the initial lease term are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured. Depreciation expense was $123.3 million, $111.7 million, and $106.1 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets to assess whether the carrying values have been impaired whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus eventual net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques.

The Company recognizes a liability for costs associated with closed or relocated premises when the Company ceases to use the location. The calculation of accrued lease termination and other costs primarily includes future minimum lease payments, maintenance costs and taxes from the date of closure or relocation to the end of the remaining lease term, net of contractual or estimated sublease income. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. The assumptions used in the calculation of the accrued lease termination and other costs are evaluated each quarter.

Goodwill – Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired entities. The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than not" less than the carrying value. If so, we proceed to step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, in which we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If not, then performance of the two-step goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value, an impairment charge to current operations is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management.

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and acquired trade names with indefinite lives, which are tested for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. The Company's finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of favorable lease assets and other acquisition related assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and are reviewed for impairment when factors indicate that an impairment may have occurred.

Gain on Sale of Investment – During fiscal 2011, the Company realized a pre-tax gain of $13.9 million resulting from the sale of its remaining available-for-sale securities held in GSI Commerce, Inc. ("GSI"), in connection with GSI's acquisition by eBay, Inc. Prior to the sale of investment, the investment was carried at fair value within other assets and unrealized holding gains and losses on the stock were included in other comprehensive income and reflected as a component of stockholders' equity. There were no sales of the Company's investment in GSI during fiscal 2010. Gross unrealized holding gains at January 29, 2011 were $10.5 million.

DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Self-Insurance – The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions.

Pre-opening Expenses – Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs, are expensed as incurred.

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, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock and warrants.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company has the ability to grant restricted shares of common stock and stock options to purchase common stock under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan. We record stock-based compensation expenses based on the fair value of stock awards at the grant date and recognize the expense over the related service period.

Income Taxes – The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes and provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the amounts reported for assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and for income tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition – Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Service-related revenue is recognized as the services are performed. 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") are deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income within selling, general and administrative expenses at the point at which redemption becomes remote. The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption becomes remote.

Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, inventory shrinkage and obsolescence, freight, distribution and store occupancy costs. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company's corporate headquarters.

55

DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Advertising Costs – Production costs of advertising and the costs to run the advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement takes place. Advertising expense, net of cooperative advertising, was $201.0 million, $187.4 million, and $185.2 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Vendor Allowances – Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors relating to the purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts. On an annual basis at the end of the fiscal year, the Company confirms earned allowances with vendors to determine that the amounts are recorded in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Segment Information – The Company is a specialty retailer that offers a broad range of products in its specialty retail stores primarily in the eastern United States. Given the economic characteristics of the store formats, the similar nature of the products sold, the type of customer, and method of distribution, the Company's operating segments are aggregated within one reportable segment. The following table sets forth the approximate amount of net sales attributable to hardlines, apparel and footwear for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

	Fiscal Year
	2012		2011		2010
Hardlines	$	2,964	$	2,695	$	2,588
Apparel		1,685		1,504		1,382
Footwear		1,150		982		870
Other		37		31		31
Total net sales	$	5,836	$	5,212	$	4,871

Construction Allowances – All of the Company's store locations are leased. The Company may receive reimbursement from a landlord for some of the cost of the structure, subject to satisfactory fulfillment of applicable lease provisions. These reimbursements may be referred to as tenant allowances, construction allowances or landlord reimbursements ("construction allowances").

The Company's accounting for construction allowances differs if the Company is deemed to be the owner of the asset during the construction period. Some of the Company's leases have a cap on the construction allowance, which places the Company at risk for cost overruns and causes the Company to be deemed the owner during the construction period. In cases where the Company is deemed to be the owner during the construction period, a sale and leaseback of the asset occurs when construction of the asset is complete and the lease term begins, if relevant sale-leaseback accounting criteria are met. Any gain or loss from the transaction is included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and deferred and amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company reports the amount of cash received for the construction allowance as construction allowance receipts within the financing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such allowances are received prior to completion of the sale-leaseback transaction. The Company reports the amount of cash received from construction allowances as proceeds from sale leaseback transactions within the investing activities section of its Consolidated

56

DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Statements of Cash Flows when such amounts are received after the sale-leaseback accounting criteria have been achieved.

In instances where the Company is not deemed to be the owner during the construction period, reimbursement from a landlord for tenant improvements is classified as an incentive and included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred rent credit is amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Landlord reimbursements from these transactions are included in cash flows from operating activities as a change in deferred construction allowances.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment." This update amended the procedures surrounding goodwill impairment testing to permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other." ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income." This update amended the presentation options in ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income," to provide an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, this update requires disclosure of reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which indefinitely deferred the presentation requirements of reclassification adjustments within ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 during the first quarter of 2012. In accordance with this guidance, the Company now presents two separate but consecutive statements that include the components of net income and other comprehensive income.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This update amended explanations of how to measure fair value to result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application required. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 during the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement – In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to

57

DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to the note where additional details about the effect of the reclassifications are disclosed. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the presentation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This update amended the procedures for testing the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. An entity's assessment of the totality of events and circumstances and their impact on the entity's indefinite-lived intangible assets will then be used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test as described in ASC 350-30, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill." ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

At February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, the Company reported goodwill of $200.6 million, net of accumulated impairment charges of $111.3 million. There was no change in the carrying value of goodwill during fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2011. No impairment charges were recorded for goodwill in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The Company had indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets of $89.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2013 and $44.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, as of January 28, 2012. No impairment charges were recorded for the Company's intangible assets in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010.

On March 30, 2012, the Company purchased the intellectual property rights to the Top-Flite brand from Callaway Golf Company for $20.0 million. The intellectual property rights acquired include all Top-Flite trademarks and service marks world-wide. These trademarks are indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not being amortized.

On August 1, 2012, the Company agreed to purchase the intellectual property rights to the Field & Stream mark in the hunting, fishing, camping and paddle categories for $24.5 million. The Company previously licensed these rights since 2007. The Company made an initial $10.0 million payment on August 1, 2012. The remaining $14.5 million liability is included within accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These trademarks are indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not being amortized.

Revolving Credit Agreement – On December 5, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Credit Agreement"), which replaced the Company's then existing credit facility that was terminated. The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility, including up to $100 million in the form of letters of credit and allows the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request an increase of up to $250 million in borrowing availability to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional revolving commitments.

The Credit Agreement matures on December 5, 2016 and is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets, including receivables, inventory, deposit accounts and other personal property of the Company and is guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement will be, at the Company's option, equal to a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin percentage. The applicable margin percentage for base rate loans is 0.20% to 0.50% and for adjusted LIBOR rate loans is 1.20% to 1.50%, depending on the borrowing availability of the Company.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make investments; sell assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a minimum adjusted availability of 7.5% of its borrowing base.

There were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement or the Company's prior revolving credit facility as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively. As of February 2, 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and total borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement of $11.3 million and $488.7 million, respectively. The Company had $21.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and $478.8 million of total borrowing capacity as of January 28, 2012.

Capital Lease Obligations – The gross and net carrying values of assets under capital leases are $31.9 million and $21.9 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2013, and $29.3 million and $22.8 million, respectively, as of January 28, 2012. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for fiscal 2011 includes the non-cash impact of $19.0 million for equipment received by the Company in fiscal 2011 pursuant to a capital lease, which expires in 2014. The Company also leases two buildings from the estate of a former stockholder, who is related to current stockholders of the Company, under a capital lease entered into May 1, 1986 that expires in April 2021.

Financing Lease Obligation – During fiscal 2008, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new corporate headquarters building that it began occupying in January 2010. The Company advanced a portion of the funds needed to prepare the site and construct the building, which resulted in the Company being considered the owner of the building during the construction period. The remaining project costs were financed by the developer except for any project scope changes requested by the Company. During fiscal 2012, the Company purchased the corporate headquarters building for $133.4 million, including closing costs, pursuant to a purchase option included in its lease agreement. Accordingly, the Company's payment to purchase the corporate headquarters building is reflected as payment of its financing lease obligation in the current fiscal year.

The building is included in property and equipment, net and is depreciated using a 40 year life.

8. Operating Leases

The Company leases substantially all of its stores, three distribution centers and equipment, under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2028. Initial lease terms are generally for ten to 25 years, and most leases contain multiple five-year renewal options and rent escalation provisions. The lease agreements provide primarily for the payment of minimum annual rentals, costs of utilities, property taxes, maintenance, common areas and insurance and in some cases contingent rent stated as a percentage of gross sales over certain base amounts. Rent expense under these operating leases was approximately $388.3 million, $360.3 million and $347.4 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company entered into sale-leaseback transactions related to store fixtures, buildings and equipment that resulted in cash receipts of $3.4 million, $21.1 million and $20.0 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock – The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share. In addition, the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Holders of common stock generally have rights identical to holders of Class B common stock, except that holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. A related party, relatives of the related party and trusts held by them hold all of the Class B common stock. These shares can only be held by members of this group and are not publicly tradable. Each share of Class B common stock can be converted into one share of common stock at the holder's option at any time.

Dividends per Common Share – We paid cash dividends of $2.50 per share of common stock and Class B common stock in fiscal 2012, including a special cash dividend of $2.00 per share of common stock and Class B common stock in December 2012, and $0.50 per share of common stock and Class B common stock in fiscal 2011.

Treasury Stock – On January 11, 2012, the Company's Board authorized a one-year share repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company's common stock, which was completed on May 14, 2012. During fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased 4.0 million shares of its common stock for $198.8 million.

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Stock Plans

Total related tax benefit	$	11,561	$	8,947	$	9,591

Stock Option Plans — Stock options are generally granted on an annual basis, vest 25% per year over four years and have a seven year maximum term.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes ("Black-Scholes") option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company's experience. These options are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company's historical experience and future expectations.

The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Employee Stock Option Plans
Black-Scholes Valuation Assumptions	2012		2011		2010
Expected life (years) (1)		5.70		5.76		5.59
Expected volatility (2)		44.52% - 49.38%		44.27% - 48.93%		45.22% - 48.03%
Weighted average volatility		47.25%		46.16%		46.56%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		0.59% - 1.57%		0.89% - 2.70%		1.23% - 2.87%
Expected dividend yield (4)		0.98% - 1.25%		-		-
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	19.24	$	18.06	$	12.20

⁽¹⁾

The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

⁽²⁾

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over a timeframe consistent with the expected life of the stock options.

⁽³⁾

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options.

⁽⁴⁾

The Company declared its first dividend in December 2011. Options granted subsequent to the declaration of the initial dividend reflect the anticipated future cash dividend payouts.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience.

In 2011, of the $24.9 million net deferred tax asset, $12.3 million is included within current assets and $12.6 million is included within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined that a valuation allowance totaling $7.9 million was required for a portion of the deferred tax asset recorded in fiscal 2012 relating to a $32.4 million net capital loss carry-forward resulting from the impairment of its investment in JJB Sports, as the Company does not believe that it is "more likely than not" that the Company will generate sufficient capital gains in future periods to recognize that portion of the expected net capital loss.

As of February 2, 2013, the total liability for uncertain tax positions, including related interest and penalties, was approximately $12.9 million. The following table represents a reconciliation of the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits balances, excluding interest and penalties:

	2012			2011			2010
Beginning of fiscal year	$	18,692		$	13,560		$	12,778
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in a prior period		1,816			5,567			695
Decreases as a result of tax positions taken in a prior period		(4,370	)		(52	)		-
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in the current period		1,740			1,966			2,304
Decreases as a result of settlements during the current period		(6,405	)		(1,757	)		(667	)
Reductions as a result of a lapse of statute of limitations during the current period		(803	)		(592	)		(1,550	)
End of fiscal year	$	10,670		$	18,692		$	13,560

Included in the balance at February 2, 2013 are $7.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

As of February 2, 2013, the liability for uncertain tax positions included $2.2 million for the accrual of interest and penalties. During the years ended February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, the Company recorded $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has federal, state and local examinations currently ongoing. It is possible that these examinations may be resolved within 12 months. Due to the potential for resolution of these examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that $4.0 million of the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits and interest at February 2, 2013 could be recognized within the next 12 months. The Company does not anticipate that changes in its unrecognized tax benefits will have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income during fiscal 2013.

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination for years prior to 2007. The Company is no longer subject to examination in any of its major state jurisdictions for years prior to 2006.

12. Earnings per Common Share

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Fiscal Year Ended
	2012		2011		2010
Earnings per common share - Basic:
Net income	$	290,709	$	263,906	$	182,077
Weighted average common shares outstanding		121,629		120,232		116,236
Earnings per common share	$	2.39	$	2.19	$	1.57
Earnings per common share - Diluted:
Net income	$	290,709	$	263,906	$	182,077
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		121,629		120,232		116,236
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards		4,366		5,536		5,488
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		125,995		125,768		121,724
Earnings per common share	$	2.31	$	2.10	$	1.50

For fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, 0.8 million, 0.6 million and 3.2 million shares, respectively, were attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

13. Retirement Savings Plans

The Company's retirement savings plan, established pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covers regular status full-time hourly and salaried employees as of their date of hire and part-time regular employees that have worked 1,000 hours or more in a year and attained 21 years of age. Under the terms of the retirement savings plan, the Company may make a discretionary matching contribution equal to a percentage of each participant's contribution, up to 10% of the participant's compensation. The Company's discretionary matching contribution percentage is typically 50%. Total employer contributions recorded under the plan, net of forfeitures, was $5.3 million, $4.9 million, and $5.5 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company also has non-qualified deferred compensation plans for highly compensated employees whose contributions are limited under qualified defined contribution plans. Amounts contributed and deferred under the deferred compensation plans are credited or charged with the performance of investment options offered under the plans and elected by the participants. In the event of bankruptcy, the assets of these plans are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors. The liability for compensation deferred under the Company's plans was $36.9 million and $27.1 million at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively, and is included within long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total employer contributions recorded under these plans, net of forfeitures, was $0.9 million, $0.2 million, and $3.8 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company enters into licensing agreements for the exclusive or preferential rights to use certain trademarks extending through 2020. Under specific agreements, the Company is obligated to pay annual guaranteed minimum royalties. The aggregate amount of required payments at February 2, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year
2013	$	16,017
2014		16,014
2015		2,600
2016		2,700
2017		2,800
Thereafter		9,000
Total	$	49,131

Also, the Company is required to pay additional royalties when the royalties that are based on the qualified purchases or retail sales (depending on the agreement) exceed the guaranteed minimum. The aggregate payments made under these agreements requiring minimum guaranteed contractual amounts were $17.8 million, $9.0 million and $11.4 million during fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company also has certain naming rights, marketing and other commitments extending through 2026 of $127.9 million. Payments under these commitments were $35.4 million during fiscal 2012. Payments under these commitments are scheduled to be made as follows: fiscal 2013, $66.7 million; fiscal 2014, $22.3 million; fiscal 2015, $6.7 million; fiscal 2016, $3.8 million; fiscal 2017, $2.6 million; and thereafter, $25.8 million.

In December 2009, the Company entered into an asset assignment agreement with a related party. The Company made deposits totaling $8 million in fiscal 2009, $5 million in fiscal 2011 and $35.4 million in fiscal 2012 under the assigned purchase agreement. All deposits are attributed to the total purchase price of $60.3 million, which is payable in increments through 2013. If the agreement is terminated prior to the delivery date, up to $3.5 million of the deposits are non-refundable.

The Company is involved in legal proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of its business. Although the outcome of any pending legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that adequate insurance coverage is maintained and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

15. Investment in JJB Sports

On April 27, 2012, the Company invested an aggregate of £20 million in JJB Sports, plc ("JJB Sports"), consisting of junior secured convertible notes ("Convertible Notes") in the principal amount of £18.75 million and 12.5 million ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of JJB Sports for £1.25 million, for a total cash outlay of $32.0 million. The Company classified its investments in JJB Sports as available-for-sale investments, which were recorded at fair value.

71

DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Based upon macroeconomic factors and weather conditions impacting the United Kingdom, as well as the financial performance of JJB Sports, the Company assessed its investment in JJB Sports for impairment during the fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2012. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of credit losses represents the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected on such securities and the amortized cost. Based on the Company's assessment, which contemplated probability weighted future expected cash flows and the credit quality of the underlying collateral, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $30.4 million on the Convertible Notes and $2.0 million on the Ordinary Shares within the Consolidated Statements of Income, fully impairing the carrying value of its investment as of July 28, 2012. On October 1, 2012, JJB Sports appointed administrators under UK insolvency laws and is in the process of administration.

The Company's initial fair value of its investment in the Convertible Notes was determined using a binomial lattice model with Level 2 inputs, including JJB Sports' stock price, the expected stock price volatility, the interest rate on the Convertible Notes, the risk-free interest rate based upon appropriate government yield curves and option-adjusted spreads for comparable securities. Due to the use of discounted expected future cash flows to derive the fair value of the Convertible Notes, the Company reclassified its investment as a Level 3 investment (see Note 16) during the fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2012.

16. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures", outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value 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.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012 are set forth in the table below:

Total assets	$	27,102	$	-	$	-

⁽¹⁾

Consists of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan (See Note 13).

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximated book value due to the short-term nature of these instruments at both February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012.

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of the aforementioned assets determined to be Level 1 instruments. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during fiscal 2012. The Company's policy for recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize any transfer at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the determination to transfer was made.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs (in thousands):

	2012
Beginning balance, January 28, 2012	$	-
Transfers in (see Note 15)		32,370
Total realized losses included in net income		(32,370	)
Ending balance, February 2, 2013	$	-

Realized losses are included within impairment of available-for-sale investments on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

2.Current Employment.

(a)Executive is employed as Executive Vice President – Finance, Administration and Chief Financial Officer.  Executive is employed on an “at will” basis.  Either the Company or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without cause.  Nothing herein shall be understood as modifying or otherwise altering Executive’s at-will relationship or in any other way creating a contract of employment for a definite term.

(b)The parties previously entered into a Non-Compete Agreement for New Employees (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) relating to, among other things, confidentiality obligations and non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions applicable to Executive.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Compete Agreement is binding and enforceable on the parties and remains in full force and effect until the Effective Date.  From and after the Effective Date, the Non-Compete Agreement shall be superseded in its entirety by this Agreement (but only with respect to the period from and after the Effective Date).

3.Retirement Intent and Retention Agreement.

(a)It is Executive’s intent to retire on or about April 5, 2013 and Executive hereby notifies the Company of his intention to retire.  Prior to the Retirement Date, Executive agrees to submit his resignation as an Officer of the Company, effective on the Retirement Date, by execution and delivery of a resignation letter to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

3

(b)Executive agrees to remain employed as Executive Vice President – Finance, Administration and Chief Financial Officer or in such other capacity as may be designated by the Company through and including the Retirement Date.

4.Retention Bonus Payment.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, the Company agrees that Executive will receive a Retention Bonus in the amount of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($750,000.00) (the “Retention Bonus”).  The Retention Bonus shall be paid in a single lump sum to Executive on the next regular Company payday following the Effective Date.  The Retention Bonus payment is intended as an incentive for and in consideration of Executive continuing employment with the Company through the Retirement Date.  The Company will withhold any and all applicable taxes from the Retention Bonus payment.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, the Retention Bonus shall be in addition to any performance incentive bonus award to which Executive may be entitled under the Company’s Performance Incentive Plan for Fiscal Year 2012.  If Executive’s Termination Date occurs after the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2012 and the Company achieves its performance targets for company-wide metrics, the Company shall pay Executive the total amount of the performance incentive bonus award earned by Executive prior to the Termination Date under the Company’s Performance Incentive Plan for Fiscal Year 2012.  The final amount of the performance incentive bonus award will be based on the Company’s audited financial statements for Fiscal Year 2012 and is subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.  Subject to the foregoing, such performance incentive bonus award shall be paid to Executive at a time determined by the Company in the ordinary course of business but no later than seventy-five (75) days after the last day of Fiscal Year 2012.

5.Covenants Regarding Competition and Employees.

(a)During the Restrictive Period, Executive specifically agrees that Executive shall not:

(i)Directly or indirectly, own, manage, control, aid, assist, participate in, be a consultant to, render services for, accept a position with, be employed by, or otherwise be involved in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any Sporting Goods Provider that conducts operations anywhere in the Restricted Area; or

(ii)Induce, solicit or assist in any way in encouraging, directly or indirectly, any person who is a Company Employee to terminate such employment relationship, otherwise assist in the recruitment of a Company Employee to accept employment or an engagement with another entity or hire or otherwise retain the services of a Company Employee.

(b)Executive acknowledges that the Restricted Area is reasonable because of the Company’s business, its customers and the products that it sells, where it sells them and how it sells them, including without limitation that the Company’s sales are not limited by state boundaries, the Company competes with entities offering products for sale via the Internet and catalog, and the Company conducts or intends to conduct retail operations throughout the United States and in the

4

future expects to conduct retail operations in additional jurisdictions.  If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that one or more of the provisions of Sections 1 or 5 of this Agreement are so broad as to be unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be reduced in scope or length, as the case may be, to the extent required to make this Section 5 enforceable.  If Executive violates the provisions of this Section 5 (as written or as so reduced in scope), the Restrictive Period shall be extended by that number of days that equals the aggregate number of days of Executive’s violation of this Section 5.

(c)Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded.

6.Confidentiality; Nondisclosure of Information; Inventions; Non-Disparagement.

(a)Except as expressly permitted by the Company in writing, Executive shall not at any time disclose to any person or entity or use for Executive’s own benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company, any Proprietary or Confidential Information disclosed to, obtained by or developed by Executive during Executive’s employment by the Company.

(b)Executive is aware of the restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws on a person possessing material, non-public information.  Executive further acknowledges that the disclosure of any material, non-public information to another person who would or does conduct trades in any securities of an issuer while in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to that issuer is a violation of law, which could subject Executive and persons to whom the information was disclosed to civil and criminal penalties under the securities laws of the United States.

(c)Any and all Inventions made, developed or created by Executive, alone or in conjunction with others, during regular hours of work or otherwise, during Executive’s term of employment by the Company, that may be directly or indirectly useful in or related to the business of, or tests being carried out by, the Company, are the exclusive property of the Company.  Executive hereby assigns all Inventions to the Company and will, upon the Company’s request, whether before or after the Termination Date, execute all documents necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Company or its counsel to direct issuance of any type of intellectual property right to the Company with respect to Inventions that are the exclusive property of the Company under this Section 6(c) or to vest in the Company title to such Inventions.  The expense of securing any such intellectual property right shall be borne by the Company.  Executive will keep confidential and will hold for the Company’s sole benefit any Invention that is to be the Company’s exclusive property under this Section 6(c) for which no intellectual property right is issued.

(d)Executive agrees that the existence, negotiation, terms and conditions of this Agreement are confidential.  Except as expressly permitted by the Company in writing, and except for disclosures to Executive’s legal and financial advisors and members of Executive’s immediate family, Executive shall not disclose, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity, this Agreement, the existence or nature hereof, or the terms or conditions set forth herein, or the circumstances surrounding Executive’s separation from the Company, and Executive shall take reasonable steps necessary or appropriate to cause the members of Executive’s family and Executive’s advisors to abide by such disclosure restriction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive (i) may disclose the existence, nature and terms of this Agreement if such disclosure is compelled by applicable law or governmental

5

regulation or as may be necessary to enforce the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) shall disclose the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement to prospective employers of Executive, provided, that prior to a proposed disclosure under either (i) or (ii), Executive must notify the Company in advance and in writing, as soon as Executive is aware that disclosure is or may be required or appropriate, of the nature of any such proposed disclosure and the persons or entities to which such disclosure is proposed to be made.  Further, the parties understand that certain financial and other terms of this Agreement have been disclosed through the Company’s filing of a Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.   Such publicly disclosed terms shall not be subject to the confidentiality obligations stated herein.

(e)Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not made any disparaging or negative comments about the Company.  Further, Executive shall not make any disparaging or negative comments about the Company and shall take reasonable steps necessary or appropriate to cause the members of Executive’s family and Executive’s advisors to abide by such disclosure restriction.  This provision does not prohibit Executive from (i) providing truthful testimony in response to compulsory legal process, (ii) participating in any investigation or inquiry by a governmental agency acting within the scope of its statutory or regulatory jurisdiction or (iii) making truthful statements in connection with any claim permitted to be brought by Executive under Section 8(e).

7.Breach by Executive.

(a)Subject to the remainder of this Section 7(a), Executive agrees that if Executive breaches Section 5 of this Agreement at any time, or if Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to April 5, 2013, (i) by the Company in a Termination For Cause or (ii) by Executive for any reason (other than on account of death or disability), Executive shall immediately repay the amount of the Retention Bonus payment, net of any withholding for taxes, made pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.  In the event of breach of Section 5 of this Agreement or a Termination For Cause, Executive shall be obligated to repay the full amount of the Retention Bonus payment.  In the event of a termination by Executive prior to April 5, 2013, Executive shall be obligated to repay a prorated portion of the Retention Bonus payment, calculated as follows:

Repayment Amount = Retention Bonus x	Number of days between Termination Date and April 5, 2013
	Number of days between Effective Date and April 5, 2013

Executive will make the payment to the Company in the form of cash or a certified check made payable to the Company within ten (10) business days of a demand by the Company for such payment.  The Company shall have the right to offset any bonus payment, other compensation or other funds due to Executive from the Company by any outstanding obligation of Executive to the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company terminates Executive’s employment for reasons other than a Termination For Cause, Executive shall not be obligated to repay the Retention Bonus.

(b)Both parties hereto recognize that the obligations of Executive under this Agreement are special, unique and of extraordinary character and if Executive hereafter fails to comply with the restrictions and obligations imposed upon Executive under this Agreement, the Company will not have an adequate remedy at law.  It is agreed that under such circumstances, the Company, in addition to the right to repayment of the Retention Bonus payment and any other rights that it may

6

have, shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce any such restrictions and obligations without the necessity of the Company to post a bond, and that in the event any actual proceedings are brought in equity to enforce any such restriction or obligation, Executive shall not raise as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.  In the event the Company obtains an injunction, order, decree or other relief, in law or in equity, Executive shall be responsible for reimbursing the Company all costs associated with obtaining the relief, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of suit.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any such failure or threatened failure, including without limitation termination of payments and recovery of damages from Executive.

(c)        Executive will provide the Company with such information as the Company may from time to time reasonably request to determine Executive’s compliance with Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement.  Executive authorizes the Company or its agents to contact Executive’s future employers and other persons or entities with which Executive has any business relationship to determine Executive’s compliance with this Agreement or to communicate the contents of Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement to such employers and other persons or entities.  Executive releases the Company from all liability for any damage arising from any such contacts or communications.  The foregoing is in addition to, but not in lieu of, any and all rights the Company may have at law or in equity in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Executive.

8.         Release and Waiver of Claims.

(a)        Executive, on behalf of Executive and Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns and trustees, irrevocably and unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges Releasees of and from any and all charges, complaints, claims, actions, suits and debts, of whatever nature, whether known or unknown, that Executive now has, may have, or claims to have, or that Executive at any prior time had or claimed to have against the Company or any of the other Releasees, arising out of any matter or event occurring or accruing on or before the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, any claims arising from or during Executive’s employment with any Releasee, related to Executive’s employment with any Releasee, and/or as a result of Executive’s separation from employment with any Releasee.

(b)        The release and waiver set forth in Section 8(a) includes, but is not limited to, any claims arising under any federal, state or local statutes, regulations, ordinances or common laws, specifically including, but not limited to (and in each case as it may have been amended):  the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act; the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Family and Medical Leave Act; Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code; the Executive Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; the Equal Pay Act of 1963; the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996; the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act; the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act; the Pennsylvania Whistleblower Law; the Pennsylvania Equal Pay Law, the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law; and any common law claims, including but not limited to those alleging wrongful discharge, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract, promissory or equitable estoppel, discrimination, defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, breach of duty and/or claims for attorney’s fees, punitive, compensatory and liquidated damages, expenses or costs. This release is intended to be a general release and excludes only those claims under any statute

7

or common law that Executive is legally barred from releasing.  Executive is advised to seek independent legal counsel if Executive seeks clarification on the scope of this release.

(c)        Executive releases and discharges Releasees not only from any and all such claims or causes of action that Executive could make on Executive’s own behalf, but also those that may or could be brought by any person or entity on Executive’s behalf, and Executive specifically waives any right to become and promises not to become a member of any class in any proceeding or case in which any such claim or cause of action against Releasees may arise, in whole or in part, from any matter or event occurring or accruing on or before the Effective Date.

(d)        Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not filed and will not file any charges, complaints, claims or actions against the Company or any of the other Releasees, based on any matter or event occurring or accruing on or before the Effective Date.  Executive further represents that Executive has not previously assigned or transferred or purported to have assigned or transferred, nor will Executive assign or transfer or purport to assign or transfer in the future, to any person or entity, any claim released by Executive under this Agreement or any portion thereof or interest therein.

(e)        The release and waiver set forth in this Agreement does not prohibit Executive from filing an administrative charge of alleged discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  However, Executive waives any right to monetary or other recovery should any federal, state or local administrative agency pursue any claim on Executive’s behalf relating in any way to Executive’s employment with any Releasee, to Executive’s separation from employment with any Releasee, or to any of the claims that are otherwise subject to the release and waiver of claims set forth in this Agreement.  By signing this Agreement, Executive does not waive Executive’s right to seek a judicial determination of the validity of Executive’s release of rights arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

(f)        The release and waiver set forth in this Agreement is in exchange for valuable consideration that Executive would not otherwise be entitled to receive.

(g)        Upon receipt of the consideration to which Executive is entitled in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Executive will have received complete satisfaction of any and all claims, whether known, suspected, or unknown, that Executive has, may have or has had against Releasees arising on or before the Effective Date.  Executive waives any and all relief not explicitly provided for herein.

(h)        The release, waiver and other provisions of this Agreement do not diminish or otherwise adversely impact any vested benefits to which Executive might be entitled pursuant to any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company.  Executive’s rights with respect to the exercise of any Company stock options granted to Executive or the ownership rights of any restricted stock issued to Executive, shall be governed by the agreement/award documentation under which the grants were made and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Stock and Incentive Plan or 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan.  Any amounts or assets held by Executive in the Dick’s Sporting Goods Officers’ Supplemental Savings Plan shall be governed by such plan and related documents as such materials may be amended from time to time.

8

9.         Return of Property and Cooperation

(a)        All documents and other property that relate to the business of the Company are the exclusive property of the Company, even if Executive authored or created them.  Executive represents and warrants that Executive will return to the Company on or before the Termination Date any and all such documents and property, including, but not limited to, electronic and paper documents, software, equipment (including, but not limited to, mobile devices, computers and computer-related items), and all other materials or other things (including, but not limited to, identification and keys) in Executive’s possession, custody or control, as well as all copies and derivatives, in whatever form.  Executive further represents and warrants that Executive will not retain any such documents and property, or any copies or derivatives thereof, in whatever form.

(b)        At the Company’s request, Executive shall be reasonably available to the Company and cooperate with the Company with respect to the investigation, defense or prosecution of matters that relate to any threatened, present or future claims or proceedings that involve the Company or the other Releasees and about which Executive reasonably may have knowledge.  Executive acknowledges that providing such cooperation may include, without limitation, providing declarations, affidavits or statements, meeting with attorneys and other Company representatives to prepare for depositions or testimony and giving depositions and testimony.  The Company shall pay Executive’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with Executive’s performance of Executive’s obligations under this Section 9(b) at the request of the Company.

(c)        Executive will promptly complete and return any director and officer questionnaire or provide similar information as may be requested by the Company in connection with filings to be made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the NYSE Euronext.

10.       Incentive Compensation Clawback.  Executive understands and agrees that incentive compensation paid to him anytime during the time he served as the Executive Vice President – Finance, Administration and Chief Financial Officer may be subject to clawback solely to the extent required by applicable law or any applicable securities exchange listing standards, including, but not limited to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”).  Such clawback may include forfeiture, repurchase, reimbursement and/or recoupment of compensation, including the retention bonus payment, and will be determined by the Committee.

11.       Construction and Interpretations.

(a)        If any provision of this Agreement is conclusively determined to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without affecting, impairing or invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or the enforceability thereof in such jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision hereof in any other jurisdiction.  If, for any reason, Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement is found to be wholly null and void or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the Non-Compete Agreement’s post-employment restrictions shall remain valid and enforceable beyond the Effective Date.

9

(b)        This Agreement is a fully integrated contract and sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the terms of Executive’s separation from the Company, including the financial terms and the terms of Executive’s release of and waiver of claims against the Company and the other Releasees.  Subject to Sections 2(b) and 11(a), this Agreement fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between the parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns and may not be modified except in writing signed by both the Company and Executive.  This Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable by Executive, and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.  This Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by the Company, whether by operation of law or otherwise.

(c)        The waiver by either party of the other party’s breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the other party of the same or a different provision.

(d)        Except as set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not be construed to give any person or entity other than the parties signatory hereto any interest or rights (including, without limitation, any third party beneficiary rights) with respect to or in connection with any agreement or provision contained herein or contemplated hereby.

(e)        This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law. Executive irrevocably submits to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania or the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in any action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement (whether such action arises under contract, tort, equity or otherwise). Executive irrevocably waives any objection that Executive now or hereafter may have to the laying of venue or personal jurisdiction of any such action or proceeding brought in such courts.  Jurisdiction and venue of all such causes of action shall be exclusively vested in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania or the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.  Executive irrevocably waives Executive’s right to object to or challenge the above selected forum on the basis of inconvenience or unfairness under 28 U.S.C. § 1404, 42 Pa. C.S. § 5322 or similar state or federal statutes.

(f)        The Retention Bonus payment contemplated under this Agreement is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”).  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Section 409A may impose upon Executive certain taxes or other charges for which Executive is and shall remain solely responsible, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Company or any other Releasees for any such taxes or other charges, and in no event shall the Company or any other Releasees have any liability to Executive (or any other person) due to the failure of this Agreement or any payment hereunder to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or any other applicable law.

12.       Jury Trial Waiver.  In consideration of this Agreement, and the consideration provided under it, Executive irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to elect a trial by jury and knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waives all rights Executive has or may have had, but for this Agreement,

10

to trial by jury in any proceeding, dispute, controversy or claim arising from or related to this Agreement.

13.       Reasonable Opportunity to Review.

Weighted average grant date fair value	$	19.24	$	18.06	$	12.20

⁽¹⁾

The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

⁽²⁾

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over a timeframe consistent with the expected life of the stock options.

⁽³⁾

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options.

⁽⁴⁾

The Company declared its first dividend in December 2011. Options granted subsequent to the declaration of the initial dividend reflect the anticipated future cash dividend payouts.

12 Months Ended

Feb. 02, 2013

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Operations – Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is an authentic, full-line sports and fitness omni-channel retailer offering a broad assortment of high-quality, competitively priced brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment.

Fiscal Year – The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the end of January. Fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010 ended on February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012, and January 29, 2011, respectively. All fiscal years presented include 52 weeks of operations except fiscal 2012, which includes 53 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation – The Consolidated Financial Statements include Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are considered Level 1 investments and totaled $259.0 million and $74.6 million at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Interest income from cash equivalents was $1.0 million, $0.3 million, and $0.5 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Cash Management – The Company's cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Accounts payable at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012 include $91.7 million and $81.6 million, respectively, of checks drawn in excess of cash balances not yet presented for payment.

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists principally of amounts receivable from vendors and landlords. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.7 million and $2.4 million as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory cost consists of the direct cost of merchandise including freight. Inventories are net of shrinkage, obsolescence, other valuation accounts and vendor allowances totaling $78.5 million and $69.2 million at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include capitalized leases. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	40 years
Leasehold improvements	10-25 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-7 years

For leasehold improvements and property and equipment under capital lease agreements, depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Leasehold improvements made significantly after the initial lease term are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured. Depreciation expense was $123.3 million, $111.7 million, and $106.1 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets to assess whether the carrying values have been impaired whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus eventual net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques.

The Company recognizes a liability for costs associated with closed or relocated premises when the Company ceases to use the location. The calculation of accrued lease termination and other costs primarily includes future minimum lease payments, maintenance costs and taxes from the date of closure or relocation to the end of the remaining lease term, net of contractual or estimated sublease income. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. The assumptions used in the calculation of the accrued lease termination and other costs are evaluated each quarter.

Goodwill – Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired entities. The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than not" less than the carrying value. If so, we proceed to step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, in which we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If not, then performance of the two-step goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value, an impairment charge to current operations is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management.

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and acquired trade names with indefinite lives, which are tested for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. The Company's finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of favorable lease assets and other acquisition related assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and are reviewed for impairment when factors indicate that an impairment may have occurred.

Gain on Sale of Investment – During fiscal 2011, the Company realized a pre-tax gain of $13.9 million resulting from the sale of its remaining available-for-sale securities held in GSI Commerce, Inc. ("GSI"), in connection with GSI's acquisition by eBay, Inc. Prior to the sale of investment, the investment was carried at fair value within other assets and unrealized holding gains and losses on the stock were included in other comprehensive income and reflected as a component of stockholders' equity. There were no sales of the Company's investment in GSI during fiscal 2010. Gross unrealized holding gains at January 29, 2011 were $10.5 million.

Self-Insurance – The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions.

Pre-opening Expenses – Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs, are expensed as incurred.

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, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock and warrants.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company has the ability to grant restricted shares of common stock and stock options to purchase common stock under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan. We record stock-based compensation expenses based on the fair value of stock awards at the grant date and recognize the expense over the related service period.

Income Taxes – The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes and provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the amounts reported for assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and for income tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition – Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Service-related revenue is recognized as the services are performed. 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") are deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income within selling, general and administrative expenses at the point at which redemption becomes remote. The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption becomes remote.

Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, inventory shrinkage and obsolescence, freight, distribution and store occupancy costs. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company's corporate headquarters.

Advertising Costs – Production costs of advertising and the costs to run the advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement takes place. Advertising expense, net of cooperative advertising, was $201.0 million, $187.4 million, and $185.2 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Vendor Allowances – Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors relating to the purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts. On an annual basis at the end of the fiscal year, the Company confirms earned allowances with vendors to determine that the amounts are recorded in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Segment Information – The Company is a specialty retailer that offers a broad range of products in its specialty retail stores primarily in the eastern United States. Given the economic characteristics of the store formats, the similar nature of the products sold, the type of customer, and method of distribution, the Company's operating segments are aggregated within one reportable segment. The following table sets forth the approximate amount of net sales attributable to hardlines, apparel and footwear for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

	Fiscal Year
	2012		2011		2010
Hardlines	$	2,964	$	2,695	$	2,588
Apparel		1,685		1,504		1,382
Footwear		1,150		982		870
Other		37		31		31
Total net sales	$	5,836	$	5,212	$	4,871

Construction Allowances – All of the Company's store locations are leased. The Company may receive reimbursement from a landlord for some of the cost of the structure, subject to satisfactory fulfillment of applicable lease provisions. These reimbursements may be referred to as tenant allowances, construction allowances or landlord reimbursements ("construction allowances").

The Company's accounting for construction allowances differs if the Company is deemed to be the owner of the asset during the construction period. Some of the Company's leases have a cap on the construction allowance, which places the Company at risk for cost overruns and causes the Company to be deemed the owner during the construction period. In cases where the Company is deemed to be the owner during the construction period, a sale and leaseback of the asset occurs when construction of the asset is complete and the lease term begins, if relevant sale-leaseback accounting criteria are met. Any gain or loss from the transaction is included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and deferred and amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company reports the amount of cash received for the construction allowance as construction allowance receipts within the financing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such allowances are received prior to completion of the sale-leaseback transaction. The Company reports the amount of cash received from construction allowances as proceeds from sale leaseback transactions within the investing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such amounts are received after the sale-leaseback accounting criteria have been achieved.

In instances where the Company is not deemed to be the owner during the construction period, reimbursement from a landlord for tenant improvements is classified as an incentive and included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred rent credit is amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Landlord reimbursements from these transactions are included in cash flows from operating activities as a change in deferred construction allowances.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment." This update amended the procedures surrounding goodwill impairment testing to permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other." ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income." This update amended the presentation options in ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income," to provide an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, this update requires disclosure of reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which indefinitely deferred the presentation requirements of reclassification adjustments within ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 during the first quarter of 2012. In accordance with this guidance, the Company now presents two separate but consecutive statements that include the components of net income and other comprehensive income.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This update amended explanations of how to measure fair value to result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application required. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 during the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement – In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to the note where additional details about the effect of the reclassifications are disclosed. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the presentation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This update amended the procedures for testing the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. An entity's assessment of the totality of events and circumstances and their impact on the entity's indefinite-lived intangible assets will then be used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test as described in ASC 350-30, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill." ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operations

Operations – Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is an authentic, full-line sports and fitness omni-channel retailer offering a broad assortment of high-quality, competitively priced brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment.

Fiscal Year

Fiscal Year – The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the end of January. Fiscal years 2012, 2011, and 2010 ended on February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012, and January 29, 2011, respectively. All fiscal years presented include 52 weeks of operations except fiscal 2012, which includes 53 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation – The Consolidated Financial Statements include Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are considered Level 1 investments and totaled $259.0 million and $74.6 million at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Interest income from cash equivalents was $1.0 million, $0.3 million, and $0.5 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Cash Management

Cash Management – The Company's cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Accounts payable at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012 include $91.7 million and $81.6 million, respectively, of checks drawn in excess of cash balances not yet presented for payment.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists principally of amounts receivable from vendors and landlords. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.7 million and $2.4 million as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory cost consists of the direct cost of merchandise including freight. Inventories are net of shrinkage, obsolescence, other valuation accounts and vendor allowances totaling $78.5 million and $69.2 million at February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include capitalized leases. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	40 years
Leasehold improvements	10-25 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	3-7 years

For leasehold improvements and property and equipment under capital lease agreements, depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Leasehold improvements made significantly after the initial lease term are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term, including renewal periods, if reasonably assured. Depreciation expense was $123.3 million, $111.7 million, and $106.1 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Closed Store Reserves – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets to assess whether the carrying values have been impaired whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus eventual net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques.

The Company recognizes a liability for costs associated with closed or relocated premises when the Company ceases to use the location. The calculation of accrued lease termination and other costs primarily includes future minimum lease payments, maintenance costs and taxes from the date of closure or relocation to the end of the remaining lease term, net of contractual or estimated sublease income. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. The assumptions used in the calculation of the accrued lease termination and other costs are evaluated each quarter.

Goodwill

Goodwill – Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired entities. The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than not" less than the carrying value. If so, we proceed to step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, in which we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If not, then performance of the two-step goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value, an impairment charge to current operations is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and acquired trade names with indefinite lives, which are tested for impairment annually or whenever circumstances indicate that a decline in value may have occurred. The Company's finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of favorable lease assets and other acquisition related assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and are reviewed for impairment when factors indicate that an impairment may have occurred.

Gain on Sale of Investment

Gain on Sale of Investment – During fiscal 2011, the Company realized a pre-tax gain of $13.9 million resulting from the sale of its remaining available-for-sale securities held in GSI Commerce, Inc. ("GSI"), in connection with GSI's acquisition by eBay, Inc. Prior to the sale of investment, the investment was carried at fair value within other assets and unrealized holding gains and losses on the stock were included in other comprehensive income and reflected as a component of stockholders' equity. There were no sales of the Company's investment in GSI during fiscal 2010. Gross unrealized holding gains at January 29, 2011 were $10.5 million.

Self-Insurance

Self-Insurance – The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers' compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions.

Pre-opening Expenses

Pre-opening Expenses – Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs, are expensed as incurred.

Earnings Per Common Share

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, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock and warrants.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company has the ability to grant restricted shares of common stock and stock options to purchase common stock under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan. We record stock-based compensation expenses based on the fair value of stock awards at the grant date and recognize the expense over the related service period.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes – The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes and provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the amounts reported for assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and for income tax reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition – Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Service-related revenue is recognized as the services are performed. 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") are deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income within selling, general and administrative expenses at the point at which redemption becomes remote. The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption becomes remote.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, inventory shrinkage and obsolescence, freight, distribution and store occupancy costs. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company's corporate headquarters.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs – Production costs of advertising and the costs to run the advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement takes place. Advertising expense, net of cooperative advertising, was $201.0 million, $187.4 million, and $185.2 million for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Vendor Allowances

Vendor Allowances – Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors relating to the purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts. On an annual basis at the end of the fiscal year, the Company confirms earned allowances with vendors to determine that the amounts are recorded in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Segment Information

Segment Information – The Company is a specialty retailer that offers a broad range of products in its specialty retail stores primarily in the eastern United States. Given the economic characteristics of the store formats, the similar nature of the products sold, the type of customer, and method of distribution, the Company's operating segments are aggregated within one reportable segment. The following table sets forth the approximate amount of net sales attributable to hardlines, apparel and footwear for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

	Fiscal Year
	2012		2011		2010
Hardlines	$	2,964	$	2,695	$	2,588
Apparel		1,685		1,504		1,382
Footwear		1,150		982		870
Other		37		31		31
Total net sales	$	5,836	$	5,212	$	4,871

Construction Allowances

Construction Allowances – All of the Company's store locations are leased. The Company may receive reimbursement from a landlord for some of the cost of the structure, subject to satisfactory fulfillment of applicable lease provisions. These reimbursements may be referred to as tenant allowances, construction allowances or landlord reimbursements ("construction allowances").

The Company's accounting for construction allowances differs if the Company is deemed to be the owner of the asset during the construction period. Some of the Company's leases have a cap on the construction allowance, which places the Company at risk for cost overruns and causes the Company to be deemed the owner during the construction period. In cases where the Company is deemed to be the owner during the construction period, a sale and leaseback of the asset occurs when construction of the asset is complete and the lease term begins, if relevant sale-leaseback accounting criteria are met. Any gain or loss from the transaction is included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and deferred and amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company reports the amount of cash received for the construction allowance as construction allowance receipts within the financing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such allowances are received prior to completion of the sale-leaseback transaction. The Company reports the amount of cash received from construction allowances as proceeds from sale leaseback transactions within the investing activities section of its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when such amounts are received after the sale-leaseback accounting criteria have been achieved.

In instances where the Company is not deemed to be the owner during the construction period, reimbursement from a landlord for tenant improvements is classified as an incentive and included within deferred revenue and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred rent credit is amortized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Landlord reimbursements from these transactions are included in cash flows from operating activities as a change in deferred construction allowances.

Fair Value Measurements

16. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures", outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value 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.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012 are set forth in the table below:

Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
As of February 2, 2013
Assets:
Deferred compensation plan assets held in trust (1)	$	36,871	$	-	$	-
Total assets	$	36,871	$	-	$	-
As of January 28, 2012

⁽¹⁾

Consists of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan (See Note 13).

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximated book value due to the short-term nature of these instruments at both February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012.

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of the aforementioned assets determined to be Level 1 instruments. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during fiscal 2012. The Company's policy for recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize any transfer at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the determination to transfer was made.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs (in thousands):

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Stock Plans

The Company has the ability to grant restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase common stock under the Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). As of February 2, 2013, shares of common stock available for future issuance pursuant to the Plan was 13,005,717 shares.

The following represents total stock-based compensation recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal years presented (in thousands):

	2012		2011		2010
Stock option expense	$	10,215	$	9,734	$	13,272
Restricted stock expense		21,966		14,185		11,556
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	32,181	$	23,919	$	24,828
Total related tax benefit	$	11,561	$	8,947	$	9,591

Stock Option Plans — Stock options are generally granted on an annual basis, vest 25% per year over four years and have a seven year maximum term.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes ("Black-Scholes") option valuation model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company's experience. These options are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company's historical experience and future expectations.

The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Employee Stock Option Plans
Black-Scholes Valuation Assumptions	2012		2011		2010
Expected life (years) (1)		5.70		5.76		5.59
Expected volatility (2)		44.52% - 49.38%		44.27% - 48.93%		45.22% - 48.03%
Weighted average volatility		47.25%		46.16%		46.56%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		0.59% - 1.57%		0.89% - 2.70%		1.23% - 2.87%
Expected dividend yield (4)		0.98% - 1.25%		-		-
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	19.24	$	18.06	$	12.20

⁽¹⁾

The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

⁽²⁾

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over a timeframe consistent with the expected life of the stock options.

⁽³⁾

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options.

⁽⁴⁾

The Company declared its first dividend in December 2011. Options granted subsequent to the declaration of the initial dividend reflect the anticipated future cash dividend payouts.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience.

The stock option activity from January 30, 2010 through February 2, 2013 is presented in the following table:

Restricted Stock — The Company issues shares of restricted stock to eligible employees, which are subject to forfeiture until the end of an applicable vesting period. The awards generally vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the employee's continuing employment as of that date.

The restricted stock activity from January 30, 2010 through February 2, 2013 is presented in the following table:

15. Investment in JJB Sports

On April 27, 2012, the Company invested an aggregate of £20 million in JJB Sports, plc ("JJB Sports"), consisting of junior secured convertible notes ("Convertible Notes") in the principal amount of £18.75 million and 12.5 million ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of JJB Sports for £1.25 million, for a total cash outlay of $32.0 million. The Company classified its investments in JJB Sports as available-for-sale investments, which were recorded at fair value.

Based upon macroeconomic factors and weather conditions impacting the United Kingdom, as well as the financial performance of JJB Sports, the Company assessed its investment in JJB Sports for impairment during the fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2012. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of credit losses represents the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected on such securities and the amortized cost. Based on the Company's assessment, which contemplated probability weighted future expected cash flows and the credit quality of the underlying collateral, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $30.4 million on the Convertible Notes and $2.0 million on the Ordinary Shares within the Consolidated Statements of Income, fully impairing the carrying value of its investment as of July 28, 2012. On October 1, 2012, JJB Sports appointed administrators under UK insolvency laws and is in the process of administration.

The Company's initial fair value of its investment in the Convertible Notes was determined using a binomial lattice model with Level 2 inputs, including JJB Sports' stock price, the expected stock price volatility, the interest rate on the Convertible Notes, the risk-free interest rate based upon appropriate government yield curves and option-adjusted spreads for comparable securities. Due to the use of discounted expected future cash flows to derive the fair value of the Convertible Notes, the Company reclassified its investment as a Level 3 investment (see Note 16) during the fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2012.

In 2012, of the $27.3 million net deferred tax asset, $30.3 million is included within current assets, $4.4 million is included within other long-term assets and $7.4 million is included within other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In 2011, of the $24.9 million net deferred tax asset, $12.3 million is included within current assets and $12.6 million is included within other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined that a valuation allowance totaling $7.9 million was required for a portion of the deferred tax asset recorded in fiscal 2012 relating to a $32.4 million net capital loss carry-forward resulting from the impairment of its investment in JJB Sports, as the Company does not believe that it is "more likely than not" that the Company will generate sufficient capital gains in future periods to recognize that portion of the expected net capital loss.

As of February 2, 2013, the total liability for uncertain tax positions, including related interest and penalties, was approximately $12.9 million. The following table represents a reconciliation of the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits balances, excluding interest and penalties:

	2012			2011			2010
Beginning of fiscal year	$	18,692		$	13,560		$	12,778
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in a prior period		1,816			5,567			695
Decreases as a result of tax positions taken in a prior period		(4,370	)		(52	)		-
Increases as a result of tax positions taken in the current period		1,740			1,966			2,304
Decreases as a result of settlements during the current period		(6,405	)		(1,757	)		(667	)
Reductions as a result of a lapse of statute of limitations during the current period		(803	)		(592	)		(1,550	)
End of fiscal year	$	10,670		$	18,692		$	13,560

Included in the balance at February 2, 2013 are $7.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

As of February 2, 2013, the liability for uncertain tax positions included $2.2 million for the accrual of interest and penalties. During the years ended February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, the Company recorded $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the accrual of interest and penalties in its Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has federal, state and local examinations currently ongoing. It is possible that these examinations may be resolved within 12 months. Due to the potential for resolution of these examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that $4.0 million of the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits and interest at February 2, 2013 could be recognized within the next 12 months. The Company does not anticipate that changes in its unrecognized tax benefits will have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income during fiscal 2013.

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination for years prior to 2007. The Company is no longer subject to examination in any of its major state jurisdictions for years prior to 2006.

Total long-term debt	$	7,762		$	151,596

Revolving Credit Agreement – On December 5, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Credit Agreement"), which replaced the Company's then existing credit facility that was terminated. The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million revolving credit facility, including up to $100 million in the form of letters of credit and allows the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request an increase of up to $250 million in borrowing availability to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional revolving commitments.

The Credit Agreement matures on December 5, 2016 and is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets, including receivables, inventory, deposit accounts and other personal property of the Company and is guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement will be, at the Company's option, equal to a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin percentage. The applicable margin percentage for base rate loans is 0.20% to 0.50% and for adjusted LIBOR rate loans is 1.20% to 1.50%, depending on the borrowing availability of the Company.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make investments; sell assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company's assets. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain a minimum adjusted availability of 7.5% of its borrowing base.

There were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement or the Company's prior revolving credit facility as of February 2, 2013 and January 28, 2012, respectively. As of February 2, 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and total borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement of $11.3 million and $488.7 million, respectively. The Company had $21.2 million of outstanding letters of credit and $478.8 million of total borrowing capacity as of January 28, 2012.

Capital Lease Obligations – The gross and net carrying values of assets under capital leases are $31.9 million and $21.9 million, respectively, as of February 2, 2013, and $29.3 million and $22.8 million, respectively, as of January 28, 2012. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for fiscal 2011 includes the non-cash impact of $19.0 million for equipment received by the Company in fiscal 2011 pursuant to a capital lease, which expires in 2014. The Company also leases two buildings from the estate of a former stockholder, who is related to current stockholders of the Company, under a capital lease entered into May 1, 1986 that expires in April 2021.

Financing Lease Obligation – During fiscal 2008, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new corporate headquarters building that it began occupying in January 2010. The Company advanced a portion of the funds needed to prepare the site and construct the building, which resulted in the Company being considered the owner of the building during the construction period. The remaining project costs were financed by the developer except for any project scope changes requested by the Company. During fiscal 2012, the Company purchased the corporate headquarters building for $133.4 million, including closing costs, pursuant to a purchase option included in its lease agreement. Accordingly, the Company's payment to purchase the corporate headquarters building is reflected as payment of its financing lease obligation in the current fiscal year.

The building is included in property and equipment, net and is depreciated using a 40 year life.

12. Earnings per Common Share

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Fiscal Year Ended
	2012		2011		2010
Earnings per common share - Basic:
Net income	$	290,709	$	263,906	$	182,077
Weighted average common shares outstanding		121,629		120,232		116,236

Earnings per common share - Diluted:

Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		121,629		120,232		116,236

Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		125,995		125,768		121,724
