DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” unless specified otherwise) is a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories through a blend of dedicated teammates, in-store services and unique specialty shop-in-shops. The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy and Field & Stream specialty stores, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for video streaming, scorekeeping, scheduling and communications. In addition, the Company offers its products through an eCommerce platform that is integrated with its store network, providing athletes with expertise as well as the convenience of a 24-hour storefront. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise specifies, any reference to a “year” is to the Company’s fiscal year.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. 

The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2021. Operating results for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 29, 2022 or any other period.

COVID-19

The impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the Company’s business remains uncertain, including the longer-term economic recovery and what consumer discretionary spending behavior patterns may emerge when the pandemic subsides. Therefore, the Company currently cannot estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on its financial condition and future results of operations, and it will continue to actively monitor its impact to the business. Accordingly, the Company continues to consider and assess the potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on its operations, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to prepare its financial statements such as inventory valuations, fair value measurements and potential asset impairment charges.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 during the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments in this ASU can be applied anytime between the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The impact of Topic 848 on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures is not expected to be significant.

Convertible Instruments

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40),” which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from the primary contract. ASU 2020-06 also enhances transparency and improves disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share guidance. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and it permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption as well as the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements, but it anticipates that adoption will result in a reduction in non-cash interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes.

2.  Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include shares the Company could be obligated to issue from its Convertible Senior Notes and warrants, and stock-based awards, such as stock options and restricted stock.

The computations for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share were as follows for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data)

	13 Weeks Ended
	May 1, 2021		May 2, 2020
Net income (loss)	$	361,756	$	(143,422)
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic	84,750		83,734
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards	6,407		—
Dilutive effect of Convertible Senior Notes and warrants	14,853		—
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted	106,010		83,734
Earnings (loss) per common share - basic	$	4.27	$	(1.71)
Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted	$	3.41	$	(1.71)

Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive options and restricted stock awards excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per share for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020 were 0.2 million and 7.8 million, respectively. Approximately 9.2 million shares included in weighted average common shares outstanding for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 from the Convertible Senior Notes will be offset at settlement by shares delivered from the bond hedge purchased by the Company. The shares provided by the bond hedge are anti-dilutive; accordingly, they are not treated as a reduction to diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the quarter ended May 1, 2021.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

3.  Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1:    Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:    Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Recurring

The Company measures its deferred compensation plan assets held in trust at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. Such assets consist of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plans. As of May 1, 2021 and January 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s deferred compensation plans was $142.1 million and $125.7 million, respectively, as determined by quoted prices in active markets.

The Company bases the fair value of its Convertible Senior Notes on Level 2 inputs, specifically their quoted price in an inactive market on the last trading day in a reporting period. On May 1, 2021, the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes was approximately $1.4 billion, compared to their carrying value of $425.8 million. Because the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $82.58 at the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 exceeded the conversion price of $34.56, the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes by approximately $799.0 million at May 1, 2021. The carrying value excluded amounts classified within additional paid-in capital and any unamortized discounts.

Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings under the Credit Facility and certain other liabilities approximated their carrying values at both May 1, 2021 and January 30, 2021.

Nonrecurring

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis may include property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity and other assets. These assets are required to be assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In the event that an impairment is required, the asset is adjusted to fair value, using Level 3 inputs.

4. Leases

The Company leases all of its stores, three of its distribution centers and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2033. The Company’s stores generally have initial lease terms of 10 to 15 years and contain multiple five-year renewal options and rent escalation provisions. The lease agreements are primarily for the payment of minimum annual rentals, costs of utilities, property taxes, maintenance, common areas and insurance.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company negotiated rent deferrals with its landlords, affecting its payments for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020. Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020 were as follows (in millions):

	13 weeks ended
	May 1, 2021		May 2, 2020
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities	$	171.6	$	78.5
Non-cash operating lease assets and liabilities obtained in exchange for new or modified leases	$	118.1	$	91.9

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.0% for the quarter ended May 1, 2021, and 31.0% for the quarter ended May 2, 2020. The effective tax rate for the current quarter included the favorable tax impact from the vesting of certain share-based payments during the period due to increases in the Company’s share price.

Due to the anticipated net operating loss for fiscal 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended May 2, 2020 included an estimated benefit resulting from the CARES Act, which allows for the carry-back of net operating losses to periods prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, when the federal statutory tax rate was 35%. The Company subsequently adjusted its effective tax rate in the second fiscal quarter of 2020 as it no longer anticipated a net operating loss following the reopening of its stores. The benefit from the CARES Act was partially offset by the unfavorable tax impact of certain share-based payments that vested during the first quarter of 2020.

6.  Subsequent Event

On May 21, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.3625 per share on the Company's common stock and Class B common stock payable on June 25, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 11, 2021.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories. In addition to DICK’S Sporting Goods stores, we own and operate Golf Galaxy and Field & Stream specialty stores, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for video streaming, scorekeeping, scheduling and communications. We also offer our products through an eCommerce platform that is integrated with our store network, providing our customers, referred to as our athletes, with expertise as well as the convenience of a 24-hour storefront. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or specifies, any reference to “year” is to our fiscal year.

Our profitability is primarily influenced by the growth in consolidated same store sales, our number of store locations and selling square footage, the continued integration of eCommerce with brick and mortar stores, the strength of our gross profit margins and our ability to manage expenses. We have grown from 647 DICK’S Sporting Goods stores as of April 30, 2016 to 730 DICK’S Sporting Goods stores as of May 1, 2021. Our current real estate strategy has resulted in a reduction in the rate at which we open new stores in recent years. We intend to continue this strategy over the next few years, which will allow us to continue to leverage the significant flexibility within our existing real estate portfolio to capitalize on future real estate opportunities as leases come up for renewal. We deploy an in-house eCommerce platform, which allows for continued innovation and enhancements to our eCommerce websites and applications, new releases of our mobile and tablet apps, and the development of omni-channel capabilities that integrate our online presence with our brick and mortar stores, including ship-from-store; buy-online, pick-up in store and multi-channel marketing campaigns. We also implemented curbside pickup and returns as additional alternatives for our athletes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal 2020, which continue today.

Our eCommerce sales penetration to total net sales increased from approximately 10% in fiscal 2015 to approximately 16% in fiscal 2019. Our eCommerce sales growth further accelerated since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, resulting in a 100% increase compared to fiscal 2019 and accounting for approximately 30% of total net sales in fiscal 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, eCommerce sales increased 14%, while sales penetration decreased to approximately 20%, as brick and mortar store sales and traffic normalized. Approximately 70% of online sales during the first quarter of 2021 were fulfilled directly by our stores, which serve as localized points of distribution, and our stores enabled 90% of our current quarter sales through online fulfillment and in-person sales.

Industry Challenges

The retail industry as a whole is dynamic, and sporting goods retail in particular has faced significant disruption in recent years, as several sporting goods retailers have gone out of business. Recently, we have reallocated floor space to growing categories while focusing on driving profitable sales, emphasizing a refined merchandise assortment that delivers newness, innovation and exclusivity. We have also made strategic investments in our supply chain, digital capabilities, athlete experience, vertical brands and employees, referred to as teammates, to support these efforts and have focused on increasing productivity, while eliminating non-essential expenses.

COVID-19 Update

Following temporary store closures in March, April and May of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our diverse category portfolio, supply chain, technological capabilities and omni-channel platform have enabled us to capitalize on strong consumer demand across golf, outdoor activities, home fitness and active lifestyle categories, which resulted in a consolidated same store sales increase of 9.9% in fiscal 2020. These positive trends continued into fiscal 2021, which, coupled with a resurgence in our team sports business due to the return of many youth sports leagues across the country and recent government stimulus payments, resulted in a 52% increase in net sales compared to the first quarter of 2019, or a consolidated same store sales increase of 115% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which included the impact of last year’s temporary store closures.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we closed our customer support center, using our business continuity plans to operate our corporate support functions under remote work arrangements. We also implemented additional safety and cleaning protocols at our stores, distribution centers and corporate offices, and provided a 15% pay premium to our store and distribution center teammates through the end of fiscal 2020. We incurred pre-tax COVID-related costs of approximately $13 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, and in consideration of the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we expect such costs to decline significantly in the second quarter. We incurred approximately $62 million of COVID-related costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which included $28 million of inventory write-downs that were subsequently recovered in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 due to better than anticipated sales. Following the conclusion of our temporary 15% pay premium program, we transitioned store and distribution center teammates to compensation programs with a longer-term focus in fiscal 2021, including an accelerated annual merit increase and higher wage minimums.

14

The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remains uncertain, including the longer-term economic recovery and what consumer discretionary spending behavior patterns may emerge when the pandemic subsides. Our current year outlook contemplates this uncertainty and we will continue to actively manage any impact to our business.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Senior management focuses on certain key indicators to monitor our performance, including:

▪Consolidated same store sales performance – Our management considers same store sales, which consists of both brick and mortar and eCommerce sales, to be an important indicator of our current performance. Same store sales results are important to leverage our costs, which include occupancy costs, store payroll and other store expenses. Same store sales also have a direct impact on our total net sales, net income, cash and working capital. A store is included in the same store sales calculation during the same fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations. Stores that were permanently closed or relocated during the applicable period have been excluded from same store sales results. Each relocated store is returned to the same store sales base during the fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations at the new location. See further discussion of our consolidated same store sales in the “Results of Operations and Other Selected Data” section herein.

▪Earnings before taxes and the related operating margin – Our management views earnings before taxes and operating margin as key indicators of our performance. The key drivers of earnings before taxes are same store sales, gross profit, and our ability to control selling, general and administrative expenses. 

▪Cash flows from operating activities – Cash flow generation supports our general liquidity needs and funds capital expenditures for our omni-channel platform, distribution and administrative facilities, costs associated with continued improvement of information technology tools, potential strategic acquisitions or investments that may arise from time-to-time and stockholder return initiatives, including cash dividends and share repurchases. See further discussion of our cash flows in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section herein.

▪Quality of merchandise offerings – To measure acceptance of our merchandise offerings, we monitor sell-throughs, inventory turns, gross margins and markdown rates at the department and style level. This analysis helps us manage inventory levels to reduce working capital requirements and deliver optimal gross margins by improving merchandise flow, ensuring our in-stock positions are strong for key high demand items, and establishing appropriate price points to minimize markdowns.

▪Store productivity – To assess store-level performance, we monitor various indicators, including new store productivity, sales per square foot, store operating contribution margin and store cash flow.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As discussed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report, we consider our policies on inventory valuation, business development allowances, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, self-insurance reserves and stock-based compensation to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements. 

15

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OTHER SELECTED DATA

Due to temporary store closures and other unusual actions taken in fiscal 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our operating plan for fiscal 2021 is based on results from fiscal 2019. Accordingly, we have incorporated results from the first quarter of fiscal 2019 throughout our discussion of results of operations.

Executive Summary 

▪In the current quarter, we reported net income of $361.8 million, or $3.41 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $143.4 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2020. First quarter 2019 net income was $57.5 million, or $0.61 per diluted share.

•Current quarter net income included approximately $13 million of pre-tax COVID-related safety costs, or $0.09 per diluted share, net of tax, compared to $62 million of pre-tax COVID-related expenses and inventory write-downs, or $0.50 per diluted share, net of tax, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

•Net income in the current quarter also included $5.4 million of non-cash interest expense, net of tax, and earnings per diluted share included 9.2 million shares related to our Convertible Senior Notes that will be offset at conversion by our bond hedge. Together, these decreased current quarter earnings per diluted share by $0.38.

•Net income in the first quarter of 2019 included $5.6 million, net of tax, or $0.06 per diluted share, of a non-cash asset impairment charge and an increase to net income of $4.7 million, net of tax, or $0.05 per diluted share, resulting from the settlement of a litigation contingency previously accrued during fiscal 2017.

•Net sales increased 119% to $2,918.7 million in the current quarter from $1,333.2 million during the first quarter of 2020, and increased 52% from $1,920.7 million during the first quarter of 2019.

▪Consolidated same store sales increased 115% from the first quarter of 2020. First quarter 2020 consolidated same store sales decreased 29.5% from the 2019 quarter, driven by temporary store closures that started on March 18, 2020 to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. First quarter 2019 consolidated same store sales were flat compared to the 2018 quarter.

▪Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, eCommerce sales growth has accelerated, increasing approximately 14% in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2020. eCommerce penetration has grown from 13% of total net sales in the first quarter of 2019 to 20% for the first quarter of 2021.

•In the first quarter of 2021, we:

◦Declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.3625 per share on our common stock and Class B common stock.

◦Repurchased 1.03 million shares of common stock for a total of $76.8 million.

•The following table summarizes store openings and permanent store closures for the periods indicated:

(A) Column does not add due to rounding.

(1)Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. Revenue from eCommerce sales, including vendor-direct sales arrangements, is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Revenue from gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively the “cards”) is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. The cards have no expiration date.

(2)Cost of goods sold includes: the cost of merchandise (inclusive of vendor allowances, inventory shrinkage and inventory write-downs for the lower of cost or net realizable value); freight; distribution; shipping; and store occupancy costs. We define merchandise margin as net sales less the cost of merchandise sold. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation and certain insurance expenses.

(3)Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, operating costs associated with our internal eCommerce platform, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating our customer support center.

(4)Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs, are expensed as incurred. Rent is recognized within pre-opening expense from the date we take possession of a site through the date the store opens.

(5)Consolidated same store sales include stores that were temporarily closed during fiscal 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The method of calculating consolidated same store sales varies across the retail industry, including as to the treatment of temporary store closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, our method of calculating this metric may not be the same as other retailers’ methods.

(6)Includes our DICK’S Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Field & Stream and outlet stores. Excludes temporary locations.

17

13 Weeks Ended May 1, 2021 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended May 2, 2020  

Net Sales

Net sales increased approximately 119% to $2,918.7 million in the current quarter from $1,333.2 million in the quarter ended May 2, 2020. Consolidated same store sales increased by $1,484.0 million, or 115% after giving effect to last year’s temporary store closures and reduced customer traffic resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in consolidated same store sales was broad-based across hardlines, apparel and footwear, and included a 90% increase in transactions and a 25% increase in sales per transaction. Additionally, our consolidated same store sales increase included an increase in brick and mortar sales of nearly 190%, while eCommerce sales increased approximately 14%.

Compared to the quarter ended May 4, 2019, net sales in the current quarter increased approximately 52%. This included a 40% increase in brick and mortar sales and a 139% increase in eCommerce sales. eCommerce sales penetration as a percentage of net sales increased to approximately 20% during the current quarter compared to approximately 13% during the first quarter of 2019. As expected, eCommerce sales penetration decreased from 39% of net sales in last year’s quarter due to last year’s temporary store closures.

Income (Loss) from Operations 

Income from operations increased to $475.8 million in the current quarter compared to a loss of $186.2 million for the quarter ended May 2, 2020 and $76.1 million of income for the quarter ended May 4, 2019.

Gross profit increased to $1,088.6 million in the current quarter from $219.3 million for the quarter ended May 2, 2020 and increased as a percentage of net sales by approximately 2,100 basis points due primarily to occupancy leverage and higher merchandise margin. Occupancy costs, which after the cost of merchandise represents the largest item within our cost of goods sold, are generally fixed in nature and fluctuate based on the number of stores that we operate. Due to the increase in sales our occupancy costs leveraged by approximately 1,000 basis points while increasing $3.9 million compared to the quarter ended May 2, 2020. Merchandise margin increased 787 basis points, primarily driven by fewer promotions and a favorable sales mix. Additionally, last year’s quarter included $28 million of inventory write-downs resulting from our temporary store closures, which were subsequently recovered in the second quarter of 2020 due to better than anticipated sales and margin on merchandise nearing end of life. The remaining increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by lower eCommerce shipping expense due primarily to a lower penetration of eCommerce sales.

Compared to the quarter ended May 4, 2019, gross profit increased approximately 795 basis points as a percentage of net sales, driven by occupancy leverage of 475 basis points and merchandise margin expansion of 312 basis points due to fewer promotions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 51% to $608.3 million in the current quarter from $403.2 million for the 2020 quarter, but decreased as a percentage of net sales by 940 basis points due primarily to leverage from the increase in sales. The current quarter included an increase of $21.9 million of expense associated with changes in our deferred compensation plan investment values, for which the corresponding investment income was recognized in other income. The remaining $183.2 million net increase to support the increase in sales was due primarily to the normalization of last year’s operating expense reductions following our temporary store closures and higher incentive compensation expense. Selling, general and administrative expense included $13 million and $31 million of COVID-related costs in the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. The prior year COVID-related costs were net of a $16.6 million benefit from employee retention tax credits provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).

Compared to the 2019 quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales by 452 basis points, while increasing 25% from $487.2 million for the 2019 quarter. The $121.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to higher store payroll and operating expenses incurred to support the increase in net sales, higher incentive compensation expense and COVID-related safety costs.

Pre-opening expenses increased to $4.5 million in the current quarter from $2.3 million for the quarter ended May 2, 2020. Pre-opening expenses in any period typically fluctuate depending on the timing and number of store openings and relocations.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $13.4 million in the current quarter compared to $8.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a full quarter of interest expense on the convertible debt issued in mid-April 2020 and included non-cash debt discount amortization of $7.3 million in the current quarter. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense incurred on borrowings on our revolving credit facility, which we drew down for precautionary reasons in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year.

18

Other (Income) Expense

Other income totaled $7.4 million in the current quarter compared to expense of approximately $13.5 million in the prior year quarter. Substantially all of the change was due to changes in our deferred compensation plan investment values, which we account for by recognizing investment income or expense and recording an offsetting charge or reduction to selling, general and administrative costs.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 23.0% in the current quarter and 31.0% in the quarter ended May 2, 2020. The current quarter effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the vesting of employee equity awards at a higher share price than awards that vested in the prior year quarter. The rate for the prior year quarter was higher than our blended statutory rate due to our anticipated net operating loss for fiscal 2020 and included an estimated benefit resulting from the CARES Act, which allows for the carry-back of net operating losses to periods prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, when the federal statutory tax rate was 35%. We subsequently adjusted our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2020, as we no longer anticipated a full year net operating loss following the reopening of our stores.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital needs have generally been met by net cash provided by operating activities, supplemented by borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) as necessary. We generally utilize our Credit Facility for working capital needs based primarily on the seasonal nature of our operating cash flows, as well as to fund share buybacks, dividends and capital expenditures. Historically, our peak borrowing level has occurred early in the fourth quarter as we increase inventory in advance of the holiday selling season.

We believe that we have sufficient cash flows from operations to operate our business for at least the next twelve months, supplemented by funds available under our Credit Facility, if necessary. We may require additional funding should we pursue strategic acquisitions or undertake share repurchases, other investments or store expansion rates in excess of historical levels.

Credit Facility

Our Credit Facility has a limit of $1.855 billion, which includes a maximum amount of $150 million to be issued in the form of letters of credit. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may request an increase of up to $245 million in additional borrowing availability. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable on a monthly basis and accrues, at our option, at a rate equal to a variable base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2025

We have an aggregate principal amount of $575 million of Convertible Senior Notes outstanding. Cash interest accrues at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. We currently anticipate that we will repay the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash, whether in connection with an early conversion of such notes or repayment at maturity, using excess cash, free cash flow and borrowings on our Credit Facility to minimize dilution. However, we may need to pursue additional sources of liquidity to repay the Convertible Senior Notes in cash at their maturity date or upon early conversion, as applicable. On May 1, 2021, the stock price conditions under which the Convertible Senior Notes could be convertible at the holders’ option were met. However, we have not received any conversion requests through the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

There can be no assurance that capital required to repay our Convertible Senior Notes will be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are primarily allocated toward the development of our omni-channel platform, including investments in new and existing stores and eCommerce technology, while we have strived to continuously improve our supply chain and corporate technology capabilities.

We anticipate that fiscal 2021 capital expenditures will be in a range of $300 to $325 million, net of construction allowances provided by landlords. We expect our investments to be focused on enhancing the athlete experience in our existing and new stores, including merchandise presentation, space optimization and improving the golf club fitting and lesson experience in our golf business. Additionally, we will continue to invest in technology that supports the athlete experience and teammate productivity, as well as in new store development. In the first quarter of 2021, capital expenditures totaled $71.1 million on a gross basis, and tenant allowances provided by landlords were $13.9 million.

Share Repurchases

From time-to-time, we may opportunistically repurchase shares of our common stock under favorable market conditions. On March 16, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a five-year share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of our common stock. On June 12, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized an additional five-year share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion of our common stock. During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021, we repurchased approximately 1.03 million shares of our common stock for $76.8 million, which exhausted the remaining authorization from 2016, and have $954 million remaining under the 2019 authorization.

Any future share repurchase programs are subject to the authorization by our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

Dividends

During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, we paid $33.3 million and $28.1 million, respectively, of dividends to our stockholders. The declaration of future dividends and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates and payment dates for any such future dividends are subject to authorization by our Board of Directors and are dependent upon multiple factors including future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other considerations.

Cash Flows

Changes in cash and cash equivalents are as follows:

	13 Weeks Ended
(in millions)	May 1, 2021		May 2, 2020
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	447.4	$	(214.8)
Net cash used in investing activities	(73.4)		(59.6)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(173.3)		1,689.2
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	—		(0.1)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	200.7	$	1,414.7

20

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased $662.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to higher earnings in the current period as compared to the net loss we recorded in the prior year quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the timing of cash payments for income taxes, partially offset by precautionary liquidity measures we took in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including deferrals of rent and qualified payroll tax payments as permitted by the CARES Act in last year’s first quarter. We anticipate that future operating cash flows will include comparably higher cash payments for income taxes and inventory replenishment over the next 12 months.

Investing Activities 

Cash used in investing activities increased $13.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The increase in gross capital expenditures was primarily driven by investments to enhance the athlete experience in our existing stores, including merchandise presentation, space optimization and investments to enhance the fitting and lesson experience in our golf business.

Financing Activities

Financing activities have historically consisted of capital return initiatives, including share repurchases and cash dividend payments, cash flows generated from stock option exercises and cash activity associated with our Credit Facility. Cash provided by financing activities decreased $1,862.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily driven by the precautionary measures we took in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the prior year period, which included a significant draw down on the Credit Facility and activities related to the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements as of May 1, 2021 primarily relate to purchase obligations for marketing commitments, including naming rights, licenses for trademarks, minimum requirements with our third-party eCommerce fulfillment provider and technology-related and other ordinary course commitments. We have excluded these items from the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We do 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.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments 

We are party to many contractual obligations that involve commitments to make payments to third parties in the ordinary course of business. For a description of our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of January 30, 2021, see our 2020 Annual Report. During the current quarter, there were no material changes with respect to these contractual obligations and other commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Except as identified below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk exposures from those reported in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.

Credit Risk

In April 2020, the Company issued the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company also entered into five-year convertible bond hedges and five-year separate warrant transactions with several parties (“the counterparties”) and/or certain of their affiliates. Subject to the movement in the Company’s common stock price, the Company could be exposed to credit risk arising out of net settlement of the convertible bond hedges and separate warrant transactions in its favor. Based on the Company’s review of the possible net settlements and the credit strength of the counterparties and their affiliates, the Company believes that it does not have a material exposure to credit risk as a result of these transactions.

21

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of the Company’s customer support center employees began working remotely in March 2020. These changes to the working environment did not materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2021. The Company continues to monitor, assess, and minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its internal controls design and operating effectiveness. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

During the quarter, 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. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, May 1, 2021. 

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any control system, including the potential for human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Additionally, judgments in decision making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. An effective control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the system are adequately met. Accordingly, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our control system can prevent or detect all errors or fraud. Finally, projections of any evaluation or assessment of effectiveness of a control system to future periods are subject to the risks that, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in an entity’s operating environment or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

There have been no material developments with respect to the items disclosed within Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Except as identified below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors affecting the Company from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. The discussion of risk factors sets forth the material risks that could affect the Company’s financial condition and operations.

Our business is dependent on consumer discretionary spending and reductions in consumer spending might adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, liquidity, financial results and stock price.

Our business depends on consumer discretionary spending, and as a result, our results are highly dependent on U.S. consumer confidence and the health of the U.S. economy. Consumer spending may be affected by many factors outside of the Company’s control, including general economic conditions; consumer disposable income; consumer confidence; wage and unemployment levels; the availability, cost and level of consumer debt and inflationary pressures; the costs of basic necessities and other goods; effects of weather and natural disasters, whether caused by climate change or otherwise; and epidemics, contagious disease outbreaks, and other public health concerns. Furthermore, we believe the federal stimulus payments likely had a positive impact on our sales during the first quarter, and it is uncertain how long this impact will continue. Also, we have experienced inflationary pressure in our supply chain. Although we have been able to sufficiently increase our prices to respond to that pressure, there can be no assurance that our business will not be negatively affected by inflation in the future. See the Industry Challenges within Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business operations.

We may not be able to adequately increase our prices over time to account for inflationary pressures within our supply chain, and any decrease in consumer discretionary spending may result in a decrease in athlete traffic, same store sales, and average value per transaction and might cause us to increase promotional activities, which will have a negative impact on our gross margins, all of which could negatively affect the Company’s business, operations, liquidity, financial results and/or stock price, particularly if consumer spending levels are depressed for a prolonged period of time.

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.

A significant portion of the products that we purchase, including those purchased from domestic suppliers, as well as most of our vertical brand merchandise, is manufactured abroad. Foreign imports subject us to risk relating to changes in import duties quotas, the introduction of U.S. taxes on imported goods or the extension of U.S. income taxes on our foreign suppliers’ sales of imported goods through the adoption of destination-based income tax jurisdiction, loss of “most favored nation” status with the U.S., freight cost increases and economic and political uncertainties. We may also experience shipment delays and shipping port constraints, labor strikes, work stoppages or other supply chain disruptions, including those caused by extreme weather, natural disasters, and pandemics and other public health concerns. Specifically, the ramifications of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have caused delays in the manufacturing or shipping of products and raw materials. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic results in continuation or worsening of manufacturing and shipping delays and constraints, our vendors and suppliers will continue to have difficulty obtaining the materials necessary for the production, packaging and delivery of the products we sell, and we will continue to have inventory delays or product shortages in our stores and online.

If any of these or other factors, including trade tensions between the U.S. and foreign nations, including China, were to cause a disruption of trade from the countries in which our vendors’ supplies or our vertical brand products’ manufacturers are located, our inventory levels may be reduced or the cost of our products may increase. We may need to seek alternative suppliers or vendors, raise prices, or make changes to our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we could be impacted by negative publicity or, in some cases, face potential liability to the extent that any foreign manufacturers from whom we directly or indirectly purchase products utilize labor, environmental, workplace safety and other practices that vary from those commonly accepted in the U.S. Also, the prices charged by foreign manufacturers may be affected by the increasing price of raw materials due to energy prices, weather conditions, inflation, and the fluctuation of their local currency against the U.S. dollar, among other factors, any of which could cause the cost of our products to increase and negatively impact demand for our products if we raise prices thereby also negatively impacting our sales or profitability.

23

Changing regulations impacting wage levels and changes to tax laws and regulations could adversely affect our financial results or condition.

Recently, various legislative movements have sought to increase the federal minimum wage in the United States and the minimum wage in a number of individual states, some of which have been successful at the state level. As federal or state minimum wage rates increase, we may need to increase not only the wage rates of our minimum wage teammates, but also the wages paid to our other hourly teammates. Further, should we fail to increase our wages competitively in response to increasing wage rates, the quality of our workforce could decline, causing our customer service to suffer. Any increase in the cost of our labor could have an adverse effect on our operating costs, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our effective income tax rates could be unfavorably impacted by a number of factors, including changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities; changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, treaties, interpretations, and other guidance; changes in transfer pricing rules; and the outcome of income tax audits in various jurisdictions. On March 31, 2021, President Biden released his proposed American Jobs Plan, which includes significant corporate income tax changes including raising the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 28%. Increases in the U.S. corporate income tax rate could have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Current economic and political considerations make tax rules in the United States and other applicable jurisdictions subject to significant change, and changes in applicable tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, including the possibility of retroactive effect, could affect our income tax expense and profitability.

Exhibit 10.1

PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

Granted Under the

DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC.

2012 STOCK AND INCENTIVE PLAN

    This Performance Share Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of the grant date set forth on Exhibit A (the “Grant Date”), is made and entered between Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) and ________________________ (the “Grantee”), pursuant to, and subject to, the terms of the Company’s 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the same meaning given such capitalized terms in the Plan, an electronic copy of which can be found on the Company’s equity administrator’s website (the “E*TRADE Employee Stock Plan Account”).

The parties agree as follows:

Section 1.    Performance Share Award. Subject to, and pursuant to, all terms and conditions stated in this Agreement and in the Plan, as of the Grant Date, the Company hereby makes a Performance Share Award to Grantee in the form of performance shares (“Performance Shares”). The target number of Performance Shares covered by this Agreement (the “Target Award”) is set forth on Exhibit A. To the extent that Grantee vests in greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the Performance Shares, additional Shares shall be issued to Grantee.

Section 2.    Vesting. To the extent that the Performance Measures under Section 4 of this Agreement have been satisfied as of the last day of the performance period set forth on Exhibit A (the “Performance Period”), Grantee shall earn the number of Performance Shares as calculated in accordance with Section 3, and his or her rights to such earned Performance Shares shall vest and become nonforfeitable as of the Vesting Date set forth on Exhibit A (the “Vesting Date”), subject to Sections 5 and 18 of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, to the extent that the Performance Measures have not been satisfied as of the last day of the Performance Period, any Performance Shares awarded under this Agreement that do not vest, as calculated in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement, shall be cancelled immediately without further obligation on the part of the Company.

Section 3.    Performance Measures. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Grantee one Share for each whole Performance Share that is earned in accordance with the performance measure(s) set forth set forth on Exhibit A. (the “Performance Measures”).

Section 4.    Delivery of Shares. On the Grant Date, the Company shall issue the Shares, in either certificated or book entry form, in Grantee’s name effective as of the Grant Date, subject to Section 6 of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Performance Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or otherwise disposed of in any manner prior to the Vesting Date.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to satisfaction of the applicable tax withholding requirements set forth in Section 7, the Company shall deliver stock certificate(s) or other evidence of ownership representing the number of Shares earned as determined under Section 3 to Grantee as soon as practicable but in no event later than 30 days following the Vesting Date; provided, however, that: (i) absent a Change in Control, no certificate(s) for, or other evidence of ownership of, Shares shall be delivered with respect to Performance Shares unless the Committee has certified in writing that the applicable Performance Measures and other material terms of this Agreement have been achieved; and (ii) the Company shall not deliver stock certificate(s) or other evidence of ownership representing Shares if the Committee, Board, Administrator or other authorized agent determines, in its sole discretion, that the delivery of such certificate(s) or other evidence of ownership would violate the terms of the Plan, this Agreement or applicable law.

Section 5.    Termination of Employment/Change in Control:

(a)    Except as set forth in this Section 5, as otherwise approved by the Committee, as provided in a Company plan applicable to Grantee, or an agreement between Grantee and the Company, if any, if Grantee’s Continuous Status as a Qualifying Employee (as defined below) ceases for any reason prior to the Vesting Date, then effective at the close of business on the date Grantee’s Continuous Status as a Qualifying Employee ceases, all of Grantee’s Performance Shares covered by this Agreement, whether earned or unearned, shall be automatically cancelled and forfeited in their entirety without any further obligation on the part of the Company, such that the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares or any other compensation to Grantee with respect to such cancelled and forfeited Performance Shares.

(b)    Unless otherwise provided in a Company plan applicable to Grantee, approved by the Committee, or pursuant to an agreement between Grantee and the Company, if any, if during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date (the “Vesting Period”):

(i)    Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee terminates by reason of Grantee’s “Permanent Disability” (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or death while a Qualifying Employee, the Award shall vest on the Vesting Date, in such amount as if Grantee had continued as a Qualifying Employee through the Vesting Date. Any payments due to a deceased Grantee shall be paid to his or her estate, and the amount of Shares paid, if any, will be contingent upon performance against the

Performance Measures as determined by the Committee and paid on or after the Vesting Date as provided in Section 4 hereof.

(ii)    Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee terminates by reason of Grantee’s “Retirement” (defined as a Grantee communicating his or her intention to retire on or after attainment of age 55 with a minimum of fifteen (15) years of service and a length of service and age totaling at least 75 years) while Grantee is a Qualifying Employee, then, provided Grantee was a Qualifying Employee during at least 25% of the Performance Period, the Administrator, or a committee of management delegated authority by the Administrator, has the discretion to waive the cancellation and forfeiture of Grantee’s Performance Shares and, if this discretion is so exercised, the Performance Shares shall vest on a prorated basis, determined after the end of the Performance Period and based on the ratio of the number of complete months Grantee was a Qualifying Employee during the Vesting Period to the total number of months in the Vesting Period, and the amount of Shares paid, if any, will be contingent upon performance against the Performance Measures as determined by the Committee and paid on or after the Vesting Date as provided in Section 4 of hereof.

(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Grantee ceases to be a Qualifying Employee prior to the Vesting Date, but maintains Continuous Status as an Employee through the Vesting Period, then so long as Grantee has served as a Qualifying Employee for at least one (1) year of the Vesting Period, the Award shall vest on a prorated basis, determined at the end of the Performance Period and based on the ratio of the number of complete months Grantee was a Qualifying Employee during the Vesting Period to the total number of months in the Vesting Period, and the amount of Shares paid, if any, will be contingent upon performance against the Performance Measures as determined by the Committee and paid on or after the Vesting Date as provided in Section 5 hereof.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Qualifying Employee” means an Employee that maintains continuous status as an Employee and has not been demoted to another Employee position with decreased duties, responsibilities and/or authority from the position he/she holds as of the date of this Agreement.

(c)    In the event of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, then a percentage of Shares shall vest on the date of the consummation of such Change in Control (the “Acquisition Date”), to the extent the Award is not forfeited, based on the level of the Company’s achievement of the Performance Measures as of the Acquisition Date, as determined by the Committee. Payment of any amount pursuant to the preceding sentence may be made in cash and/or securities or other property, in the Committee’s discretion, and will be made within 30 days of the Change in Control.

(d)    In the event a Change in Control occurs after the end of the Performance Period but prior to the Vesting Date, the Performance Shares that have not been

previously cancelled and forfeited shall become fully vested and payable, based on the Company’s actual achievement of the Performance Measures during the Performance Period. Payment of any amount pursuant to the preceding sentence may be made in cash and/or securities or other property, in the Committee’s discretion, and will be made within 30 days of the Change in Control.

Section 6.    Limitation of Rights; Investment Representation. Grantee shall have all of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with regard to the Shares underlying the Award, except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement. In this regard, prior to actual receipt of the Shares under this Award, (a) Grantee may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares, (b) any cash or in-kind dividends paid or distributed with respect to the Shares (“Dividends”) shall be paid to Grantee, without interest, only when, and if, the related Shares shall become vested in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan, and (c) all Shares that do not vest on the Vesting Date shall be forfeited and any all Dividends not paid or distributed with respect to such forfeited Shares shall also be forfeited to the Company and shall not be paid to Grantee. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Shares which Grantee acquires pursuant to this Agreement, if any, shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement for the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, and shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable securities laws, whether federal or state. Any attempt to transfer the Performance Shares or Shares in violation of this Section 6 or the Plan shall render this Award of Performance Shares null and void.

Section 7.    Income Taxes. Grantee acknowledges that any income for federal, state or local income tax purposes that Grantee is required to recognize on account of the issuance and delivery of Shares to Grantee shall be subject to withholding of tax by the Company.

Grantee acknowledges that (a) Grantee has been informed of the availability of making an election in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Code (the “Election”); (b) the election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days of the Grant Date; and (c) Grantee is solely responsible for making such Election. Grantee acknowledges that if he or she does not make the Election, Dividends, if any, on the Shares will be treated as compensation and subject to tax withholding in accordance with the Company’s practices and policies. Grantee shall send a copy of the Election to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Section 8.    Rights to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be deemed to give Grantee any right to continue to be employed by the Company, nor shall the Plan or the Agreement be deemed to limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate the employment of Grantee at any time.

Section 9.    Further Assistance. Grantee will provide assistance reasonably requested by the Company in connection with actions taken by Grantee while employed by the Company, including, but not limited to, assistance in connection with any lawsuits or other claims against the Company arising from events during the period in which Grantee was employed.

Section 10.    Binding Effect; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Grantee and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Company and Grantee and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns. The parties agree that this Agreement shall survive the issuance of the Shares.

Section 11.    Agreement to Abide by Plan; Conflict between Plan and Agreement. The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and is made a part hereof as though fully set forth in this Agreement. Grantee, by execution of this Agreement, (a) represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions of the Plan, and (b) agrees to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. Grantee accepts as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the applicable Administrator of the Plan upon any question arising under the Plan, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the date of any termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company and/or termination of Qualifying Employee status).

The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy and Field & Stream specialty stores, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for video streaming, scorekeeping, scheduling and communications. In addition, the Company offers its products through an eCommerce platform that is integrated with its store network, providing athletes with expertise as well as the convenience of a 24-hour storefront. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise specifies, any reference to a “year” is to the Company’s fiscal year.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. 

The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2021. Operating results for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 29, 2022 or any other period.

COVID-19

The impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the Company’s business remains uncertain, including the longer-term economic recovery and what consumer discretionary spending behavior patterns may emerge when the pandemic subsides. Therefore, the Company currently cannot estimate the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on its financial condition and future results of operations, and it will continue to actively monitor its impact to the business. Accordingly, the Company continues to consider and assess the potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on its operations, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to prepare its financial statements such as inventory valuations, fair value measurements and potential asset impairment charges.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 during the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments in this ASU can be applied anytime between the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The impact of Topic 848 on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures is not expected to be significant.

Convertible Instruments

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40),” which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from the primary contract. ASU 2020-06 also enhances transparency and improves disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share guidance. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and it permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption as well as the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements, but it anticipates that adoption will result in a reduction in non-cash interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include shares the Company could be obligated to issue from its Convertible Senior Notes and warrants, and stock-based awards, such as stock options and restricted stock.

The computations for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share were as follows for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data)

	13 Weeks Ended
	May 1, 2021		May 2, 2020
Net income (loss)	$	361,756	$	(143,422)
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic	84,750		83,734
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards	6,407		—
Dilutive effect of Convertible Senior Notes and warrants	14,853		—
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted	106,010		83,734
Earnings (loss) per common share - basic	$	4.27	$	(1.71)
Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted	$	3.41	$	(1.71)

Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive options and restricted stock awards excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per share for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020 were 0.2 million and 7.8 million, respectively. Approximately 9.2 million shares included in weighted average common shares outstanding for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 from the Convertible Senior Notes will be offset at settlement by shares delivered from the bond hedge purchased by the Company. The shares provided by the bond hedge are anti-dilutive; accordingly, they are not treated as a reduction to diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the quarter ended May 1, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1:    Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:    Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Recurring

The Company measures its deferred compensation plan assets held in trust at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. Such assets consist of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plans. As of May 1, 2021 and January 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s deferred compensation plans was $142.1 million and $125.7 million, respectively, as determined by quoted prices in active markets.

The Company bases the fair value of its Convertible Senior Notes on Level 2 inputs, specifically their quoted price in an inactive market on the last trading day in a reporting period. On May 1, 2021, the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes was approximately $1.4 billion, compared to their carrying value of $425.8 million. Because the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $82.58 at the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 exceeded the conversion price of $34.56, the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes by approximately $799.0 million at May 1, 2021. The carrying value excluded amounts classified within additional paid-in capital and any unamortized discounts.

Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings under the Credit Facility and certain other liabilities approximated their carrying values at both May 1, 2021 and January 30, 2021.

Nonrecurring

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis may include property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity and other assets. These assets are required to be assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. In the event that an impairment is required, the asset is adjusted to fair value, using Level 3 inputs.

Leases

The Company leases all of its stores, three of its distribution centers and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2033. The Company’s stores generally have initial lease terms of 10 to 15 years and contain multiple five-year renewal options and rent escalation provisions. The lease agreements are primarily for the payment of minimum annual rentals, costs of utilities, property taxes, maintenance, common areas and insurance.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company negotiated rent deferrals with its landlords, affecting its payments for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2020. Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020 were as follows (in millions):

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.0% for the quarter ended May 1, 2021, and 31.0% for the quarter ended May 2, 2020. The effective tax rate for the current quarter included the favorable tax impact from the vesting of certain share-based payments during the period due to increases in the Company’s share price.

Due to the anticipated net operating loss for fiscal 2020, the Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended May 2, 2020 included an estimated benefit resulting from the CARES Act, which allows for the carry-back of net operating losses to periods prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, when the federal statutory tax rate was 35%. The Company subsequently adjusted its effective tax rate in the second fiscal quarter of 2020 as it no longer anticipated a net operating loss following the reopening of its stores. The benefit from the CARES Act was partially offset by the unfavorable tax impact of certain share-based payments that vested during the first quarter of 2020.
