Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) today reported sales and earnings results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2009.

Third Quarter Results

The Company reported consolidated net income for the third quarter ended October 31, 2009 of $18.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. The third quarter earnings per diluted share exceeded estimated earnings expectations provided on August 20, 2009 of $0.04 - 0.07 per diluted share. For the third quarter ended November 1, 2008, the Company reported consolidated non-GAAP net income of $8.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Non-GAAP earnings exclude merger and integration costs. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the third quarter ended November 1, 2008 of $6.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2009 increased by 7.1% to $989.8 million due primarily to a 1.9% increase in consolidated comparable store sales, the opening of new stores and the addition of e-commerce sales. The 1.9% consolidated same store sales increase consisted of a 2.2% increase in Dick's Sporting Goods stores and a 1.5% decline in Golf Galaxy stores.

"While we are pleased with the year-over-year growth in sales and operating margin generated in the third quarter, we believe we benefited from a shift of cold weather product sales from the fourth quarter to the third quarter as a result of colder weather conditions relative to last year," said Edward W. Stack, Chairman and CEO. "This was an outstanding quarter for us in a difficult economic climate. Our associates successfully managed inventory and controlled expenses while executing effective merchandising and marketing strategies."

New Stores

In the third quarter, the Company opened 11 Dick's Sporting Goods stores and relocated one Dick's Sporting Goods store. The new stores are listed in a table later in the release under the heading "Store Count and Square Footage."

In the first three quarters of 2009, the Company has opened 24 new Dick's Sporting Goods stores, relocated one Dick's Sporting Goods store, opened one new Golf Galaxy store, converted the Golf Shop to a Golf Galaxy store, closed two Chick's Sporting Goods stores and converted the remaining Chick's Sporting Goods stores to Dick's Sporting Goods stores.

As of October 31, 2009, the Company operated 420 Dick's Sporting Goods stores in 40 states, with approximately 23.4 million square feet and 91 Golf Galaxy stores in 31 states, with approximately 1.5 million square feet.

Balance Sheet

Long term debt declined by $291.5 million from the end of the third quarter of 2008 to the end of the third quarter of 2009 due to the repayment of $172.5 million for the Company's senior convertible notes in the first quarter of this year and a $122.2 million decrease in revolving credit borrowings. The inventory per square foot was 8.6% less at the end of the third quarter 2009 compared to the end of the third quarter 2008.

Year-to-Date Results

The Company reported consolidated non-GAAP net income for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2009 of $74.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. For the 39 weeks ended November 1, 2008, the Company reported consolidated non-GAAP net income of $72.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share. Non-GAAP earnings exclude merger and integration costs.

On a GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the 39 weeks ended October 31, 2009 of $68.0 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to $65.7 million, or $0.56 per diluted share for the same period last year. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation is included in a table later in the release under the heading "Non-GAAP Net Income and Earnings Per Share Reconciliation."

Net sales increased 5.3% to $3,076.2 million primarily due to the opening of new stores and the addition of e-commerce sales, partially offset by a consolidated comparable store sales decrease of 3.0%.

Current 2009 Outlook

The Company's current outlook for 2009 is based on current expectations and includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act as described later in this release. Although the Company believes that comments reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

"Looking to the fourth quarter, our estimates take into consideration the shift of cold weather product sales from the fourth quarter into the third quarter, planned increased advertising spend and the anniversary of higher levels of guns and ammo sales. Our estimates also recognize the continued uncertain consumer environment, particularly as we head into our largest quarter of the year," said Mr. Stack.

  • Full Year 2009
    • Based on an estimated 118 million diluted shares outstanding, the Company currently anticipates reporting consolidated earnings per diluted share of approximately $1.04 - 1.09, excluding merger and integration costs. For the full year 2008, the Company reported consolidated earnings per diluted share of $1.15, excluding a non-cash impairment charge and merger and integration costs.
    • On a GAAP basis, the Company is anticipating reporting consolidated earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.99 - 1.04 in 2009 compared to a net loss of $0.36 per diluted share in 2008.
    • Comparable store sales are currently expected to decrease approximately 4 to 3% compared to a 4.8% decrease in 2008. The comparable store sales calculation for the full year 2009 includes Dick's Sporting Goods stores and Golf Galaxy stores. The comparable store sales calculation for the full year 2008 includes Dick's Sporting Goods stores only.
    • The Company has completed its new store program, which included opening 24 new Dick's Sporting Goods stores, relocating one Dick's Sporting Goods store, opening one new Golf Galaxy store, converting the Golf Shop to a Golf Galaxy store, closing two Chick's Sporting Goods stores and converting the remaining Chick's Sporting Goods stores to Dick's Sporting Goods stores.
  • Fourth Quarter 2009
    • Based on an estimated 120 million diluted shares outstanding, the Company anticipates reporting consolidated earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.41 - 0.46 in the fourth quarter of 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company reported non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.54. On a GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company reported a loss of $0.94 per diluted share, which included a non-cash impairment charge and merger and integration costs.
    • Comparable store sales are expected to decrease approximately 6 to 4% compared to an 8.6% decrease in the fourth quarter last year. The comparable store sales calculation for the fourth quarter in 2008 and 2009 includes Dick's Sporting Goods stores and Golf Galaxy stores. It excludes Chick's Sporting Goods stores converted to Dick's Sporting Goods stores.
  • Cash Flow
    • In 2009, the Company anticipates producing positive operating cash flow, net of capital expenditures, in excess of that generated in 2008. This is expected to be accomplished through continued effective inventory management and the anticipated reduction of net capital expenditures to $100 million in 2009 as compared to $115 million in 2008.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which impacts the accounting treatment for convertible debt instruments that allow for either mandatory or optional cash settlements. This accounting standard impacted the Company's senior convertible notes and required the Company to recognize additional non-cash interest expense based on the market rate for similar debt instruments without the conversion feature. This guidance was effective for fiscal periods beginning in 2009 and required retrospective application. The Company adopted this accounting standard in the first quarter of 2009, and accordingly, the prior periods' financial statements included herein have been adjusted. Adoption of this standard reduced previously reported earnings per diluted share for the third quarter and full year fiscal 2008 by $0.01 and $0.04, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company provides information regarding net income and earnings per diluted share adjusted for merger and integration costs, pro-forma comparable store sales, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITDA") as well as a reconciliation from the Company's gross capital expenditures, net of tenant allowances. The following measures are considered non-GAAP and are not preferable to GAAP financial information; however, the Company believes this information provides additional measures of performance that the Company's management, analysts and investors can use to compare core, operating results between reporting periods. These non-GAAP measures are provided below and on the Company's website at http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/ (click on the Investor Relations link at the top of the home page). The Company's website is not part of this press release.

EBITDA

EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally accepted accounting principles measure of performance or liquidity. EBITDA, as the Company has calculated it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. EBITDA is a key metric used by the Company that provides a measurement of profitability that eliminates the effect of changes resulting from financing decisions, tax regulations, and capital investments.
