"Sport is one of the hottest categories in the country today, and DICK'S is leading from the front. We're investing from a position of strength and playing offense for the long term, widening the gap between us and the rest of the industry. Our leadership showed up clearly in our DICK'S Business results this quarter, with 6% comp growth. With Foot Locker, our excitement and confidence continue to build as we execute our plan, and in Q1 we saw encouraging proof points, returning the Foot Locker Business to positive comps and profitability. Our Fast Break initiative, our capital light store remodel program, is delivering exceptional results, with double-digit comps and merchandise margin improvement as we rapidly scale toward approximately 250 stores by back to school. Based on this early progress, we are raising the low end of our full-year comp sales expectation for the Foot Locker Business."

Ed Stack, Executive Chairman

"We're very proud of our company's Q1 results. Sport is driving sustained energy and engagement across the consumer landscape, and our team turned that athlete demand into another very strong quarter of execution. In Q1, we delivered comp sales growth of 6% in the DICK'S Business, with growth in average ticket and transactions, and broad-based strength across footwear, apparel, and hardlines. These strong comps were on top of a 4.5% increase last year and a 5.3% increase in 2024, as we continued to gain market share. Given our continued confidence in the DICK'S Business, we are raising our full-year expectations for comp sales growth and profitability."

Lauren Hobart, President and Chief Executive Officer

Quarterly Dividend

On May 26, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $1.25 per share on the Company's common stock and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable in cash on June 26, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 12, 2026.

Acquisition of Foot Locker

On September 8, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Foot Locker, Inc. ("Foot Locker"), a leading footwear and apparel retailer, pursuant to the definitive merger agreement executed on May 15, 2025. Total consideration exchanged for the acquisition was $2.5 billion, which primarily consisted of $2.1 billion in share consideration for the issuance of 9.6 million shares of DICK'S Sporting Goods common stock, $223.0 million in cash consideration and $111.6 million from the Company's pre-existing equity ownership in Foot Locker. The Company's current period results reflect Foot Locker's operations for the entire 13-week period ended May 2, 2026.

As previously announced, the Company has initiated a review of unproductive assets, which includes optimizing inventory, closing underperforming stores, and right-sizing assets that do not align with our go-forward vision for the Foot Locker Business. We continue to expect these actions, along with merger and integration costs and deferred financing amortization on a bridge facility, to result in pre-tax charges of $500 to 750 million, of which $486.5 million has been recognized to date. Including the $96.5 million of charges incurred during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026, we currently expect $200 million of these charges to be incurred in fiscal 2026, with the remaining charges to be incurred over the medium term.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results for the first quarter in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company also reports certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and net capital expenditures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with meaningful supplemental information to assist in evaluating the Company's ongoing operations and comparing results across reporting periods.

Management further believes that excluding non‑cash changes in the fair value of deferred compensation plan investments—which fluctuate with market performance and are offset within other income—enhances investors' understanding of underlying trends in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company also uses these non‑GAAP financial measures internally for budgeting, forecasting and assessing operating performance. These non‑GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial results. Because the methods used by the Company to calculate its non‑GAAP measures may differ from those used by other companies, the non‑GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of the Company's non‑GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below and are available on the Company's website at investors.DICKS.com.
