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 toDICK'S Sporting Goods stores, we own and operate Golf Galaxy,Field & Stream , Public Lands and Going Going Gone! specialty concept stores and offer our products both online and through our mobile apps. We also own and operateDICK'S House of Sport andGolf Galaxy Performance Center , as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for scheduling, communications, live scorekeeping and video streaming. 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. 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Over the past five years, we have transformed our business to drive sustainable growth in sales and profitability. During this time, we meaningfully improved our merchandise assortment, as our strong relationships with our key brand partners provided access to highly differentiated product. We also enhanced our store selling culture and service model and incorporated experiential elements and technology into our stores to engage our athletes. Finally, we invested in technology and data science to improve our pricing strategy, digital marketing and personalization. Consumers have also made lasting lifestyle changes in recent years, increasing their focus on health and fitness, sports and outdoor activities. As a result of our core strategies, foundational improvements and favorable consumer trends, net sales increased 40.5% in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2019, while merchandise margins increased 626 basis points as a percentage of net sales in the same period-to-period comparison. Our profitability is primarily influenced by growth in comparable store sales, the strength of merchandise margins derived from our omni-channel platform and our ability to manage operating expenses. With our structurally higher sales, expanded merchandise margins, and operating expense leverage, our pre-tax income as a percentage of net sales has grown from 4.7% in fiscal 2019 to 16.2% in fiscal 2021.
Macroeconomic Outlook
The macroeconomic environment in which we operate remains uncertain as a result of numerous factors, including inflation and the potential risk of recession. In addition, the continued disruption of global labor markets and supply chains due to COVID-19 and other factors, including factory closures and port congestion, has resulted in longer transit times and elevated container and transportation costs that we expect will continue in the near term. Although we have successfully managed these issues thus far, the longer-term effect of these challenges may impact consumer discretionary spending behavior and the promotional landscape in which we operate. Our revised fiscal 2022 outlook contemplates this uncertainty.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Senior management focuses on certain key indicators to monitor our performance, including:
?Comparable store sales performance - Our management considers comparable store sales, which includes online sales, to be an important indicator of our current performance. Comparable store sales results are important to leverage our costs, which include occupancy costs, store payroll and other store expenses. Comparable store sales also have a direct impact on our total net sales, net income, cash and working capital. A store is included in the comparable store sales calculation during the same fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations. Relocated stores are included in the comparable store sales calculation from the open date of the original location. Stores that were permanently closed during the applicable period have been excluded from comparable store sales results. See further discussion of our comparable store sales in the "Results of Operations and Other Selected Data" section herein. ?Earnings before taxes and the related operating margin - Our management views operating margin and earnings before taxes as key indicators of our performance. The key drivers of earnings before taxes are comparable 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, which include investments in new and existing stores and our eCommerce channel, distribution and administrative facilities, continuous improvements to information technology tools, potential strategic acquisitions or investments that may arise from time-to-time and stockholder return initiatives, including cash dividends and share repurchases. We typically experience lower operating cash flows in our third fiscal quarter due to increased inventory purchases in advance of the holiday selling season, which typically normalizes in our fourth fiscal quarter. See further discussion of our cash flows in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section herein. ?Quality of merchandise offerings - To measure effectiveness of our merchandise offerings, we monitor sell-throughs, inventory turns, gross margins and markdown rates at the department and style level. This analysis helps us manage inventory levels to reduce working capital requirements and deliver optimal gross margins by improving merchandise flow and establishing appropriate price points to minimize markdowns.
?Store productivity - To assess store-level performance, we monitor various indicators, including new store productivity, sales per square foot, store operating contribution margin and store cash flow.

Table of Contents CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES As discussed in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's 2021 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OTHER SELECTED DATA
Executive Summary
•Net sales decreased 5.0% to$3.11 billion in the current quarter from$3.27 billion during the second quarter of 2021, which included a decrease in comparable store sales of 5.1% following a 20.2% increase in the same period last year. When compared to the second quarter of 2019, net sales increased 38%. •In the current quarter, we reported net income of$318.5 million , or$3.25 per diluted share, compared to$495.5 million , or$4.53 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2021. •Earnings per diluted share for the current quarter excluded$8.0 million of interest expense, net of tax, and included 13.9 million diluted shares related to the Convertible Senior Notes, which together, decreased earnings per diluted share by$0.43 . In fiscal 2022, earnings per diluted share reflects the adoption of ASU 2020-06, which requires the assumption that our Convertible Senior Notes will be settled in shares of our common stock. Due to our intent to settle the principal of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash and the shares we expect to receive from our convertible bond hedge, which is designed to offset dilution, we do not expect the Convertible Senior Notes will have a dilutive effect upon conversion. •Net income in the second quarter of 2021 included$5.7 million of non-cash interest expense, net of tax, and earnings per diluted share included 10.7 million shares related to the Convertible Senior Notes that are designed to be offset at conversion by our bond hedge, which together decreased earnings per diluted share by$0.55 in the prior year quarter.
•During the second quarter of 2022, we:
•Exchanged$100 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes and unwound the corresponding portion of the convertible bond hedge and warrants for$100 million of cash and 1.7 million shares of our common stock;
•Declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of
•Repurchased 3.9 million shares of common stock for a total cost of

(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)Beginning in fiscal 2022, we revised our method for determining comparable store sales calculations to include relocated store locations. Prior year information is revised to reflect this change for comparability purposes.

13 Weeks Ended
Net sales decreased approximately 5.0% to$3,112.4 million in the current quarter from$3,274.8 million in the quarter endedJuly 31, 2021 , due primarily to a$164.1 million , or 5.1%, decrease in comparable store sales. The decrease in comparable store sales included an 8.4% decrease in transactions offset by a 3.3% increase in sales per transaction, and reflects an anticipated sales normalization in certain categories, including fitness and outdoor equipment, as well as inventory constraints affecting apparel, partially offset by growth in footwear and team sports. Income from Operations
Income from operations decreased to
Gross profit decreased to$1,121.4 million in the current quarter from$1,307.1 million for the quarter endedJuly 31, 2021 and decreased as a percentage of net sales by approximately 388 basis points. Merchandise margins decreased 197 basis points, as we strategically introduced some item level pricing offerings, and higher inventory shrink due to increased theft. In addition, supply chain costs increased approximately 92 basis points, primarily due to continuing global disruptions, and occupancy deleveraged 71 basis points. Occupancy costs, which after the cost of merchandise represents the largest item within our cost of goods sold, are generally fixed on a per store basis and fluctuate based on the number of stores that we operate. Our occupancy costs increased$9.1 million compared to the prior year quarter. The remaining decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by an increase in eCommerce shipping expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to$657.4 million in the current quarter from$640.3 million during the second quarter of 2021, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 157 basis points primarily due to the decrease in net sales. The$17.1 million increase was driven by investments in hourly wage rates and talent to support our growth strategies, offset by a$17.8 million net cost reduction compared to the prior year quarter related to changes in the investment values of our deferred compensation plans, for which the corresponding investment change was recognized in Other Expense.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to$25.5 million in the current quarter from$13.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to$13.8 million of interest expense related to the aggregate$1.5 billion Senior Notes issued during the fourth quarter of 2021. Current quarter interest expense also included$6.6 million of inducement charges related to the exchange of$100 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, which were primarily offset by a reduction in non-cash interest expense due to our adoption of ASU 2020-06; see Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for additional details.
Other Expense (Income)
Other expense totaled$7.4 million in the current quarter compared to other income of$6.8 million in the prior year quarter. The change was primarily 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 increased to 25.5% in the current quarter from 24.5% in
the quarter ended
26 Weeks Ended
Net sales were$5,812.6 million in the current period, a 6.2% decrease from net sales of$6,193.6 million reported for the prior year period, due primarily to a$403.2 million , or 6.6%, decrease in comparable store sales, partially offset by a$22.2 million increase in net sales primarily attributable to new stores. The decrease in comparable store sales included a 7.4% decrease in transactions offset by a 0.8% increase in sales per transaction, and reflects an anticipated sales normalization in certain categories, including fitness and outdoor equipment, along with last year's favorable sales impact following government stimulus payments, and inventory constraints affecting apparel, partially offset by growth in footwear and team sports. 21 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Income from Operations
Income from operations decreased to
Gross profit decreased to$2,106.1 million for the current period from$2,395.7 million for the prior year period, a decrease as a percentage of net sales of 245 basis points, primarily due to a 98 basis point increase in supply chain related costs, primarily due to continuing global disruptions and 81 basis points of occupancy deleverage. Our occupancy costs increased$15.5 million compared to the prior year period and decreased gross profit as a percentage of net sales due primarily to the decrease in net sales. The remaining decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by lower merchandise margin and higher eCommerce shipping expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to$1,272.7 million in the current year-to-date period from$1,248.6 million for the prior year period, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 173 basis points primarily due to the decrease in net sales. The$24.1 million increase was driven by investments in hourly wage rates and talent to support our growth strategies, along with higher brand-building marketing expenses, offset by lower incentive compensation expense and a$34.8 million net cost reduction compared to the prior year period related to changes in the investment values of our deferred compensation plans, for which the corresponding investment change was recognized in Other Expense. In addition, selling, general and administrative expense included approximately$15 million of COVID-related costs in the prior year-to-date period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to$51.1 million in the current period from$27.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to$27.6 million of interest expense related to the aggregate$1.5 billion Senior Notes issued during the fourth quarter of 2021. Current period interest expense also included$12.3 million of inducement charges related to three exchange transactions totaling$200 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, which were primarily offset by a reduction in non-cash interest expense due to our adoption of ASU 2020-06; see Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1 - Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for additional details.
Other Expense (Income)
Other expense totaled$16.4 million in the current period compared to other income of$14.1 million for the period endedJuly 31, 2021 . The change was primarily 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 decreased to 23.7% for the current period from 23.9% for the same period last year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash on hand atJuly 30, 2022 was$1.90 billion . We believe that we have sufficient cash flows from operations and cash on hand to operate our business for at least the next twelve months, supplemented by funds available under our unsecured$1.6 billion Credit Facility, if necessary. We may require additional funding should we pursue strategic acquisitions, settle all or a portion of the Convertible Senior Notes, undertake share repurchases, pursue other investments or engage in store expansion rates in excess of historical levels.
The following sections describe the potential short and long-term impacts to our liquidity and capital requirements.
Leases
We lease all of our stores, three of our distribution centers and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2033. Over two-thirds of ourDICK'S Sporting Goods stores will be up for lease renewal at our option over the next five years, and we plan to leverage the significant flexibility within our existing real estate portfolio to capitalize on future real estate opportunities. 22 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Revolving Credit Facility We have available to us a$1.6 billion Credit Facility, which includes a maximum amount of$75 million to be issued in the form of letters of credit. Loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at an alternate base rate or an adjusted secured overnight financing rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage. As ofJuly 30, 2022 , there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, and we have total remaining borrowing capacity, after adjusting for$16.1 million of standby letters of credit, of$1.58 billion . We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility agreement atJuly 30, 2022 . Senior Notes As ofJuly 30, 2022 , we have$750 million principal amount of 2032 Notes and$750 million of 2052 Notes. Cash interest accrues at a rate of 3.15% per year on the 2032 Notes and 4.10% per year on the 2052 Notes, each of which are payable semi-annually in arrears onJanuary 15 andJuly 15 .
Convertible Senior Notes
Following our exchanges totaling$200 million principal amount in cash during the 26 weeks endedJuly 30, 2022 , we have an aggregate principal amount of$375 million of Convertible Senior Notes outstanding. Cash interest accrues at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears onApril 15 andOctober 15 . We currently anticipate that we will repay the remaining 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 or borrowings on our Credit Facility to minimize share dilution. However, we may need to pursue additional sources of liquidity to repay the Convertible Senior Notes in cash at their maturity date inApril 2025 or upon early conversion, as applicable. As ofJuly 30, 2022 , 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 material conversion requests through the filing date of this Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance that any capital required to repay our Convertible Senior Notes will be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. Capital Expenditures Our capital expenditures are primarily allocated toward the development of our omni-channel platform, including investments in new and existing stores and eCommerce technology, while we have also invested in our supply chain and corporate technology capabilities. Capital expenditures for the 26 weeks endedJuly 30, 2022 totaled$167.7 million on a gross basis and$138.4 million on a net basis, which includes tenant allowances provided by landlords. We anticipate that fiscal 2022 gross capital expenditures will be in a range of$400 to$425 million , and$340 to$365 million on a net basis, which includes tenant allowances provided by landlords. We expect our capital expenditures to be concentrated on improvements within our existing stores and new store development, as well as continued investments in technology to enhance our store fulfillment, in-store pickup and other foundational capabilities.
Share Repurchases
From time-to-time, we may opportunistically repurchase shares of our common stock. During the 26 weeks endedJuly 30, 2022 , we repurchased approximately 4.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of$361.1 million . We currently operate under a$2.0 billion share repurchase program that was authorized by the Board of Directors onDecember 16, 2021 . As ofJuly 30, 2022 , the available amount remaining under theDecember 2021 authorization was$1.5 billion . Any future share repurchase programs are subject to authorization by our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.
Dividends
During the 26 weeks endedJuly 30, 2022 , we have paid$82.9 million of dividends to our stockholders. OnAugust 22, 2022 , our Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of$0.4875 per share of common stock and Class B common stock, payable onSeptember 30, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business onSeptember 9, 2022 . 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. 23 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Supply Chain Financing We have entered into supply chain financing arrangements with several financial institutions, whereby suppliers have the opportunity to settle outstanding payment obligations early at a discount. In turn, we settle invoices with the financial institutions in accordance with the original supplier payment terms. Our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. Our liability associated with the funded participation in the arrangements, which is presented within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was$86.1 million and$76.0 million as ofJuly 30, 2022 andJanuary 29, 2022 , respectively.

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents$ (747.7) $ 578.7 Operating Activities Cash from operating activities decreased$929.0 million for the 26 weeks endedJuly 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a$465.4 million increase in cash payments for inventory and accounts payable to replenish inventory levels after a 28.3% sales increase in fiscal 2021 and supply chain disruptions following the start of COVID-19, which resulted in inventory growth relatively in line with sales growth compared to fiscal 2019. The remaining decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily driven by a$278.2 million decrease in earnings during the current period as compared to the same period last year, and a$126.0 million decrease in accrued expenses as a result of year-over-year changes in incentive compensation accruals and corresponding payments, and the timing of marketing and deferred compensation plan payments.
