FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



We caution that any forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) contained in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q or made by our management involve risks and uncertainties
and are subject to change based on various important factors, many of which may
be beyond our control. Accordingly, our future performance and financial results
may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such
forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. These statements
can be identified as those that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future
results, performance or advancements and by forward-looking words such as
"believe", "anticipate", "expect", "estimate", "predict", "intend", "plan",
"project", "goal", "will", "will be", "will continue", "will result", "could",
"may", "might" or any variations of such words or other words with similar
meanings. Forward-looking statements address, among other things, our belief
that consumers have made lasting lifestyle changes by an increased focus on
health and fitness, sports, and outdoor activities, leading to structurally
higher sales; current macroeconomic conditions, including the uncertain impact
of inflation, fuel prices, and the risk of recession; supply chain disruptions
and labor market challenges, including factory closures and port congestion,
which are resulting in rising container and transportation costs; the
normalization of sales in certain categories, including fitness and outdoor
equipment; the adequacy of our cash flow; our ability to control expenses; plans
to leverage our real estate portfolio to capitalize on future opportunities in
the near and intermediate term as our existing leases come up for renewal and
our plans to add new retail concepts and experiential stores; our intention to
repay the principal outstanding amounts of the Convertible Senior Notes using
excess cash, free cash flow or borrowings on our unsecured $1.6 billion
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"); projections of our future
profitability; projected range of capital expenditures and our plans to make
improvements within our existing stores and new store development and to
continue investing in technology to enhance our store fulfillment and in-store
pickup capabilities; anticipated store openings and relocations; plans to return
capital to stockholders through dividends and in share repurchases; and our
future results of operations and financial condition.

The following factors, among others, in some cases have affected, and in the
future, could affect our financial performance and actual results, and could
cause actual results for fiscal 2022 and beyond to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this

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, 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 operate DICK'S House of Sport and Golf 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.

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.

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 $0.4875 per share of our common stock and Class B common stock; and,

•Repurchased 3.9 million shares of common stock for a total cost of $318.9 million under our share repurchase program.

(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)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. See
additional details as furnished in Exhibit 99.2 of Form 8-K, which was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2022.

(6)Includes our DICK'S Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Field & Stream, Public Lands and Going Going Gone! stores. Excludes temporary Warehouse Sale store locations.

13 Weeks Ended July 30, 2022 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended July 31, 2021

Net Sales



Net sales decreased approximately 5.0% to $3,112.4 million in the current
quarter from $3,274.8 million in the quarter ended July 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 $460.2 million in the current quarter compared to $663.6 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2021.



Gross profit decreased to $1,121.4 million in the current quarter from $1,307.1
million for the quarter ended July 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 July 31, 2021.

26 Weeks Ended July 30, 2022 Compared to the 26 Weeks Ended July 31, 2021

Net Sales



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.

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased to $826.7 million in the current year-to-date period, compared to $1,139.4 million in the prior year period.



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 ended July 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 at July 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 our DICK'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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                               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 of July 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 at July 30,
2022.

Senior Notes

As of July 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 on January 15 and July 15.

Convertible Senior Notes



Following our exchanges totaling $200 million principal amount in cash during
the 26 weeks ended July 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 on April 15 and October 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 in April 2025 or upon early conversion, as
applicable.

As of July 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 ended
July 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 ended July 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 on December 16, 2021. As of July 30, 2022, the available
amount remaining under the December 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 ended July 30, 2022, we have paid $82.9 million of dividends
to our stockholders. On August 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 on September 30, 2022 to stockholders of
record as of the close of business on September 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.

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 of
July 30, 2022 and January 29, 2022, respectively.

Operating Activities

Cash from operating activities decreased $929.0 million for the 26 weeks ended
July 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.

Investing Activities



Cash used in investing activities decreased $6.1 million for the 26 weeks ended
July 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year. Gross capital expenditures
for the current period include investments in our stores and technology, offset
by last year's investments in 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, or other financing sources. Cash used in financing activities
increased $403.4 million for the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2022 compared to the
prior year period, primarily driven by higher share repurchases and the exchange
of $200 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes
during the current year.
