PITTSBURGH, May 22 PA-Dick's-Q1-earnings
PITTSBURGH, May 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) today reported sales and earnings results for the first quarter ended May 3, 2008. The results include the operating results of Golf Galaxy and Chick's Sporting Goods from their respective acquisition dates of February 13, 2007 and November 30, 2007.
First Quarter Results
Net income decreased 4% to $20.8 million and earnings per diluted share decreased 5% to $0.18, compared to prior year net income of $21.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. First quarter 2008 results include a pretax gain on sale of a corporate aircraft totaling $2.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Earnings guidance provided on March 11, 2008 was for earnings per diluted share of $0.16 - 0.19.
Net sales for the quarter increased 11% to $912.1 million primarily due to new store sales, partially offset by a comparable store sales decrease of 3.8% for Dick's Sporting Goods stores, compared to the first quarter of 2007. Comparable store sales for Golf Galaxy on a pro-forma basis decreased 7.4%.
"Throughout this difficult environment, we will continue to focus on the core athlete and outdoor enthusiast, while managing our business with our consistent focus on financial discipline and operational execution," said Edward W. Stack, Chairman, CEO and President.
New Stores
In the first quarter, the Company opened eight Dick's Sporting Goods stores and four Golf Galaxy stores. The stores that opened in the first quarter are listed in a table later in the release under the heading "Store Count and Square Footage."
2008 Outlook
The Company's current outlook for 2008 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.
"In 2008 we are continuing to grow our business and build our brand. However, we are being cautious about our outlook for the remainder of the year, due to the overall uncertainty of the current economic environment," said Mr. Stack. "We will constantly monitor business trends and are positioned to take appropriate actions should the economic environment change."
-- Full Year 2008

   -- Based on an estimated 118.3 million diluted shares outstanding, the
  Company currently anticipates reporting consolidated earnings per
  diluted share of approximately $1.22 - 1.36, as compared to earnings
  per diluted share for the full year 2007 of $1.33.

   -- Comparable store sales, which include Dick's Sporting Goods stores
  only, are expected to decrease approximately 3 - 5%. The comparable
  store sales calculation excludes the Golf Galaxy and Chick's
  Sporting Goods stores.

   -- The Company expects to open approximately 44 new Dick's Sporting
  Goods stores, ten new Golf Galaxy stores and relocate one Dick's
  store in 2008.


-- Second Quarter 2008

   -- Based on an estimated 117.5 million diluted shares outstanding, the
  Company anticipates reporting consolidated earnings per diluted
  share of approximately $0.34 - 0.38, as compared to earnings per
  diluted share for the second quarter 2007 of $0.41.

   -- Comparable store sales, which include Dick's and Golf Galaxy stores,
  are expected to decrease approximately 4 - 7%. The comparable store
  sales calculation excludes the Chick's Sporting Goods stores.

   -- The Company expects to open approximately ten new Dick's stores and
  one new Golf Galaxy store in the second quarter.

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 the gain on sale of asset, 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.
