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 subsequent to the acquisition close date, other than pro forma comparable sales as noted in the supplemental financial information tables below.
The Company has initiated a review of unproductive assets which includes clearing out unproductive inventory, closing underperforming stores, and right sizing assets that don’t align with our go-forward vision for the Foot Locker Business.

Foot Locker Business: Q4 2025 Commentary & Outlook
The Company is taking strategic actions to address unproductive assets, including the optimization of inventory and the closure of underperforming stores. The Company believes these actions will lay the groundwork for the success of the Foot Locker Business starting in 2026. As a result of the actions to optimize the inventory, the Company believes that Q4 2025 gross margin for the Foot Locker Business will be down between 1,000 to 1,500 basis points as compared to Foot Locker’s reported results in the same period last year with pro-forma comp sales being down mid- to high-single digits. Excluding the one-time costs associated with the Company’s actions to address unproductive assets, including the optimization of inventory and the closure of underperforming stores, the Company expects Q4 2025 operating profit for Foot Locker to be slightly negative.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting the Company's financial results for the third quarter in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reports certain financial results for the quarter that differ from what is reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income from operations (also referred to as non-GAAP operating income), non-GAAP operating margin (also referred to as non-GAAP EBIT margin), non-GAAP EBT margin, non-GAAP net income, DICK'S Business non-GAAP basis results, including non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and weighted average diluted shares outstanding, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and net capital expenditures, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Furthermore, management believes that adjustments related to its deferred compensation plans enables investors to better understand its selling, general and administrative expense trends by excluding non-cash changes in our deferred compensation plan investment fair values from market fluctuations that are offset within other income. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below and on the Company's website at investors.DICKS.com.
Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to (i) the DICK'S Business full year 2025 outlook and guidance, including earnings per diluted share, net sales, comparable sales and capital expenditures and (ii) the Foot Locker Business Q4 2025 outlook and guidance, including gross margin, pro forma comparable sales and operating profit, in each case presented herein on a non-GAAP basis due to the exclusion of investment gains, merger and integration costs, and costs associated with actions to address unproductive assets related to the Foot Locker acquisition, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty involved in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts with respect to and resulting from the acquisition that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
