"2025 was another strong year for the DICK'S Business, with growth in comps and EPS exceeding our expectations. We've now owned the Foot Locker Business for about six months and our excitement and our conviction in the long‑term opportunity continue to grow. We’re very encouraged by what we’re seeing with our Fast Break initiative, the evolution of our 11-store Foot Locker pilot, which we plan to rapidly scale in 2026. In addition, our "clean out of the garage" efforts have set up Foot Locker to play offense and deliver the inflection point we expect beginning with back-to-school. We remain very confident that DICK’S and Foot Locker are stronger together, and I want to thank our more than 100,000 teammates across the globe for their commitment and execution every day."Ed Stack, Executive Chairman "We're very proud of our company's Q4 results. In the DICK'S Business, our strong execution powered a great holiday season and another strong quarter with comp growth over 3% and double-digit non-GAAP EPS growth. It was a terrific year overall with comps of 4.5%, gross margin expansion, and non-GAAP operating margin of over 11%. DICK'S and Foot Locker are perfectly positioned at the intersection of sport and culture which is becoming an even stronger part of everyday life. For 2026, we expect to drive continued comp growth, strategic expansion of our square footage, and strong profitability for the DICK'S Business. We also look forward to returning the Foot Locker Business to both top-line and bottom-line growth in 2026. We have deep conviction in the tremendous opportunity ahead for our entire company."Lauren Hobart, President and Chief Executive Officer

Foot Locker will be included in the quarterly comparable store calculation beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which is when these stores will commence their 14 full month of operations following the date of acquisition. Additionally, beginning in fiscal 2025, we revised our method for calculating comparable sales to include Warehouse Sale stores beginning in the stores' 14 full month of operations, similar to our other store locations.

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 subsequent to the acquisition close date, other than proforma comparable sales as noted in the supplemental financial information tables below.
As previously announced, the Company has initiated a review of unproductive assets which includes optimizing inventory, closing underperforming stores, and right-sizing assets that don’t align with our go-forward vision for the Foot Locker Business. These actions, along with merger and integration costs and deferred financing amortization on a bridge facility, are expected to result in pre-tax charges of $500 to 750 million, of which $235.5 million and $390.0 million was recorded during the 13 and 52 weeks ended January 31, 2026, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting the Company's financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 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 net income, DICK'S Business non-GAAP basis results, including non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and weighted average diluted shares outstanding, 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.
