DICK'S SPORTING GOODS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation

Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is an authentic full-line sports and fitness omni-channel retailer offering a broad assortment of high-quality brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment.  When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified, any reference to "year" is to our fiscal year and the terms "we", "us", "the Company" and "our" refer to Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").  The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information.  This unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013.  Operating results for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2014 or any other period.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to the related note to the financial statements where additional details about the effect of the reclassifications are disclosed. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 during the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment." This update amended the procedures for testing the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. An entity's assessment of the totality of events and circumstances and their impact on the entity's indefinite-lived intangible assets will then be used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test as described in Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 350-30, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – General Intangibles Other than Goodwill." ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2012-02 during the first quarter of 2013.  The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.  Store Closings
 
The calculation of accrued store closing and relocation reserves primarily includes future minimum lease payments, maintenance costs and taxes from the date of closure or relocation to the end of the remaining lease term, net of contractual or estimated sublease income.  The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest.  The assumptions used in the calculation of the accrued store closing and relocation reserves are evaluated each quarter.

The current portion of accrued store closing and relocation reserves is included within accrued expenses and the long-term portion is included within long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

3.  Earnings Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method.  Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock and warrants.
 
The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

For the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, 1.1 million shares were attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  For the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 and July 28, 2012, 0.9 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, were attributable to outstanding stock-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

4.  Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price).  ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures", outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures, and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2:
Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3:
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013 are set forth in the table below (in thousands):

Consists of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximated book value due to the short-term nature of these instruments at both August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013.
 
The Company uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of the aforementioned assets determined to be Level 1 instruments.  The Company's policy for recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize any transfer at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the determination to transfer was made. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013.  The Company did not hold any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013.

Fiscal 2012 activity reflected the Company's impairment of its available-for-sale investment in JJB Sports Plc ("JJB Sports"). Due to the use of discounted expected future cash flows to derive the fair value of the investment, the Company reclassified the investment as a Level 3 investment during the fiscal quarter ended July 28, 2012. Realized losses are included within impairment of available-for-sale investments on the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income.

5. Income Taxes
 
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that it would recover $4.3 million of its investment in JJB Sports, which it had previously fully impaired. There is no related tax expense for this recovery as the Company reversed a portion of the deferred tax valuation allowance it had previously recorded for net capital loss carryforwards it did not expect to realize at the time its investment in JJB Sports was fully impaired.

6. Related Party Transaction

On July 17, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with SP Aviation, LLC, an entity 50% owned by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold a Gulfstream G200 corporate aircraft to SP Aviation, LLC for $11.0 million, paid in cash, representing the Company's carrying value of the asset at the time of sale. The transaction was approved pursuant to the Company's Related Party Transaction Policy.

7. Subsequent Event
 
On August 14, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.125 per share of common stock and Class B common stock payable on September 27, 2013 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 6, 2013.

OVERVIEW

Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is an authentic full-line sports and fitness omni-channel retailer offering a broad assortment of high-quality brand name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment.  The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy, LLC, a golf specialty retailer ("Golf Galaxy").  When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified, any reference to "year" is to our fiscal year and the terms "we", "us", "the Company" and "our" refer to Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

12

Table of Contents

 
As of August 3, 2013, we operated 527 Dick's stores in 44 states and 81 Golf Galaxy stores in 30 states, with approximately 30.0 million square feet on a consolidated basis, the majority of which are located throughout the eastern half of the United States. 
 
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for any period within, or the entire, fiscal year.  Our revenue and earnings are typically greater during our fiscal fourth quarter, which includes the majority of the holiday selling season.
 
The primary factors that historically have influenced the Company's profitability and success have been the growth in its number of stores and selling square footage, positive same store sales and its strong gross profit margins.  In the last five years, the Company has grown from 372 Dick's stores as of August 2, 2008 to 527 Dick's stores as of August 3, 2013.  The Company continues to expand its presence through the opening of new stores and believes it has the potential to reach approximately 1,100 Dick's locations, including smaller-market locations across the United States.
 
In order to monitor the Company's success, the Company's senior management monitors certain key performance indicators, including:

Consolidated same store sales – Same store sales provide a measure of sales growth for stores and other channels open at least one year over the comparable prior year period. Stores are included in the same store sales calculation in the same fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations.  Stores that were closed or relocated during the applicable period have been excluded from same store sales.  Each relocated store is returned to the same store base in the fiscal period that it commences its 14th full month of operations at that new location. The Company's eCommerce business is included in the same store sales calculation. Our management considers same store sales to be an important indicator of our current performance. Same store sales results are important to leverage our costs, including occupancy costs, store payroll and other store expenses. Same store sales also have a direct impact on our total net sales, cash and working capital. See further discussion of the Company's same store sales in the "Results of Operations and Other Selected Data" section herein.

Operating cash flow – Cash flow generation supports the general operating needs of the Company and funds capital expenditures related to its store network, distribution and administrative facilities, costs associated with continued improvement of information technology tools, costs associated with potential strategic acquisitions or investments that may arise from time to time and stockholder return initiatives, including cash dividends and share repurchases. We typically generate significant positive operating cash flows in our fiscal fourth quarter in connection with the holiday selling season and proportionately higher net income levels.  See further discussion of the Company's cash flows in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources and Changes in Financial Condition" section herein.
 
Quality of merchandise offerings – To monitor and maintain acceptance of its merchandise offerings, the Company monitors sell-throughs, inventory turns, gross margins and markdown rates on a department and style level.  This analysis helps the Company manage inventory levels to reduce cash flow 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, the Company monitors various indicators, including new store productivity, sales per square foot, store operating contribution margin and store cash flow.  New store productivity compares the sales increase for all stores not included in the same store sales calculation with the increase in square footage.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
As discussed in Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, the Company considers its policies on inventory valuation, vendor allowances, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and closed store reserves, self-insurance reserves, stock-based compensation and uncertain tax positions to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing its consolidated financial statements.  There have been no changes in the Company's critical accounting policies during the period ended August 3, 2013.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OTHER SELECTED DATA
 
Executive Summary
 
Net income for the current quarter increased 57% to $84.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $53.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Net income for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 includes $4.7 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share related to a non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a corporate aircraft held for sale to its fair market value. Net income for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012 included a charge of $27.6 million, net of tax, or $0.22 per diluted share related to the Company's impairment of its investment in JJB Sports.  

Net sales increased 7% to $1.5 billion in the current quarter due primarily to the growth of our store network and a 1.2% increase in consolidated same store sales. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2012, there is a one-week shift in fiscal 2013 results as compared to fiscal 2012. In the current quarter, the seasonal timing change resulting from this shift favorably impacted net sales comparisons by approximately $20 million. Consolidated same store sales, adjusted for the shifted retail calendar, decreased 0.4% in the current quarter. eCommerce sales penetration in the second quarter of 2013 was approximately 5.6% of total sales.

Gross profit increased 14 basis points to 31.30% as a percentage of net sales for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 as compared to the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012, due primarily to higher merchandise margins, partially offset by deleverage of fixed occupancy costs.

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per common share and Class B common share.

We ended the second quarter of 2013 with no outstanding borrowings under our current senior secured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement").

Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax.  Revenue from eCommerce sales is recognized upon shipment of merchandise. Service-related revenue is recognized as the services are performed.  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") are deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards.  These cards have no expiration date.  Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income in selling, general and administrative expenses at the

point at which redemption becomes remote.  The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption is remote.
(2) 
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, inventory shrinkage and obsolescence, freight, distribution and store occupancy costs.  Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, store maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses.
(3) 
Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company's corporate headquarters. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 include $7.9 million relating to a non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a corporate aircraft held for sale to its fair market value.

13 Weeks Ended August 3, 2013 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended July 28, 2012
 
Net Income
 
The Company reported net income of $84.2 million for the current quarter, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to net income of $53.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.  Net income for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 includes $4.7 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to a non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a corporate aircraft held for sale to its fair market value. Net income for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012 included a charge of $27.6 million, net of tax, or $0.22 per diluted share, related to the Company's impairment of its investment in JJB Sports.  

Net Sales

Net sales for the current quarter increased 7% to $1.5 billion, due primarily to the growth of our store network and a 1.2% increase in consolidated same store sales.  The 1.2% consolidated same store sales increase consisted of a 1.9% increase at Dick's Sporting Goods and a 7.2% decrease at Golf Galaxy. eCommerce sales penetration was approximately 5.6% of total sales during the current quarter compared to 3.9% of total sales during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2012, there is a one-week shift in fiscal 2013 results as compared to fiscal 2012. In the current quarter, the seasonal timing change resulting from this shift favorably impacted net sales comparisons by approximately $20 million. Consolidated same store sales, adjusted for the shifted retail calendar, decreased 0.4%, consisting of a 0.1% increase at Dick's Sporting Goods and a 6.1% decrease at Golf Galaxy.

The decrease in consolidated same store sales, as adjusted for the shifted retail calendar, was primarily driven by declines in our golf equipment, outdoor equipment and fitness businesses. Golf and outdoor equipment, such as water sports, camping and bikes, were negatively impacted by higher levels of precipitation and cooler temperatures. The same store sales increase at Dick's Sporting Goods was attributable to an increase of 2.0% in sales per transaction offset by a 1.9% decrease in transactions.  Every 1% change in consolidated same store sales would impact earnings before income taxes for the current quarter by approximately $5 million.

Income from Operations
 
Income from operations increased to $137.1 million for the current quarter from $134.6 million for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.  The increase was primarily due to a $31.5 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $26.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Gross profit increased 7% to $479.3 million for the current quarter from $447.8 million for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.  The 14 basis point increase as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to merchandise margin expansion of 31 basis points due to our continued inventory management efforts, partially offset by a 25 basis point increase in occupancy costs that increased as a percentage of net sales as a result of a lower increase in consolidated same store sales. Every 10 basis point change in merchandise margin would impact earnings before income taxes for the current quarter by approximately $1.5 million.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8% to $337.0 million for the current quarter from $310.9 million for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 37 basis points. The increase was primarily due to a $7.9 million non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a Gulfstream G450 corporate aircraft held for sale to its fair market value. This corporate aircraft is not the aircraft that was sold to a related party as described in Note 6 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Selling, general and administrative expenses were also impacted by an increase in administrative payroll costs for the Company's planned growth initiatives, partially offset by lower incentive compensation during the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 and a contribution to the Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.
 
Pre-opening expenses increased to $5.3 million for the current quarter from $2.3 million for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012.  Pre-opening expenses relate to the opening of seven new Dick's stores during the current quarter as compared to the opening of four new Dick's stores during last year's second quarter.  Pre-opening expenses during the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 also reflect expenses related to opening the Company's first Field & Stream store, a specialized outdoor concept. Pre-opening expenses in any period fluctuate depending on the timing and number of store openings and relocations.

Impairment of Available-for-Sale Investments

Impairment of available-for-sale investments of $32.4 million in the second quarter ended July 28, 2012 resulted from the
full impairment of the Company's investment in JJB Sports.

Income Taxes
 
The Company's effective tax rate was 39.1% for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2013 as compared to 47.0% for the same period last year.  During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2012, the Company determined that a valuation allowance totaling $7.9 million was required for a portion of the recorded deferred tax asset related to a $32.4 million net capital loss carryforward resulting from the impairment of its investment in JJB Sports, as the Company did not believe that it was "more likely than not" that the Company would generate sufficient capital gains in future periods to recognize that portion of the expected net capital loss.

26 Weeks Ended August 3, 2013 Compared to the 26 Weeks Ended July 28, 2012

Net Income

The Company reported net income of $149.0 million for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $110.8 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Net income for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 includes $4.3 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to an estimated partial recovery from its previously impaired investment in JJB Sports and $4.7 million, net of tax, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to a non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a corporate aircraft held for sale to its fair market value. Net income for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 included a charge of $27.6 million, net of tax, or $0.22 per diluted share, related to the Company's impairment of its investment in JJB Sports.

Net Sales

Net sales for the period increased 5% to $2.9 billion, due primarily to the growth of our store network, offset by a 0.2% decrease in consolidated same store sales. The 0.2% consolidated same store sales decrease consisted of a 0.4% increase at Dick's Sporting Goods and a 7.3% decrease at Golf Galaxy. eCommerce sales penetration was approximately 5.7% of total sales during the current period compared to 3.8% of total sales during the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Due to the 53rd week

in fiscal 2012, there is a one-week shift in fiscal 2013 results as compared to fiscal 2012. In the current quarter, the seasonal timing change resulting from this shift favorably impacted net sales comparisons by approximately $53 million. Consolidated same store sales, adjusted for the shifted retail calendar, decreased 2.0%, consisting of a 1.5% decrease at Dick's Sporting Goods and an 8.7% decrease at Golf Galaxy.

The decrease in consolidated same store sales, as adjusted for the shifted retail calendar, was primarily driven by declines in our golf, fitness and outdoor equipment businesses. The same store sales decrease at Dick's Sporting Goods is attributable to a decrease in transactions of approximately 3.4% offset by an increase of approximately 1.9% in sales per transaction. Every 1% change in consolidated same store sales would impact earnings before income taxes for the period by approximately $9 million.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased to $234.7 million for the current period from $230.4 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The increase was primarily due to a $48.6 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses totaling $42.7 million.

Gross profit increased approximately 6% to $891.0 million for the current period from $842.4 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. The 12 basis point increase is due primarily to merchandise margin expansion of 54 basis points, partially offset by a 35 basis point increase in fixed occupancy costs that increased as a percentage of sales as a result of the decline in consolidated same store sales and a 13 basis point increase in freight and distribution costs driven by the increase in eCommerce sales. Freight and distribution costs for eCommerce sales are higher as a percentage of sales than for sales made in our brick and mortar stores. Every 10 basis point change in merchandise margin would impact earnings before income taxes for the current quarter by approximately $3 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 7% to $649.7 million for the current period from $607.0 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, and increased as a percentage of net sales by 34 basis points primarily due to increased payroll costs for planned growth initiatives and a $7.9 million non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a Gulfstream G450 corporate aircraft held for sale to its fair market value. This corporate aircraft is not the aircraft that was sold to a related party as described in Note 6 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by lower incentive compensation during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 and a contribution to the Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation during the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012.

Pre-opening expenses increased to $6.6 million for the current period from $5.0 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Pre-opening expenses relate to the opening of nine new Dick's stores during the period as compared to ten new Dick's stores during last year's period. Pre-opening expenses for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 also reflect expenses related to opening the Company's first Field & Stream store, a specialized outdoor concept. Pre-opening expenses in any period fluctuate depending on the timing and number of store openings and relocations.

Impairment of Available-for-Sale Investments

Impairment of available-for-sale investments of $32.4 million in the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 resulted from the full impairment of the Company's investment in JJB Sports.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1.4 million for the current period and $4.4 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Interest expense for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 included $2.9 million related to rent payments under the Company's financing lease for its corporate headquarters building and the decrease in interest expense year over year reflects the Company's purchase of its corporate headquarters building on May 7, 2012.

Other Income

Other income was $7.9 million for the current period and $1.8 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012. Other income for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 includes $4.3 million related to the estimated partial recovery of the Company's investment in JJB Sports, which it had previously fully impaired.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 38.2% for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 as compared to 43.3% for the same period last year. During the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012, the Company determined that a valuation allowance totaling $7.9 million was required for a portion of the recorded deferred tax asset related to a $32.4 million net capital loss carryforward resulting from the impairment of its investment in JJB Sports, as the Company did not believe that it was "more likely than not" that the Company would generate sufficient capital gains in future periods to recognize that portion of the expected net capital loss. During fiscal 2013, the Company determined that it would recover an estimated $4.3 million of its investment in JJB Sports.  There is no related tax expense, as the Company reversed a portion of the deferred tax valuation allowance it had previously recorded for net capital loss carryforwards it did not expect to realize at the time its investment in JJB Sports was fully impaired.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview
 
The Company's liquidity and capital needs have generally been met by cash from operating activities. The Company ended the second quarter of 2013 with $134.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $350.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2012. Over the course of the past twelve months, the Company utilized capital to invest in its omni-channel growth, remodel stores, build a distribution center, fund share repurchases, pay a special dividend and quarterly dividends and acquire the Field & Stream brand.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 was $5.4 million compared to $67.0 million for the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012.  Net cash from operating, investing and financing activities are discussed further below.
 
The Company has a $500 million revolving credit facility, including up to $100 million in the form of letters of credit, in the event further liquidity is needed.  Under the Credit Agreement governing the facility (the "Credit Agreement"), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may request an increase of up to $250 million in borrowing availability.
 
The Credit Agreement, which matures on December 5, 2016, is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets, including receivables, inventory, deposit accounts and other personal property of the Company and is guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries.
 
The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Agreement are, at the Company's option, a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage.  The applicable margin percentage for base rate loans is 0.20% to 0.50% and for adjusted LIBOR rate loans is 1.20% to 1.50%, depending on the borrowing availability of the Company.
 
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock or redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make certain investments; sell assets; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company's assets.  In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted availability of 7.5% of its borrowing base. As of August 3, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
 
There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of August 3, 2013 or February 2, 2013.  As of August 3, 2013 and February 2, 2013, total remaining borrowing capacity, after subtracting letters of credit, was $487.0 million and $488.7 million, respectively.
 
Normal capital requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures related to the addition of new stores, remodeling and relocating existing stores, enhancing information technology and improving distribution infrastructure.  The Company has a capital appropriations committee that approves all capital expenditures in excess of certain amounts and groups and prioritizes all capital projects among required, discretionary and strategic categories.
 
Store and omni-channel infrastructure – The Company currently plans to make substantial capital investments in its business in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. These investments include growing our omni-channel platform, implementing new systems, developing new retail concepts and store-related capital expenditures. Store-related capital expenditures are expected to nearly double from fiscal 2012, due to anticipated investments in new and relocated stores and further upgrades to some of our existing stores to improve the shopping experience for our customers.

The Company plans to open approximately 40 new Dick's stores and relocate one Dick's store during fiscal 2013.  The Company also expects to open one new Golf Galaxy store and relocate one Golf Galaxy store in fiscal 2013, both of which will be in a new, larger format.  The Company plans to lease all of these stores.
 
The Company expects to open one new True Runner store and two new Field & Stream stores in 2013.  The Company plans to lease all of these stores.

The Company plans to fully remodel four Dick's stores in 2013.  We did not remodel any stores in 2012 as we were finalizing our new prototype store.

The Company plans to partially remodel 75 Dick's stores in 2013.  The partial remodels will focus on strategic growth categories, and when completed, will feature Nike and Under Armour shops.

In 2013, we plan to accelerate the pace of new vendor shops by adding approximately 120 Nike Fieldhouse shops, 60 Under Armour All American shops and 20 adidas shops within our existing Dick's Sporting Goods stores.  We are also working closely with The North Face to add approximately 80 seasonal outpost shops in conjunction with store remodels as well as elevate their branding in our seasonally expanded shops.

We plan to install shared service footwear decks in all new and fully remodeled stores in 2013.

These capital investments will impact the Company's cash flows during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013.

Share repurchases – On March 7, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a five-year share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of the Company's common stock.  During the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock for $80.6 million. The Company funded the repurchases from cash on hand.
 
Dividends – During the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013, the Company paid $33.6 million of dividends to its stockholders.  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 the final determination of our Board of Directors, and will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.
 
Event Subsequent to Quarter-end
 
Dividend – On August 14, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.125 per share on the Company's common stock and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable in cash on September 27, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 6, 2013.
 
The Company currently believes that cash flows generated by operations and funds available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our current capital requirements through fiscal 2013.  Other investment opportunities, such as potential strategic acquisitions, share repurchases, investments or store expansion rates in excess of those presently planned, may require additional funding.

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations is seasonal in our business.  Typically, we use cash flow from operations to increase inventory in advance of peak selling seasons, with the pre-Christmas inventory increase being the largest.  In the fourth quarter, inventory levels are reduced in connection with Christmas sales and this inventory reduction, combined with proportionately higher net income, typically produces significant positive cash flow.

Operating activities consist primarily of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.  Adjustments to net income for non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, tax benefits on stock options as well as non-cash gains and losses on the disposal of the Company's assets, including impairment charges.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily reflect changes in inventories, accounts payable, income taxes payable / receivable as well as other working capital changes.
 
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $61.6 million for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 compared to the same period last year.  The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is due primarily to decreases in operating assets and liabilities of $102.5 million year-over-year, partially offset by a $38.2 million increase in net income and a $2.7 million increase in non-cash items. The decrease in operating assets and liabilities year-over-year is primarily due to the following:

Changes in income taxes payable / receivable decreased operating cash flows by $33.8 million compared to last year, primarily due to higher income tax payments in the current period.  Income tax payments in fiscal 2012 were favorably impacted by the timing of implementation of a tax election to deduct certain repair and maintenance costs.

Cash flows provided by changes in inventory and accounts payable decreased $17.9 million compared to last year, primarily attributable to the decrease in consolidated same store sales during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 as compared to the 5.9% increase in the same period of fiscal 2012.

Changes in accrued expenses decreased $16.9 million compared to last year, primarily due to payroll timing compared to last year and lower incentive compensation accruals in fiscal 2013.

Investing Activities
 
The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due primarily to the Company's $32.0 million investment in JJB Sports during the 26 weeks ended July 28, 2012 and $11.0 million of proceeds received from the sale of a corporate aircraft during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013. The 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 also includes a $4.1 million increase in deposits and purchases of other assets, which reflects payments made to acquire corporate aircraft and trademarks.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 totaled $82.9 million, compared to $279.4 million of cash used in the same period of fiscal 2012.  The decrease in cash used primarily reflects the Company's purchase of its corporate headquarters building in fiscal 2012 for $133.4 million and lower share repurchase activity during the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2013 compared to the same period last year, partially offset by lower proceeds from stock option exercises.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
 
The Company's off-balance sheet contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of August 3, 2013 primarily relate to operating lease obligations, future minimum guaranteed contractual payments and letters of credit.  The Company has excluded these items from the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company does not believe that any of these arrangements have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or resources. There have been no significant changes in the Company's off-balance sheet contractual obligations or commercial commitments since the end of fiscal 2012.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the Company's market risk exposures from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013 filed March 22, 2013.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
 
During the quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report August 3, 2013.
 
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any control system, including the potential for human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.  Additionally, judgments in decision-making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  An effective control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the system are adequately met.  Accordingly, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our control system can prevent or detect all error or fraud.  Finally, projections of any evaluation or assessment of effectiveness of a control system to future periods are subject to the risks that, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in an entity's operating environment or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures.
 
PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Dick's Sporting Goods and its subsidiaries are involved in various proceedings that are incidental to the normal course of their businesses. As of the date of this report, the Company does not expect that any of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
 
ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, financial results or future performance.  Reference is also made to Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Forward-Looking Statements" of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On March 7, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of the Company's common stock over the next five years. The Company will finance the repurchases from cash on hand, future cash flows from operations or borrowings under the Company's credit facility. Pursuant to the stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of common stock for $80.6 million during the first quarter of 2013. As of August 3, 2013, $919.4 million remained available under this program. The Company may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time.
