Notes

1. 

Column may not recalculate due to rounding.

2.      

Due to the 53rd week in fiscal 2023, there is a one-week shift in the fiscal 2024 calendar compared to the prior year, which favorably impacted current period net sales comparisons by approximately $45 million. Comparable sales for fiscal 2024 are calculated by shifting the prior year period by one week to compare similar calendar weeks.

3.      

Beginning in fiscal 2024, we revised our method for calculating comparable sales to include GameChanger revenue. Prior year information has been revised to reflect this change for comparability purposes. See additional details as furnished in Exhibit 99.2 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024.

4. 

Also referred to by management as earnings before income taxes ("EBT").

5. 

The Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility in 2024 and 2023.

6.      

During the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2024, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $207.32 per share, for a total cost of $113.6 million, of which $5.0 million was paid subsequent to the first fiscal quarter. The Company has $665.9 million remaining under its authorization as of May 4, 2024.

7.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP EBT margin, non-GAAP net income, 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 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.
