NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Company
Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a specialty retailer
selling sporting goods, footwear and apparel through its 498 stores, the majority of which are
located throughout the eastern half of the United States. Unless otherwise specified, any
reference to year is to our fiscal year and when used in this Form 10-Q and unless the context
otherwise requires, the terms Dicks, we, us, the Company and our refer to Dicks
Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, in
accordance with the requirements for 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. The interim financial statements
are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the
opinion of management, such unaudited information includes 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 January 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 20, 2009. Operating results for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 30, 2010 or any other
period.
FASB Staff Position APB 14-1
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position APB 14-1 (FSP
14-1), Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement). Under FSP 14-1, cash settled convertible securities are
separated into their debt and equity components. The value assigned to the debt component is the
estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt instrument without the conversion
feature, and the difference between the proceeds for the convertible debt and the amount reflected
as a debt liability is then recorded as additional paid-in capital. As a result, the debt is
effectively recorded at a discount reflecting its below market coupon interest rate. The debt is
subsequently accreted to its par value over its expected life, with the rate of interest that
reflects the market rate at issuance being reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The
retroactive application of FSP 14-1 resulted in the recognition of additional pre-tax non-cash
interest expense for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2008 of $2.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
The following table sets forth the effect of the retrospective application of FSP 14-1 on certain
previously reported line items:

3. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2). FSP 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition
of an Other-Than-Temporary-Impairments and provides additional disclosure requirements. SFAS
No. 115-2 becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early
application permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect FSP
115-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
4. Store Closing and Relocation Reserves
On a stores closing or relocation date, estimated lease termination and other costs to close or
relocate a store are recorded in cost of goods sold, including occupancy and distribution costs on
the consolidated statements of income. The calculation of accrued lease termination and other
costs primarily include 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 lease termination and other costs are
evaluated each quarter. Any changes in these assumptions are recorded in cost of goods sold,
including occupancy and distribution costs on the consolidated statements of income.
The following table summarizes the activity in fiscal 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

$ | 31,352 | $ | 21,926 | ||||
The current portion of accrued store closing and relocation reserves is recorded in accrued
expenses and the long-term portion is recorded in long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities
in the consolidated balance sheets.
5. Earnings per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the number of weighted average common
shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based upon
the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be
outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options, restricted stock and warrants. The number
of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, restricted stock and warrants is
calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The computations for basic and diluted earnings
per share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
13 Weeks Ended | ||||||||

2009 | 2008 | |||||||

Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect
is anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive options excluded from the calculation of earnings per share for the
13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 and May 3, 2008 were 9.4 million and 5.2 million, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We caution that any forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995) contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or made by our
management involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important
factors, many of which may be beyond our control. Accordingly, our future performance and
financial results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking
statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a
prediction of actual results. You can identify these statements as those that may predict,
forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or advancements and by forward-looking
words such as believe, anticipate, expect, estimate, predict, intend, plan,
project, will, will be, will continue, will result, could, may, might or any
variations of such words or other words with similar meanings. Forward-looking statements address,
among other things, our expectations, our growth strategies, including our plans to open new
stores, our efforts to increase profit margins and return on invested capital, plans to grow our
private label business, projections of our future profitability, results of operations, capital
expenditures or our financial condition or other forward-looking information and includes
statements about revenues, earnings, spending, margins, costs, liquidity, store openings and
operations, inventory, private label products, our actions, plans or strategies.
The following factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect our
financial performance and actual results and could cause actual results for fiscal 2009 and beyond
to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in
this report or otherwise made by our management: the current economic and financial downturn may

conditions, including the housing market and fuel costs, that impact the level of consumer spending
for the types of merchandise sold by the Company; changes in general economic and business
conditions and in the specialty retail or sporting goods industry in particular; our quarterly

In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; therefore, new
risk factors can arise, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor
to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual

On February 13, 2007, Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. acquired Golf Galaxy, Inc. (Golf Galaxy) which
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dicks by means of a merger of Dicks subsidiary with and into
Golf Galaxy. On November 30, 2007, Dicks acquired all of the outstanding stock of Chicks Sporting
Goods, Inc. (Chicks), which also became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dicks. Due to these
acquisitions, additional risks and uncertainties could arise that could affect our financial
performance and actual results and could cause actual results for fiscal 2009 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this
report or otherwise made by our management. Such

risks, which are difficult to predict with a level of certainty and may be greater than expected,
include, among others, risks and costs associated with combining businesses and/or with
assimilating acquired companies (including our ability to estimate future integration costs related
to the integration of the operations and achieving expected future costs savings from the
integration).
OVERVIEW
Dicks is an authentic full-line sporting goods retailer offering a broad assortment of brand name
sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment. Unless otherwise
specified, any reference to year is to our fiscal year and when used in this Form 10-Q and unless
the context otherwise requires, the terms Dicks, we, us, the Company and our refer to
Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
As of May 2, 2009 we operated 394 Dicks stores in 39 states, 91 Golf Galaxy stores in 31 states
and 13 Chicks stores in southern California, with approximately 24.1 million square feet, in 42
states on a consolidated basis, the majority of which are located throughout the eastern half of
the United States.
Effective February 1, 2009, the Company amended its e-commerce agreement and began recording
e-commerce revenues on a gross basis as the principal party in the transactions compared to its
prior recording of these revenues on a net basis pursuant to EITF No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue
Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for 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 which historically influenced the Companys profitability and success have been
its growth in the number of stores and selling square footage, its positive comparable store sales,
and its strong gross profit margins. In the last five years, the Company has grown from 234 stores
as of the end of fiscal 2004 to 498 stores as of May 2, 2009, reflecting both organic growth and
acquisitions. The Company continues to expand its presence through the opening of new stores,
although its rate of growth has decreased from the rate of growth experienced in earlier years,
reflecting the current economic conditions.
The 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009, like fiscal 2008, continued to be a difficult operating environment
for our industry due to numerous external factors weighing on specialty retail sales. The
pressures on the consumer have intensified as unemployment has risen, equity markets have declined,
and concerns about the broader economy have grown. These factors, combined with falling home
prices and tight credit markets, suggest continued pressure on specialty retail consumers in the
near term. The Company continues to see the greatest sales weakness in bigger ticket,
discretionary purchases such as golf and exercise equipment, while the lodge business has benefited
from higher gun and ammunition sales. However, since the balance of macroeconomic factors that
impact the Companys business remains unfavorable, the Company will continue to take a cautious
approach to ensure that it is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities as they develop.
As a result, the Company has implemented numerous strategies to help it manage through these
uncertain times, including remaining focused on reducing costs, conserving cash and managing
inventories in line with sales trends. The Company has trimmed planned fiscal 2009 capital
expenditures to approximately $60 million compared to $115 million in fiscal 2008, net of proceeds
from sale leaseback transactions and allowances received from landlords. The Company believes its
strong balance sheet, which includes $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $116.3 million in
outstanding borrowings under its $440 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit
Agreement) and an inventory per square foot reduction of 9.7% at May 2, 2009 compared to the same
period in fiscal 2008, increases its financial flexibility and further strengthens its ability to
successfully manage through this economic crisis. The Company reduced its outstanding borrowings
by $5.2 million compared to May 3, 2008, even after the repayment of $172.5 million of the
Companys senior convertible notes during the quarter ended May 2, 2009.
The Company expects to continue to generate positive cash flow to fund its operations and to take
advantage of growth opportunities. The Company believes its existing Credit Agreement is
sufficient to support its ongoing operations and future plans for fiscal 2009.
In order to monitor the Companys success, the Companys senior management monitors certain key
performance indicators, including:
| Comparable same store sales performance For the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009, the Companys comparable store sales decreased 6.0% compared to a 3.8% decrease during the same period in fiscal 2008. The comparable store sales calculation for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 includes Dicks Sporting Goods stores and Golf Galaxy stores. The comparable store sales calculation for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 includes Dicks Sporting Goods stores |

only. The Company believes that its comparable stores sales performance was affected by numerous challenges including a difficult macroeconomic environment, declining consumer confidence resulting in lower than anticipated customer traffic and particularly cautious spending. Although the Company believes it has made noticeable progress in improving its merchandise offerings, the effect of those improvements have been hampered by the macroeconomic environment. The Companys current strategy is to target a general overall trend to return to positive comparable store sales growth; although it recognizes that it continues to be affected by many of these factors. The Company believes that its ability to realize such a general overall positive trend in comparable store sales will prove to be a key factor in achieving its targeted levels of earnings per share and continuing its store expansion program to an ultimate goal of at least 800 Dicks locations across the United States. |
| Positive operating cash flow The Company generated $31.7 million of cash flow from operations in the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 while cash flows used by operations totaled $86.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2008. The Company believes that historically, a key strength of its business has been the ability to consistently generate positive cash flow from operations. Strong cash flow generation is critical to the future success of the Company, not only to support the general operating needs of the Company, but also to fund capital expenditures related to new store openings, relocations, expansions and remodels, costs associated with its corporate headquarters and its distribution centers, costs associated with continued improvement of information technology tools and costs associated with potential strategic acquisitions that may arise from time to time. See further discussion of the Companys cash flows in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2 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 receipts and markdowns to reduce cash flow requirements and deliver optimal gross margins by improving merchandise flow and establishing appropriate price points to minimize markdowns. | ||
| Cost reduction efforts The Company implemented numerous initiatives during fiscal 2008 aimed at maintaining tighter expense controls. These initiatives included optimizing the Companys overall advertising costs, costs associated with operating its stores and distribution centers as well as general and administrative costs. The Company has redirected a portion of its advertising costs to enhance consumer penetration by focusing on events, frequency, distribution, media types and sponsorships. The Company has adjusted store staffing levels and operating hours to reflect current and anticipated traffic levels and has focused on energy conservation programs to further lower store operating costs. Staffing adjustments at the Companys distribution centers, including the closure of the Conklin return to vendor facility in March 2009, have been made to reflect anticipated merchandise receipt volumes. The Company has also implemented various administrative cost reduction initiatives, including a freeze on corporate staffing levels other than those necessitated by our back office consolidation of recently acquired businesses, efforts to manage compensation related expenses and reducing travel and entertainment expenses. | ||
| Capital reduction efforts The Company expects to reduce its net capital spending in fiscal 2009 to a projected target of $60 million compared to $115 million in fiscal 2008. The Company plans to scale back its store expansion program to approximately 20 stores during fiscal 2009. This level of store expansion is significantly lower than historical levels and is largely driven by the current economic conditions. The Company has created a capital appropriations committee to approve all capital expenditures in excess of certain amounts and to group and prioritize all capital projects among required, discretionary and strategic. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As discussed in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations section of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
31, 2009, the Company considers its policies on inventory valuation,
vendor allowances, goodwill and
intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and closed
store reserves, business combinations, 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 Companys critical accounting policies during the period ended
May 2, 2009.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OTHER SELECTED DATA
Executive Summary
Net income for the current quarter totaled $10.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, as compared
to net income of $19.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2008.
Net sales for the current quarter increased 5% to $959.7 million, due primarily to new store sales
and the addition of e-commerce sales, partially offset by a comparable store sales decrease of
6.0%. Golf Galaxy is included in the Companys full

Table of Contents
year comparable store sales calculation for fiscal 2009.
As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 232 basis points to 26.09% for the quarter,
due primarily to lower merchandise margins that were impacted by clearance activity at Golf Galaxy
stores, an increase in promotions at Dicks stores, which resulted in better than anticipated gross
margin dollars, and the inventory liquidation at the Chicks stores prior to their
conversion to Dicks stores. Gross profit was further impacted by fixed occupancy expenses that
de-leveraged due to the larger comparable store sales decline in the current quarter compared to
last years quarter.
We ended the first quarter with $116.3 million of outstanding borrowings on our Credit Agreement.
There were no outstanding borrowings as of
January 31, 2009.

13 Weeks Ended May 2, 2009 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended May 3, 2008
Net Income
Net income for the current quarter totaled $10.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, as compared
to net income of $19.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2008.
The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross profit, an increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses and merger and integration costs incurred by the Company in consolidating
Chicks with the Companys pre-existing business.
Net Sales
Net sales for the current quarter increased 5% to $959.7 million, due primarily to new store sales
and the addition of e-commerce sales, partially offset by a comparable store sales decrease of 6.0%. Golf Galaxy is
included in the Companys full year comparable store sales calculation for fiscal 2009.
The decrease in comparable store sales is mostly attributable to sales decreases in exercise, other
footwear, outerwear and outerwear accessories, athletic apparel and team sports. These sales
decreases were partially offset by increases in hunting, guns and athletic footwear.
The
comparable store sales decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in transactions of approximately
2.5% and a decrease of approximately 2.1% in average unit retail price at Dicks
stores, reflecting declining consumer confidence that resulted in lower traffic and more cautious
spending. Every 1% change in comparable store sales would have impacted earnings before income
taxes for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 by approximately $3 million.
Income from Operations
Income from operations decreased to $16.9 million for the current quarter from $34.2 million for
the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.2 million increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses, decreases in gross profit totaling $8.7 million and
$4.4 million of merger and integration costs incurred in consolidating Chicks with
the Companys pre-existing business.
Gross profit decreased 3% to $250.4 million for the current quarter from $259.1 million for the 13
weeks ended May 3, 2008. The 232 basis point decrease is due primarily to a 160 basis point
decrease in merchandise margins that were impacted by
15
Table of Contents
clearance activity at Golf Galaxy stores, an
increase in promotions at Dicks stores, which resulted in better than anticipated gross margin
dollars, and the inventory liquidation at the Chicks stores prior to their
conversion to Dicks stores. Gross profit was further impacted by fixed occupancy expenses that
de-leveraged 36 basis points due to the larger comparable store sales decline in the current
quarter compared to last years quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% to $226.1 million for the current quarter
from $220.0 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2008. The current quarter includes expenses
totaling $5.6 million related to the Companys e-commerce operations. No such expenses were
recorded in fiscal 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of
net sales by 56 basis points due primarily to maintaining store payroll and advertising expenses at
the same levels as last year despite the increase in sales in the current quarter compared to last
year. The Company has adjusted store staffing levels and operating hours to reflect lower customer
traffic levels, and advertising expenses have been lowered along with other operating expenses as
part of the Companys goal to reduce such costs by $40 50 million in fiscal 2009 compared to
fiscal 2008. The Company estimates these cost reductions will be partially offset by approximately
$30 million of costs related to the Companys e-commerce operations for the fiscal year.
The 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 include $4.4 million of merger and integration costs. These costs
are related to the integration of Chicks operations and include duplicative administrative costs,
management and advertising expenses associated with the conversions from Chicks stores to Dicks
stores and severance.
Pre-opening expenses decreased to $3.0 million for the quarter from $4.9 million for the 13 weeks
ended May 3, 2008. Pre-opening expenses were for the opening of nine new Dicks stores and one new
Golf Galaxy store during the quarter. Pre-opening expense in any period fluctuate depending on the
timing and number of new stores which open in preceding and subsequent quarters.
Gain on Sale of Asset
The Company exercised its early buy-out rights on an aircraft lease during the 13 weeks ended May
3, 2008. The Company recognized a $2.4 million pre-tax gain on the subsequent sale of the
aircraft.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, was $1.6 million for the quarter as compared to $3.6 million for the 13
weeks ended May 3, 2008. The Companys average borrowings outstanding on our Credit Agreement
increased to $104.3 million for the quarter from $56.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2008,
due primarily to the repayment of $172.5 million for the Companys senior convertible notes in the
first quarter of fiscal 2009. The average interest rate on the revolving line of credit decreased
by 230 basis points over last year. The retroactive application of FSP 14-1 resulted in the
recognition of additional non-cash interest expense totaling $2.0 million for the 13 weeks ended
May 3, 2008.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate was 33.3% for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 as compared to 40.5%
for the same period last year. The current quarters effective tax rate is impacted by a $1.1
million reduction in income tax expense due to the resolution of an income tax audit for a prior
fiscal year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion has been updated to reflect the effects of the adjustment of previously
reported amounts discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Our primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital improvements, and to support
expansion plans, as well as for various investments in store remodeling, store fixtures and ongoing
infrastructure improvements.

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-holiday inventory increase
being the largest. In the fourth quarter, inventory levels are reduced in connection with holiday
sales and this inventory reduction, combined with proportionately higher net income, typically
produces significant positive cash flow.
Cash provided by operating activities for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 totaled $31.7 million.
The seasonal increase in inventory during the quarter used $125.1 million which was offset by the
seasonal increase in accounts payable which provided $138.8 million. The Companys efforts to
reduce merchandise procurement closer to sales trends in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008
favorably affected first quarter fiscal 2009 cash flows. Net income for the 13 weeks ended May 2,
2009 provided $10.2 million, and the non-cash charge for depreciation and amortization totaled
$25.1 million.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 decreased by $29.2 million, to
$17.9 million as the Company implemented its plan to lower capital expenditures net of deferred
construction allowances and proceeds from sale leaseback transactions by approximately $55 million
in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008. The Companys gross capital expenditures used $29.4
million during the quarter, which related primarily to the opening of new stores, the conversion of
Chicks stores, information systems and administrative and distribution facilities. The Company
generated proceeds from the sale and leaseback of property and equipment totaling $11.5 million in
the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009.
We opened
ten stores during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 as compared to opening twelve stores
during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2008.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009 totaled $43.0 million,
primarily reflecting the Companys purchase of its convertible notes of $172.5 million from the
holders of the notes who exercised their right to cause the Company to purchase the notes. The
Company used availability under its Credit Agreement to fund the purchase. The Companys
borrowings of $116.3 million under the Credit Agreement also reflect the seasonal increase in
inventory. Financing activities also consisted of proceeds from construction allowances received
prior to the completion of construction for stores where the Company is deemed the owner during the
construction period, payments on the Companys other debt obligations and capital leases, bank
overdraft activity and transactions in the Companys common stock and the excess tax benefit from
stock-based compensation. As stock option grants are exercised, the Company will continue to
receive proceeds and a tax deduction; however, the amounts and the timing cannot be predicted.
The Companys liquidity and capital needs have generally been met by cash from operating activities
and borrowings under the Credit Agreement, including up to $75 million in the form of letters of
credit. Borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is generally limited to the lesser of
70% of the Companys eligible inventory or 85% of the Companys inventorys liquidation value, in
each case net of specified reserves and less any letters of credit outstanding. Interest on
outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement currently accrues, at the Companys option, at
a rate based on either (i) the prime corporate lending rate minus the applicable margin of 0.25% or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus
the applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.50%. The applicable margins are based on the level of total
borrowings during the prior three months. The Credit Agreements term expires July 27, 2012.

Table of Contents
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $116.3 million as of May 2, 2009. There were no
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of January 31, 2009. Total remaining
borrowing capacity, after subtracting letters of credit as of May 2, 2009 and January 31, 2009 was
$301.5 million and $417.5 million, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains restrictions regarding the Companys and related subsidiarys
ability, among other things, to merge, consolidate or acquire non-subsidiary entities, to incur
certain specified types of indebtedness or liens in excess of certain specified amounts, to pay
cash dividends or make distributions on the Companys stock, to make certain investments or loans
to other parties, or to engage in lending, borrowing or other commercial transactions with
subsidiaries, affiliates or employees. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may be obligated to
maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 in certain circumstances. The
obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by interests in substantially all
of the Companys personal property excluding store and distribution center equipment and fixtures.
As of May 2, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Cash flows generated by operations and funds available under the Companys Credit Agreement will be
used to satisfy our capital requirements through fiscal 2009. Normal capital requirements are
expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures related to the addition of new stores,
remodeling of existing stores, enhanced information technology, improved distribution
infrastructure and a new corporate headquarters building. Currently, the Company plans to open 20
new Dicks stores, one new Golf Galaxy store and convert 12 Chicks stores to Dicks
stores during fiscal 2009. The Company also plans to relocate one Dicks store during fiscal 2009. The Company plans to lease all of its 2009 new stores. This level
of store expansion is significantly lower than historical levels and is largely driven by the
current economic conditions. Other new business opportunities or store expansion rates
substantially in excess of those presently planned may require additional funding. The Company
currently anticipates receiving landlord allowances at five of its planned 2009 new stores totaling
approximately $20 million. The amount and timing of receipt of these allowances depend, among
other things, upon the timing of new store construction and the ability of landlords to satisfy
their contractual obligations.
The Company currently anticipates the completion of a new corporate headquarters building by
February 2010. The building will be leased by the Company, and the project has been primarily
financed by the developer except for any project scope changes requested by the Company. The
Company does not anticipate any material changes to the project scope and therefore does not
anticipate any material cash requirements in 2009 related to the new corporate headquarters
building.
While there can be no assurance that current expectations will be
realized, the Company expects capital expenditures, net of deferred construction allowances and
proceeds from sale leaseback transactions, to be approximately $60 million in 2009, including Golf
Galaxy and Chicks capital expenditure requirements.
The Company believes that cash flows generated from operations and funds available under our Credit
Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements through fiscal 2009. Other new
business opportunities or store expansion rates substantially in excess of those previously planned
may require additional funding.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
The Companys off-balance sheet contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of May 2,
2009 primarily relate to operating lease obligations, future minimum guaranteed contractual
payments, naming rights and other marketing commitments and letters of credit. The Company has
excluded these items from the consolidated balance sheets in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. There have been no significant changes in the Companys off-balance sheet
contractual obligations or commercial commitments since the end of fiscal 2008.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the Companys market risk exposures from those reported in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, there were no changes in the Companys internal control
over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys 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 (the Exchange Act). Based upon
that evaluation, management, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the
period covered by this Report (May 2, 2009).
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a defendant in two cases which make claims concerning alleged failures to pay wages
and overtime wages as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and applicable state labor
law. The cases were filed in May and November of 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of New York (Tamara Barrus v. Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. and Galyans Trading Company,
Inc. (Barrus) and Daniel Parks v. Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. (Parks)). In September and
October 2006, respectively, a magistrate judge for the U.S. District Court for the Western District
of New York conditionally certified classes for notice purposes under the FLSA in the Barrus and
Parks cases, which the U.S. District Judge upheld. In both cases, the parties and the court agreed
to stay the litigation pending an attempt to resolve all claims through mediation. Mediation
sessions were held in April and August 2007 and November 2008. In the Barrus case, attempts to
resolve the case through settlement at mediation were unsuccessful, and litigation has resumed. We
currently believe that this case does not properly represent a class action, and the Company plans
to vigorously defend this case. In the Parks case, the parties reached an agreement in principle
to settle the case on a class-wide basis, subject to execution of formal settlement documents and
court approval of the proposed settlement.
In addition to the above matters, various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of
business are pending against us. The subject matter of these proceedings primarily includes
commercial, intellectual property, lease disputes and employment issues. The results of those other
proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position, liquidity 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

which could materially affect our business, financial condition, financial results or future
