PITTSBURGH, March 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS), the largest U.S. based full-line omni-channel sporting goods retailer, today reported sales and earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year ended February 2, 2019.

Fourth Quarter Results (13 weeks compared to 14 weeks last year)

The Company reported consolidated net income for the fourth quarter ended February 2, 2019 of $102.6 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, which was negatively impacted by approximately $0.08 per diluted share versus last year due to the shifted calendar. The Company reported consolidated net income for the fourth quarter ended February 3, 2018 of $116.0 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, which was positively impacted by approximately $0.09 per diluted share for the 14^th week.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the fourth quarter ended February 3, 2018 of $127.3 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, which was positively impacted by approximately $0.09 per diluted share for the 14^th week. GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are included in a table later in the release under the heading "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Adjusted for the calendar shift due to the 53^rd week in fiscal 2017, which the Company believes is the best view of its business, consolidated same store sales decreased 2.2% on a 13-week to 13-week comparable basis. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2018 decreased 6.5% to approximately $2.49 billion. Based on an unshifted calendar, consolidated same store sales for the fourth quarter decreased 3.7%. Fourth quarter 2017 consolidated same store sales decreased 2.0%.

"We are pleased with our fourth quarter results. Our core business performed quite well, as our athletes have responded positively to many of our initiatives, resulting in comp sales gains across key categories and double digit percentage increases in eCommerce and private brand sales," said Edward W. Stack, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "For 2018, we delivered earnings near the high end of our expectations, which represents an 8% increase over last year. This achievement is the direct result of the hard work and commitment from our over 40,000 talented teammates."

Mr. Stack continued, "As we look forward to 2019, we are enthusiastic about our business and expect to return to positive comp sales beginning in the second quarter. We will continue to make significant investments in our business to meet our athletes' ever-changing needs and grow our leadership position in the industry."

"In 2019, we are focused on enhancing our athletes' experience in our stores, improving our eCommerce fulfillment capabilities and elevating our technology talent and capabilities," added Lauren R. Hobart, President of DICK'S Sporting Goods. "This is an exciting time for our Company as we remain focused on building the best omni-channel experience in sporting goods."

Omni-channel Development

Adjusted for the calendar shift due to the 53^rd week in 2017, eCommerce sales for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased approximately 17%. eCommerce penetration for the fourth quarter of 2018 was approximately 23% of total net sales, compared to approximately 19% during the fourth quarter of 2017.

In the fourth quarter, the Company closed three DICK'S Sporting Goods stores. As of February 2, 2019, the Company operated 729 DICK'S Sporting Goods stores in 47 states, with approximately 38.6 million square feet, 94 Golf Galaxy stores in 32 states, with approximately 1.9 million square feet and 35 Field & Stream stores in 16 states, with approximately 1.7 million square feet.

Store count, square footage and new stores are listed in a table later in the release under the heading "Store Count and Square Footage."

Balance Sheet

The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2018 with approximately $114 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Over the course of the last 12 months, the Company continued to invest in omni-channel growth, while returning over $412 million to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends.

Total inventory increased 6.6% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2017. This planned increase was due primarily to strategic investments to support key growth categories.

Full Year Results (52 weeks compared to 53 weeks last year)

The Company reported consolidated net income for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2019 of $319.9 million, or $3.24 per diluted share. The Company reported consolidated net income for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2018 of $323.4 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, which included approximately $0.09 per diluted share for the 53^rd week.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 2018 of $324.3 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, which also included approximately $0.09 per diluted share for the 53^rd week. GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are included in a table later in the release under the heading "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Adjusted for the calendar shift due to the 53^rd week in 2017 consolidated same store sales decreased 3.1% on a 52-week to 52-week comparable basis. Net sales for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2019 decreased 1.8% from last year's 53 week period to approximately $8.44 billion.

Capital Allocation

On February 22, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.275 per share on the Company's Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The dividend is payable in cash on March 29, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2019. This dividend represents an increase of approximately 22% over the Company's previous quarterly per share amount and is equivalent to an annualized rate of $1.10 per share.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company repurchased 957,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $35.23 per share, for a total cost of $33.7 million. In total for 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 9.6 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $33.78 per share, for a total cost of $323.4 million, and has approximately $433 million remaining under its authorization that extends through 2021.

Full Year 2019 Outlook

Based on an estimated 95 million diluted shares outstanding, the Company currently projects earnings per diluted share to be approximately $3.15 to 3.35, which includes approximately $30 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, of net investments in business transformation initiatives. The Company's earnings per diluted share guidance includes the expectation of share repurchases to fully offset dilution in 2019. The Company reported earnings per diluted share of $3.24 for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2019.

Consolidated same store sales are currently expected to be approximately flat to an increase of 2%, compared to a 3.1% decrease in 2018. The Company expects to deliver positive consolidated same store sales beginning in the second quarter.

The Company expects to open seven new DICK'S Sporting Goods stores and relocate three DICK'S Sporting Goods stores in 2019. The Company also expects to open two new Golf Galaxy stores and relocate one Golf Galaxy store in 2019. Six of the new stores are expected to open during the third quarter.

In 2019, the Company anticipates capital expenditures to be approximately $230 million on a gross basis and approximately $200 million on a net basis. In 2018, capital expenditures were $198 million on a gross basis and $170 million on a net basis.

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 consolidated non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain 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.
