PITTSBURGH, Nov. 14, 2017 /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 third quarter ended October 28, 2017.

Third Quarter Results

The Company reported consolidated net income for the third quarter ended October 28, 2017 of $36.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to the Company's expectations provided on August 15, 2017 of $0.22 to 0.30 per diluted share. For the third quarter ended October 29, 2016, the Company reported consolidated net income of $48.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted share.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the third quarter ended October 28, 2017 of $31.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. For the third quarter ended October 29, 2016, the Company reported consolidated net income of $53.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. Third quarter 2017 non-GAAP results exclude the benefit from a multi-year sales tax refund. Third quarter 2016 non-GAAP results exclude conversion costs for former Sports Authority ("TSA") stores. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are included in a table later in the release under the heading "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Net sales for the third quarter of 2017 increased 7.4% to approximately $1.94 billion. Consolidated same store sales decreased 0.9%, compared to the Company's guidance of a low single-digit decrease. Third quarter 2016 consolidated same store sales increased 5.2%.

"In the third quarter, we delivered earnings per diluted share and comp sales at the high end of our expectations, with continued double-digit growth in eCommerce. As expected, margins were under pressure in this highly promotional environment, but our strategy for this environment enabled us to continue to capture market share," said Edward W. Stack, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "As we look to the fourth quarter, we are comfortable with our prior implied sales and earnings outlook, and believe we are well positioned to gain additional market share."

Mr. Stack continued, "Looking ahead, we see tremendous opportunity in our industry as it continues to evolve. We plan to make significant investments in our business, which will have a short-term negative impact on our earnings; however, we expect these investments will pay meaningful dividends in the future. We plan to increase investments in our eCommerce business, the technology in our stores and store payroll in order to enhance the customer experience. Meaningful investments will also be made to DICK'S Team Sports HQ, and in the development and support of our private brands. Given these investments, continued gross margin pressure and approximately flat comp sales, we expect earnings per diluted share to decline by as much as 20 percent in 2018."

Omni-channel Development

eCommerce sales for the third quarter of 2017 increased approximately 16%. eCommerce penetration for the third quarter of 2017 was 10.3% of total net sales, compared to 9.6% during the third quarter of 2016.

In the third quarter, the Company opened 15 new DICK'S Sporting Goods stores and six new Field & Stream stores. The Company also closed two specialty concept stores. As of October 28, 2017, the Company operated 719 DICK'S Sporting Goods stores in 47 states, with approximately 38.2 million square feet, 98 Golf Galaxy stores in 32 states, with approximately 2.1 million square feet, and 35 Field & Stream stores in 16 states, with approximately 1.6 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 third quarter of 2017 with approximately $112 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $455 million in 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 $343 million to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends.

Total inventory increased 4.1% at the end of the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the end of the third quarter of 2016.

The Company reported consolidated net income for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 of $207.5 million, or $1.91 per diluted share. For the 39 weeks ended October 29, 2016, the Company reported consolidated net income of $197.2 million, or $1.75 per diluted share.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 2017 of $197.0 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, excluding a corporate restructuring charge, conversion costs for former TSA stores, income related to a contract termination payment and the benefit from a multi-year sales tax refund.

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, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA 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.

    Adjusted EBITDA
    ---------------


    Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally accepted accounting principles measure of performance or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA,
     as the Company has calculated it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by the Company that provides
     a measurement of profitability that eliminates the effect of changes resulting from financing decisions, tax regulations, capital investments and certain non-recurring,
     infrequent or unusual items.
