DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) today provided an update to its full year 2021 outlook that was previously disclosed in Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 23, 2021. The Company also provided a fourth quarter 2021 outlook.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Full Year 2021 Outlook Update
The Company has raised itsfullyear2021earningsperdilutedshareguidanceto$13.70 to 13.79 compared to prior guidance of $12.88 to 13.06. In addition, the Company has raised its full year non-GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance to $15.50 to 15.60 compared to prior guidance of $14.60 to 14.80. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation is included in the table below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
The Company also has raised its full year consolidated same store sales guidance and now expects consolidated same store sales to increase between 25.8% to 26.1%, compared to the previous guidance of between 24% to 25%.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Outlook
The Company expects its fourth quarter 2021 earnings per diluted share will be $3.00 to 3.09. In addition, the Company expects its fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings per diluted share will be $3.45 to 3.55. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation is included in the table below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
The Company also anticipates that its fourth quarter 2021 consolidated same store sales will increase between 3.7% to 4.7%.
Fiscal 2021 Consolidated Same Store Sales
Consolidated same store sales include stores that were temporarily closed during fiscal 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The method of calculating consolidated same store sales varies across the retail industry, including the treatment of temporary store closures as a result of COVID-19. Accordingly, our method of calculating this metric may not be the same as other retailers’ methods. For additional information on consolidated same store sales, please see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2021.
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, non-GAAP income before income taxes, and non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding, 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 believes that excluding non-cash debt discount amortization from its convertible senior notes and including the share impact from the convertible note hedge is useful to investors because it provides a more complete view of the economics of the transaction. 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.
