Third Quarter Results

The Company reported consolidated net income for the third quarter ended October 27, 2012 of $50.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, exceeding the Company’s earnings expectations provided on August 14, 2012 of $0.36 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting the Company’s financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company provides information regarding net income and earnings per diluted share adjusted for certain non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items; earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, adjusted to exclude certain significant gains and losses (“Adjusted EBITDA”); a reconciliation from the Company’s gross capital expenditures, net of tenant allowances; and calculations of consolidated and Dick’s Sporting Goods new store productivity.  These measures are considered non-GAAP and are not preferable to GAAP financial information; however, the Company believes this information provides additional measures of performance that the Company’s management, analysts and investors can use to compare core, operating results between reporting periods.
