(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The accompanying Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, Big 5 Corp. and Big 5 Services Corp. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reporting Period

The Company follows the concept of a 52-53 week fiscal year, which ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Fiscal year ~~2019~~2020 is comprised of 5253 weeks and ends on ~~December 29, 2019.~~January 3, 2021. Fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 was comprised of 52 weeks and ended on December ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019. The ~~fiscal interim periods~~first three quarters in fiscal 2020 are each comprised of 13 weeks, and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 is comprised of 14 weeks. The four quarters of fiscal 2019 ~~and 2018 are~~were each comprised of 13 weeks.

Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

In ~~February 2016,~~August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. ~~2016-02,~~ 2018-13, ~~Leases~~Fair Value Measurements (Topic ~~842), which requires lessees~~820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to ~~recognize on~~ the ~~balance sheet assets~~Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and ~~liabilities~~adds certain disclosure requirements for ~~leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with prior GAAP, the recognition, measurement,~~fair value measurements, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend primarily on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike prior GAAP—which required only finance (formerly capital) leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU requires both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU took effect for public companiesis effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. This standard can be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using the modified retrospective approach, which includes certain practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply, including an election to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. ~~2018-10,~~ ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases~~2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and ~~ASU No. 2018-11,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which make improvements to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 and allow entities to not restate comparative periods in transition to ASC 842 and instead report~~ the ~~comparative periods under ASC 840.~~impact from this standard was immaterial.

(continued)

The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2019, coinciding with the standard’s effective date. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company did not restate comparative periods in transition to ASC 842 and instead reported comparative periods under ASC 840. Adoption of the standard resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $262.9 million and operating lease liabilities of $279.7 million as of December 31, 2018. These amounts are based on the present value of such commitments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), which was determined through the development of a synthetic credit rating. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity or cash flows, and had no material impact on beginning retained earnings in fiscal 2019. The Company has implemented new lease administration and accounting software and has developed and mapped new and existing controls in the context of the Company’s control environment. In addition, the Company completed its evaluation of the practical expedients offered and enhanced disclosures required in ASC 842, as well as identified arrangements that contain embedded leases, among other activities, to account for the adoption of this standard. The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard which, among other things, allowed it to carryforward the historical lease classification. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of ROU assets.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Updates~~

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,~~ ~~Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.~~ This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this standard on the consolidated financial statements, the Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company’s accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the proposed amendments and will continue to be expensed as incurred in accordance with existing guidance. This standard does not expand on existing disclosure requirements except to require a description of the nature of hosting arrangements that are service contracts. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, ~~2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. Entities~~2019, and can ~~choose to adopt the new guidance~~be adopted either prospectively or retrospectively. ~~The~~Accordingly, the Company ~~plans to adopt~~adopted the updated disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2018-15 prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and the impact from this standard was immaterial.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes, while also clarifying and amending existing guidance, including interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting.The amendments in this standard apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments in this standard are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities. The Company is evaluating the expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments in this standard to determine their impact.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Interim Financial Statements.

COVID-19 Impact on Concentration of Risk

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout the United States and globally, as public concern about becoming ill with the virus has led to the issuance of recommendations and/or mandates from federal, state and local authorities to practice social distancing or self-quarantine.

The Company primarily operates traditional sporting goods retail stores located in the western United States, with approximately 52% of its stores, along with its corporate offices and distribution center, located in California. Because of this, the Company is subject to regional risks, including the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. Beginning on March 20, 2020, the Company temporarily closed more than one-half of its retail store locations in response to state and local shelter orders related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company was subsequently able to gradually reopen its store locations based on initially qualifying as an “essential” business under applicable regulations and later as a result of the easing of regulatory restrictions on retail operations in the Company’s market areas. As of June 28, 2020, all of the Company’s stores that were temporarily closed due to COVID-19 had reopened for in-store shopping, subject to appropriate social distancing restrictions and with reduced operating hours. New temporary closures of stores may be required if additional orders are issued in response to changing health conditions. Additionally, during the second fiscal quarter, the shelter orders that were in place in the Company’s market areas negatively impacted customer traffic into the Company’s stores. In an effort to promote social distancing protocols, the Company has implemented reduced store hours, limited the number of customers in its stores at any one time and has generally implemented social-distancing guidelines throughout the store operating space. Due to the reduced customer traffic, and in an effort to preserve capital, the Company implemented workforce reductions throughout the organization, and reduced advertising and planned capital spending in fiscal 2020. The Company also reduced merchandise inventory orders, which could impact product availability in the Company’s stores and sales in future periods. The Company may further restrict its store operations and operations in its distribution facility if deemed necessary or if recommended or mandated by authorities.

(continued)

A substantial amount of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad. COVID-19 has also impacted the Company’s supply chain for products sold, particularly those products that are sourced from China. To the extent one or more vendors is negatively impacted by COVID-19, including due to the closure of those vendors’ distribution centers or manufacturing facilities, the Company may be unable to maintain delivery schedules or adequate inventory in its stores.

Use of Estimates

Management makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Interim Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period to prepare these Interim Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. Certain items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of merchandise inventories, property and equipment, lease assets and lease liabilities; valuation allowances for receivables, sales returns and deferred income tax assets; estimates related to stored-value cards and the valuation of share-based compensation awards; and obligations related to litigation, self-insurance liabilities and employee benefits. ~~Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different~~Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and ~~conditions.~~

estimates, events and changes in circumstances arising after June 28, 2020, including those resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in actual outcomes that differ from those contemplated by management’s assumptions and estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer, which includes both retail stores and an e-commerce platform, that offers a broad range of products in the western United States and online. Generally, all revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods. Accordingly, the Company implicitly enters into a contract with customers to deliver merchandise inventory at the point of sale. Collectibility is reasonably assured since the Company only extends immaterial credit purchases to certain municipalities and local school districts.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is for single performance obligations for the following distinct items:

Retail store sales

E-commerce sales

Stored-value cards

For performance obligations related to retail store and e-commerce sales contracts, the Company typically transfers control, for retail stores, upon consummation of the sale when the product is paid for and taken by the customer and, for e-commerce sales, when the product is tendered for delivery to the common carrier. For performance obligations related to stored-value cards, the Company typically transfers control ~~at a point in time~~ upon redemption of the stored-value card through consummation of a future sales transaction. The Company accounts for shipping and handling relative to e-commerce sales as fulfillment activities, and not a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for only one performance obligation, the sale of the product, at shipping point (when the customer gains control).

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period using the fair-value method for share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted with service-only conditions. See Note 10 to the Interim Financial Statements for a further discussion on share-based compensation.

Valuation of Merchandise Inventories, Net

The Company’s merchandise inventories are made up of finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted-average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Average cost includes the direct purchase price of merchandise inventory, net of vendor allowances and cash discounts, in-bound freight-related expense and allocated overhead expense associated with the Company’s distribution center.

~~- 9 -~~

~~BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(continued)~~

Management regularly reviews inventories and records valuation reserves for damaged and defective merchandise, merchandise items with slow-moving or obsolescence exposure and merchandise that has a carrying value that exceeds net realizable value. Because of its merchandise mix, the Company has not historically experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence.

Inventory shrinkage is accrued as a percentage of merchandise sales based on historical inventory shrinkage trends. The Company performs physical inventories of its stores at least once per year and cycle counts inventories at its distribution center throughout the year. The reserve for inventory shrinkage primarily represents an estimate for inventory shrinkage for each store since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date.

These reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future economic conditions, consumer demand and competitive environments differ from expectations.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for recoverability at the lowest level in which there are identifiable cash flows (“asset group”), usually at the store level. ~~Each store typically requires net investments of approximately $0.5 million, excluding ROU assets, in long-lived assets to be held and used, subject to recoverability testing.~~ The carrying amount of ana store asset group includes stores’ property and equipment, leasehold improvements and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. The carrying amount of a store asset group is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the store asset group. When stores are identified as having an indicator of impairment, the Company forecasts undiscounted cash flows over the store asset group’s remaining lease term and compares the undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the store asset group. If the store asset group is determined not to be recoverable, then an impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the store asset group exceeds its fair value, determined using discounted cash flow valuation techniques, ~~and an evaluation of current market value rentals for ROU assets associated with the asset group,~~ as contemplated in ASC 820, Fair Value ~~Measurements.~~Measurements.

- 10 -

BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

The Company determines the ~~sum of the undiscounted~~ cash flows expected to result from the store asset group by projecting future revenue, gross margin and operating expense for each store asset group under evaluation for impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include assumptions about sales growth rates, gross margins and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and the Company’s future expectations, competitive factors in its various markets, inflation, sales trends and ~~inflation.~~other relevant environmental factors that may impact the store under evaluation. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. If economic conditions deteriorate in the markets in which the Company conducts business, or if other negative market conditions develop, the Company may experience additional impairment charges in the future for underperforming stores.

The resulting impairment charge, if any, is allocated to the property and equipment, leasehold improvements and operating lease ROU assets on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. The allocated impairment charge to a long-lived asset is limited to the extent that the impairment charge does not reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset below its individual fair value. The estimation of the fair value of an ROU asset involves the evaluation of current market value rental amounts for leases associated with ROU assets. The estimates of current market value rental amounts are primarily based on recent observable market rental data of other comparable retail store locations. The fair value of an ROU asset is measured using a discounted cash flow valuation technique by discounting the estimated current and future market rental values using a property-specific discount rate.

The Company did not recognize any impairment charges in the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 or ~~2018.~~2019.

Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of December 31, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach and applying transitional relief allowing entities to initially apply the requirements at the adoption date by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, results and disclosures for the reporting periods beginning on December 31, 2018 are reported and presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts and disclosures are not adjusted and continue to be reported and presented under ASC 840, ~~Leases~~. ~~Additionally, the Company elected:~~

~~A package of practical expedients allowing the Company to:~~

~~carry forward its historical lease classification (i.e., it is not necessary to reclassify any existing leases at the adoption date),~~

~~avoid reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, and~~

~~avoid reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases.~~

A practical expedient allowing the Company to not separate lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) from nonlease components (e.g., common area maintenance costs), primarily impacting the Company’s real estate lease population. The election of this practical expedient eliminates the burden of separately estimating the real estate lease and nonlease costs on a relative stand-alone basis.

A practical expedient related to land easements, allowing the Company to carry forward the accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements and eliminated the need to reassess existing lease contracts to determine if land easements are separate leases under ASC 842.

~~- 10 -~~

~~BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(continued)~~

The Company did not elect a practical expedient which would allow the Company to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering lessee options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and to assess impairment of the entity’s ROU assets, since election of this expedient could make adoption more complex given that re-evaluation of the lease term and impairment consideration affect other aspects of lease accounting.

In accordance with ASC 842,Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating and finance leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center, corporate offices, information technology hardware, and distribution center delivery tractors and equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease liabilities are calculated using the effective interest method, regardless of classification, while the amortization of ROU assets varies depending upon classification. Finance lease classification results in a front-loaded expense recognition pattern over the lease term which amortizes the ROU asset by recognizing interest expense and amortization expense as separate components of lease expense and calculates the amortization expense component on a straight-line basis. Conversely, operating lease classification results in a straight-line expense recognition pattern over the lease term and recognizes lease expense as a single expense component, which results in amortization of the ROU asset that equals the difference between lease expense and interest expense. Lease expense for finance and operating leases are included in cost of sales or selling and administrative expense, based on the use of the leased asset, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. ~~Leases~~Variable payments such as property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance related to triple net leases, as well as certain equipment sales taxes, licenses, fees and repairs, are expensed as incurred, and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are excluded from minimum lease payments and are not recorded on the balance ~~sheet and are not material; the~~sheet. The Company recognizes variable lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a collateralized ~~IBR~~incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments. The collateralized IBR is based on a synthetic credit rating that is externally prepared on an annual ~~basis,~~basis. This analysis considers qualitative and ~~which~~quantitative factors based on guidance provided by a rating agency for the consumer durables industry. The Company adjusts the selected IBR quarterly with a company-specific unsecured yield curve that approximates the Company’s market risk profile. The collateralized IBR is also based upon the estimated impact that the collateral has on the IBR. To account for the collateralized nature of the IBR, the Company utilized a notching method based on notching guidance provided by a rating agency whereby the Company’s base credit rating is notched upward as the yield curve on a secured loan is expected to be lower versus an unsecured loan.

The operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances. The operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. ~~Lease~~Operating lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

~~For fiscal 2018, the Company evaluated and classified its leases as either operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with ASC 840.~~

Certain of the leases for the Company’s retail store facilities provide for payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease. Under ~~both~~ ASC ~~840 and~~ 842, these contingent rents are expensed as they accrue.

In response to the large volume of anticipated lease concessions to be granted related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resultant expected cost and complexity of applying the lease modification requirements in ASC 842, the FASB issued Staff Q&A—Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting For Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in April 2020 as interpretive guidance to provide clarity in response to the crisis. The FASB staff indicated that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how they would be accounted for as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the original contract. Consequently, for such lease concessions, an entity will not need to reassess each existing contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist and an entity can elect to apply or not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 to those contracts. The election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract.

(3)	Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values of these instruments due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount for borrowings under the revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to the Company for these borrowings. When the Company recognizes impairment on certain of its underperforming stores, the carrying values of these stores ~~including ROU assets,~~ are reduced to their estimated fair values.

As of ~~September~~June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, ~~and December 30, 2018,~~ the Company’s only significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition were assets subject to long-lived asset impairment related to certain underperforming stores. The Company estimated the fair values of these long-lived assets based on the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable market data of underperforming stores’ specific comparable markets, when available. The Company classified these fair value measurements as Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for which market data are not available and that are developed using the best information available about pricing assumptions used by market participants in accordance with ASC 820.

~~The adoption of~~Company adopted ASC 842 as of December 31, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach and applying transitional relief allowing entities to initially apply the requirements at the adoption date by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, results and disclosures for the reporting periods beginning on December 31, 2018 are reported and presented under ASC 842. Adoption of the standard resulted in ~~recording a non-cash transitional adjustment to~~the initial recognition of operating lease ROU assets of $262.9 million and operating lease liabilities of ~~$262.9 million and~~ $279.7 million ~~respectively,~~ as of December 31, 2018. The difference between the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at transition primarily represented existing deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances, which were derecognized, and existing prepaid rent balances. The Company derecognized deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances of $9.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, in connection with the non-cash transitional adjustment. As a result of adopting ASC 842, the Company also recorded a decrease to retained earnings, which the Company did not consider material, of $0.3 million, net of tax, as of December 31, 2018, reflecting the cumulative effect related to store asset impairment. The adoption of this standard did not ~~materially~~have a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited condensedconsolidated ~~net earnings,~~statements of operations, shareholders’ equity or cash ~~flows.~~flows, and had no material impact on beginning retained earnings in fiscal 2019. Additionally, the Company elected the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard which, among other things, allowed it to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of ROU assets.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company entered into an assignment agreement for a certain store lease. In consideration for the assignment, the Company received an assignment fee of $4.3 million. The assignment is accounted for as a sublease arrangement and the assignment fee has been deferred into accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining balance of this deferred lease revenue as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $1.2 million, and $0.9 million per year will be recognized ratably into revenue over the remaining lease term of approximately 15 months.

Variable lease expense for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 28, 2020 was reduced by $3.0 million for lease abatements related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. See Note 2 to the Interim Financial Statements for a further discussion on lease concessions.

~~In accordance with ASC 842, other information~~Additionally, subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2019, management identified an immaterial correction related to the disclosure of certain variable lease payments.

(6)	Long-Term Debt

On October 18, 2010, the Company, Big 5 Corp. and Big 5 Services Corp. entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, which was amended on October 31, 2011, December 19, 2013 and September 29, 2017 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”), and has a maturity date of September 29, 2022.

The Credit Agreement provides for a ~~revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”)~~Credit Facility with an aggregate committed availability of up to $140.0 million, which amount may be increased (“accordion feature”) at the Company’s option up to a maximum of $165.0 million. On March 30, 2020 the Company exercised the accordion feature of the Credit Agreement and increased the aggregate committed availability under the Credit Facility to $165.0 million to support its liquidity initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company may also request additional increases in aggregate availability, up to a maximum of $200.0 million, in which case the existing lenders under the Credit Agreement will have the option to increase their commitments to accommodate the requested increase. If such existing lenders do not exercise that option, the Company may (with the consent of Wells Fargo, not to be unreasonably withheld) seek other lenders willing to provide such commitments. The Credit Agreement includes a provision which permits the Company to elect to reduce the aggregate committed availability under the Credit Agreement to $100.0 million for a three-month period each calendar year. The Credit Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans.

The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility from time to time, provided the amounts outstanding will not exceed the lesser of the then aggregate availability (as discussed above) and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Loan Cap”). The “Borrowing Base” generally is comprised of the sum, at the time of calculation, of (a) 90.00% of eligible credit card receivables; plus (b) the cost of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible inventory); plus (c) the lesser of (i) the cost of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible in-transit inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible in-transit inventory), or (ii) $10.0 million, minus (d) certain reserves established by Wells Fargo in its role as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either base rate loans or LIBO rate loans. The applicable interest rate on the Company’s borrowings is a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Loan Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Availability”). Those loans designated as LIBO rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable adjusted LIBO rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the table below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), (b) the LIBO rate, plus one percentage point (1.00%), or (c) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time within Wells Fargo as its “prime rate.” The applicable margin for all loans is a function of Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter as set forth below.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a general lien and perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 in certain circumstances, and limit the ability to, among other things, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, change the nature of the business, guarantee obligations, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock, and make advances, loans or investments. The Company may declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase stock only if, among other things, no default or event of default then exists or would arise from such dividend or repurchase of stock and, after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, certain availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are satisfied. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay when due principal amounts with respect to the Credit Facility, failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the Credit Facility for five days after becoming due, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, failure to satisfy certain judgments against the Company, failure to pay when due (or any other default which does or may lead to the acceleration of) certain other material indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, and certain insolvency and bankruptcy events.

(7)	Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is recorded, if necessary, to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. As of ~~September~~June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, ~~and December 30, 2018,~~ the Company had a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets of $1.2 million related to unused California Enterprise Zone Tax Credits, which the Company will no longer be able to carry forward beyond 2024 as a result of California’s termination of this program.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for consolidated federal income tax returns are open for fiscal years 2016 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for fiscal years ~~2014~~2015 and after.

The provision for income taxes for the 3926 weeks ended ~~September 29,~~June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019 ~~and September 30, 2018~~ reflects the write-off of deferred tax assets of ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.4 million, respectively, related to share-based compensation. ~~The provision for~~

On March 27, 2020, the Federal government enacted the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide relief from the impact of COVID-19. Among other relief, the CARES Act allows companies with a net operating loss (“NOL”) in either 2018, 2019 or 2020 to carry back those losses five years. As a result, the Company amended its 2018 income ~~taxes for the current fiscal year was reduced by $0.6~~tax return to carry back its 2018 NOL to a period with a higher statutory tax rate in effect at that time, and received a related income tax refund of $2.1 million in ~~Work Opportunity Tax Credits.~~the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

(8)	Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by shares repurchased and held in treasury, during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards. During periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because the antidilutive effect of potential common shares is disregarded.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based upon the Company’s most recent closing stock price of ~~$2.30~~$1.85 as of ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their option awards as of that date.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s current dividend rate. In order to support its liquidity initiatives throughout the organization as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, early in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 the Company’s Board of Directors suspended its quarterly cash dividend. Due to the uncertainty of future dividend payments when share option awards were granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company did not estimate an expected dividend yield assumption for share option awards granted at that time.

As of ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, there was ~~$0.4~~$0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to ~~nonvested~~ share option awards granted. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~3.0~~2.9 years.

Nonvested Share Awards and Nonvested Share Unit Awards

Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted by the Company vest for employees from the date of grant in four equal annual installments of 25% per year. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted by the Company to non-employee directors for their service as directors, as defined by ASC 718, vest 100% on the earlier of (a) the date of the Company’s next annual stockholders meeting following the grant date, or (b) the first anniversary of the grant date.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the fiscal 13 and 3926 week periods ended ~~September 29,~~June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, ~~and September 30, 2018,~~ and of cash flows for the fiscal 3926 week periods ended ~~September 29,~~June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, ~~and September 30, 2018,~~ and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February ~~27, 2019,~~26, 2020, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding a change in accounting principle. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us”) financial condition and results of operations includes information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (“Interim Financial Statements”) included herein, the Risk Factors included herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and our consolidated financial statements, related notes, Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019.

Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Fiscal ~~2019 includes 52~~2020 is comprised of 53 weeks and ends on ~~December 29, 2019.~~January 3, 2021. Fiscal ~~2018 included~~2019 was comprised of 52 weeks and ended on December ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019. The ~~fiscal interim periods~~first three quarters in fiscal ~~2019 and 2018~~2020 are each comprised of 13 weeks, and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 is comprised of 14 weeks. The four quarters of fiscal 2019 were each comprised of 13 weeks.

Impact of COVID-19

During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout the United States, as public concern about becoming ill with the virus has led to the issuance of recommendations and/or mandates from federal, state and local authorities to practice social distancing or self-quarantine.

Beginning on March 20, 2020, we temporarily closed more than one-half of our retail store locations in response to state and local shelter orders related to the COVID-19 outbreak. We were subsequently able to gradually reopen all store locations based initially on qualifying as an “essential” business under applicable regulations and later as a result of the easing of regulatory restrictions on retail operations in our market areas. Additionally, during the second fiscal quarter, the shelter orders that were in place in our market areas negatively impacted customer traffic into the stores that were operating. In an effort to promote social distancing protocols, we implemented reduced store hours for our open stores and limited the number of customers in our stores at any one time. These temporary store closures, limited hours of operation and shelter orders in our market areas related to the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in reduced same store sales volume. Our same store sales for the second quarter ended June 28, 2020 declined 4.2% from the prior year. Over the first half of the second fiscal quarter, when the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to operate with a significantly reduced store count, our same store sales decreased by 28.2% compared to the prior year period. However, as we began reopening stores, we recognized significant shifts in consumer demand and rapidly evolved our product assortment, and for the second half of the second fiscal quarter our same store sales increased by 15.5% compared to the prior year. As of June 28, 2020, all of our stores that were temporarily closed due to COVID-19 had reopened for in-store shopping, subject to appropriate social distancing restrictions and with reduced operating hours. Subsequent to the end of the second fiscal quarter, new closure orders were issued in California pertaining to indoor malls, which have resulted in the temporary closure of one of our stores. New temporary closures of stores may be required if additional orders are issued in response to changing health conditions.

The initial decrease in sales caused by the COVID-19 outbreak caused us to take various actions to enhance our liquidity. On March 27, 2020, we increased borrowings under our $140.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to $124.3 million. On March 30, 2020, we exercised the accordion feature under our Credit Agreement, which increased the amount available under the Credit Facility to $165.0 million, and we drew down additional amounts under the Credit Facility that resulted in long-term revolving credit borrowings of $143.3 million as of March 31, 2020, our highest borrowing level. Additionally, we have taken measures to reduce expense across the organization, including negotiating lease concessions with landlords that would reduce or defer our lease-related payments, scaling back merchandise inventory orders and extending payment terms with merchandise vendors, reducing a significant amount of our workforce throughout the organization, and reducing advertising and the amount of planned capital spending in fiscal 2020, among other measures. Although a certain portion of these operating expense savings will only benefit the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we expect aspects of these operating expense savings to continue beyond the period.

- 22 -

With our favorable operating results in the second half of the second fiscal quarter, we were able to significantly pay down our debt levels while retaining favorable levels of cash. As of June 28, 2020, we had total outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility of $35.0 million compared to $124.3 million and $66.6 million outstanding as of the first quarter ended March 29, 2020 and fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, respectively. As of June 28, 2020, we had cash of $16.7 million compared to $44.2 million and $8.2 million as of the first quarter ended March 29, 2020 and fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, respectively. In response to the current strength of our balance sheet, operations and cash flow generation, our Board of Directors reinstated our previously-suspended quarterly cash dividend at the previous rate of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock. We declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of outstanding common stock, which reflects our reinstated quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and also includes an additional $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock in recognition that we did not pay a dividend in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. If we are again required to temporarily close a large portion of our stores or we experience a further reduction in store traffic, we may need to take further actions to maintain our operations, including increasing our borrowing levels or suspending dividend payments, depending on how long and to what extent these events impact our business.

Executive Summary

~~Our~~The favorable increase in net income ~~increased to $6.4 million~~ for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily reflected initiatives that we implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that led to favorable margin impacts, significant reductions in employee labor-related expense and substantial reductions in advertising expense and other cost savings, partially offset by decreased net sales that resulted from ~~net income~~store closures in response to the issuance of ~~$3.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 primarily reflecting higher merchandise margins, a favorable impact from costs capitalized into inventory~~state and ~~lower selling and administrative expense.~~local shelter orders.

This ~~increase~~decrease in same store sales compares to a ~~2.0% decrease~~0.7% increase in same store sales for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

Net sales for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 decreased ~~0.1%~~5.4% to ~~$266.2~~$227.9 million compared to ~~$266.4~~$241.0 million for the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to ~~a reduction~~the issuance of state and local shelter orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the temporary closure of more than one-half of our stores on March 20, 2020 and significantly reduced customer traffic at our open stores. We were subsequently able to gradually reopen all store locations during the remainder of the second quarter. This decrease, as well as reductions in sales from permanently closed stores, ~~including lower sales for a store temporarily closed due to a fire,~~were partially offset by added sales from new stores opened since ~~July 1, 2018 and an increase in same store sales.~~March 31, 2019. Same store sales ~~increased~~decreased for our major merchandise categories of apparel and ~~hardgoods,~~footwear, partially offset by ~~decreased~~increased same store sales for our ~~footwear~~hardgoods category.

The increase in gross profit margin resulted mainly from higher merchandise margins and ~~a favorable impact from costs capitalized into inventory, partially offset by higher~~lower store occupancy expense as a percentage of net ~~sales.~~

~~Selling and administrative expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 decreased 1.0% to $76.9 million, or 28.9%~~sales, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from costs capitalized into inventory as a percentage of net sales, compared to $77.7 million, or 29.2% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to lower print advertising expense.sales.

Borrowings as of June 28, 2020 reflected a significant pay-down of the Credit Facility since the end of the first fiscal quarter when, to support our potential additional liquidity needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, we drew down additional amounts under the Credit Facility. We had cash of $16.7 million as of June 28, 2020, compared to $44.2 million, $8.2 million and $6.6 million as of March 29, 2020, December 29, 2019 and June 30, ~~2018.~~2019, respectively.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by ~~$0.2~~$13.1 million, or ~~0.1%~~5.4%, to ~~$266.2~~$227.9 million in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 from ~~$266.4~~$241.0 million in the ~~third~~second quarter last year. The change in net sales reflected the following:

Same store sales decreased by $10.0 million, or 4.2%, for the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2020, versus the comparable 13-week period in the prior year. The decrease in same store sales reflected the following:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local shelter orders were issued in our various market areas that led to the temporary closure of more than one-half of our stores that began on March 20, 2020 and significantly impacted the second quarter of fiscal 2020, resulting in reduced same store sales volume versus the prior year. We have since been able to gradually reopen all store locations during the remainder of the second quarter. Over the first half of the second fiscal quarter, when the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to operate with a significantly reduced store count, our same store sales decreased by 28.2% compared to the prior year period. However, as we began reopening stores, we recognized significant shifts in consumer demand and rapidly evolved our product assortment, and for the second half of the second fiscal quarter our same store sales increased by 15.5% compared to the prior year. As of June 28, 2020, all of our stores that were temporarily closed due to COVID-19 had reopened for in-store shopping, subject to appropriate social distancing restrictions and with reduced operating hours.

Sales for our major merchandise categories of apparel and footwear declined, partially offset by an increase in same store sales for our hardgoods category.

The decrease in same store sales compares to a 0.7% increase in same store sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

Same store sales for a period normally consist of sales for stores that operated throughout the period and the full corresponding prior-year period, along with sales from e-commerce. Our same store sales for the second quarter ended June 28, 2020 include the impact of sales declines resulting from the temporary store closures that began on March 20, 2020. Same store sales comparisons exclude sales from stores permanently closed, or stores in the process of closing, during the comparable periods. Sales from e-commerce in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were not material.

A reduction in sales from permanently closed stores, including ~~lower sales for~~ a store temporarily closed due to a fire, was partially offset by added sales from new stores opened since ~~July 1, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

We experienced decreased customer transactions, due primarily to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, and a higher average sale per transaction in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period last year.

Gross profit decreased by ~~$0.8~~$0.9 million to $72.2 million, or ~~0.3%, for~~31.7% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended ~~September 29, 2019, versus the comparable 13-week period~~June 28, 2020, compared with $73.1 million, or 30.3% of net sales, in the ~~prior~~13 weeks ended June 30, 2019. The influences on gross profit were primarily attributable to the following:

Net sales decreased by $13.1 million, or 5.4%, compared with the second quarter of last year ~~primarily reflecting increased sales~~ ~~for~~as a result of the impact of COVID-19 that led to temporary store closures and reduced customer traffic at our major merchandise categories of apparel and hardgoods, partially offset by a decrease in same store sales for our footwear category.

~~We experienced decreased customer transactions and a higher average sale per transaction~~Distribution expense, including costs capitalized into inventory, increased by $2.3 million, or an unfavorable 129 basis points, in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 compared to the ~~same period~~prior year. The increase primarily reflected lower costs capitalized into inventory corresponding to the decrease in merchandise inventories compared with the second quarter of last ~~year.~~year, combined with lower employee labor and benefit-related expense due to workforce reductions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as lower trucking and fuel costs.

~~Gross Profit~~. Gross profit increased by $3.5 million, or 4.2%, to $86.0 million, or 32.3% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2019, from $82.5 million, or 31.0% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended September 30, 2018. The change in gross profit was primarily attributable to the following:

Merchandise margins, which exclude buying, occupancy and distribution expense, increased by a favorable 94173 basis points compared with the ~~third~~second quarter of last year when merchandise margins decreased by an unfavorable 1080 basis points. The increase primarily reflects a significant shift in our product sales mix towards higher-margin products in May and ~~a decrease in promotional activities.~~

~~Distribution expense, including costs capitalized into inventory, decreased by $2.1 million, or a favorable 78 basis points, in the third quarter~~June of fiscal ~~2019 compared~~2020, as well as lower promotions, as a result of changing consumer demand related to ~~the prior year.

~~Net sales decreased by $0.2 million, or 0.1%~~11.9%, compared with the ~~third~~second quarter of last ~~year.~~year as a result of the favorable impact from lease concessions in the amount of $3.0 million that we negotiated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense decreased by ~~$0.8~~$13.9 million to ~~$76.9~~$58.3 million, or ~~28.9%~~25.6% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, from ~~$77.7~~$72.2 million, or ~~29.2%~~30.0% of net sales, in the ~~third~~second quarter last year. The change in selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to the following:

~~Advertising expense decreased by $0.9 million due mainly to lower newspaper advertising.~~

Store-related expense, excluding occupancy, decreased by ~~$0.7~~$9.4 million due ~~primarily~~largely to ~~reductions in certain employee benefit-related expenses such as health and welfare expense, partially offset by increased~~significantly decreased employee labor ~~expense.Our labor~~and benefit-related expense ~~continues~~as a result of workforce reductions and reduced store operating hours necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as decreases in credit card fees and certain other operating expenses.

The decrease in employee labor-related expense included an employee retention credit provided by the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) to provide relief for employers subject to closure or significant economic downturn due to the impact of COVID-19, which reduced employee labor-related expense by $0.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

These reductions were partially offset by wage pressures that continue to reflect the incremental impact of legislated minimum wage rate increases primarily in California, where over fifty percent of our stores are located. In April 2016, California passed legislation to enact additional state-wide minimum wage rate increases from $10.00 to $15.00 per hour to be implemented in annual increments through fiscal 2022, with annual increases of $0.50 per hour effective in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, and annual increases of $1.00 per hour effective in fiscal 2019 through fiscal 2022. Additionally, certain other jurisdictions within California, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as various other states in which we do business, are implementing their own scheduled increases, which may also include interim impacts effective at various points throughout the year. We estimate that the impact of the California state-wide minimum wage rate increase, combined with the impact of the additional minimum wage rate increases in certain other jurisdictions within California and other states, caused our labor expense to increase by approximately $0.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

Advertising expense decreased by $6.3 million, due mainly to lower print advertising in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 that resulted from the impact of the California state-wide minimum wage rate increase of $1.00 per hour effective in January 2019, combined with the impact of the additional minimum wage rate increases in certain other jurisdictions within California and other states, caused our labor expense to increase by approximately $0.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2018.COVID-19 pandemic.

Administrative expense increased by ~~$0.7~~$1.8 million, primarily attributable to ~~increases~~an increase in certain employee benefit-related expense, ~~and legal expense,~~ partially offset by ~~an insurance recovery.~~decreases in certain other operating expenses that resulted from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, administrative expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was favorably impacted by a settlement related to the termination of a software contract.

Other income. Other income in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 consisted of a cash condemnation settlement related to eminent domain proceedings, as more fully described in Note 9 to the Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest Expense. Interest expense ~~decreased by $0.2 million~~remained flat in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 compared to the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. Interest expense reflects ~~a decrease~~an increase in average debt levels of ~~$28.4~~$51.8 million to ~~$56.2~~$110.9 million in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal 2020 from $59.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, ~~from $84.6 million~~offset by a decrease in average interest rates of approximately 180 basis points to 2.1% in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2018. Average interest rates remained flat~~2020 from 3.9% in the ~~third~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019 at 3.6% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2018.~~2019.

~~We experienced increased customer transactions and a higher average sale per transaction in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to the same period last~~
o
The decrease in same store sales also reflects the negative impact of challenging winter-weather conditions in the first two months of fiscal 2020 compared with the same period in the prior year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, strong sales of winter-related products were driven by highly favorable cold and wet winter weather conditions across our markets compared with warm and dry winter weather conditions this year.

The change in selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to the following:

Store-related expense, excluding occupancy, decreased by $9.4 million, due largely to significantly reduced employee labor and benefit-related expense as a result of workforce reductions necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as decreasesin credit card fees and certain other operating expenses.

The decrease in employee labor-related expense included an employee retention credit provided by the CARES Act to provide relief for employers subject to closure or significant economic downturn due to the impact of COVID-19, which reduced employee labor-related expense by $0.9 million for the first half of fiscal 2020 compared with the first half of fiscal 2019.

We estimate that the impact of the California state-wide minimum wage rate increase, combined with the impact of the additional minimum wage rate increases in certain other jurisdictions within California and other states, caused our labor expense to increase by approximately $1.4 million for the first half of fiscal 2020 compared with the first half of fiscal 2019.

We estimate that the impact of the California state-wide minimum wage rate increase of $1.00 per hour effective in January 2019, combined with the impact of the additional minimum wage rate increases in certain other jurisdictions within California and other states, caused our labor expense to increase by approximately $1.8 million for the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019 compared with~~2020 consisted of a cash condemnation settlement related to eminent domain proceedings, as more fully described in Note 9 to the ~~same period last year.~~Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, we had revolving credit borrowings of ~~$60.6~~$35.0 million and letter of credit commitments of ~~$0.5~~$4.7 million outstanding.

In each ~~of the first three quarters of fiscal 2018 we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of outstanding common stock, and in the fourth~~ quarter of fiscal ~~2018,~~2019 and ~~in each of~~ the first ~~three quarters~~quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock. ~~On October 24, 2019,~~In an effort to enhance financial flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented expense reduction and cash preservation initiatives throughout the organization. In connection with that effort, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 our Board of Directors suspended our quarterly cash dividend. In response to the current strength of our balance sheet, operations and cash flow generation, our Board of Directors reinstated our quarterly cash dividend at the previous rate of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock. We declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of outstanding common stock, which will be paid on September 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of September 1, 2020. The $0.10 cash dividend reflects our reinstated quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock ~~which will be paid on December 13, 2019 to stockholders~~for the third quarter of ~~record as~~fiscal 2020, and also includes an additional $0.05 per share of ~~November 29, 2019.~~outstanding common stock in recognition that we did not pay a dividend in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

We did not repurchase any shares of common stock in the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019 pursuant to our current share repurchase ~~program. In the first nine months of fiscal 2018, we repurchased 75,748 shares of common stock for $0.4 million pursuant to that~~ program. Since the inception of our initial share repurchase program in May 2006 through ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, we have repurchased a total of 3,528,972 shares for $41.8 million.

Credit Agreement. On October 18, 2010, we entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, which was amended on October 31, 2011, December 19, 2013 and September 29, 2017 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”), and has a maturity date of September 29, 2022.

The Credit Agreement provides for a ~~revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”)~~Credit Facility with an aggregate committed availability of up to $140.0 million, which amount may be increased (“accordion feature”) at our option up to a maximum of $165.0 million. As discussed at the beginning of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Impact of COVID-19 section, in order to enhance our financial flexibility and provide liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic, we exercised the accordion feature under our Credit Agreement and increased the aggregate committed availability under the Credit Facility to $165.0 million. We may also request additional increases in aggregate availability, up to a maximum of $200.0 million, in which case the existing lenders under the Credit Agreement will have the option to increase their commitments to accommodate the requested increase. If such existing lenders do not exercise that option, we may (with the consent of Wells Fargo, not to be unreasonably withheld) seek other lenders willing to provide such commitments. The Credit Facility includes a provision which permits us to elect to reduce the aggregate committed availability under the Credit Agreement to $100.0 million for a three-month period each calendar year. The Credit Facility includes a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans.

We may borrow under the Credit Facility from time to time, provided the amounts outstanding will not exceed the lesser of the then aggregate availability (as discussed above) and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Loan Cap”). The “Borrowing Base” generally is comprised of the sum, at the time of calculation, of (a) 90.00% of our eligible credit card receivables; plus (b) the cost of our eligible inventory (other than our eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible inventory); plus (c) the lesser of (i) the cost of our eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of our eligible in-transit inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible in-transit inventory), or (ii) $10.0 million, minus (d) certain reserves established by Wells Fargo in its role as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

~~- 26 -~~

Generally, we may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either base rate loans or LIBO rate loans. The applicable interest rate on our borrowings is a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Loan Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Availability”). Those loans designated as LIBO rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable adjusted LIBO rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the table below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), (b) the LIBO rate, plus one percentage point (1.00%), or (c) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time within Wells Fargo as its “prime rate.” The applicable margin for all loans is a function of Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter as set forth below.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a general lien and perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets. Our Credit Agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 in certain circumstances, and limit our ability to, among other things, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, change the nature of the business, guarantee obligations, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock, and make advances, loans or investments. We may declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase stock only if, among other things, no default or event of default then exists or would arise from such dividend or repurchase of stock and, after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, certain availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are satisfied. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay when due principal amounts with respect to the Credit Facility, failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the Credit Facility for five days after becoming due, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, failure to satisfy certain judgments against us, failure to pay when due (or any other default which does or may lead to the acceleration of) certain other material indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, and certain insolvency and bankruptcy events.

During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic and on March 27, 2020, to support our liquidity, we increased borrowings under our $140.0 million Credit Facility to $124.3 million. On March 30, 2020, we exercised the accordion feature under our Credit Agreement and drew down additional amounts under the Credit Facility that resulted in long-term revolving credit borrowings of $143.3 million as of March 31, 2020, our highest borrowing level. As a result of improved profitability and cash generation activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to significantly pay down our long-term revolving credit borrowings during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. As of ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, we had long-term revolving credit borrowings of ~~$60.6~~$35.0 million and letter of credit commitments of ~~$0.5~~$4.7 million outstanding, compared with borrowings of ~~$65.0~~$66.6 million and letter of credit commitments of ~~$0.5~~$0.7 million as of December ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019. Total remaining borrowing availability, ~~under the Credit Agreement,~~ after subtracting letters of credit, was ~~$78.8~~$125.3 million and ~~$74.5~~$72.7 million as of ~~September~~June 28, 2020 and December 29, 2019, ~~and December 30, 2018,~~ respectively.

Future Capital Requirements. We had cash on hand of ~~$5.0~~$16.7 million as of ~~September 29, 2019.~~June 28, 2020. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reduced the amount of planned capital spending in fiscal 2020. We now expect capital expenditures for fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, excluding non-cash acquisitions, to range from approximately ~~$9.0~~$5.0 million to ~~$12.0~~$9.0 million primarily to fund ~~the opening of new stores,~~ store-related remodeling, distribution center investments and computer hardware and software purchases. For fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, we do not anticipate opening ~~three~~any new stores and we anticipate permanently closing ~~five~~four stores.

Additionally, to enhance our financial flexibility and provide liquidity to fund future capital requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 30, 2020, we exercised the accordion feature under our Credit Agreement, which increased the amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility to $165.0 million. As of June 28, 2020, we had long-term revolving credit borrowings of $35.0 million.

We ~~currently pay~~have historically paid quarterly cash dividends, subject to declaration by our Board of Directors. ~~On October 24, 2019,~~In order to support our liquidity initiatives in response to COVID-19, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 our Board of Directors suspended our quarterly cash dividend. In response to the current strength of our balance sheet, operations and cash flow generation, our Board of Directors reinstated our quarterly cash dividend at the previous rate of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock. We declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of outstanding common stock, which will be paid on September 15, 2020 to stockholders of record as of September 1, 2020. The $0.10 cash dividend reflects our reinstated quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock ~~which will be paid on December 13, 2019 to stockholders~~for the third quarter of ~~record as~~fiscal 2020, and also includes an additional $0.05 per share of ~~November 29, 2019.~~outstanding common stock in recognition that we did not pay a dividend in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

As of ~~September 29, 2019,~~June 28, 2020, a total of $15.3 million remained available for share repurchases under our current share repurchase program. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the first half of fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019. We consider several factors in determining when and if we make share repurchases including, among other things, our alternative cash requirements, existing business conditions and the market price of our stock.

We believe we will be able to fund our cash requirements from cash on hand, operating cash flows and borrowings from ~~our revolving credit facility,~~the Credit Facility, for at least the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations. Our material contractual obligations include operating lease commitments associated with our leased properties and other occupancy expense, finance lease obligations, borrowings under ~~our~~the Credit Facility and other liabilities. Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for our retail store facilities, distribution center and corporate offices. These leases frequently include options which permit us to extend the terms beyond the initial fixed lease term, and we intend to renegotiate most of these leases as they expire. Operating lease commitments also consist of information technology (“IT”) systems hardware, ~~and~~ distribution center delivery ~~tractors.~~tractors and equipment. Additional information regarding our operating and finance leases is available in Notes 2 and 5 to the Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~- 27 -~~

In the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, our revolving credit borrowings decreased by ~~$4.4~~$31.6 million from the end of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. Our ~~lower~~reduced debt levels in fiscal ~~2019~~2020 compared with the prior year end largely reflect ~~our~~the pay-down of the Credit Facility as a result of improved ~~operating results~~profitability and cash generation activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into arrangements with vendors to purchase merchandise in advance of expected delivery. Because most of these purchase orders do not contain any termination payments or other penalties if cancelled, they are not included as outstanding contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2018,~~29, 2019, we consider our estimates on operating and finance leases, valuation of inventory ~~valuation,~~and long-lived assets ~~and self-insurance liabilities~~ to be among the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to these estimates in the 3926 weeks ended ~~September 29, 2019.~~

~~Operating Lease Liabilities~~

~~We adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842,~~ ~~Leases, as of December 31, 2018, coinciding with the standard’s effective date.~~

We have operating and finance leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center, corporate offices, IT systems hardware and distribution center delivery tractors. In accordance with ASC 842, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are calculated using the effective interest method and recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. As our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, we use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments. The collateralized IBR is based on a synthetic credit rating that is externally prepared on an annual basis, and which we adjust quarterly with a yield curve that approximates our market risk profile.

~~Our adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease liabilities of $279.7 million as of December 31, 2018.~~June 28, 2020.

Seasonality and Impact of Inflation

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating results. Seasonality in our net sales influences our buying patterns which directly impacts our merchandise inventory and accounts payable levels and cash flows. We purchase merchandise for seasonal activities in advance of a season and supplement our merchandise assortment as necessary and when possible during the season. Our efforts to replenish products during a season are not always successful. In the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season and the start of the winter selling season, we normally experience higher inventory purchase volumes and increased expense for staffing and advertising. If we miscalculate the consumer demand for our products generally or for our product mix in advance of a season, particularly the fourth quarter, our net sales can decline, which can harm our financial performance. A significant shortfall from expected net sales, particularly during the fourth quarter, can negatively impact our annual operating results.

In fiscal ~~2018,~~2019, and during the first ~~nine months~~half of fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, the impact of inflation and tariffs on products we purchase was minimal. At the end of fiscal 2019, we brought in certain merchandise early in anticipation of future cost increases. We have evolved our product mix to include more branded merchandise which we believe gives us added flexibility to adjust selling prices for purchase cost increases. If we are unable to adjust our selling prices for purchase cost increases that might occur, then our merchandise margins will decline, which will adversely impact our operating results. We do not believe that inflation or tariffs had a material impact on our operating results for the reporting periods.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There have been no material changes~~We are providing the following additional risk factor to supplement the risk factors ~~identified~~contained in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of ~~the Company’s~~our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2018.~~29, 2019.

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has disrupted and is expected to continue to disrupt our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition for an extended period of time.

During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health and economic conditions throughout the United States, as public concern about becoming ill with the virus has led to the issuance of recommendations and/or mandates from federal, state and local authorities to practice social distancing or self-quarantine. Beginning on March 20, 2020, we temporarily closed more than one-half of our retail store locations in response to state and local shelter orders related to the COVID-19 outbreak. We were subsequently able to gradually reopen all of our store locations in some capacity based on either qualifying as an “essential” business under applicable regulations or as a result of the easing of regulatory restrictions on retail operations in our market areas. Subsequent to the end of the second fiscal quarter, new closure orders were issued in California pertaining to indoor malls, which have resulted in the temporary closure of one of the Company’s stores. New temporary closures of stores may be required if additional orders are issued in response to changing health conditions. We have implemented reduced store hours, limited the number of customers in our stores at any one time and have generally implemented social-distancing guidelines throughout our store operating space. As a result of the reduced customer traffic and sales, and in an effort to preserve capital, we implemented workforce reductions throughout the Company, and reduced advertising and planned capital spending in fiscal 2020. We have also reduced merchandise inventory orders, which could impact product availability in our stores and sales in future periods. We may further restrict the operations of our stores and our distribution facility if we deem this necessary or if recommended or mandated by authorities.

As mentioned above, our store locations have been considered an “essential” business under applicable regulations in many of the markets in which we operate. In addition, the states and local jurisdictions in which we operate have begun to ease the regulatory restrictions on retail operations that had been put in place with the shelter orders and, as of June 28, 2020 all of our stores that were temporarily closed due to COVID-19 had reopened for in-store shopping, subject to appropriate social distancing restrictions and with reduced operating hours. Subsequent to the end of the second fiscal quarter, new closure orders were issued in California pertaining to indoor malls, which have resulted in the temporary closure of one of the Company’s stores. If the classification of what is an “essential” business changes in jurisdictions where our stores are located, or the restrictions on retail operations in our markets are reinstituted beyond the closure of indoor malls in California, or other government regulations are adopted pertaining to how we may operate our stores, we may be required to temporarily close or restrict operations at more, if not all, of our stores, which would significantly impact our sales and results of operations. Also, if we do not respond appropriately to the pandemic, or if customers do not perceive our response to be adequate for a particular region or our company as a whole, we could suffer damage to our reputation and our brand, which could adversely affect our business in the future.

COVID-19 has also impacted our supply chain for products we sell, particularly those products that are sourced from China. To the extent one or more of our vendors is negatively impacted by COVID-19, including due to the closure of its distribution centers or manufacturing facilities, we may be unable to maintain delivery schedules or adequate inventory in our stores.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the effects of the outbreak on our customers, employees and vendors, the regulatory response and impact of stimulus measures adopted by local, state and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we could experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future due to a continued erosion in consumer sentiment or the effect of high unemployment on our consumer base. Furthermore, the financial condition of our customers and vendors may be adversely impacted, which may result in a decrease in discretionary consumer spending and our store traffic and sales, and an increase in bankruptcies or insolvencies with respect to our vendors. These events may, in turn, have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. In the event of a prolonged material economic downturn, including circumstances that require us to close a large portion of our stores or cause us to experience a further reduction in store traffic, we may not be able to comply with the financial covenants in our Credit Facility, which could negatively impact our ability to borrow under that facility or with other lenders, negatively impact our liquidity position and may increase our risk of insolvency.
