PITTSBURGH, Pa., November 16, 2010 — Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) today reported sales and earnings results for the third quarter ended October 30, 2010.

Third Quarter Results

The Company reported consolidated non-GAAP net income for the third quarter ended October 30, 2010 of $26.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, excluding an $0.08 per diluted share impact from Golf Galaxy store closure costs. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported consolidated net income for the third quarter ended October 30, 2010 of $16.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation is included in a table later in the release under the heading “Non-GAAP Net Income and Earnings Per Share Reconciliation.”

The third quarter consolidated non-GAAP earnings per diluted share exceeded estimated earnings expectations provided on August 19, 2010 of $0.15 – 0.16 per diluted share. For the third quarter ended October 31, 2009, the Company reported consolidated net income of $18.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2010 increased by 9.0% from the third quarter of 2009 to $1,079.0 million due primarily to a 5.1% increase in consolidated same store sales and the opening of new stores. The 5.1% consolidated same store sales increase consisted of a 3.8% increase in Dick’s Sporting Goods stores, a 2.4% increase in Golf Galaxy and an 82.4% increase in e-commerce.

“We are encouraged by our third quarter performance and our continued progress in driving profitable growth. As a result, we have raised our earnings expectations for the fourth quarter and full year 2010,” said Edward W. Stack, Chairman and CEO. “We are also increasingly optimistic about our future growth opportunities, including the potential to more than double our network of Dick’s Sporting Goods stores and to fuel the growth of our Golf Galaxy and e-commerce businesses, while continuing to drive margin expansion and deliver long-term shareholder value.”

In the third quarter, the Company opened 12 new Dick’s Sporting Goods stores, remodeled eight Dick’s Sporting Goods stores, relocated one Dick’s Sporting Goods store and closed 12 underperforming Golf Galaxy stores.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally accepted accounting principles measure of performance or liquidity and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by the Company that provides a measurement of profitability that eliminates the effect of changes resulting from financing decisions, tax regulations, capital investments and other significant items that may vary from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects the comparability of results. Adjusted EBITDA was determined as follows:
