ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(c) Exhibits
Exhibit 99.1 Press release dated May 18, 2004 by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. furnished herewith.
ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
This information and the exhibits hereto are being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of, or otherwise regarded as filed under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information contained in this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Registrant with the SEC, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
On May 18, 2004, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. issued a press release announcing its results for the fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2004 and certain other information that is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The press release included as Exhibit 99.1 contains a non-GAAP financial measure (as the term is defined in Regulation G). The non-GAAP measure EBITDA included in our press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure. As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
EBITDA for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 and the last 12 months ended May 1, 2004 was $23.1 million and $115.6 million, respectively. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally accepted accounting principles measure of performance or liquidity. EBITDA, as the Company has calculated it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 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, and capital investments.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
