ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(c) Exhibits
Exhibit 99.1 Portions of the electronic slides used in the presentation by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. at the Merrill Lynch Retailing Leaders & Consumer Products Conference on March 23, 2004, 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 March 23, 2004, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) presented at the Merrill Lynch Retailing Leaders & Consumer Products Conference. Portions of electronic slides used in that presentation are being furnished hereunder pursuant to Item 12 of Form 8-K. A copy of all the electronic slides from the presentation and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used therein are posted on the investor relations portion of the Company’s website.
Because the electronic slides being furnished hereunder also include certain non-GAAP financial information, the Company is also required as part of this Form 8-K to include in the form certain reconciliations. The following tables set forth reconciliations of that non-GAAP financial information in the furnished slides to the most directly comparable GAAP information for the stated periods. This non-GAAP financial information is as follows: EBITDA and ROIC for fiscal 2003 of $107.4 million and 11.8%, respectively and EBITDA for the 13 weeks ended January 31, 2004 of $48.2 million.
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.
ROIC, as the Company has calculated it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. ROIC is a key metric used by the Company in evaluating the efficiency of its use of capital including debt and lease commitments.
