Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” unless specified otherwise) is a leading omni-channel sporting goods retailer offering an extensive assortment of authentic, high-quality sports equipment, apparel, footwear and accessories through its dedicated teammates, in-store services and unique specialty shop-in-shops. The Company also owns and operates Golf Galaxy and Field & Stream specialty stores, as well as GameChanger, a youth sports mobile app for scheduling, communications and live scorekeeping. The Company offers its products through an eCommerce platform that is integrated with its store network and provides customers with the convenience and expertise of a 24-hour storefront. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise specifies, any reference to “year” is to the Company’s fiscal year. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all the disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2020. Operating results for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2021 or any other period. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts within the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year presentation. COVID-19 Update In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease caused by the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic, which continued to spread globally and throughout the United States. In response to the public health crisis posed by COVID-19, the Company prioritized the health and safety of our teammates and athletes and temporarily closed its stores to the public after the close of business on March 18, 2020. The Company also closed its corporate office, using its business continuity plans to operate corporate support functions under remote work arrangements that currently remain in place. The temporary store closures had a negative impact on the Company’s first quarter results. In response to the potential impacts and uncertainty about the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company took precautionary measures to increase and maintain its liquidity, which included reductions in planned operating expenses, inventory receipts and planned capital expenditures, negotiating rent deferrals with landlords, increasing the borrowing capacity on its Credit Facility and issuing $575 million of convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Senior Notes”), which added over $500 million of net proceeds to the Company’s cash position, among other actions. Subsequent to the end of the first fiscal quarter, the Company reopened all of its stores by the end of June, which contributed to a sales increase of approximately 20.1% in the quarter ended August 1, 2020 compared to the quarter ended August 3, 2019. As a result of the Company’s second quarter results and the aforementioned precautionary measures taken to increase and maintain its liquidity, the Company ended the second quarter of fiscal 2020 with $1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, with no borrowings outstanding on its Credit Facility. In addition, on March 27, 2020, the United States Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which among other things, promulgated various income tax provisions, including but not limited to, modifications for net operating losses, an accelerated time frame for refunds associated with prior minimum taxes and modifications of the limitation on business interest (see Note 7 for further discussion). The CARES Act also provides for refundable employee retention tax credits and the deferral of the employer-paid portion of social security taxes. During the year to date period in fiscal 2020, employee retention tax credits reduced the Company’s operating expenses by approximately $16.6 million. In addition, the Company is deferring qualified payroll and other tax payments as permitted by the CARES Act, which totaled approximately $22.4 million as of August 1, 2020. The Company continues to consider and assess the potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on the Company’s operations, including the assumptions and estimates used to prepare its interim financial statements such as the Company’s inventory valuations, deferred tax valuation allowances, fair value measurements and potential asset impairment charges. These assumptions and estimates may change in the future as new events occur and additional information is obtained. If the COVID-19 pandemic causes current economic conditions to further deteriorate and negatively impact consumer spending, such future changes may have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity. As a result of actions taken to support its teammates as well as the impacts of temporary store closures, the Company incurred approximately $42 million and $76 million of incremental compensation and safety costs for the quarterly and year to date periods ended August 1, 2020, respectively. In addition, the quarter ended August 1, 2020 included the recovery of approximately $28 million of inventory write-downs that the Company recorded in the first quarter, due to better than anticipated second quarter sales. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which introduces new guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses and the timing of the recognition of such losses. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures. Intangible Assets In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 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,” which 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. The Company adopted Subtopic 350-40 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 using a prospective approach; the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures, which is not expected to be significant. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendments in this ASU can be applied anytime between the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The impact of Topic 848 on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures is not expected to be significant. Convertible Instruments In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from the primary contract. ASU 2020-06 also enhances transparency and improves disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share guidance. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the Company's financial statements but anticipates that it will result in a reduction in non-cash interest expense related to the Convertible Senior Notes. |
