Explanatory Note
The purpose of this amendment on Form 10-Q/A to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. for the quarterly period ended May 1, 2004 is to restate our consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003 and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 1, 2004 and January 31, 2004 and related disclosures, as described in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional information about the decision to restate these financial statements can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2005.
Except for the foregoing amended information required to reflect the effects of the restatement, this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe conditions as presented in the original report on Form 10-Q, except as required to reflect the effects of the restatement. The Form 10-Q/A generally does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-Q, or modify or update those disclosures, including the exhibits to the Form 10-Q affected by subsequent events. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the original filing of the Form 10-Q on May 19, 2004. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-Q, including any amendments to those filings. The following items have been amended (and conforming changes have been made where indicated as restated) as a result of the restatement:
| Part I Item 1 Financial Statements | |||
| Part I Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations | |||
| Part I Item 4 Controls and Procedures |
In March 2005, the Company concluded that its lease accounting policy and accounting treatment of construction allowances were not consistent with generally accepted accounting standards. The Company corrected its lease accounting policy such that the commencement date of the lease term will be the earlier of the date rent payments begin, the date the Company takes possession of the property for the initial setup of fixtures and merchandise or, in certain circumstances, the date the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction purposes. In those circumstances where the commencement date of the lease term begins when the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction purposes, the rent expense from that commencement date through the earlier of the date rent payments begin or the date the Company takes possession of the property for the initial setup of fixtures and merchandise is capitalized with a corresponding increase in long-term deferred liabilities.
In addition, the Company had historically accounted for construction allowances as reductions of the related leasehold improvement asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and capital expenditures in investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company determined that the appropriate interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases, required these allowances to be recorded as deferred liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a component of operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The effect of the restatement on the Companys previously released Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is a reduction of net income of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003, respectively. We have corrected these errors through our restatement. The effect of the restatement on previously released earnings per share is a reduction in earnings per share of $0.01 for each of the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003.
The effect of the restatement on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is an increase in property and equipment of $45.1 million as of May 1, 2004, and an increase in long-term deferred liabilities of $49.0 million as of May 1, 2004. In addition, there is an increase in the deferred tax asset of $1.6 million as of May 1, 2004, and a decrease in retained earnings of $2.4 million as of May 1, 2004.
This restatement of previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements does not have an effect on total net cash flows during any of the periods restated. Certain reclassifications result including the classification of construction allowances and capitalized rent within operating activities with a corresponding increase in capital expenditures.
See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us, in accordance with the requirements for 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. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to year is to our fiscal year and when used in this Form 10-Q/A and unless the context otherwise requires, the terms Dicks, we, us, the Company and our refer to Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. and its subsidiary.
2. Unaudited Interim Financial Data
The interim financial information as of May 1, 2004 and for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003 is unaudited and has been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, dated March 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 29, 2005 or any other period.
3. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In March 2005, the Company concluded that its lease accounting policy and accounting treatment of construction allowances were not consistent with generally accepted accounting standards. The Company corrected its lease accounting policy such that the commencement date of the lease term will be the earlier of the date rent payments begin, the date the Company takes possession of the property for the initial setup of fixtures and merchandise or, in certain circumstances, the date the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction purposes. In those circumstances where the commencement date of the lease term begins when the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction purposes, the rent expense from that commencement date through the earlier of the date rent payments begin or the date the Company takes possession of the property for the initial setup of fixtures and merchandise is capitalized with a corresponding increase in long-term deferred liabilities.
In addition, the Company had historically accounted for construction allowances as reductions of the related leasehold improvement asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and capital expenditures in investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company determined that the appropriate interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases, required these allowances to be recorded as deferred liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a component of operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The effect of the restatement on the Companys previously released Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is a reduction of net income of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003, respectively. We have corrected these errors through our restatement. The effect of the restatement on previously released earnings per share is a reduction in earnings per share of $0.01 for each of the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003.
The effect of the restatement on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is an increase in property and equipment of $45.1 million as of May 1, 2004, and an increase in long-term deferred liabilities of $49.0 million as of May 1, 2004. In addition, there is an increase in the deferred tax asset of $1.6 million as of May 1, 2004, and a decrease in retained earnings of $2.4 million as of May 1, 2004.
This restatement of previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements does not have an effect on total net cash flows during any of the periods restated. Certain reclassifications result including the classification of construction allowances and capitalized rent within operating activities with a corresponding increase in capital expenditures.
The impacts of these restatements on the consolidated financial statements are summarized below (in thousands, except per share data):

4. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options. The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The aggregate number of shares, totaling 4,388,024, that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of our $172.5 million issue price of senior convertible notes was excluded from the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 calculation as they were anti-dilutive.
The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

5. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized where the exercise price of the option was equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The pro-forma net income and earnings per share in the following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

6. Senior Convertible Notes
On February 18, 2004, the Company completed a private offering of $172.5 million issue price of senior unsecured convertible notes due 2024 (senior convertible notes) in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Net proceeds of $146.0 million to the Company are net of estimated transaction costs associated with the offering of $5.8 million, and the net cost of a convertible bond hedge and a separate warrant transaction. The hedge and warrant transactions effectively increase the conversion premium associated with the senior convertible notes during the term
11
of these transactions from 40% to 100%, or from $39.31 to $56.16 per share, thereby reducing the potential dilutive effect upon conversion.
The senior convertible notes bear interest at an annual rate of 2.375% of the issue price payable semi-annually on August 18th and February 18th of each year until February 18, 2009, with the first interest payment to be made on August 18, 2004. After February 18, 2009, the senior convertible notes will not pay cash interest but the initial principal amount of the notes will accrete daily at an original issue discount rate of 2.625%, until maturity on February 18, 2024, when a holder will receive $1,000 per note. The senior convertible notes are convertible into the Companys common stock (the common stock) at an initial conversion price in each of the first 20 fiscal quarters following issuance of the notes of $39.31 per share, upon the occurrence of certain events. Thereafter, the conversion price per share of common stock increases each fiscal quarter by the accreted original issue discount for the quarter. Upon conversion of a note, unless the Company is in default, the Company is obligated to pay cash in lieu of issuing some or all of the shares of common stock, in an amount up to the accreted principal amount of the note, and whether any shares of common stock are issuable in addition to this cash payment would depend upon the then market price of the Companys common stock. The senior convertible notes will mature on February 18, 2024, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Company may redeem the notes at any time on or after February 18, 2009, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of the issue price, accrued original discount and any accrued cash interest, if any. The total face amount of the senior convertible notes was $255.1 million prior to the original discount of $82.6 million.
Concurrently with the sale of the senior convertible notes, the Company purchased a bond hedge designed to mitigate the potential dilution from the conversion of the senior convertible notes. Under the five year terms of the bond hedge, one of the initial purchasers (the counterparty) will deliver to the Company upon a conversion of the bonds a number of shares of common stock based on the extent to which the then market price exceeds $39.31 per share. The aggregate number of shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of the senior convertible notes is 4,388,024 shares.
The cost of the purchased bond hedge was partially offset by the sale of warrants (the warrants) to acquire up to 8,775,948 shares of the common stock to the counterparty with whom the Company entered into the bond hedge. The warrants are exercisable in year five at a price of $56.16 per share. The warrants may be settled at the Companys option through a net share settlement or a net cash settlement, either of which would be based on the extent to which the then market price exceeds $56.16 per share.
The net effect of the purchased bond hedge and the warrants is to either reduce the potential dilution from the conversion of the senior convertible notes if the Company elects a net share settlement or to increase the net cash proceeds of the offering if a net cash settlement is elected if the senior convertible notes are converted at a time when the market price of the common stock exceeds $39.31 per share. There would be dilution from the conversion of the senior convertible notes to the extent that the then-market price per share of the common stock exceeds $56.16 at the time of conversion.
7. Short-term and Long-term Investments
The Companys short-term and long-term investments consist of investment-grade marketable debt securities, all of which are classified as held-to-maturity as the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. These securities are recorded at amortized cost. Long-term investments mature between one and two years.
8. Stock Split
On February 10, 2004, the Companys Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split, in the form of a stock dividend, of the Companys common shares for stockholders of record on March 19, 2004. The split became effective on April 5, 2004 by issuing our stockholders of record one additional share of common stock for every share of common stock held, and one additional share of Class B common stock for every share of Class B common stock held. The applicable share and per-share data for all periods included herein have been restated to give effect to this stock split.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We caution that any forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A or made by our management involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors, many of which may be beyond our control. Accordingly, our future performance and financial results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. You can identify these statements as those that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or advancements and by forward-looking words such as believe, anticipate, expect, estimate, predict, intend, plan, project, will, will be, will continue, will result, could, may, might or any variations of such words or other words with similar meanings. Forward-looking statements address, among other things, our expectations, our growth strategies, including our plans to open new stores, our efforts to increase profit margins and return on invested capital, plans to grow our private label business, projections of our future profitability, results of operations, capital expenditures or our financial condition or other forward-looking information and includes statements about revenues, earnings, spending, margins, liquidity, store openings and operations, inventory, private label products, our actions, plans or strategies.
The following factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect our financial performance and actual results and could cause actual results for 2004 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements included in this report or otherwise made by our management: the intense competition in the sporting goods industry and actions by our competitors; our inability to manage our growth, open new stores on a timely basis and expand successfully in new and existing markets; the availability of retail store sites on terms acceptable to us; the cost of real estate and other items related to our stores; our ability to access adequate capital; changes in consumer demand; risks relating to product liability claims and the availability of sufficient insurance coverage relating to those claims; our relationships with our suppliers, distributors or manufacturers and their ability to provide us with sufficient quantities of products; any serious disruption at our distribution or return facility; the seasonality of our business; the potential impact of natural disasters or national and international security concerns on us or the retail environment; risks related to the economic impact or the effect on the U.S. retail environment relating to instability and conflict in the Middle East or elsewhere; risks relating to the regulation of the products we sell, such as hunting rifles; risks associated with relying on foreign sources of production; risks relating to implementation of new management information systems; risks relating to operational and financial restrictions imposed by our senior secured revolving credit facility; factors associated with our pursuit of strategic acquisitions; the loss of our key executives, especially Edward W. Stack, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; our ability to meet our labor needs; changes in general economic and business conditions and in the specialty retail or sporting goods industry in particular; our ability to repay or make the cash payments under our senior convertible notes due 2024; our expansion plans at our distribution facility; changes in our business strategies and other factors discussed in other reports or filings filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; therefore, new risk factors can arise, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We do not assume any obligation and do not intend to update any forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW (restated)
The Company is an authentic full-line sporting goods retailer offering a broad assortment of brand-name sporting goods equipment, apparel and footwear in a specialty store environment. As of May 1, 2004, the Company operated 169 stores in 27 states throughout the Eastern half of the United States.
In March 2005, the Company concluded that its lease accounting policy and accounting treatment of construction allowances were not consistent with generally accepted accounting standards. The Company corrected its lease accounting policy such that the commencement date of the lease term will be the earlier of the date rent payments begin, the date the Company takes possession of the property for the initial setup of fixtures and merchandise or, in certain circumstances, the date the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction purposes. In those circumstances where the commencement date of the lease term begins when the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction purposes, the rent expense from that commencement date through the earlier of the date rent payments begin or the date the
13
Company takes possession of the property for the initial setup of fixtures and merchandise is capitalized with a corresponding increase in long-term deferred liabilities.
In addition, the Company had historically accounted for construction allowances as reductions of the related leasehold improvement asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and capital expenditures in investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company determined that the appropriate interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases, required these allowances to be recorded as deferred liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a component of operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The effect of the restatement on the Companys previously released Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is a reduction of net income of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003, respectively. We have corrected these errors through our restatement. The effect of the restatement on previously released earnings per share is a reduction in earnings per share of $0.01 for each of the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003.
The effect of the restatement on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is an increase in property and equipment of $45.1 million as of May 1, 2004, and an increase in long-term deferred liabilities of $49.0 million as of May 1, 2004. In addition, there is an increase in the deferred tax asset of $1.6 million as of May 1, 2004, and a decrease in retained earnings of $2.4 million as of May 1, 2004.
This restatement of previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements does not have an effect on total net cash flows during any of the periods restated. Certain reclassifications result including the classification of construction allowances and capitalized rent within operating activities with a corresponding increase in capital expenditures.
See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The accompanying Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to such restatement.

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, inventory shrinkage, freight, distribution and store occupancy costs. Store occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset based taxes, store maintenance, utilities, depreciation, fixture lease expenses and certain insurance expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising,
14
bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Companys corporate headquarters.
Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs incurred prior to a new store opening.
Interest expense, net results primarily from interest on our senior convertible notes and senior secured revolving credit facility partially offset by interest income from the Companys investments in marketable securities and held-to-maturity investments.
13 Weeks Ended May 1, 2004 Compared to the 13 Weeks Ended May 3, 2003
Net Income
Our net income increased by $4.1 million, or 63.1%, to $10.6 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from $6.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. This represented an increase in diluted earnings per share of $.07, or 54%, to $0.20 from $0.13.
Net Sales
Net sales increased by $59.5 million, or 19.5%, to $364.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from $304.7 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. This increase resulted from a comparable store sales increase of 4.6%, or $13.5 million, and $46.0 million in new store sales, which reflected the opening of six new stores for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 compared to the opening of eight new stores and one relocated store for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. The increase in comparable store sales is mostly attributable to sales increases in mens, womens and kids athletic footwear and apparel, golf, team sports and paintball, partly offset by lower sales of in-line skates, hunting, bikes and camping.
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased by $6.0 million, or 53.1%, to $17.3 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from $11.3 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. The increase in income from operations is primarily a result of increased gross profit.
Gross profit increased by $19.9 million, or 24.0%, to $102.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from $82.9 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 28.2% for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from 27.2% for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to improved selling margins in the majority of the Companys product categories. In addition, the gross profit percentage improved due to improved productivity at the Companys distribution center and the leverage obtained on store occupancy costs from the increase in sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $13.4 million to $82.2 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from $68.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses was unchanged at 22.6% for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, as compared to 22.6% for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. Although unchanged from the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003, the Company saw increases in net advertising expenditures and incentive compensation expense, which was offset by the leverage obtained on payroll expenses from the increase in sales and last years first quarter containing higher information systems costs.
Pre-opening expenses increased by $0.5 million to $3.3 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from $2.8 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. Pre-opening expenses were for the addition of six new stores for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 compared to the opening of eight new stores and one relocated store for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net increased by $0.1 million to $0.6 million for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004, from $0.5 million for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003 due primarily to $0.9 million of interest expense on our senior convertible notes issued on February 18, 2004 partially offset by interest income of $0.6 million from our investments in marketable securities and held-to-maturity investments.
Other Income
Other income included a $1.0 million award arising out of a court order related to our unsuccessful effort to acquire the assets of Bobs Stores, Inc.
15
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary capital requirements are for inventory, capital improvements, and pre-opening expenses to support expansion plans, as well as for various investments in store remodeling, store fixtures and ongoing infrastructure improvements. The Companys main sources of liquidity for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 have been the net proceeds from the issuance of the senior convertible notes and proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions.
The change in cash and cash equivalents is as follows:
13 Weeks Ended | ||||||||
May 1, | May 3, | |||||||
2004 | 2003 | |||||||
Net cash used in operating activities |
$ | (22,552 | ) | $ | (40,615 | ) | ||
Net cash used in investing activities |
(52,640 | ) | (7,630 | ) | ||||
Net cash provided by financing activities |
154,296 | 52,873 | ||||||
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents |
$ | 79,104 | $ | 4,628 | ||||
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 decreased by $18.0 million, or 44.3%, to $22.6 million reflecting higher net income and adjustments for non-cash items. The decrease in the use of working capital is primarily due to an increase in the change in accounts payable and an increase in the change in income taxes payable partially offset by an increase in the change in inventory. The increase in the change in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of spring merchandise receipts in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Accordingly, the accounts payable balance was lower at January 31, 2004 due to an increase in receipts in February 2004 as opposed to December and January of the previous year. The increase in the change in income taxes payable is partly related to the fiscal 2003 tax benefit from the exercise of stock options which in part provided for an $8.5 million decrease in tax payments during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 as compared to the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003 and an increase of $2.8 million related to the higher pre-tax income for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004. The increase in the change in inventory was primarily due to the increase in receipts in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 due to the timing of new store openings, and an increase in in-transit import inventory. The cash flow from operating the Companys stores is a significant source of liquidity, and will continue to be used in 2004 primarily to purchase inventory, make capital improvements and open new stores. All of the Companys revenues are realized at the point-of-sale in the stores. Thus, net sales are essentially on a cash basis.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 increased by $45.0 million, to $52.6 million primarily reflecting the purchase of $47.9 million of held-to-maturity securities, partially offset by a decrease in net capital expenditures as proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions increased $4.8 million. We use cash in investing activities to build new stores and remodel or relocate existing stores. Furthermore, net cash used in investing activities includes purchases of information technology assets and expenditures for distribution facilities and corporate headquarters.
We opened six new stores during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 compared to opening eight new stores and relocating one store during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003. Sale-leaseback transactions covering store fixtures, buildings and information technology assets also have the effect of returning to the Company cash previously invested in these assets. During the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 we completed two building sale-leasebacks that generated proceeds of $9.1 million, of which $8.8 million of the capital expenditures were incurred in fiscal 2003.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 97-10 (Issue 97-10), The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction, the Company is considered to be the owner of certain buildings during the construction period, for accounting purposes only. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a non-cash asset and related non-cash obligation of $22.3 million and $10.9 million as of May 1, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively. At the conclusion of the construction period, the asset and related liability will be removed from the balance sheet in a manner similar to a sale-leaseback transaction if certain conditions are met. The application of Issue 97-10 has no impact to cash balances, net cash flow, the statement of operations or cash obligations.
16
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 increased by $101.4 million, or 191.8%, to $154.3 million primarily reflecting the net proceeds from the senior convertible notes and the decrease in the change in the balance of the senior secured revolving credit facility. Financing activities consisted primarily of the issuance of the senior convertible notes, borrowings and repayments under the senior secured revolving credit facility and proceeds from transactions in the Companys common stock. The Company received proceeds of $1.3 million and $3.6 million from the exercise of employee stock options during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 and the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003, respectively. Future stock option activity cannot be predicted.
On February 18, 2004, the Company completed a private offering of $172.5 million issue price of convertible notes in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Net proceeds to the Company of $146.0 million are after the net cost of a convertible bond hedge and a separate warrant transaction as well as estimated transaction costs associated with the offering of $5.8 million. The hedge and warrant transactions effectively increase the conversion premium associated with the senior convertible notes during the term of these transactions from 40% to 100%, or from $39.31 to $56.16 per share, thereby reducing the potential dilutive effect upon conversion.
The Companys liquidity and capital needs have generally been met by cash from operating activities and borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility. This senior secured revolving credit facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to $180 million, including up to $50 million in the form of letters of credit. The actual availability under the senior secured revolving credit facility is limited to the lesser of 70% of the Companys eligible inventory or 85% of the Companys inventorys liquidation value, in each case net of specified reserves and less any letters of credit outstanding. There were no outstanding borrowings on the senior secured revolving credit facility as of May 1, 2004 and January 31, 2004. Total remaining borrowing capacity, after subtracting letters of credit as of May 1, 2004 and January 31, 2004 was $167.5 million and $154.3 million, respectively. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the senior secured revolving credit facility currently accrues at the lenders prime commercial lending rate or, if the Company elects, at the one month LIBOR plus 1.25% based on the Companys current interest coverage ratio. The Companys obligations under the senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by interests in substantially all of the Companys personal property excluding store and distribution center equipment and fixtures. The senior secured revolving credit facility matures on May 30, 2006. The Company has used the senior secured revolving credit facility to meet seasonal working capital requirements and to support the Companys growth.
The senior secured revolving credit facility contains restrictions regarding the Companys and related subsidiarys ability, among other things, to merge, consolidate or acquire non-subsidiary entities, to incur indebtedness or liens, to pay dividends or make distributions on the Companys stock, to make investments or loans, or to engage in transactions with affiliates. The Company is obligated to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. Obligations under the senior secured revolving credit facility are secured under various collateral documents (including a security agreement, pledge agreement, blocked account agreements, concentration account agreement, disbursement account agreements, and a trademark security agreement) by interests in substantially all of the Companys personal property excluding store and distribution center equipment and fixtures. As of May 1, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the senior secured revolving credit facility.
Cash requirements in 2004, other than normal operating expenses, are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures related to the addition of new stores. The Company plans to open 25 new stores during 2004. The Company also anticipates incurring additional expenditures for remodeling or relocating certain existing stores and enhancing its information technology assets as well as other infrastructure improvements. While there can be no assurance that current expectations will be realized, the Company expects net capital expenditures in 2004 to be approximately $30.0 million.
The Company believes that existing cash flows generated from operations, funds available under our credit facility and proceeds from our convertible notes will be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements through 2004. Other new business opportunities or store expansion rates substantially in excess of those presently planned may require additional funding.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments
The only off-balance sheet contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of May 1, 2004 relate to operating lease obligations and letters of credit. The Company has excluded these items from the balance sheet in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
17
On February 18, 2004, the Company completed a private offering of $172.5 million issue price of convertible notes in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Net proceeds to the Company of $146.0 million are after the net cost of a convertible bond hedge and a separate warrant transaction as well as estimated transaction costs associated with the offering of $5.8 million. The hedge and warrant transactions effectively increase the conversion premium associated with the senior convertible notes during the term of these transactions from 40% to 100%, or from $39.31 to $56.16 per share, thereby reducing the potential dilutive effect upon conversion.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The Companys net exposure to interest rate risk will consist primarily of borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility. The Companys senior secured revolving credit facility bears interest at rates that are benchmarked either to U.S. short-term floating rate interest rates or one-month LIBOR rates, at the Companys election. There were no borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility as of May 1, 2004 and January 31, 2004. The impact on the Companys annual net income of a hypothetical one percentage point interest rate change on the average outstanding balances under the senior secured revolving credit facility would be approximately $0.2 million based upon fiscal 2003 average borrowings.
The Companys short and long-term investment portfolio consists of fixed income instruments. The primary objectives of these investments are to preserve capital. A hypothetical 10% change in the underlying interest rate of our interest bearing financial instruments held as of May 1, 2004 was determined to not have a material effect on the Companys net income.
Credit Risk
In February 2004, the Company sold $172.5 million issue price of senior unsecured convertible notes due 2024. In conjunction with the issuance of these senior convertible notes, we also entered into a five year convertible bond hedge and a five year separate warrant transaction with one of the initial purchasers (the counterparty) and/or certain of its affiliates. Subject to the movement in our common stock price, we could be exposed to credit risk arising out of net settlement of the convertible bond hedge and separate warrant transaction in our favor. Based on our review of the possible net settlements and the credit strength of the counterparty and its affiliates, we believe that we do not have a material exposure to credit risk as a result of these share option transactions.
Tax Matters
Presently, the Company does not believe that there are any tax matters that could materially affect the consolidated financial statements.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results
The Companys business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of the Companys net sales and profits are realized during the fourth quarter of the Companys fiscal year, which is due, in part, to the holiday selling season and, in part, to our sales of cold weather sporting goods and apparel. Any decrease in fiscal fourth quarter sales, whether because of a slow holiday selling season, unseasonable weather conditions, or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results for the entire fiscal year.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), an evaluation was performed of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by the report. This evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, soundness of internal controls, fraud, the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on the evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects at a reasonable assurance level with respect to the recordings, processing, summarizing and reporting, within the time periods
18
specified in the SECs rules and forms, of information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
In connection with the restatement and the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, the Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On February 18, 2004, the Company completed a private offering of $172.5 million issue price of senior unsecured convertible notes due 2024 in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A). Net proceeds to the Company of $146.0 million are after the net cost of a convertible bond hedge and a separate warrant transaction as well as estimated transaction costs associated with the offering of $5.8 million, which includes a commission of $5.2 million to the initial purchasers of the senior convertible notes. The aggregate number of shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of the convertible notes is 4,388,024 shares.
The senior convertible notes are convertible into the Companys common stock (the common stock) at an initial conversion price in each of the first 20 fiscal quarters following issuance of the notes of $39.31 per share, upon the occurrence of certain events. Thereafter, the conversion price per share of common stock increases each fiscal quarter by the accreted original issue discount for the quarter. Upon conversion of a note, unless the Company is in default, the Company is obligated to pay cash in lieu of issuing some or all of the shares of common stock, in an amount up to the accreted principal amount of the note, and whether any shares of common stock are issuable in addition to this cash payment would depend upon the then market price of the Companys common stock. The senior convertible notes will mature on February 18, 2024, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Company may redeem the notes at any time on or after February 18, 2009, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of the issue price, accrued original discount and any accrued cash interest, if any.
Concurrently with the sale of the senior convertible notes, the Company purchased a bond hedge designed to mitigate the potential dilution from the conversion of the convertible notes. Under the five year terms of the bond hedge, one of the initial purchasers (the counterparty) will deliver to the Company upon a conversion of the bonds a number of shares of common stock based on the extent to which the then market price exceeds $39.31 per share.
The cost of the purchased bond hedge was partially offset by the sale of warrants by the Company (the warrants) to acquire up to 8,775,948 shares of the common stock to the counterparty with whom the Company entered into the bond hedge. The warrants are exercisable in year five at a price of $56.16 per share. The warrants may be settled at the Companys option through a net share settlement or a net cash settlement, either of which would be based on the extent to which the then market price exceeds $56.16 per share. These warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
