Business news : Dick's SG's Q1 Comps Miss Plan

Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. reported a modest gain in first-quarter earnings, in line with expectations. Adjusted for the shifted calendar due to the 53rd week in 2012, consolidated same store sales decreased 3.8 percent, compared to our guidance of an approximate 1 to 2 percent decrease.  First quarter 2012 consolidated same store sales increased 8.4 percent.  Shifted same store sales in the first quarter of 2013 for Dick's Sporting Goods decreased 3.2 percent and Golf Galaxy sales decreased 11.8 percent.

First quarter 2012 consolidated same store sales increased 8.4 percent.  Unshifted consolidated same store sales decreased 1.7 percent, compared to our guidance of approximately flat to a 1 percent increase, consisting of a 1.3 percent decrease at Dick's Sporting Goods and a 7.4 percent decrease at Golf Galaxy. E-commerce penetration was 5.8 percent of total sales.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2013 increased 4.1 percent to $1.3 billion. 

The company reported consolidated non-GAAP net income for the first quarter ended May 4, 2013 of $60.5 million, or 48 cents per diluted share, compared to the company's expectations provided on March 11, 2013 of 47 to 49 cents per diluted share.

The company reaffirms full-year guidance.

"In the first quarter, we generated earnings in line with our original guidance, but were not pleased with our sales results, which came in below our expectations," said Edward W. Stack, chairman and CEO. "To drive sales and preserve margins in the near-term, we will work with our vendor partners, particularly in golf, to provide value offerings; we will aggressively execute our store remodel program, with approximately 75 percent of the identified stores expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter; and we will continue to tightly manage clearance inventory, which has declined meaningfully."

Stack continued, "Over the long-term, we have significant opportunity to profitably grow our business by doubling the size of our store base, aggressively building our eCommerce business, and further strengthening our Omni-channel platform."
