NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to reporting the Company's financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. These non-
GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP EBT, non-GAAP EBT margin, consolidated non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding, net capital
expenditures and fiscal 2023 net sales adjusted for the 53rd week, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and
future periods. Furthermore, management believes that adjustments related to its deferred compensation plans enables investors to better understand its selling, general and administrative expense trends excluding non-cash changes
in our deferred compensation plan investment fair values from market fluctuations that are offset within other income. Additionally, management believes that adjustments related to its Convertible Senior Notes and convertible bond
hedge provided a more complete view of the economics of the instruments upon future conversion. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, and measuring its operating performance.
These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP
financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures presented herein may not be comparable to similar measures provided by
other companies. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided below and on the Company's website at investors.DICKS.com.
ADDITIONAL NOTE
2023 was a 53-week year and Q4 2023 was a 14-week quarter. The extra week during fiscal 2023 generated $170 million of net sales and earnings per diluted share of $0.19. Full year 2023 and Q4 2023 comparable store sales
calculations are presented on a 52-week and 13-week basis, respectively.
