We believe that there is an opportunity for us to double the size of our chain in our existing footprint and to expand our reach across the nation, increasing the total size of our store network to at least 800 stores over time. In 2006, we opened 39 new Dick’s Sporting Goods stores, introducing us to seven new markets, while increasing our presence 50 percent or more in several key markets we had entered through the Galyan’s acquisition, including Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Denver. We intend to expand our presence in many of these and other key markets in 2007. We augmented this organic growth by acquiring Golf Galaxy, a leading specialty golf retailer with 65 stores in 24 states and sales of $275 million in 2006. Golf Galaxy offers a differentiated retail concept that complements our existing business within the fragmented golf retail industry. Moreover, Golf Galaxy offers excel- lent potential for both store and earnings growth, and we expect the acquisition to be accretive.

We converted to an equity ownership in that provider in lieu of royalties until Internet sales reached a predefined amount that resulted in this non-cash investment. 3 The loss on write-down of non-cash investment resulted from a write-down of the investment in our third-party Internet commerce service provider due to a decline in the value of that company’s publicly traded stock. 4 Earnings per share data gives effect to the two-for-one stock split, in the form of a stock dividend, which became effective on April 5, 2004. 5 Comparable store sales begin in a store’s 14th full month of operations after its grand opening. Comparable store sales are for stores that opened at least 13 months prior to the beginning of the period noted. Stores that were closed or relocated during the applicable period have been excluded from comparable store sales. Each relocated store is returned to the comparable store base after its 14th full month of operations. The former Galyan’s stores will be included in the full year comparable store base beginning in 2007. 6 Calculated using net sales and gross square footage of all stores open at both the beginning and the end of the period.

See page 33 “Forward Looking Statements.” Overview 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. On July 29, 2004, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. completed the acquisition of Galyan’s. The Consolidated Statements of Income include the operation of Galyan’s from the date of acquisition forward for the year ended January 29, 2005. As of February 3, 2007 we operated 294 stores, with approximately 16.7 million square feet, in 34 states, the majority of which are located primarily throughout the eastern half of the United States. Executive Summary The Company reported net income for the year ended February 3, 2007 of $112.6 million or $2.03 per diluted share as compared to net income of $73.0 million and earnings per diluted share of $1.35 in 2005. The increase in earnings was attributable to an increase in sales as a result of a 6.0% increase in comparable store sales, new store sales and an increase in gross profit margins partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales. Net sales increased 19% to $3,114 million in 2006 from $2,625 million in 2005. This increase resulted primarily from a comparable store sales increase of 6.0%, or $105.9 million on a 52 week to 52 week basis, and $383.1 million from the net addition of new stores in the last five quarters which are not included in the comparable store base and the inclusion of a 53rd week of sales. Income from operations increased 49% to $197.7 million in 2006 from $132.7 million in 2005 due primarily to the increase in gross profit, and the inclusion of merger integration and store closing costs in 2005 partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative costs. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 28.79% in 2006 from 28.10% in 2005. The gross profit percentage increased primarily due to an increase in the merchandise margin percentage, lower freight and distribution costs as a percentage of sales and lower occupancy costs as a percentage of sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 73 basis points. The increase as a percentage of sales was due primarily to recording stock compensation expense in fiscal 2006 upon the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R on January 29, 2006, an increase in net advertising expense and higher bonus expense this year. We ended the year with no borrowings on our line of credit and excess borrowing availability totaled $333.5 million as of February 3, 2007. 25 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT Results of Operations The following table presents for the periods indicated selected items in the consolidated statements of income as a percentage of the Company’s net sales, as well as the basis point change in percentage of net sales from the prior year’s period: Fiscal Year Net sales1 Cost of goods sold, including occupancy and distribution costs2 Gross profit Selling, general and administrative expenses3 Merger integration and store closing costs4 Pre-opening expenses5 Income from operations Gain on sale of investment6 Interest expense, net7 Other income Income before income taxes Provision for income taxes Net income A Column does not add due to rounding 2006A 100.00% 2005A 100.00% 2004A 100.00% Percentage of Net Sales from Prior Year 2005–2006A N/A Percentage of Net Sales from Prior Year 2004–2005A N/A 71.21 28.79 21.92 – 0.53 6.35 – 0.32 – 6.03 2.41 3.62% 71.90 28.10 21.19 1.44 0.41 5.06 (0.07) 0.49 – 4.63 1.85 2.78% 72.19 27.81 21.04 0.96 0.55 5.26 (0.52) 0.38 (0.05) 5.44 2.18 3.27% (69) 69 73 (144) 12 129 (7) (17) – 140 56 84 (29) 29 15 48 (14) (20) (45) 11 (5) (81) (33) (49) 1 Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of sales in the period that the related sales are recorded. Revenue from gift cards and returned merchandise credits (collectively the “cards”), are deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized in the consolidated statements of income in selling, general and administrative expenses at the point at which redemption becomes remote. The Company performs an evaluation of the aging of the unredeemed cards, based on the elapsed time from the date of original issuance, to determine when redemption is remote. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized upon receipt of final payment from the customer. 2 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. 3 Selling, general and administrative expenses include store and field support payroll and fringe benefits, advertising, bank card charges, information systems, marketing, legal, accounting, other store expenses and all expenses associated with operating the Company’s corporate headquarters. 4 Merger integration and store closing costs all pertain to the Galyan’s acquisition and include the expense of closing Dick’s stores in overlapping markets, advertising the re-branding of Galyan’s stores, duplicative administrative costs, recruiting and system conversion costs. Beginning in the third quarter of 2005, the balance of the merger integration and store closing costs, which relate primarily to accretion of discounted cash flows on future lease payments on closed stores, was included in rent expense. 5 Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs incurred prior to a new store opening. 6 Gain on sale of investment resulted from the sale of a portion of the Company’s non-cash investment in its third-party Internet commerce provider. 7 Interest expense, net, results primarily from interest on our senior convertible notes and Credit Agreement borrowings partially offset by interest income. Fiscal 2006 (53 weeks) Compared to Fiscal 2005 (52 weeks) Net Income Net income increased to $112.6 million in 2006 from $73.0 million in 2005. This represented an increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.68, or 50% to $2.03 from $1.35. The increase in earnings was attributable to an increase in net sales and gross profit margin percentage, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales. Net Sales Net sales increased 19% to $3,114 million in 2006 from $2,625 million in 2005. This increase resulted primarily from a comparable store sales increase of 6.0%, or $105.9 million on a 52 week to 52 week basis, and $383.1 million from the net addition of new stores in the last five quarters which are not included in the comparable store base and the inclusion of a 53rd week of sales. 26 The increase in comparable store sales is mostly attributable to sales increases in men’s and women’s apparel, kids, athletic and casual footwear, licensed merchandise, baseball, hunting, camping and guns, partially offset by lower sales of bikes, boots, snow sports and outerwear accessories. Private Label Sales For the year ended February 3, 2007, private label product sales in total for all stores represented 14.1% of sales, an increase from last year’s 11.9% of sales. These private label sales are for the merchandise developed by Dick’s. Store Count During 2006, we opened 39 stores and relocated two stores. As of February 3, 2007 we operated 294 stores, with approximately 16.7 million square feet, in 34 states. Income from Operations Income from operations increased 49% to $197.7 million in 2006 from $132.7 million in 2005 due primarily to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative costs. Gross profit increased 22% to $896.7 million in 2006 from $737.6 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 28.79% in 2006 from 28.10% in 2005. The gross profit percentage increased primarily due to improved merchandise margins in the majority of the Company’s product categories, lower freight and distributions costs as a percentage of sales (14 basis points) due to cost minimization practices at our distribution centers and lower occupancy costs as a percentage of sales (14 basis points) due to the leverage from higher sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $682.6 million in 2006 from $556.3 million in 2005 due primarily to an increase in store count and continued investment in corporate and store infrastructure. The 73 basis point increase over last year was due primarily to an increase in net advertising expense (29 basis points), the recording of stock compensation expense in 2006 due to the Company’s adoption of FAS 123R (78 basis points) and higher bonus expense (19 basis points) partially offset by a decrease in store payroll (40 basis points) due to the leverage from higher sales. Merger integration and store closing costs associated with the purchase of Galyan’s of $37.8 million were recognized in 2005. The cost relates primarily to closing Dick’s stores in overlapping markets and advertising the re-branding and re-grand opening of the former Galyan’s stores. Pre-opening expenses increased by $5.6 million to $16.4 million in 2006 from $10.8 million in 2005. Pre-opening expenses were for the opening of 39 new stores and relocation of two stores in 2006 compared to the opening of 26 new stores and relocation of four stores in 2005. Pre-opening expenses in any year fluctuate depending on the timing and number of store openings and relocations. During 2006, Dick’s recognized rental costs associated with its operating leases that were incurred during the construction period in accordance with FSP 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period.” Gain on Sale of Investment Gain on sale of investment was $1.8 million in 2005. The gain resulted from the sale of a portion of the Company’s non-cash investment in its third-party Internet commerce provider. Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net, decreased by $3.0 million to $10.0 million in 2006 from $13.0 million in 2005 due primarily to lower average borrowings on the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility. Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004 Net Income Net income increased to $73.0 million in 2005 from $68.9 million in 2004. This represented an increase in diluted earnings per share of $0.05, or 4% to $1.35 from $1.30. The increase in earnings was attributable to an increase in net sales and gross profit margin percentage, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, a $5.5 million after tax decrease in the gain on sale of investment and a $10.5 million after tax increase in merger integration and store closing costs associated with the acquisition of Galyan’s. 27 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT Net Sales Net sales increased 24% to $2,625 million in 2005 from $2,109 million in 2004. This increase resulted primarily from a comparable store sales increase of 2.6%, or $36.7 million, and $478.9 million from the net addition of new stores in the last five quarters which are not included in the comparable store base and the former Galyan’s stores which were included in the comparable store base beginning in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in comparable store sales is mostly attributable to sales increases in men’s and women’s apparel, exercise, athletic and casual footwear, socks, licensed merchandise, baseball and accessories and guns, partially offset by lower sales of paintball, in-line skates, bikes, hockey and hunting. Private Label Sales For the year ended January 28, 2006, private label product sales in total for all stores represented 11.9% of sales, an increase from last year’s 8.6% of proforma sales. These private label sales are for the merchandise developed by Dick’s, and do not include any remaining private label products developed by Galyan’s. Store Count During 2005, we opened 26 stores, relocated four stores and closed five stores. The store closures were a result of the Galyan’s acquisition. As of January 28, 2006 we operated 255 stores, with approximately 14.7 million square feet, in 34 states. Income from Operations Income from operations increased 20% to $132.7 million in 2005 from $110.9 million in 2004 due primarily to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in merger integration and store closing costs and an increase in selling, general and administrative costs. Gross profit increased 26% to $737.6 million in 2005 from $586.5 million in 2004. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 28.10% in 2005 from 27.81% in 2004. The gross profit percentage increased primarily due to improved merchandise margins in the majority of the Company’s product categories, partially offset by higher occupancy costs as a percentage of sales (50 basis points) due primarily to higher occupancy costs in the former Galyan’s stores, and higher freight expense as a percentage of sales (39 basis points). The increase in freight expense was primarily due to an increase in the fuel surcharge charged by our carriers. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $556.3 million in 2005 from $443.8 million in 2004 due primarily to an increase in store count and continued investment in corporate and store infrastructure. The 15 basis point increase over last year was due primarily to an increase in store payroll costs (64 basis points), a portion of which is due to the negative leverage from lower sales in the former Galyan’s stores, partially offset by lower bonus expense (28 basis points) and a decrease in corporate payroll expense (12 basis points), a portion of which is due to the synergies obtained from the acquisition of Galyan’s. Merger integration and store closing costs associated with the purchase of Galyan’s increased to $37.8 million in 2005 from $20.3 million in 2004. The increase is primarily due to closing Dick’s stores in overlapping markets and advertising the re-branding and re-grand opening of the former Galyan’s stores. Pre-opening expenses decreased by $0.7 million to $10.8 million in 2005 from $11.5 million in 2004. Pre-opening expenses were for the opening of 26 new stores and relocation of four stores in 2005 compared to the opening of 29 new stores and relocation of three stores in 2004. Pre-opening expenses in any year fluctuate depending on the timing and number of store openings and relocations. Gain on Sale of Investment Gain on sale of investment was $1.8 million in 2005 as compared to $11.0 million in 2004. The gain resulted from the sale of a portion of the Company’s non-cash investment in its third-party Internet commerce provider. Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net, increased by $5.0 million to $13.0 million in 2005 from $8.0 million in 2004 due primarily to higher interest rates and higher average borrowings on the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility. Other Income Other income in 2004 included a $1.0 million break-up fee related to our unsuccessful effort to acquire the assets of a bankrupt retailer. 28 Liquidity and Capital Resources Our primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital improvements and to support expansion plans, as well as for various investments in store remodeling, store fixtures and ongoing infrastructure improvements. The Company’s main source of liquidity in 2006 and 2005 was our net cash provided by financing activities. The change in cash and cash equivalents is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended Net cash provided by operating activities Net cash used in investing activities Net cash provided (used in) by financing activities Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents February 3, 2007 196,216 (169,191) 72,353 99,378 $ $ January 28, 2006 169,530 (93,718) (58,134) 17,678 January 29, 2005 107,841 (414,772) 232,143 (74,788) $ $ $ $ Operating Activities Cash flow from operations is seasonal in our business. Typically, we use cash flow from operations to increase inventory in advance of peak selling seasons, with the pre-Christmas inventory increase being the largest. In the fourth quarter, inventory levels are reduced in connection with Christmas sales and this inventory reduction, combined with proportionately higher net income, typically produces significantly positive cash flow. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $26.7 million in 2006 to $196.2 million, which consists primarily of higher net income of $39.6 million and an increase in the change in assets and liabilities of $16.1 million. Changes in Assets and Liabilities The primary factors contributing to the increase in the change in assets and liabilities were the change in accounts receivable, accrued expenses and deferred construction allowances, partially offset by an increase in the change in inventory and prepaid expenses. The increase in the change in accrued expenses was primarily due to higher bonus expense, an increase in advertising accruals and an increase in capital accruals due to higher store count and an increase in the number of new stores planned for 2007 compared to 2006. The increase in deferred construction allowances is primarily related to higher tenant allowances associated with our 2006 stores compared to 2005. Partially offsetting these cash inflows was the increase in inventory, which was primarily due to higher store count and business initiatives that accelerated inventory receipts at the end of 2006 compared to 2005 and the increase in prepaid expenses as a result of the 53rd week, which caused the first week of February 2007 to fall into fiscal January 2006. The cash flows from operating the Company’s stores is a significant source of liquidity, and will continue to be used in 2007 primarily to purchase inventory, make capital improvements and open new stores. All of the Company’s revenues are realized at the point-of-sale in the stores. Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities increased by $75.5 million in 2006 to $169.2 million. Net capital expenditures increased $72.3 million due to an increase in capital expenditures of $78.3 million and partially offset by an increase in sale-leaseback proceeds of $6.0 million. Purchases of property and equipment were $190.3 million in fiscal 2006, $112.0 million in fiscal 2005 and $104.9 million in fiscal 2004. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2006 relate primarily to the opening of 39 new stores and the relocation of two stores, information systems and administrative and distribution facilities. The Company generated proceeds from the sale and leaseback of property and equipment, primarily its store fixtures, totaling $24.8 million, $18.8 million and $35.7 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized landlord reimbursements totaling $55.9 million, $53.1 million and $69.2 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 29 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT During 2006, we opened 39 stores and relocated two stores compared to opening 26 stores and the relocation of four stores during 2005. 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. There were no building sale-leasebacks during 2006 or 2005. The Company also generated $1.9 million in proceeds from the sale of a portion of the Company’s non-cash investment in its third- party Internet commerce service provider during 2005. Financing Activities Cash provided in financing activities increased by $130.5 million to $72.4 million primarily due to a decrease in revolving credit payments of $76.1 million as the Company had no outstanding borrowings at February 3, 2007 or January 28, 2006. In addition, the Company received $23.0 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, an increase of $15.6 million in 2006 compared to 2005. The Company’s liquidity and capital needs have generally been met by cash from operating activities, the proceeds from the convertible notes and borrowings under the $350 million Credit Agreement. Borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is generally limited to the lesser of 70% of the Company’s eligible inventory or 85% of the Company’s inventory’s liquidation value, in each case net of specified reserves and less any letters of credit outstanding. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement currently accrues, at the Company’s option, at a rate based on either (i) the prime corporate lending rate or (ii) at the LIBOR rate plus 1.25% to 1.75% based on the level of total borrowings during the prior three months. The Credit Agreement’s term expires May 30, 2008. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006. Total remaining borrowing capacity, after subtracting letters of credit as of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006 was $333.5 million and $275.6 million, respectively. The Credit Agreement contains restrictions regarding the Company’s and related subsidiary’s ability, among other things, to merge, consolidate or acquire non-subsidiary entities, to incur certain specified types of indebtedness or liens in excess of certain specified amounts, to pay dividends or make distributions on the Company’s stock, to make certain investments or loans to other parties, or to engage in lending, borrowing or other commercial transactions with subsidiaries, affiliates or employees. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is obligated to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 in certain circumstances. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by interests in substantially all of the Company’s personal property excluding store and distribution center equipment and fixtures. As of February 3, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Cash requirements in 2007, other than normal operating expenses, are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures related to the addition of new stores, enhanced information technology and improved distribution infrastructure. The Company plans to open 45 new stores and relocate one store during 2007. The Company also anticipates incurring additional expenditures for Dick’s remodeling or relocating certain existing stores. The Company also plans to open 17 new Golf Galaxy stores during 2007. While there can be no assurance that current expectations will be realized, the Company expects capital expenditures, net of deferred construction allowances and proceeds from sale leaseback transactions, to be approximately $130 million in 2007, including Golf Galaxy capital expenditure requirements. The Company believes that cash flows generated from operations and funds available under our credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements through fiscal 2007. Other new business opportunities or store expansion rates substantially in excess of those presently planned may require additional funding. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company’s off-balance sheet contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of February 3, 2007 relate to operating lease obligations, future minimum guaranteed contractual payments and letters of credit. The Company has excluded these items from the balance sheet in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 30 Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments The following table summarizes the Company’s material contractual obligations, including both on- and off-balance sheet arrangements in effect at February 3, 2007, and the timing and effect that such commitments are expected to have on the Company’s liquidity and capital requirements in future periods: Payments Due by Period (Dollars in thousands) Contractual obligations: Senior convertible notes (see Note 7) Capital lease obligations (see Note 7) Other long-term debt (see Note 7) Interest payments Operating lease obligations (see Note 8) Future minimum guaranteed contractual payments (see Note 15) Total contractual obligations Total Less than 1 year 1–3 years 3–5 years More than 5 years $ $ $ 255,085 7,809 708 17,194 2,819,035 – 106 46 4,879 230,830 – 329 97 5,625 472,452 $ – 454 105 1,452 463,983 $ 255,085 6,920 460 5,238 1,651,770 31,350 $ 3,131,181 1,000 $ 236,861 2,750 $ 481,253 3,600 $ 469,594 24,000 $ 1,943,473 The note references above are to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Outlook Full Year 2007 – (52-Week Year) Comparisons to Fiscal 2006 – (53-Week Year) • Based on an estimated 58 million shares outstanding, the Company anticipates reporting earnings per share of approximately $2.37 – 2.40. This represents an approximate 18% increase over earnings per share for the full year 2006 of $2.03 and includes the expected results of Golf Galaxy. • Comparable store sales are expected to increase approximately 2% at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores. • The Company expects to open 45 new Dick’s stores, 17 new Golf Galaxy stores and relocate one Dick’s store in 2007. First Quarter 2007 • Based on an estimated 57 million shares outstanding, the Company anticipates reporting earnings per share of $0.35 – 0.38 as compared to first quarter 2006 earnings per share of $0.21. • Comparable store sales at Dick’s Sporting Goods stores are expected to increase approximately 4–6%, or approximately 3%, adjusting for the shifted retail calendar due to the 53rd week in 2006. • The Company expects to open 11 new Dick’s stores and 10 new Golf Galaxy stores in the first quarter. 31 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT Newly Issued Accounting Standards In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-3 (“EITF 06-3”), “Disclosure Requirements for Taxes Assessed by a Governmental Authority on Revenue-Producing Transactions,” which provides that entities should present such taxes on either a gross or net basis based on their accounting policies. The Company’s accounting policy is to record such taxes on a net basis. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of EITF 06-3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 will not have a material impact on our financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes and is effective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. The cumulative effect, if any, of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal 2007. The Company expects that the financial impact of applying the provisions of FIN 48 to all tax positions will not be material upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements; however, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements. Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Critical accounting policies are those that the Company believes are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require the Company’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. The Company considers the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing its consolidated financial statements. Inventory Valuation The Company values inventory using the lower of weighted average cost or market method. Market price is generally based on the current selling price of the merchandise. The Company regularly reviews inventories to determine if the carrying value of the inventory exceeds market value and the Company records a reserve to reduce the carrying value to its market price, as necessary. Historically, the Company has rarely experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence or slow moving inventory. However, future changes such as customer merchandise preference, unseasonable weather patterns, or business trends could cause the Company’s inventory to be exposed to obsolescence or slow moving merchandise. Shrink expense is accrued as a percentage of merchandise sales based on historical shrink trends. The Company performs physical inventories at the stores and distribution centers throughout the year. The reserve for shrink represents an estimate for shrink for each of the Company’s locations since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date. Estimates by location and in the aggregate are impacted by internal and external factors and may vary significantly from actual results. Vendor Allowances Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors relating to the purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts. On an annual basis at the end of the year, the Company confirms earned allowances with vendors to ensure the amounts are recorded in accordance with the terms of the contract. 32 Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Goodwill and other finite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis. Our evaluation of goodwill for impairment requires accounting judgments and financial estimates in determining the fair value of the reporting unit. If these judgments or estimates change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Assets are reviewed at the lowest level for which cash flows can be identified, which is the store level. In determining future cash flows, significant estimates are made by the Company with respect to future operating results of each store over its remaining lease term. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Business Combinations Our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The assets and liabilities are adjusted to their fair values and the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The determination of fair value involves the use of an independent appraisal, estimates and assumptions which we believe provided a reasonable basis for determining fair value. Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires the input of assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the consolidated statements of income. 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 Annual Report 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 2007 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 and manufacturers and their ability to provide us with sufficient quantities of products; any serious disruption at our distribution or return facilities; the seasonality of our business; the potential impact of natural disasters or national and international 33 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT 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 the operation and implementation of new management information systems; risks relating to operational and financial restrictions imposed by our Credit Agreement; factors associated with our pursuit of strategic acquisitions (including our merger with Golf Galaxy); risks and uncertainties associated with assimilating acquired companies; 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; regional risks because our stores are generally concentrated in the eastern half of the United States; our ability to repay or make the cash payments under our senior convertible notes; the outcome of litigation or legal actions against us; 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 except as may be required by the securities laws. On February 13, 2007, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. acquired Golf Galaxy, Inc. (“Golf Galaxy”) which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dick’s by means of a merger of Dick’s subsidiary with and into Golf Galaxy. Due to this acquisition, additional risks and uncertainties arise that could affect our financial performance and actual results and could cause actual results for 2007 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. Such risks, which are difficult to predict with a level of certainty and may be greater than expected, include, among others, risk associated with combining businesses and/or with assimilating Golf Galaxy. 34 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Risk The Company’s net exposure to interest rate risk will consist primarily of borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility. The Company’s 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 Company’s election. There were no borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility as of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006. The impact on the Company’s 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 $0.3 million based upon fiscal 2006 average borrowings. Credit Risk In February 2004, the Company sold $172.5 million issue price of senior unsecured convertible notes due 2024 (“convertible notes”). In conjunction with the issuance of these 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. Impact of Inflation The Company does not believe that operating results have been materially affected by inflation during the preceding three fiscal years. There can be no assurance, however, that operating results will not be adversely affected by inflation in the future. 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 Company’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of the Company’s net sales and profits are realized during the fourth quarter of the Company’s 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. 35 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The management of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report to Shareholders. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments where necessary. Financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report is consistent with these financial statements. The consolidated financial statements were audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. Their report is included herein on page 37. Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 3, 2007. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 3, 2007 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. Edward W. Stack Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William R. Newlin Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Michael F. Hines Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 36 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended February 3, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended February 3, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 29, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 3, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 20, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania March 20, 2007 37 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 3, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 3, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 3, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 of the Company and our reports dated March 20, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, on January 29, 2006.

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Interest income was $0.8 million, $0.2 million and $1.1 million for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Cash Management — The Company’s cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Accounts payable at February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006 include $76.8 million and $68.0 million, respectively, of checks drawn in excess of cash balances not yet presented for payment. Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable consists principally of amounts receivable from vendors. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.0 million and $1.9 million, as of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006, respectively. Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Inventory cost consists of the direct cost of merchandise including freight. Inventories are net of shrinkage, obsolescence, other valuations and vendor allowances totaling $52.3 million and $38.2 million at February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006, respectively. Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include capitalized leases. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings Leasehold improvements Furniture, fixtures and equipment Vehicles 40 years 10–25 years 3–7 years 5 years For leasehold improvements and property and equipment under capital lease agreements, depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets to assess whether the carrying values have been impaired, using the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” 45 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT Goodwill and Intangible Assets – In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company will continue to assess on an annual basis whether goodwill is impaired. Additional impairment assessments may be performed on an interim basis if the Company deems it necessary. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and are reviewed for impairment when factors indicate that an impairment may have occurred. No impairment of goodwill or intangible assets was recorded during fiscal 2006, 2005 or 2004. Investments – Investments consist of shares of unregistered common stock and is carried at fair value within other assets in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Fair value at the acquisition date was based upon the publicly quoted equity price of GSI Commerce Inc. (“GSI”) stock, less a discount resulting from the unregistered character of the stock. This discount was based on an independent appraisal obtained by the Company. Unrealized holding gains and losses on the stock are included in other comprehensive income and are shown as a component of stockholders’ equity as of the end of each fiscal year (see Note 13). Deferred Revenue and Other Liabilities – Deferred revenue and other liabilities is primarily comprised of gift cards, deferred rent, which represents the difference between rent paid and the amounts expensed for operating leases, deferred liabilities related to construction allowances, unamortized capitalized rent during construction that was previously capitalized prior to the adoption of FSP 13-1, amounts deferred relating to the investment in GSI (see Note 13) and advance payments under the terms of building sale-leaseback agreements. Deferred liabilities related to construction allowances and capitalized rent, net of related amortization, was $100.1 million at February 3, 2007 and $73.3 million at January 28, 2006. Deferred revenue related to gift cards at February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006 was $72.3 million and $58.1 million, respectively. Self-Insurance – The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our liability exposure. Liabilities associated with these losses are estimated in part by considering historical claims experience, industry factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. Pre-Opening Expenses – Pre-opening expenses, which consist primarily of rent, marketing, payroll and recruiting costs, are expensed as incurred. Merger Integration and Store Closing Costs – Merger integration and store closing costs include the expense of closing Dick’s stores in connection with the Galyan’s acquisition, advertising the re-branding of Galyan’s stores, duplicative administrative costs, recruiting and system conversion costs. These costs were $37.8 and $20.3 for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Earnings Per Share – The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants, calculated by applying the treasury stock method. Stock-Based Compensation – The Company grants stock options to purchase common stock under the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) which provides for eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Prior to the January 29, 2006 adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), the Company accounted 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, because 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, and any purchase discounts under the Company’s ESPP plan were within statutory limits, no compensation expense was recognized by the Company for stock-based compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), stock-based compensation was included as a proforma disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. 46 Effective January 29, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated financial statements for granted, modified, or settled stock options and for expense related to the ESPP, since the related purchase discount exceeded the amount allowed under SFAS 123R for non-compensatory treatment. The provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new stock options and stock options outstanding, but not yet vested, on the effective date of January 29, 2006. Results for prior periods have not been restated, as provided for under the modified-prospective transition method. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized for the year ended February 3, 2007 was $24.3 million before income taxes and consisted of stock option and ESPP expense of $23.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Based upon the nature of the employees to which it relates, the expense was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The related total tax benefit was $9.3 million for the year ended February 3, 2007. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash inflows in the consolidated statements of cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No 00-15, “Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option.” SFAS 123R requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options to be classified as financing cash inflows rather than operating cash inflows, on a prospective basis. This amount is shown as “Excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation” on the consolidated statements of cash flows. In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards” (“FSP 123R-3”). The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in FSP 123R-3 for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation under SFAS 123R. The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of stock-based compensation, and for determining the impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R. The following table illustrates the effect on the net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation (see Note 9): (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Net income, as reported Deduct: Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax of related tax effects Proforma net income Net income per common share – basic As reported Deduct: Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax Proforma Net income per common share – diluted: As reported Deduct: Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax Proforma 2005 2004 $ $ $ $ $ $ 72,980 (13,484) 59,496 1.47 (0.28) 1.19 1.35 (0.25) 1.10 $ $ $ $ $ $ 68,905 (11,761) 57,144 1.44 (0.25) 1.19 1.30 (0.22) 1.08 Disclosures for 2006 are not presented because the amounts are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. 47 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: Black - Scholes Valuation Assumptions1 Expected life (years)2 Expected volatility3 Weighted average volatility Risk-free interest rate4 Expected dividend yield Weighted average fair values Employee Stock Options Employee Stock Purchase Plan 2006 5.29 Proforma 2005 5.29 Proforma 2004 5 2006 0.5 Proforma 2005 0.5 Proforma 2004 0.5 37%–39% 38.79% 26%–30% 27.84% 4.44%–4.97% 3.63%–4.44% 3.42%–3.96% 5.09%–5.31% 3.38%–4.40% 1.69%–2.61% 24%–32% 27%–40% 35.10% 52%–54% 53.32% 39%–41% 40.53% 28.44% – 16.67 $ – 15.26 $ – 15.77 $ – 10.24 $ $ – 8.29 $ – 7.21 1 Beginning on the date of adoption of SFAS 123R, forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience, prior to the date of adoption, forfeitures were recorded as they occurred. 2 The expected life of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of the similar awards. 3 Beginning on the date of adoption of SFAS 123R, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock since the inception of the Company’s shares being publicly traded in October 2002; prior to the date of adoption, expected volatility was estimated using the Company’s historical volatility and volatility of other publicly-traded retailers. 4 The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. See Note 9 for additional details regarding stock-based compensation. Income Taxes — The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and provides deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the amounts reported for assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and for income tax reporting purposes. Revenue Recognition — Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point-of-sale. Revenue from cash received for gift cards is deferred, and the revenue is recognized upon the redemption of the gift card. Sales are recorded net of estimated returns. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized upon receipt of final payment from the customer. Advertising Costs — Production costs of advertising and the costs to run the advertisements are expensed the first time the advertisement takes place. Advertising expense, net of cooperative advertising was $122.9 million, $96.1 million and $78.3 million for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Vendor Allowances — Vendor allowances include allowances, rebates and cooperative advertising funds received from vendors. These funds are determined for each fiscal year and the majority are based on various quantitative contract terms. Amounts expected to be received from vendors relating to the purchase of merchandise inventories are recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction to the related expense in the period that the related expense is incurred. The Company records an estimate of earned allowances based on the latest projected purchase volumes and advertising forecasts. On an annual basis at the end of the fiscal year, the Company confirms earned allowances with vendors to determine that the amounts are recorded in accordance with the terms of the contract. Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company has financial instruments, which include long-term debt and revolving debt. The carrying amounts of the Company’s debt instruments approximate their fair value, estimated using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. 48 Segment Information — The Company is a specialty retailer that offers a broad range of products in its specialty retail stores in the eastern United States. Given the economic characteristics of the store formats, the similar nature of the products sold, the type of customer, and method of distribution, the operations of the Company are one reportable segment. The following table sets forth the approximate amount of net sales attributable to hardlines, apparel and footwear for the periods presented: Merchandise Category (Dollars in millions) Hardlines Apparel Footwear Total net sales Fiscal Year 2006 2005 2004 $ $ 1,768 811 535 3,114 $ $ 1,497 672 456 2,625 $ $ 1,216 530 363 2,109 Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-3 (“EITF 06-3”), “Disclosure Requirements for Taxes Assessed by a Governmental Authority on Revenue-Producing Transactions,” which provides that entities should present such taxes on either a gross or net basis based on their accounting policies. The Company’s accounting policy is to record such taxes on a net basis. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of EITF 06-3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 will not have a material impact on our financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes and is effective as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. The cumulative effect, if any, of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal 2007. The Company expects that the financial impact of applying the provisions of FIN 48 to all tax positions will not be material upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements; however, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements. 2. Acquisition On July 29, 2004, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. acquired all of the common stock of Galyan’s for $16.75 per share in cash, and Galyan’s became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dick’s. The Company has recorded $156.6 of goodwill as the excess of the purchase price of $369.6 million over the fair value of the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company received an independent appraisal for certain assets to determine their fair value. The purchase price allocation is final, except for any potential income tax changes that may arise. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed: (In thousands) Inventory Other current assets Property and equipment, net Other long-term assets, excluding goodwill Goodwill Favorable leases Accounts payable Accrued expenses Other current liabilities Long-term debt Other long-term liabilities Fair value of net assets acquired, including intangibles $ 158,780 65,603 157,211 4,458 156,628 5,310 (93,944) (61,223) (9,937) (5,859) (7,455) $ 369,572 49 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT As of February 3, 2007, the Company had a net receivable of $0.7 million as our projected sublease cash flows exceed our anticipated rent payments for two of the closed former Galyan’s stores. These costs were accounted for under Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination”. The following table summarizes the activity in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004: (In thousands) Liabilities and reserves established in conjuction with the Galyan’s acquisition at July 31, 2004 Cash paid Adjustments to the estimate Clearance of discontinued Galyan’s merchandise Balance at January 29, 2005 Cash paid (net of sublease receipts) Adjustments to the estimate Clearance of discontinued Galyan’s merchandise Balance at January 28, 2006 Cash paid (net of sublease receipts) Adjustments to the estimate Clearance of discontinued Galyan’s merchandise Balance at February 3, 2007 Associate Severance, Retention and Relocation Liabilities Established for the Closing of Galyan’s stores and Corporate Headquarters Inventory Reserve for Discontinued Galyan’s Merchandise $ $ $ $ 15,600 (11,381) (599) – 3,620 (3,284) (216) – 120 (120) – – – $ $ $ $ 15,838 (3,834) (8,331) – 3,673 (4,242) – – (569) (85) – – (654) $ $ $ $ 22,686 – – (16,376) 6,310 – – (6,310) – – – – – $ $ $ $ Total 54,124 (15,215) (8,930) (16,376) 13,603 (7,526) (216) (6,310) (449) (205) – – (654) The $6.3 million and $16.4 million of inventory reserve utilized for the clearance of discontinued Galyan’s merchandise in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively, was recorded as a reduction of cost of sales. The following unaudited proforma summary presents information as if Galyan’s had been acquired at the beginning of the period presented. The proforma amounts include certain reclassifications to Galyan’s amounts to conform them to the Company’s presentation, and an increase in interest expense of $3.9 million for the year ended January 29, 2005, to reflect the increase in borrowings under the amended credit facility to finance the acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. The proforma amounts do not reflect any benefits from economies which may be achieved from combining the operations. The proforma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the companies been combined during the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of the combined companies. Year Ended (Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts) Net sales Net income Basic earnings per share Diluted earnings per share 50 January 29, 2005 $ 2,448,643 56,452 $ 1.18 $ 1.07 $ 3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In connection with the acquisition of Galyan’s on July 29, 2004, the Company recorded goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The Company recorded $156.6 million of goodwill as the excess of the purchase price of $369.6 million over the fair value of the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company will continue to assess, on an annual basis, whether goodwill is impaired. Additional impairment assessments may be performed on an interim basis if the Company deems it necessary. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives and reviewed for impairment when factors indicate that an impairment may have occurred. No amounts assigned to any intangible assets are deductible for tax purposes. Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization at February 3, 2007 were as follows: Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization: Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization 2006 2005 2004 (In thousands) Favorable leases $ 5,310 $ (186) $ 5,310 $ (45) $ 5,310 $ 1 The estimated weighted average economic useful life is 10 years. The annual amortization expense of the favorable leases recorded as of February 3, 2007 is expected to be as follows: Fiscal Years (In thousands) 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Thereafter Total Estimated Amortization Expense 241 345 453 590 548 2,947 5,124 $ 4. Store and Corporate Office Closings At a store’s closing or relocation date, estimated lease termination and other costs to close or relocate a store are recorded in cost of goods sold, including occupancy and distribution costs on the consolidated statements of income. The calculation of accrued lease termination and other costs primarily includes future minimum lease payments, maintenance costs and taxes from the date of closure or relocation to the end of the remaining lease term, net of contractual or estimated sublease income. The liability is discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest. The assumptions used in the calculation of the accrued lease termination and other costs are evaluated each quarter. The following table summarizes the activity of the store closing reserves established due to Dick’s store closings as a result of the Galyan’s acquisition as well as the relocation of two stores during fiscal 2006: (In thousands) Accrued store closing and relocation reserves, beginning of period Expense charged to earnings Cash payments Interest accretion and other changes in assumptions Accrued store closing and relocation reserves, end of period Less current portion of accrued store closing and relocation reserves Long-term portion of accrued store closing and relocation reserves 2006 2005 $ $ 20,181 4,328 (4,867) 261 19,903 (6,135) 13,768 $ $3,191 21,545 (4,555) – 20,181 (4,845) 15,336 51 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT The $4.3 million of expense charged to earnings for the year was recorded in cost of goods sold, including occupancy and distribution costs in the consolidated statements of income. The current portion of accrued store closing and relocation reserves is recorded in accrued expenses and the long-term portion is recorded in long-term deferred revenue and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. 5.

Net proceeds of $145.6 million to the Company are net of transaction costs associated with the offering of $6.2 million, and the net cost of a convertible bond hedge and a separate warrant transaction. The hedge and warrant transactions effectively increase the conversion price 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 economic effect to shareholders 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 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 52 convertible notes are convertible into the Company’s 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, 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 Company’s 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, accreted 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 to shareholders from the conversion of the senior convertible notes. Under the five year term 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 Company’s 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. Revolving Credit Agreement — On July 28, 2004, the Company executed its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), between Dick’s and lenders named therein. The Credit Agreement became effective on July 29, 2004 and provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to $350 million, including up to $75 million in the form of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement’s term was extended to May 30, 2008. As of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006, the Company’s total remaining borrowing capacity, after subtracting letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement was $333.5 million and $275.6 million, respectively. Borrowing availability under the Company’s Credit Agreement is generally limited to the lesser of 70% of the Company’s eligible inventory or 85% of the Company’s inventory’s liquidation value, in each case net of specified reserves and less any letters of credit outstanding. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is based upon a formula at either (a) the prime corporate lending rate or (b) the one-month London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”), plus the applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.75% based on the level of excess borrowing availability. Borrowings are collateralized by the assets of the Company, excluding store and distribution center equipment and fixtures that have a net carrying value of $103.5 million as of February 3, 2007.

Earnings per Common Share The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is 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 calculations for the year ended February 3, 2007. The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: Fiscal Year Ended (In thousands, except per share data) Earnings per common share – Basic: Net income Weighted average common shares outstanding Earnings per common share Earnings per common share – Diluted: Net income Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic Stock options Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted Earnings per common share 2006 2005 2004 $ $ $ $ 112,611 51,256 2.20 112,611 51,256 4,139 55,395 2.03 $ $ $ $ 72,980 49,792 1.47 72,980 49,792 4,187 53,979 1.35 $ $ $ $ 68,905 47,978 1.44 68,905 47,978 4,943 52,921 1.30 Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive options totaled 0.2 million for fiscal 2006. There were no anti-dilutive options in fiscal 2005 or 2004. 13. Investments In April 2001, the Company entered into an Internet commerce agreement with GSI. Under the terms of this 10-year agreement, GSI is responsible for all financial and operational aspects of the Internet site, which operates under the domain name “DicksSportingGoods.com,” which name has been licensed to GSI by the Company. The Company and GSI entered into a royalty arrangement that permitted the Company, at its election, to purchase an equity ownership in GSI at a price that was less than the GSI market value per share in lieu of royalties until Internet sales reached a predefined amount. The equity ownership consists of unregistered common stock of GSI and warrants to purchase unregistered common stock of GSI (see Note 1). The Company recognized the difference between the fair value of the GSI stock and its cost as deferred revenue to be amortized over the 10-year term of the agreement. Deferred revenue at February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006 was $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. In total, the number of shares the Company holds represents less than 5% of GSI’s outstanding common stock. During fiscal 2005 and 2004, the Company realized a pre-tax gain of $1.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively, resulting from the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in GSI. 14. Retirement Savings Plan The Company’s retirement savings plan, established pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covers all employees who have completed one year of service and have attained 21 years of age. Under the terms of the retirement savings plan, the Company provides a matching contribution equal to 50% of each participant’s contribution up to 10% of the participant’s compensation, and may make a discretionary contribution. Total expense recorded under the plan was $3.0 million, $2.6 million and $1.8 million for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 59 DICK’S SPORTING GOODS, INC. 2006 ANNUAL REPORT 15. Commitments and Contingencies The Company enters into licensing agreements for the exclusive rights to use certain trademarks extending through 2020. Under specific agreements, the Company is obligated to pay an annual guaranteed minimum royalty. The aggregate amount of required payments at February 3, 2007 is as follows: Fiscal Year (In thousands) 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Thereafter $ $ 1,000 1,250 1,500 1,700 1,900 24,000 31,350 In addition, certain agreements require the Company to pay additional royalties if the qualified purchases are in excess of the guaranteed minimum. The Company paid $0.7 million under agreements requiring minimum guaranteed contractual amounts during fiscal 2006. There were no payments made during fiscal 2005. The Company is involved in legal proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of its business. Although the outcome of any pending legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that adequate insurance coverage is maintained and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations. 16. Subsequent Event On February 13, 2007, the Company acquired Golf Galaxy by means of a merger of our wholly owned subsidiary with and into Golf Galaxy, with each Golf Galaxy shareholder receiving $18.82 per share in cash, without interest and Golf Galaxy became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company paid approximately $226.0 million which was financed using approximately $79 million of cash and cash equivalents and the balance from borrowings under our revolving line of credit. At closing, Golf Galaxy operated 65 stores in 24 states, ecommerce website and catalog operations. Golf Galaxy had net sales totaling $274.7 million for the 12 month period ending February 3, 2007. Golf Galaxy’s results of operations will be included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income beginning February 13, 2007.

The adjusted financial information is considered non-GAAP and is not preferable to GAAP financial information; however, the Company believes this information provides additional measures of performance that the Company’s management and investors can use to compare core, operating results between reporting periods. The Company has provided reconciliations below for EBITDA, ROIC, net income and earnings per share adjusted for merger integration and store closing costs, the acquisition of Galyan’s on July 29, 2004, the gain on sale of investment and stock compensation expense (for fiscal 2005). EBITDA EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other generally accepted accounting principles measure of performance or liquidity.
