HIBBETT REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Quarterly Earnings Per Diluted Share of $2.86, Well Above Consensus
Q2 Comp Sales Decline 6.4% Versus Fiscal 2021; Two-Year Comp Increase of 72.8%
YTD Comp Sales Increase 30.3% Versus Fiscal 2021; Two-Year Comp Increase of 63.4%
Raises Full Year Sales and Diluted EPS Guidance

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (August 27, 2021) - Hibbett, Inc. (Nasdaq/GS: HIBB), an athletic-inspired fashion retailer, today provided financial results for its second quarter ended July 31, 2021, and business updates.

Mike Longo, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our current year second quarter results were strong and compare favorably to the prior year second quarter that experienced a significant boost from market disruption, pent up demand and the first round of stimulus payments. We believe our significant revenue growth and profitability over the previous two years ago demonstrates that our strategy of delivering a compelling assortment of highly coveted merchandise coupled with superior customer service and a best-in-class omni-channel platform will continue to drive strong top and bottom line performance.”

Mr. Longo continued, “Our inventory position improved during the quarter despite ongoing disruptions in the supply chain and helped drive quarterly sales. Foundational enhancements to the customer experience and our ability to attract and stay connected to underserved customers continues to strengthen our relationships with our vendor partners.”

Finally, Mr. Longo concluded, “The dedication from all of our team members continues to be a key component of our rapid growth and strong financial performance. We believe that our investments in employees, stores, the online experience, distribution capabilities and our vendor relationships have positioned the Hibbett and City Gear brands to take advantage of the ongoing market disruption and to generate sustainable, profitable growth into the future.”

Second Quarter Results

Net sales for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, decreased 5.1% to $419.3 million compared with $441.6 million for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020, but reflected a two-year increase of 66.1% compared to the $252.4 million for the 13-week period ended August 3, 2019. Compared to the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020, comparable sales decreased 6.4%, as brick and mortar comparable sales declined 3.8% and e-commerce sales decreased 20.4%. E-commerce represented 13.1% of total net sales for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, compared to 15.7% in the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020. On a two-year basis, comparable sales increased 72.8% versus the 13-week period ended August 3, 2019. Brick and mortar comparable sales increased 64.5% and e-commerce sales grew 153.3% over this 2-year period. As a reminder, sales in the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020, were positively impacted by pent-up consumer demand, temporary and permanent store closures by our competitors, and stimulus money which increased traffic to our stores and website. This year, despite reduced stimulus payments and less disruption to our largest competitors, we believe our increased market share, improved customer engagement, and availability of in-demand product were significant offsets to these headwinds.

Gross margin was 39.0% of net sales for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, compared with 37.0% of net sales for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020. The approximate 200 basis point increase was driven by higher sell





Exhibit 99.1
through of premium priced product, a low promotional environment, improved profitability of e-commerce sales, and a slight mix shift away from e-commerce sales which, despite an overall improved margin, still carry a lower rate due to incremental fulfillment costs. Excluding adjustments to our non-cash inventory valuation reserves in the prior year quarter, the gross margin of 39.0% for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021 is comparable to the adjusted gross margin of 36.7% for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020.

Store operating, selling and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were 22.3% of net sales for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, compared with 22.6% of net sales for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020. This decrease was the result of having minimal costs in the current year associated with City Gear acquisition and integration activities. Excluding certain City Gear acquisition and integration expenses that occurred last year, SG&A expenses of 22.3% of net sales for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, increased approximately 300 basis points, from adjusted SG&A expenses of 19.3% of net sales for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020. This increase was primarily related to the incremental cost of our stores operating at regular business hours with full staffs as well as increased investments to attract new customers, improve the customer experience, and make back-office processes more efficient. In the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020, many of our stores operated at less than regular business hours with slightly reduced staffing levels.

Net income for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, was $46.7 million, or $2.86 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $40.4 million, or $2.38 per share, for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020. As there were no adjustments in the second quarter of the current year, net income for the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, was $46.7 million, or $2.86 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020, of $50.0 million, or $2.95 per diluted share.

For the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, we opened 11 new stores and closed two underperforming stores, bringing the store base to 1,080 in 35 states.

We ended the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 with $176.8 million of available cash and cash equivalents on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of July 31, 2021, we had no debt outstanding and full availability under our $100.0 million secured credit facility.

Inventory at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2022 was $216.8 million, a 19.1% increase compared to the prior year second quarter.

Capital expenditures during the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, were $13.8 million compared to $8.4 million in the 13-week period ended August 1, 2020. Current year capital expenditures were predominantly related to store development activities including new store openings, relocations, expansions, and remodels.

During the 13-week period ended July 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 989,388 shares of common stock for a total expenditure of $83.5 million, including 4,125 shares acquired from holders of restricted stock unit awards to satisfy tax withholding requirements of $0.3 million. The Company also initiated a recurring quarterly dividend equal to $0.25 per outstanding common share that resulted in a cash outlay of $3.8 million.

Fiscal Year-to-Date Results

Net sales for the 26-week period ended July 31, 2021, increased 30.2% to $926.1 million compared with $711.4 million for the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020, and increased 55.5% over two years from $595.7 million in the 26-week period ended August 3, 2019. Comparable sales increased 30.3% versus the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020. Brick and mortar comparable sales were up 39.9% and e-commerce sales decreased 11.4%, representing 12.4% of total sales in the 26-week period ended July 31, 2021 compared to 18.2% of total sales in the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020. Over two years, comparable sales increased 63.5% versus the 26-week period ended August 3, 2019. Brick and mortar comparable sales increased 56.9% and e-commerce sales grew 127.7% over this 2-year period.






Exhibit 99.1
Gross margin was 40.3% of net sales for the 26-week period ended July 31, 2021, compared with 33.4% for the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020. Excluding adjustments to our non-cash inventory valuation reserves in the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020, the current year gross margin of 40.3% is comparable to the adjusted gross margin of 33.9% in the prior year.

SG&A expenses were 20.0% of net sales for the 26-week period ended July 31, 2021, compared with 26.6% of net sales for the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020. Excluding certain City Gear acquisition and integration expenses and pandemic related impairment and valuation costs that occurred in the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020, current year SG&A expenses of 20.0% of net sales reflected an improvement of approximately 100 basis points from adjusted SG&A expenses of 21.0% of net sales for the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020.

Net income for the 26-week period ended July 31, 2021, was $131.5 million, or $7.90 per diluted share, compared to $25.1 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020. On an adjusted basis, net income for the 26-week period ended July 31, 2021, was $131.5 million, or $7.90 per diluted share, compared to $55.3 million, or $3.30 per diluted share, for the 26-week period ended August 1, 2020.

Fiscal 2022 Outlook

Given the strong performance in the second quarter, we are updating our financial guidance for Fiscal 2022, which ends January 29, 2022. Due to continuing uncertainty in the business environment, potential legislation that could negatively impact our business, changes in consumer spending habits and ongoing supply chain disruptions, forecasting future results remains difficult and we are therefore providing limited forward guidance regarding our updated outlook for Fiscal 2022.

Our projected financial results for Fiscal 2022 are influenced by many factors, several of which are discussed below:
We attracted new customers to our store locations and to our omni-channel platform in Fiscal 2021 due to pent-up demand, market disruption and government stimulus payments. Many of these new customers made repeat purchases. We expect to continue to attract and retain new customers during Fiscal 2022.
Accelerating consumer adoption of e-commerce, which we believe is likely a permanent change, will continue to benefit our omni-channel business.
Our strong vendor relationships allow us to meet customer demand for athletic-inspired fashion footwear, apparel and accessories both in-store and online.
Other initiatives, including net low double digit unit store growth per brand, an improved in-store experience resulting from our store refresh program, increased speed to market via supply chain enhancements and an improved focus on our sales culture.

Specific items not factored into our outlook include further government stimulus payments, unannounced and/or unexpected market disruption, changes to the Federal minimum wage or significant wage inflation, increases in corporate tax rates and shifts in consumer spending habits.

Based on the considerations above and our results in the first half of the year, we forecast the following GAAP results for Fiscal 2022:
Comparable sales versus the prior year are expected to be in the positive mid-teens, up from our previous guidance range of positive high-single digits to positive low-double digits;
Gross margin is expected to be lower in the second half of Fiscal 2022 in relation to the first half of Fiscal 2022, but is expected to be favorable to both GAAP and adjusted Fiscal 2021 gross margin on a full year basis, which is consistent with the previous guidance;
SG&A is expected to increase as a percent of sales in the second half of Fiscal 2022 in comparison to the first half of Fiscal 2022, but is still anticipated to decline as a percent of sales in comparison to both GAAP and adjusted SG&A in Fiscal 2021 on a full year basis, which is consistent with the previous guidance;
Diluted earnings per share in the range of $11.00 to $11.50, assuming an effective tax rate of approximately 25.0% and a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 16.2 million.

Non-GAAP results for Fiscal 2022 are not expected to materially differ from our GAAP results.





Exhibit 99.1

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2022, we continued to evaluate attractive investment opportunities for deploying our capital. We now plan to invest approximately $70.0 million of capital on attractive organic growth opportunities that we believe will lead to higher sales and on various infrastructure projects that will enhance our distribution and back-office efficiency during Fiscal 2022. We believe that these growth opportunities will enhance the consumer experience both in stores and online and modernize our technology and processes. In addition to our capital expenditure plans, we intend to opportunistically allocate capital to share repurchases and remain dedicated to returning capital to our stockholders in the form of our recently initiated regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures for both the 13-week period and 26-week period ended August 1, 2020, including adjusted net income, earnings per share, gross margin, SG&A expenses, and operating income as a percentage of net sales. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of our current financial results to historical operations and the financial results of peer companies, as they exclude the effects of items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our underlying operating results, such as expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the acquisition of City Gear. Costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic include impairment charges of goodwill, tradename and other assets, and lower of cost or net realizable value inventory reserve charges. The costs related to the acquisition of City Gear include change in valuation of the contingent earnout and professional fees. There were no non-GAAP financial measures for either the 13-week period or 26-week period ended July 31, 2021.

While our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance their ability to assess certain aspects of our financial performance, our management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial statements. Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of our financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial statements, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, please see the sections titled “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” that accompany this press release.
