Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on August 30, 2023, Academy announced that its Board of Directors (“Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on October 11, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 13, 2023.<\/p>\n

Michael Mullican, President, said, “In the second quarter we made significant progress in aligning our expenses with our current sales trends. Our operating margin improved 420 basis points from the first quarter, driven by higher gross margin, sequential improvement in shrink as a rate to sales and disciplined expense management. We also continued to execute our capital allocation plan in the quarter, while self-funding our long-term growth initiatives.”<\/p>\n

\n
\n New Store Openings<\/u>
\n <\/strong>
\n
During the second quarter, Academy opened one new store, bringing the total quarter-end number of stores to 270 stores. The Company expects to open six stores in the third quarter and five to six in the fourth quarter and a total of 120 to 140 stores over the five fiscal year period ending with fiscal 2027.<\/p>\n

\n
\n 2023 Outlook<\/u>
\n <\/strong>
\n
Academy is reiterating its previous sales and net income guidance for fiscal 2023, while updating its EPS forecast to reflect the share repurchase activity completed in the second quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n Non-GAAP Measures<\/u>
\n <\/strong>
\n
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Common Share, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have been presented in this press release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d). The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as it provides additional information on comparisons between periods by excluding certain items that affect overall comparability. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes, to consider underlying trends of its business, and in measuring its performance relative to others in the market, and believes presenting these measures also provides information to investors and others for understanding and evaluating trends in the Company\u2019s operating results or measuring performance in the same manner as the Company\u2019s management. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company\u2019s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures. For additional information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), which may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on Academy\u2019s current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. forward-looking statements may incorporate words such as \u201cbelieve,\u201d \u201cexpect,\u201d \u201cforward,\u201d \u201cahead,\u201d \u201copportunities,\u201d \u201cplans,\u201d \u201cpriorities,\u201d \u201cgoals,\u201d \u201cfuture,\u201d \u201cshort\/long term,\u201d \u201cwill,\u201d \u201cshould,\u201d or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. The forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the Company\u2019s fiscal 2023 outlook, the Company\u2019s strategic plans and financial objectives, growth of the Company\u2019s business and operations, the Company\u2019s payment of dividends and declaration of future dividends, including the timing and amount thereof, share repurchases by the Company, the Company’s expectations regarding its future performance, and future financial condition, and other such matters, and are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional, or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors that could affect overall consumer spending or our industry, including the possible effects of ongoing macroeconomic challenges, inflation and increases in interest rates, or changes to the financial health of our customers, many of which are beyond Academy’s control. These and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are set forth in Academy’s filings with the SEC, including the Annual Report and the Company\u2019s Quarterly Report for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2023, under the caption “Risk Factors,” as may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement in this press release speaks only as of the date of this release. Academy undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We define \u201cAdjusted EBITDA\u201d as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation, amortization, and impairment, further adjusted to exclude costs such as equity compensation expense, (gain) loss on early retirement of debt, net, payroll taxes associated with a vesting event, as a result of a secondary offering, of certain time and performance-based equity awards, which occurred in May 2021 (the \u201c2021 Vesting Event\u201d) and other adjustments. We define \u201cAdjusted EBIT\u201d as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, and income tax expense, further adjusted to exclude costs such as equity compensation expense, (gain) loss on early retirement of debt, net, payroll taxes associated with the 2021 Vesting Event and other adjustments.

We define \u201cAdjusted Net Income\u201d as net income (loss), plus costs such as equity compensation expense, (gain) loss on early retirement of debt, net, payroll taxes associated with the 2021 Vesting Event and other adjustments, less the tax effect of these adjustments. We define \u201cAdjusted Earnings per Common Share, Basic\u201d as Adjusted Net Income divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding during the period and \u201cAdjusted Earnings per Common Share, Diluted\u201d as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
