- We continue to innovate our omni-channel athlete experience through our DICK’S House of Sport stores, Golf Galaxy Performance Centers and our DICK’S Field House stores, and believe that a key driver of our future omni-channel growth will include repositioning our store portfolio to grow these stores.
- In addition to these strategies and foundational improvements, consumers have also made what we believe will be lasting lifestyle changes in recent years, prioritizing sport and maintaining healthy, active lifestyles, which has increased demand for our products.
- We believe there is strength and momentum in the sports industry in the United States and expect this trend to continue in the near term, with continued excitement around women’s sports, the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup and the upcoming 2028 Olympics.
- The acquisition of Foot Locker was a transformative step towards creating a global platform that serves a broader set of athletes through differentiated iconic concepts and robust digital experiences, which we believe will deepen our brand partnerships as a combined company in a way that will redefine sports retail.
- updated · Since the acquisition, we assembled a new leadership team to lead the Foot Locker Business and started our Fast Break initiative to test improved merchandise presentations and assortment, which we scaled to over 250 stores globally ahead of the back-to-school selling season and plan to continue to expand to more locations ahead of the holiday season.
- updated · We expect that efforts to optimize the inventory assortment and store portfolio of the Foot Locker Business, restructuring costs, as well as other merger and integration and financing costs, will result in total estimated pre-tax acquisition-related charges up to $750 million.
- new · We currently expect to incur approximately $200 million of these charges in fiscal 2026, with the remaining charges to be incurred over the medium term.
- Additionally, we anticipate the acquisition to deliver between $100 million to $125 million in cost synergies in the medium term, to be primarily achieved through procurement and direct sourcing efficiencies.
- new · However, balanced against the dynamic geopolitical and macroeconomic environment and a more challenging athletic footwear and apparel marketplace, we are lowering our sales and profit outlook for the year.
