    Tariff Mitigation Actions

    The Company believes that it has mostly offset the impact of the current incremental tariffs on its business for fiscal 2025.  The Company deployed multiple tactics, including:

    • Partnering with factories and vendors to absorb a portion of the incremental expense
    • Working with overseas partners to shift country of origin where it made sense
    • Adjusting unit buys where needed
    • Pulling in additional inventory from brands that had available goods in domestic warehouses
    • Utilizing our pricing optimization tool to create strategies to drive higher Average Unit Retails (AUR's)

    The Company believes these actions should mitigate the impact of the tariffs throughout the remainder of this year while still being able to serve customers by delivering a strong value proposition. In the event of additional tariffs, the Company will continue to develop strategies to offset any impacts utilizing the tactics described above.

    2025 Outlook

    "Sales for the second quarter continued to improve, and we saw meaningful acceleration in our strategic initiatives. In addition, we believe we now have additional visibility into tariff impacts and are well positioned to mitigate them," said Carl Ford, Chief Financial Officer. "Based on the results from the first half of the year and the expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2025, we are narrowing the low end of our sales guidance from -4.0% to -3.0%. The updated sales guidance range is -3.0% to positive 1.0%. We expect the tax rate for the year to be 23.5%."

    Academy is revising its previous guidance for fiscal 2025 as follows:

    (1) We define comparable sales as the percentage of period-over-period net sales increase or decrease, in the aggregate, for stores open after thirteen full fiscal months, as well as for all eCommerce sales.

    (2) Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share (EPS), diluted, and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. See "Non-GAAP Measures" and "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

    (3) We have not reconciled guidance for adjusted free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts given the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events often outside of management's control and could be significant; therefore, we are unable to provide an estimate of the most closely comparable GAAP measure at this time.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    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 ("GAAP"). The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they provide 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's operating results or measuring performance in the same manner as the Company's management. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's 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 February 1, 2025 (the "Annual Report"), filed on March 20, 2025 and our Quarterly Report for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2025 to be filed on September 2, 2025 ("the Quarterly 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.

    See "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
