CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "seeks," "continues," "feels," "forecasts," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "should," "could," "may," "aims," "intends," or "projects." Statements may be forward looking even in the absence of these particular words.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our financial position, the expected timing of the completion of the proposed transaction with DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. ("DICK'S"), business strategy and other plans and objectives for our future operations, and generation of free cash flow. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. The forward-looking statements contained herein are largely based on our expectations for the future, which reflect certain estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions, operating trends, and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. As such, management's assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate.
We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, changes in circumstances, or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf. Management cautions you that the forward-looking statements contained herein are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure you that such statements will be realized or that the events and circumstances they describe will occur. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements herein include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of us or DICK'S to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among us, DICK'S and a wholly owned subsidiary of DICK'S ("Merger Sub") pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub would be merged with and into us (the "Transaction"); the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us, including with respect to the Transaction; the possibility that the Transaction does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory or shareholder approvals or other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of our customers, employees or other business partners; the diversion of our management's attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities due to the Transaction; a change in the relationship with any of our key suppliers, including access to premium products, volume discounts, cooperative advertising, markdown allowances, or the ability to cancel orders or return excess or unneeded merchandise; inventory management; our ability to fund our planned capital investments; execution of the Company's long-term strategic plan; a recession, volatility in the financial markets, and other global economic factors, including inflation; capital and resource allocation among our strategic opportunities; our ability to integrate the operations acquisitions; business opportunities and expansion; investments; expenses; dividends; share repurchases; cash management; liquidity; cash flow from operations; access to credit markets at competitive terms; instability in the financial markets; borrowing capacity under our credit facility; cash repatriation; supply chain issues; labor shortages and wage pressures; consumer spending levels and expectations; licensed store arrangements; the effect of certain governmental assistance programs; the success of our marketing and sponsorship arrangements; expectations regarding increasing global taxes and tariffs; the effect of increased government regulation, compliance, and changes in law; the effect of the adverse outcome of any material litigation or government investigation that affects us or our industry generally; the effects of weather; ESG risks; increased competition; geopolitical events; the financial effects of accounting regulations and critical accounting policies; counterparty credit risks; and any other factors set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak to our views only as of the date of this filing. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently consider to be insignificant may also affect our business operations and financial performance.
Please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the updates provided in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q, for a discussion of certain risks relating to our business and any investment in our securities. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this report, or any other public statement made by us, including by our management, may turn out to be incorrect. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Direct-to-customer orders are generally shipped to our customers through our distribution centers but may also be shipped from any store or a combination of our distribution centers and stores depending on availability of particular items. We operate in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, representing our operating segments. We aggregate these operating segments into reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property, plant and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill, other intangible assets, and minority investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These assets are measured using Level 3 inputs, if determined to be impaired.

11. Earnings Per Share
We account for earnings per share ("EPS") using the treasury stock method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net (loss) income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic EPS computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.

Generally, RSU awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically over years for employees and year for nonemployee directors, provided there is continued service with the Company until the vesting date, subject to the terms of the award. PSU awards are earned only after the attainment of performance goals in connection with the relevant performance period. PSUs granted in 2024 and 2025 vest after the attainment of the performance period, which is years. Prior PSU grants vested after the attainment of the performance period of years and an additional -year period. dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU or PSU awards.

13. Legal Proceedings
Legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries consist of ordinary, routine litigation, or pre-litigation demands, including administrative proceedings, incidental to the business of the Company or businesses that have been sold or discontinued by the Company in past years. These legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, customer, environmental, and employment-related claims.
We do not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, as described above, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole, based upon current knowledge and taking into consideration current accruals. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Judgments could be rendered or settlements made that could adversely affect the Company's operating results or cash flows in a particular period.
14. Subsequent Event
As previously announced, on May 15, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. ("DICK'S) and RJS Sub LLC, a New York limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of DICK'S ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which, among other things, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
14. Subsequent Event (continued)
Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares owned by DICK'S, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries), will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each shareholder of Company Common Stock, (A) $
The transaction is subject to Foot Locker shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2025. If the Merger is consummated, the shares of Company Common Stock currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") will be delisted from the NYSE and will subsequently be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
Foot Locker, Inc. is a leading footwear and apparel retailer that unlocks the "inner sneakerhead" in all of us. We have a strong history of sneaker authority that sparks discovery and ignites the power of sneaker culture through our portfolio of brands, including Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS, and atmos.
Ensuring that our customers can engage with us in the most convenient manner for them whether in our stores, on our websites, or on our mobile applications, is a high priority for us. We use our omni-channel capabilities to bridge the digital world and physical stores, including order-in-store, buy online and pickup-in-store, and buy online and ship-from-store, as well as e-commerce. We operate websites and mobile apps aligned with the brand names of our store banners. These sites offer our largest product selections and provide a seamless link between our e-commerce experience and physical stores.
As previously announced on May 15, 2025, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. The transaction is subject to Foot Locker shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2025.
Store Count
At May 3, 2025, we operated 2,363 stores as compared with 2,410 and 2,490 stores at February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively.
Licensed Operations
A total of 236 licensed stores were operating at May 3, 2025, as compared with 224 and 206 stores at February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively, operating in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. These stores are not included in the operating store count above. During the first quarter of 2025, we transitioned our operations in Greece and Romania to our licensing partner.
Results of Operations
We evaluate performance based on several factors, primarily the banner’s financial results, referred to as division profit. Division profit reflects income before income taxes, impairment and other charges, corporate expenses, non-operating income, and net interest expense.

See the Other Income (expense), net section for further information. |
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to reporting our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we report certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. We have presented certain financial measures identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.
We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements.
These non-GAAP measures are presented because we believe they assist investors in allowing a more direct comparison of our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives. We estimate the tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments by applying a marginal tax rate to each item. The income tax items represent the discrete amount that affected the period.
The non-GAAP financial information is provided in addition, and not as an alternative, to our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Presented below is a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP pre-tax (loss) income.

Segment Reporting and Results of Operations
We have determined that we have three operating segments, North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Our North America operating segment includes the results of the following banners operating in the U.S. and Canada: Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Kids Foot Locker, and WSS, including each of their related e-commerce businesses. Our EMEA operating segment includes the results of Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker, including each of their related e-commerce businesses. Our Asia Pacific operating segment includes the results of the Foot Locker banner and its related e-commerce business operating in Australia and New Zealand, as well as atmos, which operates in Japan. We have further aggregated these operating segments into one reportable segment based upon their shared customer base and similar economic characteristics.
Sales
All references to comparable-store sales for a given period relate to sales of stores that were open at the period-end and had been open for more than one year. The computation of consolidated comparable sales also includes our direct-to-customers channel. Stores opened or closed during the period are not included in the comparable-store base; however, stores closed temporarily for relocation or remodeling are included. Computations exclude the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. There may be variations in the way in which some of our competitors and other retailers calculate comparable or same store sales.
For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025, total sales decreased by $86 million, or 4.6%, to $1,788 million, as compared with the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, total sales decreased by $84 million, or 4.5% for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025. Currencies decreased sales primarily due to the U.S. dollar strengthening against the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar, partially offset by the U.S. dollar weakening relative to the euro. Comparable sales for the combined channels decreased by 2.6% for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025.

Comparable sales decreased for the total company and within the stores channel due to ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and consumer discretionary spending, which affected customer traffic. These decreases were partially offset by increases in comparable sales within the direct-to-customer channel due to higher traffic and improved digital product launches. From a product perspective for the combined channels, comparable sales were negatively affected from lower sales within the apparel category, while footwear sales were essentially unchanged partially offset by modestly higher sales in accessories.
Constant currency sales in North America sales were negatively affected by our strategic decision to close underperforming stores in our Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports banners, as 46, 21, and 17 fewer stores, respectively, were operating at period end as compared with the prior year period, coupled with the macroeconomic headwinds. However, comparable sales of our Kids Foot Locker and Champs Sports banners increased by 3.4% and 0.5%, respectively. The increase in comparable sales at Kids Foot Locker was driven by compelling product assortments. The increase in comparable sales at Champs Sports was driven by the successful repositioning of the brand under the platform "Sport For Life" and representing sustained momentum coming out of 2024. Constant currency sales in EMEA were negatively affected by lower customer traffic due to macroeconomic uncertainty. Also contributing to the sales decline was our strategic decision to close 34 underperforming stores in the region as compared with the prior year period. Sales decreased by $11 million related to our operations in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, and Romania. As we previously disclosed we closed our operations in the Nordics and sold our Greece and Romania businesses to a third party in the current quarter. Constant currency sales in Asia Pacific and atmos were also negatively affected by the macroeconomic headwinds and a highly competitive marketplace, partially offset by increases in e-commerce sales. Additionally, sales decreased by $2 million due to the previously disclosed closure of our business in South Korea.

Gross margin is calculated as sales minus cost of sales. Cost of sales includes: the cost of merchandise, freight, distribution costs including related depreciation expense, shipping and handling, occupancy and buyers’ compensation. Occupancy costs include rent (including fixed common area maintenance charges and other fixed non-lease components), real estate taxes, general maintenance, and utilities.
The gross margin rate decreased to 28.4% for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, reflecting a 10 basis point decrease in the merchandise margin rate and a 30 basis point deleverage in the occupancy and buyers' compensation rate. The merchandise margin rate decreased as we were more promotional to clear inventory in the countries we exited in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by better merchandise margins in our other banners and higher vendor allowances in the period. The occupancy and buyers' salary rate deleverage reflected the fixed nature of these costs in relation to the decline in sales.

As a percentage of sales, SG&A increased by 100 basis points for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025, due to underlying deleverage on the sales decline.

Depreciation and amortization expense was flat for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. The increase in depreciation and amortization from our capital expenditures was offset by operating fewer stores and lower depreciation and amortization associated with prior impairment charges. In addition, the WSS and atmos customer list intangible assets were fully amortized by the third quarter of 2024, which reduced amortization expense by $2 million.
Impairment and Other
For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $140 million to write down the WSS tradename and a non-cash charge of $110 million related to goodwill. The review of goodwill was the result of a triggering event due to a reduction in the Company's stock price and resulting market capitalization, coupled with general macroeconomic factors. Additionally, we recorded $15 million in non-cash impairment charges of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets. In connection with the previously announced global headquarters relocation and the shutdown of our businesses in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, we recorded accelerated tenancy and lease termination charges of $8 million. We have closed all stores operating in those regions as we focus on improving the overall results of international operations. Finally, we incurred $3 million of reorganization costs primarily related to the announced closure and relocation of the Company's global headquarters and the shutdown costs.
For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024, we recorded a $7 million loss accrual for legal claims and a $7 million impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets related to our decision to no longer operate, and to sublease, one of our larger unprofitable stores in Europe.

Depreciation and amortization included in corporate expense was $9 million for both the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024. Corporate expense increased primarily due to our ongoing investments in information technology to modernize our customer-facing and support capabilities.

In 2024, we entered into agreements to sell our Greece and Romania businesses and entered into license arrangements with the purchaser for the rights to operate Foot Locker stores in Greece and Romania and six other countries in South East Europe. The sale transactions, which closed in April 2025, reflected total consideration of $11 million (net of cash of $1 million) of which $6 million was paid at closing. The transactions resulted in a gain of $5 million, subject to the finalization of net working capital. Additionally, the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 other income (expense), net reflected expense of $1 million related to our pension and postretirement programs and $1 million loss on our equity method investments.

| Provision for income taxes |

| Effective tax rate |

Our current year interim provision for income taxes was measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which represented a blend of federal, state, and foreign taxes and included the effect of certain nondeductible items as well as changes in our mix of domestic and foreign earnings or losses, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented.
In the first quarter of 2025, it was determined that due to recent weakness in market conditions, the ability to utilize the entirety of our European deferred tax asset was less likely than prior periods or "not more likely than not" as defined under the accounting standards. As of May 3, 2025, we recorded a $117 million valuation allowance on all the deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets of certain European businesses. We will continue to monitor the recoverability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. We will recognize the benefit of the deferred tax assets in the future if sufficient positive evidence emerges to support their realization. Additionally, in connection with this assessment, we wrote off certain deferred tax costs of $7 million.
Also during the first quarter of 2025, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $110 million on non-deductible goodwill, accordingly no benefit was recognized in connection with this charge.
We regularly assess the adequacy of our provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, we may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits considering new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of limitation. The change in tax reserves during the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 was not significant. During the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024, we recognized $2 million in reserve releases from various statute of limitations expirations on our foreign income taxes.
Excluding these items, the effective tax rate for the current year period increased, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period, primarily due to the lower-level income before tax with non-deductible expenses remaining relatively unchanged, coupled with a change in geographic mix of earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations, while the principal uses of cash have been to fund inventory and other working capital requirements; finance capital expenditures related to store openings, store remodelings, internet and mobile sites, information systems, including the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system, and other support facilities; make retirement plan contributions, and interest payments; and fund other cash requirements to support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies. We generally finance real estate with operating leases. We believe our cash, cash equivalents, future cash flow from operations, and amounts available under our credit agreement will be adequate to fund these requirements.
Our expected full-year capital spending is $270 million and an additional $30 million is expected related to software-as-a-service implementation costs, totaling spend of $300 million. The forecast includes $185 million related to the updating ("refresh"), remodeling or relocation of stores, as well as new stores. This includes the planned opening of 80 "Reimagined" Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker stores, primarily through conversions or relocations of existing stores. Spending for 2025 also includes refreshing approximately 300 existing stores to our current brand design standards and will incorporate key elements of our "Reimagined" design specifications. Updating our stores or "refreshes" represent spending directed towards elevating our brand experience, with modest capital expenditures per store. Additionally, we expect to spend $85 million primarily for our technology and supply chain initiatives, including capital expenditures related to a new distribution center and our new global headquarters. We also expect to spend an additional $30 million in software-as-a-service implementation costs, related to our technology initiatives as we modernize our customer facing and support capabilities as part of a multi-year project.
Any material adverse change in customer demand, fashion trends, competitive market forces, or customer acceptance of our merchandise mix, retail locations and websites, uncertainties related to the effect of competitive products and pricing, our reliance on a few key suppliers for a significant portion of our merchandise purchases and risks associated with global product sourcing, economic conditions worldwide, the effects of currency fluctuations, as well as other factors listed under the headings "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," and "Risk Factors" could affect our ability to continue to fund our needs from business operations.

The decrease in cash from operating activities primarily reflected lower net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash items, a $38 million increase in rent payments due the timing of our fiscal year, a $24 million increase in incentive bonus payments made in the current year, and a $20 million contribution to fund our qualified pension plan, partially offset by a reduction in merchandise purchases.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Recoverability of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
We review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. The review of impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step qualitative impairment test.
When we perform the qualitative assessment, we consider many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including declines in our stock price and market capitalization in relation to the book value of the Company and macroeconomic conditions affecting retail. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, additional quantitative impairment testing is performed. The quantitative test requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill).
During the first quarter of 2025, a triggering event occurred as a result of a reduction in our market capitalization due to a decline in stock price and changes in the macroeconomic environment, which affected consumer discretionary spending. We used a discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans and primarily include, but are not limited to, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, earnings before depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures forecasts. Additionally, we compare the indicated equity value to our market capitalization and evaluate the resulting implied control premium to determine if the estimated enterprise value is reasonable compared to external market indicators. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. We evaluate the merits of each significant assumption, both individually and in the aggregate, used to determine the fair value of the reporting units, as well as the fair values of the corresponding assets and liabilities within the reporting units.
We have three reporting units, representing our operating segments of North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Our first quarter 2025 quantitative analysis determined that the fair value of the North America reporting unit exceeded its carrying value of $521 million by 9%. However, the EMEA and Asia Pacific reporting units had fair values that were below their carrying values. We recorded a full impairment to EMEA goodwill of $29 million and a partial impairment of $81 million on the Asia Pacific reporting unit. The goodwill amount, after the impairment charge, that is attributable to the Asia Pacific reporting unit was $140 million as of May 3, 2025. Goodwill is net of accumulated impairment charges of $277 million as of May 3, 2025.
It is possible, depending upon a number of factors that are not determinable at this time or within our control, that the fair value of our reporting units could decrease in the future and result in additional impairments to goodwill. Specifically, actual results may vary from our forecasts and such variations may be material and unfavorable. Additionally, further deterioration or sustained declines in our market capitalization may trigger the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge.
Owned trademarks and trade names that have been determined to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but are reviewed at least annually for potential impairment. Our impairment evaluation for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of either a qualitative or quantitative assessment, similar to the process for goodwill.
Valuation Allowances for Deferred Tax Assets
We record income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. We must assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recoverable based on expected future taxable income. To the extent that we determine it is more-likely-than-not (greater than a 50% probability) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, we must establish a valuation allowance.
To the extent valuation allowances are established or increased in a period, we include an expense within the tax provision in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the first quarter of 2025, we recognized a full valuation allowance of $117 million related our European businesses' net operating loss carryforward and other net deferred tax assets. These valuation allowances may be released in future years when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, we will need to periodically evaluate whether or not all available evidence, such as future income and reversal of temporary differences, tax planning actions, and recent results of operations, provides sufficient positive evidence to offset any other negative evidence that may exist at such time. In the event the deferred tax valuation allowance is released, we would record an income tax benefit for a portion or all of the deferred tax valuation allowance released.

Risks Related to the Pending Acquisition by DICK'S
The announcement and pendency of our agreement to be acquired by DICK'S may have an adverse effect on our business results.
On May 15, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc. ("DICK'S"), pursuant to which DICK'S agreed to acquire us subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. We are subject to risks in connection with the announcement and pendency of the proposed transaction which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results in the near term, including:
| • |
Customers, vendors, suppliers, landlords, and other business partners may delay or defer certain business decisions, seek alternative relationships with third parties or seek to alter their present business relationships with us; | |
| • |
The restrictions imposed on our business and operations pursuant to certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement may prevent us from pursuing certain opportunities, entering into certain contracts with vendors, suppliers and landlords, or taking certain other actions without approval of DICK'S; | |
| • |
We may be unable to attract, recruit, retain and motivate current and prospective employees who may be uncertain about their future roles following completion of the proposed transaction, and our employees could lose productivity as a result of uncertainty regarding their employment following the proposed transaction; | |
| • | The pursuit of the transaction and planning for the integration may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources, and the diversion of management’s attention away from day-to-day business concerns and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results; and | |
| • | The Merger Agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire us for greater consideration than what DICK'S has agreed to pay pursuant to the Merger Agreement. |
The failure to complete the transaction could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and stock price.
The transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2025, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among others, adoption of the Merger Agreement by our shareholders, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, and clearance under the antitrust laws of certain other jurisdictions. There is no assurance that all of the various conditions will be satisfied, or that the transaction will be completed on the proposed terms, within the expected timeframe or at all. The closing of the transaction may be delayed, and the transaction may ultimately not be completed, due to a number of factors, including:
| • |
The failure to satisfy the closing conditions set forth above; | |
| • |
Potential future shareholder litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings, which could delay or prevent the transaction; and | |
| • |
The failure to satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the transaction. |
If the transaction does not close, we may suffer other consequences that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and stock price, and our shareholders would be exposed to additional risks, including:
| • |
To the extent that the current market price of our stock reflects an assumption that the transaction will be completed, the price of our common stock could decrease if the transaction is not completed; | |
| • |
Investor confidence in us could decline, shareholder litigation could be brought against us, relationships with existing and prospective vendors, suppliers, landlords, and other business partners may be adversely impacted, we may be unable to hire or retain key personnel, and our operating results and cash flows may be adversely impacted due to costs incurred in connection with the transaction; | |
| • |
Failure to complete the proposed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community; | |
| • | Any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the transaction, including adverse changes in our relationships with employees, and business partners, may continue or intensify in the event the transaction is not consummated or is significantly delayed; and | |
| • | We would have incurred significant costs, including professional services fees and other transaction costs, in connection with the proposed transaction that we would be unable to recover. |
There can be no assurance that our business, relationships with other parties, liquidity or financial condition will not be adversely affected, as compared to the condition prior to the announcement of the transaction, if the transaction is not consummated.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that cannot be met. Regulatory and governmental entities may impose conditions on the granting of such approvals, and if such regulatory and governmental entities seek to impose such conditions, lengthy negotiations may ensue among such regulatory or governmental entities, DICK'S and us. Such conditions and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying completion of the transaction and such conditions may not be satisfied for an extended period of time.
We cannot assure you that these regulatory clearances and approvals will be obtained in a timely manner or obtained at all, or that the granting of these regulatory clearances and approvals will not involve the imposition of regulatory remedies on the completion of the transaction, including requiring changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement. These conditions or changes could result in the conditions to the closing of the transaction not being satisfied. The special meeting of our shareholders at which the adoption of the Merger Agreement will be considered may take place before all of the required regulatory approvals have been obtained and before regulatory remedies, if any, are known. In this event, if the shareholder approval is obtained, we and DICK'S may subsequently agree to regulatory remedies without further seeking shareholder approval, except as required by applicable law, even if such regulatory remedies could have an adverse effect on us, DICK'S or the combined company.
