TABLE OF CONTENTS

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

The statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans found in “Item 1. Business” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Please also see “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially due to the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Annual Report, including those discussed below. 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.

Our inability to implement our strategic long range plan may adversely affect our future results.

Our ability to successfully implement and execute our long range plan is dependent on many factors. Our strategies may require significant capital investment and management attention, which may result in the diversion of these resources from our core business and other business issues and opportunities. Additionally, any new initiative is subject to certain risks including customer acceptance of our products and renovated store design, competition, product differentiation, and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we cannot successfully execute our strategic growth initiatives or if the long range plan does not adequately address the challenges or opportunities we face, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, failure to meet market expectations, particularly with respect to sales, operating margins, and earnings per share, would likely result in volatility in the market value of our stock.

The retail athletic footwear and apparel business is highly competitive with relatively low barriers to entry.

Our athletic footwear and apparel operations compete primarily with athletic footwear specialty stores, sporting goods stores and superstores, department stores, discount stores, traditional shoe stores, and mass merchandisers, many of which are units of national or regional chains that have significant financial and marketing resources. The principal competitive factors in our markets are selection of merchandise, reputation, store location, price, quality, advertising, and customer service. Our success also depends on our ability to differentiate ourselves from our competitors with respect to shopping convenience, a quality assortment of available merchandise and superior customer service. We cannot assure that we will continue to be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors. Our expansion into markets served by our competitors and entry of new competitors or expansion of existing competitors into our markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although we sell merchandise via the Internet, a significant shift in customer buying patterns to purchasing athletic footwear, athletic apparel, and sporting goods via the Internet could have a material adverse effect on our business results. In addition, all of our significant vendors distribute products directly through the Internet and others may follow. Some vendors operate retail stores and some have indicated that further retail stores and venues will open. Should this continue to occur, and if our customers decide to purchase directly from our vendors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The industry in which we operate is dependent upon fashion trends, customer preferences, product innovations, and other fashion-related factors.

The athletic footwear and apparel industry is subject to changing fashion trends and customer preferences. In addition, retailers in the athletic industry rely on their vendors to maintain innovation in the products they develop. We cannot guarantee that our merchandise selection will accurately reflect customer preferences when it is offered for sale or that we will be able to identify and respond quickly to fashion changes, particularly given the long lead times for ordering much of our merchandise from vendors. A substantial portion of our highest margin sales are to young males (ages 12 – 25), many of whom we believe purchase athletic footwear and athletic and licensed apparel as a fashion statement and are frequent purchasers. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react appropriately in a timely manner to changes in fashion trends that would make athletic footwear or athletic and licensed apparel less attractive to these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we do not successfully manage our inventory levels, our operating results will be adversely affected.

We must maintain sufficient inventory levels to operate our business successfully. However, we also must guard against accumulating excess inventory. For example, we order the bulk of our athletic footwear four to six months prior to delivery to our stores. If we fail to anticipate accurately either the market for the merchandise in our stores or our customers’ purchasing habits, we may be forced to rely on markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of excess or slow moving inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A change in the relationship with any of our key vendors or the unavailability of our key products at competitive prices could affect our financial health.

Our business is dependent to a significant degree upon our ability to obtain exclusive product and the ability to purchase brand-name merchandise at competitive prices from a limited number of vendors. In addition, our vendors provide volume discounts, cooperative advertising, and markdown allowances, as well as the ability to negotiate returns of excess or unneeded merchandise. We cannot be certain that such assistance from our vendors will continue in the future.

The Company purchased approximately 88 percent of its merchandise in 2013 from its top five vendors and expects to continue to obtain a significant percentage of its athletic product from these vendors in future periods. Approximately 68 percent was purchased from one vendor — Nike, Inc. (“Nike”). Each of our operating divisions is highly dependent on Nike; they individually purchased 39 to 80 percent of their merchandise from Nike. Merchandise that is high profile and in high demand is allocated by our vendors based upon their internal criteria. Although we have generally been able to purchase sufficient quantities of this merchandise in the past, we cannot be certain that our vendors will continue to allocate sufficient amounts of such merchandise to us in the future. Our inability to obtain merchandise in a timely manner from major suppliers (particularly Nike) as a result of business decisions by our suppliers or any disruption in the supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Because of our strong dependence on Nike, any adverse development in Nike’s reputation, financial condition or results of operations or the inability of Nike to develop and manufacture products that appeal to our target customers could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We cannot be certain that we will be able to acquire merchandise at competitive prices or on competitive terms in the future. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We depend on mall traffic and our ability to secure suitable store locations.

Our stores are located primarily in enclosed regional and neighborhood malls. Our sales are dependent, in part, on the volume of mall traffic. Mall traffic may be adversely affected by, among other factors, economic downturns, the closing of anchor department stores and/or specialty stores, and a decline in the popularity of mall shopping among our target customers. Further, any terrorist act, natural disaster, or public health or safety concern that decreases the level of mall traffic, or that affects our ability to open and operate stores in affected areas, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

To take advantage of customer traffic and the shopping preferences of our customers, we need to maintain or acquire stores in desirable locations such as in regional and neighborhood malls anchored by major department stores. We cannot be certain that desirable mall locations will continue to be available at favorable rates. Some traditional enclosed malls are experiencing significantly lower levels of customer traffic, driven by the overall poor economic conditions as well as the closure of certain mall anchor tenants.

Several large landlords dominate the ownership of prime malls, particularly in the United States and Canada, and because of our dependence upon these landlords for a substantial number of our locations, any significant erosion of their financial condition or our relationships with these landlords would negatively affect our ability to obtain and retain store locations. Additionally, further landlord consolidation may negatively affect our ability to negotiate favorable lease terms.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may experience fluctuations in and cyclicality of our comparable-store sales results.

Our comparable-store sales have fluctuated significantly in the past, on both an annual and a quarterly basis, and we expect them to continue to fluctuate in the future. A variety of factors affect our comparable-store sales results, including, among others, fashion trends, product innovation, the highly competitive retail sales environment, economic conditions, timing of promotional events, changes in our merchandise mix, calendar shifts of holiday periods, and weather conditions. Many of our products represent discretionary purchases. Accordingly, customer demand for these products could decline in a recession or if our customers develop other priorities for their discretionary spending. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our operations may be adversely affected by economic or political conditions in other countries.

A significant portion of our sales and operating income for 2013 was attributable to our operations in Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. As a result, our business is subject to the risks associated with doing business outside of the United States such as foreign customer preferences, political unrest, disruptions or delays in shipments, changes in economic conditions in countries in which we operate, foreign currency fluctuations, real estate costs, and labor and employment practices in non-U.S. jurisdictions that may differ significantly from those that prevail in the United States. In addition, because we and our suppliers have a substantial amount of our products manufactured in foreign countries, our ability to obtain sufficient quantities of merchandise on favorable terms may be affected by governmental regulations, trade restrictions, and economic, labor, and other conditions in the countries from which our suppliers obtain their product.

Our products are subject to import and excise duties and/or sales or value-added taxes in many jurisdictions. Fluctuations in tax rates and duties and changes in tax legislation or regulation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Fluctuations in the value of the euro may affect the value of our European earnings when translated into U.S. dollars. Although we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and option contracts to reduce the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, our operations may be adversely affected by significant changes in the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

Macroeconomic developments may adversely affect our business.

Our performance is subject to global economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending levels. Continued uncertainty about global economic conditions poses a risk as consumers and businesses postpone spending in response to tighter credit, unemployment, negative financial news, and/or declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on demand for our products.

As a retailer that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Our customers may have less money for discretionary purchases as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, increased fuel and energy costs, higher interest rates, higher taxes, reduced access to credit, and lower home prices. There is also a risk that if negative economic conditions persist for a long period of time or worsen, consumers may make long-lasting reductions to their discretionary purchasing behavior. These and other economic factors could adversely affect demand for our products and services and our financial condition and operating results.

Instability in the financial markets may adversely affect our business.

Past disruptions in the U.S. and global credit and equity markets made it difficult for many businesses to obtain financing on acceptable terms. Although we currently have a revolving credit agreement in place until January 27, 2017, and other than amounts used for standby letters of credit, do not have any borrowings under it, tightening of credit markets could make it more difficult for us to access funds, refinance our existing indebtedness, enter into agreements for new indebtedness or obtain funding through the issuance of the Company’s securities. Additionally, our borrowing costs can be affected by independent rating agencies’ ratings, which are based largely on our performance as measured by credit metrics, including lease-adjusted leverage ratios.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We rely on a few key vendors for a majority of our merchandise purchases (including a significant portion from one key vendor). The inability of key suppliers to access liquidity, or the insolvency of key suppliers, could lead to their failure to deliver merchandise to us. Our inability to obtain merchandise in a timely manner from major suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Material changes in the market value of the securities we hold may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

At February 1, 2014, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $867 million. The majority of our investments were short-term deposits in highly-rated banking institutions. As of February 1, 2014, we had $426 million of cash and cash equivalents held in foreign jurisdictions. We regularly monitor our counterparty credit risk and mitigate our exposure by making short-term investments only in highly-rated institutions and by limiting the amount we invest in any one institution. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties. At February 1, 2014, almost all of the investments were in institutions rated A or better from a major credit rating agency. Despite those ratings, it is possible that the value or liquidity of our investments may decline due to any number of factors, including general market conditions and bank-specific credit issues.

Our U.S. pension plan trust holds assets totaling $575 million at February 1, 2014. The fair values of these assets held in the trust are compared to the plan’s projected benefit obligation to determine the pension funding liability. We attempt to mitigate funding risk through asset diversification, and we regularly monitor investment risk of our portfolio through quarterly investment portfolio reviews and periodic asset and liability studies. Despite these measures, it is possible that the value of our portfolio may decline in the future due to any number of factors, including general market conditions and credit issues. Such declines could have an impact on the funded status of our pension plans and future funding requirements.

If our long-lived assets, goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, we may need to record significant non-cash impairment charges.

We review our long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets when events indicate that the carrying value of such assets may be impaired. Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. As of February 1, 2014, we have $163 million of goodwill; this asset is not amortized but is subject to an impairment test, which consists of either a qualitative assessment on a reporting unit level, or a two-step impairment test, if necessary. The determination of impairment losses are significantly affected by estimates of future operating cash flows and estimates of fair value. Our estimates of future operating cash flows are identified from our strategic long-range plans, which are based upon our experience, knowledge, and expectations; however, these estimates can be affected by such factors as our future operating results, future store profitability, and future economic conditions, all of which can be difficult to predict accurately. Any significant deterioration in macroeconomic conditions could affect the fair value of our long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and could result in future impairment charges, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

Our financial results may be adversely affected by tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities.

We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. Our provision for income taxes is based on a jurisdictional mix of earnings, statutory rates, and enacted tax rules, including transfer pricing. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and in evaluating our tax positions on a worldwide basis. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including shifts in the mix of pretax results by tax jurisdiction, changes in tax laws or related interpretations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and tax assessments and related interest and penalties resulting from income tax audits.

A substantial portion of our cash and investments is invested outside of the U.S. As we plan to permanently reinvest our foreign earnings outside the U.S., in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have not provided for U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes that may result from future remittances of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Recent proposals to reform U.S. tax rules may result in a reduction or elimination of the deferral of U.S. income tax on our foreign earnings, which could adversely affect our effective tax rate. Any of these changes could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The effects of natural disasters, terrorism, acts of war, and public health issues may adversely affect our business.

Natural disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and tornados may affect store and distribution center operations. In addition, acts of terrorism, acts of war, and military action both in the United States and abroad can have a significant effect on economic conditions and may negatively affect our ability to purchase merchandise from vendors for sale to our customers. Public health issues, such as flu or other pandemics, whether occurring in the United States or abroad, could disrupt our operations and result in a significant part of our workforce being unable to operate or maintain our infrastructure or perform other tasks necessary to conduct our business. Additionally, public health issues may disrupt the operations of our suppliers, our operations, our customers, or have an adverse effect on customer demand. Our ability to mitigate the adverse impact of these events depends, in part, upon the effectiveness of our disaster preparedness and response planning as well as business continuity planning. However, we cannot be certain that our plans will be adequate or implemented properly in the event of an actual disaster. We may be required to suspend operations in some or all of our locations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any significant declines in public safety or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that affect customer spending habits could have a material adverse effect on customer purchases of our products.

Manufacturer compliance with our social compliance program requirements.

We require our independent manufacturers to comply with our policies and procedures, which cover many areas including labor, health and safety, and environmental standards. We monitor compliance with our policies and procedures using internal resources, as well as third-party monitoring firms. Although we monitor their compliance with these policies and procedures, we do not control the manufacturers or their practices. Any failure of our independent manufacturers to comply with our policies and procedures or local laws in the country of manufacture could disrupt the shipment of merchandise to us, force us to locate alternate manufacturing sources, reduce demand for our merchandise, or damage our reputation.

Complications in our distribution centers and other factors affecting the distribution of merchandise may affect our business.

We operate six distribution centers worldwide to support our businesses. In addition to the distribution centers that we operate, we have third-party arrangements to support our operations in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. If complications arise with any facility or any facility is severely damaged or destroyed, our other distribution centers may not be able to support the resulting additional distribution demands. This may adversely affect our ability to deliver inventory on a timely basis. We depend upon third-party carriers for shipment of a significant amount of merchandise. An interruption in service by these carriers for any reason could cause temporary disruptions in our business, a loss of sales and profits, and other material adverse effects.

Our freight cost is affected by changes in fuel prices through surcharges. Increases in fuel prices and surcharges and other factors may increase freight costs and thereby increase our cost of sales. We enter into diesel fuel forward and option contracts to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with the variability caused by these surcharges.

Disruptions, failures or security breaches of our information technology infrastructure or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential customer information could harm our business and standing with our customers.

Information technology is a critically important part of our business operations. We depend on information systems to process transactions, manage inventory, operate our websites, purchase, sell and ship goods on a timely basis, and maintain cost-efficient operations. There is a risk that we could experience a business interruption, theft of information, or reputational damage as a result of a cyber-attack, such as an infiltration of a data center, or data leakage of confidential information either internally or at our third-party providers. We may experience operational problems with our information systems as a result of system failures, system implementation issues, viruses, malicious hackers, sabotage, or other causes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our business involves the storage and transmission of customers’ personal information, such as consumer preferences and credit card information. We invest in security technology to protect the Company’s data and business processes against the risk of data security breaches and cyber-attacks. Our data security management program includes enforcement of standard data protection policies such as Payment Card Industry compliance. Additionally, we certify our major technology suppliers and any outsourced services through accepted security certification measures. We maintain and routinely test backup systems and disaster recovery, along with external network security penetration testing by an independent third party as part of our business continuity preparedness.

While we believe that our security technology and processes are adequate in preventing security breaches and in reducing cyber security risks, given the ever-increasing abilities of those intent on breaching cyber security measures and given our reliance on the security and other efforts of third-party vendors, the total security effort at any point in time may not be completely effective, and any such security breaches and cyber incidents could adversely affect our business. Failure of our systems, including failures due to cyber-attacks that would prevent the ability of systems to function as intended, could cause transaction errors, loss of customers and sales, and could have negative consequences to us, our employees, and those with whom we do business. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss, or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information by us could also severely damage our reputation, expose us to the risks of litigation and liability, and harm our business. While we carry insurance that would mitigate the losses to an extent, such insurance may be insufficient to compensate us for potentially significant losses.

Risks associated with digital operations.

Our digital operations are subject to numerous risks, including risks related to the failure of the computer systems that operate our websites and mobile sites and their related support systems, computer viruses, telecommunications failures, and similar disruptions. Also, we may require additional capital in the future to sustain or grow our digital commerce. Business risks related to digital commerce include risks associated with the need to keep pace with rapid technological change, Internet security risks, risks of system failure or inadequacy, governmental regulation, legal uncertainties with respect to the Internet, and collection of sales or other taxes by additional states or foreign jurisdictions. If any of these risks materializes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our reliance on key management.

Future performance will depend upon our ability to attract, retain, and motivate our executive and senior management team. Our executives and senior management team have substantial experience and expertise in our business and have made significant contributions to our growth and success. Our success depends to a significant extent both upon the continued services of our current executive and senior management team, as well as our ability to attract, hire, motivate, and retain additional qualified management in the future. While we feel that we have adequate succession planning and executive development programs, competition for key executives in the retail industry is intense, and our operations could be adversely affected if we cannot retain and attract qualified executives.

Risks associated with attracting and retaining store and field associates.

Many of the store and field associates are in entry level or part-time positions with historically high rates of turnover. If we are unable to attract and retain quality associates, our ability to meet our growth goals or to sustain expected levels of profitability may be compromised. Our ability to meet our labor needs while controlling costs is subject to external factors such as unemployment levels, prevailing wage rates, minimum wage legislation, overtime regulations, and changing demographics. In addition, a large number of our retail employees are paid the prevailing minimum wage which, if increased, would negatively affect our profitability.

We face risks arising from recent activity by the National Labor Relations Board in the United States.

The National Labor Relations Board continually considers changes to labor regulations, many of which could significantly affect the nature of labor relations in the U.S. and how union elections and contract negotiations are conducted. In 2011, the National Labor Relations Board’s definition of a bargaining unit changed, making it possible for smaller groups of employees to organize labor unions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Furthermore, recent proposed regulations may streamline the election process, shortening the time between the filing of a petition and an election being held. These regulations and recent decisions could impose more labor relations requirements and union activity on our business conducted in the United States, thereby potentially increasing our costs, which could negatively affect our profitability.

Health care reform could adversely affect our business.

In 2010, Congress enacted comprehensive health care reform legislation which, among other things, includes guaranteed coverage requirements, eliminates pre-existing condition exclusions and annual and lifetime maximum limits, restricts the extent to which policies can be rescinded, and imposes new and significant taxes on health insurers and health care benefits. Due to the breadth and complexity of the health reform legislation and the large number of eligible employees who currently choose not to participate in our plans, it is difficult to predict the overall effect of the statute and related regulations on our business over the coming years. Due to the health care law changes some eligible employees who had historically not chosen to participate in our health care plans have found it more advantageous to participate in our plans effective January 1, 2014. Such changes include tax penalties to persons for not obtaining healthcare coverage and being ineligible for certain health care subsidies if an employee is eligible for health care coverage under an employer’s plan. If a larger number of current eligible employees, who currently choose not to participate in our plans, choose to enroll over the next few years it may significantly increase our health care coverage costs and negatively affect our financial results.

Legislative or regulatory initiatives related to global warming/climate change concerns may negatively affect our business.

There has been an increasing focus and significant debate on global climate change recently, including increased attention from regulatory agencies and legislative bodies. This increased focus may lead to new initiatives directed at regulating an as-yet unspecified array of environmental matters. Legislative, regulatory, or other efforts in the United States to combat climate change could result in future increases in taxes or in the cost of transportation and utilities, which could decrease our operating profits and could necessitate future additional investments in facilities and equipment. We are unable to predict the potential effects that any such future environmental initiatives may have on our business.

We may be adversely affected by regulatory and litigation developments.

We are exposed to the risk that federal or state legislation may negatively impact our operations. Changes in federal or state wage requirements, employee rights, health care, social welfare or entitlement programs such as health insurance, paid leave programs, or other changes in workplace regulation could increase our cost of doing business or otherwise adversely affect our operations. Additionally, we are regularly involved in various litigation matters, including class actions and patent infringement claims, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Litigation or regulatory developments could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance.

We operate in many different jurisdictions and we could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws, including the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010, which is broader in scope than the FCPA, generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our internal policies mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws. Despite our training and compliance programs, we cannot be assured that our internal control policies and procedures will always protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents.

Our continued expansion outside the U.S., including in developing countries, could increase the risk of such violations in the future.

The properties of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries consist of land, leased stores, administrative facilities, and distribution centers. Gross square footage and total selling area for the Athletic Stores segment at the end of 2013 were approximately 12.71 and 7.47 million square feet, respectively. These properties, which are primarily leased, are located in the United States, Canada, various European countries, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Company currently operates six distribution centers, of which three are owned and three are leased, occupying an aggregate of 2.6 million square feet.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In the following tables, the Company has presented certain financial measures and ratios identified as non-GAAP. The Company believes this non-GAAP information is a useful measure to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance for 2013 as compared with prior years and is useful in assessing the Company’s progress in achieving its long-term financial objectives. The 2013 results represent the 52 weeks ended February 1, 2014 as compared with 53 weeks in 2012, and 52 weeks in the 2011 reporting year.

The Company estimates the tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments by applying its marginal tax rate to each of the respective items.

During 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded benefits of $3 million and $9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share and $0.06 per diluted share, respectively, to reflect the settlement of foreign tax audits, which resulted in a reduction in tax reserves established in prior periods. Additionally in 2012, the Company recorded a benefit of $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, to reflect the repeal of the last two stages of certain Canadian provincial tax rate changes.

When assessing Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”), the Company adjusts its results to reflect its operating leases as if they qualified for capital lease treatment. Operating leases are the primary financing vehicle used to fund store expansion and, therefore, we believe that the presentation of these leases as if they were capital leases is appropriate. Accordingly, the asset base and net income amounts are adjusted to reflect this in the calculation of ROIC. ROIC, subject to certain adjustments, is also used as a measure in executive long-term incentive compensation.

The closest GAAP measure is Return on Assets (“ROA”) and is also represented below. ROA increased to 12.5 percent as compared with 12.4 percent in the prior year reflecting the Company’s overall performance in 2013. Our ROIC decreased slightly as compared with the prior year due to an increase in our average invested capital primarily as a result of the inclusion of Runners Point Group during the second quarter of 2013. This was partly offset by an increase in our earnings before interest and income taxes.

		2013				2012				2011
ROA(1)			12.5	%			12.4	%			9.4	%

Sales

All references to comparable-store sales for a given period relate to sales of stores that are open at the period-end and have been open for more than one year. The computation of comparable-store sales also includes the sales of the Direct-to-Customers segment. 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 effects of foreign currency fluctuations.

Sales from acquired businesses that include inventory are included in the computation of comparable-store sales after 15 months of operations. Accordingly, sales of Runners Point Group have been excluded from the computation of comparable-store sales. Runners Point Group sales will be included in the computation beginning in October 2014.

Sales of $6,505 million in 2013 increased by 5.2 percent from sales of $6,182 million in 2012, this represented a comparable-store sales increase of 4.2 percent. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations and sales of Runners Point Group, sales increased 2.4 percent as compared with the 53 weeks of 2012. Results for 2012 include the effect of the 53^rd week, which represented sales of $81 million. Overall in 2013, footwear sales and apparel and accessories sales represented 77 percent and 23 percent of total sales, respectively.

Sales in 2012 increased to $6,182 million, or by 9.9 percent as compared with 2011. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, sales increased 11.4 percent as compared with 2011. Comparable-store sales increased by 9.4 percent. This increase primarily reflected higher footwear sales, which represented approximately 76 percent of sales. Apparel and accessories sales, also increased during 2012 and represented 24 percent of total sales.

Gross Margin

		2013				2012				2011
Gross margin rate			32.8	%			32.9	%			31.9	%

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 32.8 percent in 2013, representing a decrease of 10 basis points as compared with the prior year. The decrease in the gross margin rate included an increase in the cost of merchandise of 10 basis points. Occupancy and buyers’ compensation expense rate remained unchanged, as a percentage of sales, as compared with the 53 weeks of 2012. The decline in the merchandise margin rate primarily reflects the effect of lower initial markups. Vendor allowances had no effect on the gross margin rate, as compared with the prior year. Excluding the effect of the 53^rd week in 2012, the gross margin rate was flat as compared with the prior year.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 32.9 percent in 2012, representing an increase of 100 basis points as compared with the prior year. The increase in the gross margin rate included a decrease of 110 basis points in the occupancy and buyers’ compensation expense rate reflecting improved leverage on largely fixed costs, offset by an increase in the cost of merchandise of 10 basis points. The decline in the merchandise margin rate primarily reflected the effect of lower initial markups, higher markdowns in Europe, and the effect of lower shipping and handling income. The markdowns in Europe were necessary to ensure that merchandise inventories remained current and in line with sales trend. The Direct-to-Customers segment continued to provide free

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shipping offers to remain competitive with other Internet retailers. Vendor allowances had no effect on the gross margin rate, as compared with the prior year. Excluding the effect of the 53^rd week in 2012, gross margin increased by 90 basis points as compared with 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

		2013				2012				2011
SG&A as a percentage of sales			20.5	%			20.9	%			22.1	%

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $40 million, or 3.1 percent, to $1,334 million in 2013, as compared with 2012. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, SG&A increased by $34 million. Runners Point Group, which was acquired in early July 2013, represented an incremental $45 million in expenses. Additionally, the Company incurred $6 million in integration and acquisition costs during 2013. Excluding foreign currency fluctuations, the effect of the recent acquisition, and the effect of the 53^rd week in 2012, SG&A decreased by $4 million. The decrease reflects effective expense management, specifically variable costs.

SG&A expenses increased by $50 million, or 4.0 percent, to $1,294 million in 2012, as compared with 2011. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, SG&A increased by $69 million. This increase reflects the effect of the 53^rd week, which contributed $13 million in additional expenses, as well as higher variable expenses to support sales, such as store wages and banking expenses. The Company also increased its marketing and advertising spending by $8 million during 2012 in order to support the Company’s strategic objective of differentiating its formats.

Depreciation and Amortization

		2013				2012				2011
Percentage increase			12.7	%			7.3	%			3.8	%

The increases in both 2013 and 2012 reflect increased capital spending on store improvements and technology. In addition, the increase in the current year reflects the inclusion of depreciation and amortization relating to the Runners Point Group of $6 million. The effect of foreign currency fluctuations was not significant for 2013.

Interest Expense, Net

		2013				2012				2011
		(in millions)
Interest expense		$	11			$	11			$	13
Interest income			(6	)			(6	)			(7	)
Interest expense, net		$	5			$	5			$	6
Weighted-average interest rate (excluding fees)			7.1	%			7.6	%			7.6	%

Net interest expense in 2013 was essentially unchanged from the prior year. The overall reduction in net interest expense in 2012 as compared with 2011 primarily reflected lower expenses associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility, which was amended at the end of 2011 with lower annual fees.

The Company did not have any short-term borrowings, other than amounts outstanding in connection with capital leases, for any of the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for 2013 was 35.3 percent, as compared with 34.6 percent in 2012. The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of the provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits may be adjusted as a result of 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. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company settled a foreign tax audit resulting in a reserve release of $3 million. The effective tax rate for 2013 also includes other reserve releases totaling $3 million due to audit settlements and lapses of statutes of limitations. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of Runners Point

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Group, the Company recorded a tax expense of $1 million related to non-deductible acquisition costs. Excluding these items as well as the reserve releases in 2012, the effective tax rate for 2013 decreased as compared with 2012 primarily due to the effect of full implementation of international tax planning initiatives in 2013.

The effective tax rate for 2012 was 34.6 percent, as compared with 36.0 percent in 2011. The effective tax rate for 2012 includes reserve releases of $13 million due to foreign and domestic audit settlements and lapses of statute of limitations. Additionally, included in 2012 are one time benefits totaling $4 million, representing foreign tax law changes of $2 million, additional U.S. tax credits of $1 million, and a $1 million benefit related to a Canadian provincial tax rate change that increased the value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The 2011 effective rate included a benefit of $3 million from reserve releases as well as other true-up adjustments. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate increased primarily due to the higher proportion of income earned in higher tax jurisdictions in 2012.

Segment Information

The Company’s two reportable segments, Athletic Stores and Direct-to-Customers, are based on its method of internal reporting. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, the primary financial measure of which is division results. Division profit reflects income before income taxes, corporate expense, non-operating income, and net interest expense.

2013 compared with 2012

Athletic Stores sales were $5,790 million in 2013, an increase of 4.0 percent as compared with the prior year. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the euro, sales from the Athletic Stores segment increased by 3.7 percent in 2013. Comparable-store sales increased by 3.0 percent. The Athletic Stores segment includes $146 million of sales related to the Runners Point stores, which was acquired in early July 2013. Excluding the sales of the Runners Point stores, the increase was primarily driven by Kids Foot Locker, Foot Locker Europe, and domestic Foot Locker. Kids Foot Locker and Foot Locker Europe increased their store count by 31 and 14 stores, respectively, during 2013. The increase in these banners was partially offset by sales declines in Lady Foot Locker, Footaction, and Champs Sports. Lady Foot Locker’s sales declined in 2013 as management continues to close underperforming stores and redefine the product offerings. Lady Foot Locker’s store count declined by 46 stores during 2013. Test locations, including SIX:02 stores, are performing better than the balance of the chain and continue to be evaluated. Various initiatives are being implemented including the recent launch of the SIX:02 e-commerce website, in order to optimize performance before a roll-out strategy is determined. On a comparable-store sales basis, Footaction reported a modest increase for the year. Comparable-store sales for Champs Sports were negatively affected, in part, by the level of store remodel projects, which require temporary store closure during remodel.

Within the Athletic Stores segment footwear was the biggest driver, led by our children’s category, which had strong gains across all banners. Footwear sales increased in our largest category, basketball, which benefited from key marquee player shoes. The segment is also benefiting from the continued expansion of the shop-in-shop partnerships with our various vendors.

Athletic Stores reported a division profit of $656 million in 2013 as compared with $653 million in 2012, an increase of $3 million. Included in the 2013 results are costs of $2 million associated with the closure of the CCS stores. While the results of the Runners Point stores were accretive during the period, it was not significant. Additionally, the 2013 results reflect the reallocation of corporate expense to this segment, discussed more fully below. Excluding these items, division profit margin for 2013 would have been essentially unchanged.

2012 compared with 2011

Athletic Stores sales of $5,568 million increased 9.0 percent in 2012. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, primarily related to the euro, sales from the Athletic Stores segment increased by 10.6 percent in 2012. Comparable-store sales increased by 8.5 percent. Most divisions within this segment experienced strong increases as compared with the prior year, led by Champs Sports and domestic Foot Locker. Foot Locker Europe had a modest comparable-store sales decline for the year reflecting the macroeconomic conditions in that region. Lady Foot Locker’s sales declined in 2012 reflecting losses from certain classic and lifestyle footwear, partially offset by an increase in performance footwear. Additionally, Lady Foot Locker operated 29 fewer stores as management has continued to focus on closing underperforming stores. Comparable-store sales for the division were down slightly for the year. During 2012, the Company introduced a new banner, SIX:02, an elevated retail concept featuring top brands in fitness apparel and athletic footwear for women. The Company opened 3 SIX:02 stores during the fourth quarter of 2012. In total, all categories, footwear, apparel and accessories, increased during 2012. Within the footwear category, the highest percentage increase came from our children’s category, which had strong gains across all banners, supported by the “Go Big” marketing campaign in Kids Foot Locker. Footwear sales increased in our largest category, basketball, which benefited from key marquee player shoes. Despite the overall decline in Lady Foot Locker sales, our overall women’s business modestly increased, as some of those customers found appealing product in our other banners. Apparel sales reflected strength in domestic sales, partially offset by a slight decline in Europe’s apparel sales.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Athletic Stores reported a division profit of $653 million in 2012 as compared with $495 million in 2011, an increase of $158 million. During the fourth quarter of 2012 an impairment charge of $5 million was recorded to write down long-lived assets of the CCS stores as a result of the Company’s decision to close these stores. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively affected division profit by approximately $9 million as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. Division profit increased primarily as a result of strong sales and an improved gross margin rate driven by improved leverage of the fixed expenses within gross margin, contributing to an overall profit flow-through of 34.5 percent.

Direct-to-Customers

		2013				2012				2011

Division profit		$	84			$	65			$	45
Division profit margin			11.7	%			10.6	%			8.8	%

2013 compared with 2012

Direct-to-Customers sales increased 16.4 percent to $715 million in 2013, as compared with $614 million in 2012. Comparable sales increased 14.8 percent from the prior year. The Direct-to-Customers segment includes $18 million of sales related to the e-commerce division of Runners Point Group, which the Company acquired during the second quarter of 2013. Excluding these sales, the increase was primarily a result of continued strong sales performance related to the Company’s store-banner websites, as well as increased Eastbay sales. Of the total increase, sales from our store-banner websites comprised approximately three quarters of the increase reflecting success of several initiatives, including improving the connectivity of the store banners to the e-commerce sites, investments in technology to improve the shopping experience, and investments in making the sites more engaging. These increases were offset, in part, by a further decline in the CCS business.

The Direct-to-Customers business generated division profit of $84 million in 2013, as compared with $65 million in 2012. Division profit, as a percentage of sales, was 11.7 percent in 2013 and 10.6 percent in 2012. The 2013 results reflect the reallocation of corporate expense, discussed more fully below. Excluding this change division profit margin would have been 12.3 percent. During 2012, an impairment charge of $7 million was recorded to write down CCS intangible assets. Excluding these items, division profit increased by $17 million. The effect of the acquisition was not significant to this segment’s division profit.

2012 compared with 2011

Direct-to-Customers sales increased 19.7 percent to $614 million in 2012, as compared with $513 million in 2011. On a comparable 52 week basis, sales increased 17.7 percent. The increase was primarily a result of continued strong sales performance for the Company’s store-banner websites, as well as increased Eastbay sales. Of the total increase, sales from our store-banner websites comprised approximately 60 percent of the increase. This improvement reflected further investment in our websites in order to provide excellent service in our digital channels, including easy navigation, timely shipping, helpful call center assistance, and entertaining and engaging content.

The Direct-to-Customers business generated division profit of $65 million in 2012, as compared with $45 million in 2011. Division profit, as a percentage of sales, was 10.6 percent in 2012 and 8.8 percent in 2011. During the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011, impairment charges of $7 million and $5 million, respectively, were recorded to write down CCS intangible assets, specifically the non-amortizing tradename. The 2012 impairment was primarily the result of continued reductions in revenue projections, coupled with a decrease in the assumed royalty rate as a result of lower profitability. Excluding the impairment charges in each of the periods, division profit increased by $22 million reflecting the strong sales performance and a lower expense rate.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense consists of unallocated general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortization related to the Company’s corporate headquarters, centrally managed departments, unallocated

TABLE OF CONTENTS

insurance and benefit programs, certain foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, and other items. Depreciation and amortization included in corporate expense was $12 million, $13 million, and $11 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Corporate expense decreased by $32 million to $76 million in 2013, as compared with 2012. Based upon an internal study of corporate expense, the allocation of such expenses to the operating divisions was increased thereby reducing corporate expense by $27 million for 2013. In addition, incentive compensation decreased $11 million and legal expenses decreased by $4 million as 2012 reflected a litigation charge. Additionally, as noted above depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1 million. These decreases were partially offset by $6 million of costs related to the Company’s acquisition and integration of Runners Point Group as well as an increase of $5 million for share-based compensation expense.

Corporate expense increased by $6 million to $108 million in 2012, as compared with 2011. The increase represents increased depreciation and amortization of $2 million, $2 million of increased share-based compensation expense, and a charge of $4 million related to litigation, offset, in part, by expense savings in other corporate areas. The effect of the 53^rd week on corporate expense was not significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Company’s 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, and other support facilities; make retirement plan contributions, quarterly dividend payments, and interest payments; and fund other cash requirements to support the development of its short-term and long-term operating strategies. The Company generally finances real estate with operating leases. Management believes its cash, cash equivalents, and future cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund these requirements.

As of February 1, 2014, the Company had $426 million of cash and cash equivalents held in foreign jurisdictions. Because we plan to permanently reinvest our foreign earnings, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have not provided for U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes that may result from potential future remittances of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Depending on the source, amount, and timing of a repatriation, some tax may be payable. The Company believes that its cash invested domestically and future domestic cash flows are sufficient to satisfy domestic requirements.

The Company may also from time to time repurchase its common stock or seek to retire or purchase outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On February 20, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a new 3-year, $600 million share repurchase program extending through January 2016, replacing the Company’s previous $400 million program which terminated on that date. As of February 1, 2014, approximately $371 million is remaining on this program.

Any material adverse change in customer demand, fashion trends, competitive market forces, or customer acceptance of the Company’s merchandise mix and retail locations, uncertainties related to the effect of competitive products and pricing, the Company’s reliance on a few key vendors for a significant portion of its 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 heading “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” could affect the ability of the Company to continue to fund its needs from business operations.

Maintaining access to merchandise that the Company considers appropriate for its business may be subject to the policies and practices of its key vendors. Therefore, the Company believes that it is critical to continue to maintain satisfactory relationships with its key vendors. In 2013 and 2012, the Company purchased approximately 88 percent and 86 percent, respectively, of its merchandise from its top five vendors and expects to continue to obtain a significant percentage of its athletic product from these vendors in future periods. Approximately 68 percent in 2013 and 65 percent in 2012 was purchased from one vendor — Nike, Inc.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company’s 2014 planned capital expenditures and lease acquisition costs are approximately $220 million. Planned capital expenditures are $219 million and planned lease acquisition costs related to the Company’s operations in Europe are $1 million. The Company’s planned capital expenditures include $181 million related to modernizations of existing stores and the planned opening of 62 new stores, as well as $38 million for the development of information systems and infrastructure. The Company has the ability to revise and reschedule much of the anticipated capital expenditure program, should the Company’s financial position require it.

Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measure)

In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, the Company uses free cash flow as a useful measure of performance and as an indication of the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). The Company believes the presentation of free cash flow is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from the Company’s underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management.

Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s net cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to free cash flow.

		2013				2012				2011
		(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities		$	530			$	416			$	497
Capital expenditures			(206	)			(163	)			(152	)
Free cash flow (non-GAAP)		$	324			$	253			$	345

Operating Activities

Operating activities provided cash of $530 million in 2013, compared with $416 million in 2012. These amounts reflect income adjusted for non-cash items and working capital changes. The improvement represents the Company’s earnings strength. During 2013, the Company contributed $2 million to its Canadian qualified pension plans as compared with $25 million and $1 million contributed to the U.S. and Canadian plans, respectively, in 2012. Cash paid for income taxes was $175 million for 2013 as compared with $230 million for 2012.

Operating activities provided cash of $416 million in 2012, compared with $497 million in 2011. Non-cash impairment and other charges were $12 million and $5 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. These impairment charges were related to the CCS business. During 2012, the Company contributed $26 million to its U.S. and Canadian qualified pension plans as compared with $28 million contributed in 2011. The increase in merchandise inventories for 2012 of $91 million was due to the shift caused by the 53^rd week, which was planned in order to support sales for February, which is typically a strong period.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $248 million in 2013 as compared with $212 million in 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed its purchase of Runners Point Group for $81 million, net of cash acquired. Capital expenditures in 2013 were $206 million, primarily related to the remodeling of 320 stores, the build-out of 84 new stores, and various corporate technology upgrades, representing an increase of $43 million as compared with the prior year. These increases were partially offset by net sales and maturities of $37 million of short-term investments during 2013.

Net cash used in investing activities was $212 million in 2012 as compared with $149 million in 2011. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s net purchases of $49 million of short-term investments as well as higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $163 million, primarily related to the remodeling of 198 stores,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the build-out of 85 new stores, and various corporate technology upgrades and e-commerce website enhancements, representing an increase of $11 million as compared with the prior year.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $309 million in 2013 as compared with $181 million in 2012. During 2013, the Company repurchased 6,424,286 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program for $229 million. Additionally, the Company declared and paid dividends totaling $118 million and $109 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a quarterly rate of $0.20 and $0.18 per share in 2013 and 2012, respectively. During 2013 and 2012, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of common stock and treasury stock in connection with the employee stock programs of $30 million and $48 million, respectively. In connection with stock option exercises, the Company recorded excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation of $9 million and $11 million for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities was $181 million in 2012 as compared with $178 million in 2011. During 2012, the Company repurchased 4,000,161 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program for $129 million. Additionally, the Company declared and paid dividends totaling $109 million and $101 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing a quarterly rate of $0.18 and $0.165 per share in 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2012 and 2011, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of common stock and treasury stock in connection with the employee stock programs of $48 million and $22 million, respectively. In connection with stock option exercises, the Company recorded excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation of $11 million and $5 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Capital Structure

On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2011 Restated Credit Agreement”) with its banks. The 2011 Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $200 million asset based revolving credit facility maturing on January 27, 2017. In addition, during the term of the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement, the Company may make up to four requests for additional credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million. Interest is based on the LIBOR rate in effect at the time of the borrowing plus a 1.25 to 1.50 percent margin depending on certain provisions as defined in the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement. The 2011 Restated Credit Agreement provides for a security interest in certain of the Company’s domestic assets, including certain inventory assets, but excluding intellectual property. The Company is not required to comply with any financial covenants as long as there are no outstanding borrowings. With regard to the payment of dividends and share repurchases, there are no restrictions if the Company is not borrowing and the payments are funded through cash on hand. If the Company is borrowing, Availability as of the end of each fiscal month during the subsequent projected six fiscal months following the payment must be at least 20 percent of the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base (all terms as defined in the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement). The Company’s management does not currently expect to borrow under the facility in 2014, other than amounts used to support standby letters of credit.

Credit Rating

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s corporate credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service are BB+ and Ba2, respectively. In addition, Moody’s Investors Service has rated the Company’s senior unsecured notes Ba3.

Debt Capitalization and Equity (non-GAAP Measure)

For purposes of calculating debt to total capitalization, the Company includes the present value of operating lease commitments in total net debt. Total net debt including the present value of operating leases is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. The present value of operating leases is discounted using various interest rates ranging from 2.8 percent to 14.5 percent, which represent the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at inception of the lease.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Operating leases are the primary financing vehicle used to fund store expansion and, therefore, we believe that the inclusion of the present value of operating leases in total debt is useful to our investors, credit constituencies, and rating agencies.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s capitalization, both with and without the present value of operating leases:

		2013				2012
		(in millions)
Long-term debt and obligations under capital leases		$	139			$	133
Present value of operating leases			2,571				2,202

Total net debt capitalization percent			—%				—	%
Total net debt capitalization percent including the present value of operating leases (non-GAAP)			42.5	%			37.2	%

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased by $61 million during 2013, representing the acquisition of the Runners Point Group offset in large part by the result of strong cash flow generation from operating activities.

Including the present value of operating leases, the Company’s net debt capitalization percent increased 530 basis points in 2013. The change in total debt including the present value of the operating leases, as compared with the prior-year period, primarily reflects the acquisition of Runners Point Group and their associated lease liabilities, the effect of lease renewals, and the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, offset in part by store closures.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following tables represent the scheduled maturities of the Company’s contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments at February 1, 2014:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing (other than operating leases entered into in the normal course of business as disclosed above) or unconsolidated special purpose entities. The Company does not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities. The Company’s policy prohibits the use of derivatives for which there is no underlying exposure.

In connection with the sale of various businesses and assets, the Company may be obligated for certain lease commitments transferred to third parties and pursuant to certain normal representations, warranties, or indemnifications entered into with the purchasers of such businesses or assets. Although the maximum potential amounts for such obligations cannot be readily determined, management believes that the resolution of such contingencies will not significantly affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. The Company is also operating certain stores for which lease agreements are in the process of being negotiated with landlords. Although there is no contractual commitment to make these payments, it is likely that leases will be executed.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s responsibility for integrity and objectivity in the preparation and presentation of the Company’s financial statements requires diligent application of appropriate accounting policies. Generally, the Company’s accounting policies and methods are those specifically required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Included in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies note in “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” is a summary of the Company’s most significant accounting policies. In some cases, management is required to calculate amounts based on estimates for matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company believes the following to be the most critical of those accounting policies that necessitate subjective judgments.

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for acquisitions by recording the net assets of acquired businesses at fair value, and making estimates and assumptions to determine the fair value of these acquired assets and liabilities. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired businesses based, in part, upon internal estimates of cash flows and considering the report of a third-party valuation expert retained to assist the Company. Changes to the assumptions used to estimate the fair value could affect the recorded amounts of the assets acquired and the resultant goodwill.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories for the Company’s Athletic Stores are valued at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method (“RIM”). The RIM is commonly used by retail companies to value inventories at cost and calculate gross margins due to its practicality. Under the retail method, cost is determined by applying a cost-to-retail percentage across groupings of similar items, known as departments. The cost-to-retail percentage is applied to ending inventory at its current owned retail valuation to determine the cost of ending inventory on a department basis. The RIM is a system of averages that requires management’s estimates and assumptions regarding markups, markdowns and shrink, among others, and as such, could result in distortions of inventory amounts.

Significant judgment is required for these estimates and assumptions, as well as to differentiate between promotional and other markdowns that may be required to correctly reflect merchandise inventories at the lower of cost or market. The Company provides reserves based on current selling prices when the inventory has not been marked down to market. The failure to take permanent markdowns on a timely basis may result in an overstatement of cost under the retail inventory method. The decision to take permanent markdowns includes many factors, including the current environment, inventory levels, and the age of the item. Management believes this method and its related assumptions, which have been consistently applied, to be reasonable.

Vendor Reimbursements

In the normal course of business, the Company receives allowances from its vendors for markdowns taken. Vendor allowances are recognized as a reduction in cost of sales in the period in which the markdowns are taken. Vendor allowances contributed 20 basis points to the 2013 gross margin rate. The Company also has volume-related agreements with certain vendors, under which it receives rebates based on fixed percentages of cost purchases. These volume-related rebates are recorded in cost of sales when the product is sold and were not significant to the 2013 gross margin rate.

The Company receives support from some of its vendors in the form of reimbursements for cooperative advertising and catalog costs for the launch and promotion of certain products. The reimbursements are agreed upon with vendors for specific advertising campaigns and catalogs. Cooperative income, to the extent that it reimburses specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to date, is recorded in SG&A in the same period as the associated expenses are incurred. Cooperative reimbursements amounted to approximately 18 percent and 14 percent of total advertising and catalog costs, respectively, in 2013. Reimbursements received that are in excess of specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to date are recognized as a reduction to the cost of merchandise and are reflected in cost of sales as the merchandise is sold. Such amounts were not significant in 2013.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company performs an impairment review when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating performance criteria at the division level as well as qualitative measures. If an analysis is necessitated by the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company uses assumptions, which are predominately identified from the Company’s strategic long-range plans, in determining in performing an impairment review. In the calculation of the fair value of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with its estimated fair value. The estimation of fair value is measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. Management believes its policy is reasonable and is consistently applied. Future expected cash flows are based upon estimates that, if not achieved, may result in significantly different results.

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually during the first quarter of its fiscal year or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. 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 two-step impairment test, if necessary. In performing the qualitative assessment, we consider many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including

TABLE OF CONTENTS

declines in 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 using a two-step test. The initial step requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. The second step — to evaluate goodwill of a reporting unit for impairment — is only required if the carrying value of that reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company used a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and market-based approach to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, earnings before depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures forecasts. The market approach requires judgment and uses one or more methods to compare the reporting unit with similar businesses, business ownership interests, or securities that have been sold. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. We performed our annual goodwill impairment assessments during 2013, using a qualitative approach. Based on the results of the impairment assessments performed, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and there are no reporting units at risk of impairment.

Owned trademarks and tradenames that have been determined to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but are reviewed at least annually for potential impairment. The fair values of purchased intangible assets are estimated and compared to their carrying values. We estimate the fair value of these intangible assets based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. This methodology assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of these types of assets. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and trends, royalty rates in the category of intellectual property, discount rates, and other variables. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. We recognize an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than the carrying value. The Company’s review did not result in any impairment charges for the year ended February 1, 2014.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company estimates the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term of options granted is estimated using historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination patterns, which the Company believes are representative of future behavior. Changing the expected term by one year changes the fair value by 6 to 8 percent depending if the change was an increase or decrease to the expected term. The Company estimates the expected volatility of its common stock at the grant date using a weighted-average of the Company’s historical volatility and implied volatility from traded options on the Company’s common stock. A 50 basis point change in volatility would have a 1 percent change to the fair value. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the Federal Reserve nominal rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The expected dividend yield is derived from the Company’s historical experience. A 50 basis point change to the dividend yield would change the fair value by approximately 5 percent. Share-based compensation expense is recorded for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on its historical pre-vesting forfeiture data, which it believes are representative of future behavior, and periodically will revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model requires the use of subjective assumptions. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options.

Pension and Postretirement Liabilities

The Company determines its obligations for pension and postretirement liabilities based upon assumptions related to discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on invested plan assets, salary increases, age, and mortality, among others. Management reviews all assumptions annually with its independent actuaries, taking into consideration existing and future economic conditions and the Company’s intentions with regard to the plans.

Long-Term Rate of Return Assumption — The expected rate of return on plan assets is the long-term rate of return expected to be earned on the plans’ assets and is recognized as a component of pension expense. The rate is based on the plans’ weighted-average target asset allocation, as well as historical and future expected

TABLE OF CONTENTS

performance of those assets. The target asset allocation is selected to obtain an investment return that is sufficient to cover the expected benefit payments and to reduce future contributions by the Company. The expected rate of return on plan assets is reviewed annually and revised, as necessary, to reflect changes in the financial markets and our investment strategy. The weighted-average long-term rate of return used to determine 2013 pension expense was 6.24 percent.

A decrease of 50 basis points in the weighted-average expected long-term rate of return would have increased 2013 pension expense by approximately $3 million. The actual return on plan assets in a given year typically differs from the expected long-term rate of return, and the resulting gain or loss is deferred and amortized into expense over the average life expectancy of its inactive participants.

Discount Rate — An assumed discount rate is used to measure the present value of future cash flow obligations of the plans and the interest cost component of pension expense and postretirement income. The cash flows are then discounted to their present value and an overall discount rate is determined. In 2011, the Company changed how the discount rate was selected to measure the present value of U.S. benefit obligations from the Citibank Pension Discount curve to Towers Watson’s Bond:Link model. The current discount rate is determined by reference to the Bond:Link interest rate model based upon a portfolio of highly rated U.S. corporate bonds with individual bonds that are theoretically purchased to settle the plan’s anticipated cash outflows. The discount rate selected to measure the present value of the Company’s Canadian benefit obligations was developed by using the plan’s bond portfolio indices, which match the benefit obligations. The weighted-average discount rates used to determine the 2013 benefit obligations related to the Company’s pension and postretirement plans were 4.32 percent and 4.20 percent, respectively.

Changing the weighted-average discount rate by 50 basis points would have changed the accumulated benefit obligation of the pension plans at February 1, 2014 by approximately $30 million and $33 million, depending on if the change was an increase or decrease, respectively. A decrease of 50 basis points in the weighted-average discount rate would have increased the accumulated benefit obligation on the postretirement plan by approximately $1 million. Such a decrease would not have significantly changed 2013 pension expense or postretirement income.

Trend Rate — The Company maintains two postretirement medical plans, one covering certain executive officers and key employees of the Company (“SERP Medical Plan”), and the other covering all other associates. With respect to the SERP Medical Plan, a one percent change in the assumed health care cost trend rate would change this plan’s accumulated benefit obligation by approximately $2 million. With respect to the postretirement medical plan covering all other associates, there is limited risk to the Company for increases in health care costs since, beginning in 2001, new retirees have assumed the full expected costs and then-existing retirees have assumed all increases in such costs.

The Company expects to record postretirement income of approximately $2 million and pension expense of approximately $20 million in 2014.

Income Taxes

In accordance with GAAP, deferred tax assets are recognized for tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards, reduced by a valuation allowance, which is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management is required to estimate taxable income for future years by taxing jurisdiction and to use its judgment to determine whether or not to record a valuation allowance for part or all of a deferred tax asset. Estimates of taxable income are based upon the Company’s strategic long-range plans. A one percent change in the Company’s overall statutory tax rate for 2013 would have resulted in a $5 million change in the carrying value of the net deferred tax asset and a corresponding charge or credit to income tax expense depending on whether the tax rate change was a decrease or an increase.

The Company has operations in multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. Tax audits by their nature are often complex and can require several years to resolve. Accruals of tax contingencies require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of tax audits. Actual results could vary from these estimates.

The Company expects its 2014 effective tax rate to approximate 36.5 percent, excluding the effect of any nonrecurring items that may occur. The actual rate will vary depending primarily on the percentage of the Company’s income earned in the United States as compared with its international operations.
