Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and theThe City Gear tradename areis an indefinite-lived assetsasset which areis not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis if events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset is impaired. Such events or circumstances could include, but are not limited to, significant negative industry or economic trends, unanticipated changes in the competitive environment and a significant sustained decline in the market price of our stock. If an asset is impaired, the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recorded as an impairment charge to current income.

Due to the macroeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we determined that indicators of potential impairment were present during the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020. As a result, we performed interim impairment testing on goodwill and the City Gear tradename as of April 15, 2020, using updated assumptions around prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates applied to future cash flows, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry.

In valuing goodwill, we use a combination of the Discounted Cash Flow methodology and the Guideline Public Company methodology, which require assumptions related to future cash flows, discount rate, and comparable public company entities. In the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020 and year ended January 30, 2021, we determined that goodwill of our City Gear reporting unit was fully impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $19.7 million. NaN impairment related to goodwill was recognized during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021.

In valuing the tradename intangible, we use the Relief from Royalty method which requires assumptions related to future revenues, royalty rate and discount rate. InNaN impairment related to the tradename intangible was recognized during the 13-weeks ended April 30, 2022 or May 2, 2020 and year ended January 30, 2021, we determined that the City Gear tradename was partially impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $8.9 million in store operating, selling, and administrative expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As the entire goodwill balance was written off as May 2, 2020, there are 0 goodwill impairment impacts in the current period.1, 2021.

Standards that were adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes ("Topic 740"): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” as part of its overall simplification initiative. ASU 2019-12 was issued in order to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to financial statement users. The amendments remove certain exceptions to the general provisions of Topic 740 and provide simplification in other areas of Topic 740. We adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 31, 2021, with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Standards that are not yet adopted

We continuously monitor and review all current accounting pronouncements and standards from the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board of U.S. GAAP for applicability to our operations. As of May 1, 2021,April 30, 2022, there were no other new pronouncements or interpretations that had or were expected to have a significant impact on our financial reporting.

3.    Leases

ROU lease assets are periodically reviewed for impairment losses. The Company uses the long-lived assets impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, to determine when to test ROU assets (or asset groups that contain one or more ROU assets for impairment), whether ROU assets are impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. An assetAsset group impairment charge of approximately $0.5 million and $4.1 million was recognizedcharges in the 13-weeks ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, and May 2, 2020, respectively.were immaterial.

4.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level I      – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level II      – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I.
Level III     – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The table below segregates all financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value (in thousands):

is reported in other accrued expenses on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Long-term contingent earnout is reported in other liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The short-term and long-term contingent earnouts represent the fair value of potential additional payments outlined in the Purchase Agreement to the former members and warrant holders of City Gear if certain financial goals were achieved in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 ("Earnout"). The total Earnout was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis in a risk-neutral framework with assumptions for volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The Earnout was re-valued each quarter in Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 and any change in valuation was recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. No revaluation was required in Fiscal 2022 and therefore no costs were recognized in store operating, selling, and administrative expenses in Fiscal 2022 as both Earnouts had been fully determined and paid out by the end of Fiscal 2021. As a result of the revaluation for the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020, a decrease of $11.0 million was recognized in store operating, selling, and administrative expenses.

5.    Debt

In October 2018, we entered into amended agreements with Bank of America, N.A. and Regions Bank providing for an aggregate amount of credit available to us under each line of credit of $50.0 million for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash purchase price payable in the acquisition of City Gear.

The terms of the Bank of America facility allowed for borrowings up to $50.0 million with an interest rate agreed upon between the lender and us at the time the loan was made. The terms of the Regions Bank facility allowed for borrowings up to $50.0 million with an interest rate at one-month LIBOR plus 1.5%. Both facilities were unsecured, due on demand and set to expire in October 2021. Under the provisions of both facilities, we did not pay commitment fees. However, both were subject to negative pledge agreements that, among other things, restricted liens or transfers of assets including inventory, tangible or intangible personal property, and land and land improvements.

In March 2020, we borrowed $50.0 million under these credit agreements as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic at that time. The proceeds from such borrowings were preserved for working capital, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes.

On April 16, 2020, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Note with Regions Bank ("Amended Credit Facility") that provides for an aggregate amount of credit available to us of $75.0 million. The Amended Credit Facility superseded the Regions Bank credit agreement dated October 2018, with a maturity date of April 19, 2021, and is secured by all assets of the Company with the exception of real property. Simultaneous with the execution of the Amended Credit Facility, the $50.0 million outstanding under the previous credit agreements was paid in full, the Bank of America credit agreement dated October 2018 was terminated and we incurred borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility of $50.0 million. On June 5, 2020, we entered into a Note Modification Agreementan amended agreement with Regions Bank that extended the maturity date of the Amended Credit Facilitythen existing credit facility of $75.0 million from April 19, 2021 to July 18, 2021.

The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and issuance of restricted stock. The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands):

9.    Dividends

In August 2021, the Board instituted a recurring quarterly cash dividend with the first cash dividend made on September 9, 2021. During the 13-weeks ended April 30, 2022, we paid cash dividends of $3.3 million under one declaration of $0.25 per share of common stock outstanding as of the record date.

While we currently pay a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share and expect to pay comparable cash dividends in the future, the declaration of dividends and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates and payment dates for any future dividends are subject to the final determination of our Board and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant. There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare dividends in any particular amounts or at all, and changes in our dividend policy could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Subsequent to April 30, 2022, on May 1, 2021,25, 2022, the Program was expanded and extended. See Note 12, Board declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, payable on June 21, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 9, 2022. The estimated payment is expected to be $3.3 million.

9.10.    Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings and Contingencies.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal matters in the ordinary course of its business, including actions by employees, consumers, suppliers, government agencies, or others. The Company has recorded accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For some matters, a liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore an accrual has not been made.

The Company believes that its pending legal matters, both individually and in the aggregate, will be resolved without a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole. However, litigation and other legal matters involve an element of uncertainty. Adverse decisions and settlements, including any required changes to the Company's business, or other developments in such matters could affect our operating results in future periods or result in a liability or other amounts material to the Company's annual consolidated financial statements. No material amounts were accrued at April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022, or May 1, 2021 January 30, 2021, or May 2, 2020 pertaining to legal proceedings or other contingencies.

10.11.    Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. For interim financial reporting, we estimate the annual effective tax rate based on expected taxable income or loss for the full year and record a quarterly income tax provision (benefit) in accordance with the anticipated annual effective rate and adjust for discrete items. We update the estimates of the taxable income or loss throughout the year as new information becomes available, including year-to-date financial results. This process often results in a change to our expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, we adjust the income tax provision (benefit) during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual effective tax rate.

At May 1, 2021, we had a liability of $0.7 million associated with unrecognized tax benefits.was immaterial.

Comparable store salesStore Sales - Comparable store sales for a particular periodStores deemed as comparable stores include our Hibbett, Sports, City Gear and Sports Additions stores open throughout thatthe reporting period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, and e-commerce sales. We consider comparable store sales to be a key indicator of our current performance; measuring the growth in sales and sales productivity of existing stores. Management believes that positive comparable store sales contribute to greater leveraging of operating costs, particularly payroll and occupancy costs, while negative comparable store sales contribute to deleveraging of costs. Comparable store sales also have a direct impact on our total net sales and the level of cash flow.

If a store remodel, relocation or expansion results in the store being closed for a significant period, its sales are removed from the comparable store sales base until it has been open a full 12 months. In addition, rebranded stores are treated as a new storestores and are not presented in comparable store sales until they have been open a full 12 months under the new brand.

During the 13-weeks ended April 30, 2022, we included 1,060 stores and e-commerce sales in comparable store sales. During the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021, we included 1,035 stores and e-commerce sales in comparable store sales.

In addition to the positive sales impact of stimulus on the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 as noted above, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial negative sales impact on the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. As a result, we believe sales performance relative to the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 provides the most relevant comparison prior to the pandemic. On a three-year basis, compared to the 13-weeks ended May 4, 2019, net sales increased 23.5% and comparable sales increased 22.9%.

Store operating, selling, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were 22.5% of net sales for the 13-weeks ended April 30, 2022, compared with 18.1% of net sales for the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021, compared with 33.1% of net sales for the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020.2021. This decreaseincrease was primarily the result of leverage gaineddeleverage resulting from the strong sales performance as well as having minimal costs in the current yearassociated with City Gear acquisition and integration activities and cycling the pandemic-induced impairment and valuation charges recorded in the first quarter of the prior year. First quarter SG&A expenses of 18.1% of net sales compares to prior year first quarter adjusted SG&A expenses of 23.9% of net sales, which excludes certain City Gear acquisition and integration activities and pandemic-related impairment and valuation costs. This decrease of approximately 580 basis points was also primarily due to leverage from the significant sales increase.lower sales.

About Non-GAAP Measures

This Management Discussion and Analysis includes certain non-GAAP financial measures for the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020, including adjusted net income, earnings per share, cost of goods sold, gross margin, SG&A expenses, and operating income as a percentage of net sales. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors to facilitate comparisons of our current financial results to historical operations and the financial results of peer companies, as they exclude the effects of items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our underlying operating results, such as expenses relatedsupply chain due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacts on manufacturing capacity, port backlogs, transportation equipment availability and the acquisition of City Gear. Costs relatedinternational conflicts. Foundational improvements to the COVID-19 pandemic include impairment charges of goodwill, tradename,customer experience and other assets and lower of cost or net realizable value inventory reserve charges. The costs related to the acquisition of City Gear include change in valuation of the contingent earnout and professional fees. There were no non-GAAP financial measures for the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021.

While our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance their ability to assess certain aspects ofattract and stay connected to underserved customers continues to strengthen our financial performance,relationships with our management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial statements. Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of our financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial statements, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

Gross margin

Gross margin was 41.4% of net sales for the 13-week period ended May 1, 2021, compared with 27.5% of net sales for the 13-week period ended May 2, 2020. The approximate 1,390 basis point increase was drivenwere unfavorably impacted by higher sell-through, a low promotional environment, a mix shift away from e-commerce sales, which carry a lower margin due to incremental fulfillment costs, leverage of store occupancy expenses, and a decline in non-cash lower of cost or net realizable value ("inventory valuation") reserve charges. Gross margin of 41.4% for the first quarter of the current year comparesdiscretionary income due to the prior year first quarter adjusted gross marginlack of 29.4%,stimulus funds which excludes adjustments to our non-cash inventory valuation reserves last year. This year over year improvement was the result of higher sell-through, a lower promotional environment, a mix shift away from e-commerce, and leverage of store occupancy expenses.
SG&A expenses
SG&A expenses were 18.1% of net sales for the 13-week period ended May 1, 2021, compared with 33.1% of net sales for the 13-week period ended May 2, 2020. This decrease was the result of leverage gained from the strong sales performance as well as having minimal costs in the current year associated with City Gear acquisition and integration activities and cycling the pandemic-induced impairment and valuation charges recordedpresent in the first quarter of the prior year. First

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the first quarters of both Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, we believe the 13-weeks ended May 4, 2019, the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, is the most relevant comparable period. Net sales increased 23.5% and comparable sales increased 22.9% versus the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. Brick and mortar comparable sales increased 13.6% and e-commerce sales grew 116.9% over the three-year period.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 37.0% of net sales for the 13-weeks ended April 30, 2022, compared with 41.4% of net sales for the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021. The approximate 440 basis point decline was primarily driven by deleverage of store occupancy costs of approximately 160 basis points mainly due to the combination of cost increases associated with a higher store count and the large year-over-year sales decline. In addition, product margin declined approximately 150 basis points due to product and channel mix and freight and transportation costs increased approximately 130 basis points primarily due to fuel surcharges and other accessorial charges.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

ImpactCOVID-19 and Other Macroeconomic Factors

We continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemicpandemic, the inflationary economic environment, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, and geopolitical conflicts on Liquidity

In response toour business. The positive impact on sales that we experienced as a result of the uncertain market conditions resulting frompandemic over the COVID-19 pandemic earlylast two fiscal years began moderating in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022 and continued in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, we enhanced our liquidity position through2023. We have experienced significant input cost inflation, for commodities and transportation, and to a lesser extent, for labor in the following actions:
In March 2020, we borrowed $50.0 million, $25.0 million from each of our two separate $50.0 million unsecured, demand lines of credit. This was done as a precautionary measure in ordercurrent year quarter. We continue to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility.
In April 2020, we replacedmonitor these two lines of credit with a single $75.0 million secured line of credit with a one-year term and continued to have $50.0 million in outstanding borrowings. In June 2020, the term of the secured line of credit was extended to July 2021. The outstanding $50.0 million balance was subsequently paid off during the second quarter of Fiscal 2021.
We worked with merchandise and non-merchandise vendors to extend payment terms temporarily through the end of May 2020.

As the result of strong sales beginning in the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, our liquidity position improved significantly. We ended the first quarter of Fiscal 20222023 with $270.9$23.2 million of available cash and cash equivalents on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Our capital requirements relate primarily to new store openings, relocations, and remodels,funding capital expenditures, stock repurchases, investments individends, the maintenance of facilities and systems to support company growth and working capital requirements. Our working capital requirements are somewhat seasonal in nature and typically reach their peak near the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth quarters of our fiscal year. Historically, we have funded our cash requirements primarily through our cash flow from operations and occasionally from borrowings under our credit facilities. We use excess cash to offset bank feesfees.

We believe that our existing cash balances, expected cash flow from operations, funds available under the Credit Facility, operating and may invest in interest-bearing securitiesfinance leases and money market accounts at management's discretion.normal trade credit will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures. We are not aware of any trends or events that would materially affect our capital requirements of liquidity.

Cash flow from operations is seasonal in our business. Typically, we use cash flow from operations to increase inventory in advance of peak selling seasons, such as winter holidays, the spring sales period and late summer back-to-school shopping season.shopping. Inventory levels are reduced in connection with higher sales during the peak selling seasons and this inventory reduction, combined with proportionately higher net income, typically produces a positive cash flow.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $108.4$28.8 million for the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021,April 30, 2022, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $3.9$108.4 million for the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020.1, 2021. Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, valuation ofliabilities as noted in the contingent City Gear earnout liability, impairments,

deferred income taxes, and stock-based compensation. Net cash provided by operating activities for May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020 was impacted by the following:bullets below.
Net income provided cash of $84.8 million and used cash of $15.3 million during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively.
Non-cash charges included depreciation and amortization expense of $8.1 million and $6.9 million and stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million and $1.2 million during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. Depreciation expense increased due to capital expenditure investments in new stores, existing store remodels and supportingrefreshes, technology enhancements and corporate infrastructure. Fluctuations in stock-based compensation generally result from the variability associated with performance-based equity awards, fluctuations in the price of our common stock, and the effects of forfeitures in any given period. 
Other non-cash adjustments to net income for the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020, included $32.6 million of asset impairment charges with the largest impact resulting from a significant temporary decrease in the market valuation of the Company at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an $11.0 million change in the valuation of the contingent earnout related to the City Gear acquisition.
Net inventories decreased $19.7 million and $46.0 million during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. Inventory levels typically decline during the first half of the year, but the decreases have been more pronounced over the last two years due to a significant increase in sales volume and constraints within the supply chain.
The change in receivablescontingent earnout in the 13-weeks ended May 2, 2020, of $11.9prior year represented $15.0 million resulted primarily from employee retention credits under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and an increase in receivables related to strong e-commerce sales.
The change in accounts payable used cash of $2.7 million and $33.5 million during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. This change is due mainly to the timing of payments in relation to inventory receipts.
The change in income tax payable, net, provided cash of $22.8 million and used cash of $4.5 million during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021 and May 2, 2020, respectively. This change is impacted by the timing of estimated tax payments that are determined based on projected annual taxable income. The taxable income projection in the current year is based on strong financial results versus last year, which was significantly impacted by the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, we paid $15.0 million during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021, to the former members and warrant holders of City Gear for achievement of previously defined financial goals in the second-year post acquisition. Of this amount, $13.8 million was reflected as operating activities and $1.2 million was reflected as financing activities, which representsrepresented the fair value of the long-term portion of the contingent earnout booked through the purchase price allocation.
Inventory balances in the current year have continued building from less than ideal levels. Inventory levels in the prior year were reduced significantly due to a surge in demand combined with a disruption in the supply chain that made it difficult to replenish balances.
The change in accounts payable is due mainly to the timing of payments in relation to inventory receipts.
The change in net income tax payable is due mainly to the timing of estimated payments.

The 2021 Credit Facility"),Facility is effective through July 9, 2026 with an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% to 1.8% depending on specified leverage levels.

The 2021 Credit Facility includes an annual commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, in an amount between 15 and 20 basis points of the unused portion of the line of credit as determined on a daily basis, dependent on the amount of debt outstanding. In addition, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants which hasinclude:

In addition, on April 7, 2022, the Company executed the First Amendment between the Company and its subsidiaries and Regions Bank. The First Amendment replaces LIBOR as the benchmark rate with the BSBY Index Rate. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Credit Facility carries an interest rate of BSBY plus 1.0% to 1.8% depending on specified leverage levels.
During the 13-weeks ended April 30, 2022, we paid $3.3 million of dividends to our stockholders. On May 25, 2022, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, payable on June 21, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 9, 2022. The estimated payment is expected to be $3.3 million. No dividends were paid during the 13-weeks ended May 1, 2021.

The declaration of future dividends and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates and payment dates for any such future dividends are subject to authorization by our Board of Directors and are dependent upon multiple factors, including future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements, and other considerations.

Based on our current operating plans, store forecasts, plans for the repurchase of our common stock, and expected capital expenditures, we believe that we can fund our cash needs for the foreseeable future through cash generated from operations and, if necessary, through periodic future borrowings against our Amendedthe Credit Facility.

Quarterly and Seasonal Fluctuations

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and results of operations. We typically experience higher net sales in early spring due to spring sports and annual tax refunds, late summer due to back-to-school shopping and winter due to holiday shopping. In addition, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including unseasonal weather patterns, the timing of high demand footwear launches, demand for merchandise driven by local interest in sporting events, back-to-school sales, and the timing of sales tax holidays and annual income tax refunds. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted youth and high school team sports and has resulted in some shifts of normal seasonal patterns during the periods presented.

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that, historically, inflation has had a material impact on our results of operations as we are generally able to pass along inflationary increases in costs to our customers.
