Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dick’s Sporting Goods and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, comprehensive
(loss) income, and cash fl ows for each of the three fi scal years in the period ended January 31, 2009. These fi nancial statements are
the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the fi nancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signifi cant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall fi nancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated fi nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the fi nancial position of Dick’s Sporting
Goods and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash fl ows for each
of the three fi scal years in the period ended January 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated fi nancial statements, on February 4, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
Company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting as of January 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated
March 20, 2009 expressed as an unqualifi ed opinion on the Company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting.
