Mixed Impact 5 of 5 m&a Written later

DICK'S Sporting Goods agreed to acquire Foot Locker in a deal implying an equity value of about $2.4 billion and an enterprise value of about $2.5 billion, expected to close in the second half of 2025. The same day, DICK'S reported preliminary first-quarter 2025 results, with comparable sales up 4.5% and GAAP diluted EPS of $3.24, which the filing says remain subject to revision.

Key points

  • Foot Locker shareholders can elect $24.00 in cash or 0.1168 DICK'S shares for each Foot Locker share, with no minimum or maximum on either form of consideration.
  • DICK'S intends to finance the acquisition through cash-on-hand and new debt; Goldman Sachs provided fully committed bridge financing.
  • Preliminary Q1 2025 (quarter ended May 3, 2025): comparable sales growth of 4.5%; GAAP EPS $3.24, non-GAAP EPS $3.37 excluding $0.13 of investment losses.
  • The deal requires Foot Locker shareholder approval and regulatory approvals; the full Q1 results are scheduled for May 28, 2025.
