FOOT LOCKER, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

• Total Sales Down 2.4% Year-over-Year and Comparable Sales Down 2.0%• North American Comparable Sales Increase of 1.4%• GAAP EPS Loss of $0.39 and Non-GAAP EPS Loss of $0.27• Continued Store Modernization Efforts with 52 Refreshes • Opened 11 Reimagined Stores including the First 2 Champs Sports Stores • Successfully Launched Enhanced FLX Rewards Program in Europe , /PRNewswire/ -- Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended August 2, 2025. Mary Dillon, Chief Executive Officer said, "In the second quarter, we built sequential momentum and delivered positive North American comparable sales results led by our Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports banners, including a positive start to the Back-to-School season in July. At the same time, our results reflect a challenging operating environment and soft store traffic trends, particularly in our WSS and international businesses. Our team continued to execute our Lace Up Plan, remaining focused on elevating our customers' experiences by leveraging our strong brand partnerships, enhancing our store base through our Refresh and Reimagined programs, improving our digital platforms, and deepening global engagement through our FLX Rewards Program." Ms. Dillon added, "We are pleased to have recently received shareholder approval for the Company's acquisition by DICK'S Sporting Goods. All required regulatory approvals have been received, and we look forward to the successful completion of the transaction." Second Quarter Results Total sales were down 2.4%, to $1,851 million, as compared with sales of $1,896 million in the second quarter of 2024. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, total sales for the second quarter decreased by 3.7%. Comparable sales decreased by 2.0%, with comparable sales in North America generating a comparable increase of 1.4%, which represented an improvement relative to the first quarter. Additionally, this period represented the fourth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales growth at our Champs Sports banner, generating a comparable increase of 2.0%. Excluding WSS, comparable sales in North America increased by 2.6%. These gains were partially offset by comparable sales declines from our European and Asia Pacific businesses, which decreased by 10.3%.Please refer to the Sales by Banner table below for detailed sales performance by banner and region. Gross margin decreased by 50 basis points as compared with the prior-year period. Merchandise margins decreased by 50 basis points, while occupancy as a percentage of sales was flat compared to the prior-year period. SG&A as a percentage of sales increased by 20 basis points as compared with the prior-year period, primarily due to underlying deleverage on the sales decline. Compared to the prior year, SG&A dollars decreased by 1.7%, reflecting benefits from ongoing expense discipline, including our cost optimization program, partially offset by our investments in technology. Despite a pre-tax loss in the quarter, the Company recorded income tax expense of $8 million, or (25.5)%, primarily driven by taxable income in certain jurisdictions and the lack of a tax benefit on losses in the Netherlands. This a result of the Company's first quarter decision to fully value the related deferred tax assets on net operating losses. On a non-GAAP basis, income tax expense was $11 million, or (61.0)%. Net loss was $38 million, as compared with net loss of $12 million in the prior-year period. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss was $27 million for the second quarter, as compared with net loss of $4 million in the corresponding prior-year period. Second quarter loss per share was $0.39, as compared with loss per share of $0.13 in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP loss was $0.27 per share in the second quarter, as compared with non-GAAP loss per share of $0.05 in the corresponding prior-year period.See the tables below for the reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures. Balance Sheet At quarter-end, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $299 million, and total debt was $444 million. As of August 2, 2025, the Company's merchandise inventories were $1,709 million, 3.7% higher than at the end of the second quarter last year due largely to a strategic pull-forward of fall product and a 100 basis point change related to foreign exchange currency fluctuations. Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, merchandise inventories increased by 2.7% as compared with the second quarter of last year. Store Base Update During the second quarter, the Company opened 2 new stores and closed 11 stores. Also during the quarter, the Company remodeled or relocated 14 stores and refreshed 52 stores to our updated design standards, which incorporate key elements of our current brand design specifications. As of August 2, 2025, the Company operated 2,354 stores in 20 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition, 243 licensed stores were operating in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.

Non-GAAP financial measures that will be presented will exclude (i) gains or losses related to our minority investments, (ii) impairments and other, and (iii) certain tax matters that we believe are nonrecurring or unusual in nature. Certain financial measures are identified as non-GAAP, such as sales changes excluding foreign currency fluctuations, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. We present certain amounts as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, which are also considered non-GAAP measures. Where amounts are expressed as excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, such changes are determined by translating all amounts in both years using the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. Presenting amounts on a constant currency basis is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the changes in our business that are not related to currency movements. These non-GAAP measures are presented because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core business or affect comparability. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are useful in assessing our progress in achieving our long-term financial objectives and are consistent with how executive compensation is determined.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (unaudited) Periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024 (In millions, except per share amounts) Notes on Non-GAAP Adjustments: (1) During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded $15 million of expenses related to the pending acquisition by DICK'S Sporting Goods. Acquisition-related charges consisted of costs necessary to consummate the acquisition, including legal and investing banking advisory fees, as well as employee retention costs. For the second quarter, impairment and other also included a net credit of $2 million, consisting of a $9 million benefit from lease terminations related to the South Korea business shutdown, partially offset by $4 million of impairment of long-lived assets, primarily for the shutdown of a distribution center, and $3 million of accelerated tenancy from the closure of our global headquarters. Finally, we recognized $2 million of reorganization costs primarily related to the announced closure and relocation of the Company's global headquarters and other shutdown costs related to our businesses in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and a distribution center related to our WSS business. Additionally, during the year-to-date period of 2025, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $140 million to write down the WSS tradename and $110 million charge to write down goodwill, as a result of a triggering event due to a reduction in the Company's stock price and resulting market capitalization, coupled with general macroeconomic factors. Additionally, non-cash impairment charges of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets, as well as related accelerated amortization and lease terminations, related to the relocation of the global headquarters and the shutdown of the businesses that formerly operated in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden totaled $21 million. Reorganization costs totaled $5 million. The second quarter of 2024 included a $9 million impairment charge of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets, which was primarily related to the Company's decision to exit underperforming operations in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. For year-to-date 2024, impairment and other also included a loss accrual for legal claims of $7 million and a $7 million impairment of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets related to the Company's decision to no longer operate, and to sublease, one of its larger unprofitable stores in Europe. (2) For the second quarter of 2025, other expense / income included a $1 million adjustment on the gain related to the sale of the Greece and Romania businesses, bringing the year-to-date gain to $6 million. Additionally, the year-to-date period of 2025 included a $1 million loss on our share of losses related to equity method investments. For year-to-date 2024, the adjustments to other income / expense consisted of $2 million of our share of losses related to equity method investments. (3) In the first quarter of 2025, it was determined that due to recent weakness in market conditions, the ability to utilize the entirety of our European deferred tax asset was less likely than prior periods. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $117 million valuation allowance on all the deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and deferred interest deductions related to certain of the Company's European business. The Company will continue to monitor the recoverability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. Additionally, in connection with this assessment, the Company wrote off certain deferred tax costs of $7 million. In the second quarter, the Company recorded an adjustment to the first quarter charges of $1 million. Foot Locker, Inc.
