Presentation
Dan Aldridge
Vice President of Investor Relations
All right. Good morning, everybody, and thank you for joining us at Academy Sports 2026 Analyst Day. I’m Dan Aldridge, Vice President of Investor Relations. Before we get started and go through the boilerplate, I want to call everybody’s attention to the release that we issued this morning with an update on Q1. We now expect sales to be in the range of 6% to 7% and comparable sales to be in the range of 2% to 3%.
So with that being said, as a reminder, today’s presentation and the comments made by management during the event include forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors identified in the press release and our most recent 10-K and 10-Q filings.
