HIBBETT PROVIDES BUSINESS UPDATE

AND ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER CONFERENCE CALL

· Comparable Store Sales Decrease 1.1% in Second Quarter

· Second Quarter EPS Expected to be in the Range of $0.26 to $0.28 Per Diluted Share

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (August 10, 2015) – Hibbett Sports, Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: HIBB), a sporting goods retailer, today provided preliminary results for the second quarter ended August 1, 2015.

Preliminary Unaudited Second Quarter Results

Net sales for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2015 increased 2.8% to $199.3 million compared with $193.9 million for the 13-week period ended August 2, 2014.  Comparable store sales decreased 1.1% for the second quarter of Fiscal 2016 compared with the second quarter of Fiscal 2015.

Based on preliminary second quarter results, earnings per diluted share for the 13-week period ended August 1, 2015 are expected to be in the range of $0.26 to $0.28 compared with $0.32 reported for the 13-week period ended August 2, 2014.  Hibbett Sports plans to report full second quarter results on August 21, 2015.

Jeff Rosenthal, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "For the second quarter, comparable store sales were softer than expected.  While we anticipated slower sales due to 10 states delaying their tax-free weekend by one week (from the last weekend in fiscal July in the prior year to the first week of fiscal August this year), there also was underlying business softness.  Details about sales trends in early August and our future outlook will be discussed when we report full second quarter results on August 21, 2015."

Hibbett plans to issue its second quarter earnings release before the market opens on August 21, 2015, and will host a conference call later that same day at 10:00 a.m. ET.  The number to call for the live interactive teleconference is (212) 271-4651.  A replay of the conference call will be available until August 28, 2015, by dialing (402) 977-9140 and entering the passcode, 21770267.

The live broadcast of Hibbett's quarterly conference call will be available online at www.hibbett.com under Investor Relations on August 21, 2015, beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET.  The online replay will follow shortly after the call and be available for replay for one year.
