- Comparable sales fell 19% compared to the quarter ending May 1, 2021.
- E-commerce sales grew 4% year-over-year but represented only 15% of total net sales.

Looking Ahead
Hibbett is expecting supply chain constraints, pandemic-related issues, inflation pressures, and geopolitical conflicts to impact its financial performance in FY2023.
The company estimates net sales will be relatively flat compared to FY2022.
