Net sales from Lids Sports Group increased 1.5% to $370.4 million for the first six months ended August 3, 2013, compared to $365.0 million for the same period last year, reflecting primarily a 5% increase in average Lids Sports Group stores operated, partially offset by a 4% decrease in comparable sales, which includes a 6% decrease in same store sales and a 27% increase in comparable direct sales. The comparable sales decrease reflected a 1% decrease in comparable store hat units sold and a 4% decrease in average price per hat for the first six months this year as "snap-back" hats are a lower priced item than fitted fashion hats and "snap-back" styles are becoming more price competitive. Management believes that the relative ease of merchandising non-fitted hats has enabled a variety of non-headwear retailers to carry the adjustable styles, increasing competition in the category, although management believes that competition in the category lessened somewhat by the end of the first six months of Fiscal 2014.
