Dick's Financial Chief Departs

Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. said Teri List-Stoll is no longer chief financial officer and that André Hawaux, the company's chief operating officer, will fill the role on an interim basis until a successor is found.

The retailer made the announcement in a filing with government regulators, days before it is scheduled to report its second-quarter earnings on Aug. 16.

Dick's Sporting Goods didn't provide any further details about Ms. List-Stoll's departure or its timing. A company representative wasn't available for immediate comment.

Mr. Hawaux, 55 years old, who has been chief operating officer since August 2015, previously was financial chief. Before joining Dick's, he was president of consumer foods and chief financial officer at ConAgra Foods Inc. Before that, he was financial chief for Pepsi-Cola North America and Pepsi International's China business unit.

For the first quarter, Dick's reported strong sales growth but offered a downbeat assessment for the remainder of the year as it contends with closeout sales from rivals.

Dick's shares edged 0.5% higher to $54.87 in early trading.
