Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2024

Financial Results

IRVINE, California – January 31, 2024 – Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BOOT) today announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2023. A Supplemental Financial Presentation is available at investor.bootbarn.com.

For the quarter ended December 30, 2023:

●	Net sales increased 1.1% over the prior-year period to $520.4 million.

●

Same store sales decreased 9.7% compared to the prior-year period, cycling 51% same store sales growth on a 2-year stack basis. The 9.7% decrease in consolidated same store sales is comprised of a decrease in retail store same store sales of 9.4% and a decrease in e-commerce same store sales of 11.5%.

●	Net income was $55.6 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, compared to $52.8 million, or $1.74 per diluted share in the prior-year period.

●	The Company opened 11 new stores, bringing its total store count to 382.

Jim Conroy, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented “I am pleased with our third quarter performance. We added 11 new stores and were able to maintain our consistent track record of delivering growth. Excluding three quarters in calendar 2020 that were impacted by the pandemic, the third quarter marks our 38th consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth since our IPO in 2014, nearly ten years ago. Our top line was driven by the sales from the 49 new stores opened over the past 12 months, which more than offset a 9.7% decline in same store sales. We also grew earnings compared to last year through a combination of sales growth, disciplined expense control and an increase in merchandise margin, which benefited from improved freight. These results underscore the strength of the Boot Barn business model and are a testament to solid execution across the organization.”

Operating Results for the Third Quarter Ended December 30, 2023 Compared to the Third Quarter Ended December 24, 2022

●

Net sales increased 1.1% to $520.4 million from $514.6 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales decreased 9.7% with retail store same store sales decreasing 9.4% and e-commerce same store sales decreasing 11.5%. The increase in net sales was the result of the incremental sales from new stores opened over the past twelve months, partially offset by the decrease in consolidated same store sales.

●

Gross profit was $199.1 million, or 38.3% of net sales, compared to $187.8 million, or 36.5% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to merchandise margin expansion and sales growth. The increase in gross profit rate of 180 basis points was driven primarily by a 300 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate partially offset by 120 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs. The increase in merchandise margin rate was driven by a 250 basis-point improvement in freight expense as a percentage of net sales and 50 basis points of product margin expansion resulting primarily from lower promotional activity and growth in exclusive brand penetration. The deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was driven primarily by the occupancy costs of 49 new stores and operating costs related to the new Kansas City distribution center.

●

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $124.0 million, or 23.8% of net sales, compared to $115.3 million, or 22.4% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the prior-year period was primarily a result of higher general and administrative expenses, store payroll associated with operating 49 new stores and other operating expenses in the current year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 140 basis points primarily as a result of higher overhead, payroll and other operating expenses.

●	Income from operations increased $2.6 million to $75.1 million, or 14.4% of net sales, compared to $72.5 million, or 14.1% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above.

●	Net income was $55.6 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, compared to net income of $52.8 million, or $1.74 per diluted share in the prior-year period. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the factors noted above.

Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended December 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 24, 2022

●

Net sales increased 3.8% to $1.279 billion from $1.232 billion in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales decreased 6.3% with retail store same store sales decreasing 5.6% and e-commerce same store sales decreasing 11.4%. The increase in net sales was the result of the incremental sales from new stores opened over the past twelve months, partially offset by the decrease in consolidated same store sales.

●

Gross profit was $475.0 million, or 37.2% of net sales, compared to $454.7 million, or 36.9% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to sales growth and merchandise margin expansion. The increase in gross profit rate of 30 basis points was driven primarily by a 170 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate, partially offset by 140 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs. The increase in merchandise margin rate was driven by a 120 basis-point improvement in freight expense as a percentage of net sales and 50 basis points of product margin expansion resulting primarily from growth in exclusive brand penetration. The deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was driven primarily by the occupancy costs of 49 new stores and operating costs related to the new Kansas City distribution center.

●

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $315.0 million, or 24.6% of net sales, compared to $285.7 million, or 23.2% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the prior-year period was primarily a result of higher store payroll and store-related expenses associated with operating 49 new stores and general and administrative expenses in the current year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 140 basis points primarily as a result of higher payroll and overhead costs.

●	Income from operations decreased $9.1 million to $160.0 million, or 12.5% of net sales, compared to $169.1 million, or 13.7% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above.

●

Net income was $117.6 million, or $3.84 per diluted share, compared to net income of $124.1 million, or $4.09 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Net income per diluted share in the current-year period includes an approximately $0.01 per share tax benefit, primarily due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation, partially offset by changes to state tax rates. Net income per diluted share in the prior-year period includes an approximately $0.03 per share tax benefit, primarily due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation. Excluding these net tax effects, net income per diluted share was $3.83 in the current-year period, compared to $4.06 in the prior-year period.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements refer to our current expectations and projections relating to, by way of example and without limitation, our financial condition, liquidity, profitability, results of operations, margins, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance, business and industry. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “plan“, “intend”, “believe”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “can have”, “likely”, “outlook” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events, but not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company’s management has made in light of their industry experience and on their perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you consider this press release, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some

of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following: decreases in consumer spending due to declines in consumer confidence, local economic conditions or changes in consumer preferences; the Company’s ability to effectively execute on its growth strategy; and the Company’s failure to maintain and enhance its strong brand image, to compete effectively, to maintain good relationships with its key suppliers, and to improve and expand its exclusive product offerings. The Company discusses the foregoing risks and other risks in greater detail under the heading “Risk factors” in the periodic reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect the Company’s actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Because of these factors, the Company cautions that you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect the Company. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update or revise the forward-looking statements in this press release after the date of this press release.

0 Supplemental Financial Presentation January 2024 Offering everyone a piece of the American spirit—one handshake at a time.

1 Important Information Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they generally include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan,“ "intend," "believe," “outlook” and other words of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events but not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company’s management has made in light of their industry experience and on their perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you consider this presentation, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following: decreases in consumer spending due to declines in consumer confidence, local economic conditions or changes in consumer preferences; the Company’s ability to effectively execute on its growth strategy; the Company’s failure to maintain and enhance its strong brand image, to compete effectively, to maintain good relationships with its key suppliers, and to improve and expand its exclusive product offerings. The Company discusses the foregoing risks and other risks in greater detail under the heading “Risk factors” in the periodic reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect the Company’s actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Because of these factors, the Company cautions that you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect the Company. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update or revise the forward-looking statements in this presentation after the date of this presentation. Industry and Market Information Statements in this presentation concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations and competitive position, business opportunity and market size, growth and share, are based on information from independent industry organizations and other third-party sources, data from our internal research and management estimates. Management estimates are derived from publicly available information and the information and data referred to above and are based on assumptions and calculations made by us based upon our interpretation of such information and data. The information and data referred to above are imprecise and may prove to be inaccurate because the information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limitations on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. As a result, please be aware that the data and statistical information in this presentation may differ from information provided by our competitors or from information found in current or future studies conducted by market research institutes, consultancy firms or independent sources. Recent Developments Our business and opportunities for growth depend on consumer discretionary spending, and as such, our results are particularly sensitive to economic conditions and consumer confidence. Inflation and other challenges affecting the global economy could impact our operations and will depend on future developments, which are uncertain. These and other effects make it more challenging for us to estimate the future performance of our business, particularly over the near-to-medium term. For further discussion of the uncertainties and business risks affecting the Company, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on May 18, 2023 (the “Fiscal 2023 10-K”).
