“Our strong third quarter results once again demonstrate Boot Barn is a high growth retailer with significant opportunity ahead of us,” said Jim Conroy, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We increased top-line sales in excess of 64% in each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 compared to pre-pandemic levels two years ago and surpassed $1 billion in sales for the first nine-months of this fiscal year, which is greater than any full year period in the Company’s history. On a year to date basis, we expanded merchandise margin 330 basis points and improved earnings per share 235% compared to the same period two years ago. We continue to demonstrate that we have increased the size of our target market as we have extended beyond our legacy western customer. We believe that this expansion has resulted in the tremendous sales growth we have seen with strength in both our store and online channels. Importantly, this top-line growth has been accompanied by multiple years of merchandise margin expansion and outsized growth in earnings. I do want to commend the entire Boot Barn team for overcoming the challenges associated with supply chain, labor shortage and inflation that seem to be disrupting much of the retail landscape.

Operating Results for the Third Quarter Ended December 25, 2021 Compared to the Third Quarter Ended December 26, 2020

  • Net sales increased 60.7% to $485.9 million from $302.3 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 54.2% with retail store same store sales up 55.7% and e-commerce same store sales up 48.4%. The increase in net sales was the result of an increase of 54.2% in consolidated same store sales and the incremental sales from new stores opened over the past twelve months.
  • Gross profit was $191.7 million, or 39.4% of net sales, compared to $106.8 million, or 35.3% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to increased sales. The increase in gross profit rate of 410 basis points was driven by 140 basis points of leverage in buying and occupancy costs as a result of expense leverage on higher sales and a 270-basis point increase in merchandise margin. Merchandise margin increased 270 basis points primarily as a result of better full-price selling and growth in exclusive brand penetration.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were $99.5 million, or 20.5% of net sales, compared to $65.2 million, or 21.6% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of higher store payroll, higher store overhead and increased marketing expenses in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 110 basis points primarily as a result of expense leverage on higher sales.
  • Income from operations increased $50.6 million to $92.2 million, or 19.0% of net sales, compared to $41.6 million, or 13.8% of net sales, in the prior-year period. This increase represents 520 basis points of improvement in operating profit margin.
  • Net income was $69.2 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $29.6 million, or $1.00 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Net income per diluted share in the current-year period includes an approximately $0.04 per share benefit due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation compared to a $0.01 per share benefit in the prior-year period. Excluding the tax benefit in the current year period, net income per diluted share in the current-year period was $2.23, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.99 in the prior-year period.

Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended December 25, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 26, 2020

  • Net sales increased 74.1% to $1.1 billion from $634.6 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 61.8% with retail store same store sales up 68.7% and e-commerce same store sales up 35.8%. The increase in net sales was the result of an increase of 61.8% in consolidated same store sales, the incremental sales from new stores opened over the past twelve months, and the sales contribution from temporarily closed stores that were excluded from the comp base. Net sales in the prior-year period were adversely impacted by decreases in retail store sales resulting from decreased traffic in our stores from customers staying at home in response to the COVID-19 crisis and temporary store closures.
  • Gross profit was $426.2 million, or 38.6% of net sales, compared to $202.5 million, or 31.9% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to increased sales. The increase in gross profit rate of 670 basis points was driven by 340 basis points of leverage in buying and occupancy costs as a result of expense leverage on higher sales and a 330 basis point increase in merchandise margin. Merchandise margin increased 330 basis points primarily as a result of better full-price selling, increased penetration of store sales compared to the prior year, and growth in exclusive brand penetration.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were $230.3 million, or 20.8% of net sales, compared to $149.0 million, or 23.5% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of higher store payroll, higher store overhead and increased marketing expenses in the current-year period compared to the prior-year period which was impacted by COVID-19.Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 260 basis points primarily as a result of expense leverage on higher sales.
  • Income from operations increased $142.5 million to $195.9 million, or 17.7% of net sales, compared to $53.5 million, or 8.4% of net sales, in the prior-year period. This increase represents 930 basis points of improvement in operating profit margin.
  • Net income was $147.7 million, or $4.86 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.8 million, or $1.19 per diluted share in the prior-year period.

Excluding the tax benefit in the current year period, net income per diluted share in the current-year period was $4.69, compared to net income per diluted share of $1.18 in the prior-year period.

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: the effect of COVID-19 on our business operations, growth strategies, store traffic, employee availability, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow; 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.
