IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BOOT) today announced its financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2019.
Highlights for the quarter ended June 29, 2019, were as follows:
-
Net sales increased 14.7% to $185.8 million.
-
Same store sales increased 9.4%, including an increase in retail store same store sales of 11.1% and an increase in e-commerce sales of 0.9%.
-
Net income was $9.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $6.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Net income per diluted share in the current-year period includes $0.01 per share of tax benefit from the exercise of stock options compared to $0.09 per share of tax benefit from the exercise of stock options in the prior-year period. Excluding the tax benefit in both years, net income per diluted share in the current-year period grew 113% to $0.32, compared to $0.15 in the prior-year period.
Jim Conroy, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The underlying strength in the business has continued as evidenced by our strong start to fiscal 2020. First quarter same store sales grew 9.4% driven by a double-digit retail store comp increase, marking the ninth consecutive quarter of positive gains at our physical locations. At the same time, increases in full-price selling and exclusive brand penetration helped fuel a 150 basis point improvement in merchandise margin, which along with SG&A leverage, resulted in significant operating margin expansion. Importantly, we’ve experienced strength across virtually all geographies and merchandise categories and this momentum has continued into the start of the second quarter with same store sales up high-single digits in July, despite eliminating our long-standing anniversary sale in the current year.”
Operating Results for the First Quarter Ended June 29, 2019
-
Net sales increased 14.7% to $185.8 million from $162.0 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 9.4%. Excluding the impact of the 0.9% increase in e-commerce same store sales, same store sales increased by 11.1%. The increase in net sales was driven by the increase in same store sales, sales from new stores added over the past twelve months and the sales contribution from acquired stores.
-
Gross profit was $62.2 million, or 33.5% of net sales, compared to $51.4 million, or 31.8% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to increased sales and an increase in merchandise margin rate. Gross profit rate increased due to a 150 basis point increase in merchandise margin rate and 20 basis points of leverage in buying and occupancy costs. The higher merchandise margin was driven by better full-price selling and growth in exclusive brand penetration.
-
Selling, general and administrative expense was $46.1 million, or 24.8% of net sales, compared to $41.6 million, or 25.7% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily a result of additional costs to support higher sales and expenses for both new and acquired stores. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased by 90 basis points as a result of expense leverage on higher sales.
-
Income from operations grew 63.4% to $16.1 million, or 8.6% of net sales, compared to $9.8 million, or 6.1% of net sales, in the prior-year period. This increase represents approximately 260 basis points of improvement in operating profit margin.
-
Net income was $9.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $6.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Net income per diluted share in the current-year period includes $0.01 per share of tax benefit from the exercise of stock options compared to $0.09 per share of tax benefit from the exercise of stock options in the prior-year period. Excluding the tax benefit in both years, net income per diluted share in the current-year period grew 113% to $0.32, compared to $0.15 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.
