Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2025

Financial Results

IRVINE, California – August 7, 2024 – Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BOOT) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024. A Supplemental Financial Presentation is available at investor.bootbarn.com.

For the quarter ended June 29, 2024 compared to the quarter ended July 1, 2023:

● Net sales increased 10.3% over the prior-year period to $423.4 million.

● Same store sales increased 1.4% compared to the prior-year period, comprised of an increase of 0.8% in retail store same store sales and an increase of 6.7% in e-commerce same store sales.

● Net income was $38.9 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to $34.3 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Net income per diluted share in the current-year and prior-year period includes an approximately $0.06 and $0.02 per share benefit, respectively, primarily due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation.

● The Company opened 11 new stores, bringing its total store count to 411.

Jim Conroy, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very pleased with our first quarter results and want to thank the entire Boot Barn team across the country for excellent execution. We increased revenue by more than 10% with growth in sales from both new stores and same store sales and exceeded the high end of our guidance range across every metric, including a significant beat of earnings per share. The sequential improvement we have seen in consolidated same store sales growth not only continued into the first quarter but grew consistently from month to month within the quarter itself. We are encouraged by the building sales momentum we have seen, particularly while maintaining our low promotional posture. Looking forward, despite the potential macroeconomic challenges, we remain steadfast in maintaining our focus on our strategic initiatives and feel that we are well-positioned for long-term success.”

Operating Results for the First Quarter Ended June 29, 2024 Compared to the First Quarter Ended July 1, 2023

● Net sales increased 10.3% to $423.4 million from $383.7 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 1.4%, with retail store same store sales increasing 0.8% and e-commerce same store sales increasing 6.7%. The increase in net sales was the result of incremental sales from new stores and the increase in consolidated same store sales.

● Gross profit was $156.7 million, or 37.0% of net sales, compared to $142.0 million, or 37.0% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit increased primarily due to an increase in sales and merchandise margin, partially offset by the occupancy costs of new stores. Gross profit rate was flat when compared to the prior-year period, as a result of a 100 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate, offset by 100 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs.The increase in merchandise margin rate was the result of supply chain efficiencies, while the deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was driven primarily by the addition of new stores.

● Selling, general and administrative expenses were $106.5 million, or 25.2% of net sales, compared to $95.7 million, or 24.9% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as

1

compared to the prior-year period, was primarily a result of higher store payroll and store-related expenses associated with operating more stores, corporate general and administrative expenses, and marketing expenses in the current year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 20 basis points primarily as a result of higher marketing expenses and higher corporate general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower store-related expenses.

● Income from operations increased $4.0 million to $50.2 million, or 11.9% of net sales, compared to $46.2 million, or 12.1% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above.

● Net income was $38.9 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.3 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in the prior-year period. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to the factors noted above. Net income per diluted share in the current-year and prior-year period includes an approximately $0.06 and $0.02 per share benefit, respectively, primarily due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation.
