Insights

Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. reported a mixed bag of financial results for its fiscal year ended March 30, 2024. Although net sales increased slightly by 0.6% year-over-year to $1.667 billion, the company faced several headwinds.

First, same store sales (SSS) decreased by 6.2%, with retail store SSS down 5.6% and e-commerce SSS falling by 10.6%. This decline is noteworthy as it indicates weakening consumer engagement both in physical stores and online, despite the overall net sales growth driven by store expansion.

On the profitability front, net income dropped to $147.0 million ($4.80 per diluted share) from $170.6 million ($5.62 per diluted share) in the prior year. This decline in net income, despite the modest sales growth, can be attributed to increased SG&A expenses and a partial impairment of the Sheplers' trademark.

Gross profit margins stayed relatively flat at 36.9%, but the increase in SGA expenses to 25.0% of net sales compared to 22.9% last year is significant. These costs were driven by higher general administrative expenses, store payroll associated with 55 new store openings and other operating expenses.

In the short term, the company’s guidance for FY2025, with expected total sales between $1.766 billion and $1.800 billion and net income per diluted share of $4.55 to $4.85, shows cautious optimism but highlights ongoing challenges in same store sales.

For retail investors, these results suggest a mixed financial outlook. While the company is expanding its physical footprint and maintaining gross margins, the decline in same store sales and rising operational costs are concerns that might weigh on profitability if not addressed effectively.

From a market perspective, Boot Barn Holdings' performance offers insights into broader retail trends and consumer behavior. The decrease in same store sales across both retail and e-commerce channels suggests a shift in consumer spending patterns. This is particularly evident in the e-commerce decline of 10.6%, which contradicts the prevailing trend of growing online sales in the retail sector.

The company's strategy to increase the number of physical stores, reaching 400 locations, contrasts with the broader industry trend of digital transformation and reduced physical footprint. This expansion may be part of a long-term strategy to capture market share in underserved regions, however, it's important to monitor its impact on overall profitability given higher occupancy and operational costs.

The merchandise margin expansion driven by improvements in freight expense and supply chain efficiencies is a positive sign. It demonstrates effective cost management within the merchandise domain, but the overall increase in SG&A expenses poses a significant challenge.

Investors should keep an eye on consumer confidence and spending behavior, particularly in the retail sector, as Boot Barn's performance seems tightly coupled with these macroeconomic factors. Additionally, the company's ability to stabilize and grow same store sales will be important for long-term success.

Boot Barn's guidance for fiscal 2025, with a planned opening of 60 new stores and anticipated sales growth of 5.9% to 8.0%, indicates a commitment to growth. Yet, the projected same store sales decline underscores the ongoing challenges in boosting organic sales and consumer engagement.

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BOOT) today announced its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended March 30, 2024. A Supplemental Financial Presentation is available at investor.bootbarn.com.

The 5.9% decrease in consolidated same store sales is comprised of a decrease in retail store same store sales of 5.7% and a decrease in e-commerce same store sales of 7.6%.
  • Net income was $29.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $46.4 million, or $1.53 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Net income per diluted share in the fourth quarter includes a non-cash charge of $2.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, related to the partial impairment of the Sheplers’ trademark.
  • The Company opened 18 new stores, bringing its total store count to 400.

For the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 (52 weeks) compared to the fiscal year ended April 1, 2023 (53 weeks):

  • Net sales increased 0.6% over the prior-year to $1.667 billion. Net sales increased 2.3% when excluding $28.3 million of sales from the 53rd week of the prior year.
  • Same store sales decreased 6.2% compared to the prior year, cycling 57% same store sales growth on a 3-year stack basis. The 6.2% decrease in consolidated same store sales is comprised of a decrease in retail store same store sales of 5.6% and a decrease in e-commerce same store sales of 10.6%.
  • Net income, inclusive of the non-cash partial impairment, was $147.0 million, or $4.80 per diluted share, compared to $170.6 million, or $5.62 per diluted share in the prior year.
  • The Company opened 55 new stores, bringing its total store count to 400.

Jim Conroy, president and chief executive officer, commented, “I am pleased with our fourth quarter performance and proud of the efforts of the entire Boot Barn team. We crossed the 400-store milestone prior to year-end and extended the Boot Barn brand to 45 states across the country. In the year, revenue showed modest growth despite experiencing a mid-single digit decline in consolidated same store sales and cycling a 53-week fiscal year. We also grew exclusive brand penetration by 370 basis points which contributed to merchandise margin expansion.

Encouragingly, our fourth quarter same store sales performance was meaningfully better than the third quarter and, based on the recent trends in the business, we believe we will continue to experience further improvement going forward. In fact, we have seen broad-based sequential improvement across virtually all major merchandise departments, both stores and ecommerce channels, and in all four regional geographies. This trajectory began as we progressed from our third quarter into the fourth quarter, then improved in April and again into May where we have seen positive same store sales in both channels on a month-to-date basis. While we expect the consumer to continue to be cautious for the foreseeable future, we feel well positioned to further execute on our long-term strategic initiatives.”

Operating Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended March 30, 2024 (13 weeks) Compared to the Fourth Quarter Ended April 1, 2023 (14 weeks)

  • Net sales decreased 8.7% to $388.5 million from $425.7 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales decreased 5.9% with retail store same store sales decreasing 5.7% and e-commerce same store sales decreasing 7.6%. The decrease in net sales was the result of the decrease in consolidated same store sales and the impact of a 13-week quarter when compared to a 14-week quarter in the prior-year period, partially offset by the incremental sales from new stores opened over the past twelve months.

  • Gross profit was $139.4 million, or 35.9% of net sales, compared to $155.8 million, or 36.6% of net sales, in the prior-year period. Gross profit decreased primarily due to a decrease in sales, partially offset by merchandise margin expansion. The decrease in gross profit rate of 70 basis points was driven primarily by 230 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs, partially offset by a 160 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate. The deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was driven primarily by the higher occupancy costs of new stores, the impact of a 13-week quarter when compared to a 14-week quarter in the prior-year period, and depreciation expense related to the opening of the new Kansas City distribution center. The increase in merchandise margin rate was driven by a 160 basis-point improvement in freight expense and supply chain efficiencies as a percentage of net sales.

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were $101.2 million, or 26.1% of net sales, compared to $93.1 million, or 21.9% 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 normalized incentive-based compensation when compared to the prior-period reversal of incentive-based compensation, higher marketing expenses, and a $2.0 million partial impairment of the Sheplers’ trademark, partially offset by the impact of the 14th week in the prior-year period and lower store labor. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by 420 basis points primarily as a result of higher marketing expenses, normalized incentive-based compensation when compared to the prior-period reversal of incentive-based compensation, a $2.0 million partial impairment of the Sheplers’ trademark, higher store labor and the impact of a 13-week quarter when compared to a 14-week quarter in the prior year.

  • Income from operations decreased $24.5 million to $38.2 million, or 9.8% of net sales, compared to $62.7 million, or 14.7% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above.

  • Net income was $29.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to net income of $46.4 million, or $1.53 per diluted share in the prior-year period.

Operating Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 30, 2024 (52 weeks) Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended April 1, 2023 (53 weeks)

  • Net sales increased 0.6% to $1.667 billion from $1.658 billion in the prior year. Consolidated same store sales decreased 6.2% with retail store same store sales decreasing 5.6% and e-commerce same store sales decreasing 10.6%. 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 and sales from the 53rd week of the prior year.
  • Gross profit was $614.4 million, or 36.9% of net sales, compared to $610.6 million, or 36.8% of net sales, in the prior year. Gross profit increased primarily due to merchandise margin expansion and sales growth. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit rate was approximately flat driven primarily by a 160 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate offset by 160 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs. The increase in merchandise margin rate was driven primarily by a 120 basis-point improvement in freight expense as a percentage of net sales and 40 basis points of product margin expansion resulting primarily from growth in exclusive brand penetration and buying economies of scale. The deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was driven primarily by the higher occupancy costs of new stores, depreciation expense related to the opening of the new Kansas City distribution center and the impact of a 52-week year when compared to a 53-week year last year.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were $416.2 million, or 25.0% of net sales, compared to $378.8 million, or 22.9% of net sales, in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of higher general and administrative expenses, store payroll associated with operating 55 new stores and other operating expenses in the current year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased by approximately 210 basis points primarily as a result of higher general and administrative expenses and store payroll costs.
  • Income from operations decreased $33.6 million to $198.2 million, or 11.9% of net sales, compared to $231.8 million, or 14.0% of net sales, in the prior year, primarily due to the factors noted above.
  • Net income was $147.0 million, or $4.80 per diluted share, compared to net income of $170.6 million, or $5.62 per diluted share in the prior year.
