Operating Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended March 28, 2026 Compared to the Fourth Quarter Ended March 29, 2025
| ● | Net sales increased 18.7% to $538.8 million from $453.7 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 6.1%, with retail store same store sales increasing 5.2% and e-commerce same store sales increasing 14.1%. 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 $195.7 million, or 36.3% of net sales, compared to $168.6 million, or 37.1% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an increase in sales, partially offset by the occupancy costs of new stores. The 80 basis-point decrease in gross profit rate was driven primarily by 50 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs and a 30 basis-point decrease in merchandise margin rate. The deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was primarily driven by |
1
| the occupancy costs of new stores. The decrease in merchandise margin rate was primarily the result of cycling low shrink and low freight expense in the prior-year period, partially offset by better buying economies of scale and growth in exclusive brand penetration in the current-year period. |
| ● | Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $138.5 million, or 25.7% of net sales, compared to $118.9 million, or 26.2% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The increase in SG&A expenses compared to the prior-year period was primarily the result of higher store payroll and store-related expenses associated with operating more stores and marketing expenses in the current-year period. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales leveraged by 50 basis points primarily as a result of lower corporate general and administrative expenses in the current-year period. |
| ● | Income from operations increased $7.5 million to $57.2 million, or 10.6% of net sales, compared to $49.7 million, or 11.0% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above. |
| ● | Income tax expense was $13.2 million, or a 22.9% effective tax rate, compared to $12.4 million, or a 24.8% effective tax rate, in the prior-year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to discrete tax benefits recorded in the current-year period, including return-to-provision adjustments, updates to state apportionment factors, and the effects of tax law changes enacted in the current-year period. |
| ● | Net income was $44.4 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, compared to $37.5 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the factors noted above. |
Operating Results for the Fiscal 2026 Compared to Fiscal 2025
| ● | Net sales increased 17.9% to $2.254 billion from $1.911 billion in Fiscal 2025. Consolidated same store sales increased 7.2%, with retail store same store sales increasing 6.2% and e-commerce same store sales increasing 15.3%. 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 $858.4 million, or 38.1% of net sales, compared to $717.0 million, or 37.5% of net sales, in Fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to an increase in sales and merchandise margin, partially offset by the occupancy costs of new stores. The increase in gross profit rate was driven primarily by an 80 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate, partially offset by 20 basis points of deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs. The increase in merchandise margin rate was primarily the result of better buying economies of scale, growth in exclusive brand penetration, and supply chain efficiencies. The deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was driven by the occupancy costs of new stores. |
| ● | SG&A expenses were $559.2 million, or 24.8% of net sales, compared to $477.7 million, or 25.0% of net sales, in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses compared to Fiscal 2025 was primarily the result of higher store payroll and store-related expenses associated with operating more stores, marketing expenses, and corporate general and administrative expenses in Fiscal 2026. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales leveraged by 20 basis points primarily as a result of lower corporate general and administrative expenses in Fiscal 2026. Included in Fiscal 2025 is a net benefit of $6.7 million related to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer’s (“CEO”) resignation. Excluding this benefit in the prior year, SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales leveraged by 50 basis points. |
| ● | Income from operations increased $59.8 million to $299.1 million, or 13.3% of net sales, compared to $239.4 million, or 12.5% of net sales, in Fiscal 2025, primarily due to the factors noted above. |
| ● | Income tax expense was $74.7 million, or a 24.9% effective tax rate, compared to $59.2 million, or a 24.6% effective tax rate, in Fiscal 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. |
2
| ● | Net income was $225.9 million, or $7.35 per diluted share, compared to $180.9 million, or $5.88 per diluted share, in Fiscal 2025. Included in net income per diluted share in Fiscal 2025 is a net benefit of $6.7 million, or $0.22 per share, related to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer’s resignation. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the factors noted above. |

| 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. Forward-looking statements refer to Boot Barn Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company,” “Boot Barn,” “BOOT,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) current expectations and projections relating to, by way of example and without limitation, the Company’s 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 generally 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 that 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 impact that import tariffs and other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S., or other countries have had, and may continue to have, on our product costs and changes to U.S. or other countries’ trade policies and tariff and import/export regulations; 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 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, changes to U.S. or other countries’ trade policies and tariff and import/export regulations, 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 the sections captioned “Risk factors” in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Looking ahead, Q2 Fiscal 2027 earnings are expected to be in line with Q1 Fiscal 2027, resulting in strong year-over-year growth given last year’s Q2 was comparatively smaller than Q1 versus typical historical cadence. |
