Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. Announces:
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
Increased Store Count Potential of 1,200 Stores
IRVINE, California – October 29, 2025 – Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BOOT) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2025. A Supplemental Financial Presentation is available at investor.bootbarn.com.
For the quarter ended September 27, 2025 compared to the quarter ended September 28, 2024:
| ● | Net sales increased 18.7% over the prior-year period to $505.4 million. |
| ● | Same store sales increased 8.4%, with retail store same store sales increasing 7.8% and e-commerce same store sales increasing 14.4%. |
| ● | Net income was $42.2 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. |
| ● | The Company opened 16 new stores, bringing its total store count to 489 as of the quarter end. |
John Hazen, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We delivered another strong quarter with high single-digit consolidated same-store sales growth and 19% total sales growth, demonstrating the continued resilience and broad appeal of our brand. This strength was evident across all major merchandise categories and geographies, with both our retail stores and e-commerce channels performing well. Importantly, we expanded our merchandise margin by 80 basis points, while maintaining disciplined expense control, which drove a 41% improvement in operating income and a 180 basis-point increase in operating margin to 11.2%. These results underscore the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and our team's ability to execute in a dynamic retail environment.”
Hazen further commented, “Following collaborative work with a third party, we are excited to announce that our updated market analysis reveals a significantly expanded Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) and store count potential. Our TAM is now estimated to be approximately $58 billion, with market growth across all categories. We now also believe we can operate 1,200 stores across the United States, an increase from our prior estimate of 900, which is more than double our current footprint. We are confident in our ability to capitalize on this expanded market opportunity while continuing to deliver strong returns for our stockholders."
Operating Results for the Second Quarter Ended September 27, 2025 Compared to the Second Quarter Ended September 28, 2024
| ● | Net sales increased 18.7% to $505.4 million from $425.8 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 8.4%, with retail store same store sales increasing 7.8% and e-commerce same store sales increasing 14.4%. 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 $184.1 million, or 36.4% of net sales, compared to $152.9 million, or 35.9% of net sales, in the prior-year period. 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 50 basis-point increase in gross profit rate was driven primarily by an 80 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate, partially offset by 30 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 and growth in exclusive brand penetration, partially offset by higher freight |

| expense. The deleverage in buying, occupancy and distribution center costs was primarily driven by the occupancy costs of new stores. |
| ● | Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $127.7 million, or 25.3% of net sales, compared to $112.9 million, or 26.5% 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 decreased by 120 basis points primarily as a result of lower corporate general and administrative expenses and legal expenses in the current-year period. |
| ● | Income from operations increased $16.4 million to $56.4 million, or 11.2% of net sales, compared to $40.0 million, or 9.4% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above. |
| ● | Income tax expense was $14.7 million, or a 25.8% effective tax rate, compared to $11.1 million, or a 27.4% effective tax rate, in the prior-year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to reductions in nondeductible expenses in the current-year period. |
| ● | Net income was $42.2 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.95 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 Six Months Ended September 27, 2025 Compared to the Six Months Ended September 28, 2024
| ● | Net sales increased 18.9% to $1.009 billion from $849.2 million in the prior-year period. Consolidated same store sales increased 8.9%, with retail store same store sales increasing 8.6% and e-commerce same store sales increasing 11.8%. 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 $381.4 million, or 37.8% of net sales, compared to $309.6 million, or 36.5% of net sales, in the prior-year period. 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 a 130 basis-point increase in merchandise margin rate. The increase in merchandise margin rate was primarily the result of better buying economies of scale and growth in exclusive brand penetration. |
| ● | SG&A expenses were $254.2 million, or 25.2% of net sales, compared to $219.4 million, or 25.8% 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, marketing expenses, and corporate general and administrative expenses in the current-year period. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 70 basis points primarily as a result of lower corporate general and administrative expenses and legal expenses in the current-year period. |
| ● | Income from operations increased $36.9 million to $127.1 million, or 12.6% of net sales, compared to $90.2 million, or 10.6% of net sales, in the prior-year period, primarily due to the factors noted above. |
| ● | Income tax expense was $32.6 million, or a 25.4% effective tax rate, compared to $22.7 million, or a 24.9% effective tax rate, in the prior-year period. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a lower income tax benefit from income tax accounting for stock-based compensation in the current-year period. |
| ● | Net income was $95.6 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, compared to $68.3 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the factors noted above. |

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 the Company’s 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 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 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 impact that import tariffs and other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S., China, or other countries have had, and may continue to have, on our product costs and changes to U.S.
4
or other countries’ trade policies and tariff and import/export regulations, including, without limitation, uncertainty with respect to the U.S. – China tariff deal; 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.

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 the 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 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., China, 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, including, without limitation, uncertainty with respect to the U.S. – China tariff deal; 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. |
