Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BOOT) today announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2017.
Highlights for the quarter ended December 30, 2017, were as follows:
Jim Conroy, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We experienced solid sales growth during the third quarter and through January driven by the combination of a healthier consumer environment and solid execution across the company. Our retail stores led our growth with improvements in our marketing, merchandising, and in-store initiatives. I am very pleased with our holiday performance as we drove sales growth without relying on outsized sales promotion, resulting in an increase to merchandise margin. At the same time, we continue to build out our multi-brand e-commerce strategy, having advanced some important capital projects in our fulfillment center. While these investments resulted in some temporary disruption to e-commerce revenue and unanticipated labor and freight costs during the peak holiday season, I believe we are well positioned to build our market share on this platform going forward. I am pleased with the current tone of business and believe we can continue to further expand our market share as we reaccelerate new store openings and capitalize on our advanced omni-channel capabilities.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company presents adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA to help the Company describe its operating and financial performance. These financial measures are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be construed in isolation or as an alternative to actual income from operations, actual net income, and actual earnings per diluted share and other income or cash flow statement data (as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP), or as a better indicator of operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with transparency and help illustrate financial results by excluding items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company’s core operating results, thereby providing a better baseline for analyzing trends in the underlying business. See the table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of adjusted income from operations to income from operations, adjusted net income to net income, and adjusted net income per diluted share to net income per diluted share. Additionally, see the table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, as well as Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the Company’s loan agreements, to net income.
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 and the Company’s ability to effectively execute on its growth strategy; the failure to maintain and enhance its strong brand image; inability to compete effectively; failure to maintain good relationships with its key suppliers; and inability 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.
