BOOT BARN HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the parent holding company of the group of operating subsidiaries that conduct the Boot Barn business, was formed on November 17, 2011, and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The equity of the Company consists of  i 100,000,000 authorized shares and  i 28,831,991 issued and  i 28,764,670 outstanding shares of common stock as of December 28, 2019. The shares of common stock have voting rights of  i one vote per share.

The Company operates specialty retail stores and e-commerce websites that sell western and work boots and related apparel and accessories. The Company operates retail locations throughout the U.S. and sells its merchandise via the internet. The Company operated a total of  i 251 stores in  i 33 states as of December 28, 2019 and  i 240 stores in  i 33 states as of March 30, 2019. As of December 28, 2019, all stores operate under the Boot Barn name, with the exception of  i two stores that operate under the “American Worker” name.

 i 

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, consisting of Boot Barn, Inc., RCC Western Stores, Inc., Baskins Acquisition Holdings, LLC, Sheplers, Inc. and Sheplers Holding Corporation (collectively with Sheplers, Inc., “Sheplers”) and Boot Barn International (Hong Kong) Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The vast majority of the Company’s identifiable assets are in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows in all material respects as of the dates and for the periods presented. The results of operations presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2020.

 i 

Fiscal Periods

The Company reports its results of operations and cash flows on a 52- or 53-week basis ending on the last Saturday of March unless April 1st is a Saturday, in which case the fiscal year ends on April 1st. In a 52-week year, each quarter includes thirteen weeks of operations; in a 53-week fiscal year, the first, second and third quarters each include thirteen weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes fourteen weeks of operations. Both the fiscal year ending on March 28, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) and the fiscal year ended on March 30, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”) consist of  i 52 weeks.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 24, 2019. Presented below in the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements.

7

Table of Contents 

 i 

Comprehensive Income

The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income recorded within its consolidated financial statements and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income in its consolidated financial statements.

 i 

Segment Reporting

GAAP has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments, including disclosures related to a company’s products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company’s retail stores and e-commerce websites represent  i two operating segments. Given the similar qualitative and economic characteristics of the two operating segments, the Company’s retail stores and e-commerce websites are aggregated into  i one reporting segment in accordance with guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). The Company’s operations represent two reporting units, retail stores and e-commerce, for the purpose of its goodwill impairment analysis.

 / 
 i 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Among the significant estimates affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements are those relating to revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, the Company’s future results of operations may be affected.

 i 

Inventories

Inventory consists primarily of purchased merchandise and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and includes the cost of merchandise and import-related costs, including freight, duty and agent commissions. The Company assesses the recoverability of inventory through a periodic review of historical usage and present demand. When the inventory on hand exceeds the foreseeable demand, the value of inventory that, at the time of the review, is not expected to be sold at or above cost is written down to its estimated net realizable value.

 i 

Fair Value of Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities defined by the guidance as financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. ASC 820 defines the fair value of financial instruments as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities.

Level 1 uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to

Table of Contents 

valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data.

Level 3 uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation. The Company’s Level 3 assets include certain acquired businesses and the evaluation of store impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be certain significant inputs that are readily observable. The Company believes that the recorded value of its financial instruments approximates their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or duration.

Although market quotes for the fair value of the outstanding debt arrangements discussed in Note 5, “Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt” are not readily available, the Company believes its carrying value approximates fair value due to the variable interest rates, which are Level 2 inputs. There were  i no financial assets or liabilities requiring fair value measurements on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued  i ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). The FASB issued this Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases and finance leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Enhanced disclosures are also required to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, allowing a modified retrospective approach, under which entities have the option to not restate comparative periods and instead recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amendments in these ASU’s are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within that year, beginning after December 15, 2018. The standards became effective for the Company beginning March 31, 2019, the first day of its fiscal 2020 year.

As a result of the adoption of the new accounting standard, the Company elected transition-related practical expedients as accounting policies which allowed it to not reassess, as of the adoption date, (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the classification of any expired or existing leases, and (3) if previously capitalized initial direct costs qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. The Company elected the practical expedient option to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases, and also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption that keeps leases with an initial term of 12 months or less excluded from balance sheet capitalization. This results in recognizing those lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of March 31, 2019, the first day of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $ i 164.5 million and lease liabilities of $ i 179.4 million upon adoption of this standard. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. Refer to Note 8, “Leases” for further discussion.

 i 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recorded for store sales upon the purchase of merchandise by customers. Transfer of control takes place at the point at which the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register. E-commerce sales are recorded when control transfers to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery of the product. Shipping and handling revenues are included in total net sales. Shipping costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold.

The Company maintains a customer loyalty program. Under the program, customers accumulate points based on purchase activity. For customers to maintain their active point balance, they must make a qualifying purchase of

merchandise at least once in a 365-day period. Once a loyalty program member achieves a certain point level, the member earns awards that may be redeemed for credits on merchandise purchases. To redeem awards, the member must make a qualifying purchase of merchandise within  i 60 days of the date the award was granted. Unredeemed awards and accumulated partial points are accrued as unearned revenue until redemption or expiration and, upon redemption and expiration, as an adjustment to net sales using the relative standalone selling price method. The unearned revenue for this program is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and was $ i 2.6 million as of December 28, 2019 and $ i 2.1 million as of December 29, 2018.

Revenue is recorded net of estimated and actual sales returns and deductions for coupon redemptions, estimated future award redemption and other promotions. The sales returns reserve reflects an estimate of sales returns based on projected merchandise returns determined through the use of historical average return percentages. The total reserve for returns is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for the asset and liability separately on a gross basis.

Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are deferred until the customers use the cards to acquire merchandise. Gift cards, gift certificates and store credits do not have expiration dates, and unredeemed gift cards, gift certificates and store credits are subject to state escheatment laws. Amounts remaining after escheatment are recognized in net sales in the period escheatment occurs and the liability is considered to be extinguished. The Company defers recognition of a layaway sale and its related profit to the accounting period when the customer receives the layaway merchandise. Income from the redemption of gift cards, gift card breakage, and the sale of layaway merchandise is included in net sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued  i ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under this new guidance, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and does not expect the revised standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Asset Acquisition and Business Combinations

G.&L. Clothing, Inc.

On August 26, 2019, Boot Barn, Inc. completed the acquisition of G.&L. Clothing, Inc. (“G.&L. Clothing”), an individually-owned retailer operating  i one store in Des Moines, Iowa. As part of the transaction, Boot Barn, Inc. purchased the inventory, entered into new leases with the store’s landlord and offered employment to the G.&L. Clothing team. The primary reason for the acquisition of G.&L. Clothing was to further expand the Company’s retail operations in Iowa. The cash consideration paid for the acquisition was $ i 3.7 million.

In allocating the purchase price, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The total fair value of consideration transferred for the acquisition was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition of G.&L. Clothing. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill.

The Company determined the estimated fair values using Level 3 inputs after review and consideration of relevant information, including quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The inventory was valued using the comparative sales method. Property and equipment, net, customer list and merchandise credits and other current liabilities were valued under either the cost or income approach. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the purchase price allocation:

Drysdales, Inc.

On July 3, 2018, Boot Barn, Inc. completed the acquisition of assets from Drysdales, Inc. (“Drysdales”), a retailer with  i two stores in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As part of the transaction, Boot Barn, Inc. purchased the inventory, entered into new leases with the stores’ landlord, offered employment to the Drysdales team at both store locations and assumed certain customer credits. The primary reason for the acquisition of Drysdales was to further expand the Company’s retail operations in Oklahoma. The cash consideration paid was $ i 3.8 million.

In allocating the purchase price, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. As the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, goodwill is not recognized, but rather any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets. 

The Company determined the estimated fair values using Level 3 inputs after review and consideration of relevant information, including quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The inventory was valued using the comparative sales method and the customer credits were valued using the cost approach. Based on the fair value analysis of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the inventory was valued at $ i 4.2 million, and the customer credits were valued at $ i 0.4 million.

Lone Star Western & Casual LLC

On April 24, 2018, Boot Barn, Inc. completed the acquisition of Lone Star Western & Casual LLC (“Lone Star”), an individually owned retail company with three stores in Waxahachie, Corsicana and Athens, Texas. As part of the transaction, Boot Barn, Inc. purchased the inventory, entered into new leases with the stores’ landlord and offered employment to the Lone Star team at all  i three store locations. The primary reason for the acquisition of Lone Star was to further expand the Company’s retail operations in Texas. The cash consideration paid for the acquisition was $ i 4.4 million.

In allocating the purchase price, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The total fair value of consideration transferred for the acquisition was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition of Lone Star. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill.

5. Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt

On June 29, 2015, the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned primary operating subsidiary, Boot Barn, Inc., refinanced a previous Wells Fargo credit facility with the $ i 125.0 million syndicated senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver”), is agent, and the $ i 200.0 million syndicated senior secured term loan for which GCI Capital Markets LLC (“2015 Golub Term Loan”) is agent. The borrowing base of the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver is calculated on a monthly basis and is based on the amount of eligible credit card receivables, commercial accounts, inventory, and available reserves.

Borrowings under the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver bear interest at per annum rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin for LIBOR loans, or (ii) the base rate plus an applicable margin for base rate loans. The base rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus  i 0.5%, (b) the Wells Fargo prime rate and (c) one-month LIBOR plus  i 1.0%. The applicable margin is calculated based on a pricing grid that in each case is linked to quarterly average excess availability. For LIBOR Loans, the applicable margin ranges from  i 1.00% to  i 1.25%, and for base rate loans it ranges from  i 0.00% to  i 0.25%. The Company also pays a commitment fee of  i 0.25% per annum of the actual daily amount of the unutilized revolving loans. The interest on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver is payable in quarterly installments ending on the maturity date. On May 26, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver (the “2017 Wells Amendment”), increasing the aggregate revolving credit facility to $ i 135.0 million and extending the maturity date to the earlier of May 26, 2022 or 90 days prior to the previous maturity of the 2015 Golub Term Loan, which was then scheduled to mature on June 29, 2021. On June 6, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (the “2019 Wells Amendment”), further increasing the aggregate revolving credit facility to $ i 165.0 million and extending the maturity date to the earlier of June 6, 2024 or 90 days prior to the maturity of the 2015 Golub Term Loan, which is currently scheduled to mature on June 29, 2023. The 2019 Wells Amendment further made changes to the 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver in connection with the transition away from LIBOR as the benchmark rate. The amount outstanding under the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver as of December 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019 was $ i 45.0 million and  i zero, respectively. Total interest expense incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver was $ i 0.9 million and $ i 2.4 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 was  i 3.2%. Total interest expense incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018 on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver was $ i 0.4 million and $ i 1.5 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018 was  i 3.6%.

Borrowings under the 2015 Golub Term Loan bear interest at per annum rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin for LIBOR loans with a LIBOR floor of  i 1.0%, or (b) the base rate plus an applicable margin for base rate loans. The base rate is calculated as the greater of (i) the higher of (x) the prime rate and (y) the federal funds rate plus  i 0.5% and (ii) the sum of one-month LIBOR plus  i 1.0%. The applicable margin is  i 4.5% for LIBOR Loans and  i 3.5% for base rate loans. The principal and interest on the 2015 Golub Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments ending on the maturity date, which was originally June 29, 2021 but is now June 29, 2023. Quarterly principal payments of $ i 500,000 are due for each quarter; however, on June 2, 2017, the Company prepaid $ i 10.0 million on the 2015 Golub Term Loan, which included all of the required quarterly principal payments until the maturity date of the loan. On May 15, 2018, the Company made an additional $ i 10.0 million prepayment on the 2015 Golub Term Loan. On June 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the 2015 Golub Term Loan (the “2019 Golub Amendment”) which extended the maturity date to June 29, 2023. At the time of the Third Amendment, the company also prepaid $ i 65.0 million of the term loan facility, reducing the outstanding principal balance to $ i 111.5 million. The 2019 Golub Amendment further made changes to the 2015 Golub Term Loan in connection with the transition away from LIBOR as the benchmark rate. Total interest expense incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 on the 2015 Golub Term Loan was $ i 1.9 million and $ i 6.7 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 was  i 6.6%. Total interest expense

Table of Contents 

incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018 on the 2015 Golub Term Loan was $ i 3.1 million and $ i 9.3 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018 was  i 6.9%.

All obligations under each of the 2015 Golub Term Loan and the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries) which are not named as borrowers under the 2015 Golub Term Loan or the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver, as applicable.

The priority with respect to collateral under each of the 2015 Golub Term Loan and the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver is subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement among the lenders under the 2015 Golub Term Loan and the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver.

Each of the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver and the 2015 Golub Term Loan contains customary provisions relating to mandatory prepayments, restricted payments, voluntary payments, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. In addition, the terms of the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver require the Company to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least  i 1.00:1.00 during such times as a covenant trigger event shall exist. On May 26, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2015 Golub Term Loan (the “2017 Golub Amendment”). The 2017 Golub Amendment changed the maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio requirements to  i 4.00:1.00 as of December 29, 2018 and for all subsequent periods. The 2019 Golub Amendment maintains the same maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio requirements. The June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver and 2015 Golub Term Loan also require the Company to pay additional interest of  i 2.0% per annum upon triggering certain specified events of default set forth therein. For financial accounting purposes, the requirement for the Company to pay a higher interest rate upon an event of default is an embedded derivative. As of December 28, 2019, the fair value of these embedded derivatives was estimated and was not significant. As of December 28, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver and the 2015 Golub Term Loan debt covenants.

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount

Debt issuance costs totaling $ i 1.2 million were incurred under the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver, 2017 Wells Amendment and 2019 Wells Amendment and are included as assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Total unamortized debt issuance costs were $ i 0.4 million and $ i 0.3 million as of December 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, respectively. These amounts are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver.

Debt issuance costs and debt discount totaling $ i 7.1 million were incurred under the 2015 Golub Term Loan, 2017 Golub Amendment and 2019 Golub Amendment and are included as a reduction of the current and non-current notes payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount were $ i 2.7 million and $ i 2.2 million as of December 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plans

On January 27, 2012, the Company approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan authorized the Company to issue options to employees, consultants and directors exercisable for up to a total of  i 3,750,000 shares of common stock. As of December 28, 2019, all awards granted by the Company under the 2011 Plan have been nonqualified stock options. Options granted under the 2011 Plan have a life of  i 10 years and vest over service periods of  i five years or in connection with certain events as defined by the 2011 Plan.

On October 19, 2014, the Company approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended as of August 24, 2016 (as amended, the “2014 Plan”). Following the approval of the 2014 Plan, no further grants have been made under the 2011 Plan. The 2014 Plan authorizes the Company to issue awards to employees, consultants and directors for up to a total of  i 3,600,000 shares of common stock. As of December 28, 2019, all awards granted by the Company under the 2014 Plan to date have been nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or performance share units. Options granted under the 2014 Plan have a life of eight to  i ten years and vest over service periods of four or  i five years or in connection with certain events as defined by the 2014 Plan. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2014 Plan vest over one or  i four years, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. Restricted stock units vest over service periods of one, four or  i five years, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors.

Non-Qualified Stock Options

On May 20, 2019, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") an option to purchase  i 227,273 shares of common stock under the 2014 Plan. This option contains both service and market vesting conditions. Vesting of this option is contingent upon the market price of the Company's common stock achieving  i three stated price targets for 30 consecutive trading days through the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. If the first market price target is met,  i 33% of the option granted will cliff vest on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, with an additional  i 33% of the option vesting if the second market price target is met, and the last  i 34% of the option vesting if the final market price target is met. The total grant date fair value of this option was $ i 2.0 million, with a grant date fair value of $ i 8.80 per share. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to this stock option on a straight-line basis over the  i four-year service period. The exercise price of this award is $ i 28.63 per share.

The total grant date fair value of stock options granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 was $ i 1.3 million, with a grant date fair value of $ i 11.19 per share. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these stock options on a straight-line basis over the  i four-year service period of the awards. The exercise price of these awards is $ i 28.63 per share.

During the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018, the Company did not grant options to purchase shares under the 2014 Plan.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018, the Company granted certain members of management options to purchase a total of  i 264,691 shares under the 2014 Plan. The total grant date fair value of stock options granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018 was $ i 2.4 million, with a grant date fair value ranging from $ i 8.90 to $ i 11.11 per share. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these stock options on a straight-line basis over the  i four-year service period of the awards. The exercise price of these awards range between $ i 23.92 and $ i 29.73 per share.

The stock option awards discussed above were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield, if any. The Company will issue shares of common stock when the options are exercised.

 i 

The fair values of stock options granted during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 were estimated on the grant dates using the following assumptions:

(1)The Company has limited historical information regarding expected option term. Accordingly, the Company determined the expected life of the options using the simplified method.
(2)Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s competitors’ common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the Company’s awards.
(3)The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term.

 / 

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the fiscal quarter and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of each fiscal period.

Performance Share Units

During the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019, the Company did not grant any performance share units. During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019, the Company granted  i 38,546 performance share units to various employees under the 2014 Plan with a grant date fair value of $ i 28.63 per share.

The performance share units granted are stock-based awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the Company's performance against its cumulative earnings per share target over a  i three-year performance period beginning March 31, 2019 and ending March 26, 2022. These performance metrics were established by the Company at the beginning of the performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of performance shares to be issued is fixed based upon the degree of achievement of the performance goals. If the cumulative three-year performance goals are below the threshold level, the number of performance units to vest will be  i 0%, if the performance goals are at the threshold level, the number of performance units to vest will be  i 50% of the target amounts, if the performance goals are at the target level, the number of performance units to vest will be  i 100% of the target amounts, and if the performance goals are at the maximum level, the number of performance units to vest will be  i 200% of the target amounts, each subject to continued service through the last day of the performance period (subject to certain exceptions). If performance is between threshold and target goals or between target and maximum goals, the number of performance units to vest will be determined by linear interpolation. The number of shares ultimately issued can range from  i 0% to  i 200% of the participant's target award.

The grant date fair value of the performance share units granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 was initially measured using the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant with the resulting stock compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. The expense recognized over the vesting period is adjusted up or down on a quarterly basis based on the anticipated performance level during the performance period. If the performance metrics are not probable of achievement during the performance period, stock compensation expense would be reversed. The awards are forfeited if the threshold performance goals are not achieved as of the end of the performance period.

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018, the Company did not grant any performance share units.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense was $ i 1.2 million and $ i 0.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $ i 3.3 million and $ i 2.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense of $ i 0.2 million and $ i 0.1 million was recorded in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense of $ i 0.5 million and $ i 0.3 million was recorded in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. All other stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 28, 2019, there was $ i 5.4 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of  i 2.91 years. As of December 28, 2019, there was $ i 3.6 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units, with a weighted-average remaining recognition period of  i 2.81 years.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation that is incidental to its business. The Company has reviewed these matters to determine if reserves are required for losses that are probable and reasonable to estimate in

19

Table of Contents 

accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. The Company evaluates such reserves, if any, based upon several criteria, including the merits of each claim, settlement discussions and advice from outside legal counsel, as well as indemnification of amounts expended by the Company’s insurers or others pursuant to indemnification policies or agreements, if any.

The Company is also subject to certain other pending or threatened litigation matters incidental to its business. In management's opinion, none of these legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

During the normal course of its business, the Company has made certain indemnifications and commitments under which the Company may be required to make payments for certain transactions. These indemnifications include those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility leases, and indemnifications to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The majority of these indemnifications and commitments do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make, and their duration may be indefinite. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnifications and commitments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the impact is expected to be immaterial.

 i 

8. Leases

The Company does not own any real estate. Instead, most of its retail store locations are occupied under operating leases. The store leases generally have a base lease term of five or  i 10 years, with  i one or more renewal periods of  i five years, on average, exercisable at the Company’s option. The Company is generally responsible for the payment of property taxes and insurance, utilities and common area maintenance fees. Some leases also require additional payments based on percentage of sales. Lease terms include the non-cancellable portion of the underlying leases along with any reasonably certain lease periods associated with available renewal periods, termination options and purchase options.

Operating and finance lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the fixed lease payments using the Company's incremental borrowing rates for its population of leases. Related operating and finance lease ROU assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by cash payments received from landlords as lease incentives, plus any prepaid rent and other direct costs from executing the leases. Amortization of both operating and finance lease ROU assets is performed on a straight-line basis and recorded as part of rent expense in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The interest expense amortization component of the finance lease liabilities is recorded within interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. ROU assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are recognized as lease expense as they are incurred.

9. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). In accordance with ASC 740, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the liability method, which requires an adjustment to the deferred tax asset or liability to reflect income tax rates currently in effect. When income tax rates increase or decrease, a corresponding adjustment to income tax expense is recorded by applying the rate change to the cumulative temporary differences. ASC 740 prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement principles for

22

Table of Contents 

financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. ASC 740 requires the Company to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recognized. Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on recognition measurement, derecognition, classification, related interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The income tax rate was  i 22.1% and  i 24.8% for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively, and  i 21.3% and  i 14.7% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 include $ i 1.1 million of tax benefit due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation compared to a lower tax benefit of less than $ i 0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. The thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 include $ i 1.9 million of tax benefit due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation compared to a higher tax benefit of $ i  i 3.6 /  million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. To this end, the Company has considered and evaluated its sources of taxable income, including forecasted future taxable income, and the Company has concluded that a valuation allowance is primarily required for certain state net operating losses and credits it expects to expire unused. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance at each period end.

The Company’s policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At December 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, the Company had  i  i no /  accrued liability for penalties and interest.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. At December 28, 2019, the Company is not aware of tax examinations (current or potential) in any tax jurisdictions.

10. Related Party Transactions

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the Company had capital expenditures with Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc., a specialty retail vendor in the flooring market. These capital expenditures amounted to $ i 0.2 million and $ i 0.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. These capital expenditures amounted to $ i 0.5 million and $ i 0.4 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively, and were recorded as property and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain members of the Company’s board of directors either currently serve on the board of directors or as an executive officer at Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc.

11. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds from such exercise and unamortized compensation, if any, on share-based awards, are assumed to be used by the Company to purchase the shares of common stock at the average market price during the period. The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock is applicable only in periods of net income. Performance share units and market-based stock option awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share until their respective performance or market criteria has been achieved.

Many of the items that we offer are basics or necessities for our customers’ daily lives and typically represent enduring styles that are not meaningfully impacted by changing fashion trends.

We strive to offer an authentic, one-stop shopping experience that fulfills the everyday lifestyle needs of our customers, and as a result, many of our customers make purchases in both the western and work wear sections of our stores. We target a broad and growing demographic, ranging from passionate western and country enthusiasts, to workers seeking dependable, high-quality footwear and apparel. Our broad geographic footprint, which comprises approximately three times as many stores as our nearest direct competitor that sells primarily western and work wear, provides us with significant economies of scale, enhanced supplier relationships, the ability to recruit and retain high quality store associates and the ability to reinvest in our business at levels that we believe exceed those of our competition.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators we use to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of our business are net sales and gross profit. In addition, we also review other important metrics, such as same store sales, new store openings, and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), as well as the non-GAAP financial measures, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and earnings before interest and taxes, adjusted to exclude certain items (“Adjusted EBIT”). See “—EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT” below for more information and “—Results of Operations” for a reconciliation of these measures to net income.

Net sales

Net sales reflect revenue from the sale of our merchandise at retail locations, as well as sales of merchandise through our e-commerce websites. We recognize revenue upon the purchase of merchandise by customers at our stores and upon delivery of the product in the case of our e-commerce websites. Net sales also include shipping and handling fees for e-commerce shipments that have been delivered to our customers. Net sales are net of returns on sales during the period as well as an estimate of returns and award redemptions expected in the future stemming from current period sales. Revenue from the sale of gift cards is deferred until the gift cards are used to purchase merchandise.

Our business is moderately seasonal and as a result our revenues fluctuate from quarter to quarter. In addition, our revenues in any given quarter can be affected by a number of factors including the timing of holidays, weather patterns, rodeos and country concerts. The third quarter of our fiscal year, which includes the Christmas shopping season, has historically produced higher sales and disproportionately larger operating income than the other quarters of our fiscal year. However, neither the western nor the work component of our business has been meaningfully impacted by fashion trends or seasonality historically. We believe that many of our customers are driven primarily by utility and brand, and our best-selling styles.

Same store sales

The term “same store sales” refers to net sales from stores that have been open at least 13 full fiscal months as of the end of the current reporting period, although we include or exclude stores from our calculation of same store sales in accordance with the following additional criteria:

stores that are closed for five or fewer days in any fiscal month are included in same store sales;
stores that are closed temporarily, but for more than five days in any fiscal month, are excluded from same store sales beginning in the fiscal month in which the temporary closure begins (and for the comparable periods of the prior or subsequent fiscal periods for comparative purposes) until the first full month of operation once the store re-opens;
stores that are closed temporarily and relocated within their respective trade areas are included in same store sales;
stores that are permanently closed are excluded from same store sales beginning in the month preceding closure (and for the comparable periods of the prior or subsequent fiscal periods for comparative purposes); and
acquired stores are added to same store sales beginning on the later of (a) the applicable acquisition date and (b) the first day of the first fiscal month after the store has been open for at least 13 full fiscal months regardless of whether the store has been operated under our management or predecessor management.

If the criteria described with respect to acquired stores above are met, then all net sales of such acquired store, excluding those net sales before our acquisition of that store, are included for the period presented. However, when an acquired store is included for the period presented, the net sales of such acquired store for periods before its acquisition are included (to the extent relevant) for purposes of calculating “same store sales growth” and illustrating the comparison between the applicable periods. Pre-acquisition net sales numbers are derived from the books and records of the acquired company, as prepared prior to the acquisition, and have not been independently verified by us. Beginning on their respective dates of acquisition, sales from the acquired Wood’s Boots stores, Lone Star stores, Drysdales stores and G.&L. Clothing store have been included in same store sales.

In addition to retail store sales, same store sales also includes e-commerce sales, e-commerce shipping and handling revenue and actual retail store or e-commerce sales returns. Sales as a result of an e-commerce asset acquisition, such as Country Outfitter, are excluded from same store sales until the 13th full fiscal month subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of such assets.

We exclude gift card escheatment, provision for sales returns and estimated future loyalty award redemptions from sales in our calculation of net sales per store.

Measuring the change in year-over-year same store sales allows us to evaluate how our store base is performing. Numerous factors affect our same store sales, including:

national and regional economic trends;
our ability to identify and respond effectively to regional consumer preferences;
changes in our product mix;
changes in pricing;
competition;
changes in the timing of promotional and advertising efforts;
holidays or seasonal periods; and
weather.

Opening new stores is an important part of our growth strategy and we anticipate that a percentage of our net sales in the near future will come from stores not included in our same store sales calculation. Accordingly, same store sales are only one measure we use to assess the success of our business and growth strategy. Some of our competitors and other retailers may calculate “same” or “comparable” store sales differently than we do. As a result, data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding our same store sales may not be comparable to similar data made available by other retailers.

New store openings

New store openings reflect the number of stores, excluding acquired stores, that are opened during a particular reporting period. In connection with opening new stores, we incur pre-opening costs. Pre-opening costs consist of costs incurred prior to opening a new store and primarily consist of manager and other employee payroll, travel and training costs, marketing expenses, initial opening supplies and costs of transporting initial inventory and certain fixtures to store locations, as well as occupancy costs incurred from the time that we take possession of a store site to the opening of that store. Occupancy costs are included in cost of goods sold and the other pre-opening costs are included in SG&A expenses. All of these costs are expensed as incurred.

New stores often open with a period of high sales levels, which subsequently decrease to normalized sales volumes. In addition, we experience typical inefficiencies in the form of higher labor, advertising and other direct operating expenses, and as a result, store-level profit margins at our new stores are generally lower during the start-up period of operation. The number and timing of store openings has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our results of operations. In assessing the performance of a new store, we review its actual sales against the sales that we projected that store to achieve at the time we initially approved its opening. We also review the actual number of stores opened in a fiscal year against the number of store openings that we included in our budget at the beginning of that fiscal year.

Gross profit

Gross profit is equal to our net sales less our cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of merchandise, obsolescence and shrinkage provisions, store and warehouse occupancy costs (including rent, depreciation and utilities), inbound and outbound freight, supplier allowances, occupancy-related taxes, compensation costs for merchandise purchasing and warehouse personnel, and other inventory acquisition-related costs. These costs are significant and can be expected to continue to increase as we grow. The components of our reported cost of goods sold may not be comparable to those of other retail companies, including our competitors.

Our gross profit generally follows changes in net sales. We regularly analyze the components of gross profit, as well as gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Specifically, we examine the initial markup on purchases, markdowns and reserves, shrinkage, buying costs, distribution costs and occupancy costs. Any inability to obtain acceptable levels of initial markups, a significant increase in our use of markdowns or in inventory shrinkage, or a significant increase in freight and other inventory acquisition costs, could have an adverse impact on our gross profit and results of operations.

Gross profit is also impacted by shifts in the proportion of sales of our exclusive brand products compared to third-party brand products, as well as by sales mix changes within and between brands and major product categories such as footwear, apparel or accessories.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Our SG&A expenses are composed of labor and related expenses, other operating expenses and general and administrative expenses not included in cost of goods sold. Specifically, our SG&A expenses include the following:

Labor and related expenses - Labor and related expenses include all store-level salaries and hourly labor costs, including salaries, wages, benefits and performance incentives, labor taxes and other indirect labor costs.
Other operating expenses - Other operating expenses include all operating costs, including those for advertising, pay-per-click, marketing campaigns, operating supplies, utilities, and repairs and maintenance, as well as credit card fees and costs of third-party services.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses include expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support the development and operations of our stores, including compensation and benefits, travel expenses, corporate occupancy costs, stock compensation costs, legal and professional fees, insurance and other related corporate costs.

The components of our SG&A expenses may not be comparable to those of our competitors and other retailers. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods as a result of incremental share-

based compensation, legal, and accounting-related expenses and increases resulting from growth in the number of our stores.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are important non-GAAP financial measures used by our management, board of directors and lenders to assess our operating performance. We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT as key performance measures because we believe that they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by the impact of variations from period to period in tax positions, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, as well as, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-cash expenses, such as stock-based compensation and the non-cash accrual for future award redemptions, and other costs and expenses that are not directly related to our operations, including loss on disposal of assets, gain on adjustment of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, store impairment charges and secondary offering costs. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT excludes the aforementioned adjustments while maintaining the impact of depreciation and amortization on our financial results. See “Results of Operations” below for a reconciliation of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we also use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT for business planning purposes, in determining incentive compensation for members of our management and in evaluating acquisition opportunities. Our credit facilities also require us to use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT in calculating covenant compliance. In addition, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of financial performance and debt-service capabilities. Given that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are measures not deemed to be in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry, because other companies may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT in a different manner than we calculate these measures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in the Fiscal 2019 10-K.

Certain of our accounting policies and estimates are considered critical, as these policies and estimates are the most important to the depiction of our consolidated financial statements and require significant, difficult or complex judgments, often about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Fiscal 2019 10-K. As of the date of this filing, there were no significant changes to any of the critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Fiscal 2019 10-K.

Results of Operations

We operate on a fiscal calendar that results in a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday of March unless April 1st is a Saturday, in which case the fiscal year ends on April 1st. In a 52-week fiscal year, each quarter includes thirteen weeks of operations; in a 53-week fiscal year, the first, second and third quarters each include thirteen weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes fourteen weeks of operations. Both the fiscal year ending on March 28, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) and the fiscal year ended on March 30, 2019 (“fiscal 2019”) consist of 52 weeks. We identify our fiscal years by reference to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends.

Thirteen Weeks Ended December 28, 2019 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended December 29, 2018

Net sales. Net sales increased $30.0 million, or 11.8%, to $284.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $254.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. Consolidated same store sales increased 6.7%. Excluding the impact of the 11.0% increase in e-commerce same store sales, same store sales increased by 5.7%. Net sales increased during the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 due to the increase in same store sales and sales from stores added over the past twelve months.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $11.4 million, or 13.3%, to $97.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $85.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 34.2% and 33.7% for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. Gross profit increased primarily due to increased sales and an increase in merchandise margin rate. As a percentage of net sales, consolidated gross profit primarily increased as a result of a 50 basis point increase in merchandise margin rate. The higher merchandise margin was driven by growth in exclusive brand penetration.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses increased $5.7 million, or 10.1%, to $62.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $56.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 21.9% and 22.2% for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily a result of additional costs to support higher sales and expenses for both new and acquired stores. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased by 30 basis points primarily as a result of expense leverage on higher sales.

Income from operations. Income from operations increased $5.7 million, or 19.4%, to $35.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $29.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations was 12.3% and 11.5% for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in income from operations was attributable to the factors noted above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $3.2 million and $4.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The decrease in interest expense, net was primarily the result of a lower 2015 Golub Term Loan balance in the current-year period relative to the prior-year period, partially offset by a higher outstanding balance on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver in the current-year period.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $7.0 million and $6.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 22.1% and 24.8% for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 is lower than the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to a $1.1 million tax benefit due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation compared to a lower tax benefit of less than $0.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018.

Net income. Net income increased $5.8 million to $24.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019, from $19.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the factors noted above.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT. Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.4 million, or 20.7%, to $42.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $35.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. Adjusted EBIT increased $6.4 million, or 20.8%, to $37.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $30.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT was primarily a result of the year-over-year increase in income from operations driven by an increase in gross profit and a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales.

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended December 28, 2019 Compared to Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended December 29, 2018

Net sales. Net sales increased $72.8 million, or 12.5%, to $656.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $584.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. Consolidated same store sales

Table of Contents 

increased 7.8%. Excluding the impact of the 7.4% increase in e-commerce same store sales, same store sales increased by 7.9%. Net sales increased during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 due to the increase in same store sales and sales from stores added over the past twelve months.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $30.5 million, or 16.2%, to $218.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $188.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 33.3% and 32.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. Gross profit increased primarily due to increased sales and an increase in merchandise margin rate. As a percentage of net sales, consolidated gross profit primarily increased as a result of a 120 basis point increase in merchandise margin rate, partially offset by 10 basis points of deleverage in buying and occupancy costs. The higher merchandise margin was driven by better full-price selling and growth in exclusive brand penetration.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses increased $14.4 million, or 10.2%, to $154.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $140.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 23.5% and 24.0% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily a result of additional costs to support higher sales and expenses for both new and acquired stores. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased by 50 basis points primarily as a result of expense leverage on higher sales.

Income from operations. Income from operations increased $16.1 million, or 33.8%, to $64.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $47.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations was 9.7% and 8.2% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in income from operations was attributable to the factors noted above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $10.4 million and $12.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The decrease in interest expense, net was primarily the result of a lower 2015 Golub Term Loan balance in the current-year period relative to the prior-year period, partially offset by a higher outstanding balance on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver in the current-year period.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $11.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 compared to income tax expense of $5.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. Our effective tax rate was 21.3% and 14.7% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 is higher than the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to a $1.9 million tax benefit due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation compared to a higher tax benefit of $3.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018.

Net income. Net income increased $11.9 million to $42.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019, from $30.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the factors noted above.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT. Adjusted EBITDA increased $18.7 million, or 28.7%, to $83.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $65.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. Adjusted EBIT increased $16.9 million, or 32.9%, to $68.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 from $51.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT was primarily a result of the year-over-year increase in income from operations driven by an increase in gross profit and a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We rely on cash flows from operating activities and our credit facilities as our primary sources of liquidity. Our primary cash needs are for inventories, operating expenses, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and remodeling or refurbishing existing stores, improvements to our distribution facilities, marketing and information technology expenditures, debt service and taxes. We have also used cash for acquisitions, the subsequent rebranding and

32

Table of Contents 

integration of the stores acquired in those acquisitions and costs to consolidate the corporate offices. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the most significant components of our working capital are accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. We believe that cash flows from operating activities and the availability of cash under our credit facilities or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to cover working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures and other anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Our liquidity is moderately seasonal. Our cash requirements generally increase in our third fiscal quarter as we increase our inventory in advance of the Christmas shopping season.

We are planning to continue to open new stores, remodel and refurbish our existing stores, and make improvements to our e-commerce and information technology infrastructure, which will result in increased capital expenditures. We estimate that our total capital expenditures in fiscal 2020 will be between $30.0 million to $32.0 million (including the capital expenditures made during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019), net of landlord tenant allowances, and we anticipate that we will use cash flows from operations to fund these expenditures.

June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver and 2015 Golub Term Loan

On June 29, 2015, we, as guarantor, and our wholly-owned primary operating subsidiary, Boot Barn, Inc., refinanced a previous Wells Fargo credit facility with the $125.0 million syndicated senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver”), is agent, and the $200.0 million syndicated senior secured term loan for which GCI Capital Markets LLC (“2015 Golub Term Loan”) is agent. The borrowing base of the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver is calculated on a monthly basis and is based on the amount of eligible credit card receivables, commercial accounts, inventory, and available reserves.

Borrowings under the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver bear interest at per annum rates equal to, at our option, either (i) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin for LIBOR loans, or (ii) the base rate plus an applicable margin for base rate loans. The base rate is calculated as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Wells Fargo prime rate and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The applicable margin is calculated based on a pricing grid that in each case is linked to quarterly average excess availability. For LIBOR Loans, the applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.25%, and for base rate loans it ranges from 0.00% to 0.25%. We also pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the actual daily amount of the unutilized revolving loans. The interest on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver is payable in quarterly installments ending on the maturity date. On May 26, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver (the “2017 Wells Amendment”), increasing the aggregate revolving credit facility to $135.0 million and extending the maturity date to the earlier of May 26, 2022 or 90 days prior to the previous maturity of the 2015 Golub Term Loan, which was then scheduled to mature on June 29, 2021. On June 6, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (the “2019 Wells Amendment”), further increasing the aggregate revolving credit facility to $165.0 million and extending the maturity date to the earlier of June 6, 2024 or 90 days prior to the maturity of the 2015 Golub Term Loan, which is currently scheduled to mature on June 29, 2023. The 2019 Wells Amendment further made changes to the 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver in connection with the transition away from LIBOR as the benchmark rate. The amount outstanding under the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver as of December 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019 was $45.0 million and zero, respectively. Total interest expense incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver was $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 was 3.2%. Total interest expense incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018 on the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver was $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018 was 3.6%.

Borrowings under the 2015 Golub Term Loan bear interest at per annum rates equal to, at our option, either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin for LIBOR loans with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%, or (b) the base rate plus an applicable margin for base rate loans. The base rate is calculated as the greater of (i) the higher of (x) the prime rate and (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (ii) the sum of one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The applicable margin is 4.5% for LIBOR Loans and 3.5% for base rate loans. The principal and interest on the 2015 Golub Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments ending on the maturity date, which was originally June 29, 2021 but is now June 29, 2023. Quarterly principal payments of $500,000 are due for each quarter; however, on June 2, 2017, the Company prepaid $10.0 million

33

Table of Contents 

on the 2015 Golub Term Loan, which included all of the required quarterly principal payments until the maturity date of the loan. On May 15, 2018, the Company made an additional $10.0 million prepayment on the 2015 Golub Term Loan. On June 6, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the 2015 Golub Term Loan (the “2019 Golub Amendment”) which extended the maturity date to June 29, 2023. At the time of the Third Amendment, the company also prepaid $65.0 million of the term loan facility, reducing the outstanding principal balance to $111.5 million. The 2019 Golub Amendment further made changes to the 2015 Golub Term Loan in connection with the transition away from LIBOR as the benchmark rate. Total interest expense incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 28, 2019 on the 2015 Golub Term Loan was $1.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2019 was 6.6%. Total interest expense incurred in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 29, 2018 on the 2015 Golub Term Loan was $3.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2018 was 6.9%.

All obligations under each of the 2015 Golub Term Loan and the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver are unconditionally guaranteed by us and each of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries) which are not named as borrowers under the 2015 Golub Term Loan or the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver, as applicable.

The priority with respect to collateral under each of the 2015 Golub Term Loan and the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver is subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement among the lenders under the 2015 Golub Term Loan and the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver.

Each of the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver and the 2015 Golub Term Loan contains customary provisions relating to mandatory prepayments, restricted payments, voluntary payments, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. In addition, the terms of the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver require the Company to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 during such times as a covenant trigger event shall exist. On May 26, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2015 Golub Term Loan (the “2017 Golub Amendment”). The 2017 Golub Amendment changed the maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio requirements to 4.00:1.00 as of December 29, 2018 and for all subsequent periods. The 2019 Golub Amendment maintains the same maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio requirements. The June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver and 2015 Golub Term Loan also require us to pay additional interest of 2.0% per annum upon triggering certain specified events of default as set forth therein. For financial accounting purposes, the requirement for us to pay a higher interest rate upon an event of default is an embedded derivative. As of December 28, 2019, the fair value of these embedded derivatives was estimated and was not significant.

As of December 28, 2019, we were in compliance with the June 2015 Wells Fargo Revolver and the 2015 Golub Term Loan debt covenants.

As of December 28, 2019, there were no other material changes in the market risks described in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risks” section of the Fiscal 2019 10-K.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 28, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 28, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 28, 2019, no changes occurred with respect to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

For information on legal proceedings, see Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies”, to our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results or cash flows, including the updated risk set forth below, as well as the risks contained in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Fiscal 2019 10-K.

Most of our merchandise is produced in foreign countries, making the price and availability of our merchandise susceptible to international trade risks and other international conditions.

The majority of our private brand products are manufactured in foreign countries, including Mexico and China. In addition, we purchase most of our third-party branded merchandise from domestic suppliers that have a large portion of their merchandise made in foreign countries.

The countries, specifically Mexico and China, in which our merchandise currently is manufactured or may be manufactured in the future could become subject to trade restrictions imposed by the U.S., including increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes and customs restrictions, which could increase the cost or reduce the supply of products available to us and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Recently, uncertainty has increased regarding tax and trade policies, border adjustments, tariffs and government regulations affecting trade

36

Table of Contents 

between the U.S. and other countries, such as Mexico and China. This includes the possibility of the imposition of tariffs or penalties on products manufactured outside the United States, including several tariffs on a variety of products from China imposed or threatened by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative in 2018 ranging from 10-25%. China has already announced a plan to impose tariffs on a wide range of American products in retaliation for such American tariffs. There is also a concern that the imposition of additional tariffs by the United States could result in the adoption of tariffs by other countries as well. Such tariffs on imports from foreign countries, as well as changes in tax and trade policies such as a border adjustment tax or disallowance of certain tax deductions for imported merchandise, if enacted, could materially increase our manufacturing costs, the costs of our imported merchandise or our income tax expense, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any tariffs by China or other foreign countries on imports of our products could also adversely affect our international e-commerce sales. Any increase in our manufacturing costs, the cost of our merchandise or limitation on the amount of merchandise we are able to purchase, or any decrease in our international e-commerce sales, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, public health issues affecting China, Mexico or another foreign country from which a large portion of our third-party and private brand merchandise is purchased and imported, including the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus respiratory illness first identified in Wuhan, China, may result in the temporary closure of our suppliers’ facilities or shipping ports, resulting in product delivery delays. This impact on our supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
