Read MoreHide Full Article
Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (BOOT - Free Report) reports stellar preliminary results for the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Management cited that quarterly results surpassed expectations, with same-store sales (comps) growth in mid-single digits. In fact, retail-store comps reverted to positive in spite of the ongoing pandemic-induced uncertainties, thus contributing to the overall comps performance. Notably, the company’s e-commerce business also remained sturdy.
Management also stated that merchandise strategies, supply-chain management and disciplined promotional activity contributed to a robust full-price selling and higher merchandise margin.
Encouragingly, this lifestyle retailer of western and work-related footwear, apparel and accessories highlighted that net sales increased 6.5% to nearly $302.3 million for the quarter ended Dec 26, 2020. Moreover, same-store sales grew 4.6% for fiscal third quarter. Same-store sales included retail stores’ same-store sales growth of about 1.9% and e-commerce sales increase of roughly16.3%.
Further, earnings of approximately $1.00 per share, up from 85 cents recorded in the prior-year period, included gains of about 1 cent due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation. Excluding the tax benefit for both periods, earnings per share increased 22.2% to 99 cents, higher than 81 cents registered in the year-ago period.
We note that the aforesaid preliminary results are subjected to the completion of normal quarter-end accounting practices and closing adjustments. Owing to the prevailing pandemic-induced uncertainties, management did not issue outlook for fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal 2021. Nonetheless, Boot Barn said that the fourth quarter kicked off to a solid start, and it remains well poised to end the fiscal year on a good note.
A glimpse of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company’s price performance shows that its shares have skyrocketed 160.2% over the past six months, outshining its industry’s 119.9% rally. The company is benefiting from its strategic endeavors, and is witnessing strength in its business model. Moreover, the work boots category has been performing impressively.
