Read MoreHide Full Article

Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (BOOT - Free Report) is likely to see top- and bottom-line improvement when it reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings results on May 10, after the market closes. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its quarterly revenues is pegged at $345.2 million, indicating an improvement of almost 33.3% from the year-ago figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings currently stands at $1.30, which suggests a sharp improvement from earnings of 75 cents a share reported in the year-ago period. The consensus mark has been stable over the past 30 days.

Key Factors to Note

Boot Barn Holdings has been successfully navigating through the challenging environment, courtesy of merchandising strategies, omni-channel capabilities and better expense management. This, combined with the expansion of the store base and exclusive brand penetration, has helped it gain market share and, in turn, revenues.

The company has been seeing strength in both store and online channels. Management has been boosting the omni-channel offerings to enhance customers' experience through buy online pickup in-store, buy online curbside pickup, in-store fulfillment, same-day delivery, and buy online return in-store.

It has been witnessing robust merchandise margin driven by improved full-price selling and lower promotions. It has been seeing strength in categories like kids' boots, hats and belts, as well as both men's and ladies' western apparel. Non-flame resistant work apparel has also been showing positive momentum.

While the aforesaid factors boost optimism, ongoing supply chain issues and rising freight costs remain concerns. Also, any deleverage in SG&A expenses due to higher store payroll, rise in store overhead, and increased marketing expenses might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter's margins.
