Read MoreHide Full Article

Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (BOOT - Free Report) is likely to see top-line improvement when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings results on Jul 27, after the market closes. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its quarterly revenues is pegged at $367.6 million, indicating an improvement of almost 20% from the year-ago figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings currently stands at $1.15, which suggests a decline of 8.7% from 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 been helping 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 a robust merchandise margin driven by improved full-price selling.

On its last earnings call, management had projected same-store sales growth of 10% and revenues of $367 million for the first quarter. It guided income from operations of $47 million or 12.8% of sales for the quarter under discussion.

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.
