Analysis · BOOT · Trade & Services
A standout Q1 saw sales climb 17.7% to $593.5M and EPS reach $2.29, comfortably ahead of expectations. At the same time, the company amended its credit agreement, doubling the revolving facility from $250M to $500M and pushing the maturity out to 2031 — a meaningful liquidity boost that underpins its ambitious store rollout. Reflecting confidence in demand despite a softer July, management raised full-year guidance to 14–16% sales growth and EPS of $8.80–$9.23. With $139M in cash and nothing drawn on the facility, the expanded credit line gives Boot Barn ample firepower for 70 planned new stores and its $200M buyback program.
