Boot Barn Holdings Reports Strong Q1 2027 Performance with Revenue Growth and Strategic Expansion
Boot Barn Holdings reported first-quarter performance that exceeded expectations, driven by an 18% revenue increase. This growth was supported by the opening of 27 new stores and strong sales across most merchandise categories. The work boots segment continued to perform well for the fifth consecutive quarter due to remerchandising efforts and targeted marketing. Management attributed a slowdown in July same-store sales to external factors, such as fewer stadium country music tours and World Cup matches affecting customer traffic. Merchandise margin expansion was significantly aided by $14.7 million in tariff refunds and improved buying efficiencies. New stores are performing well with an average annual revenue of $3.2 million. For the full year, management expects a 4% increase in same-store sales as event calendars normalize. The company plans to open 70 new stores this fiscal year while aiming for long-term expansion to 1,200 locations nationwide.
