2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 30, 2014. Presented below in the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, including Boot Barn, Inc., RCC Western Stores, Inc. (“RCC”) and Baskins Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“Baskins”). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows in all material respects as of the dates and for the periods presented. The results of operations presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2015.
Fiscal Year
The Company reports its results of operations and cash flows on a 52- or 53-week basis, and its fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to March 31. The years ending March 29, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”) and March 30, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) each consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal quarters contain thirteen weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of a 53-week fiscal year, which contains fourteen weeks. The second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 ended on September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively.
Comprehensive Income
The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income (loss) recorded within its consolidated financial statements and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income (loss) in its consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting
GAAP has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments, including disclosures related to a company’s products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company operates in a single operating segment, which includes net sales generated from its retail stores and e-commerce website. All of the Company’s identifiable assets are in the U.S.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Among the significant estimates affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements are those relating to revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. As of September 27, 2014, the Company had identified no indicators of impairment with respect to its goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset balances. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, the Company’s future results of operations may be affected.
Fair Value of Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”) which requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities defined by the guidance as financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. ASC 820 defines the fair value of financial instruments as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities.
· |
Level 1 uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
· |
Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. |
· |
Level 3 uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation. |
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are valued at fair value and are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be certain significant inputs that are readily observable. The Company believes that the recorded value of its financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or duration.
Although market quotes for the fair value of the outstanding debt arrangements discussed in Note 4, “Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt” are not readily available, the Company believes its carrying value approximates fair value due to the variable interest rates, which are Level 2 inputs. There were no financial assets or liabilities requiring fair value measurements as of September 27, 2014 on a recurring basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)”. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions, in which case such an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. The amendments in this ASU do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Companies may choose to apply this guidance retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The Company adopted this ASU on March 30, 2014, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment ” and “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. The ASU amendment changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. The amendment is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the ASU, its adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue From Contracts with Customers”. The ASU amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled to when products are transferred to customers. The Company is required to adopt this new standard for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The new revenue accounting standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the ASU, its adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In August 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to the evaluation of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendment establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. The update also gives guidance to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance will be effective for us as of December 15, 2016. The new guidance is not expected to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

3.Business Combinations
Baskins Acquisition Holdings, LLC
Effective May 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the member interests in Baskins, including 30 stores and an online retail website. Baskins was a specialty western retailer with stores in Texas and Louisiana, and the acquisition expanded the Company’s operations into these core markets. All of the acquired Baskins stores were subsequently converted into Boot Barn stores. The goodwill represents the additional amounts paid in order to expand the Company’s geographical presence.
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $37.7 million, which consisted of $36.0 million in cash and $1.7 million of contingent consideration. The $36.0 million of cash included $13.7 million paid to the members of Baskins, $2.2 million paid into an escrow account and $20.1 million to repay Baskins’ outstanding debt. These payments were partially offset by $1.9 million, which represents the amount of cash on hand immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition. As of September 27, 2014, $1.7 million remained in an escrow account and is not included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Due to the nature of the escrow account, the cash portion of the consideration transferred was determined only provisionally and was subject to change pending the outcome of any escrow claims. Claims against the escrow account could have been made until November 30, 2014, but no claims were made as of that date.
The Company was obligated to make additional earnout payments, contingent on the achievement of milestones relating to 12-month store sales associated with three new stores for the periods beginning January 24, 2013, January 31, 2013 and February 20, 2013 at each of the three stores. The maximum amount payable upon achievement of the milestones was $2.1 million. Each of the milestones was achieved, and the Company made a cash payment of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. As of the acquisition date, the Company estimated that these earnout payments would be $1.7 million, based on then existing facts and circumstances. The estimated fair value of this earnout was determined by using revenue projections and applying a discount rate to reflect the risk of the underlying conditions not being satisfied, such that no payment would be due. The fair value measurement of the earnout was based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. A total of $0.4 million from the revaluation of contingent consideration was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 to selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
The total fair value of consideration transferred for the acquisition was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Such estimated fair values require management to make estimates and judgments, especially with respect to intangible assets. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based on the purchase price (in thousands):

Definite-lived intangible assets are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date with amortization computed utilizing the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, with the exception of customer lists, which are amortized based on the estimated attrition rate. The period of amortization for trademarks is six months, non-compete agreements is four to five years, customer lists is five years, and below-market leases is two to 17 years. For leases under market rent, amortization is based on the discounted future benefits from lease payments under market rents.
Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $0.7 million of acquisition-related costs during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2013. The amount of net revenue and net income of Baskins included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date to September 28, 2013 were $17.0 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
Supplemental As Adjusted Data (Unaudited)
The unaudited as adjusted statements of operations data below gives effect to the Baskins acquisition, as well as the Company’s acquisition of RCC on August 31, 2012, as if they had all occurred as of March 30, 2013. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Baskins, RCC and Boot Barn Holding Corporation to reflect the effects of amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquired inventory valuation step-up, additional financing as of April 3, 2011 in order to complete the acquisitions, income tax expense and other transaction costs directly associated with the acquisitions such as legal, accounting and banking fees. The adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Pre-acquisition net sales and net income numbers for acquired entities are derived from their books and records prepared prior to the acquisition. This as adjusted data is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results of future operations or of the results that would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place as of the date noted above.

4.Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt
Revolving Credit Facility (PNC Bank, N.A.)
On December 11, 2011, the Company obtained a collateral-based revolving line of credit with PNC Bank, N.A. (the ‘‘PNC Line of Credit’’), which the Company amended on August 31, 2012 and May 31, 2013. On April 15, 2014, the Company amended the PNC Line of Credit to increase the borrowing capacity from $60.0 million to up to $70.0 million. All other material terms of the PNC Line of Credit remained unchanged. The PNC Line of Credit is to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, and has a maturity date of May 31, 2018. The available borrowing under the PNC Line of Credit is based on the collective value of eligible inventory and credit card receivables multiplied by specific advance rates, and is recalculated monthly. The PNC Line of Credit bears interest at (1) 0.75% if the amount of borrowings are less than 60% of the maximum borrowing capacity or 1.00% if the total borrowings are greater than 60% of the maximum borrowing capacity, plus (2) the highest of the bank’s public lending rate, federal funds open rate plus 0.50%, or the LIBOR rate for a period of one month plus 1.00%. The Company can also elect to use the Eurodollar rate plus 0.75% if the amount of borrowings is less than 60% of the maximum borrowing capacity or 1.00% if the total borrowings are greater than 60% of the maximum borrowing capacity. As of September 27, 2014, the total amount available to borrow was $17.9 million and the outstanding balance was $51.9 million. The outstanding borrowings as of September 27, 2014 consisted of $49.0 million outstanding at a rate of 1.9% and $2.9 million outstanding at a rate of 4.0%. Total interest expense incurred on the PNC Line of Credit for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
The PNC Line of Credit includes certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. The financial covenants include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio only when ‘‘excess availability’’ falls below specified floor levels, while nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on a number of other activities. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of September 27, 2014.
$130 Million Term Loan Due May 2019 (Golub Capital LLC)
The Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Golub Capital LLC on May 31, 2013, as amended by the first amendment to term loan and security agreement dated September 23, 2013 (the “Golub Loan”). On April 14, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated term loan and security agreement for the Golub Loan. The amended and restated loan and security agreement increased the borrowings on the Golub Loan from $99.2 million to $130.0 million. The obligations under the Golub Loan are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the Company’s guarantors’ assets. A provision allowing the Company to conduct an initial public offering was also added to the amended and restated loan and security agreement. As of September 27, 2014, the principal on the Golub Loan was payable in quarterly installments of $327,000 made each calendar quarter and ending on the maturity date of the Golub Loan, which is May 31, 2019. The balance of the unpaid principal will be paid on the maturity date. All other material terms of the Golub Loan remain unchanged from the May 31, 2013 Golub Loan. The proceeds of the amendment to the Golub Loan were used to fund a portion of the $39.9 million dividend that was paid in April 2014. See Note 5 “Stock-based compensation”. The outstanding balance of the Golub Loan was $129.7 million at September 27, 2014.
Interest on the Golub Loan is paid quarterly and is calculated on either a base rate or the LIBOR rate. The base rate is a floating interest rate that is the sum of 4.75% plus the higher of (1) the prime rate, (2) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1% with a LIBOR floor of 1.25% or (3) the Federal Funds rate, plus 50 basis points. The LIBOR rate is 5.75%, plus the LIBOR rate for a period of one, two, three, six, or, if available to all lenders, nine or 12 months (with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%), as elected by the Company. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each quarter. Interest charges are computed on the actual principal outstanding. As of September 27, 2014, the interest rate on the Golub Loan was 7.0%. Total interest expense incurred on the Golub Loan was $2.3 million and $6.4 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014, respectively.
The Golub Loan requires the Company to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants. Financial covenants include a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio. In addition, the term loan agreement also limits the amount that the Company can spend on capital expenditures per year. The Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants as of September 27, 2014. The Golub Loan also requires, at the lender’s discretion, that 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow, as defined in the Golub Loan agreement, be used to make prepayments of outstanding loan amounts. The Company is also subject to early termination fees in certain instances of voluntary prepayments of the Golub Loan in excess of $10.0 million.
If there is an event of default under the Golub Loan, the principal and the interest accrued thereon may be declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions set forth in the amended and restated term loan and security agreement. Events of default under the Golub Loan include, but are not limited to, the Company becoming delinquent in making certain payments due under the Golub Loan, the Company incurring certain events of default with respect to other indebtedness or obligations, the Company undergoing a change in control or the Company becoming subject to certain bankruptcy proceedings or orders. As of September 27, 2014, no events of default had occurred.
$20 Million Term Loan (PNC Bank, N.A.)
The Company entered into a loan and security agreement with PNC Bank N.A. on December 11, 2011, as amended by the first amendment to term loan agreement dated August 31, 2012 (the “PNC Term Loan”). The PNC Term Loan included a term loan facility of $20.0 million. Interest accrued on outstanding amounts under the PNC Term Loan at the rate of 7.5% per annum, due monthly. Effective October 1, 2012, monthly principal payments of $166,667 were required. In connection with the closing of the Golub Loan in May 2013, the Company converted all outstanding amounts on the PNC Term Loan to borrowings under the PNC Line of Credit.
Senior Subordinated Term Loans (Related Party Term Loans)
On December 11, 2011, the Company obtained senior subordinated term loans from certain subordinated lenders, in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million, bearing interest at the rate of 12.5%, due quarterly. The subordinated lenders were related parties. On August 31, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $25.5 million from the subordinated lenders. See Note 8, “Related party transactions”. In connection with the closing of the Golub Loan in May 2013, the Company paid off all outstanding amounts on its senior subordinated term loans.
The Company incurred approximately $4.0 million of deferred loan fees related to the issuance of the Golub Loan and the PNC Line of Credit, which are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loan through May 31, 2019. The remaining balance of deferred loan fees as of September 27, 2014 is $3.2 million, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets (current portion) and other assets (long-term portion) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Aggregate contractual maturities for the Company’s line of credit and long-term debt as of September 27, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

5.Stock-Based Compensation
On January 27, 2012, the Company approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan authorized the Company to issue options to employees, consultants and directors to purchase up to a total of 3,750,000 shares of common stock. As of September 27, 2014, all awards granted by the Company have been nonqualified stock options. Options granted under the 2011 Plan have a life of 10 years and vest over service periods of five years or in connection with certain events as defined by the 2011 Plan.
On April 11, 2014, the Company declared and subsequently paid a pro rata cash dividend to its stockholders totaling $39.9 million, made a cash payment of $1.4 million to holders of vested options, and lowered the exercise price of 1,918,550 unvested options by $2.00 per share. The cash payments totaling $41.3 million reduced retained earnings to zero and reduced additional paid-in capital by $39.7 million. The 2011 Plan has nondiscretionary antidilution provisions that require the fair value of the option awards to be equalized in the event of an equity restructuring. Consequently, the board of directors of the Company was obligated under the antidilution provisions to approve the reduction of the exercise price on the unvested options and make the cash payment to the holders of vested options. No incremental stock-based compensation expense was recognized for the dividend for the vested options or reduction in exercise price for the unvested options.
During the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014, the Company granted certain members of management options to purchase a total of 237,500 shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan. The total grant date fair value of stock options granted in the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 was $1.5 million, with grant date fair values ranging from $6.20 to $6.36 per share. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these stock options on a straight-line basis over the five-year service period of the awards. The exercise prices of these awards range between $11.14 and $11.40. No stock options were granted during the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2014.
During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2013, the Company granted certain members of management options to purchase a total of 200,000 shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan. The total grant date fair value of the stock options was $1.4 million, all with a grant date fair value $6.92 per share. The Company is recognizing the expense relating to these stock option on a straight-line basis over the five-year service period of the awards. The exercise price of all these awards is $7.18 per share.
The fair values of stock options granted during the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 were estimated on the grant dates using the following assumptions:

|
(1) |
The Company has limited historical information regarding expected option term. Accordingly, the Company determined the expected life of the options using the simplified method. |
(2) |
Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s competitors’ common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the Company’s awards. |
(3) |
The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term. |
(4) |
The board of directors paid a dividend to stockholders in April 2014. The Company’s board of directors does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. |
The stock option awards discussed above were measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term and the Company’s expected annual dividend yield, if any. The Company’s estimate of pre-vesting forfeitures, or forfeiture rate, was based on its internal analysis, which included the award recipients’ positions within the Company and the vesting period of the awards. The Company will issue shares of common stock when the options are exercised.
Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the market price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the fiscal quarter and the weighted average exercise price of in-the-money stock options outstanding at the end of each fiscal period. The estimated market value per share was $13.57 and $11.40 at September 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014, respectively.

The grant date weighted-average exercise price reflects the reduction of the exercise price by $2.00 per share for the 1,918,550 unvested options that were part of the April 2014 dividend discussed above. |
Stock-based compensation expense was $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively and $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million was recorded in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, and $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for each of the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. All other stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 27, 2014, there was $6.5 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options. This cost has a weighted-average remaining recognition period of 2.2 years.

6.Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has employment agreements with three key officers of the Company. One of the employment agreements expires in November 2015. This agreement automatically renews for successive one-year terms and will continue to do so unless otherwise terminated. The two other employment agreements do not expire. The employment agreements, together with a letter agreement between one of these officers and the Company, provide for minimum salary levels and incentive bonuses that are payable under certain business conditions, as well as guaranteed payments in the event of termination of employment in certain circumstances. The future amounts payable under these employment agreements and this letter agreement have not been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 27, 2014 and March 29, 2014.
The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation that is incidental to its business. The Company has reviewed these matters to determine if reserves are required for losses that are probable and reasonable to estimate in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. The Company evaluates such reserves, if any, based upon several criteria, including the merits of each claim, settlement discussions and advice from outside legal counsel, as well as indemnification of amounts expended by the Company’s insurers or others, if any. In management’s opinion, none of these legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
During the normal course of its business, the Company has made certain indemnifications and commitments under which the Company may be required to make payments for certain transactions. These indemnifications include those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility leases, and indemnifications to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The majority of these indemnifications and commitments do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make, and their duration may be indefinite. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnifications and commitments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows as the impact is expected to be immaterial.
|
7.Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates to be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse. Because management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the full amount of the net deferred tax assets, the Company has not recorded any valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets.
The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for discrete events occurring in a particular period. The effective income tax rate was 39.8% and 37.5% for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, and 44.2% and 37.4% for the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. The effective tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 are higher than their comparable periods in fiscal 2014 due to increased income before income taxes and $0.2 million of discrete items recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

8.Related Party Transactions
Leases and Other Transactions
The Company has a lease agreement for one of its stores at a location owned by one minority stockholder of the Company. The Company paid less than $0.1 million for these leases during both of the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, and $0.1 million for both of the twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013. These lease payments are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Related Party Loans
As of March 30, 2013, the Company had notes payable (see Note 4, “Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt”) to the subordinated lenders who own common stock of the Company. These notes were paid in full in May 2013. Interest and early termination fees paid to these entities totaled $3.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2013.

10.Subsequent Events
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation
On October 19, 2014, the Company’s board of directors authorized the amendment of its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. In addition, the amendment of the certificate of incorporation authorized the Company to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and effect a 25-for-1 stock split of its outstanding common stock. The amendment became effective on October 27, 2014. Accordingly, all common share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the 25-for-1 stock split as though it had occurred at the beginning of the initial period presented.
Initial Public Offering
On October 29, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it issued and sold 5,000,000 shares of its common stock. In addition, on October 31, 2014, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares of common stock from the Company to cover over-allotments. As a result, the total IPO size was 5,750,000 shares of common stock sold by the Company at a price of $16.00 per share.
Capitalized Offering Costs
As of September 27, 2014, the Company had capitalized $2.0 million of offering costs associated with the IPO, which were recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Upon the completion of the IPO, these offering costs, in addition to any offering costs incurred subsequent to September 27, 2014, were reclassified to additional paid-in capital and offset against the IPO proceeds.
2014 Equity Incentive Plan
On October 19, 2014, the Company approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan authorized the Company to issue options to employees, consultants and directors to purchase up to a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. All awards granted by the Company to date have been nonqualified stock options or restricted stock awards.
Principal Payment On Golub Loan
On November 5, 2014, the Company used $81.9 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to pay down the principal balance on the Golub Loan. The Company incurred a pre-payment penalty of $0.6 million and accelerated amortization of deferred loan fees of $1.7 million, which was recorded to interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The principal balance will be repaid in quarterly installments of $119,953 made each calendar quarter beginning December 31, 2014 and ending on the maturity date of May 31, 2019.
Amendments to Credit Facilities
On November 5, 2014, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “PNC Amendment”) to the PNC Line of Credit and an amendment (the “Golub Amendment”) to the Golub Loan. The PNC Amendment and the Golub Amendment each (a) permit certain addbacks to the definition of “EBITDA” (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) relating to expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s recently consummated IPO and the preparation of the Amendments, (b) revise the “Change of Control” definition and the covenant restricting certain equity issuances to be more customary for a publicly traded company, (c) delete the equity cure provisions, and (d) change the financial statement deliverable requirements, and timing, to align with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure requirements. In addition, the Golub Amendment reduced the applicable LIBOR Floor to 1.00% and changed the current interest rate from 7.00% to 6.75%.
|
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, including Boot Barn, Inc., RCC Western Stores, Inc. (“RCC”) and Baskins Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“Baskins”). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows in all material respects as of the dates and for the periods presented. The results of operations presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 28, 2015.
Fiscal Year
The Company reports its results of operations and cash flows on a 52- or 53-week basis, and its fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to March 31. The years ending March 29, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”) and March 30, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) each consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal quarters contain thirteen weeks, with the exception of the fourth quarter of a 53-week fiscal year, which contains fourteen weeks. The second quarter of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 ended on September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively.
Comprehensive Income
The Company does not have any components of other comprehensive income (loss) recorded within its consolidated financial statements and, therefore, does not separately present a statement of comprehensive income (loss) in its consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting
GAAP has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments, including disclosures related to a company’s products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company operates in a single operating segment, which includes net sales generated from its retail stores and e-commerce website. All of the Company’s identifiable assets are in the U.S.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Among the significant estimates affecting the Company’s consolidated financial statements are those relating to revenue recognition, inventories, goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. As of September 27, 2014, the Company had identified no indicators of impairment with respect to its goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset balances. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, the Company’s future results of operations may be affected.
Fair Value of Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”) which requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities defined by the guidance as financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. ASC 820 defines the fair value of financial instruments as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure that is based on the extent and level of judgment used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities.
· |
Level 1 uses unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
· |
Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable through correlation with market data. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs to valuation models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment because the inputs used in the model, such as interest rates and volatility, can be corroborated by readily observable market data. |
· |
Level 3 uses one or more significant inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity, and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation. |
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are valued at fair value and are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 even though there may be certain significant inputs that are readily observable. The Company believes that the recorded value of its financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or duration.
Although market quotes for the fair value of the outstanding debt arrangements discussed in Note 4, “Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt” are not readily available, the Company believes its carrying value approximates fair value due to the variable interest rates, which are Level 2 inputs. There were no financial assets or liabilities requiring fair value measurements as of September 27, 2014 on a recurring basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)”. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions, in which case such an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. The amendments in this ASU do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Companies may choose to apply this guidance retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The Company adopted this ASU on March 30, 2014, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment ” and “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. The ASU amendment changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20. The amendment is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the ASU, its adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue From Contracts with Customers”. The ASU amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled to when products are transferred to customers. The Company is required to adopt this new standard for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The new revenue accounting standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the ASU, its adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
In August 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to the evaluation of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendment establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. The update also gives guidance to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance will be effective for us as of December 15, 2016. The new guidance is not expected to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has limited historical information regarding expected option term. Accordingly, the Company determined the expected life of the options using the simplified method. |
(2) |
Stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s competitors’ common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option term of the Company’s awards. |
(3) |
The risk-free interest rate is determined using the rate on treasury securities with the same term. |
(4) |
The board of directors paid a dividend to stockholders in April 2014. The Company’s board of directors does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. |
