Description of the Company, Recent Developments and Basis of Presentation	1. Description of the Company, Recent Developments and Basis of Presentation Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the parent holding company of the group of operating subsidiaries that conduct the Boot Barn business, was formed on November 17, 2011, and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The equity of the Company consists of 100,000,000 authorized shares and 28,957,533 issued and 28,865,379 outstanding shares of common stock as of September 26, 2020. The shares of common stock have voting rights of one vote per share. The Company operates specialty retail stores and e-commerce websites that sell western and work boots and related apparel and accessories. The Company operates retail locations throughout the U.S. and sells its merchandise via the internet. The Company operated a total of 265 stores in 36 states as of September 26, 2020 and 259 stores in 35 states as of March 28, 2020. As of September 26, 2020, all stores operate under the Boot Barn name, with the exception of two stores that operate under the “American Worker” name. Recent Developments In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in Wuhan, China. Since first being reported, COVID-19 has spread to numerous countries around the world, including the U.S., resulting in the World Health Organization declaring the outbreak a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. As COVID-19 has continued to spread, public and private sector policies and initiatives intended to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, mandates from federal, state and local authorities to avoid large gatherings of people, quarantine or “shelter-in-place”, and the promotion of social distancing have significantly impacted the country. COVID-19 has had and will continue to have a significant impact on economic conditions and consumer confidence. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and consumer confidence. These and other effects make it more challenging for us to estimate the future performance of our business, particularly over the near-to-medium term. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including, among others, the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions, especially those taken by governmental authorities, to contain the pandemic or treat its impact. As events are rapidly changing, additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. For more information about the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could affect our future results, please see Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 22, 2020. As a result of COVID-19, traffic at our retail stores significantly declined beginning in the last three weeks of fiscal 2020 and continued through the start of fiscal 2021 as many state and local governments began implementing stay-at-home directives to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. On average, approximately 4 of our 265 stores were closed during the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2020. Except for temporary store closures due to COVID-19, all of our stores are currently open. We may be required to implement additional store closures in response to the future transmission of COVID-19. As a result of COVID-19, we have taken measures, as fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, to preserve liquidity and reduce expenses, while maintaining flexibility to resume full operations once we re-emerge from this global pandemic. While certain of these measures, including temporary salary reductions and most employee furloughs, are no longer in effect as of the date of this report, we continue to closely monitor ongoing developments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business. Basis of Presentation The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, consisting of Boot Barn, Inc., RCC Western Stores, Inc., Baskins Acquisition Holdings, LLC, Sheplers, Inc. and Sheplers Holding Corporation (collectively with Sheplers, Inc., “Sheplers”). All intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The vast majority of the Company’s identifiable assets are in the United States. 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 27, 2021. Fiscal Periods The Company reports its results of operations and cash flows on a 52- or 53-week basis ending on the last Saturday of March unless April 1st is a Saturday, in which case the fiscal year ends on April 1st. In a 52-week year, each quarter includes thirteen weeks of operations; in a 53-week fiscal year, the first, second and third quarters each include thirteen weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes fourteen weeks of operations. Both the fiscal year ending on March 27, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”) and the fiscal year ended on March 28, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) consist of 52 weeks.
