Current report
The plaintiffs filed a petition for review before the Oregon Supreme Court on April 14, 2025, preventing the Circuit Court judge from entering the declaratory judgment pending a decision of the Oregon Supreme Court on whether to grant the petition for review. On June 12, 2025, the Oregon Supreme Court granted the petition for review and the case is now in the process of being briefed by the parties to the litigation. Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for November 6, 2025, and we anticipate a decision in the case will be rendered by the Oregon Supreme Court in late 2026. The permanent injunction entered by the Circuit Court Judge will continue to remain in effect pending the decision of the Oregon Supreme Court in this case.
Current report
On a parallel track, on July 24, 2025, the Governor of Oregon signed Oregon Senate Bill 243 into law. Among other things, this bill delayed the implementation date of the ballot measure until March 15, 2026. Accordingly, even if the Oregon Supreme Court upholds the Oregon Court of Appeals’ holding that the ballot measure is not facially unconstitutional between November 7, 2025 and March 14, 2026, the ballot measure will not be implemented prior to March 15, 2026. On the other hand, if the Oregon Supreme Court has not ruled on the matter by March 15, 2026, the Circuit Court judge’s permanent injunction of the ballot measure will continue to remain in effect and further delay implementation of the ballot measure indefinitely.
Current report
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $3.9 million, or 4.4%, to $93.9 million during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to $90 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 32.0% during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025, compared to 31.2% for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. The margin improvement was primarily driven by stronger product margins from healthier inventory and increased sales in the Fishing department. These gains were partially offset by a mix shift toward lower-margin firearms and ammunition, which have a lower gross margin, reduced camping sales, and higher freight costs from an intentional inventory pull-forward to be on-time and ready for the key late summer and fall hunting seasons.
Current report
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 3.0%, to $97.2 million during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025, compared to $94.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. This increase was primarily the result of increased payroll expense of $1.9 million during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to 33.1% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to 32.7% of net sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The increase, as a percentage of net sales, was due to a reinvestment in customer-facing areas of the business, including store labor and digital marketing to grow sales and omni-channel traffic.
Current report
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.6 million, or 18.8%, to $3.8 million during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025, compared to $3.2 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by increased borrowings under the revolving line of credit and term loan facilities during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024.

Previous wording
Recent changes in international trade policy and the implementation of increased tariff rates have caused substantial uncertainty with respect to our inventory cost. If some of the proposed and current changes to international trade and tariff policy are implemented or continue for a significant length of time, we will experience a material increase in our inventory costs, especially in our Hunting and Shooting and Optics, Electronics, Accessories and Other departments. We cannot predict the ultimate impact of such changes on our financial results for the remainder of fiscal year 2025 and beyond since such policies remain highly dynamic and evolving. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we purchased additional inventory in anticipation of increased tariff rates and we expect to purchase additional strategic inventory in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 in anticipation of further tariff rate increases to be prepared for the hunting and holiday seasons. We will continue to consider other means to mitigate the impact of increased tariff rates, including by seeking alternative sourcing of our products and by negotiating with our suppliers to absorb a portion of increased costs due to changes in tariff rates and trade policy; however, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in such efforts.

Previous wording
For instance, in November 2022, Oregon passed a ballot measure that amended Oregon law to prohibit private citizens from manufacturing, importing, possessing, using, purchasing, selling or transferring a magazine capable of holding (or being readily converted to hold) over ten rounds of ammunition. Additionally, this ballot measure also imposed complex permitting and training requirements for the purchase and sale of firearms. On December 6, 2022, a state Circuit Court judge in Oregon preliminarily enjoined the implementation of the ballot measure. On November 21, 2023, the Circuit Court judge permanently enjoined implementation of the ballot measure upon a determination that the ballot measure was facially unconstitutional under Oregon's state constitution. On March 12, 2025, the Oregon Court of Appeals reversed the state Circuit Court judge's permanent injunction, holding that the ballot measure was in fact facially constitutional under Oregon's state constitution. The Oregon Court of Appeals ordered the Circuit Court judge to enter a declaratory judgment consistent with the Court of Appeals’ decision. On April 14, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a petition for review before the Oregon Supreme Court.

Previous wording
We believe the injunction of the Oregon ballot measure remains temporarily in effect pending a determination on the plaintiff’s petition for review before the Oregon Supreme Court. There is also a pending bill in the Oregon House (HB 3075) that seeks to delay and modify the implementation of the ballot measure’s permitting requirement and establish certain exemptions. This ballot measure is also being challenged in a related case in federal court that is presently on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. However, due to a recent ruling upholding a similar magazine capacity restriction case in California (Virginia Duncan, et al. v. Rob Bonta, No. 23-55805 (9th Cir. 2023)), we believe it is unlikely that the ballot measure will be struck down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Previous wording
While we believe the injunction of the Oregon ballot measure remains in effect until the Oregon Supreme Court decides on the plaintiff’s petition for review, the ballot measure could still be found constitutional and implemented in its current form. We currently operate eight stores in the State of Oregon. If the ballot measure is allowed to take effect, whether because the Oregon Supreme Court denies the petition for review or ultimately upholds the Oregon Court of Appeals March 12, 2025 order, sales of firearms in Oregon may be halted or substantially diminished unless all permitting and training programs are fully developed by the state and/or law enforcement agencies at the time the ballot measure takes effect. If delays in establishing such permitting and training programs occur, it could result in a substantial decline in our sales of firearms and related products and reduce traffic to our stores in Oregon, which would significantly impact on our sales and gross margin.

If the Oregon Supreme Court upholds the Oregon Court of Appeals March 12, 2025 order and the ballot measure is allowed to take effect on or after March 15, 2026 , sales of firearms in Oregon may be halted or substantially diminished unless all permitting and training programs are fully developed by the state and/or law enforcement agencies at the time the ballot measure takes effect. If delays in establishing such permitting and training programs occur, it could result in a substantial decline in our sales of firearms and related products and reduce traffic to our stores in Oregon, which would significantly impact on our sales and gross margin. It is still unclear what measures the State of Oregon has undertaken thus far to set up the permitting and training infrastructure called for in the ballot measure.

During fiscal year 2024 and continuing into the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, elevated inflation has adversely impacted our gross margins. In fiscal year 2025, we anticipate modest improvements in our gross margins, driven by continued careful management of variable expenses. However, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, these improvements were negatively impacted by our decision to pull forward inventory purchases in anticipation of increased tariffs.

Net Sales and Same Store Sales. Net sales increased by $4.9 million, or 2.0%, to $249.1 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 compared to $244.2 million in the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. Our net sales increased primarily due to increased sales in our Fishing and Hunting and Shooting departments as we continue to emphasize inventory in-stocks to ensure we have the right inventory at the right location at the right time.
Current wording
Net Sales and Same Store Sales. Net sales increased by $5.2 million, or 1.8%, to $293.9 million during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to $288.7 million in the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. Our net sales increased primarily due to increased sales in our Fishing and Hunting and Shooting departments as we continue to emphasize inventory in-stocks to ensure we have the right inventory at the right location at the right time. E-commerce driven sales comprised more than 19% of total sales for the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 and increased by approximately 3% compared to the corresponding period in fiscal year 2024. Same store sales increased by 2.1% during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to the corresponding 13-week period of fiscal year 2024, primarily as a result of our inventory management and digital marketing efforts.
Previous wording
Our Fishing, Hunting and Shooting, Apparel and Footwear departments saw net sales increases of $3.0 million, $2.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024 primarily driven by increased unit sales due to our continued emphasis on maintaining sufficient inventory in-stocks of core items. Our Camping and Optics, Electronics, Accessories and Other departments saw net sales decreases of $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. We believe these decreases reflected the impact of broader macroeconomic conditions discussed above. We also believe our Camping department was impacted by the later spring and the timing of the Easter holiday. Within our Hunting and Shooting department, our ammunition category saw an increase of $0.5 million or 1.3% and our firearm category saw a decrease of $0.1 million or 0.1% during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. The increase in the ammunition category was primarily due to our efforts to ensure every day low pricing in key ammunition groups. The decrease in our firearms category was primarily driven by a shift in consumer behavior to lower cost firearms, however, we continued to consistently outpace the adjusted NICS background check data and gain market share within the firearm space.

Our Hunting and Shooting and Fishing departments saw net sales increases of $5.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024 primarily driven by increased unit sales due to our continued emphasis on maintaining sufficient inventory in-stocks of core items. Our Camping, Footwear, Apparel and Optics, Electronics, Accessories and Other departments saw net sales decreases of $4.7 million, $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. We believe these decreases reflected the impact of broader macroeconomic conditions discussed above. Within our Hunting and Shooting department, our ammunition category saw an increase of $3.6 million or 10.0%, while our firearm category remained relatively flat during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. The increase in the ammunition category was primarily due to our efforts to ensure every day low pricing in key ammunition groups and improved in-stocks on core products. The leveling in our firearms category was primarily driven by a shift in consumer behavior to lower cost firearms, offset by increased unit sales. We continue to consistently outpace the adjusted NICS background check data, gaining market share within the firearm space.

With respect to same store sales, during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, our Fishing, Apparel, Hunting and Shooting and Footwear departments saw increases of 11.0%, 5.6%, 1.5% and 1.4%, respectively, compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. Our Camping and Optics, Electronics, Accessories and Other departments saw same store sales decreases of 5.8% and 1.3%, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. These changes were primarily driven by the items noted above for net sales. As of May 3, 2025, 146 stores were included in our same store sales calculation.
Current wording
With respect to same store sales, during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025, our Fishing, Hunting and Shooting and Optics, Electronics, Accessories and Other departments saw increases of 10.9%, 4.0% and 2.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024.

Our effective tax rates during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024 were 5.9% and 23.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0%, due to state taxes, permanent items, and discrete items relating to stock award deductions.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $1.9 million, or 2.5%, to $75.6 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025 compared to $73.8 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 30.4% during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, compared to 30.2% for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024, primarily driven by favorable mix and rate improvements in our fishing business, which carries a higher gross margin rate profile.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 0.9%, to $95.3 million during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, compared to $94.4 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. This increase was primarily the result of increased payroll and rent expenses of $2.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $1.2 million and $0.5 million in other operating and depreciation expenses, respectively. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 38.2% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared to 38.6% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, reflecting ourcontinued focus on expense management and fixed cost leverage gained from higher sales.

This increase was primarily the result of increased payroll expense of $4.2 million during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025, reflecting our reinvestment into customer facing and sales driving areas of the business. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million and $0.5 million in depreciation and other operating expenses, respectively.

We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under our revolving credit facility and term loan facility will be sufficient to finance our operating activities and meet our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months and beyond. With only one new store planned for fiscal year 2025, we intend to prioritize the repayment of outstanding debt with any excess cash flow.

Capital Expenditures. During the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, we incurred approximately $3.8 million in capital expenditures primarily related to strategic technological investments and general store maintenance. We expect capital expenditures between $20 million and $25 million for fiscal year 2025 (inclusive of amounts spent during the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025) primarily related to strategic technological investments, such as planogramming, merchandising and replenishment and store scheduling tools, and general store fleet maintenance. We intend to fund these capital expenditures with our operating cash flows, cash on hand and funds available under our revolving credit facility. Other investment opportunities, such as potential strategic acquisitions or store expansion rates in excess of those presently planned, may require additional funding.

Principal and Interest Payments. We maintain a $350.0 million revolving credit facility and a $45.0 million term loan facility. As of May 3, 2025, $155.5 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $25.0 million was outstanding under the term loan facility. Assuming no additional repayments or borrowings on our revolving credit facility and our term loan facility after May 3, 2025, our interest payments would be approximately $8.9 million for the remainder of fiscal year 2025 and approximately $11.9 million for fiscal year 2026, in each case, based on the interest rate as of May 3, 2025. As of May 3, 2025, our weighted average interest rate on the amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and term loan facility was 6.59%.

Our Fishing, Hunting and Shooting and Apparel departments saw net sales increases of $8.2 million, $7.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024 primarily driven by increased unit sales due to our continued emphasis on maintaining sufficient inventory in-stocks of core items. Our Camping, Optics, Electronics, Accessories and Other and Footwear departments saw net sales decreases of $6.0 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended August 2, 2025 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2024. We believe these decreases reflected the impact of broader macroeconomic conditions discussed above.

The increase in the ammunition category was primarily due to our efforts to ensure every day low pricing in key ammunition groups. While we saw a slight decrease in our firearm category, it remains relatively flat. The leveling in our firearms category was primarily driven by a shift in consumer behavior to lower cost firearms, however, we have seen increased unit sales and continue to consistently outpace the adjusted NICS background checks data, an indication that we are gaining market share within the firearms space.
