General and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million over the prior year comparable quarter, primarily as a result of higher profit-related and stock-based compensation expenses, and higher legal expenses.

Previous wording

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we identified an immaterial error related to our accrual for certain legal expenses, resulting in an overstatement of general and administrative expenses in the interim and annual periods for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 and during the interim periods for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. In accordance with SAB No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, we evaluated the quantitative and qualitative considerations of the error and determined that the related impact was not material to the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows for any historical annual or interim period. Prior year amounts have been adjusted to correct the immaterial error, which overstated general and administrative expenses by $565,000 and $901,000 and understated income tax expense by $153,000 and $238,000 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, respectively. Related changes to net income, corresponding line items within cash provided by operating activities, and related disclosures within the notes accompanying these financial statements reflect the immaterial correction.

Previous wording

Sales of our handguns decreased $3.0 million, or 3.2%, from the comparable quarter last year, primarily as a result of lower consumer demand, partially offset by increased shipments of newly introduced products (defined as any new SKU not shipped in the comparable period last year). Shipments of new products represented 42.8% of handgun sales in the quarter. Handgun unit shipments into the sporting goods channel decreased by 1.9% from the comparable quarter last year while overall demand for handguns increased by 2.9% (as indicated by adjusted background checks reported in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS) due to a reduction in inventory in the channel.

Current wording

Sales of our handguns increased $27.6 million, or 34.6%, over the comparable quarter last year, primarily as a result of increased shipments of newly introduced products (defined as any new SKU not shipped in the comparable period last year), a shift in product mix to higher priced models, higher consumer demand, and a 2% to 3% price increase on select products that became effective on January 1, 2026. Shipments of new products represented 44.0% of handgun sales in the quarter. Handgun unit shipments into the sporting goods channel increased by 28.0% over the comparable quarter last year while overall demand for handguns decreased by 2.2% (as indicated by adjusted background checks reported in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS) partially due to an increase in inventory at our distributors.

Previous wording

Sales of our long guns decreased $453,000, or 1.8%, from the comparable quarter last year, primarily as a result of lower consumer demand, partially offset by increased shipments of newly introduced products. Shipments of new products represented 38.1% of long gun sales in the period. Long gun unit shipments into the sporting goods channel decreased by 5.1% from the comparable quarter last year while overall demand for long guns decreased by 8.3% (as indicated by NICS).

Current wording

Sales of our long guns decreased $8.4 million, or 30.4%, from the comparable quarter last year, primarily as a result of the timing of new product launches in the comparable period last year and lower consumer demand during the period. Shipments of new products represented 27.5% of long gun sales in the period. Long gun unit shipments into the sporting goods channel decreased by 25.0% from the comparable quarter last year while overall demand for long guns decreased by 5.6% (as indicated by NICS). We believe the difference in our unit demand compared to NICS results was driven by stronger relative performance in categories in which we do not participate fully, specifically hunting, and a decrease in inventory at our distributors.

Previous wording

Gross margin for the three months ended October 31, 2025 was 24.3% compared with 26.6% for the comparable quarter last year, primarily driven by unfavorable fixed-cost absorption from lower production volumes, higher tariffs on imported materials and components, and unfavorable inventory adjustments (including standard cost revaluations, shrink, and excess inventory write downs), partially offset by lower promotional costs and lower federal firearms excise taxes as a result of the favorable completion of a recent audit. We estimate higher tariffs negatively impacted gross margin by approximately 80 basis points when compared to the comparable quarter last year.

Current wording

Gross margin for the three months ended January 31, 2026 was 26.2% compared with 24.1% for the comparable quarter last year, primarily driven by favorable fixed-cost absorption from higher production volumes, lower promotional costs, and lower federal firearms excise taxes as a result of the favorable completion of a recent audit, partially offset by higher tariffs on imported materials and components and higher labor costs. We estimate higher tariffs negatively impacted gross margin by approximately 160 basis points when compared to the comparable quarter last year.

Current wording

Sales of our handguns increased $36.3 million, or 16%, over the comparable period last year, primarily as a result of increased shipments of newly introduced products, higher consumer demand, and a 2% to 3% price increase on select products that became effective on January 1, 2026.

Long gun unit shipments into the sporting goods channel decreased by 15.5% from the comparable period last year while overall consumer demand for long guns decreased by 8.1% (as indicated by NICS).

Long gun unit shipments into the sporting goods channel decreased by 19.1% from the comparable period last year while overall consumer demand for long guns decreased by 7.1% (as indicated by NICS).

Other products and services revenue decreased $5.3 million, or 25.2%, from the comparable period last year, primarily because of lower business-to-business, parts, and suppressor sales; partially offset by e-commerce sales, which began in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

We estimate higher tariffs negatively impacted gross margin by approximately 120 basis points when compared to the comparable period last year.

Previous wording

Inventory balances decreased $6.7 million between April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2025 as a result of our proactive inventory management and production planning efforts intended to optimize inventory levels and cash flows. While inventory levels, both internally and in the distribution channel, in excess of demand may negatively impact future operating results, it is difficult to forecast the potential impact of distributor inventories on future revenue and income as demand is impacted by many factors, including seasonality, new product introductions, news events, political events, and consumer tastes. We expect our inventory levels to decline during the remainder of the fiscal year.
