Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $2.1 million, or 2.2%, to $96.0 million during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026 compared to $93.9 million for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 32.5% during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026, compared to 32.0% for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025 primarily driven by reduced freight from improved inventory management and a one-time tariff benefit, partially offset by category mix shift.

Our business continues to face widespread macroeconomic uncertainties, including the impact of changes to international trade policies and increased tariff rates, inflation, elevated interest rates, elevated fuel prices, recession risks and rising global political tensions. We continue to monitor the potential impact of these broader consumer spending pressures on our business. While we cannot predict the ultimate impact of such uncertainties on our financial results for fiscal year 2026 and beyond, we believe these factors could affect our sales in fiscal year 2026. We remain measured in our outlook for the year.

We believe the key drivers to improving our gross margin are increasing the product mix to higher margin products, particularly fishing, improving our seasonal inventory efficiency, strategic buying opportunities with our vendor partners and coordinating pricing strategies among our stores and our merchandise group. Successful inventory management ensures we have sufficient high margin products in stock to meet customer demand, while overstocking of items can lead to aggressive markdowns in order to help a product sell. We ended our fiscal first quarter of 2026 with $25.1 million less inventory than at the end of the fiscal first quarter of 2025, a 6.1% decrease.

Net Sales and Same Store Sales. Net sales increased by $7.0 million, or 2.8%, to $256.1 million during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 compared to $249.1 million in the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025. Our net sales increased primarily due to sales growth in our Hunting and Shooting Sports and Fishing departments. Hunting and Shooting Sports increases were led by firearms, ammunition, and less-lethal personal protection, partially aided by external event-driven demand. Fishing increases were driven by seasonal demands as customers prepared for the spring fishing season. These increases were partially offset by decreases in net sales across other departments, reflecting continued pressure on the U.S. consumer and a strategic pull down of inventory to align our complementary categories with our core pursuits. E-commerce driven sales comprised approximately 23% of total sales for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026. Same store sales increased by 2.1% during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 compared to the corresponding 13 weeks ended May 3, 2025, primarily as a result of the factors discussed above that impacted net sales.

Net Sales and Same Store Sales. Net sales increased by $1.7 million, or 0.6%, to $295.6 million during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026 compared to $293.9 million in the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025. Our net sales increased primarily due to sales growth in our Hunting and Shooting Sports department. Hunting and Shooting Sports increases were led by firearms, ammunition, and less-lethal personal protection, partially aided by external event-driven demand. These increases were partially offset by decreases in net sales across other departments, reflecting continued pressure on the consumer and drought conditions in the western United States. E-commerce driven sales comprised approximately 19% of total sales for the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026. Same store sales remained flat during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2026 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025.
Previous wording
Our Hunting and Shooting Sports and Fishing departments saw net sales increases of $11.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026 compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025 primarily driven by increases in firearms, ammunition, and less-lethal personal protection, with some additional event-driven demand.

The increase in these categories was primarily due to our change to every day low pricing in key product groups within the ammunition category, our bulk unit ammunition strategy, and improved in-stocks on core products.

As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 29.6% during the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2026, compared to 30.4% for the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025 primarily driven by category mix and lower sales in higher margin categories.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 34.6% of net sales in the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2026, compared to 35.4% in the corresponding period of fiscal year 2025.
Previous wording
Net sales are typically higher in our third and fourth fiscal quarters than in our first and second fiscal quarters because of the openings of hunting seasons across the country and consumer holiday buying patterns. We also incur additional expenses in our third and fourth fiscal quarters due to higher sales volume and increased staffing in our stores. We anticipate our net sales will continue to reflect this seasonal pattern. On average, over the last three fiscal years, we have generated approximately 27.0% and 28.3% of our net sales in the third and fourth fiscal quarters, respectively, which includes the holiday selling season as well as the opening of the Fall hunting season. We anticipate our net sales will continue to reflect this seasonal pattern. However, Spring hunting, Father’s Day and the availability of hunting and fishing throughout the year in many of our markets counterbalance this seasonality to a certain degree.

In evaluating our business, we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, management transition costs and executive retention costs. Net income (loss) is the most comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as, for any period, the Adjusted EBITDA for that period divided by the net sales for that period. We consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin important supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Other companies in our industry, however, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently than we do. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as additional measurement tools for purposes of business decision-making, including evaluating store performance, developing budgets and managing expenditures. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow investors to evaluate our operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
