(NASDAQ Global Select: AOUT), an innovation company that provides product solutions for outdoor enthusiasts, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 ended January 31, 2025. (PRNewsfoto/American Outdoor Brands, Inc.) Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights Quarterly net sales were $58.5 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 9.5%, compared with net sales of $53.4 million for the prior year. Quarterly gross margin was 44.7%, compared with quarterly gross margin of 42.7% for the comparable quarter last year. Quarterly GAAP net income was $169,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $2.9 million, or ($0.23) per diluted share, last year. Quarterly non-GAAP net income was $2.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, last year. GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments for net income exclude acquired intangible amortization, stock compensation, technology implementation, emerging growth status transition costs, and other costs. For a detailed reconciliation, see the schedules that follow in this release. Quarterly non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS was $4.7 million, or 8.1% of net sales, compared with Adjusted EBITDAS of $2.4 million, or 4.4% of net sales, for the prior year. For a detailed reconciliation, see the schedules that follow in this release. Brian Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our third quarter results came in ahead of our expectations. We believe our strong performance demonstrates the effectiveness of our long-term strategy to leverage our innovation advantage to broaden our distribution opportunities, expand awareness of our brands, and strengthen our margins. We delivered growth in both our Outdoor Lifestyle and our Shooting Sports categories, supported by year-over-year increases in nearly all sales channels in the third quarter, including our traditional, e-commerce, and domestic sales channels. In addition, we delivered a significant increase in Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS, which nearly doubled year-over-year. "In January, we unveiled several new products that showcase our ability to leverage our innovation advantage to drive brand awareness and expand our markets by making outdoor activities more accessible to a broader audience of enthusiasts. Two prime examples come from our Caldwell® and BUBBA® brands. From Caldwell, we are reshaping how clay shooters take aim by introducing a revolutionary new target system called the ClayCopter™, which includes an easy-to-use, handheld electronic launcher that propels a set of biodegradable discs up to 100 yards in an endless variety of flight patterns, challenging shooters like never before. Both the launcher and targets fit easily into a backpack, making clay target shooting a more fun and spontaneous activity. From BUBBA, we are bringing fishing gamification to a much larger group of everyday anglers, allowing them to compete like the pros with the BUBBA SFS Lite™, an affordable breakthrough scale made with the same uncompromising reliability that Major League Fishing pros have come to trust in our BUBBA SFS Pro Series™. These are just two of the many industry-changing innovations we showcased in January. The response to our new products has been overwhelmingly positive, generating industry excitement, favorable reviews, social media buzz, and exceptional retailer enthusiasm that helps reinforce our confidence in our sales outlook for fiscal 2025 and beyond." Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer, said, "During the third quarter, we maintained disciplined capital management, building inventory to support customer order strength and repurchasing roughly $1.2 million of our common stock. We ended the quarter with $17.1 million in cash and no debt. We remain excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, especially in light of our strong third quarter performance, combined with ongoing retailer enthusiasm for our new products and our ability to provide instant access to innovation and excitement. As a result, we are increasing the midpoint of our net sales, earnings per share, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS guidance for fiscal 2025, and reiterating our net sales outlook for fiscal 2026, which begins May 1, 2025." AMERICAN OUTDOOR BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NET SALES, EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE, and ADJUSTED EBITDAS GUIDANCE (Unaudited) Range for the Year Ending April 30, 2025 Net sales (in thousands) $ 207,000 $ 210,000 GAAP loss per share - diluted $ (0.27) $ (0.19) Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS (in thousands) $ 14,500 $ 15,500 Range for the Year Ending April 30, 2026 Net sales (in thousands) $ 220,000 $ 230,000 Conference Call and Webcast The Company will host a conference call and webcast today, March 6, 2025, to discuss its third quarter fiscal 2025 financial and operational results.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "non-GAAP net income" and "Adjusted EBITDAS" are presented. A reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures is contained at the end of this press release. From time to time, the Company considers and uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of operating performance in order to provide the reader with an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. The Company believes it is useful for itself and the reader to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) stock compensation, (iii) technology implementation, (iv) non-recurring inventory reserve adjustment, (v) emerging growth status transition costs, (vi) income tax adjustments, (vii) interest (income)/expense, (viii) income tax expense, and (ix) depreciation and amortization; and (2) the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information. The Company presents these non-GAAP measures because it considers them an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes the disclosure of such measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company's definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others. The Company believes these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company's GAAP measures. The principal limitations of these measures are that they do not reflect the Company's actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its financial measures on a GAAP basis.
