Our brands continued to resonate with consumers, demonstrated by POS results in our Outdoor Lifestyle category that increased 7% year over year, and in our Shooting Sports category, which increased 1% year over year.  At the same time, we delivered meaningful innovation, drove expanded distribution of our brands and products with retailers, took steps to optimize our brand portfolio, and successfully leveraged the agility of our operating model to navigate tariff uncertainty and a dynamic retail environment."Innovation remains a key driver of our business, with new products representing over 29% of fiscal 2026 net sales. We continue to build connected ecosystems driven by smart products around our key brands.  During the year, we expanded Caldwell's ClayCopter® and Claymore® lines for shotgun enthusiasts, with the Claymore Connect™, as well as the ClayCopter Surface-to-Air™ – a revolutionary, wireless ground launcher that integrates with our Caldwell Clays™ app and makes Caldwell® the only brand that can connect to and simultaneously control up to 10 Claymore Connect or ClayCopter Surface-To-Air launchers, allowing the combination of traditional clays and ClayCopter targets on a single course.  We also partnered our BUBBA® brand with Major League Fishing to introduce SCORETRACKER® LIVE, a transformative platform for competitive fishing professionals and everyday anglers that delivers real-time tournament management, scoring, spectating, and excitement via our BUBBA® app and smart fish scales – set to launch to consumers at ICAST in July.  These initiatives redefine their respective categories, injecting them with the excitement of gamification and real-time competition.  They also  underscore our belief that innovation remains one of the most important drivers of consumer engagement, distribution expansion, and long-term growth across our portfolio."While fiscal 2026 presented challenges across the industry, our business demonstrated resilience. Throughout the year, our team successfully navigated a rapidly evolving tariff environment, continuing to enhance the flexibility and responsiveness of our supply chain, and preserving our rights to potential tariff refunds. Together with signs of improving retail inventory conditions, these results reinforce our belief that our long-term model remains intact.  While we are mindful of the uncertainties that continue to affect the consumer marketplace, we are encouraged by the strength of our brands and the favorable consumer demand reflected in our POS results. We believe that, together, these factors position us well to return to growth in fiscal 2027."Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer, said, "Fiscal 2026 was a year of disciplined financial execution. We reduced inventory by approximately $9.5 million, delivered gross margins of 44.7%, repurchased over $5 million of our common stock, and ended the year with $21.4 million in cash and no debt. While net sales for the full year and fourth quarter declined from prior periods, a large portion of the decline was attributable to approximately $10 million of orders that retailers accelerated into the final weeks of fiscal 2025 ahead of anticipated tariff-related price actions.  Despite those dynamics, we made meaningful progress throughout the year, and we enter fiscal 2027 with an improved inventory position and a strong balance sheet, which provides us with the flexibility to invest in organic growth initiatives while pursuing strategic opportunities that support long-term shareholder value creation."Fiscal 2027 Outlook
"We believe that the progress we achieved during fiscal 2026, together with the strength of our brands and our innovation pipeline, supports our outlook for fiscal 2027. Accordingly, we expect net sales to be in the range of $200.0 million to $210.0 million, which would represent growth of approximately 5% to 10% compared to fiscal 2026 reported net sales. We expect Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2027 to be in the range of 6.5% to 7.5% of net sales, which at the midpoints, would represent an increase of more than 40% over prior year Adjusted EBITDA," concluded Fulmer.Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will host a conference call and webcast today, Thursday, June 25, 2026, to discuss its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2026 financial and operational results.  Speakers on the conference call will include Brian Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer.  The conference call may include forward-looking statements and a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.  The conference call and webcast will begin at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time).  Those interested in listening to the conference call via telephone may call directly at (833) 630-1956 and ask to join the American Outdoor Brands call.  No RSVP is necessary.  The conference call audio webcast can also be accessed live on the Company's website at www.aob.com, under the Investor Relations section.Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "non-GAAP net income," "Adjusted EBITDA," and net sales adjusted for $10.0 million of orders that were accelerated by retailers from fiscal 2026 into the final weeks of fiscal 2025 are presented.  A reconciliation of "non-GAAP net income," "Adjusted EBITDA," 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) impairment of assets held for sale, (iv) non-recurring inventory reserve adjustment, (v) emerging growth status transition costs, (vi) technology implementation, (vii) contract exit costs, (viii) income tax adjustments, (ix) interest income, (x) income tax expense, and (xi) 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.About American Outdoor Brands, Inc.

American Outdoor Brands Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure and KastKing Fishing TackleApril 1, 2026 1:03 PM
PR Newswire (US)

COLUMBIA, Mo., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American Outdoor Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: AOUT), (AOB), an innovation company that provides product solutions for outdoor enthusiasts, today filed a complaint against Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc., and KastKing Fishing Tackle, Inc., alleging that the defendants knowingly violated AOB's patent rights incorporated in the  BUBBA® multi-flex interchangeable fillet knife products.  AOB filed the claim in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and seeks injunctive and monetary relief, as well as a finding of willful infringement by the defendants.







Brian Murphy, President and CEO of American Outdoor Brands, said, "We have made significant investments in engineering innovative, proprietary technologies that power our BUBBA® multi-flex interchangeable fillet knife line. These patented designs—including our Flex-Change® locking system—set our products apart through superior performance, durability, and precision on the water. We filed this action because we believe KastKing has deliberately copied these patented innovations and continued selling the infringing products despite repeated notice. Protecting our intellectual property is essential not only to our business, but to maintaining a fair and competitive marketplace for innovation. Over the past five years, we have grown our patent portfolio by more than 50%, and that portfolio now exceeds 400 active or pending patents. We remain committed to enforcing our patents and will take decisive action when necessary to protect the integrity of our brands and the trust our customers place in BUBBA® and all of our products."AOB alleges that Eposeidon began selling its KastKing Interchangeable Fillet Knife Kits without the permission or authorization of the company. AOB developed innovative technology incorporated in its BUBBA® multi-flex interchangeable fillet knife products covered by U.S. Patent Nos. 12,285,879 and 12,441,011, with other patents pending. AOB is seeking an order that requires Eposeidon to withdraw infringing products from the market, compensates AOB for past infringement, finds Eposeidon's infringement to be willful, and awards AOB treble damages and its attorneys' fees from Eposeidon.Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

American Outdoor Brands, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial ResultsMarch 12, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US)

COLUMBIA, Mo., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American Outdoor Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: AOUT), an innovation company that provides product solutions for outdoor enthusiasts, today announced financial results for the third quarter fiscal 2026 ended January 31, 2026.







Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial HighlightsQuarterly net sales were $56.6 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 3.3%, compared with net sales of $58.5 million for the comparable quarter last year.Quarterly gross margin was 41.0%, compared with quarterly gross margin of 44.7% for the comparable quarter last year.Quarterly GAAP net loss was $4.1 million, or $(0.32) per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $169,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.Quarterly non-GAAP net income was $1.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $2.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.  GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments for net income exclude acquired intangible amortization, stock compensation, non-cash impairment of assets held for sale related to the company's ust brand, and other costs.  For a detailed reconciliation, see the schedules that follow in this release.Quarterly non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $3.3 million, or 5.8% of net sales, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million, or 8.1% of net sales, for the comparable quarter last year.  For a detailed reconciliation, see the schedules that follow in this release."We were pleased to deliver third quarter net sales results that exceeded our expectations, supported by strong retail sell-through and continued momentum across our growth brands. Total POS increased by 5% year over year, led by strength in our Outdoor Lifestyle category, which, we believe, indicates that consumers continue to engage with our innovative product offerings. Net sales for the quarter were $56.6 million, declining 3.3% from last year – a favorable result given variability in retailer ordering patterns and broader market dynamics that we've experienced so far in fiscal 2026.  Our third quarter performance reinforces our confidence in our full year outlook."Our Outdoor Lifestyle category, which includes hunting and meat processing, generated over 62% of our net sales in the quarter and delivered growth of 5.4%, driven by strength in our BOG® and MEAT! Your Maker® brands. In Shooting Sports, our Caldwell® brand delivered solid growth in the quarter, reflecting strong retailer and consumer response to our innovative ClayCopter™ platform. That momentum was reinforced at SHOT Show in January, where engagement around our new ClayCopter™ and Claymore® connected products was exceptionally strong. Increasingly, our retail partners are seeking differentiated innovation to drive traffic and strengthen consumer engagement, and Caldwell's performance demonstrates how our innovation pipeline enables us to gain share even within a challenged category. In fact, Caldwell® was a bright spot within our Shooting Sports category, which declined 15% year over year, largely due to continued softness in aiming solution products – a trend we are seeing across the broader market."New products represented over 26% of our net sales in the quarter.  Our relentless focus on innovation continues to expand how we connect with consumers. As we enter peak fishing season, we are preparing an initial rollout in April of SCORETRACKER® LIVE, a platform that integrates Major League Fishing (MLF) SCORETRACKER® technology into our BUBBA® app to deliver real-time tournament hosting and live scoring to anglers and organizers everywhere. SCORETRACKER® LIVE brings the intensity and excitement once reserved for professional MLF bass tournaments to events of any size – from neighborhood competitions and school teams to local clubs and regional circuits. It also supports the growing adoption of catch-and-release tournament formats that promote sustainable fisheries, aligning competitive excitement with responsible stewardship."These new products from Caldwell® and BUBBA® demonstrate that we are intentionally executing on a strategy that pairs innovative hardware with integrated digital capabilities in categories where connectivity enhances the consumer experience. By building connected product ecosystems around select growth brands, we are deepening engagement, creating differentiated value for our retail partners, and supporting recurring revenue opportunities. We look forward to building on that momentum with innovation from BUBBA® that we'll unveil this summer at ICAST, the world's largest sport fishing expo."Taken together, our third quarter performance highlights the strength of our diversified brand portfolio and the effectiveness of our long-term strategy. Equally important, we remain disciplined in how we allocate capital – prioritizing investments that support innovation and long-term value creation, refining our portfolio to ensure alignment with our strategic direction, and actively managing working capital to enhance financial flexibility."Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer, said, "In the third quarter, net sales came in ahead of our expectations, and we delivered gross margins of 41%, despite actions we took to clear certain slow-moving inventory and the higher tariff costs we absorbed during the period.  Our balance sheet remains strong and continues to give us the flexibility to support our strategic objectives.  During the quarter, we repurchased approximately 181,000 shares of our common stock for $1.4 million, and we ended the period debt-free with $10.4 million in cash.  We believe this solid financial position allows us to continue pursuing growth opportunities that drive long-term value for our shareholders."Fiscal 2026 Outlook
Fulmer continued, "We are encouraged by our performance so far in fiscal 2026, particularly in light of the ongoing tariff environment, cautious retailer ordering patterns, and broader consumer uncertainty.  As such, we are maintaining our financial outlook and continue to expect fiscal 2026 net sales in the range of approximately $191 million to $193 million. Recall that at the end of fiscal 2025, retailers accelerated approximately $10 million of orders originally planned for fiscal 2026 to get ahead of impending tariffs, creating a more challenging comparison for the current year. Adjusting for that acceleration, the underlying decline in net sales for fiscal 2026 would be approximately 5%, which we would view as solid performance given the current environment. For the full fiscal year, we continue to expect gross margin in the range of 42% to 43% and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of 4.0% to 4.5% of net sales."Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will host a conference call and webcast today, Thursday, March 12, 2026, to discuss its third quarter fiscal 2026 financial and operational results.  Speakers on the conference call will include Brian Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer.  The conference call may include forward-looking statements and a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures.  The conference call and webcast will begin at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time).  Those interested in listening to the conference call via telephone may call directly at (833) 630-1956 and ask to join the American Outdoor Brands call.  No RSVP is necessary.  The conference call audio webcast can also be accessed live on the Company's website at www.aob.com, under the Investor Relations section.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 EBITDA" 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) impairment of assets held for sale, (iv) non-recurring inventory reserve adjustment, (v) emerging growth status transition costs, (vi) technology implementation, (vii) income tax adjustments, (viii) interest income, (ix) income tax expense, and (x) 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.About American Outdoor Brands, Inc.
