The earnings call highlighted strong performance in fiscal 2025 with significant growth in sales and innovative product launches. However, challenges such as evolving tariff impacts, supply chain issues, and the suspension of fiscal 2026 guidance due to economic uncertainties temper the outlook. Despite these concerns, the company maintains a strong balance sheet and operational agility.

Company Guidance

In the American Outdoor Brands, Inc. Fiscal 2025 conference call, the company highlighted its strong financial performance, revealing a net sales growth of over 10%, and an impressive adjusted EBITDA growth of 81%. The outdoor lifestyle category, which includes hunting, fishing, and outdoor cooking products, experienced a 16.2% increase, while shooting sports saw a 3.8% rise. Notably, the direct-to-consumer net sales reached $29.6 million, showing slight growth from the previous year, and international sales expanded by 20%. The gross margin rose by 60 basis points to 44.6%, bolstered by increased sales volumes but partially offset by higher tariff and freight costs. Operating expenses were reduced by 500 basis points, reflecting improved efficiency. However, due to uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment and tariff policies, the company has suspended its fiscal 2026 guidance, emphasizing its strategic flexibility and strong balance sheet to navigate potential challenges.
