Q1 FY27 earnings call · Sep 3, 2026
Q1 FY27
TL;DR. Smith & Wesson reported a strong fiscal Q1 2027 with net sales up 32% to $112.6 million and EPS swinging to $0.06 from an $0.08 loss, while reaffirming full-year revenue growth guidance of 5-7% and Q2 sales roughly 10% above last year.
Bullish
- + Net sales grew 32.3% year-over-year to $112.6 million with shipments outperforming the broader firearm market.
- + Swung to GAAP net income of $2.6 million ($0.06 EPS) from a $3.4 million net loss ($0.08 loss per share) year-over-year.
- + Adjusted EBITDAS grew to $13.8 million (12.2% margin) from $7.4 million (8.7% margin) year-over-year.
- + Reaffirmed full-year FY27 revenue growth guidance of 5-7% over FY26 and expects Q2 sales roughly 10% above last year.
- + ASPs moved higher with handgun ASPs up nearly 9% year-over-year and long gun ASPs up nearly 11% sequentially and over 18% year-over-year.
Bearish
- − Gross margin expansion to 28.7% was primarily driven by a non-recurring $2.9 million tariff refund worth ~260 bps.
- − Operating expenses rose $3 million year-over-year due to higher legal, profit-related compensation, selling, freight, and advertising costs.
