Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

Q4 Net Sales of $178.4 Million

Q4 Gross Margin of 29.8%

Q4 EPS of $0.36/Share

Q4 Cash from Operations of $74.6 million

MARYVILLE, Tenn., June 17, 2026 – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a

U.S.-based leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026, ended April 30, 2026.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights

Net sales were $178.4 million, an increase of $37.6 million, or 26.7%, over the comparable quarter last

year.

Gross margin was 29.8% compared with 28.8% in the comparable quarter last year.

GAAP net income was $16.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with $8.6 million, or $0.19 per

diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.

Non-GAAP net income was $16.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share,

compared with $9.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments for income exclude costs related to the relocation. See the schedules that follow

in this release for a detailed reconciliation.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS was $30.9 million, or 17.3% of net sales,

compared with $23.5 million, or 16.7% of net sales, for the comparable quarter last year.

Full Year Fiscal 2026 Financial

Highlights

Net sales were $523.8 million, an increase of $49.2 million, or 10.4%, over the prior fiscal year.

Gross margin was 26.9% compared with 26.8% in the prior fiscal year.

GAAP net income was $18.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared with $13.4 million, or $0.30

per diluted share, for the prior fiscal year.

Non-GAAP net income was $18.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share,

compared with $14.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the prior fiscal year. GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments for income include costs related to the relocation, a gain on sale of certain real estate,

and other costs. See the schedules that follow in this release for a detailed reconciliation.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS was $69.2 million, or 13.2% of net sales,

compared with $64.7 million, or 13.7% of net sales, for the prior fiscal year.

We paid $23.2 million in dividends compared with $23.1 million in the prior fiscal year.

We repaid $60.0 million on our revolving credit facility.

Mark Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our excellent fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2026 results showcase our team’s

remarkable execution on our strategic priorities and the enduring power of our iconic brand. We delivered strong results across every dimension of our business – from revenue to profitability, and from cash flow to debt reduction. We

outperformed our competitors in our core categories and achieved meaningful progress in segments that we hadn’t historically competed in. The combined strength of our brand, our team, our disciplined strategic focus, and our strong balance

sheet put us in an excellent position to continue creating long-term value for our stockholders.

Deana McPherson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Net sales for our

fourth quarter of $178.4 million grew 26.7% above the prior year, with new products making up 37.5% of total revenue. Our outperformance was mostly driven by handgun shipments, which represented over 80% of our units shipped. Our handgun unit

sales into the sporting goods channel increased 23.2% over the prior year, while NICS increased only 1.1%, with nearly no change in channel inventory, demonstrating strong consumer preference for our products. We expect firearm industry demand in

fiscal 2027 to continue to be healthy and slightly higher than in fiscal 2026. Consistent with our capital allocation strategy, our board of directors has authorized a $0.13 per share quarterly dividend, which will be paid to stockholders of record

on July 1, 2026, with payment to be made on July 15, 2026.”

Conference Call and Webcast

The company will host a conference call and webcast on June 17, 2026 to discuss its fourth quarter and full fiscal 2026 financial and operational results.

Speakers on the conference call will include Mark Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Deana McPherson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The conference call may include forward-looking statements. The

conference call and webcast will begin at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time). Interested parties in North America are invited to participate by dialing 1-877-704-4453. Interested parties from outside North America are invited to participate by dialing

Reconciliation of

U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, certain

non-GAAP financial measures, including “non-GAAP net sales,” “non-GAAP gross profit,” “non-GAAP gross margin,” “non-GAAP operating expenses,” “non-GAAP operating income,” “non-GAAP net income,” “Non-GAAP net income per share – diluted,” “Adjusted EBITDAS,” “Adjusted EBITDAS Margin,” and

“free cash flow” are presented. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in

combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than does GAAP measures alone. We believe these financial measures assist our board of directors,

management, investors, and other users of the financial statements in comparing our results on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes certain non-cash items and other items that we do not

consider to be indicative of our core and/or ongoing operations. We believe it is useful for us and the reader to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) interest, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and

amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) an accrued legal settlement, (vi) Smith & Wesson Academy grand opening expenses, (vii) relocation expense, including

non-recurring third-party wind-down net sales and cost of sales related to the closure of an immaterial manufacturing location that was shut down as a result of the relocation, (xiii) a gain on sale of

certain real estate, and (ix) the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments; and (2) the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information. We present these non-GAAP measures because we consider them an important supplemental measure of our performance. Our definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others. We

believe 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 our GAAP measures. The principal limitations of these measures are that they do not reflect

our actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating our financial measures on a GAAP basis.

Change in

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Prior to fiscal 2026, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDAS included an

adjustment for interest expense. Beginning with the fiscal 2026 presentation for all periods presented herein, we also included an adjustment for interest income such that Adjusted EBITDAS is fully adjusted for the effect of Interest expense, net as

presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income. We believe that adjusting for both interest expense and interest income assists users of the financial statements in understanding the results of our core operations and comparing those results on

a consistent basis from period to period.

For the three months and year ended April 30, 2026, this change resulted in a decrease of $593,000

and $2.4 million, respectively, in the amounts of Adjusted EBITDAS compared to the amounts that would have been reported using the previous methodology. For the three months and year ended April 30, 2025, the change also resulted in a

decrease of $660,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, in the amounts of Adjusted EBITDAS compared to the amounts that were previously reported.
