MIDVALE, Utah, May 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. ("Sportsman's" or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SPWH) today announced financial results for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019.
Jon Barker, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our first quarter results were within our expectations on the top line and slightly below on the bottom line as we were up against difficult comparisons in the prior year period for our firearm and ammunition categories. Operationally, I am very pleased with the progress we made on our strategic initiatives centered around our omni-channel strategy, customer acquisition and engagement, and a differentiated merchandising assortment, all of which continue to drive market share gains.”
Mr. Barker continued, “As we look to the remainder of the year, we are continuing to strategically invest in the business and focusing on many new initiatives including a new credit card partner, valuable firearm related services and opportunities to selectively expand our exclusive product, among others. We believe these growth strategies, combined with our best in class customer service and expansive product selection at everyday low pricing, will continue to strengthen our competitive positioning in fiscal 2019 and beyond.”
For the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2019:
- Net sales decreased by 3.4% to $174.0 million from $180.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 primarily due to the difficult event-driven comparisons in the firearm and ammunition categories in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Non-GAAP Information
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): adjusted loss from operations, adjusted net loss, adjusted diluted loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA. We defined adjusted loss from operations and adjusted net loss as loss from operations and net loss, respectively, in each case, plus expenses incurred relating to the transition of our CFO and the recruitment and hiring of various key members of our senior management team and charges incurred in conjunction with the retirement of the Company’s former CEO, as applicable. Adjusted diluted loss per share is diluted loss per share excluding the impact of expenses incurred relating to the transition of our CFO and the recruitment and hiring of various key members of our senior management team and charges incurred in conjunction with the retirement of the Company’s former CEO, as applicable. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and other gains, losses and expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures” in this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of the Company’s business and facilitate a more meaningful comparison of its diluted loss per share and actual results on a period-over-period basis. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate these items differently than the Company does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our strategic initiatives and our outlook for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2019. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as "continue", "expect", "may", “opportunity”, "plan", "future", “ahead” and similar terms and phrases. The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the Company’s ability to integrate its new Chief Financial Officer; the Company’s retail-based business model, general economic conditions and consumer spending, the Company’s concentration of stores in the Western United States, competition in the outdoor activities and sporting goods market, changes in consumer demands, the Company’s expansion into new markets and planned growth, current and future government regulations, risks related to the Company’s continued retention of its key management, the Company’s distribution center, quality or safety concerns about the Company’s merchandise, events that may affect the Company’s vendors, trade restrictions, and other factors that are set forth in the Company's filings with the SEC, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019 and the Company’s other public filings made with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this release speaks only as of the date on which the Company makes it. Factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
