SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: SWHC), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter 2017, ended July 31, 2016.
First Quarter Fiscal 2017 Financial Highlights
- Quarterly net sales were $207.0 million compared with $147.8 million for the first quarter last year, an increase of 40.1%.
- Gross margin for the quarter was 42.3% compared with 39.8% for the first quarter last year.
- Quarterly GAAP net income was $32.6 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, as compared with $14.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.
- Quarterly non-GAAP net income was $35.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share compared with $17.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments in net income exclude amortization for acquisitions as well as one-time, acquisition-related transaction costs. For a detailed reconciliation, see the schedules that follow in this release.
- Quarterly non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS was $65.8 million, or 31.8% of net sales.
James Debney, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with our first quarter results, which exceeded our financial guidance. We believe that higher revenue was driven by strong consumer demand as reflected in adjusted background checks from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as well as our own market share gains. During the quarter, we announced the acquisition of Taylor Brands and Crimson Trace, two accretive acquisitions, making strong in-roads on our strategy to become a leader in the market for shooting, hunting, and rugged outdoor enthusiasts. These acquisitions, which further expand our presence in the markets for outdoor products and accessories, were completed early in the second quarter. Based upon that timing, as well as our performance for the first quarter and our revised outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2017, we are raising our full year revenue and net income guidance."

Taylor Brands, LLC Acquisition
- Industry leading provider of high quality knives and specialty tools
- Trailing twelve months revenue of approximately $41.0 million
- Organic 5-year compound annual revenue growth rate of over 12%

- http://ir.smith-wesson.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=90977&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2186082
Jeffrey D. Buchanan, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Administrative Officer, said, "In line with our expanding presence in the market for rugged outdoors products, we have made the decision to position our accessories division and our new electro-optics division under a segment named Outdoor Products & Accessories, in order to better reflect the large and growing addressable market for those offerings. As a result, effective with the fiscal first quarter, we are now reporting results in the following two segments: Firearms and Outdoor Products & Accessories."
Buchanan continued, "Strong gross margins in the quarter were driven by several factors, including increased production volumes in the firearms segment. Operating cash flow was positive at $38.1 million despite our seasonal inventory build as we prepare for the upcoming fall hunting and holiday shopping seasons. As a result, cash during the quarter increased to $215.0 million, providing liquidity to fund the $180.0 million in strategic acquisitions that we closed early in the second quarter. We ended the first quarter with total debt of $173.7 million and no borrowings on our $175.0 million revolving line of credit, thus affording us ample liquidity for any future acquisitions we may consider."

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 EBITDAS," and "free cash flow" are presented. From time-to-time, the company considers and uses these 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) TCA accessories transition costs, (iii) discontinued operations, (iv) DOJ and SEC costs including insurance recovery costs, (v) acquisition-related costs, (vi) bond premium paid, (vii) debt extinguishment costs, (viii) the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, (ix) net cash provided by operating activities, (x) net cash used in investing activities, (xi) receipts from note receivable, (xii) interest expense (xiii) income tax expense, (xiv) depreciation and amortization, and (xv) stock-based compensation expense; 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. 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.

Such forward-looking statements include our belief that higher revenue was driven by strong consumer demand as reflected in adjusted background checks from the NICS system as well as our own market share gains; our belief that the Taylor Brands and Crimson Trace acquisitions are accretive, making strong in-roads on our strategy to become a leader in the market for shooting, hunting, and rugged outdoor enthusiasts; our expanding presence in the markets for outdoor products and accessories; and our expectations for net sales, GAAP income per diluted share, acquisition costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, fair value inventory step-up and backlog expense, tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, and non-GAAP income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and for fiscal 2017. We caution that these statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the demand for our products; the costs and ultimate conclusion of certain legal matters; the state of the U.S. economy in general and the firearm industry in particular; general economic conditions and consumer spending patterns; the potential for increased regulation of firearms and firearm-related products; speculation surrounding fears of terrorism and crime; our growth opportunities; our anticipated growth; our ability to increase demand for our products in various markets, including consumer, law enforcement, and military channels, domestically and internationally; the position of our hunting products in the consumer discretionary marketplace and distribution channel; our penetration rates in new and existing markets; our strategies; our ability to introduce new products; the success of new products; our ability to expand our markets; our ability to integrate acquired businesses in a successful manner; the general growth of our outdoor products and accessories business; the potential for cancellation of orders from our backlog; and other risks detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016.
