      SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: SWHC), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2015 third quarter ended January 31, 2015.

      Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights

      • Total net sales for the third quarter were $130.6 million, a decrease of 10.5% from net sales of $145.9 million for the third quarter last year. Revenue exceeded the high end of the company's stated guidance range as a result of order strength from distributors and key retailers in January 2015.
        • Firearm division net sales for the third quarter totaled $124.5 million, a decrease of 14.7% from the comparable quarter last year.  The company believes that during the quarter a portion of the consumer demand for handguns and long guns was satisfied with excess industry channel inventory.  Accordingly, net sales of the company's handguns declined $6.8 million, or 6.8%, and net sales of the company's long guns declined $13.5 million, or 39.8%, from the comparable quarter last year. 
        • Accessories division net sales for the third quarter were $6.1 million, or 4.6% of total net sales. The company's accessories division is comprised entirely of Battenfeld Technologies, Inc. (BTI), which was acquired on December 11, 2014.  Therefore, accessories division net sales reflect only a partial quarter of revenue. 
      • Gross profit margin for the third quarter was 33.6% compared with gross profit margin of 40.2% for the third quarter last year.  The decline was a result of reduced firearm manufacturing volumes, unfavorable product mix changes, increased promotions, and decreased fixed-cost absorption, partially offset by favorable spending relative to sales volumes. Amortization of the inventory step-up related to the acquisition of BTI caused a 1.4 percentage point reduction in gross profit.  Excluding that accounting-related effect, gross margin for the quarter would have been 35.0%. 
      • Operating expenses for the third quarter were $28.1 million, or 21.5% of total net sales, compared with operating expenses of $27.5 million, or 18.9% of net sales, for the third quarter last year when the company did not have an accessories division.  Third quarter operating expenses now include those ongoing operating expenses related to BTI operations as well as $2.9 million in amortization of acquired intangibles and other acquisition-related costs.
      • Operating income for the third quarter was $15.7 million, or 12.0% of total net sales, compared with $31.1 million, or 21.3% of net sales, for the third quarter last year. Excluding the $4.8 million in acquisition-related expenses noted above, total company operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2015 was $20.5 million, or 15.7% of total net sales.
      • Income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $8.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with $20.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the third quarter last year. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $0.20 per diluted share, compared with $0.35 per diluted share for the third quarter last year. (See attached Table 1 - "Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures".)
      • Adjusted EBITDAS from continuing operations for the third quarter was $28.7 million, or  22.0% of net sales, compared with $37.5 million, or 25.7% of net sales, for the third quarter last year. (See attached Table 2 - "Reconciliation of GAAP Income from Operations to Adjusted EBITDAS".)
      • Cash flow from operations was $33.4 million, although cash decreased by $5.4 million for the third quarter driven primarily by the $36.2 million of cash used for the BTI acquisition.

      James Debney, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our third quarter results reflect the successful navigation of a normalizing firearm market following an earlier consumer surge in firearm purchases, combined with the ongoing focused execution of our long-term strategy. Sales in our firearm division exceeded our updated expectations, reflecting solid orders from distributors and key retailers at the start of our annual industry show season in January.  At the SHOT Show®, we continued to expand our product offering, providing consumers with some exciting new choices in our M&P® line of firearms as well as new hunting firearms from Smith & Wesson®, Performance Center®, and Thompson/Center Arms™. Our products remain popular with consumers and our internal data indicates that we remained the market leader in the handgun and the modern sporting rifle categories."

      "In our newly created accessories division, the acquisition of BTI in December 2014 provides us an avenue to expand our presence in firearms accesories. With a prolific product development capability and sophisticated infrastructure, BTI has established a track record of solid growth and highly accretive gross margins. Moreover, BTI has amassed a broad portfolio of hunting and shooting accessory brands that are popular with consumers. At SHOT Show in January, BTI unveiled 38 new products. We are excited about the opportunities for additional growth and profitability that our newly established accessories division will provide us."       

      Jeffrey D. Buchanan, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We were pleased that inventories in our firearm division declined by $14.1 million in the quarter.  During the quarter, we used $100.0 million of our credit line combined with $36.2 million of cash on hand for the acquisition of BTI.  At the end of the quarter, we had $75.0 million available to us associated with the unused portion of the accordion feature of our line of credit and $59.0 million in cash.  Accordingly, our balance sheet remains strong as we enter our fiscal fourth quarter, which seasonally is our strongest quarter for cash generation."    

      Financial Outlook

      For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the company expects net sales to be between $162 million and $166 million and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to be between $0.24 and $0.26.  On a non-GAAP basis, the company expects earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to be between $0.29 and $0.31. (See attached Table 3 - "Reconciliation of Expected GAAP Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations to Expected Non-GAAP Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations".)

      For full fiscal 2015, the company is raising its guidance and now expects net sales to be between $532 million and $536 million and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to be between $0.75 and $0.77.  On a non-GAAP basis,  the company expects earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to be between $0.87 and $0.89. (See attached Table 3 - "Reconciliation of Expected GAAP Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations to Expected Non-GAAP Earnings per  Share from Continuing Operations".)

      Conference Call and Webcast

      The company will host a conference call and webcast today, March 3, 2015, to discuss its third quarter fiscal 2015 financial and operational results. Speakers on the conference call will include James Debney, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jeffrey D. Buchanan, 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). Those interested in listening to the call via telephone may call directly at (866) 825-3209 and reference conference code 40677276.  No RSVP is necessary.  The conference call audio webcast can also be accessed live and for replay on the company's website at www.smith-wesson.com, under the Investor Relations section. The company will maintain an audio replay of this conference call on its website for a period of time after the call. No other audio replay will be available. 

      Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      In this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "non-GAAP income from continuing operations" and "Adjusted EBITDAS" as well as gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, and earnings per share from continuing operations excluding certain costs, expenses, and tax effects 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 GAAP measures that include: (i) fair value inventory step-up and backlog expense, (ii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iii) acquisition-related costs, (iv) debt extinguishment costs, (v) the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, (vi) interest expense, (vii) income taxes, (viii) depreciation and amortization, (ix) stock-based compensation expense, and (x) DOJ and SEC costs, and 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.
