“Fiscal 2025 was a pivotal year for AXIL as we continued to execute our strategic plan and delivered solid results amid a dynamic operating environment,” said Jeff Toghraie, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AXIL Brands, Inc. “Despite global trade challenges, we achieved our third consecutive year of profitability, generating
“To reduce tariff exposure and enhance stability in our expansion plans, we have accelerated efforts to relocate a substantial portion of our manufacturing and operations to the United States. We believe these changes will deliver significant long-term benefits.
“Equally important, we secured a major wholesale partnership with one of the nation’s largest membership-based retailers — a milestone that we expect will drive meaningful top-line growth beginning in fiscal 2026. Beyond the immediate financial impact, we believe this relationship will substantially expand our national reach and elevate brand visibility at scale — a powerful endorsement of our product strength and market readiness.
“We also launched Sharper Vision Marketing, a wholly-owned subsidiary designed with the intent to turn our internal digital marketing expertise into an external revenue stream while lowering our own customer acquisition costs. At the same time, we advanced our supply chain transition strategy — hitting key milestones in our shift toward U.S.-based manufacturing, which is already helping us offset new tariff pressures and reduce reliance on overseas suppliers.
“In our Reviv3® hair and skin care segment, we added seasoned leadership in an effort to accelerate expansion. Early traction is encouraging, and we expect that this segment will become an increasingly meaningful contributor to our growth story.
“We enter fiscal 2026 with strong momentum, a solid balance sheet, and the flexibility to invest in growth without relying on outside capital,” concluded Mr. Toghraie. “While we remain mindful of broader macroeconomic uncertainty, we’re focused on scaling our multi-channel distribution and product innovation to drive sustainable, long-term value for shareholders.”
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company calculates EBITDA by taking net income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and adjusting for income taxes, interest income or expense, and depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted for stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is also presented as a percentage of revenue, which is calculated by dividing the non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for a period by revenue for the same period. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA important indicators in evaluating the Company’s business on a consistent basis across various periods for trend analyses. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable financial measure, net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP is included in a schedule to this press release.
