Management Commentary:
“Seasonal order patterns coupled with incremental spending required in connection with our retail distribution expansion temporarily compressed our margins and bottom line in the fiscal third quarter of 2026. That said, we are on track for a strong finish to the year, and expect the increased investment in marketing and customer experience to drive long-term revenue expansion, deepen brand awareness, and strengthen our competitive position now and for the future. We have maintained our profitability, maintained the integrity of our balance sheet, and we’re looking ahead to some very exciting milestones in the future, as we execute on our strategy to scale AXIL into a multi-channel, high-growth consumer platform.
“Our hearing protection business remains the engine of growth, supported by expanding national retail partnerships and increasing demand across both professional and consumer markets, and the use-case is expanding as more retailers like Walmart sign on with us and carry our products. We estimate that our total store count where Axil products are currently being sold is approximately 6,000 compared to less than 1,800 at the end of last year, and believe that looking forward, there is an opportunity for AXIL products to reach a store count that is significantly higher than where it is today.
“As we move through the remainder of fiscal 2026, we remain focused on disciplined execution, scaling revenue, optimizing our cost structure, and capitalizing on the significant opportunities in front of us. We believe AXIL is still in the early stages of its growth trajectory, and we are confident in our ability to build a larger, more profitable, and more valuable company for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Toghraie.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook
Based on our current visibility and assumptions regarding continued retail expansion and other factors, we expect revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 to be in the range of
Store Count
The Company believes that the number of retail stores selling its products is an important indicator of growth. Store count is measured as of the end of the fiscal quarter. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will achieve the anticipated growth in store count.
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 income, calculated in accordance with GAAP is included in a schedule to this press release.
