Steve Urvan, Outdoor Holding Company’s Chairman and CEO, commented “Our first quarter marks a turning point as we aggressively reshape the business to focus on operational efficiency, core marketplace growth, and disciplined capital allocation. We’ve implemented decisive cost-reduction measures, realigned our teams, and renewed our commitment to enhancing the GunBroker.com platform. We are building a more agile and focused company that can better deliver long-term value for stockholders.”
The Company delivered solid financial and operational performance for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, reflecting early indications of a successful execution of its strategic transformation. Following the completed sale of its ammunition manufacturing division and recent corporate rebranding to Outdoor Holding Company, the Company is now singularly focused on scaling its e-commerce marketplace platform, GunBroker.com. Along with corporate restructuring designed to unlock post-divestiture efficiencies, we expect this transformation will enable increased operational focus, improved capital allocation, and a commitment to cost efficiency and growth in gross merchandise value (“GMV”).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present a non-GAAP financial measure in this press release, Adjusted EBITDA. We analyze operational and financial data to evaluate our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total net sales, net loss, and other results under GAAP, the following information includes a non-GAAP financial measure that we use to evaluate our business. We believe that this measure is useful for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s performance. We have included this non-GAAP financial measure in this press release because it is a key measure management uses to evaluate our operational performance, produce future strategies for our operations, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of our resources. Accordingly, we believe that this measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that displays our net loss from continuing operations, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding (i) provision or benefit for income taxes, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest expense, net, (iv) share-based compensation expenses relating to employee stock awards and common stock purchase options, (v) other income (expense), net, (vi) expenses related to acquisition and divestitures, (vii) professional service and legal fees related to an investigation conducted by a special committee of the Board of Directors, a pending investigation of the Staff of the SEC Division of Enforcement and the lawsuits involving Mr. Urvan and the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery and (vii) other nonrecurring expenses, such as contingent liabilities associated with litigation or settlements and corporate restructuring costs costs related toseverance, headcount reductions, and reducing the Company’s physical footprint.
We believe that it is useful to exclude these expenses because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following:
● | employee stock awards and common stock purchase options expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for the Company and an important part of our compensation strategy; | |
● | the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and the non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures or other capital commitments; | |
● | non-GAAP measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and | |
● | other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. |
Because of these limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Steve Urvan
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Outdoor Holding Company (Nasdaq: POWW and POWWP)
Dear Fellow Stockholders,
It is time to usher in a new era for Outdoor Holding Company (the “Company”). The first quarter of fiscal 2026 represents a turning point as we transition to a streamlined, focused e-commerce marketplace operator. With the successful closing of the sale of our ammunition division in April 2025 and the launch of our new corporate identity, we are moving forward with clarity, purpose, and momentum. I rejoined the executive management team as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors at the end of May. As the Founder of the GunBroker marketplace, I look forward to leveraging my decades of prior experience at the helm to hearken back to what has made the platform so successful historically, while helping the Company evolve into its next iteration.
Today, we are now singularly focused on GunBroker.com, the largest online marketplace for firearms, hunting, and outdoor products. The transformation has been calculated, strategic, and essential. We’ve closed a challenging chapter that included litigation, internal investigations, delayed financial filings, and regulatory reviews. These challenges have required a significant amount of our time and resources to properly address. While we still anticipate some legal and indemnification-related expenses over the next 12 to 18 months, we believe the heaviest burdens are behind us and our elevated legal and other professional services expenses should decline over the coming quarters.
We’ve taken deliberate and effective steps to restore compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. Our financial reporting is current, and upon holding our annual meeting on August 29th, the Company will be in full compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules. As legacy issues fade and performance improves, we expect the performance of our stock to reflect the Company’s true potential. Our financial foundation is strengthening, our compliance posture has improved considerably, and the road ahead is far clearer.
We are simultaneously executing an ambitious restructuring initiative—consolidating redundant functions, eliminating excess overhead, and reducing our physical footprint. We fully expect these moves to drive meaningful reductions in SG&A and directly improve Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow, as we progress through the end of the fiscal year. Despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds, we reported stable net revenue of almost
When I compare the GunBroker platform at the time of the AMMO-GunBroker merger in 2021 to the GunBroker platform in 2025, I see a business that continues to be the dominant technology player in the firearms space. 2020 and 2021 saw an industry-wide surge in consumer demand that drove revenues to record heights - bringing more buyers online and increasing the breadth of our demographic base. Over the past 17 years, I have observed similar patterns of surging demand followed by periods of weaker demand - to the point that, in my experience, such a pattern has been normal for the industry since 2008. I want to reassure our stockholders that GunBroker gained a great many new customers through each of these surges, including the most recent surge in 2020-2021, and has not lost market share or its preeminent position in the industry. While revenue may be down industry-wide in any given year, GunBroker’s share of the industry has remained stable.
Our challenge at the moment is not the performance of the GunBroker business, but rather our SG&A. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we experienced increased costs at the corporate level related to the winding down of the operations supporting the ammunition manufacturing business that were not included in the sale. These costs are decreasing monthly, and we expect to eliminate the vast majority of them by the end of Q3 2026.
We also have experienced significant and debilitating legal and compliance costs related to the Section 10A investigation, an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and related indemnification of former officers and directors. Additionally, we continue to incur extraordinary costs in the course of litigation, resolution of sales tax audits from years ago, disclosure and regulatory counsel advisors, and various accounting and internal controls consultants. These abnormal costs are, and will continue to be, a drag on our corporate operating expenses - lowering our profitability metrics. The good news is that these costs are largely a short-term aberration, and we expect them to abate as legal issues are resolved, processes are improved, and material weaknesses are remediated. We are not in control of the timeline to discontinue or dramatically reduce these costs, but our best estimate at this time is that we will see significant reductions within the next 12-18 months.
I believe that Outdoor Holding Company will be on a run rate of
GunBroker’s operational performance remains strong despite industry headwinds. We continue to experience increases in listings and registered users, reflecting improved seller engagement and platform visibility. We expect that enhancements in buyer personalization, seller tools, and search functionality will result in stronger conversion rates, higher average order values, and improved customer satisfaction. We are building momentum where it matters most.
Our strategy is laser-focused on unlocking stockholder value and growing the GunBroker ecosystem by enhancing the user experience. Our key strategic initiatives for the remainder of fiscal 2026 include:
- Growth: Launching universal payment processing to drive electronic transactions, decrease transaction friction, increase GMV, and accelerate user adoption to further leverage network effects, which will lead to a direct and substantial increase in high margin revenue;
- Investment: Repurchasing shares (subject to Board approval);
- Cost Reduction: Advancing our restructuring efforts to further streamline the business and reduce operational costs; and
- User Experience: Implementing further user enhancements to the platform with new tools, analytics, and personalization features to deliver best-in-class buyer and seller experiences.
We’ve done a lot of the heavy lifting, but there is still work to be done. We are now positioned to emerge from recent storms and to focus on operations: scaling, innovating, and growing. I am energized by the opportunities ahead—and confident in our ability to build sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.
Thank you for your continued support and trust.
Sincerely,
Steve Urvan
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
