AXIL Brands, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results
LOS ANGELES, April 8, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
– AXIL Brands, Inc. (“AXIL,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) (NYSE
American: AXIL), an emerging global consumer products company for AXIL® hearing protection and enhancement products and Reviv3®
hair and skin care products, and marketing services for third-party brands today announced financial and operational results for the third
fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2026 (“Q3 2026”).

gross margin in Q3 2026, compared to 71.7% in the prior year period |

of sales in the prior year period |

Quarterly Results:
Net sales increased by $371,663, or 5.4%, to $7,294,030
for the three months ended February 28, 2026, compared to $6,922,367 for the prior-year period, primarily driven by continued growth in
demand for our hearing enhancement and protective equipment products, and partially offset by lower sales in our hair and skin care segment,
which were impacted by the absence of a significant distributor order that was fulfilled in the prior-year period.
Cost of sales increased by $296,270 or 15.1% from
$1,955,939 in the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $2,252,209 in the three months ended February 28, 2026. Cost of sales as a percentage
of net revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was 30.9% as compared to 28.3% for the three months ended February 28, 2025.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased primarily due to increased tariffs.
Gross profit increased by $75,393 or 1.5% from $4,966,428
in the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $5,041,821 for the three months ended February 28, 2026. Gross profit as a percentage of
sales for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was 69.1%, as compared to 71.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2025. Gross
profit as a percentage of sales decreased primarily due to higher customs duties.
Operating expenses increased by $444,263 or 10.1%
from $4,383,319 in the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $4,827,582 in the three months ended February 28, 2026. Operating expenses
as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was 66.2% compared to 63.3% for the three months ended February
28, 2025. Operating expenses increased primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses of approximately $400,000, reflecting increased
investment in retail sales promotional initiatives and efforts to enhance overall brand awareness.
Income from operations for the three months ended
February 28, 2026, was $214,239 compared to $583,109 for the three months ended February 28, 2025. The decrease in income from operations
of $368,870 related primarily to an increase in sales and marketing costs as explained above.
Net income was $203,046 and $576,662 for the three
months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $419,752 or 47.1% from
$890,546 for the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $470,794 for the three months ended February 28, 2026. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage
of sales, net for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, was 6.5% and 12.9%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily
due to an approximately $400,000 increase in retail sales and marketing expenses, reflecting continued investment in our channel diversification
strategy and broader brand-building initiatives aimed at driving long-term revenue growth.
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 $8 million
to $10 million, representing approximately 39% to 74% year-over-year growth, with gross margins for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026
to be in the range of 67% to 71%. For the full fiscal year 2026, we expect revenue in the range of $30.2 million to $32.2 million, which
implies 15% to 23% growth compared to fiscal 2025.
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.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains a number of forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,”
“expect,” “continue,” “will,” “may,” “prepare,” “should,” and
“focus,” among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on currently
available information, and management’s beliefs, projections, and current expectations, and are subject to a number of significant
risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond management’s control and may cause the Company’s results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other things:
(i) the Company’s ability to grow its net sales and operations, including developing new and improved products, diversifying and
expanding its distribution and retail channels, expanding the marketing services business, and growing internationally; (ii) the Company’s
ability to perform in accordance with any guidance provided by management, which may differ from the Company’s actual operating
results; (iii) the Company’s ability to generate sufficient revenue to support the Company’s operations and to raise additional
funds or obtain other forms of financing as needed on acceptable terms, or at all; (iv) potential difficulties or delays the Company may
experience in implementing its cost savings and efficiency initiatives; (v) the Company’s ability to compete effectively with other
companies in its industries; (vi) the concentration of the Company’s customers, potentially increasing the negative impact to the
Company by changing purchasing or selling patterns; (vii) changes in laws or regulations in the United States and/or in other major markets,
such as China, in which the Company operates, including, without limitation, with respect to taxes, tariffs, trade policies or product
safety, which may increase the Company’s product costs and other costs of doing business, and reduce the Company’s earnings;
(viii) continued uncertainty with respect to U.S. trade policies and tariffs and potential tariff refunds; (ix) the Company’s ability
to engage in acquisitions, investments, partnerships, strategic alliances or dispositions when desired; (x) the Company’s
review of strategic alternatives for the hair and skin care business and the timing of any action taken as a result of such review; (xi)
the Company’s ability to successfully accelerate its supply chain transition strategy and achieve the intended benefits; and (xii)
the impact of unstable market and general economic conditions on the Company’s business, financial condition and stock price, including
inflationary cost pressures, the possibility of an economic recession and other macroeconomic factors, geopolitical events, and uncertainty,
increased tariffs and other trade restrictions and barriers, unemployment rates, decreased discretionary consumer spending, supply chain
disruptions and constraints, labor shortages, ongoing economic disruption, the Ukraine-Russia conflict and conflicts in the Middle East,
and other downturns in the business cycle or the economy. There can be no assurance as to any of these matters, and potential investors
are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements. Other important factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s filings with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by
law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information
becomes available in the future.
