Total net sales were $126.8 million, up 3.7% year over year, while gross margin fell to 15.1% from 18.5% as product mix, higher material/technology costs, sales promotions, and $1.4 million of operating costs at the new Hebron facility weighed on profitability. The company posted operating loss of $3.5 million but recorded net income of $1.6 million ($0.10 per diluted share) driven by an income tax benefit. New products contributed $40.6 million, or 33.7% of firearm sales.

Year to date, total net sales were $395.0 million, up 1.3%, but the company recorded a net loss of $7.9 million, reflecting inventory rationalization write-offs and closeouts that reduced sales by $5.7 million and included a $17.0 million inventory write-off. Liquidity remains solid with cash and short-term investments of $80.8 million, no borrowings on a $40 million credit line, and a current ratio of 3.5. Ruger acquired substantially all assets of Anderson Manufacturing for $15.8 million to expand capacity, repurchased 730,665 shares for $26.0 million, and paid $9.5 million in dividends year to date. After quarter-end, the Board adopted a limited-duration stockholder rights plan with a 10% trigger and declared a $0.04 per share dividend.

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. adopted a shareholder rights plan and declared a dividend of one Right for each common share outstanding as of October 24, 2025. Each Right becomes exercisable after a Distribution Date and permits the purchase of one common share at $200, subject to adjustment. The plan is designed to activate if any person becomes an “Acquiring Person,” generally at 10% beneficial ownership, with specified exceptions for certain passive institutional investors.

On a flip-in event, each Right (other than those of the Acquiring Person and related parties) entitles the holder to receive securities, cash, or assets valued at two times the purchase price. The Board may also exchange each Right for one common share before any holder reaches 50% ownership, or redeem all Rights for $0.001 per Right any time before the Distribution Date. The Rights expire the day before the first anniversary of the October 14, 2025 agreement, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged, or amended as permitted.
