For the three months ended January 31, 2026, net sales rose to $135.7 million from $115.9 million, driven mainly by a 34.6% increase in handgun revenue and a shift toward higher-priced new models and a 2%–3% price increase on select products.

Over the nine months, net sales grew modestly to $345.5 million from $333.9 million, while net income fell to $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, versus $4.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as operating margin narrowed to 2.3%.
