AI Summary
Q3 2026

Net sales: Q3 net sales were $56.6 million, down 3.3% YoY but described as ahead of company expectations.

POS strength: Point-of-sale grew 5% in Q3 (company says adjusted POS would be mid-teens excluding two headwinds), supporting product demand at retail.

Margins & tariffs: Gross margin was 41.0%, down 370 basis points, driven by new tariffs (IEPA) and a $1.2 million inventory reserve; the company expects continued margin headwinds into Q4.

Portfolio moves: Management is divesting the UST camping brand and took a $3.4 million noncash impairment related to that decision.

Inventory & cash: Inventory fell to $110.2 million (from $124.0M) and the company ended the quarter debt-free with $10.4 million cash and over $100 million total available capital.

Guidance: The company reiterated full-year fiscal 2026 guidance: net sales $191–$193 million, gross margin 42%–43%, and adjusted EBITDA of 4%–4.5% of net sales.

New product momentum: New products represented over 26% of sales in the quarter; launches (e.g., Caldwell ClayCopter, SCORETRACKER LIVE for BUBBA) are central to the growth strategy.
