American Outdoor Brands Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Results
Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Highlights
- Quarterly net sales were
$162.0 million compared with$157.4 million for the third quarter last year, an increase of 2.9%. - Gross margin for the quarter was 33.4% compared with 29.8% for the third quarter last year.
- Based upon long-term sales forecasts for its Electro-Optics operating unit, the company has decided to restructure and combine that business with its Outdoor Products & Accessories operating unit in order to drive efficiencies and increase operating performance. As a result of those forecasts, the company conducted an evaluation to assess the fair value of the Electro-Optics operating unit and, as a result, recorded a
$10.4 million partial impairment of the goodwill in that operating unit during the third quarter. - Including that impairment, the company recorded a quarterly GAAP net loss of
$5.7 million , or$(0.10) per diluted share, compared with$11.4 million , or$0.21 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. Prior year GAAP results included a one-time, tax reform benefit of$0.17 . Excluding the impairment, quarterly GAAP net income in the current third quarter would have been$4.7 million , or$0.09 per diluted share. - Quarterly Non-GAAP net income was
$8.9 million , or$0.16 per diluted share, compared with$4.7 million , or$0.09 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments to net income exclude a number of acquisition-related costs, including amortization, one-time transaction costs, fair value inventory step-up expense, one-time tax reform benefits, and the goodwill impairment from the Electro-Optics division. For a detailed reconciliation, see the schedules that follow in this release. - Quarterly non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS improved to
$24.4 million , or 15.0% of net sales, compared with$20.0 million , or 12.7% of net sales, for the comparable quarter last year.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "non-GAAP net income," "Adjusted EBITDAS," and "free cash flow" are presented. From time-to-time, the company considers and uses these supplemental measures of operating performance in order to provide the reader with an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. The company believes it is useful for itself and the reader to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) transition costs, (iii) acquisition-related costs, (iv) fair value inventory step-up, (v) the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, (vi) net cash (used in)/provided by operating activities, (vii) net cash used in investing activities, (viii) acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, (ix) interest expense (x) income tax (benefit)/expense, (xi) depreciation and amortization, (xii) stock-based compensation expenses, (xiii) changes in contingent consideration; and (xiv) goodwill impairment; and (2) the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information. The company presents these non-GAAP measures because it considers them an important supplemental measure of its performance. The company's definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others. The company believes these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's GAAP measures. The principal limitations of these measures are that they do not reflect the company's actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its financial measures on a GAAP basis.
