Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Results
Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Highlights
- Quarterly net sales were
$210.8 million , an increase of 61.5% over the third quarter last year. Firearms division net sales of$194.7 million increased by 56.4% over the comparable quarter last year. Accessories division net sales were$16.1 million , compared with$6.1 million for the comparable quarter last year, a period in which the company acquiredBattenfeld Technologies, Inc. (BTI) and therefore reported only six weeks of accessories division sales. - Gross margin for the quarter was 41.1% compared with 33.6% for the comparable quarter last year.
- Quarterly GAAP net income was
$31.4 million , or$0.56 per diluted share, compared with$8.1 million , or$0.15 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. Third quarter 2016 GAAP net income per diluted share included an expense of$1.7 million for amortization, net of tax, related to the BTI acquisition. The increase in net income over the comparable quarter last year was a result of increased revenue, favorable fixed-cost absorption, and lower acquisition related expenses, partially offset by increased profit related compensation accruals and additional intangible amortization expense as a result of the BTI acquisition. - Quarterly non-GAAP net income was
$33.2 million , or$0.59 per diluted share, compared with$11.2 million , or$0.20 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. - Quarterly non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS was
$61.5 million , or 29.2% of net sales.
