Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

 

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained or incorporated herein by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future operating results, future financial position, business strategy, objectives, goals, plans, prospects, markets, and plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targets,” “contemplates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “can,” “potential,” “continue,” “objective,” or the negative of those terms, or similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include statements regarding the impact, if any, of recently issued accounting standards on our consolidated financial statements; the expected performance of acquired businesses; our assessment of factors relating to the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, the timing for such evaluations, and the potential adjustment in such evaluations; assessments that we make about determining segments and reporting units; the features of our outstanding debt and our expectation that our interest rate swap will not have any material effect on our earnings or our consolidated financial statements within the next 12 months; estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for future periods; the potential for impairment charges; the outcome of the lawsuits to which we are subject and their effect on us; our belief that inventory levels, both internally and in the distribution channel, in excess of demand, may negatively impact future operating results; our belief that it is difficult to forecast the potential impact of distributor inventories on future revenue and income as demand is impacted by many factors, including seasonality, new product introductions, news events, political events,  and consumer tastes; the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or Tax Reform, on our operating results, including our belief that Tax Reform will be a benefit to us and reduce our effective tax rate; the effects of acquisitions on our overall financial performance; our assessment of our acquisitions, including the quality and strength of their products; our assessment of consumer demand and factors that stimulate demand for our products; the effect on our business of various factors, including terrorism and the level of political pressures on firearm laws and regulations; future investments for capital expenditures; future products and product developments; the features, quality, and performance of our products; the success of particular product or marketing programs; our market share and factors that affect our market share; and liquidity and anticipated cash needs and availability. All forward-looking statements included herein are based on information available to us as of the date hereof and speak only as of such date. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. The forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future events, results, performance, or achievements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other, economic, social, political, legislative, and regulatory factors; the potential for increased regulation of firearms and firearms-related products; actions of social activists that could have an adverse effect on our business; the impact of lawsuits; the demand for our products; the state of the U.S. economy in general and the firearm industry in particular; general economic conditions and consumer spending patterns; our competitive environment; the supply, availability, and costs of raw materials and components; speculation surrounding fears of terrorism and crime; our anticipated growth and growth opportunities; our ability to increase demand for our products in various markets, including consumer, law enforcement, and military channels, domestically and internationally; our penetration rates in new and existing markets; our strategies; our ability to maintain and enhance brand recognition and reputation; risks associated with the establishment of our new 632,000 square foot national logistics facility including the expected benefits; our ability to introduce new products; the success of new products; our ability to expand our markets; our ability to integrate acquired businesses in a successful manner; the general growth of our outdoor products and accessories business; the potential for cancellation of orders from our backlog; and other factors detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, filed with the SEC on June 19, 2019.

We develop and market our outdoor products and accessories at our facilities in Columbia, Missouri and Wilsonville, Oregon.

(2) Basis of Presentation:

Interim Financial Information – The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of (loss)/income and comprehensive (loss)/income for the three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended July 31, 2019, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared by us without audit. In our opinion, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows at July 31, 2019 and for the periods presented, have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2019 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2019 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2020, or any other period.

Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which became effective for us on May 1, 2018. Generally, all performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment but could be delayed until the receipt of customer acceptance.

In some instances, sales include multiple performance obligations. The most common of these instances relates to sales promotion programs that entitle customers to receive free goods based upon their purchase of our products. The fulfillment of these free goods are our responsibility. In such instances, we allocate the revenue of the promotional sales based on the estimated level of participation in the sales promotional program and the timing of the shipment of all of the products included in the promotional program, including the free goods. We recognize revenue proportionally as each performance obligation is satisfied, based on the relative transaction price of each product. The net change in contract liabilities for a given period is reported as an increase or decrease to sales.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the Three Months Ended July 31, 2019 and 2018

 

Our product sales are generally sold free on board, or FOB, shipping point and provide payment terms to most commercial customers ranging from 20 to 90 days of product shipment with a discount available to some customers for early payment. For contracts with discounted terms, we determine the transaction price upon establishment of the contract that contains the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. We estimate variable consideration relative to the amount of cash discounts to which customers are likely to be entitled. In some instances, we provide longer payment terms, particularly as it relates to our hunting dating programs, which represent payment terms due in the fall for certain orders of hunting products received in the spring and summer. We do not consider these extended terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than one year. In all cases, we consider our costs related to shipping and handling to be a cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or ASU 2016-02, which amends the existing guidance to require lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in a classified balance sheet. The most prominent among the changes in the standard is the requirement for lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. The requirements of this ASU are effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We utilized leasing software to assist us in the accounting and tracking of leases and used the optional transitional method allowed by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842 Targeted Improvements. Under this method, we applied the standard using the modified retrospective method with an adoption date of May 1, 2019. We elected to use the package of practical expedients, which permits us to not reassess certain lease contract provisions. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective May 1, 2019 and recognized right-of-use assets of $11.5 million, lease liabilities of $12.8 million. The difference between the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities of $1.3 million is a result of the reclassification of deferred rent and lease incentive liabilities primarily relating to our real estate operating leases into the right-of use assets, which had no impact to retained earnings. See also Note 3 – Leases, for more information.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model and adds certain new required disclosures. Under the expected loss model, entities will recognize credit losses to be incurred over the entire contractual term of the instrument rather than delaying recognition of credit losses until it is probable the loss has been incurred. The requirements of this ASU are effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, which we do not expect to be material.

(3) Leases:

We lease certain of our real estate, machinery, photocopiers, and vehicles under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. On May 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The most prominent among the changes in the standard is the requirement for lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. We adopted Topic 842 using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at May 1, 2019. 

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease agreements do not require material variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, or restrictive covenants. For operating leases, expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances are recorded as an offsetting adjustment included in our calculation of its right-of-use asset.

Many of our leases include renewal options that can extend the lease term. The execution of those renewal options is at our sole discretion and reflected in the lease term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.

We recorded $1.0 million of operating lease costs, of which $200,000 were short-term operating lease costs, $535,000 of financing lease amortization, and $520,000 of financing lease interest expense during the three months ended July 31, 2019. As of July 31, 2019, our weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for our operating leases was 4.8 years and 4.6%, respectively. As of July 31, 2019, our weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for our financing leases was 19.0 years and 5.0%, respectively, and consists primarily of our national logistics facility located in Columbia, Missouri. The depreciable lives of right-of-use assets are limited by the lease term and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

(4) Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers:

On May 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective approach, and recorded a contract liability, included in accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance

sheet, for outstanding performance obligations related to sales promotions. When evaluating our performance obligations, we disaggregate revenue based on major product lines, which correlate with our reportable segments disclosed in Note 11Segment Reporting. Also, domestic sales account for 95% of our total net sales. There are no significant judgments or estimates used in the determination of performance obligations, and the transaction price for the performance obligations are allocated on a pro-rata basis. There are no other contract costs that need to be considered based on the nature of our performance obligations.

The following table outlines the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on revenue recognized during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):
