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 plans to move our headquarters and certain of our manufacturing operations to a new facility being constructed in Maryville, Tennessee; lease payments for future periods; estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for future periods; our intention to terminate the Sublease (as defined herein) on or around the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as defined herein); our intention to occupy our Connecticut facility through the lease term; the outcome of the lawsuits to which we are subject and their effect on us; our belief that the claims asserted by Gemini (as defined herein) and plaintiffs in a putative class action against us have no merit and that we intend to aggressively defend these actions; our belief with respect to certain matters described in the Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation section, that the allegations are unfounded and that any incident and any results from them or any injuries were due to negligence or misuse of the firearm by the claimant or a third party; our belief that our accruals for product liability cases and claims are a reasonable quantitative measure of the cost to us of product liability cases and claims; our belief that we have provided adequate accruals for defense costs; our expectation to incur capital expenditures in connection with the construction and equipping of the new facility in Maryville, Tennessee in an aggregate amount of approximately $160.0 million to $170.0 million through the end of fiscal 2024; our intention, with respect to assets associated with our assembly operations in Massachusetts and distribution operations in Missouri, to either move those assets to the Maryville facility at the appropriate time or sell or sublease those assets that will not be moved; our expectation that subsequent to the Relocation, our Massachusetts facility will continue to remain an important part of our manufacturing activities with significant portions of the operations being unaffected by the Relocation; our intention to relocate a portion of the plastic injection molding operations to Tennessee, which is expected to begin in our second quarter of 2023, and evaluate selling the remaining molding operations utilized in our Connecticut operations to a third party; our inventory levels, both internally and in the distribution channel, in excess of demand may negatively impact future operating results; our expectation that our inventory levels will decline by the end of the fiscal year due to the completion of a significant portion of the operational transition to the new Maryville facility combined with alignment of production capacity to channel inventory and consumer demand; our expectation for capital expenditures in fiscal 2024, including spending related to the Relocation; factors affecting our future capital requirements; availability of equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, if at all; the record date and payment date for our dividend; and our belief that our existing capital resources and credit facilities will be adequate to fund our operations, including our finance leases and other commitments, for the next 12 months. 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 hereof 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 others, economic, political, social, legislative, regulatory, inflationary, and health factors; the potential for increased regulation of firearms and firearm-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 effectively manage and execute the Relocation; 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; our ability to introduce new products; the success of new products; our ability to expand our markets; 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, 2023, or the Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

For the Three Months Ended July 31, 2023 and 2022

 

 

(1) Organization:

We are one of the world’s leading manufacturers and designers of firearms. We manufacture a wide array of handguns (including revolvers and pistols), long guns (including modern sporting rifles), handcuffs, firearm suppressors, and other firearm-related products for sale to a wide variety of customers, including firearm enthusiasts, collectors, hunters, sportsmen, competitive shooters, individuals desiring home and personal protection, law enforcement and security agencies and officers, and military agencies in the United States and throughout the world. We sell our products under the Smith & Wesson, M&P, and Gemtech brands. We manufacture our products at our facilities in Springfield, Massachusetts; Houlton, Maine; and Deep River, Connecticut. During the quarter ended July 31, 2023, we began moving inventory into our new Maryville, Tennessee facility and began distribution activities from there in August 2023. We also sell our manufacturing services to other businesses to attempt to level-load our factories. We sell those services under our Smith & Wesson and Smith & Wesson Precision Components brands. We plan to move our headquarters and certain of our other manufacturing operations to the new facility being constructed in Maryville. See Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies and Note 10 — Restructuring for more information regarding this plan.

(2) Basis of Presentation:

Interim Financial Information – The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 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 for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and for the periods presented, have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2023 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 Fiscal 2023 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2023 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024, or any other period.

(3) Leases:

We lease certain of our real estate, machinery, equipment, and photocopiers under non-cancelable operating and finance lease agreements.

We recognize expenses for our operating lease assets and liabilities at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease 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, we recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant improvement allowances are recorded as an offsetting adjustment included in our calculation of the respective right-of-use asset.

Many of our leases include renewal options that enable us to extend the lease term. The execution of those renewal options is at our sole discretion and renewals are 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.

During the three months ended July 31, 2023, we recorded $386,000 of operating lease costs, of which $26,000 related to short-term leases that were not recorded as right-of-use assets. We recorded $566,000 of finance lease amortization and $474,000 of financing lease interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2023. As of July 31, 2023, the weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for our operating leases was 2.8 years and 4.4%, respectively. As of July 31, 2023, the weighted average lease term and weighted average discount rate for our financing leases were 15.1 years and 5.0%, respectively, and consisted primarily of our Missouri distribution center. The building is pledged to secure the amounts outstanding. 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.

On October 26, 2017, we entered into (a) a lease agreement with Ryan Boone County, LLC, or the Original Missouri Landlord, concerning certain real property located in Boone County, Missouri on which we had, until recently, been operating a distribution center, or the Missouri Lease, and (b) a guaranty in favor of the Original Missouri Landlord, or the Guaranty. With the completion of the spin-off of our outdoor products and accessories business on August 24, 2020, or the Separation, we entered into a sublease whereby American Outdoor Brands, Inc., our former wholly owned subsidiary, or AOUT, subleases from us 59.0% of our Missouri distribution center under the same terms as the Missouri Lease, or the Missouri Sublease. On July 16, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Sublease, increasing the leased space to 64.7% of the facility under the same terms as the Missouri Lease. On January 31, 2023, we entered into (i) an assignment and assumption agreement with AOUT, pursuant to which AOUT will assume all of our rights, entitlement, and obligations in, to, and under the Missouri Lease, in each case effective on January 1, 2024, subject to a number of conditions precedent, or the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and (ii) an amended and restated guaranty in favor of RCS-S&W Facility, LLC, as successor in interest to the Original Missouri Landlord, pursuant to which Smith & Wesson Sales Company was added as a guarantor, or the Amended and Restated Guaranty. We intend to terminate the Missouri Sublease on or around the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. As of July 31, 2023, income related to the Missouri Sublease was $581,000, of which $289,000 was recorded in general and administrative expenses and $292,000 was recorded in interest expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of income. In addition, we intend to occupy our Connecticut facility through the lease term. As of July 31, 2023, we do not believe there are any indications of impairment relating to these right-of-use assets.
