This represents a 31% decline from the year-ago figure, but revenue is still 140% higher compared to the same period two years ago.
- "Although the firearms market remains elevated and healthy with new entrants, it has cooled significantly from the height of the pandemic surge and seems to now be following pre-pandemic historical demand patterns," said Mark Smith, president and CEO of Smith & Wesson.
- Despite weak figures, management believes that the company is well positioned to return value to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.
