Fred Wagenhals, AMMO’s Chairman & CEO, commented that “[w]e believe the increase in production capacity at our state-of-the-art Wisconsin plant, coupled with the continuing enhancement rollout to the GunBroker.com Marketplace site, has positioned our Company to effectively navigate current market-wide headwinds resulting from the current inflationary and recessionary drivers impacting the consumer.

“We are primed to take hold of these opportunities. The addition of our newest executive management team member, Jared Smith, President & COO, supports the high level of confidence I have in AMMO’s future. Jared’s experience, the wealth of his relationships, intellect and drive are all valuable assets for our organization as we chart our path forward to a bright future through the balance of this fiscal year and beyond,” Mr. Wagenhals concluded.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2023 Results

We ended the Fiscal 2023 with cash generated from operations of approximately $35.6M and a cash balance of $39.1M. We were able to reduce our total inventories by $12.8M in our fourth fiscal quarter as we shifted our direction to a leaner operating model focusing on higher margin classes of ammunition and increased brass sales, which also afford us higher margins. Additionally, we continue to push forward on the improvements to our Marketplace, GunBroker.com, and expect the payment suite and cart platform to launch in the first half of our 2024 fiscal year, which should drive growth and profitability to the site.

We ended our fourth quarter with total revenues of approximately $43.7M in comparison to approximately $70.1M in the prior year quarter - this was a decrease of 37.7% from the prior year quarter. For the fiscal year, total revenues were $191.4M, decreasing 20.3% from the prior year. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to our ammunition segment and the inflationary impacts that are currently affecting the market. These market conditions also impacted the revenue of our Marketplace segment effecting a 7% decrease from the prior year quarter and a 2% decrease from the prior year in total. However, operating performance of our Marketplace, GunBroker.com still remained strong and although our top line revenues were slightly impacted, our margins are still comparable to historical performance.

Our cost of revenues was approximately $31.8M for the quarter compared to $49M in the comparable prior year quarter. Cost of revenues for the full fiscal year was $136M compared to $151.5M in the prior year. This decrease was related to reduced sales volume and increased commodity costs. Accordingly, this resulted in a gross margin of $11.9M compared to $21.1M in the prior year quarter and $55.4M for the year compared to $88.8 in the prior fiscal year. As our sales volume fell in the reported period, our transition to more profitable sales activity is currently in effect for first quarter of our 2024 fiscal year by shifting our focus to more sales of our premium brass and large caliber ammunition rounds, all of which drive improved margin.

Our balance sheet remains strong with our total current liabilities decreasing by 29% since our previous year end and our total current assets virtually unchanged, but our cash position increased $15.8M since the prior fiscal year or 68%.

For the quarter, we recorded adjusted EBITDA of approximately $3.8M, compared to prior year quarter adjusted EBITDA of $10.7M. For our fiscal year, our adjusted EBITDA was $26.4M compared to $60.8M in the prior fiscal year.

This resulted in a loss per share of $0.04 for the quarter or Adjusted Net Income per Share of $0.03 in comparison to a net income per share of $0.00 in the prior year quarter or Adjusted Net Income per Share of $0.07. For our fiscal year, a loss per share of $0.07 or Adjusted Net Income per Share of $0.16 in comparison to Net Income per share of $0.27 or Adjusted Net Income per Share of $0.46 in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We analyze operational and financial data to evaluate our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total net sales, net loss, and other results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the following information includes key operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our business. We believe these measures are useful for period-to-period comparisons of the Company. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they are key measures we use to evaluate our operational performance, produce future strategies for our operations, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of our resources. Accordingly, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
