Brian Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am proud of what our team accomplished during fiscal 2026. Our brands continued to resonate with consumers, demonstrated by POS results in our Outdoor Lifestyle category that increased 7% year over year, and in our Shooting Sports category, which increased 1% year over year. At the same time, we delivered meaningful innovation, drove expanded distribution of our brands and products with retailers, took steps to optimize our brand portfolio, and successfully leveraged the agility of our operating model to navigate tariff uncertainty and a dynamic retail environment.

"Innovation remains a key driver of our business, with new products representing over 29% of fiscal 2026 net sales. We continue to build connected ecosystems driven by smart products around our key brands. During the year, we expanded Caldwell's ClayCopter® and Claymore® lines for shotgun enthusiasts, with the Claymore Connect™, as well as the ClayCopter Surface-to-Air™ – a revolutionary, wireless ground launcher that integrates with our Caldwell Clays™ app and makes Caldwell® the only brand that can connect to and simultaneously control up to 10 Claymore Connect or ClayCopter Surface-To-Air launchers, allowing the combination of traditional clays and ClayCopter targets on a single course. We also partnered our BUBBA® brand with Major League Fishing to introduce SCORETRACKER® LIVE, a transformative platform for competitive fishing professionals and everyday anglers that delivers real-time tournament management, scoring, spectating, and excitement via our BUBBA® app and smart fish scales – set to launch to consumers at ICAST in July. These initiatives redefine their respective categories, injecting them with the excitement of gamification and real-time competition. They also underscore our belief that innovation remains one of the most important drivers of consumer engagement, distribution expansion, and long-term growth across our portfolio.

"While fiscal 2026 presented challenges across the industry, our business demonstrated resilience. Throughout the year, our team successfully navigated a rapidly evolving tariff environment, continuing to enhance the flexibility and responsiveness of our supply chain, and preserving our rights to potential tariff refunds. Together with signs of improving retail inventory conditions, these results reinforce our belief that our long-term model remains intact. While we are mindful of the uncertainties that continue to affect the consumer marketplace, we are encouraged by the strength of our brands and the favorable consumer demand reflected in our POS results. We believe that, together, these factors position us well to return to growth in fiscal 2027."

Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer, said, "Fiscal 2026 was a year of disciplined financial execution. We reduced inventory by approximately $9.5 million, delivered gross margins of 44.7%, repurchased over $5 million of our common stock, and ended the year with $21.4 million in cash and no debt. While net sales for the full year and fourth quarter declined from prior periods, a large portion of the decline was attributable

to approximately $10 million of orders that retailers accelerated into the final weeks of fiscal 2025 ahead of anticipated tariff-related price actions. Despite those dynamics, we made meaningful progress throughout the year, and we enter fiscal 2027 with an improved inventory position and a strong balance sheet, which provides us with the flexibility to invest in organic growth initiatives while pursuing strategic opportunities that support long-term shareholder value creation."

**<u>Fiscal 2027 Outlook</u>**

"We believe that the progress we achieved during fiscal 2026, together with the strength of our brands and our innovation pipeline, supports our outlook for fiscal 2027. Accordingly, we expect net sales to be in the range of $200.0 million to $210.0 million, which would represent growth of approximately 5% to 10% compared to fiscal 2026 reported net sales. We expect Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2027 to be in the range of 6.5% to 7.5% of net sales, which at the midpoints, would represent an increase of more than 40% over prior year Adjusted EBITDA," concluded Fulmer.

**<u>Conference Call and Webcast</u>**

The Company will host a conference call and webcast today, Thursday, June 25, 2026, to discuss its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2026 financial and operational results. Speakers on the conference call will include Brian Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew Fulmer, Chief Financial Officer. The conference call may include forward-looking statements and a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. The conference call and webcast will begin at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time). Those interested in listening to the conference call via telephone may call directly at (833) 630-1956 and ask to join the American Outdoor Brands call. No RSVP is necessary. The conference call audio webcast can also be accessed live on the Company's website at www.aob.com, under the Investor Relations section.

**<u>Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>**

In this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including "non-GAAP net income," "Adjusted EBITDA," and net sales adjusted for $10.0 million of orders that were accelerated by retailers from fiscal 2026 into the final weeks of fiscal 2025 are presented. A reconciliation of "non-GAAP net income," "Adjusted EBITDA," and other non-GAAP financial measures is contained at the end of this press release. From time to time, the Company considers and uses these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental measures of operating performance in order to provide the reader with an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. The Company believes it is useful for itself and the reader to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) stock compensation, (iii) impairment of assets held for sale, (iv) non-recurring inventory reserve adjustment, (v) emerging growth status transition costs, (vi) technology implementation, (vii) contract exit costs, (viii) income tax adjustments, (ix) interest income, (x) income tax expense, and (xi) depreciation and amortization; and (2) the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information. The Company presents these non-GAAP measures because it considers them an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes the disclosure of such measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company's definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others. The Company believes these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation

or as a substitute for the Company's GAAP measures. The principal limitations of these measures are that they do not reflect the Company's actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its financial measures on a GAAP basis.
