ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Introduction
Outdoor Holding Company ("Outdoor Holding," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") began its operations in 2017 as a vertically integrated producer of high-performance ammunition and premium components. Following the acquisition of the GunBroker business ("GunBroker") in 2021, we conducted operations through two operating and reportable segments, Ammunition and Marketplace. The Ammunition segment engaged in the design, production and marketing of ammunition, ammunition components and related products. The Marketplace segment consists of the GunBroker e-commerce marketplace (“Marketplace”), which, in its role as an auction site, supports the lawful sale of firearms, ammunition, and hunting/shooting accessories. In addition, GunBroker helps provide the outdoors community with a state and federal compliant solution that connects buyers with sellers across the United States with local federally licensed firearm dealers. The Marketplace allows our base of approximately 8.4 million users to follow ownership policies and regulations through our network of over 32,000 federally licensed firearms dealers as transfer agents. The nature and operation of the Marketplace as an online auction and sales platform also affords our Company a view into the total domestic market for the purpose of understanding sales trends at a granular level across all elements of the outdoor and sports shooting space.
Prior to the Transaction (defined below), our Ammunition segment manufactured small arms ammunition and their components for the commercial, military, and law enforcement communities. Our manufacturing operations were based out of Manitowoc, Wisconsin ("WI"). We emphasized an American heritage by using predominantly American-made components and raw materials in our products that were produced, inspected, and packaged at our facility in Manitowoc, WI.
Discontinued Operations - Ammunition Segment
During the year ended March 31, 2025, our Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") initiated a formal review of various strategic alternatives. This review resulted in the unanimous decision to sell the Ammunition segment. On January 20, 2025, after a competitive bidding process, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Olin Winchester, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to (i) acquire all assets of our business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing and selling ammunition and ammunition components (collectively, the “Ammunition Manufacturing Business”) along with certain assets related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, including the Ammunition Manufacturing Business' dedicated manufacturing facility in Manitowoc, WI and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, for a gross purchase price of $75.0 million, subject to adjustments for estimated net working capital and real property costs and pro-rations (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on April 18, 2025. The net proceeds after all adjustments totaled approximately $42.9 million. On April 21, 2025, the Company changed its name from "AMMO, Inc." to "Outdoor Holding Company." During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Ammunition segment met the held for sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. For information on discontinued operations, refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements under the caption "Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" and Note 4, "Discontinued Operations".
Following the Transaction, we continue to operate our online Marketplace business. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures included in this Item 1, Business reflect only our continuing operations. Refer to Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for additional details on discontinued operations.
GunBroker Marketplace
GunBroker is a leading online marketplace dedicated to firearms, hunting, shooting and related products. GunBroker does not hold any inventory, except for merchandise bearing its own branding, and instead facilitates transactions between third-party buyers and sellers. All transactions involving firearms are governed by federal and state laws and require the use of licensed firearms dealers, or Federal Firearms License holders (“FFLs”), to ensure legal compliance for transfer and delivery of regulated items. The Marketplace supports a robust compliance framework through a nationwide network of more than 32,000 active FFLs who assist in the lawful transfer of regulated items. As of March 31, 2025, GunBroker had approximately 8.4 million registered users and averaged 3.67 million daily listings, underscoring its scale and leadership position in the U.S. online marketplace for outdoor and shooting sports products.
Platform Enhancements and Services
Throughout fiscal year 2025, we implemented a series of platform enhancements aimed at improving user engagement, streamlining transactions, and providing value-added services to both individual users and industry partners. The enhancements include the following:
•Enhanced Shopping Cart Experience: Buyers can now purchase multiple items from multiple sellers in a single checkout process, improving transaction flow and user convenience.
•Improved Checkout for Auctions and Offers: Won auctions, accepted offers, and add-on items now flow through the cart checkout system, providing a seamless purchasing experience.
•Outdoor Analytics: Formerly known as GunBroker Analytics, this tool provides participants, including sellers, manufacturers, and industry stakeholders, with access to actionable insights based on the platform’s extensive transaction and listing data.
•GunBroker Advertising: Assists sellers, manufacturers and service providers in promoting their listings and businesses through targeted digital advertising. Offers include content development, promotional emails, and banner advertisements tailored to the outdoor and shooting sports communities.
•New Homepage Redesign: We launched a fully re-imagined GunBroker.com homepage to deliver a more modern, intuitive, and efficient user experience. The redesign features enhanced visual layout, simplified navigation, dynamic promotional banners, and configurable widgets.
•Manufacturer Rebates and Buy Links: GunBroker actively promotes manufacturer rebates through its website and email campaigns. Listings with qualifying Universal Product Codes are automatically included in these promotions. Additionally, we collaborate with manufacturers to feature direct purchase links on their websites, guiding customers to new items available on GunBroker.com.
•Collector’s Elite Platform: This premium marketplace tier supports curated, high-value listings for rare and collectible firearms. Collector’s Elite offers sellers specialized exposure, and an exclusive listing format tailored to discerning buyers.
•Financing Tools for Sellers: We introduced integrated financing options that enable sellers to offer flexible payment plans to qualified buyers, helping expand purchasing power and drive sales of higher-value items.
These enhancements reflect our ongoing investment in platform innovation and our strategic commitment to supporting both buyer satisfaction and seller success. 	
Enhance Market Share, Brand Recognition, and Customer Loyalty
We benefit from strong brand recognition within the outdoor and shooting sports market, supported by a consistent focus on compliance, platform reliability, and user experience. Our commitment to personalized seller tools, promotional features, and curated product offerings has contributed to high levels of customer loyalty and repeat engagement across both buyer and seller communities.
Our Growth Strategy
We are committed to expanding our market share, brand recognition, and customer loyalty by improving the user experience and expanding our merchandise and service offerings. Our strategy includes leveraging GunBroker’s proprietary data to identify emerging market trends and refining our business model accordingly. We also plan to evaluate targeted investments and disciplined capital allocation.
Marketing
We promote our Marketplace primarily through digital and platform-driven strategies aimed at both buyer acquisition and seller growth. Our marketing programs include targeted digital campaigns, social media engagement, email promotions, content marketing, and search engine optimization. We also offer sellers enhanced visibility tools such as video-enabled listings, promotional coupons, and customizable storefronts to support brand presence and conversion.
These initiatives are complemented by advertising solutions such as banner placements, curated product showcases, and manufacturer partnerships to drive shopper traffic and campaign performance. Our use of platform
data and behavioral insights enables personalized outreach that deepens engagement and drives return visits.
Technology and Product Development
We are focused on advancing e-commerce capabilities that reflect marketplace best practices. In March 2024, we launched a multi-item cart and an integrated payment experience to streamline checkout, improve order accuracy, and support regulated/unregulated item fulfillment. These updates empower sellers and enhance the buyer experience, including FFL delivery and multi-address shipping.
We continue to invest in platform optimization, including listing tools, buyer-seller communication, and analytics-based enhancements. Our internal teams leverage transaction and behavioral data to fuel ongoing innovation in areas such as personalized recommendations, marketing automation, and seller support services. These initiatives are designed to support scalability, compliance, and long-term growth.
Customers
We serve a broad ecosystem of customers, including:
•Buyers: Outdoor enthusiasts, sport shooters, collectors, and general consumers of firearms and related products.
•Sellers: Ranging from individual users and small businesses to large-scale retailers and manufacturers.
•Industry Partners: Includes FFLs, manufacturers, media and publishing organizations, and service providers who utilize our tools, analytics platforms, and advertising services to enhance their reach and operational efficiency.
As the platform expands, we are positioned to support not just buyer-seller transactions but also value-added services across advertising, analytics, and market visibility for brands operating in the outdoor category.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive and evolving e-commerce landscape for firearms, shooting sports, and outdoor gear. Our competition spans across multiple channels and business models:
•Peer-to-Peer Marketplaces: We face direct competition from other online platforms facilitating firearms transactions between individual users, including marketplaces and other models that offer classified listings and fixed-price selling options.
•E-commerce-Enabled Dealers: Chains and independent firearms dealers increasingly utilize third-party e-commerce platforms or their own integrated point-of-sale websites to list and sell inventory. These dealer-driven platforms compete for traffic, price competitiveness, and fulfillment flexibility, often leveraging in-store pickup or localized promotions as advantages.
•Manufacturers with Direct-to-Consumer Capabilities: Certain manufacturers, including Palmetto State Armory and Freedom Munitions, market and sell their products directly to consumers through their own online storefronts. This model allows them to bypass intermediaries, manage pricing directly, and retain higher margins, presenting competitive pressure on marketplaces.
•Online Auction Transitions: A number of traditional firearms auction houses that previously operated exclusively through in-person bidding events now have established online auction platforms, expanding their reach and introducing new digital buying formats that compete with GunBroker.com’s auction-style model.
Human Capital
As of June 10, 2025, we had a total of 81 employees. Of these employees, 33 were in sales, marketing and customer service, 20 in software engineering, and 28 in various corporate and administrative functions (information technology, accounting, executives, etc.). None of our employees are represented by a union in a collective bargaining arrangement with us. We believe that our employee relations are good.
We foster a collaborative culture focused on accountability, innovation, and market responsiveness. Our workforce strategy emphasizes the attraction and retention of talent aligned with our mission of expanding our reach
and relevance. Diversity, professional growth, and performance-driven engagement are central to our human capital philosophy.
Seasonality
We experience moderate seasonality, with elevated sales activity typically occurring in the second half of the fiscal year, driven by the fall hunting season and year-end holidays. Year-over-year trends show consistent performance peaks in the third and fourth quarters, with comparatively softer demand in the spring and summer months, reflecting stable seasonal patterns and supporting the platform’s ability to plan around cyclical purchasing behavior.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of trademarks, trade names, domain names, service marks, and trade secrets to support brand recognition and operational integrity. Our intellectual property portfolio includes proprietary platform features, analytics tools, and content assets that distinguish GunBroker.com in the market. We also license select technologies and content to support compliance and customer experience initiatives.
Regulatory Matters
We operate in a highly regulated industry. There are a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations that affect our business. Because we facilitate the sale of firearms and ammunition, we must ensure compliance with regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (the “ATF”). We must also ensure compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, including the National Firearms Act of 1934 (the “NFA”), the Gun Control Act of 1968 (the “GCA”), the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 and provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, applicable to the Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax, all of which have been amended from time to time. The NFA and GCA require the GunBroker.com platform to facilitate compliant transactions by ensuring that third-party buyers and sellers complete the transfer of regulated items by utilizing dealers that maintain FFLs and perform a pre-transfer background check in connection with each firearm purchase. These background checks are completed using either the FBI-managed National Instant Criminal Background Check System (“NICS”), or a comparable state government-managed system that relies on NICS and any additional information collected by the state. These background check systems either confirm that a transfer can be made, deny the transfer or require that the transfer be delayed for further review, and provide transaction numbers for the proposed transfer. Our sellers are required to record the transaction number on an ATF Form 4473 and retain this form in their records for auditing purposes. We, or our sellers, are also subject to numerous other federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding firearm sale procedures, record keeping, inspection and reporting, including adhering to minimum age restrictions regarding the acquisition, purchase or possession of firearms or ammunition, residency requirements, applicable waiting periods, importation regulations and regulations pertaining to the shipment and transportation of firearms.
On September 13, 1994, the Federal Assault Weapons Ban (the “AWB”), which prohibited the manufacture of certain firearms defined as “assault weapons,” restricted the sale or possession of “assault weapons,” except those that were manufactured prior to the law’s enactment, and placed restrictions on the sale of new high-capacity ammunition feeding devices. In September 2004, Congress declined to renew the AWB. In the years following the expiration of the AWB, various states and local jurisdictions, including California, Colorado, New York and Washington (states in which we operate), have adopted their own versions of the AWB or high capacity ammunition feeding device restrictions, some of which apply to the products our sellers may hold for sale in other states. If a statute similar to the AWB were to be enacted or re-enacted at the federal level, it would impact our ability to facilitate the sale of certain products. Additionally, state and local governments have enacted laws and regulations that place additional restrictions on the manufacture, transfer, sale, purchase, possession and use of firearms, ammunition and shooting-related products. For example, several states, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington have enacted laws and regulations that are more restrictive than federal laws and regulations that limit access to and sale of certain firearms and ammunition. California, Connecticut and New York impose mandatory screening of ammunition purchases, some other states require the presentation of a firearms ownership identification card or permit in order to acquire ammunition products; Florida, Washington, and most recently, Colorado have passed legislation that, among other things, raises the minimum age to purchase certain firearms to 21 from 18 and imposes a multi-day waiting period on all gun purchases. California also raised the minimum age to purchase certain firearms to 21 and enacted several restrictions, including background checks on ammunition sales. Some states prohibit the sale of guns without internal
or external locking mechanisms. Several states and the United States Congress have introduced microstamping legislation (that is, engraving the handgun’s serial number on the firing pin of new handguns) for certain firearms. Other state or local governmental entities may also explore similar legislative or regulatory initiatives that may further restrict the manufacture, sale, purchase, possession or use of firearms, ammunition and shooting-related products. We must ensure that our platform complies with these regulations. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the terms of such regulations and that we have no liabilities under such laws that we expect could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. State, local, and federal laws and regulations relating to products for sale on our platform may change, sometimes significantly, as a result of political, economic or social events.
Our e-commerce business is subject to the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule and related regulations promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). FTC regulations, in general, govern the solicitation of orders, the information provided to prospective customers and the timeliness of shipments and refunds. In addition, the FTC has established guidelines for advertising and labeling many of the products for sale on our e-commerce platform. We are also subject to a variety of state laws and regulations relating to, among other things, advertising and product restrictions. Some of these laws prohibit or limit the sale, in certain states and locations, of certain items. We administer various restriction codes and other software tools to prevent the sale of such jurisdictionally restricted items. Additionally, we are required to ensure compliance with federal and state laws governing the secure shipment of regulated items.
We believe current laws have not materially impacted our platform usage; however, changes in regulation or consumer sentiment may affect future operations. We continuously monitor legal developments and maintain policies to ensure adherence to applicable laws.
Data Privacy
In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive, store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, and share (collectively, “process”) personal data, such as consumer information. Accordingly, we are subject to numerous data privacy and security obligations, including federal, state, and local laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, contractual requirements and other obligations related to data privacy and security. These frameworks are evolving and may impose potentially conflicting obligations. Such obligations may include, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), industry standards, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”). The CCPA is an example of the increasingly stringent and evolving regulatory frameworks related to personal data processing that may increase our compliance obligations and exposure for any noncompliance. For example, the CCPA applies to personal data of consumers, business representative, and employees who are California residents, imposes specific obligations on covered businesses, provides for fines and allows private litigants affected by certain data breaches to recover significant statutory damages. In addition, numerous other U.S. states have enacted comprehensive data privacy laws, and similar laws are being considered at the federal, state, and local levels.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this "Annual Report"), including those risks identified in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” describe examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those included in this Annual Report.
Risk Related to Our Business
Our business, financial performance, and growth depends on our ability to attract and retain an active and engaged community of buyers and sellers on our e-commerce platform.
Our financial performance has been and will continue to be significantly determined by our success in attracting and retaining active buyers and active sellers on the GunBroker Marketplace. Our ability to attract and retain buyers and sellers is impacted by a variety of factors, including customer experience, platform usability and brand perception, as well as external influences such as the political environment, regulation and economic conditions.
If buyers do not find our platform appealing, for example, because of a negative experience, inadequate customer service, dissatisfaction with FFL transfer fees or marketplace fees, lack of buyer-friendly features, lack of desirable product listings, lack of product listing variety, lack of competitive shipping charges, delayed shipping times, or other factors, they may make fewer purchases and they may not refer others to us. Likewise, if sellers are dissatisfied with their experience on our platform, or feel they have more attractive alternatives, they may stop listing items in our Marketplace and using our services and may stop referring others to us, which could negatively impact our financial performance.
Additionally, our brand and reputation are critical to our success, as they influence our ability to attract and retain buyers and sellers. A perception that our levels of responsiveness and support for our buyers and sellers are inadequate could damage our reputation and reduce our sellers’ willingness to sell and buyers’ willingness to shop on our Marketplace. Although we are focused on enhancing customer service, our efforts may be unsuccessful, and our buyers and sellers may be disappointed in their experience and not return.
In addition, GunBroker’s revenue is concentrated in our most active buyers and sellers. If we lose a significant number of buyers or sellers, or our buyers or sellers do not maintain their level of activity for any reason, our financial performance would be harmed. Even if we are able to attract new buyers and sellers to replace the ones that we may lose, we may not be able to do so at comparable levels, they may not maintain the same level of activity, and the revenue generated from new buyers and sellers may not be as high as the revenue generated from the ones who leave, or reduce their activity level on our Marketplace. If we are unable to attract and retain buyers and sellers, or our buyers or sellers do not maintain their level of activity, our business and financial performance could be harmed.
Furthermore, the demand for the products listed in our Marketplace is dependent on consumer preferences and available discretionary spending, which can and do change quickly. A shift in consumer interests away from outdoor sports, hunting, sport shooting or firearms could also make it more difficult to attract new buyers and sellers. Under any of these circumstances, we may have difficulty attracting new buyers and sellers without incurring additional expense. In addition, a change in applicable federal or state law and restrictions that prohibits GunBroker from providing its facilitative auction platform services would have a direct substantial financial impact on our operations that would cause an adverse effect on the continuity of our operations.
Substantial competition may harm our business.
We operate in a highly competitive and evolving market for firearms, shooting sports, and outdoor gear. Our competitors, some of which are well-established brands with greater resources and larger customer bases than our own, provide similar products to consumers and span across multiple channels and business models. We currently and potentially compete with a wide variety of peer-to-peer marketplaces, e-commerce-enabled dealers, manufacturers with direct-to-consumer capabilities, online auction platforms from traditional firearms auction houses, big box retailers and brick and mortar stores.
We compete as a two-sided, peer-to-peer marketplace, and we must attract both buyers and sellers to use our platform. Consumers who purchase products through us have many alternatives, and we face increased competitive pressure online and offline. Competitors with an e-commerce presence may increase the expected level of e-commerce
service in a variety of aspects such as improved user experience, greater ease of buying goods, lower (or no) shipping costs, faster shipping times and more favorable return policies. Manufacturers with direct-to-consumer capabilities, such as Palmetto State Armory, Ammunition Depot, Vista Outdoors, and Freedom Munitions, have the ability to bypass intermediaries, manage pricing directly, and retain higher margins. We may not be able to successfully expand our e-commerce business to respond to shifting consumer traffic patterns and direct-to-consumer buying trends. In addition, we compete with brick and mortar and big box retailers that provide alternatives to e-commerce. As e-commerce evolves, offline retailers such as Sportsman’s Warehouse, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, and Academy Sports have the ability to attract our customers through incentives such as in-store pick up and no FFL transfer fees.
Competitors with other revenue sources or greater resources may also be able to devote more resources to marketing and promotional campaigns and buyer acquisition, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote more resources to website, mobile platforms and applications and systems development than we can. Other competitors may find ways to offer faster and/or free shipping, same-day delivery, more favorable return policies and other superior transaction-related services that improve the user experience on their sites, which could be impractical or inefficient for our sellers to match. We face competitive pressure to offer promotional discounts, which could impact our gross margin and increase our marketing expenses or overhead. We are limited, however, in our ability to fully respond to competitor price discounting because we cannot market our products at prices that may produce adverse relationships with our customers that operate brick and mortar locations as they may perceive themselves to be at a disadvantage based on lower e-commerce pricing to end consumers.
We may not be able to compete effectively with and adapt to changes made by our competitors, and our business, financial performance and ability to attract and retain an active and engaged community of buyers and sellers could suffer.
Breaches of our information systems could adversely affect our reputation, disrupt our operations, and result in increased costs and loss of sales.
There have been an increasing number of cybersecurity incidents affecting companies around the world, which have caused operational failures or compromised sensitive corporate data. Although we do not believe that our systems are at a greater risk of cybersecurity incidents than other similar organizations, any such cybersecurity incidents may result in the loss or compromise of customer, financial, or operational data, disruption of billing, collections, or normal operating activities, disruption of electronic monitoring and control of operational systems, and delays in financial reporting and other management functions.
Although we have integrated a variety of processes, technologies, and controls to assist in our efforts to assess, identify, and manage material cybersecurity-related risks, these efforts are not exhaustive, and our efforts may not be adequate to prevent or detect service interruption, system failure, data loss or theft, or other material adverse consequences, directly or through our vendors. Additionally, these measures have not always been in the past, and in the future may not be, sufficient to prevent or detect a cyberattack, system failure, or security breach particularly given the increasingly sophisticated tools and methods used by hackers, state actors, organized cyber criminals, and cyber terrorists. Possible impacts associated with a cybersecurity incident may include, among others, remediation costs related to lost, stolen, or compromised data, repairs to data processing systems, increased cybersecurity protection costs, reputational damage, and adverse effects on our compliance with applicable privacy and other laws and regulations.
If we experience, or are perceived to experience, security breaches that result in Marketplace performance or availability problems or the loss, compromise or unauthorized disclosure of personal data or other sensitive information, or if we fail to respond appropriately to any security breaches that we may experience, or are perceived to do so, people may become unwilling to provide us the information necessary to set up an account with us to become a new seller or buyer. Existing sellers and buyers may also stop listing new items for sale on the Marketplace, decrease their purchases, or close their accounts altogether. We could also face damage to our reputation, potential liability, regulatory investigations in multiple jurisdictions, and costly remediation efforts and litigation, which may not be adequately covered by, and which may impact our future access to, insurance. Any of these results could harm our growth prospects, our business, and our reputation for maintaining a trusted Marketplace.
In addition, the costs and effort to respond to a security breach and/or to mitigate any security vulnerabilities that may be identified could be significant, our efforts to address these problems may not be successful, and these problems could result in unexpected interruptions, delays, cessation of service, negative publicity, negative seller or buyer sentiment, and other harm to our business and our competitive position. We could be required to fundamentally
change our business activities and practices in response to a security breach or related regulatory actions or litigation, which would have an adverse effect on our business.
We and the third parties with whom we work are subject to stringent and evolving obligations related to data privacy and security, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations (or such failure by the third parties with whom we work) could lead to adverse business consequences.
In the ordinary course of business, we process personal data and other sensitive information, including proprietary and confidential business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, sensitive third-party data, business plans, transactions, and financial information (collectively, sensitive data). These processing activities subject us to numerous data privacy and security obligations, such as various laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, contractual requirements, and other obligations relating to data privacy and security.
In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), and other similar laws (e.g., wiretapping laws). Numerous U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that impose certain obligations on covered businesses, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain rights concerning their personal data. As applicable, such rights include the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling, and automated decision-making. The exercise of these rights may impact our business and ability to provide our products and services. Certain states also impose stricter requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments. These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance. For example, the CCPA imposes obligations on covered businesses regarding their processing of personal data and provides for fines and a private right of action for certain data breaches. Similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels, and we expect more states to pass similar laws in the future.
Additionally, under various privacy laws and other obligations, we may be required to obtain certain consents to process personal data. Our inability or failure to do so could result in adverse consequences, such as threats of class-action litigation alleging violations of wiretapping laws. In addition to data privacy and security laws, we are contractually subject to industry standards adopted by industry groups, such as the PCI DSS, and we are, and may become in the future subject to such obligations. We rely on vendors to process payment card data, and those vendors are subject to PCI DSS, and our business may be negatively affected if our vendors are fined or suffer other consequences as a result of PCI DSS noncompliance.
We are also bound by other contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and our efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful. We publish privacy policies, marketing materials, and other statements concerning data privacy and security. Regulators in the United States are increasingly scrutinizing these statements, and if these are found to be deficient, lacking in transparency, deceptive, unfair, misleading, or misrepresentative of our practices, we may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators, or other adverse consequences.
Obligations related to data privacy and security (and consumers’ data privacy expectations) are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent, creating regulatory uncertainty, and may be subject to differing applications and interpretations. Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires us to devote significant resources and may necessitate changes to our services, information technologies, systems, and practices and to those of any third parties that process personal data on our behalf.
We may at times be unsuccessful (or be perceived to have been unsuccessful) in our efforts to comply with our data privacy and security obligations. Moreover, despite our efforts, our personnel or third parties with whom we work may be unsuccessful in complying with such obligations, which could negatively impact our business operations. If we or the third parties with whom we work are unsuccessful, or are perceived to have been unsuccessful, to address or comply with applicable data privacy and security obligations, we could face significant consequences, including but not limited to: government enforcement actions (e.g., investigations, fines, penalties, audits, inspections, and similar); litigation (including class-action claims); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans on processing personal data; and orders to destroy or not use personal data. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, or financial condition, including but not limited to: loss of customers; inability to process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize our
products; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or substantial changes to our business model or operations.
A failure of our information technology systems, or an interruption in their operation due to internal or external factors including cyberattacks, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our operations depend on our ability to protect our information systems, computer equipment, and information databases from systems failures. We rely on our information technology systems generally to manage the day-to-day operations of our business, operate the Marketplace, manage relationships with our customers, facilitate customer orders, and maintain our financial and accounting records.
Failure of our information technology systems could be caused by internal or external events, such as incursions by intruders or hackers, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, break-ins, intentional or accidental actions or inaction by employees or others with authorized access to our networks, failures in hardware or software, or power or telecommunication fluctuations or failures.
Our information technology systems rely on internal technology, along with cloud services and software provided by our third-party service providers. In the event of a cyber-related incident or other service disruption, even partial unavailability of our systems could impair our ability to serve our customers, manage transactions, or operate the Marketplace. We have implemented disaster recovery mechanisms, including systems to back up key data and production systems, but these systems may be inadequate or incomplete. For example, these disaster recovery systems may be susceptible to cyber-related events if insufficiently separated from primary systems, not comprehensive, or not at a scale sufficient to replace our primary systems. Insufficient production and disaster recovery systems could, in the event of a cyber-related incident, harm our growth prospects, our business, and our reputation for maintaining a trusted marketplace.
We rely on third-party service providers to perform services, including, credit card processing, payment disbursements, identity verification, and fraud analysis and detection. As a result, we are subject to a number of risks related to our dependence on third- party service providers. If any or some of these service providers fail to perform adequately or if any such service provider were to terminate or modify its relationship with us unexpectedly, our sellers’ ability to use the Marketplace to receive orders or payments could be adversely affected, which could increase our costs, drive sellers away from our marketplaces, result in potential legal liability, and harm our business. In addition, we and our third-party service providers may experience service outages from time to time that could adversely impact payments made on our platform. Additionally, any unexpected termination or modification of those third-party services could lead to a lapse in the effectiveness of certain fraud prevention and detection tools.
Our third-party service providers may increase the fees they charge us in the future, which would increase our operating expenses. This could, in turn, require us to increase the fees we charge and cause some buyers or sellers to reduce purchases or listings on the Marketplace or to leave our platform altogether by closing their accounts.
We also rely on the security practices of our third-party service providers, which may be outside of our direct control. Our third-party service providers may not have adequate security and privacy controls, may not properly exercise their compliance, regulatory or notification requirements, including as to personal data, or may not have the resources to properly respond to an incident. The failure of our or our third-party service providers’ information technology systems to perform as anticipated for any reason or any significant breach of security could disrupt our business and result in numerous adverse consequences, including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of operations, increased costs, or loss of important information, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Any technology and information security processes and disaster recovery plans we use to mitigate our risk to these vulnerabilities may not be adequate to ensure that our operations will not be disrupted should such an event occur.
Generative artificial intelligence may have a significant impact on our business.
We expect generative artificial intelligence (“Gen AI”) to have a significant impact on the future of e-commerce, as artificial intelligence technologies become increasingly important for consumers buying and selling goods online. If we are unable to identify appropriate Gen AI providers and artificial intelligence technologies, or if we fail to utilize those technologies or develop our own technologies, our business may be harmed. For example, consumers may increasingly search for products using chatbots, virtual assistants or other Gen AI technologies powered by large language models instead of using traditional search engines. If current and future artificial
intelligence technologies do not send referrals to GunBroker at the rate of traditional search engines for any reason, the amount of buyer and seller traffic using our platform could decrease, which could negatively impact on our business and results of operations.
Operations and continued development of our payments system and financial services offerings require ongoing investment, are subject to evolving laws, regulations, rules, and standards, and involve risk, including risks related to our dependence on third-party providers.
We have invested and plan to continue to invest internal resources into our payments tools in order to maintain existing availability, expand into additional markets and offer new payment methods and other types of financial services to our buyers and sellers. If we fail to invest adequate resources into payments on our platform, or if our investment efforts are unsuccessful, unreliable or result in system failure, our payments and financial services may not function properly or keep pace with competitive offerings, which could negatively impact their usage and our platform. Future errors, failures or outages could cause our buyers and sellers to lose confidence in our payments system and could cause them to cease using our Marketplace.
If we transition to new third-party payment service providers for any reason, we may be required to invest significant financial and personnel resources to support such transition or could be unable to find a suitable replacement service provider. As we offer new payment methods and financial services to our sellers and buyers, we are now subject to additional regulations and compliance requirements, and exposed to heightened fraud and regulatory risk, which could lead to an increase in our operating expenses.
Payments and other financial services are governed by complex and continuously evolving laws and regulations that are subject to change and vary across different jurisdictions in the United States. As a result, we are required to spend significant time and effort to determine whether various licensing and registration laws as well as privacy and secrecy laws relating to payments and other financial services we offer apply to us and to comply with applicable laws and licensing and registration regulations. In addition, we may be unable to obtain or retain any necessary licenses or registrations. Any failure or claim of failure by us or our third-party service providers to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to payments or financial services could require us to expend significant resources, result in liability, limit or preclude our ability to enter or continue to operate in certain markets and harm our reputation. In addition, changes in payment regulations, or other financial regulation, including changes to the credit or debit card interchange rates, could adversely affect payments on our platform and make our payments systems less profitable.
Further, we are indirectly subject to payment card association operating rules and certification requirements pursuant to agreements with our third-party payment processors. These rules and requirements, including the PCI DSS and rules governing electronic funds transfers, are subject to change or reinterpretation, making it difficult for us to comply. Any failure to comply with these rules and certification requirements could impact our ability to meet our contractual obligations to our third-party payment processors and could result in potential fines. In addition, changes in these rules and requirements, including any change in our designation by major payment card providers, could require a change in our business operations and could result in limitations on or loss of our ability to accept payment cards or other forms of payment, any of which could negatively impact our business. Such changes could also increase our costs of compliance, which could lead to increased fees for us or our sellers and adversely affect payments on our platform or usage of our payments services and platform.
Our third-party payments system may be susceptible to illegal uses, including money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and payments to sanctioned parties. If our compliance program and internal controls to limit such illegal activity are ineffective, government authorities could bring legal action against us or our third-party payments system provider or otherwise suspend our ability to offer payments or financial services.
Changes to our policies to protect buyers and sellers could increase our costs and loss rate, and failure to manage such programs effectively can result in harm to our reputation.
We maintain policies intended to compensate users who believe that they have not received the item that they purchased or have received an item different from what was described. We expect to continue to receive communications from users requesting reimbursement or threatening or commencing legal action against us if no reimbursement is made. Litigation, legislation, or regulation involving liability for any seller fraud or non-performance could result in increased costs of doing business, lead to adverse judgments or settlements or otherwise harm our business. In addition, affected users may complain to regulatory agencies that could take action against us, including imposing fines or seeking injunctions.
Our performance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors.
Our performance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to defer expenditures for discretionary items, which affects demand for our products. Economic conditions also affect governmental political and budgetary policies. As a result, economic conditions also can have an adverse effect on the sale of our products to law enforcement, government, and military customers.
Political and other factors also can adversely affect our performance. Concerns about presidential, congressional, and state elections and legislature and policy shifts resulting from those elections can adversely affect the demand for our products. In addition, uncertainty surrounding the control of firearms and firearm products at the federal, state, and local level and heightened fears of terrorism and crime can adversely affect consumer demand for our services. Often, such concerns result in an increase in near-term consumer demand and subsequent softening of demand when such concerns subside.
In addition, federal and state legislatures frequently consider legislation relating to the regulation of firearms, including amendment or repeal of existing legislation. Existing laws may also be affected by future judicial rulings and interpretations. If restrictive changes to legislation develop, we could find it difficult, expensive, or even impossible to comply with such changes, impeding new product development and distribution of existing products.
The health of the global economy, the credit markets and the financial services industry, in particular, as well as the stability of the social fabric of our society, affects our business and operating results. If the credit markets are not favorable, we may be unable to raise additional financing when needed or on favorable terms. Our customers may experience financial difficulties or be unable to borrow money to fund their operations, which may adversely impact their ability to purchase our products or to pay for our products on a timely basis, if at all.
War, terrorism, other acts of violence, or natural, or manmade disasters, may affect the markets in which the Company operates, the Company’s customers, and the Company’s customer service, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
The Company’s business could be adversely affected by instability, disruption or destruction in a geographic region in which it operates, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest, and natural or manmade disasters, including famine, food, fire, earthquake, storm or pandemic events, and spread of disease.
Such events may cause customers to suspend their decisions on using the Company’s services and give rise to sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles that could interfere with purchases of goods or services on our Marketplace and commitments to develop new products and services. These events also pose significant risks to the Company’s personnel and to physical facilities, transportation and operations, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial results.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a competitive advantage or incur substantial litigation costs to protect our rights.
Our future success depends upon our proprietary technology. Our protective measures, including patent and trade secret protection, may prove inadequate to protect our proprietary rights. The right to stop others from misusing our trademarks, service marks, and patents in commerce depends to some extent on our ability to show evidence of enforcement of our rights against such misuse in commerce. Our efforts to stop improper use, if insufficient, may lead to loss of trademark and service mark rights, brand loyalty, and notoriety among our customers and prospective customers. The scope of any patent that we have or may obtain may not prevent others from developing and selling competing products. The validity and breadth of claims covered in technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions, and the resolution of such claims may be highly uncertain, and expensive. In addition, our patents may be held invalid upon challenge, or others may claim rights in or ownership of our patents.
We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which could cause us to incur litigation costs and divert management attention from our business.
Any intellectual property infringement claims against us, with or without merit, could be costly and time-consuming to defend and divert our management’s attention from our business. If our products were found to infringe a third party’s proprietary rights, we could be required to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements to be able to sell our products. Royalty and licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
We are engaged in legal proceedings that could cause us to incur unforeseen expenses and could occupy a significant amount of our management’s time and attention.
We have been and are currently engaged in legal proceedings that have caused the Company to dedicate significant resources to defend. Litigation or claims that may be made against the Company or its officers or directors, from time to time, could negatively affect our business, operations, or financial position. As we grow, we may see a rise in the number of litigation matters against us. These matters may include employment and labor claims, as well as consumer and securities class actions, each of which are typically expensive to defend. Litigation and other disputes could cause us to incur unforeseen expenses and otherwise occupy a significant amount of our management’s time and attention, any of which could negatively affect our business operations and financial position.
Seasonality and weather conditions may cause our operating results to vary from quarter to quarter.
Because many of our products are used for seasonal outdoor sporting activities, our operating results may be significantly impacted by unseasonable weather conditions. Accordingly, our operating results could suffer when weather patterns do not conform to seasonal norms.
Shipments of firearms and ammunition for hunting are highest during the months of June through September to meet consumer demand for the fall hunting season and holidays. The seasonality of our sales may change in the future. Seasonal variations in our operating results may reduce our cash on hand, increase our inventory levels, and extend our accounts receivable collection periods. This in turn may cause us to increase our debt levels and interest expense to fund our working capital requirements.
Risks Related to the Restatement and Failure to Timely File Required Reports
The matters relating to the restatement of our financial statements have required, and may continue to require, a significant amount of management time and accounting, financial and legal resources, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On May 20, 2025, we filed Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 to restate our financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024 and the quarters within the year ended March 31, 2024. We also filed an amendment to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The restatement of our financial statements occurred following an investigation ("Special Committee Investigation") conducted by a special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The restatement process was highly time and resource-intensive and involved substantial attention from management and significant legal and accounting costs. Furthermore, as a result of the circumstances giving rise to the restatement, we have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement and a pending investigation by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement (the “SEC Investigation”). The SEC Staff has significant discretion in conducting investigations, and therefore, we cannot predict the scope or outcome of the SEC Investigation. Based upon document subpoenas to the Company and other communications, it appears that the SEC Staff is investigating and likely will recommend that the SEC bring an enforcement action relate to the Company's (i) valuation of, and accounting for share-based compensation awards to employees, non-employee directors and other service providers, and issued in exchange for goods and services; (ii) capitalization of certain share issuance costs;(ii) disclosure of perquisites and the valuation of equity-based compensation paid to certain executives; (iii) disclosure of certain executive officers and related party transactions; and (iv) disclosure concerning the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The SEC Staff have not issued a Wells Notice to the Company in the SEC Investigation. If the SEC Staff issues a Wells Notice, the Company will have the opportunity to present factual evidence, legal arguments and mitigating circumstances to the SEC why an enforcement action is not warranted. If, notwithstanding the Company’s Wells submission, the SEC authorizes a civil enforcement action the agency may seek injunctions, civil penalties or other relief, and the Company may incur additional legal and other professional fees in defending such action or negotiating a resolution. Management's attention and resources have been, and may continue to be, diverted from the operation of our business as a result of the ongoing impact of the restatement, the Special Committee Investigation, the SEC Investigation, potential litigation, and efforts to remediate material weaknesses. This diversion could adversely impact our operations, strategic initiatives, and ability to execute our business plans and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are and may continue to be subject to litigation, regulatory proceedings, and government enforcement actions arising from the restatement of our financial statements and related matters, which could result in significant judgments, settlements, penalties, and legal expenses.
The restatement of our previously issued financial statements, along with the findings of the Special Committee Investigation and the SEC Investigation, exposes us to various legal and regulatory challenges. These challenges could include securities class action lawsuits, stockholder derivative suits, and enforcement actions by regulatory authorities such as the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). Such proceedings may allege violations of federal securities laws, deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures, or other corporate governance issues. Defending against these matters is time-consuming and costly and will divert management's attention from our business operations. Adverse outcomes could result in substantial monetary damages, penalties, injunctive, or other relief, and even if resolved favorably, we may incur significant legal expenses. These potential liabilities and costs could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We expect to incur substantial costs in connection with remediation efforts following the restatement, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
We are undertaking significant efforts to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to enhance our disclosure controls and procedures. These efforts have required and will continue to require significant management time and financial resources. We expect to incur substantial costs in connection with these remediation activities, including consulting fees, audit and professional service fees, and upgrades to our financial reporting systems and controls. These additional expenses could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We may be required to indemnify our current and former directors, officers and employees in connection with litigation and other actions which could result in significant legal expenses and other costs to us.
Our corporate governance documents and applicable indemnification agreements require us to defend and indemnify our current and former directors and officers, and certain employees and contractors against enumerated liabilities and expenses incurred as a result of legal proceedings and investigations, including the pending SEC Investigation and potential litigation arising out of the matters related to the restatement. As a result, we may be obligated to advance and ultimately pay substantial legal costs, settlement amounts, or judgments on behalf of these individuals. These indemnification obligations could significantly increase our legal expenses and could materially adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows.
We may suffer adverse tax consequences in connection with our historical share-based compensation practices, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Special Committee Investigation and restatement identified errors related to the valuation and accounting for share-based compensation awards issued to our directors, officers, employees, and other service providers. As a result, we may face adverse tax consequences, including the potential loss of tax deductions previously claimed, the requirement to amend prior tax returns, the payment of additional taxes, penalties, and interest, and exposure to potential Internal Revenue Service audits or inquiries. Any such adverse tax consequences could materially negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition in future periods.
Our failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital, impacts our ability to obtain alternative financing, and could have negative consequences under the terms of our existing credit agreements.
Our failure to timely file our periodic reports with the SEC restricts our ability to use a registration statement on Form S-3, which limits our ability to access the public markets quickly and efficiently. It may also restrict our ability to raise capital through traditional private placements, as potential investors may be reluctant to invest in a company that is not current or has a history of not being current in its SEC filings. In addition, our failure to file periodic reports could constitute a default under certain covenants in existing or future credit facilities, which could lead to the acceleration of outstanding indebtedness or other adverse consequences. The combined effect of these factors could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our reputation may be harmed by the Special Committee Investigation, the SEC Investigation, and the restatement, making it more difficult to attract business opportunities, employees, and investors.
The restatement of our financial statements, the impact of the Special Committee Investigation and the SEC Investigation into historical matters, and any resulting litigation, SEC enforcement action or other regulatory proceedings, or negative publicity could damage our reputation with investors, customers, suppliers, business partners, and regulators. Any reputational harm could adversely affect our relationships with existing and prospective stakeholders, diminish our ability to attract and retain key personnel, reduce the confidence of investors in our company, and limit our access to capital markets. Reputational damage may also make it more difficult to pursue
business opportunities, negotiate favorable terms in future commercial relationships, and achieve our strategic objectives, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
The restatement and related matters could cause increased volatility in the trading price of our securities.
The restatement of our financial statements, the results of the Special Committee Investigation, any future findings, and related legal proceedings or regulatory actions could result in increased volatility in the price of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. We may also experience reduced analyst coverage and diminished interest from institutional investors, which could adversely impact the trading volume, liquidity, and market price of our securities.
Investors may view our historical financial statements as less reliable following the restatement, which could adversely effect our access to capital markets and our stock price.
As a result of the restatement of our historical financial statements and the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, investors may view our historical financial information as less reliable. This perception could impact investor confidence, adversely affect the market price of our securities, impair our ability to access capital markets, and result in greater difficulty in achieving strategic or financial objectives.
Our management has concluded that we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent financial fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
As a public company, we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Section 404 requires us to include management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified.
Based on the results of the Special Committee Investigation, our review of our financial records, and other work completed by our management, the Special Committee has concluded that there were material misstatements in the previously filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Accordingly, our Board of Directors and management concluded that our consolidated financial statements for these periods should no longer be relied upon and that such financial statements required restatement. Based upon an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025.
In addition, as further described in this Annual Report in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures”, as of March 31, 2025, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control processes that involve the control environment, information and communication, monitoring activities, and control activities components of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") framework.
These material weaknesses, if not remediated, create an increased risk of misstatement of the Company’s financial results, which, if material, may require future restatement thereof.
While we are actively engaged in remediation efforts as of the filing of this Annual Report, including the implementation of new policies, procedures, and controls, these efforts may not be successful, we may not be able to remediate all identified material weaknesses in a timely manner, and additional material weaknesses may be identified in the future. Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in additional errors or misstatements in our financial statements, impair our ability to accurately and timely report financial results, harm our reputation and investor confidence, limit our ability to access capital markets, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Effective internal control over financial reporting and related controls and procedures are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we could be subject to regulatory action or other substantial litigation and our business and operating results could be materially harmed.
Risks Related to Regulation
Current and future government regulations, particularly regulations relating to the sale of firearms and ammunition, may negatively impact the demand for products held for sale on our platform.
We operate in a complex regulatory and legal environment that could negatively impact the demand for our products and services and expose us to compliance and litigation risks, which could materially affect our operations and financial results. We are required to comply with a wide variety of laws, rules, and regulations that impose significant compliance requirements on our business, and more restrictive laws, rules and regulations may be adopted in the future. We are subject to the rules and regulations of the ATF, particularly with FFL compliance. If we fail to comply with ATF rules and regulations, the ATF may limit our growth or business activities, levy fines against us or revoke our license to do business. Our business and the business of all marketers of ammunition and firearms are also subject to numerous federal, state, local, and foreign laws, regulations, and protocols.
These laws may, and do, change, sometimes significantly, as a result of political, economic or social events. For instance, Colorado and Washington passed legislation that, among other things, raises the minimum age to purchase certain firearms from 18 to 21 and imposes multi-day waiting period on gun purchases. In addition, Florida has also raised the minimum age for firearms purchases to 21 with some exceptions, and in November 2022, the State of Oregon passed a ballot measure that bans purchases of magazines with a capacity of over ten rounds, and that, among other things, imposes complex permitting and training requirements for the purchases of firearms.
Over the past several years, bills have been introduced in the United States Congress that would restrict or prohibit the manufacture, transfer, importation or sale of certain calibers of handgun ammunition, impose a tax and import controls on bullets designed to penetrate bullet-proof vests, impose a special occupational tax and registration requirements on manufacturers of handgun ammunition and increase the tax on handgun ammunition in certain calibers. Because we carry these products, such legislation could, depending on its scope, materially harm sales on the Marketplace.
Additionally, state and local governments have proposed laws and regulations that, if enacted, would place additional restrictions on the manufacture, transfer, sale, purchase, acquisition, possession and use of firearms, ammunition and shooting-related products. For example, in response to mass shootings and other incidents in the United States, several states, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington have enacted laws and regulations that limit access to and sale of certain firearms in ways more restrictive than federal laws. Other state or local governmental entities may continue to explore similar legislative or regulatory restrictions that could prohibit the manufacture, sale, purchase, possession or use of firearms and ammunition. In California, Connecticut and New York, mandatory screening of ammunition purchases is now required, as well as electronic record keeping that will be audited by the state. In addition, several states and the United States Congress have introduced microstamping legislation (that is, engraving the handgun’s serial number on the firing pin of new handguns) for certain firearms. Lastly, some states prohibit the sale of firearms without internal or external locking mechanisms, and several states are considering mandating certain design features on safety grounds, most of which would be applicable only to handguns. Other state or local governmental entities may also explore similar legislative or regulatory initiatives that may further restrict the manufacture, sale, purchase, acquisition, possession or use of firearms, ammunition and shooting-related products.
The regulation of firearms, ammunition and shooting-related products may even become more restrictive in the future. Changes in these laws and regulations or additional regulations, particularly new laws or increased regulations regarding sales and ownership of firearms and ammunition, could cause the demand for and sales of products held for sale on our platform to decrease and could materially adversely impact our revenue and profitability. Sales of firearms represent a significant percentage of our transaction-fee based revenue. Substantial reduction in sales
on our platform due to the establishment of new regulations could harm our operating results. Moreover, complying with increased or changed regulations could cause our operating expenses to increase.
Changes in government policies and firearms legislation could adversely affect our financial results.
The sale, purchase, ownership, and use of firearms are subject to numerous and varied federal, state, and local governmental regulations. Federal laws governing firearms include the National Firearms Act, the Federal Firearms Act, the Arms Export Control Act, and the Gun Control Act of 1968. These laws generally govern the manufacture, import, export, sale, and possession of firearms and ammunition.
Currently, the federal legislature and several state legislatures are considering additional legislation relating to the regulation of firearms and ammunition. These proposed bills are extremely varied. If enacted, such legislation could effectively ban or severely limit the sale of affected firearms and ammunition. In addition, if such restrictions are enacted and are incongruent, we could find it difficult, expensive, or even practically impossible to comply with them, which could impede new product development and the distribution of existing products. We cannot assure you that the regulation of our business activities will not become more restrictive in the future and that any such restriction will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
Any adverse change to the interpretations of the Second Amendment (Right to Bear Arms) could impact our ability to conduct business by restricting the ownership and use of firearms in the United States.
General Risk Factors
Our operating results may experience significant fluctuations.
Many factors can contribute to significant fluctuations in our results of operations. These factors include the following:
•the cyclicality of the markets we serve;
•the timing and size of new orders;
•the cancellation of existing orders;
•the volume of orders relative to our capacity;
•product introductions and market acceptance of new products or new generations of products;
•timing of expenses in anticipation of future orders;
•changes in product mix;
•availability of production capacity;
•changes in cost and availability of labor and raw materials;
•timely delivery of products to customers;
•pricing and availability of competitive products;
•new product introduction costs;
•changes in the amount or timing of operating expenses;
•introduction of new technologies into the markets we serve;
•pressures on reducing selling prices;
•excess inventory levels;
•our success in serving new markets;
•adverse publicity regarding the safety, performance, and use of our products;
•the institution and adverse outcome of any litigation;
•political, economic, or regulatory developments;
•changes in economic conditions; and
•natural and manmade disasters, including health emergencies such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result of these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful in the short term, and our performance in a particular period may not be indicative of our performance in any future period.
We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs.
In the future, we may require additional capital to fund the planned expansion of our business and to respond to business opportunities, challenges, potential acquisitions, or unforeseen circumstances. We could encounter unforeseen difficulties that may deplete our capital resources rapidly, which could require us to seek additional financing in the near future. The timing and amount of any additional financing that is required to continue the expansion of our business and the marketing of our products will depend on our ability to improve our operating results and other factors. We may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing on a timely basis or on favorable terms, or at all. Further, such financing, if obtained, could result in substantial dilution of the equity interests of existing stockholders. If we are unable to secure any necessary additional financing, we may need to delay expansion plans, conserve cash, and reduce operating expenses. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be sufficient, that the financing will be available on terms favorable to us or to existing stockholders and at such times as required, or that we will be able to obtain the additional financing required for the continued operation and growth of our business.
Our charter documents and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and discourage a takeover.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and Delaware law contain certain provisions that may have the effect of deterring or discouraging, among other things, a non-negotiated tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, a proxy contest for control of our company, the assumption of control of our company by a holder of a large block of Common Stock, and the removal of the management of our company. Such provisions also may have the effect of deterring or discouraging a transaction which might otherwise be beneficial to stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes our Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which could have voting and conversion rights that adversely affect or dilute the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. Delaware law also imposes conditions on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders.” Further, our Bylaws authorize our Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors, including as a result of newly created directorships. A majority of the remaining directors may elect a successor to fill any vacancies or newly created directorships. Such provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock and impede the ability of the stockholders to replace management.
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors under Delaware law pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors and officers under Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees. We also entered into contractual indemnification obligations under employment agreements with our executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and our stockholders.
Our certification of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for actions or proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to make a claim against the Company, our directors, officers, and employees.
Our certificate of incorporation states that unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) an action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers, or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers, or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within
10 days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction.
These exclusive forum provisions do not apply to claims under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The exclusive forum provision may discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to submit claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may create additional costs as a result. If a court were to determine the exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable and unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs in conjunction with our efforts to resolve the dispute in an alternative jurisdiction, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Risks Related to our Series A Preferred Stock
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities.
In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive any of our assets remaining only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been paid. The rights of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to participate in the distribution of our assets rank junior to the prior claims of our current and future creditors and any future series or class of preferred stock we may issue that ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Also, the Series A Preferred Stock effectively ranks junior to all existing and future indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. Our existing subsidiaries are, and future subsidiaries would be, separate legal entities and have no legal obligation to pay any amounts to us in respect of dividends due on the Series A Preferred Stock. If we are forced to liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. We have incurred and may in the future incur substantial amounts of debt and other obligations that rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. At March 31, 2025, our total liabilities equaled approximately $75.3 million.
Certain of our existing or future debt instruments may restrict the authorization, payment or setting apart of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Also, future offerings of debt or senior equity securities may adversely affect the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock. If we decide to issue debt or senior equity securities in the future, it is possible that these securities will be governed by an indenture or other instruments containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the Series A Preferred Stock and may result in dilution to owners of the Series A Preferred Stock. We and, indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will bear the risk of our future offerings, which may reduce the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock and will dilute the value of their holdings in us.
The trading market for the Series A Preferred Stock may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.
The Series A Preferred Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “POWWP.” We cannot assure you that holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be able to sell their shares at favorable prices or at all. The difference between bid and ask prices in any secondary market for the Series A Preferred Stock could be substantial. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the Series A Preferred Stock, and holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Series A Preferred Stock for an indefinite period of time.
We may issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that rank on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights, rights upon liquidation or voting rights.
We are allowed to issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that would rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock without any vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and additional series of preferred stock that have been authorized pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designations could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to the Series A Preferred Stock upon our liquidation or dissolution or the winding up of our affairs. It also may reduce dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock if we do not have sufficient funds to pay
dividends on all Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and other classes or series of stock with greater or equal priority with respect to dividends.
Also, although holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to limited voting rights, with respect to the circumstances under which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Series A Preferred Stock votes separately as a class along with all other series of our preferred stock that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. As a result, the voting rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock may be significantly diluted, and the holders of such other series of preferred stock that we may issue may be able to control or significantly influence the outcome of any vote. Future issuances and sales of senior or pari passu preferred stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales could occur, may cause prevailing market prices for the Series A Preferred Stock and our Common Stock to decline and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital in the financial markets at times and prices favorable to us.
We may not be able to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock if we have insufficient cash to make dividend payments.
Our ability to pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock requires us to have either net profits or positive net assets (total assets less total liabilities) over our capital, to be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business. Further, even if we meet this criterion, we still may not have sufficient cash to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. Our ability to pay dividends may be impaired if any of the risks described in this report were to occur. Also, payment of our dividends depends upon our financial condition and other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time. We cannot assure you that our businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make distributions on our preferred stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.
Our Series A Preferred Stock has not been rated.
We have not sought to obtain a rating for the Series A Preferred Stock. No assurance can be given, however, that one or more rating agencies might not independently determine to issue such a rating or that such a rating, if issued, would not adversely affect the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock. Also, we may elect in the future to obtain a rating for the Series A Preferred Stock, which could adversely affect the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock. Ratings only reflect the views of the rating agency or agencies issuing the ratings and such ratings could be revised downward, placed on a watch list, or withdrawn entirely at the discretion of the issuing rating agency if in its judgment circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision, placing on a watch list or withdrawal of a rating could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock.
We may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.
On or after May 18, 2026, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time. Also, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the certificate of designations with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock), we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred. We may have an incentive to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock voluntarily if market conditions allow us to issue other preferred stock or debt securities at a rate that is lower than the dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock. If we redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, then from and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights as a holder of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have extremely limited voting rights.
The voting rights for holders of Series A Preferred Stock are limited. Our shares of Common Stock are the only class of our securities that carry full voting rights. Voting rights for holders of the Series A Preferred Stock exist primarily with respect to the ability to elect, voting together with the holders of any other series of our preferred stock having similar voting rights, two additional directors to our Board of Directors, subject to certain limitations in the event that dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for four or more consecutive or non-consecutive quarterly dividend periods, and with respect to voting on amendments to our certificate of incorporation or certificate of designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock that materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or authorize, increase or create additional classes or series of our capital stock
that are senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the limited circumstances set forth in the certificate of designations for the Series A Preferred and except to the extent required by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.
The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible, and investors will not realize a corresponding upside if the market price of the Common Stock increases.
The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of Common Stock and earns dividends at a fixed rate. Accordingly, an increase in market price of our Common Stock will not necessarily result in an increase in the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock. The market value of the Series A Preferred Stock may depend more on dividend and interest rates for other preferred stock, commercial paper and other investment alternatives and our actual and perceived ability to pay dividends on, and in the event of dissolution satisfy the liquidation preference with respect to, the Series A Preferred Stock.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in various disputes, claims, suits, investigations and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including commercial, intellectual property, and employment-related matters, as well as stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits and other matters. The litigation matters described below involve issues or claims that may be of particular interest to our stockholders, regardless of whether any of these matters were material to our business or financial condition based upon the standard set forth in the SEC’s rules. We believe we have substantial defenses in each unresolved matter, and we intend to vigorously defend against the claims brought by plaintiffs in the pending lawsuits.
On April 30, 2023, Steve Urvan filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) against the Company, and certain Company directors, former directors, employees, former employees and consultants. At the time the lawsuit was filed, Mr. Urvan was a member of the Board of Directors and our largest stockholder. Mr.Urvan now serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Urvan’s claims included fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violations of the Arizona Securities Act. The suit sought a court order for partial rescission of the Company’s acquisition of GunBroker.com in April 2021 and compensatory damages of not less than $140 million. On August 1, 2023, the Company filed a separate lawsuit against Mr. Urvan in the Delaware Court alleging, among other things, that Mr. Urvan committed fraud in connection with the sale of GunBroker to the Company, and that Mr. Urvan breached his indemnification obligations to the Company after the sale. On September 11, 2023, the Delaware Court consolidated the Company’s lawsuit against Mr. Urvan with Mr. Urvan’s lawsuit against the Company and the individual defendants (the "Delaware Litigation"). On May 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), by and among the Company, Speedlight Group I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Speedlight”), Mr. Urvan, and the following persons, each of whom serves or previously served on the Board of Directors: Richard R. Childress, Jared Smith, Fred W. Wagenhals and Russell Williams Wallace, Jr. (collectively, the “Legacy Directors”). The Settlement Agreement became effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 30, 2025, pursuant to its terms. In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, on June 3, 2025, the Company, Speedlight, Mr. Urvan and the Legacy Directors filed a Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal With Prejudice to dismiss, with prejudice, all claims asserted in the Delaware Litigation. For a description of other terms of the Settlement Agreement, see “Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments - Settlement of Litigation”.
On December 6, 2023, Steve Urvan initiated a separate action against the Company in his capacity as director under 8 Del. C. § 220(d) to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records (the “Books and Records Action”). In the Books and Records Action, Mr. Urvan alleged that the Company wrongfully refused to provide him with access
to certain categories of documents following demands that he made on the Company. On June 9, 2025, the Books and Records Action was dismissed pursuant to a Stipulation and Order of Dismissal.
On January 18, 2024, Innovative Computer Professionals, Inc. d/b/a Digital Cash Processing (“DCP”) filed a civil action in Minnesota state court against Outdoors Online, LLC d/b/a GunBroker.com (“GunBroker.com”) for breach of contract (the “MN Action”). In the MN Action, DCP alleged that GunBroker.com breached a May 2021 contract, pursuant to which DCP was to provide specified digital payment processing services, and it alleged $100 million in damages. On February 7, 2024, GunBroker.com removed the MN Action to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (Case No. 24-CV-00373-DWF-DTS). On February 14, 2024, GunBroker.com moved to dismiss the MN Action for lack of personal jurisdiction and for failure to adequately state a claim, or, in the alternative, to transfer the MN Action to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (the “Motion”). The court denied the Motion and GunBroker filed its Answer and Counterclaims. GunBroker denies the allegations in the MN Action, and it plans to vigorously defend the claims asserted against it. The parties’ initial disclosure statements were exchanged in August, 2024. The Company has, and will continue to, participate in the discovery process. The parties have retained expert witnesses who will supply expert testimony and reports. The Company expects this matter will be scheduled for trial in January 2026.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “POWW”.
Holders of Common Equity
As of June 10, 2025, there were approximately 273 holders of record of the Common Stock. This number is based on the actual number of holders registered at such date and does not include holders whose shares are held in “street name” by brokers and other nominees.
Dividend Information
We have never declared or paid dividends on our Common Stock. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including the terms of any credit arrangements, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion. At the present time, we intend to retain any earnings in our business and therefore do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. We paid preferred dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of $3.0 million, $3.0 million, and $3.0 million for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
We currently have $0.1 million of unpaid accrued dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2025. Accordingly, we may not be able to declare a dividend on our Common Stock unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed Computershare Trust Company (“Computershare”) as the transfer agent for our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. The principal office of Computershare is located at 150 Royall St, Canton, MA 02021, and its telephone number dedicated to Outdoor Holding Company customer service is (877) 373-6374.
Issuer Repurchase of Equity Securities
On February 8, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $30.0 million of our outstanding Common Stock. On March 28, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the extension of our repurchase program until February 2024. On February 8, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the extension of our repurchase program until February 2025.
The share repurchase program expired on February 6, 2025. Approximately 4.8 million shares were repurchased in total. Pursuant to the repurchase plan, the Company used $8.6 million to purchase shares with effectively $21.4 million unused at expiration.
There were no share repurchases under our repurchase program during the fourth quarter of the 2025 fiscal year.
Performance Graph
The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return of our Common Stock (Nasdaq: POWW) in comparison to the cumulative total return of the Nasdaq Capital Market Composite (“Nasdaq CMC”) and the Russell 2000 Index (“Russell 2000”) for the period from March 31, 2020 through March 31, 2025. The graph assumes an investment of $100 in our Common Stock and in each of the indexes on March 31, 2020. The calculation of cumulative stockholder return on the Nasdaq CMC and Russell 2000 include reinvestment of dividends, but the calculation of cumulative stockholder return on our Common Stock does not include reinvestment of dividends because we did not pay any dividends during the measurement period. The performance shown is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with management’s perspective on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements (prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K(this "Form 10-K"). The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Outdoor Holding Company (formerly AMMO, Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Recent Developments
Discontinued Operations
Outdoor Holding Company began its operations in 2017 as a vertically integrated producer of high-performance ammunition and premium components. Following the acquisition of the GunBroker.com business in 2021, the Company conducted operations through two operating and reportable segments, Ammunition and Marketplace. The Ammunition segment engaged in the design, production and marketing of ammunition, ammunition component and related products. The Marketplace segment consists of the GunBroker e-commerce marketplace, which, in its role as an auction site, supports the lawful sale of firearms, ammunition, and hunting/shooting accessories.
In fiscal 2025, we initiated a formal review of various strategic alternatives. This review resulted in the decision to sell the Ammunition segment. On January 20, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Olin Winchester, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to (i) acquire all assets of our business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing and selling ammunition and ammunition components (collectively, the “Ammunition Manufacturing Business”) along with certain assets related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, including the Ammunition Manufacturing Business’ dedicated manufacturing facility in Manitowoc, WI, and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, for a gross purchase price of $75.0 million, subject to adjustments for estimated net working capital and real property costs and pro-rations (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on April 18, 2025. The net proceeds after all adjustments totaled approximately $42.9 million. On April 21, 2025, the Company changed its name from “AMMO, Inc.” to “Outdoor Holding Company”. As of January 20, 2025, the Ammunition segment met the held for sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. For information on discontinued operations, refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements under the caption “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” and Note 4, "Discontinued Operations".
Settlement of Litigation
As described in Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, in April 2023, Steven F. Urvan filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain of its directors, former directors, employees, former employees, and consultants, related to the Company’s acquisition of GunBroker.com and certain affiliated companies. At the time the lawsuit was filed, Mr. Urvan was a member of the Board of Directors and our largest stockholder. As described below, Mr. Urvan now serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In May 2023, the Board of Directors established a special committee to address the litigation initiated by Mr. Urvan, as well as a separate lawsuit subsequently filed by the Company against Mr. Urvan (the lawsuit filed by Mr. Urvan together with the lawsuit filed by the Company, the “Delaware Litigation”). In the year ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an estimated liability of $29.1 million related to the Delaware Litigation.
On May 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), by and among the Company, Speedlight Group I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Speedlight”), Mr. Urvan, and the following persons, each of whom serves or previously served on the Board of Directors: Richard R. Childress, Jared Smith, Fred W. Wagenhals and Russell Williams Wallace, Jr. (collectively, the “Legacy Directors”). The Settlement Agreement became effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 30, 2025, pursuant to its terms (the “Settlement Effective Date”). As a result and pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, effective as of the Settlement Effective Date, (i) Jared Smith resigned as a member of the Board of Directors and from his position as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as an officer or member of each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and (ii) Mr. Urvan was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, on June 3, 2025, the Company, Speedlight, Mr. Urvan and the Legacy Directors filed a Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal With Prejudice dismissing, with prejudice, all claims asserted in the Delaware Litigation.
As partial consideration for the settlement, on the Settlement Effective Date, the Company issued to an affiliated designee of Mr. Urvan, a warrant to purchase 7.0 million shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant has a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.81 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, the Warrant is exercisable at the holder’s discretion, in whole or in part, on or after the six-month anniversary of the Settlement Effective Date, subject to certain accelerated vesting in certain circumstances.
In addition to the Warrant, the Company issued to an affiliated designee of Mr. Urvan, (i) an unsecured promissory note in a principal amount of $12.0 million (“Note 1”) and (ii) an unsecured promissory note in a principal amount of $39.0 million (“Note 2” and together with Note 1, the “Notes”). Note 1 bears interest at 6.50% per annum (subject to a 2.00% increase during an event of default), which interest is payable to the holder annually on the anniversary of the Settlement Effective Date, beginning on the first anniversary of the Settlement Effective Date (each interest payment due date, an “Interest Payment Date”). Note 2 bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable federal rate for long-term loans in effect on the Settlement Effective Date (subject to a 2.00% increase during an event of default), which is payable to the holder annually on the Interest Payment Date.
The unpaid principal balance of Note 1 and Note 2 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon is due on the 12th and 10th anniversary, respectively, of the Settlement Effective Date. Pursuant to the terms of Note 1 and Note 2, the Company is required to make annual prepayments of $1.0 million (inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest then due and payable) and $1.95 million, respectively, to the holder on each Interest Payment Date. The Company has the right to prepay all or any part of the principal or interest of the Notes without penalty.
With respect to Note 2, the Company also has the option, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Settlement Effective Date, to prepay all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding principal amount of Note 2 and accrued and unpaid interest thereon in exchange for the issuance of a warrant (the “Additional Warrant”) to purchase 13.0 million shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Warrant Shares”), provided that the Company must first obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of the Additional Warrant and the Additional Warrant Shares pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. The Additional Warrant, if issued, would have a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Additional Warrant, the Additional Warrant would be exercisable at the holder’s discretion, in whole or in part, on or after the first anniversary of the issuance date. Except with respect to the exercise price and the vesting date, the terms of the Additional Warrant and the Warrant are substantially similar.
Overview
Outdoor Holding Company, is the owner of the GunBroker Marketplace ("GunBroker" or the "Marketplace"), a leading online marketplace serving the firearms and shooting sports industries.
Through our Marketplace, we allow third party sellers to list items consisting of firearms, hunting gear, fishing equipment, outdoor gear, collectibles, and much more, while facilitating compliance with federal and state laws that govern the sale of firearms and other restricted items. This allows our base of over 8.4 million users to follow ownership policies and regulations through our network of over 32,000 federally licensed firearms dealers who serve as transfer agents. The nature and operation of the Marketplace as an online auction and sales platform also affords us a unique view into the total domestic market for the purpose of understanding sales trends at a granular level across all elements of the outdoor sports and shooting space. We generate revenue from marketplace fees, which includes auction revenue, compliance fee revenue,banner advertising campaign revenue and shipping revenue. Our vision is to expand the services on GunBroker and to become a peer to those in our industry. Recent expansions we have made to the platform include the following:

Offers include content development, promotional emails, and banner advertisements tailored to the outdoor and shooting sports communities.

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 GAAP, the following information includes key operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate our business. We believe that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparisons of the Company's performance. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures in this Annual Report because they are key measures management uses 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 that 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.

For the year ended March 31, 2024, other nonrecurring expenses consisted of settlement costs and the associated contingent liabilities and nonrecurring compliance expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that displays our net loss from continuing operations, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding (i) provision or benefit for income taxes, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest expense, net, (iv) share-based compensation expenses relating to employee stock awards and common stock purchase options, (v) other income (expense), net, (vi) expenses related to acquisition and divestitures, (vii) professional service and legal fees related to an investigation conducted by a special committee of the Board of Directors (the “Special Committee Investigation”) and (vii) other nonrecurring expenses, such as the contingent liability associated with the Delaware Litigation and professional service and legal fees related to the Delaware Litigation and the SEC Investigation.
We believe that it is useful to exclude these expenses because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following:
•employee stock awards and common stock purchase options expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for the Company and an important part of our compensation strategy;
•the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and the non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures or other capital commitments;
•non-GAAP measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
Net Revenues
We generate revenue from marketplace fees, which includes auction revenue, compliance fee revenue, banner advertising campaign revenue and shipping revenue. Auction revenue consists of optional listing fees with variable pricing components based on customer options and final value fees based on a percentage of the final selling price of the listed item. Compliance fee revenue consists of fees charged to customers based on the final price of an item at the time of purchase. Banner advertising campaign revenue consists of fees charged for advertisement placement and impressions generated through the GunBroker website. Shipping revenue consists of fees for shipping of items sold on the GunBroker website.
Net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $4.5 million, or 8.4%, from the prior year. This decrease was due to a decrease in gross merchandise sales generated from our Marketplace partially offset by a minor increase in our take rate. We believe the reduction in gross merchandise sales was a result of economic conditions and reduced discretionary spending among our customer base.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists of costs associated with facilitating transactions on the GunBroker platform as well as advertising costs.
Cost of revenues decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 15.6%, for the year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the year ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was the result of a reduction in advertising expenses as well as a decrease in credit card fees.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin, which measures our gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 86.9% during the year ended March 31, 2025 from 85.8% for the year ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily a result of our increased take rate.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing expenses, which include tradeshows and marketing expenses, corporate general and administrative expenses, which include legal and professional fees and as well as insurance and rent, employee salaries and related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock based compensation as well as depreciation and amortization expenses.
Operating expenses increased by approximately $49.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the year ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due a $29.1 million contingency for the Delaware Litigation and a $14.1 million increase in legal and professional fees related to the restatement, the Special Committee Investigation, the SEC Investigation, and the Delaware Litigation as well as a $2.1 million increase in other legal and professional fees, $1.5 million in costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures and a $2.0 million increase in payments for director committee service.
Other Income and Expenses
For the year ended March 31, 2025, total other income was $0.8 million and was mainly comprised of interest earned on cash. Total other income of $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 was comprised of interest income on cash
Income Taxes
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a provision for federal and state income taxes of approximately $6.3 million compared to a benefit for federal and state income taxes of $0.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2024. The change in income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2025 was the result of recording a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as we concluded it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Net Revenues
Revenues for the year ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $9.2 million, or 14.6%, from the prior year as firearm purchases continued to normalize from the peaks realized during COVID.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues decreased by $1.5 million, or 16.0%, for the year ended March 31, 2024 compared to the year ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was the result of lower gross merchandise sales.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin percentage remained relatively constant at 85% for the year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing expenses, which include advertising, tradeshows, and marketing expenses, corporate general and administrative expenses, which include legal and professional fees and as well as insurance and rent, employee salaries and related expenses, which include salaries, benefits and stock based compensation as well as depreciation and amortization expenses.
Operating expenses increased by $1.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees partially offset by a decrease in salaries.
Other Income and Expense
Total other income of $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2024 was comprised of interest income on cash. Total other expense of $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2023 was primarily comprised of interest expense on the insurance note.
Income Taxes
For the year ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a benefit for federal and state income taxes of approximately $0.9 million compared to $1.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2023, as a result of an increase in deferred tax assets.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Refer to Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding the Ammunition Segment which is accounted for as discontinued operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had $30.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $25.4 million from $55.6 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024.

Liquidity
We expect existing working capital and cash flows from operations to be adequate to fund our operations over the next 12 months. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of stock sales, bank financings, sales of equity and related-party notes. These sources have been adequate to fund our recurring cash expenditures including but not limited to our working capital requirements, capital expenditures to expand our operations, debt repayments, and acquisitions. In the longer-term, we intend to continue to use the aforementioned sources of funding for capital expenditures, debt repayments and any potential acquisitions.
Leases
We currently lease two locations that are used for our offices. As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.8 million of fixed lease payment obligations with $0.7 million payable within the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2024, we had $2.6 million of fixed lease payment obligations, with $0.7 million payable within the next 12 months. Please refer to Note 8, "Leases" for additional information.
Promissory Notes Issued in Settlement
On May 30, 2025, we issued Note 1 and Note 2 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The aggregate principal amount of Note 1 and Note 2 is $51.0 million, and we are required to make aggregate annual prepayments of $2.95 million beginning on May 30, 2026. See "Settlement Litigation" under Recent Developments above for additional information about Note 1 and Note 2.
Revolving Loan
On December 29, 2023, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Sunflower Agreement”) by and among the Company and the other borrowers party to the Sunflower Agreement, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Sunflower Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Lenders provided us a revolving loan in the principal amount of the lesser of (a) $20.0 million (the “Total Commitment Amount”) and (b) the borrowing base (a formula based on certain amounts owed to borrower for goods sold or services provided and eligible inventory) (the “Revolving Loan”). The proceeds of loans under the Sunflower Agreement may be used for working capital, general corporate purposes, permitted acquisitions, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Revolving Loan, to facilitate our stock repurchase program and to fund our general business requirements.
We are obligated to pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an origination fee, prepayment fee, unused facility fee, collateral monitoring fee and Lender expenses.
We may borrow, repay and re-borrow under the Revolving Loan until December 29, 2026, at which time the commitments will terminate and all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid. If the Revolving Loan is refinanced by another lender prior to December 29, 2026, there is an additional fee payable concurrently with such refinancing based on a percentage (ranging from 1.0% to 3.0%) of the Total Commitment Amount depending on the date of the refinancing.
As of March 31, 2025, we did not have an outstanding balance on the Revolving Loan.
On April 18, 2025, we entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to the Sunflower Agreement ("Sunflower Loan Amendment"). Pursuant to the Sunflower Loan Amendment, we and the Agent agreed to, among other things: (i) release the Agent’s security interest in all collateral securing our obligations under the Sunflower Agreement upon consummation of the sale of the Ammunition Manufacturing Business; (ii) reduce all amounts available under the Revolving Loan to zero dollars as of the effective date of the Sunflower Loan Amendment; (iii) enter into an Amended and Restated Revolving Line Promissory Note in the amount of $5.0 million, representing 100% of the Revolving Line Commitment (as defined in the Sunflower Agreement) available under the Sunflower Agreement, executed by the Company in favor of Agent as of the effective date of the Sunflower Loan Amendment; and (iv) certain other amendments to the Company's customary covenants and obligations under the Sunflower Agreement that only take effect in the event the Revolving Line Availability (as defined in the Sunflower Agreement) is greater than zero dollars.
Upon signing of the Sunflower Loan Amendment, the Revolving Line Availability was reduced to zero dollars and will remain at zero dollars unless we provide the Agent with a security interest in new collateral or otherwise further amends the Sunflower Agreement.
On May 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Sunflower Agreement (the “Third Sunflower Loan Amendment”. Pursuant to the Third Sunflower Loan Amendment, we and the Agent agreed to change the definitions in the Sunflower Agreement of: (i) “AMMO, Inc” to “Outdoor Holding Company,” (ii) “Ammo” to “OHC,” (iii) “AMMO TECHNOLOGIES, INC” to “OHC TECHNOLOGIES, INC,” and (iv) AMMO MUNITIONS, INC” to “OHC MUNITIONS, INC.”
Construction Loan
On October 14, 2021, we entered into a Construction Loan Agreement (the “Hiawatha Loan Agreement”) with Hiawatha National Bank to finance a portion of the construction costs of the Ammunition segment’s approximately 185,000 square foot Manitowoc, WI manufacturing facility (the “Construction Loan”).
As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Construction Loan was $10.8 million. We made $240,937 and $257,425 in principal payments on the Construction Loan for the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
In connection with the sale of the Ammunition segment in April 2025, the Construction Loan was paid in full on April 18, 2025.
Changes in cash flows are summarized as follows:
Operating Activities
For the year ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was attributable to our net loss offset by an increase in accrued liabilities associated with the contingency for the potential settlement of the Delaware Litigation, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash expense for employee stock awards, an increase in accounts payable due to an increase in invoices unpaid at the end of the year, an increase in deferred income taxes, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred income taxes.
For the year ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to non-cash transactions for depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense for stock awards.
For the year ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to a reduction in accounts receivable and non-cash transactions for depreciation and amortization as well as stock-based compensation expense for stock awards offset by a decrease in accounts payable.
Investing Activities
During the year ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $3.4 million related primarily to capitalized development costs related to our Marketplace.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $2.6 million related primarily to capitalized development costs related to our Marketplace.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities consisted of approximately $1.8 million related primarily to capitalized development costs related to our Marketplace.
Financing Activities
During the year ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities consisted of $3.0 million of preferred stock dividends paid, $5.9 million used to repurchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to our repurchase plan (which included shares repurchased related to the Triton Settlement described in the Contingencies section of Note 2), and $0.7 million used to repurchase Common Stock to cover taxes on share awards issued to employees.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities consisted of $3.2 million of insurance premium note payments, $3.0 million of preferred stock dividends paid, and $2.2 million used to repurchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to our repurchase plan partially offset by $0.1 million received from the exercise of warrants.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities consisted of $3.0 million of preferred stock dividends paid, $2.1 million of insurance premium note payments and $0.5 million used to repurchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to our repurchase plan partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from warrants exercised for Common Stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, net sales, expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are included in our significant accounting policies as described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplemental Data, of this report. Those consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Our estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are drawn from historical operations, current trends, future business plans and other factors that management believes are relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. Actual results may differ from our estimates. Management believes that the following accounting estimates reflect the more significant judgments and estimates we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements.
Assets Held for Sales and Discontinued Operations
A business is classified as held for sale when management having the authority to approve the action commits to a plan to sell the business, the business is available for immediate sale in its present condition and an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated. Additionally, the sale must be probable to occur during the next 12 months at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of (i) its carrying amount and (ii) estimated fair value less costs to sell. When the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less costs to sell, a loss is recognized and updated each reporting period as appropriate. Assets held for sale are not further depreciated or amortized once such a determination is reached.
The results of operations of businesses classified as held for sale are reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. When a business is identified for discontinued operations reporting: (i) results for prior periods are retrospectively reclassified as discontinued operations; (ii) results of operations are reported in a single line, net of tax, in the consolidated statement of operations; and (iii) assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale.
The Board of Directors initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives for the Ammunition segment during the year ended March 31, 2025. This review of strategic alternatives resulted in the decision to sell the Ammunition segment. Accordingly, we concluded the assets of the Ammunition segment met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We determined the ultimate disposal will represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the results of the Ammunition segment are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented and the assets and liabilities of the Ammunition segment have been reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The Company has ceased depreciating and amortizing its long-lived assets for the Ammunition segment which primarily includes intangible assets and property and equipment. On January 20, 2025, we entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with the Buyer, pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to (i) acquire the Ammunition Manufacturing Business along with certain assets related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, for a gross purchase price of $75.0 million, subject to customary adjustments for estimated net working capital and real property costs and pro-rations The Transaction closed on April 18, 2025. The net proceeds totaled approximately $42.9 million. The assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed by the Buyer were those primarily related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, including the Ammunition Manufacturing Business’ dedicated manufacturing facility in Manitowoc, WI.
We calculated an estimated loss on classification to held for sale of approximately $45.8 million, reflecting the write-down of the carrying value of the Ammunition segment to fair value less costs to sell. The fair value was determined by using market participant assumptions as there was an expected sale price for the business based on negotiations with the Buyer. Costs to sell included estimated incremental, direct costs incurred to transact the sale of the Ammunition segment. Refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We estimate our allowance for credit losses based on the collectability and age of the accounts receivable balances and categorization of customers that have similar financial condition.
Goodwill
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In testing for goodwill impairment, we may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a two-step impairment test. We test goodwill for impairment under the two-step impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions. Due to the declines in the value of our stock price and market capitalization during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Marketplace segment is less than its carrying amount. Accordingly, the impairment of goodwill was not warranted for the years ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a goodwill carrying value of $90.9 million, all of which is assigned to the Marketplace segment.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments to use the underlying lease asset) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., fixed payments for common-area maintenance costs and other items that transfer a good or service). Some of our leases include variable lease payments, which primarily result from changes in consumer price and other market-based indices, which are generally updated annually, and maintenance and usage charges. These variable payments are excluded from the calculation of our lease assets and lease liabilities.
We utilize the interest rate implicit in the lease to determine the lease liability when the interest rate can be determined. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the recognition of the cost of employee, director and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity over the period the employee, director or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. Stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods and forfeitures are recognized in the periods they occur. There were 1,269,106, 1,936,951 and 1,777,294 shares of common stock issued to employees, members of the Board of Directors, and members of our advisory committee for services for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
We file federal and state income tax returns in accordance with the applicable rules of each jurisdiction. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, and local income taxes currently payable, and deferred taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable amounts in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. In accordance with ASC 740, we recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. We measure recognized income tax positions at the largest amount that is greater than 50%
likely of being realized. We reflect changes in recognition or measurement in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Overview
In September 2024, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors initiated the Special Committee Investigation of certain matters impacting the Company's accounting procedures, disclosure controls and internal controls during prior periods. The Special Committee Investigation was undertaken through independent legal counsel, who received assistance from outside consultants. During the course of the Special Committee Investigation, the Special Committee discovered accounting and financial reporting errors that required restatement resulting primarily from (i) inaccurate valuation of, and accounting for, share-based compensation awards to employees, non-employee directors and other service providers, and shares issued in exchange for goods and services, (ii) inappropriate capitalization of certain share issuance costs and (iii) inappropriate accounting for certain convertible notes and warrants issued by the Company. During the course of the Special Committee Investigation, the Special Committee also found that the Company had not properly disclosed certain executive officers, related party transactions and executive compensation.
Based on the results of the Special Committee Investigation, our review of our financial records, and other work completed by our management, we restated our previously issued financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and the quarters within the year ended March 31, 2024.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025, due to the material weaknesses previously identified and disclosed in Amendment No. 2 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024 and listed below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and of the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP. All internal control
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management determined that the previously disclosed material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting processes that involve the control environment, information and communication, monitoring activities, and control activities components of the framework set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) continue to exist at March 31, 2025, and specifically include:
Control Environment, Information and Communication, and Monitoring Activities - Under the COSO framework, the Board of Directors and senior management establish the tone at the top regarding the importance of internal controls and management reinforces expectations at the various levels of the company.
We did not execute appropriately designed entity-level controls governing the control environment and effective monitoring controls to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements. These deficiencies were attributed to (i) a lack of a sufficient complement of qualified personnel within the accounting and financial reporting function, including reliance on unqualified personnel, with an appropriate level of technical expertise to provide for sufficient oversight, accountability and monitoring over the performance of control activities, (ii) insufficient governance to monitor compliance with the Company's Code of Conduct to identify, evaluate, and report potential fraud as well as related director and management behavior, such as, among other things, director independence, and (iii) improper review and approval of disclosure regarding related party transactions and executive compensation.
Control Activities - These material weaknesses in the control environment resulted in certain instances of inappropriate accounting decisions and inappropriate changes in accounting methodology and contributed to the following additional material weaknesses whereby we did not design, implement and maintain effective controls within certain business processes:
•Complex Technical Accounting: Stock Compensation / Warrants / Convertible Notes - We did not design and maintain controls over the effective review of the models, assumptions and data used in developing estimates or changes made to models, assumptions and data to ensure the appropriate application of GAAP. It was further determined that the existence of complementary or compensating controls could not be relied upon to mitigate the identified deficiencies given failures were detected in all critical procedures from initiation to disclosure of the related transactions, including: timely and accurate accounting assessments performed over newly executed contracts to ensure appropriate application of GAAP; the review and approval of the issuance of stock awards to employees and third-party service providers including determining specific grant dates and key terms; determination of an appropriate fair value measurement for financial instruments; review of the classification and recording of equity compensation expenses; timely and accurate application of GAAP related to equity issuance costs; and recognition and disclosure of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees, directors and third parties.
•Related Party Transactions and Executive Compensation - We did not properly maintain controls over the identification and disclosure of related party transactions and executive compensation. There were insufficient management review procedures to validate the completeness and accuracy of related party and executive compensation disclosures and to clearly define and evidence the process used and criteria and judgment applied to identify and disclose related party transactions and executive compensation.
•Financial Reporting - We did not properly maintain controls over period-end financial reporting, including tie-out and review of supporting documentation. There were insufficient management review procedures to
validate the completeness and accuracy of complex technical accounting transactions and to clearly define and evidence the process used and criteria and judgment applied in the performance of critical business components.
•Segregation of Duties - We failed to properly separate the execution of certain controls by designated senior management, which did not provide for proper segregation between preparer and reviewer for select transactions. We further failed to fully resolve identified segregation of duties conflicts with system access for designated business and IT users, thus related user access review and application change management procedures could not be relied upon for select Company systems.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives for Existing Material Weaknesses
Following the identification of the material weaknesses described above, and with the oversight of the Audit Committee, management is committed to the planning and implementation of remediation efforts to address these material weaknesses. The remediation efforts, summarized below, which are either implemented or in process, are intended to both address the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our overall financial control environment. In this regard, our initiatives include:
Control Environment, Information and Communication, and Monitoring Activities:
•Executive Communications to Reinforce Compliance - The Company’s recently appointed CEO and other executives, at the direction of the Board of Directors, have reinforced the importance of adherence to the Company’s policies and procedures regarding ethics and compliance and the importance of identifying misconduct and raising and communicating concerns. This reinforcement has occurred through email and employee newsletter communications, staff meetings, remarks given to senior management, as well as other employee forums, including mandatory ethics training. The Company’s CEO and other executives, at the direction of the Board of Directors, have prioritized the remediation of the previously disclosed material weaknesses and are evaluating additional compliance efforts required to achieve remediation status.
•Organizational Enhancements - The Company has identified and continues to implement several organizational enhancements, as follows: (i) the identification and successful hiring of a Chief Financial Officer, who brings extensive knowledge across finance, strategy, and transformation; (ii)the identification and successful hiring of a Vice President of Accounting and External Reporting, who has the responsibility and authority to ensure that GAAP and accounting for complex or non-routine transactions that require specialized accounting are appropriately applied corporate-wide (iii) the enhancement of the Company’s organizational structure over all finance functions and an increase in the Company’s accounting personnel with the requisite knowledge, experience, and training in GAAP to ensure that a formalized process for determining, documenting, communicating, implementing and monitoring controls over the period-end financial close and reporting processes is maintained and proper segregation exists between the preparer and reviewer for select transactions, and (iv) enhancement of accounting policies and procedures related to journal entries, invoice approval, account reconciliations and variance thresholds.
•Significant and Unusual Transactions - The Company continues to evaluate its practices related to significant non-recurring transactions and continues to implement improvements in those practices, including: (i) updating the process to address agreements with non-standard terms, including formalized review and approval (ii) more formalized practices for assessing the need for utilization of a third-party expert for unusual or complex transactions and (iii) the development of a more comprehensive review process and monitoring controls over significant transactions to ensure accurate accounting and the preparation of accounting memoranda.
•Related Party Transaction Policy - The Company implemented a new Related Party Transactions Policy in June, 2024 to proactively identify transactions and improve disclosures. Guidance is provided by new corporate disclosure counsel with review/approval by the Audit Committee.
•Perquisites Policy - The Company implemented a new Perquisites Policy in May, 2025 to better define its perquisites disclosure requirements, perquisite identification, training, and employee compliance requirements.
•Establishment of Disclosure Committee - In June 2024, the Company established a formal disclosure committee that includes key members of management that have responsibility for disclosure information
necessary for periodic reports filed with the SEC. This committee has met, and will continue to meet, on an as-needed basis as well as prior to the Audit Committee meeting in which a Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or other relevant Exchange Act document will be approved and will conduct follow-up meetings as necessary. The meetings cover all significant events from the period being reported upon and supporting information. A charter was created governing the conduct of this committee, a formal agenda is distributed prior to each meeting, and minutes are maintained for each meeting.
Control Activities:
•Implementation of New Accounting System - The Company has implemented a new accounting system intended to allow management to effectively design and implement appropriate general information technology and automated system controls, including system enforced segregation of duties. While the implementation of the new accounting system is complete, the previously reported material weakness for failure to maintain effectively designed Information Technology General Controls for one of the third-party information technology systems that supports the Company’s financial reporting process remains for the year ended March 31, 2025, as the superseded system was in place for the majority of the year. The Company continues to evaluate other systems and applications for additional controls. Management will also continue the rollout of IT remediation action plans, including developing an enhanced risk assessment process for third-party IT systems and implementation of IT monitoring procedures.
•Implementation and Enhancement of Entity Wide Controls - The Company is in the process of enhancing existing entity-wide controls as a result of the control design remediation efforts and Audit Committee recommendations, and implementing the following new controls entity wide around the quarterly/annual financial reporting process:
▪Enhanced Review Procedures : The Company has initiated enhancements to its management review procedures through additional training of accounting staff, improved evidence of review through tick marks and screenshots to validate the completeness and accuracy of transactions and to clearly define and evidence the process used and criteria and judgment applied in performance of critical business activities.
▪The Company has also hired additional personnel and engaged third-party accounting experts, as needed, in its financial reporting and accounting function to ensure we have a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.
We believe the foregoing efforts, when fully implemented and operational, will effectively remediate the material weaknesses described above and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address these control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act in Rule 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As of the filing of this Annual Report, we continue to implement the changes and remediation plan described above.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Outdoor Holding Company
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Outdoor Holding Company’s (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described in the following paragraph on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment.
•The Company failed to execute appropriately designed entity-level controls governing the control environment and effective monitoring controls. These deficiencies were attributed to (i) a lack of a sufficient complement of qualified personnel within the accounting and financial reporting function, (ii) insufficient governance to monitor compliance with the Company's Code of Conduct, and (iii) improper review and approval of disclosure regarding related party transactions and executive compensation.
•These material weaknesses resulted in certain instances of inappropriate accounting decisions and inappropriate accounting methodologies and contributed to the following additional material weaknesses whereby the Company did not design, implement and maintain effective controls within certain business processes related to (i) complex technical accounting, such as stock compensation, warrants and convertible notes, (ii) related party transactions and executive compensation, (iii) financial reporting, and (iv) segregation of duties.
The material weaknesses referred to above are described in more detail in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2025 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated June 16, 2025, on those financial statements.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company, and our report dated June 16, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
