The Company expects free cash flow for the full year to be approximately $7.6M. "I am pleased to report that our preliminary fourth quarter and full year results exceeded our expectations," said Paul Stone, Chief Executive Officer of Sportsman's Warehouse. "Although November and early December started out softer than expected - causing us to adjust our guidance - we saw sales accelerate mid fourth quarter, which carried into both January and February. The fourth quarter was highlighted by our strong performance in the hunting and shooting sports category, where we once again outperformed the adjusted NICS background check data, suggesting market share gains within the firearm space." "2025 marks the first year since 2020 where we have achieved positive same store sales growth for the full year," continued Stone. "This is a testament to the execution of our three-year turnaround strategy we began to implement in 2024. I am also pleased with how we efficiently managed our balance sheet, with inventory expected to be down nearly 8.5% compared to last year and net debt anticipated to be down 6.1%. This gives me confidence that our team has the business well-positioned to achieve profitable growth in 2026."
