[{"type":"text","content":"SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), one of the world's leading providers of firearms and quality products for the shooting, hunting, and rugged outdoor enthusiast, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2020, ended April 30, 2020.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nFourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Highlights\nQuarterly net sales were $233.6 million compared with $175.7 million for the fourth quarter last year, an increase of 32.9%. It should be noted that a change required by the Tax and Trade Bureau related to the timing of federal excise tax assessment within the company's Firearms segment favorably impacted net sales in the quarter by $16.7 million. That change had no impact on gross margin dollars or operating expenses. Gross margin for the quarter was 34.8% compared with 36.1% for the comparable quarter last year. Excluding the change related to the timing of federal excise tax within the company's Firearms segment, gross margin for the quarter would have been 37.5%, or an increase of 140 basis points over the comparable quarter last year. Quarterly GAAP net loss was $(66.1) million, or $(1.20) per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $9.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. During the quarter, the company's Outdoor Products & Accessories segment was negatively impacted by several factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, constituting a triggering event under Accounting Standards Codification No. 350, Intangible-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), requiring the company to take a $98.7 million, non-cash impairment charge in its Outdoor Products & Accessories segment. Results for the recent quarter include the non-cash impairment charge, which had a $(1.79) impact on basic and diluted earnings per share. Quarterly non-GAAP net income was $31.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared with $14.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments for net income exclude a non-cash impairment of goodwill in the Outdoor Products & Accessories segment as well as costs related to the planned spin-off of that segment, COVID-19 related expenses, and other costs.
