[{"type":"text","content":"WEST JORDAN, Utah, March 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. (\"Sportsman's Warehouse\" or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SPWH) today announced financial results for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended February 1, 2020.\n “We are pleased with our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019 results. Despite some competitive challenges in December, we exceeded the high-end of our updated outlook on net sales, and met the high-end of our updated outlook on earnings per share,” said Jon Barker, Sportsman’s Warehouse CEO. “We made great progress in 2019 executing on our growth initiatives, which included enhancing our omni-channel platform, improving our loyalty program, and broadening our firearms products and services offering.
