(NYSE: RGR) ("Ruger" or the "Company") announced today its financial results for the first quarter 2026. First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights During the first quarter, the Company incurred incremental expenses associated with negotiating a Strategic Cooperation Agreement ("Agreement") with Beretta Holding S.A.

As announced on May 4, 2026, Ruger and Beretta Holding executed the Agreement, which reflects a shared commitment to long-term value creation, constructive engagement, and stability for Ruger’s shareholders, employees, customers and industry partners.

Additional Agreement-related expenses may be incurred in the near term.
