Sportsman’s Warehouse Reports Slight Increase in Net Sales and Reduced Losses for Q2 FY 2026

Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, ending August 1, 2026, revealing a slight increase in net sales and a reduction in net losses compared to the same period in the previous year. The company generated net sales of $295.6 million, a 0.6% increase from $293.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Gross profit also rose to $96.0 million, up 2.2% from $93.9 million, resulting in a gross margin of 32.5%, compared to 32.0% in the prior year. However, the company reported a net loss of $4.4 million, an improvement from the $7.1 million loss recorded in the same quarter last year.

In terms of operational metrics, Sportsman’s Warehouse experienced a flat same-store sales performance during the quarter, with notable increases in its Hunting and Shooting Sports department, which saw a $11.1 million rise in sales, primarily driven by firearms and ammunition. Conversely, other departments such as Camping, Footwear, and Apparel faced declines, reflecting ongoing consumer pressures and adverse weather conditions in the western United States. E-commerce sales accounted for approximately 19% of total sales, indicating a growing reliance on online channels.

The company’s financial position showed significant changes compared to the previous fiscal period. Total current assets increased to $424.3 million from $337.7 million, driven by a rise in merchandise inventories, which reached $399.0 million, up from $312.9 million. Current liabilities also rose to $363.4 million, up from $249.0 million, largely due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The company’s total liabilities increased to $672.3 million from $574.0 million, while stockholders' equity decreased to $163.8 million from $188.6 million, reflecting the net losses incurred.

Strategically, Sportsman’s Warehouse is reviewing its store portfolio and plans to close approximately five underperforming locations, with no new store openings planned for fiscal year 2026. The company aims to prioritize capital allocation towards technology investments and debt repayment. As of August 1, 2026, the company operated 147 stores across 32 states and continues to focus on enhancing its e-commerce platform. The company’s liquidity position remains stable, with $2.0 million in cash and $103.0 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility.

Looking ahead, Sportsman’s Warehouse acknowledges the impact of macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and consumer spending pressures, on its business. The company remains cautious in its outlook for the remainder of fiscal year 2026, emphasizing the importance of strategic decisions in navigating these challenges. The management is focused on improving operational efficiency and maintaining a disciplined approach to inventory management, which has already shown positive results with a 10% decrease in inventory compared to the previous year.
