Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation Reports
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2011 Financial Results

	•		Total Sales in Q4 Increase 7.7% Year-Over-Year to $112 Million
	•		Record Firearm Sales in Q4 Rise 12.7% Year-Over-Year to $102 Million
	•		Firearm Backlog Grows to $187 Million in Q4, a 153% Sequential Increase

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 30, 2011 — Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: SWHC), a leader in the business of safety, security, protection, and sport, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.

Michael F. Golden, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We completed fiscal 2011 with strong manufacturing performance in our core firearm business, highlighted by record quarterly sales, record units shipped, and a 153% sequential quarterly increase in our backlog. These achievements for the quarter were driven by significant growth in demand across nearly all firearm product lines, with particular strength exhibited by our recently launched products and our repositioned products, including the BODYGUARD^® line as well as the polymer framed pistol and modern sporting rifle lines. With our firearm business running at record production levels at year-end and the consolidation of our Thomson/Center Arms operations underway, we intend to remain focused on adding highly flexible manufacturing capacity and implementing lean initiatives. These actions are directly aimed at increasing shippable product to meet demand as well as improving margins in fiscal 2012.

“While the recent strategic rebranding of our security solutions division under the globally recognized Smith & Wesson brand has been well received, the environment in which this business operates remains challenging. Lower levels of government and corporate capital funding, as well as the presence of price-focused competition, remain near-term factors. Accordingly, our efforts have centered on reducing costs as well as developing and deploying new products to address broader customer requirements. We believe we are taking the necessary actions to get this business aligned with current market conditions, and we remain committed to this business as a platform for expansion beyond firearms into the security market,” concluded Mr. Golden.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Highlights

•

Net sales for the fourth quarter were a record $111.8 million compared with $103.8 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 7.7%.

•

Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter was 30.2% compared with 31.3% for the prior year quarter, including the impact of costs associated with the consolidation of the Thompson/Center Arms operations. Excluding those costs, fourth quarter gross profit margin would have slightly exceeded the prior year quarter.

•

Operating expense for the fourth quarter totaled $28.4 million, or 25.4% of sales, compared with operating expense of $23.7 million, or 22.8% of sales, for the fourth quarter of last year. The increased operating expense included increased legal costs in the firearm division and downsizing costs in the security solutions division.

•

Net income for the fourth quarter was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year. Current fourth quarter results include the negative impact of $0.08 per diluted share related to our security solutions division and the negative impact of $0.05 per diluted share related to unusual expenses during the quarter, including costs associated with the Thompson/Center Arms consolidation and the previously announced DOJ and SEC investigations. Net income for the fourth quarter last year included a non-cash, fair-value adjustment to the contingent consideration liability related to the company’s acquisition of Universal Safety Response (since renamed Smith & Wesson Security Solutions) that decreased fully diluted earnings by $0.04 per share.

•

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDAS for the fourth quarter totaled $12.9 million compared with $15.1 million for the year-ago quarter.

Full Year Fiscal 2011 Financial Highlights

•

Total company net sales were $392.3 million compared with $406.2 million for the prior year, down 3.4%. The prior year included a period of heightened consumer demand in firearms, which began in fiscal 2009.

•

Gross profit margin was 29.5% compared with 32.4% for the prior year.

•

As previously announced, the company determined that the goodwill and certain long-lived intangible assets related to its acquisition of Universal Safety Response were impaired because of changing market conditions. Therefore, the company recorded noncash impairment charges totaling $90.5 million related to its security solutions division.

•

Operating expenses were $196.3 million, or 50.0% of sales, compared with operating expenses of $89.1 million, or 21.9% of sales, in fiscal 2010. Excluding the impairment charges described above, operating expenses for fiscal 2011 would have been $105.8 million, or 27.0% of sales. The increase in operating expenses included $9.2 million in sales and administrative costs to stabilize and enhance the security solutions division and increased legal costs of $6.7 million associated with the DOJ and SEC investigations.

•

Net loss was $82.8 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared with net income of $32.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, a year ago. The net loss for fiscal 2011 included a $1.44 per diluted share negative impact of the impairment charges described above.

•

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS for fiscal 2011 totaled $36.7 million compared with $61.3 million last year.

Firearm Division

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were a record $101.7 million, a 12.7% increase over the fourth quarter last year. Higher sales were evident across nearly all product lines, with BODYGUARD products, price repositioned polymer framed pistols, and modern sporting rifles as primary drivers. Pistol sales grew 29.9% in the quarter as the consumer trend toward smaller firearms designed for concealed carry and personal protection appeared to continue, benefiting the company, which is well positioned with a wide portfolio of products. Firearm net sales for fiscal 2011 were $342.2 million compared with $357.9 million a year ago, a decline of 4.4%. Fourth quarter fiscal 2011 gross profit totaled $31.2 million, or 30.7% of sales, compared with gross profit of $29.8 million, or 33.0% of sales, for the year ago quarter. Fiscal 2011 gross profit was $104.7 million, or 30.6% of sales, compared with gross profit of $119.5 million, or 33.4% of sales, for the prior fiscal year.

In line with record sales for the fourth quarter, the company also experienced record production levels. In the fourth quarter, sales into the consumer channel were $90.2 million, accounting for nearly 90% of total firearm revenue and an increase of 17% over the comparable period last year.

Firearm backlog grew to $186.7 million at year end, an increase of $112.9 million from the end of the third quarter and $78.7 million higher than at the end of the previous fiscal year. The increase reflected strong orders for Smith & Wesson products that were strategically price repositioned as well as several recently launched new products. Backlog in the firearm division is typically cancellable until shipped and reflects orders that are shippable throughout the entire fiscal year.

The consolidation of the Thompson/Center Arms operations into the company’s Springfield, Massachusetts facility remains scheduled for completion by November 2011.

Security Solutions Division

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were $10.1 million compared with net sales of $13.6 million for the fourth quarter last year, a decline of 25.6%. Security solutions division net sales for fiscal 2011 were $50.1 million compared with net sales of $48.3 million for the prior year, a period that reflected the approximate nine-month period in fiscal 2010 beginning with the company’s acquisition of the division in July 2009. Gross profit for the fourth quarter was $2.5 million, or 24.8% of sales, compared with gross profit of $2.7 million, or 20.2% of sales, for the comparable quarter last year. Gross profit for fiscal 2011 was $11.2 million, or 22.4% of sales, compared with gross profit of $11.9 million, or 24.7% of sales, reflecting the approximate nine-month, post-acquisition period in fiscal 2010. Backlog was $20.6 million at year end, a sequential increase of $1.6 million from the end of the third quarter, but a decrease of $14.5 million from the end of the prior fiscal year.

The decision to rebrand the division to Smith & Wesson Security Solutions (SWSS) has proven to be a positive move as the company has seen a measurable improvement in customer awareness, interest level, and inquiries. The company has recently taken steps to right-size the organization to match the current market conditions through a range of cost reduction measures as well as the consolidation of personnel into a single facility. These actions are aimed at improving the company’s ability to capture new business and increasing market share while facilitating longer term margin improvement in order to establish a more competitive posture for the business.

Business Outlook

The company currently anticipates total net sales for fiscal 2012 of between $420.0 million and $440.0 million, which would represent growth of between 7% and 12%. Full year firearm division sales are anticipated to increase between 11% and 13% year-over-year, with security solutions division sales anticipated to be flat to down versus fiscal 2011. The company expects total gross profit margin for fiscal 2012 to be approximately 30%, including expenses related to the Thompson/Center Arms consolidation and anticipated gross margin pressure in the security solutions division.

The company expects total net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to be between $92.0 million and $95.0 million. Firearm division net sales are anticipated to be between $86.0 million and $89.0 million, with the security solutions division contributing the balance. Total company gross profit margin is anticipated to be between 28.0% and 29.0%, inclusive of expenses relating to the Thompson/Center Arms consolidation, which are expected to cause about a one percent reduction in gross margin for the quarter. Total company operating expense is expected to be approximately 28.0% of sales, reflecting ongoing DOJ and SEC matters, and including severance and other costs relating to the Thompson/Center Arms consolidation.

Jeffrey D. Buchanan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, “We had $58.3 million in cash as of April 30, 2011, no borrowings under our $120.0 million credit facility, and working capital of $81.3 million. Given our strong balance sheet, we expect to have ample cash and funding sources to address the $30.0 million of convertible notes that can be put to us for repurchase in December of this year. As we proceed through fiscal 2012, our financial focus will center on optimizing cost-efficiencies across the organization and translating our planned revenue growth into increased profitability.”

Conference Call and Webcast

The company will host a conference call and webcast today, June 30, 2011, to discuss its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2011 financial and operational results. Speakers on the conference call will include Michael Golden, President and CEO; Jeffrey Buchanan, Executive Vice President and CFO; James Debney, President of the Firearm Division; and Barry Willingham, President of Smith & Wesson Security Solutions. The conference call may include forward-looking statements. The conference call and webcast will begin at 5:00 pm Eastern Time (2:00 pm Pacific Time). Those interested in listening to the call via telephone may call directly at 617-614-6207 and reference conference code 33276310. No RSVP is necessary. The conference call audio webcast can also be accessed live and for replay on the company’s website at www.smith-wesson.com, under the Investor Relations section. The company will maintain an audio replay of this conference call on its website for a period of time after the call. No other audio replay will be available.

Accounting for Contingent Consideration Related to the SWSS Acquisition

The purchase of SWSS included a provision whereby the former stockholders of SWSS could earn up to 4,080,000 shares of Smith & Wesson common stock in the event SWSS achieved established EBITDAS performance targets by December 2010. Accounting pronouncements require that the value of the entire earn-out amount be recorded as a liability as of the transaction date. This earn-out consideration was recorded as a liability on the July 20, 2009 transaction closing date of approximately $27.8 million based on a stock price on that date of $6.86. On August 19, 2010, the company entered into a waiver and amendment to the merger agreement to waive the achievement of the EBITDAS target for the 2010 calendar year as a condition to the issuance of the 4,080,000 earn-out shares, and instead agreed to issue the 4,080,000 shares to the former stockholders of SWSS on March 18, 2011. Therefore, effective August 19, 2010, this liability was adjusted to the current market price ($3.72 per share, or $15.2 million) and reclassified to equity.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAS

In this press release, a non-GAAP financial measure known as “Adjusted EBITDAS” is presented. From time-to-time, the company considers and uses Adjusted EBITDAS as a supplemental measure of operating performance in order to provide the reader with an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. Adjusted EBITDAS excludes the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation of tangible fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based employee compensation expense, impairment charge to goodwill and indefinite lived long-lived intangible assets related to the acquisition of SWSS, DOJ and SEC investigation costs, and certain other transactions. See the attached “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Adjusted EBITDAS” for a detailed explanation of the amounts excluded and included from net income to arrive at Adjusted EBITDAS for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended April 30, 2011. Adjusted or non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and the company with supplemental measures of operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods before, during, and after certain items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Adjusted financial measures are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP results. The company’s definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others.
