Investing.com -- American Outdoor Brands , Inc. (NASDAQ:AOUT) saw its stock jump 8.8% after reporting fourth quarter fiscal 2025 results that exceeded revenue expectations, despite missing earnings estimates by a penny.
The outdoor products company reported Q4 revenue of $61.9 million, surpassing analyst estimates of $50.14 million and marking a 33.8% increase YoY. However, adjusted earnings per share came in at -$0.08, slightly below the -$0.07 consensus estimate.
American Outdoor Brands suspended its previously issued fiscal 2026 net sales guidance, citing macroeconomic uncertainties and accelerated retailer purchases. The company noted that retailers pulled forward $8 million to $10 million in orders originally planned for fiscal 2026 into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
"Fiscal 2025 was a landmark year for American Outdoor Brands, as we exceeded our expectations across the board," said CEO Brian Murphy. He highlighted the company’s innovation momentum and strengthened retail partnerships as key drivers of performance.
CFO Andrew Fulmer emphasized the company’s financial discipline, stating, "We achieved strong financial results in fiscal 2025, exceeding our prior guidance on both the top and bottom line."
For the full fiscal year 2025, American Outdoor Brands reported net sales of $222.3 million, up 10.6% from the previous year. Adjusted net income for the year reached $10.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in fiscal 2024.
Despite suspending guidance, management expressed confidence in the company’s long-term growth prospects, citing its innovation capabilities, cost discipline, and flexible operating model as key strengths in navigating the uncertain macro environment.
