“The strength of our fourth quarter financial results was in-line with our expectations, and represents execution of our growth plan, from strategic investments we have made across the business, from distribution, to product innovation and operational infrastructure,” said Jeff Toghraie, AXIL Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We exited the year at an annual sales run-rate of nearly $35 million and gross margins of 72% in the fourth quarter, which was at the higher end of our historical range. Net income of $1.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share for the quarter compared to a loss in last year’s same period and compared to just a marginal profit in our last quarter, brought our full year net income to $2.7 million, or $0.33 in diluted EPS, compared to $0.10 for our full year of 2025. These all represent record results for Axil.”

“The quarter also reflects what was a defining year for our retail distribution strategy. We expanded our Walmart partnership to approximately 1,250 store locations, entered Sportsman’s Warehouse across approximately 70 specialty retail locations, and subsequent to fiscal year end, announced that our full product line became available at U.S. Marine Corps Exchange locations beginning in July 2026. We estimate our total store count has grown to approximately 6,000 locations compared to approximately 1,800 at the end of last fiscal year. That growth, across mass, specialty, and now military channels, reflects the broadening appeal of the AXIL brand and the strength of the relationships we have built.”

“We continued to invest in the product portfolio that underpins our long-term competitive position. The launch of the MX II Series, powered by our proprietary SonicShieldX™ technology, and the introduction of the AXIL CRX expand our offering across form factors and price points.”

“We enter fiscal 2027 with a stronger balance sheet, no outstanding borrowings, a larger retail footprint and a deeper product portfolio. We believe AXIL is still in the early stages of a multi-year growth trajectory, and we remain focused on executing the strategy that will achieve consistent and sustainable returns for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Toghraie.

Quarterly Financial Review:

Net revenues increased by $2,811,154, or 48.9%, to $8,562,463 for the three months ende

Quarterly Results:

Net sales increased by $371,663, or 5.4%, to $7,294,030 for the three months ended February 28, 2026, compared to $6,922,367 for the prior-year period, primarily driven by continued growth in demand for our hearing enhancement and protective equipment products, and partially offset by lower sales in our hair and skin care segment, which were impacted by the absence of a significant distributor order that was fulfilled in the prior-year period.

Cost of sales increased by $296,270 or 15.1% from $1,955,939 in the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $2,252,209 in the three months ended February 28, 2026. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was 30.9% as compared to 28.3% for the three months ended February 28, 2025. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased primarily due to increased tariffs.

Gross profit increased by $75,393 or 1.5% from $4,966,428 in the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $5,041,821 for the three months ended February 28, 2026. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was 69.1%, as compared to 71.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased primarily due to higher customs duties.

Operating expenses increased by $444,263 or 10.1% from $4,383,319 in the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $4,827,582 in the three months ended February 28, 2026. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2026 was 66.2% compared to 63.3% for the three months ended February 28, 2025. Operating expenses increased primarily due to higher sales and marketing expenses of approximately $400,000, reflecting increased investment in retail sales promotional initiatives and efforts to enhance overall brand awareness.

Income from operations for the three months ended February 28, 2026, was $214,239 compared to $583,109 for the three months ended February 28, 2025. The decrease in income from operations of $368,870 related primarily to an increase in sales and marketing costs as explained above.

Net income was $203,046 and $576,662 for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $419,752 or 47.1% from $890,546 for the three months ended February 28, 2025 to $470,794 for the three months ended February 28, 2026. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales, net for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, was 6.5% and 12.9%, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to an approximately $400,000 increase in retail sales and marketing expenses, reflecting continued investment in our channel diversification strategy and broader brand-building initiatives aimed at driving long-term revenue growth.
