American Outdoor Brands has reported better-than-expected results on both its top and bottom lines during the fourth quarter, concluding what management described as a “landmark year”.

The company’s net sales soared 33.8 per cent to $61.9 million for the quarter ended April 30, while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose from $1 million in the year-ago period to $3.5 million.

The company noted that the quarter’s sales was partially accelerated by retailers’ increased orders as they acted to secure inventory and get ahead of the tariff changes. 

Full-year net sales grew 10.6 per cent to $222.3 million, attributed to strong growth in traditional channel sales. Adjusted EBITDA increased from $9.8 million to $17.7 million.

“Fiscal 2025 was a landmark year for American Outdoor Brands, as we exceeded our expectations across the board – thanks to continued innovation momentum, strong execution, and deepening partnerships with our retail and distribution channels,” commented president and CEO Brian Murphy.

“Across the business, we made major progress on our long-term strategic goals: we successfully transitioned DTC brands like Grilla and Meat! into retail, delivered double-digit international growth, and continued our strategic mix shift toward the Outdoor Lifestyle category, which now represents 57 per cent of our revenue,” he added.

The company did not provide its outlook for this fiscal year, citing evolving tariff policies and consumer behavior.
