We remain committed to disciplined expense management and will continue to align our cost structure with business activity while preserving flexibility to respond to changing market conditions.

Jun 25, 2026 / receipt, needs a key / Andy Fulmer, CFO | earnings call 2026-06-25 | transcript 8b40b997-f252-4e07-aa77-85d8bd09f662 | chars 21446-21639 | segment 21

We've reduced spending in areas such as travel, remote office footprints, and non-essential contracts. As a result, we expect total operating expenses to decline for full fiscal 2026.

Mar 12, 2026 / receipt, needs a key / Andy Fulmer, CFO | earnings call 2026-03-12 | transcript f6254d25-c004-4aad-bf09-1341209f6702 | chars 17573-17756 | segment 17

That said, we've identified certain potential cost-saving opportunities within the organization. For example, reducing travel expenses, consolidating remote offices, and allowing non-essential contracts to expire without renewal.

Dec 9, 2025 / receipt, needs a key / Andy Fulmer, CFO | earnings call 2025-12-09 | transcript 206dec2e-0ecd-4a71-9c40-9e75c39aa74f | chars 20054-20283 | segment 20

As a reminder, Q3 OPEX is typically higher than other quarters due to the cost of trade shows like SHOT Show in January.

Dec 5, 2024 / receipt, needs a key / Andy Fulmer, CFO | earnings call 2024-12-05 | transcript 04910901-2293-4d3a-a54c-fef3cd9da1e7 | chars 19552-19672 | segment 19

With regard to OPEX, we expect Q4 OPEX spending to decline sequentially from Q3, both from reductions in variable selling and distribution costs driven by lower sales volume, and a reduction in marketing costs from having no major trade shows.

Mar 9, 2023 / receipt, needs a key / Andy, CFO | earnings call 2023-03-09 | transcript 8845389c-b3f4-4bf4-81e5-1ac48164d088 | chars 20999-21242 | segment 21

Our sales and marketing teams were very busy in Q1, safely traveling and attending physical shows for the first time in over a year, unveiling a wide range of exciting new products and rolling out ramped-up advertising and social media campaigns to connect with our consumers.

Sep 9, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Brian Murphy, CEO | earnings call 2021-09-09 | transcript cf16ecbc-83e2-4599-85c6-f8db20c0632c | chars 4651-4927 | segment 4

As we've discussed before, we plan to invest in sales and marketing initiatives in fiscal 22, including business travel and trade shows at more normalized levels than we did in fiscal 21 when pandemic-related restrictions eliminated those valuable opportunities to connect with our customers. We expect those investments to continue throughout fiscal 22.

Sep 9, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Andy Fulmer, CFO | earnings call 2021-09-09 | transcript cf16ecbc-83e2-4599-85c6-f8db20c0632c | chars 17804-18158 | segment 18

And then, yeah, going in fiscal 22, we plan on investing in travel, trade shows, and other really brand investments. You know, we saw some really good investments that we made in fiscal 21, and we're going to continue to invest for our long-term growth.

Jul 15, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Andy, other | earnings call 2021-07-15 | transcript 7ee4b9e2-000f-44f2-9b73-6c0777d045b0 | chars 29186-29439 | segment 29

This year we'll also have more of a one-time cost for trade show booths. And really that's because under our former parent company, our trade show booths were under that parent company and now spun off after COVID. As we attend these trade shows, we're investing in those booths.

Jul 15, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Andy, other | earnings call 2021-07-15 | transcript 7ee4b9e2-000f-44f2-9b73-6c0777d045b0 | chars 35799-36078 | segment 36

In terms of OPEX, we expect fixed selling and marketing costs to increase from Q3 to Q4 as we redirect travel and trade show-related savings from early fiscal 21 to strategic initiatives in Q4.

Mar 17, 2021 / receipt, needs a key / Andy, CEO | earnings call 2021-03-17 | transcript 3f0f828a-6cd5-482e-a2f3-7968f4c6ebe3 | chars 22319-22512 | segment 22

Consistent with Q1, our Q2 operating expenses were lower than planned, largely due to the impact of the pandemic, which obviously drove meaningful restrictions in travel and the elimination of most trade shows, including SHOT Show, where companies like ours launched the bulk of their new shooting sports and hunting-related products.

Dec 15, 2020 / receipt, needs a key / Andy, CFO | earnings call 2020-12-15 | transcript 5de9df8c-81ab-4218-92f7-6e5435d9ab55 | chars 18681-19015 | segment 18
