Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. announced financial results for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014.

For the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2014:

Net sales decreased by 3.0% to $132.4 million from $136.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Same store sales decreased by 18.1% primarily as a result of the decline in demand for firearms and ammunition. Same store sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased by 20.8% compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, fueled by the firearms and ammunition surge.

Income (loss) from operations decreased to a loss of $0.2 million from income of $10.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Adjusted income from operations, which excludes expenses related to bonuses paid as a result of the successful completion of our initial public offering ("IPO") (see "GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures"), was $2.0 million as compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Sportsman's opened 3 new stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and ended the quarter with 50 stores in 18 states, a unit increase of 11.1% from the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Interest expense increased to $5.3 million from $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Net loss was $3.4 million compared to net income of $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Adjusted net loss, which excludes expenses related to the IPO bonuses, net of taxes (see "GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures"), was $2.0 million compared to adjusted net income of $4.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million compared to $14.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. John Schaefer, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Our first quarter results, which came in better than our expectations, were impacted by the general slowdown in firearm sales against the surge-driven comparison from last year, a dynamic we expect to continue until the second half of this year."
