Ruger and Beretta Holding S.A. Announce Strategic Cooperation Agreement

May 4, 2026 9:41 AM
Business Wire

Agreement Reflects Mutual Commitment to Long-Term Value Creation & Stability

Ruger to Increase Beretta Holding Ownership Cap to 25% of the Company

Ruger to Grant Beretta Holding the Ability to Nominate Up to Two Independent Board Members

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) (“Ruger” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered a Strategic Cooperation Agreement (“Agreement”) with Beretta Holding S.A. (“Beretta Holding”), the Company’s largest shareholder. The Agreement reflects a shared commitment to long-term value creation, constructive engagement, and stability for Ruger’s shareholders, employees, customers and industry partners.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Ruger is expected to allow Beretta Holding to increase its investment to up to 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The minimum partial tender offer price shall be $44.80 per share in cash – which represents a ~20% premium to the Company’s 60-day volume-weighted average share price prior to Beretta Holding’s tender offer announcement. Such tender offer has not yet commenced and will be subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

In connection with this increased investment, Beretta Holding will have the right to nominate up to two independent directors following the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and regulatory approval. At that time, the Company will temporarily expand the Board. The nominees will be subject to Ruger’s Nominating and Governance Committee process and qualification criteria.

As part of the agreement, Beretta Holding has committed to a three-year standstill, during which it will not, among other things, initiate or support any proxy contest or similar action. Over that period, Beretta Holding will also vote its shares in alignment with the Ruger Board’s recommendations on all matters (except in cases where leading independent proxy advisory firms, ISS or Glass Lewis, issue an adverse recommendation or in certain extraordinary transactions not involving Beretta Holding).

Additionally, Beretta Holding has withdrawn its director nominations for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and only Ruger Board-recommended candidates will be up for election at the meeting.

These provisions, together with other provisions in the Agreement, are designed to safeguard Ruger’s independence and stability while increasing alignment of Beretta Holding with all shareholder interests.

“This agreement is strategically valuable and will benefit all Ruger stakeholders,” said John Cosentino, Chairman of the Board of Ruger. “As a Board, our responsibility and duty is to act in the best interests of all shareholders. This agreement provides stability, avoids further expense and distraction, and creates a framework for productive engagement with Beretta Holding while preserving Ruger’s independence and governance standards.”

The Agreement is positive for Ruger and its shareholders and enables Ruger and Beretta Holding to explore avenues for commercial cooperation in a manner that complies with all applicable laws. Importantly, Ruger will remain an independent U.S. public company – preserving its brand, heritage and strategic direction – while benefiting from Beretta Holding’s admirable legacy and global industry leadership.

“We are pleased to have reached this Agreement with Ruger. This cooperation is fully aligned with the Group’s strategy to further strengthen our presence in the United States, a key market where we have been active for several decades, and it reflects our commitment to continued long-term development,” said Dott. Pietro Gussalli Beretta, Chairman and CEO of Beretta Holding. “We are eager to work with the Company toward our shared goal of strengthening execution and positioning Ruger for value creation.”

Further information regarding the Agreement, and a copy of the Agreement, will be made available in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Beretta Holding’s Counsel Sends Letter to Ruger Board Following the Rejection of Exemption from Shareholder Rights Plan

March 31, 2026 9:33 AM
Business Wire

Highlights That Board is More Concerned With Protecting Itself Than Positioning the Company for Future Success and Delivering Maximum Value for Shareholders

Believes Market’s Positive Reaction Should Have Made It Clear to the Board What Shareholders Want

Underscores Entrenched Legacy Board Members Maintain Control Despite Board “Refreshment” Strategy

Confirms Meeting of Principals on April 9^th in Continued Effort to Work Constructively Toward Resolution

Beretta Holding S.A. (“Beretta Holding” or “we”), a family-owned group leading the global premium light firearms, optics and ammunition industry and the largest shareholder of Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (“Ruger” or the “Company”), with 9.95% ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock, today sent a letter to Ruger’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in response to the Board’s letter, received on March 28, rejecting Beretta Holding’s exemption from the shareholder rights plan.

Beretta Holding remains disappointed and surprised by the incumbent Board’s behavior and continued resistance to an increased investment that would further align Beretta Holding with all shareholders. The tender offer was at a significant premium at purchase price of $44.80 per share in cash, representing a premium of approximately 20% to the 60-day volume-weighted average price ending on March 24, 2026. The Board has now stood in the way of its shareholders and their ability to decide for themselves.

We remain steadfast in our view that Beretta Holding’s investment and the potential for value creation through a strategic investment will be value creating for all shareholders. While we are willing to attend a meeting with a view to a constructive resolution, we remain skeptical of the Board’s intentions and will continue to explore all of our legal alternatives.

About Beretta Holding S.A.

With roots dating back to 1526, Beretta Holding is a global family-owned industrial group operating through more than 50 subsidiaries and over 20 internationally recognized brands, with a strong manufacturing footprint in Europe and the United States supporting defense, law enforcement, hunting and shooting sports markets.

(“Beretta Holding”) and/or one or more affiliates thereof will file a tender offer statement and related materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the Company will file a solicitation/recommendation statement with respect to such tender offer with the SEC.

STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT (INCLUDING THE RELATED EXHIBITS) AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT, AS THEY MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING TENDERING THEIR SHARES.

Sturm Ruger shares rise after Beretta proposes tender offer

March 25, 2026 10:23 AM
IH Market News

Shares of Sturm, Ruger & Company (NYSE:RGR) climbed about 5% on Wednesday after Beretta Holding S.A. revealed plans to launch a tender offer for up to 20.05% of the company’s shares at $44.80 per share. Ruger stock had closed Tuesday at $40.74.

The Italian firearms manufacturer said the proposal is part of a broader effort to obtain beneficial ownership of as much as 30% of Ruger’s outstanding shares through the tender offer. The offer price represents roughly a 20% premium to the stock’s 60-day average price.

Beretta has asked Ruger’s board to grant an exemption from the shareholder rights plan, or poison pill, that the company adopted on October 14, 2025. The tender offer would only move forward if the exemption is approved by March 31, 2026.

“We are not seeking control of Ruger,” Beretta General Manager Robert Eckert wrote in a letter addressed to Ruger’s board. “Our strong desire and hope was, and remains, to enter into a strategic collaboration with the Company.”

Beretta described itself as a potential strategic partner rather than a direct competitor, noting that its U.S. business is largely concentrated in shotguns, ammunition, and optics. The company said it currently employs nearly 700 people across nine U.S. entities.

The proposed tender offer follows what Beretta said were unsuccessful discussions with Ruger’s management concerning board composition and executive compensation. The company had previously put forward a minority slate of director nominees.

According to Beretta, Ruger’s board halted negotiations on March 16, prompting the decision to proceed with the tender offer. The firm emphasized that even if it reaches a 30% ownership stake, it would not amount to control or grant veto authority over corporate decisions.

Beretta Holding Responds to Ruger’s Blatantly False and Misleading Statements

March 10, 2026 12:30 PM
Business Wire

Did Not Seek “Control” of Ruger; Proposed a Strategic Minority Investment on Market Terms that Would Benefit All Shareholders

Highlights that Ruger’s Recent Board Changes Leave the Longstanding Sphere of Influence Around Board Leadership Largely Intact

Ruger’s Attempts to Suggest Potential Regulatory and National Security Issues Are Transparent Scare Tactics Aimed to Distract from the Board’s Oversight Failures

Disappointed the Board Chose to Egregiously Breach Confidentiality Agreement with Beretta Holding Rather than Continue Private Discussions to Finalize a Strategic Collaboration

Remains Committed to Reaching a Constructive Solution that Would Help Reverse Persistent Underperformance – Underscored by the Company’s Disappointing Full-Year Results

Beretta Holding S.A. (“Beretta Holding” or “we”), a family-owned group leading the global premium light firearms, optics and ammunition industry and the largest shareholder of Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (“Ruger” or the “Company”), with 9.95% ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock, today issued the following clarification to fellow shareholders of Ruger:

1. 
   From the outset, Beretta Holding’s objective has been collaborative engagement focused on how we can partner with Ruger to improve performance and deliver sustainable long-term value for all shareholders, employees and customers.
   
   
   
   
   • 
     All discussions with the Ruger Board of Directors (the “Board”) were conducted in confidence with the objective of reaching a negotiated settlement.
     
   
   
   • 
     During our confidential discussions with the Board, Beretta Holding opened a negotiation of potential structures to make a strategic minority investment in Ruger. The intention has always been to make an investment on market terms and in a manner that would benefit all shareholders.
     
   
   
   • 
     Such an investment would allow Ruger to draw on Beretta Holding’s five centuries of operating expertise in the global firearms sector to reverse its downward trajectory. This need for operational improvement is evident in Ruger’s deteriorating financial performance, with operating income declining by nearly $65 million over the last two years, from $52 million in 2023 to an operating loss of $12 million in 2025.
     
   
   
   • 
     Unfortunately, we have continuously been met with opposition from the Company, which has adopted a poison pill in response to our investment, insisted that we immediately enter into unusually restrictive standstill agreements before any meaningful discussions occurred and announced a reactive Board refresh amid active negotiations.
     
   
   
   • 
     In our view, this posture raises questions about the Board’s willingness to engage in good faith and suggests a preference for maintaining the status quo over meaningful shareholder engagement.
     
   
   
   
   
   


2. 
   Despite appointing three new members to its Board, the longstanding sphere of influence around Board leadership remains largely intact, leaving the overall balance of the Board effectively the same.
   
   
   
   
   • 
     The reality is that certain long-tenured directors continue to occupy key leadership positions on the Board. These directors, who have a combined 65 years of tenure, are the same individuals who oversaw the Company during a period of significant underperformance. Yet the recent “refresh” seemingly leaves them insulated from accountability while shareholders bear the consequences.
     
   
   
   • 
     The Board has further entrenched these directors through its newly adopted retirement policy, which imposes age and tenure limits only on new directors while explicitly carving out protections for existing leadership. Under this framework, incumbent directors may remain on the Board despite having more than two decades of service.
     
   
   
   • 
     This lack of accountability is particularly concerning given the Board’s compensation and track record. Between 2018 and 2025, these same directors collected more than $5.7 million in aggregate compensation while Ruger’s shares have returned -13.81%, underperforming the Russell 2000 by 71.96%.¹
     
     
     
   
   
   • 
     Even after the upcoming Annual Meeting reduces the Board to nine directors, Ruger will still maintain a larger board than peer Smith & Wesson Brands Inc.’s (“Smith & Wesson”) seven-member board, despite Smith & Wesson delivering stronger financial performance. In our view, Ruger’s unnecessarily large board structure further dilutes accountability.
     
   
   
   • 
     It is therefore ironic that the Board has falsely painted our efforts to increase our ownership and align ourselves with all shareholders as an attempt to take control, when the long-tenured directors have effectively maintained full boardroom control while owning such a de minimis position in the Company despite their decades-long tenure.
     
   
   
   
   
   


3. 
   Beretta Holding has nominated a minority slate of experienced nominees that are running as independent directors, and at no time did we suggest appointing our CEO to Ruger’s Board. Any implication that Beretta Holding proposed actions that would violate applicable rules or regulations is simply false.
   
   
   
   
   • 
     As Ruger’s largest shareholder, Beretta Holding discussed the possibility of minority board representation – hardly a disproportionate request. Any suggestion that Beretta Holding sought “control” of Ruger or proposed actions inconsistent with applicable antitrust or regulatory requirements are entirely false.
     
   
   
   • 
     Our primary objective is to restore proper alignment and strengthen oversight so that Ruger can maximize long-term value for shareholders, employees and customers.
     
   
   
   • 
     Our nominees bring deep capital allocation, operating, industry and corporate governance expertise and are prepared to introduce the disciplined oversight and fresh perspectives that we believe are urgently needed to help reverse shareholder value destruction and rebuild investor confidence.
     
   
   
   • 
     There is absolutely no reason our independent, highly qualified nominees could not have been considered as part of Ruger’s board “refresh.”
     
     
   
   
   
   
   

Beretta Holding is disappointed that Ruger has elected to egregiously violate its contractual obligations under its Confidentiality Agreement with us and share confidential discussions in an underhanded, distorted attempt to discredit Beretta Holding. During these confidential discussions, we consistently sought a constructive and collaborative resolution that would have benefited all shareholders without the need for a costly and distracting contested election. We remain open to a negotiated outcome and believe such a resolution would best serve Ruger and its shareholders.

Ruger Sets the Record Straight on Competitor Beretta’s Attempt to Seize Control of Ruger

March 9, 2026 9:30 AM
Business Wire

Beretta Sought to Buy Ruger Stock at a 15% Discount from Ruger in a Private Placement and to Obtain Disproportionate Board Representation and Voting Power that Would Give It Near-Veto Power Over Important Matters

Beretta’s Self-Serving Demands Included Appointing Its Own CEO to Ruger’s Board in Violation of U.S. Antitrust Laws

Ruger’s Board Has Sought to Engage Constructively with Beretta and Its Leadership and Has Traveled to Europe Multiple Times for Meetings with Beretta

When Ruger’s Board was Unable to Meet Beretta’s Demands, Beretta’s Leadership Threatened to Launch a “War” and Nominated Four Directors, Including One Who is on the Board of a Beretta Subsidiary

Ruger’s Board Will Continue to Protect Ruger’s Stockholders and All Ruger Stakeholders

On February 24, 2026, Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) (“Ruger” or the “Company”) received a notice from Beretta Holding S.A. (“Beretta”) stating Beretta’s intention to nominate four candidates for election to Ruger’s Board of Directors at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company, in consultation with its advisors, is reviewing the notice in accordance with Ruger’s established procedures and applicable law.

To date, Ruger has not publicly responded to Beretta’s characterization of Ruger’s actions and decisions. However, because of mischaracterizations and omissions in Beretta’s communications, Ruger feels it is necessary to set the record straight.

BERETTA FALSELY CLAIMS RUGER FAILED TO CONSTRUCTIVELY ENGAGE. IN FACT, BERETTA STEALTHILY ACCUMULATED A LARGE POSITION, REFUSED TO PAUSE STOCK PURCHASES PENDING NEGOTIATIONS AND THEN DEMANDED DISCOUNTED STOCK AND OUTSIZED GOVERNANCE RIGHTS.

• 
  Ruger first became aware of Beretta’s interest in Ruger on September 22, 2025, when Beretta filed a Schedule 13D reporting an approximately 7.7% stake in Ruger. Beretta did not contact Ruger before or in connection with that filing. The 13D stated that Beretta had no “present intention” to take control of Ruger.
  
  


• 
  In the days and weeks that followed, Ruger representatives reached out to Beretta and offered to meet with Beretta repeatedly and asked that Beretta pause its share accumulation pending discussions.
  
  


• 
  Beretta refused to pause its accumulation and so, on October 14, 2025, the Ruger Board adopted a short-term stockholder rights plan to protect the interests of all Ruger stockholders from Beretta’s ongoing creeping takeover.
  
  


• 
  In the following weeks, Beretta declined Ruger’s invitations for in-person principal-to-principal meetings, while sending a series of aggressive letters through counsel.
  
  


• 
  Eventually, following outreach from the Ruger Chair, a meeting was held in Paris on December 15, 2025. At that meeting, Beretta’s Chair indicated a long-term plan to combine Ruger with Beretta but made no formal proposal. Beretta’s Chair also indicated that he had no interest in the status quo and that he would find a way to increase his position if Ruger remained resistant.
  
  


• 
  Representatives of the parties met again in Luxembourg in February 2026 and traded several proposals but were unable to reach an agreement.
  
  

BERETTA REPEATEDLY DEMANDED TERMS THAT WOULD TRANSFER VALUE FROM OTHER RUGER STOCKHOLDERS TO BERETTA AND UNDERMINE RUGER’S STATUS AS AN INDEPENDENT PUBLIC COMPANY.

• 
  Following the Luxembourg meeting, Ruger made multiple good-faith and constructive proposals to Beretta that were designed to avoid a costly and distracting proxy contest and allow the Company to remain focused on executing its strategy. These proposals were carefully structured to preserve Ruger’s independence as a public company and ensure compliance with applicable antitrust and national security laws. The proposals would have permitted Beretta to:
  
  
  
  • 
    increase its ownership position up to a cap;
    
    
  
  
  • 
    designate directors; and
    
    
  
  
  • 
    explore opportunities for true commercial collaboration with Ruger.
    
    
  
  
  
  
  


• 
  In contrast, Beretta repeatedly advanced extreme demands and threatened to “go to war” if those demands were not met.
  
  
  
  • 
    Beretta demanded multiple times that Ruger issue additional shares to Beretta at a 15% discount, which would have diluted existing stockholders and transferred value to Beretta at stockholder expense.
    
    
  
  
  • 
    Beretta demanded 25% of Ruger and the right to vote those shares in their own self-interest.
    
    
  
  
  • 
    Beretta, a competitor of Ruger, demanded that it receive disproportionate representation on the Board, and sought to appoint a member of the Beretta management team to Ruger’s Board, which would violate U.S. antitrust laws.
    
    
  
  
  • 
    The board seats and ownership level Beretta demanded would trigger mandatory CFIUS review, implicating sensitive national security issues.
    
    
  
  
  • 
    Beretta demanded that Ruger dismantle its stockholder rights plan and refused to agree to a customary standstill.
    
    
  
  
  
  
  


• 
  Ruger communicated to Beretta that its demands were inconsistent with U.S. corporate governance best practices and applicable law.
  
  

BERETTA FALSELY CLAIMS THAT RUGER’S BOARD REFRESHMENT WAS “REACTIVE”. IN FACT, THIS REFRESHMENT PROCESS HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE PRIOR TO BERETTA’S INVESTMENT AND RUGER DELAYED FINALIZING THE REFRESHMENT IN A GOOD-FAITH EFFORT TO REACH A RESOLUTION WITH BERETTA.

• 
  On February 23, 2026, Ruger announced the appointment of three new directors to its Board, following the retirement of three former Board Members.
  
  
  
  • 
    Combined with the earlier appointments of CEO Todd Seyfert and industry veteran Bruce Pettet, five directors have joined the Ruger Board within the past year through rigorous and well-established governance processes.
    
    
  
  
  • 
    This substantial refreshment of Ruger’s Board began before Beretta’s investment in the Company became known and underscores Ruger’s proactive approach to Board composition and its commitment to maintaining the operational rigor and strategic focus required to compete and win for the benefit of all stockholders.
    
    
  
  
  • 
    Beretta’s criticism of the tenure of members of Ruger’s Board is surprising given that its own board has directors that have served the Beretta group since the 1990s.
    
    
  
  
  
  
  


• 
  These actions stand in sharp contrast to Beretta’s disruptive and coercive campaign that seeks to undermine the governance norms and processes that protect public investors.
  
  


• 
  Beretta’s actions are not those of a stockholder who is trying to improve Ruger in the interests of all stockholders.
  
  


• 
  One of the individuals nominated by Beretta as an “independent” director serves as a director of a subsidiary of Beretta.
  
  

Ruger’s Board and management team remain firmly committed to their fiduciary duties to all Ruger stockholders.

While Ruger remains ready and willing to engage constructively with Beretta for the benefit of all stockholders, the Board is committed to continuing to act decisively to protect Ruger’s other stockholders from Beretta's aggressive campaign to seize control on unfair terms. Ruger will continue to communicate with all Ruger stakeholders as this situation develops.

Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.08 Per Share

  The Company achieved fourth quarter net sales of $151.1 million, a 3.6% increase over the $145.8 million achieved in the corresponding period in 2024.
  
  


• 
  For the fourth quarter, Ruger saw diluted earnings of $0.21 per share compared to $0.62 per share in the corresponding period in 2024.
  
  


• 
  On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $0.26 per share.

  The Company achieved full-year net sales of $546.1 million, a 1.9% increase over the $535.6 million achieved in the corresponding period in 2024.
  
  


• 
  For the full-year, Ruger lost $0.27 per share in 2025 compared to diluted earnings of $1.77 per share in the corresponding period in 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.84 in 2025 and $1.86 in 2024.
  
  

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.08 per share for the fourth quarter for stockholders of record as of March 16, 2026, payable on March 31, 2026. This dividend equates to approximately 40% of net income.

“We are encouraged by our fourth quarter and full-year results, with revenues exceeding the same periods last year despite a challenging consumer environment. This performance reflects the strength of our product strategy and our continued focus on innovation,” said Todd Seyfert, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the fourth quarter, we launched 65 new models, including three new platforms – the Glenfield by Ruger rifle, the Red Label III shotgun and the Harrier rifle – all of which are seeing strong consumer demand. Along with the continued expansion of Marlin rifles, the American Rifle Gen II family and the RXM lineup, our product pipeline is delivering as planned and enabling Ruger to outperform the broader market.”

Additional Highlights

• 
  The estimated sell-through of the Company’s products from the independent distributors to retailers in 2025 increased by 4.5% from 2024, despite a 4.1% decrease in adjusted NICS during the same period.
  
  


• 
  Sales of new products, including the RXM pistol, Marlin lever-action rifles and American Centerfire Rifle Generation II, represented $173 million, or 33%, of firearm sales in 2025. New product sales include only major new products that were introduced in the past two years.
  
  


• 
  In 2025, the Company’s finished goods inventories decreased 47,700 units from the elimination of the models that were rationalized in the second quarter, while distributors’ inventories decreased 33,500 units reflecting strong retail pull through of our new products.
  
  


• 
  For 2025, cash generated from operations totaled $54.3 million. As of December 31, 2025, Ruger’s cash and short-term investments totaled $92.5 million. The Company’s current ratio is 3.9 to 1 and there is no debt.
  
  


• 
  In 2025, capital expenditures totaled $30.9 million, including $15.0 million for the Anderson acquisition in Hebron, KY.
  
  


• 
  In 2025, the Company returned $36.1 million to its shareholders through the payment of $10.1 million in quarterly dividends and $26.0 million through the repurchase of 733,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $35.60 per share.
  
  

“While our product momentum and demand remain strong, we must stay focused on improving our bottom-line performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding its results, the Company refers to various United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures and three non-GAAP financial measures, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”), which management believes provides useful information to investors. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. In addition, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying business, as EBITDA provides information on the Company’s ability to meet its capital expenditure and working capital requirements, and is also an indicator of profitability. The Company believes that this reporting provides better transparency and comparability to its operating results. The Company believes that Adjusted EPS is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying business by identifying unusual and infrequent non-operating items that are not related to our ongoing operations and presenting our earnings per share independent of those items. The Company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its financial performance.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation – EBITDA and EBITDA Margin
EBITDA
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands)
Year ended December 31,			2025				2024
Net income		$	(4,391	)		$	30,563

EBITDA		$	29,547			$	55,055
EBITDA margin			5.4	%			10.3	%
Net income margin			(0.8	)%			5.7	%

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates this by adding the amount of interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expenses that have been deducted from net income back into net income, and subtracting the amount of interest income that was included in net income from net income to arrive at EBITDA. The Company’s EBITDA calculation also excludes certain one-time non-cash, non-operating expenses.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation – Adjusted EPS

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as (i) net income, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, significant charges or credits, and unusual and infrequent non-operating items that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations, such as M&A, integration and related costs, divided by (ii) the weighted average diluted common stock shares outstanding.

Testing 2013 support levels

[ChuckD-MSB]

First earnings miss in a while, will reload on this one if it dips a little more.

[rcaptain]

Stuck shorty?

[short_term]

When NICS data goes down, gun sales are sure to follow. I would not be comfortable as a buyer at these levels. Time to sell short IMO. All the insider selling is not comforting either.

"Earlier this week, analysts at KeyBanc pointed out that NICS data on handgun background checks run by the FBI in December (indicative of handgun purchase activity in the U.S.) was down 32.5% year over year against December 2012. That means that as a whole, Q4 background checks were down about 19.4% year over year. Even worse, KeyBanc noted that it seems to be seeing "a heightened promotional environment (the likes of which have not been seen for several quarters now)" among gun sellers. This, in turn, suggests that profit margins on the few guns that were sold last quarter may not have been all that great."

[ChuckD-MSB]

I hear ya, I sold my Jan $60.50 calls a couple of weeks ago, I doubled my money but left over 15 grand on the table.

[Ichauway]

And now wish I had held my shares.

[ChuckD-MSB]

Healthy beat on both lines for Sturm Ruger (RGR): Q3 EPS of $1.44 beats by $0.23. Revenue of $170.9M beats by $16M

RGR last 9 months: sales +45%, EPS +65% YoY

[ChuckD-MSB]

Sold calls today at $9.80 an easy double.

[ChuckD-MSB]

Just bought 10 more Jan $60.50 calls at $4.90 got 17 total calls now.

[ChuckD-MSB]

Not sure why the dip today, I'm taking the opportunity to load up on call options.

[ChuckD-MSB]

Sold my 7 contracts at $6 today from $4.20 nice little gain, hope to reload again before earnings.

[ChuckD-MSB]

Added a couple more calls this morning at 3.50, got 7 now ave. at $4.20

[ChuckD-MSB]

Wow, got those just in time apparently, up 400 bucks in just a few minutes, wish I had bought more. LOL

[ChuckD-MSB]

Bought the Nov $60 calls today at $4.50 5 contracts

Earnings Oct 28th, 32% short interest 19 days to cover and I think most all of them have to be underwater at the moment. Another good earnings report and I think it goes to $70 pretty easy.
