Outdoor Holding Company, the Nasdaq-listed owner of GunBroker.com, reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 results on August 10 that beat analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings, with suppressor marketplace volume emerging as the standout growth driver. The company (Nasdaq: POWW) recorded net revenues of $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 — a 22.1 percent gain from $11.9 million in the same period a year earlier and the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue improvement.
Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $7.9 million, operating income improved by more than $9 million, and operating cash flow strengthened by $11.1 million year over year. Gross profit rose 18.5 percent to $12.2 million from $10.3 million. The company posted earnings of $0.02 per share against a consensus analyst estimate of a $0.01 loss, and shares climbed approximately 23 percent on the day of the announcement.
Chairman and CEO Steve Urvan, who assumed leadership of the company in May 2025, credited the platform's streamlined structure. "This quarter demonstrates the earnings power of a leaner, more focused GunBroker and the value of disciplined execution," Urvan said in the earnings release. The company reported that traffic, conversion rates, average order value, and firearm unit sales all increased during the quarter, with GunBroker gaining share relative to adjusted NICS background check activity.
The suppressor and suppressed-firearms category was the headline number: gross merchandise volume in that segment rose approximately 71 percent year over year. The spike maps directly to the elimination of the NFA's $200 suppressor transfer tax, which took effect January 1, 2026, under the One Big Beautiful Bill. First-time suppressor buyers who previously hesitated at the tax and registration friction have flooded the marketplace since the tax went to zero, and GunBroker's NFA-capable platform has been positioned to capture that wave. The company's take rate expanded 21 basis points to 6.47 percent, with 39 basis points of improvement attributed to a new FFL transfer-revenue line the company has introduced.
Management framed the GunBroker business as still early in its monetization runway, particularly in NFA categories where demand is structurally higher than before the tax change. The next milestone for investors will be how the platform absorbs the ongoing litigation around NFA registration requirements for suppressors and SBRs, where a Texas district court ruling issued August 5 could further reshape the regulatory backdrop for the suppressor market.
