GrabAGun Digital Holdings Reports First Quarter 2026 Results
First Quarter Revenues Increased 11.1% to $25.9 million
Firearms Sales Increased 10.5%, Well Ahead of the 1.6% Increase in Adjusted NICS Background Checks
Launched PEW Logistics; Investing in Logistics Infrastructure to Drive Next Phase of Growth with Two Manufacturing Partners Onboard to Date
COPPELL, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GrabAGun Digital Holdings Inc. ("GrabAGun" or the "Company") (NYSE:PEW), an online retailer of firearms, ammunition and related accessories, today reported first quarter 2026 financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Marc Nemati, Chief Executive Officer of GrabAGun, commented, "We delivered a solid start to fiscal 2026 with firearms sales increasing 10.5% year-over-year, well above the 1.6% increase in Adjusted NICS background checks1 during the first quarter. These results reflect continued market share gains as well as the strength of our technology-driven platform and the loyalty of our growing customer base.
"Importantly, we launched PEW Logistics, our white-label direct-to-consumer fulfillment solution for firearms manufacturers, in January 2026. This marked a major milestone in GrabAGun's journey as we continue to expand our B2B offerings and open new revenue streams for the Company. We are proud of the early success we have seen with partners Derya Arms and KelTec® Weapons which have validated PEW Logistics' value proposition and look forward to continuing to grow this business alongside our direct-to-consumer platform. Looking ahead, we remain well-positioned to execute on our growth strategy with over $106 million in cash, minimal debt, and a proven track record of outperforming and leading innovation in our industry.
"The ATF has proposed amendments that could allow remote firearm transfers with secure identity verification and direct-to-home delivery under an approved framework, and we believe GrabAGun is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this potential opportunity. For over 15 years, we have invested in building the digital infrastructure, compliance systems and regulatory expertise required to operate in this complex regulatory environment at scale. Few companies have spent that long building the operational foundation that this kind of regulatory evolution would demand."

Non-GAAP Financial Information
We utilize Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP financial measures, to supplement GAAP measures of performance as a tool to evaluate our historical financial and operational performance, identify trends affecting our business, and formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides users of our financial information with useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying continuing operating performance by excluding the impact of interest income, net, income tax, and non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization, stock compensation, and certain non-recurring costs, as management does not believe these to be representative of our core earnings. We also provide Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
The non-GAAP financial measures have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Adjusted EBITDA is not a liquidity measure and should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or to distribute to shareholders or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest income, net, income tax, and non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and certain non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
The following table reconciles our GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except percentages):

1Adjusted NICS background checks refer to data from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) that has been modified by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) to exclude checks related to concealed carry permits and permit rechecks. This adjusted data is often used to provide a clearer picture of the firearms market, as the NICS system includes a significant number of checks for permit applications that do not directly correspond to a new firearm sale. |

2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the supplementary schedules in this press release for a discussion of how the Company defines and calculates this measure and a reconciliation thereof to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure. |
