Smith & Wesson Posts Insane Earnings, Revenues Skyrocket

The past couple of years have been alright for famed gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson but 2012 has been exceptionally kind.

“Gross profit for the first quarter was $51.3 million, or 37.7% of net sales, compared with gross profit of $26.5 million, or 28.9% of net sales, for the comparable quarter last year [emphasis added],” the company said in its press release.

And it doesn’t end there.

“The company earned 27 cents vs. expectations of 18 cents,” Business Insider’s Joe Weisenthal writes. “Revenue was $136 million vs. estimates of just over $128.7 million.”

The company also expects earnings of 19 to 21 cents in the next quarter, which, as Weisenthal notes, is way above earlier estimates of 13 cents.

But let’s try to visualize this information:

And what about the company’s revenues?

Courtesy Zero Hedge

“[W]hen the final bubble does pop (and here we make the wild assumption that no intelligent extraterrestrial life will be found to bail out the central banks in time), at least everyone will be locked and loaded,” Zero Hedge notes.

Here are some key takeaways from the company’s most recent investor presentation [via Zero Hedge]:

  • Record-level quarterly sales growth from continuing ops of $136.0M, +48.3% Y/Y
  • Record-level quarterly income from continuing ops of $18.9M, or $0.28 per diluted share
  • Raised Full Year Fiscal 2013 Financial Guidance
  • Exceeded high end of upwardly revised sales guidance
  • Backlog of $392.4M versus $148.8 one year ago

Simply put, and as the above chart clearly demonstrates, demand for the company’s products has grown exponentially over the past two years and it doesn’t look like it will slow down any time soon.

“Smith & Wesson rose $1.07, or 12 percent, to $10.07 on surging gun sales and a raised profit forecast,” the Associated Press reported Friday. “The gun company said it expects earnings for the quarter ending October to climb to as much as twice what analysts had expected.”

      For all the “shared prosperity” lefties out there, you can buy stock in successful companies like SWHC. That is far better than waiting for BHO’s govt handout. You could even take advantage of the capital gains tax incentive that is available to EVERYONE. Same set of rules for everyone is already there!

      I used to be in the Glock camp, hardcore. That is until I got a hold of a M&P 9c. It’s still easier to break down a Glock, but in my opinion the feel of the entire M&P series while actually firing the weapon is superior. As far as accuracy goes, there wasn’t any difference for me. The M&P simply felt right from the very moment I fingered it at the counter. I’m personally in the M&P camp now, but I still recommend either one to anyone who asks which way to buy.

      I guess what the point of the comment is that it’s good to see S&W is reaping the benefits of a fine product. God Bless America.

      If I didn’t live in New Jersey my wife, my daughter and I would own one of those Smith and Wesson’s. But if we are caught standing in a Path Mart, caught sitting in a movie theater, or in our home when an armed criminal aims at us, we will just remain calm, shut our eyes and wait to be killed. Its the new white patriotic thing to do.

      Unfortunately there’s a paper trail for each one of those newly purchased guns leading the Feds right to each buyer’s doorstep.

      If you have any guns acquired or owned prior to the beginning of the paperwork requirements that began in the early 80′s you might want to consider keeping them in a separate place so one raid by our “protectors” at the ATF won’t confiscate them all. Ammunition as well.

      And, pray tell, what was Fast And Furious supposed to be?

      Mind you, since there was no tracking equipment installed in the weapons, no active attempts to follow the smugglers, and no cooperation with the Mex authorities, saying F&F was supposed to be a smuggling sting is a no-go. You can’t sting a tango you are not tracking in any recognizable fashion.

    I urge most everyone I know to get a gun, but ONLY after they’ve dedicated themselves to the point where they’ll take it seriously, and get properly trained and get/stay proficient. It’s more than just owning one, it’s knowing how to properly take care of it and safely/effectively employ it. I also tell people they should get their CCW, even if they never plan on carrying–the higher those licensee numbers, the stronger 2A.

    Get armed. Get and stay proficient. BE SAFE!

      While I agree with your sentiment, I disagree with what you have said. Specifically about CCW permits. I do not see any reason or justification for government to legislate when and where I have and can practice my natural right of self defense. There is no need for ccw’s as there should be no need for any gun law period. The only laws that need exist are those that make it illegal for one person to physically intervene in another person’s life through force or coercion. This includes all violent crimes, thefts, and gov’t intrusion against the Citizen.

      Now, I already know that many believe that we must incrementally take steps to regain our sovereignty and our Liberty; however, I am not of that opinion. If we keep capitulating and agreeing to appeasement after appeasment, we will as a citizenry, lose focus and become complacent in our march towards our goals. You see, our side cannot win a battle like this because the ever increasing stack of laws and bureaucracy will not cease to grow. Only when we destroy the ability of gov’t to grow incrementally could we ever win such a battle.

      And so I suggest an amendment to our Constitution that purges all federal laws, bills, executive orders, or anything not in our Constitution (including its’ amendments) from the records every 20 years. This would curtail the ever increasing size of gov’t and only those laws deemed necessary and proper every generation would remain.

      Unless your home is hardened, you won’t last an hour in a typical suburban home when faced with combat trained and experienced soldiers armed with military grade weapons, fighting vehicles and Apaches.

      The Apaches would lay down surpressing fire to keep you in your home. A static target is easier to eliminate. A couple of LAWs would turn a typical suburban home into a pile of splinters and on fire from a natural gas or propane explosion. If that doesn’t kill you, you will probably retreat to the basement which is a natural kill zone. A couple of frags would end the fight.

      Last year I was an advocate of making a stand in my home. We will probably stay if the threat is roving gangs. If it is military, we will execute our bug out plan.

    There is a model that I want that goes as quickly as they can produce it. I don’t even know how far out they are back-ordered. I was vacillating between S&W or Glock and decided on the American icon.

      I sold both my Glock 26 and Glock 30. Glocks are over-hyped for average quality guns. If I wanted a revolver, then it’s S&W. Everything else go HK.

    I will keep my singer 1911a2 both of them. S&W does make a fine weapon though.

      I wish I hadn’t sold my S&W 1911. I had a commander length model with the Scandium frame and Crimson Trace grips. I really like the weight and feel of that Scandium frame.

    Something just dawned on me: I now understand why liberals don’t like companies making profits. The companies themselves refer to profit as “gross profit”, and since we all know that “gross” means “glaringly noticeable usually because of inexcusable badness or objectionableness” (Merriam-Webster).

    Therefore, gross profits are disgusting, and the government should put an immediate stop to them.

    Conservatives, on the other hand, look at another definition of gross from Merriam-Webster: “consisting of an overall total exclusive of deductions”, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Or, in other words, the money you make after you give the required portion to your bank and the various government vultures (ahem, agencies).

    So conservatives consider gross profit as your money left over after you pay all of your bills and taxes, and liberals consider gross profit as a disgusting thing that must be taken by the government and distributed to non-disgusting causes (y’know, like birth control).

    Just a thought.

      Accountancy humor. I don’t know why I majored in it in college because in the real world being an Accountant is so mind-numbingly boring. It gives you a sneak peek into what Hell is like, which is why it’s time to get out!!!

      Since I own stock in S&W I like their gross profit, I use some of that profit to buy more guns & shells & reloaders. Everytime more Liberals/Progressives become Eco-terrorists, OWLs, and Bio-terrorists I get more money from S&W; for some reason sales go up wonder why? Also I THANK Obama for his support of this industry since it took off under his term in office, Thx Obama!

    Do liberals buy guns? Liberals generally don’t serve in the military so they haven’t really had any first hand experience or training with guns. Looks to me like when the time comes, Liberals are going to be in a very bad way. They’ll probably use their children as human shields. Sounds like a win win situation to me.

      Bobaz, liberals tend to have few kids — if any at all. They like to get into positions of influence (e.g., school teachers) so that they can convert many kids to liberalism.

      gun-owning liberals are also called gangs. yes they have guns. the effeminate white democrat ‘males’ and their shemales do have guns too. not as many as us, but they do have guns with maybe 1 bullet in the house. frightening to think some ghetto or illegal gangbanger or limpwristed communist is going to aiming to slaughter our pro-American children.

      about that ‘barney fife with 1 bullet’ those communists [formerly called democrats] keep with their guns…. FYI: obama bought them 1.6 BILLION rounds of organ-dissolving hollow points, so now we know what we would be up against. we seriously doubt obama plans for ANY white Americans to be left standing. who else WORKS AND PAYS TAXES, so how else can he destroy America TOTALLY.

      When people are starving, what can you get food with, Lead Bullets, or gold. In that time, gold is only good if you melt it down for bullets.

      I love my S&W 9mm, shoots straight and very dependable, it has never jammed.

    When I went and bought my personal protection weapon, have sport weapons already. There were 6 people behind me all saying the same thing or that this was their first gun. They all had uncertainty of what the future may bring. And that was 2 hrs in one shop in one day, now think about that all over America. I wonder what BHO would say about that.

      I was in a gun shop when an elderly lady was picking up her first firearm. It was a 38 snubby. She was pretty nervous and the shop owner was giving her directions to the range for the gun handling class that she had also signed up for.

      When in Vegas I went to a gun store to fire a Thompson and a MP-40. There was an elderly woman there who was enthusiastically picking up her 2nd handgun. She was telling the clerk about how nervous she was when she bought her first pistol then she took a class and put in some range time, and now she wanted something with a little more knock down power. I was tempted to pat her on the back and say “good for you”.

      What it appears Barry Soetoro has done, mostly by illegal aliens attempting to acquire a new identity in the U.S. and/or criminals looking to acquire a new ID.

      Barry, AKA Obama, was lawfully adopted by a foreign national, Lolo Soetoro, and Barry’s name was legally changed to “Barry Soetoro” (Barry’s own admission). Barry Soetoro was also made an official legal Indonesian citizen (again Barry’s own admission). The adoption would be noted in Barry’s vital statistics record in Hawaii on his original birth certificate OR Lolo Soetoro may have always been Barry’s legal birth father.

      The public does not know for sure at this point who Barry’s father really was and Barry himself may not know.

      Barry was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia and attended a Catholic funded school that permitted all faiths to attend. Barry’s mother dropped him as a dependent for some reason, maybe when Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro.

      His mother’s passport records dropped Barry as a dependent indicating Barry was no longer a legal dependent of his mother. (The passport records of his mother have been produced showing Barry was no longer a dependent when Barry was permanently residing in Indonesia.) Barry went to Hawaii to live with his alleged grandparents after Lolo Soetoro and Barry’s mother divorced.

      A “certificate of live birth” (NOT the original “long form”) can have names changed on it including a child’s birth name, and birth parent’s names. Even a modified d
