“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. As I outlined last year, increasing profitability, aligning our manufacturing footprint with demand and right-sizing the business for the future are not optional – they are essential,” Seyfert added. “Over the past year, we have begun taking decisive actions to better balance capacity, control costs and position Ruger for long-term success. As we start 2026 our team continues to be focused on executing the plan, continuing to improve our cost structure and investing in the products and capabilities that will enable our growth and performance in the future.”
