From Jun 2024 to Dec 2024
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) announced today that for the second quarter of 2024, net sales were $130.8 million and diluted earnings were 47¢ per share. For the corresponding period in 2023, net sales were $142.8 million and diluted earnings were 91¢ per share.
For the six months ended June 29, 2024, net sales were $267.6 million and diluted earnings were 87¢ per share. For the corresponding period in 2023, net sales were $292.3 million and diluted earnings were $1.72 per share.
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of 19¢ per share for the second quarter for stockholders of record as of August 15, 2024, payable on August 30, 2024. This dividend varies every quarter because the Company pays a percentage of earnings rather than a fixed amount per share. This dividend is approximately 40% of net income.
Chief Executive Officer Christopher J. Killoy commented on the second quarter of 2024, “Although consumer demand in the firearms market declined from the second quarter of last year, the estimated sell-through of our products from our independent distributors to retailers bucked this trend and increased during the same period. This growth was primarily driven by the demand for many of our recently introduced products, including:
Further, the industry has recognized many of these innovative products with awards and accolades, including the recently announced Industry Choice Awards for:
We look forward to adding to this success with an exciting new product and more product derivatives that we plan to launch in the second half of the year.”
Mr. Killoy continued, “Earlier this year, we reorganized some aspects of our business and implemented a reduction in force to achieve greater efficiency, productivity, and flexibility throughout our organization. We are starting to realize the benefits of these actions. Despite a reduction in headcount, second quarter production increased 18% from the first quarter. We expect further improvements from the initiatives we are currently pursuing and we continue to look for additional opportunities to reduce or eliminate inefficiencies in every part of our business.”
Mr. Killoy concluded, “We remain focused on the long-term goal of creating shareholder value. Our disciplined pricing and promotion strategy may not always benefit current period sales and profitability, but instead enhances our long-term performance and promotes consistency throughout the distribution channel. Allowing both independent distributors and retailers to confidently invest in our inventory is essential to Ruger’s long-term success and leadership in the volatile firearms market. We continue to leverage our strong, debt-free balance sheet. In the first half of 2024, we repurchased 477,917 shares of our stock at an average cost of $42.41 per share, representing approximately 3% of our outstanding shares.”
Mr. Killoy made the following observations related to the Company’s second quarter 2024 performance:
Today, the Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2024. The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are attached to this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding its financial results, the Company refers to various United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures and two non-GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and EBITDA margin, which management believes provides useful information to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled financial 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 uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial performance.
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 calculates EBITDA margin by dividing EBITDA by total net sales.
