Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. Reports First Quarter Diluted Earnings of 81¢ Per Share and Declares Quarterly Dividend of 32¢ Per Share

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) announced today that for the first quarter of 2023, net sales were $149.5 million and diluted earnings were 81¢ per share. For the corresponding period in 2022, net sales were $166.6 million and diluted earnings were $1.70 per share.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of 32¢ per share for the first quarter for stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023, payable on May 31, 2023. 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 first quarter of 2023, “Decreased consumer demand led to a 10% reduction in first quarter sales compared to the prior year. We took a disciplined approach, targeted a production mix that better aligned with consumer demand, and continued to responsibly manage our overall production levels to reflect market conditions as we did throughout 2022. This is evidenced by the slight reduction in both our finished goods inventory and the inventory of our products at distributors, which sets us on a solid path for the remainder of the year.”

Mr. Killoy reiterated the Company’s steadfast commitment to its disciplined approach, “Our long-term focus will continue to yield strong cash flow, prioritize the development of innovative new products, and safeguard our robust, debt-free balance sheet, which in turn will allow us to withstand the volatility of the ever-changing firearms market.” Read more
