“Fiscal 2022 was a transformational year for AMMO, as we more than tripled our sales of ammunition while becoming the world’s largest online marketplace for firearms through our acquisition of GunBroker.com.” commented AMMO Chairman and CEO Fred Wagenhals. “As impressive as this past year has been, we believe the opportunities in front of us are significant, both with the opening of our new manufacturing facility in July and several new revenue initiatives in our Marketplace business.
“For perspective, AMMO delivered 400 million rounds of loaded ammunition in 2022, which has pushed us to capacity at our current facility.

- Introduction of new lines of ammunition that historically carry higher margins in the consumer and government sectors;
- Reduced component costs through operation of our ammunition segment and expansion of strategic relationships with component providers;
- Expanded use of automation equipment that reduces the total labor required to assemble finished products
- And better leverage of our fixed costs through expanded production to support the sales objectives.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We analyze operational and financial data to evaluate our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total net sales, net loss, and other results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the following information includes key operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our business. We believe these measures are useful for period-to-period comparisons of the Company. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they are key measures we use to evaluate our operational performance, produce future strategies for our operations, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of our resources. Accordingly, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
