NEBO Presents the New IllumaTrace Blood Tracker
Fort Worth, Texas (Oct. 24, 2023) – With so much time and effort invested into a big game hunting trek, it comes with little certainty of success. There can be no more frustrating scenario than taking a shot and being unable to harvest the trophy due to receding light and a dwindling blood trail.
NEBO’s latest offering, the IllumaTrace Blood Tracker Flashlight, is a game changer. The IllumaTrace employs revolutionary technology to illuminate blood through an alternating strobe effect that vivifies and dulls blood for easy identification on various backgrounds and terrains.
The IllumaTrace Blood Tracker features dual light modes to allow the user to transition between white light to illuminate the path or choose three blood-tracking strobe rate modes to work in several environments or ambient conditions. The Blood Tracker mode provides an alternating “vivifying” and “fulling” mode to cast a light that enhances or dulls red items based on the LEDs used.
With a range of up to 292 feet, the IllumaTrace Blood Tracker provides the visibility needed in open or dense wood terrain to track blood trails successfully. It is impact-resistant, lightweight, and USB-C rechargeable. With a run time of up to 2 hours and 30 minutes in white light mode, and 3 hours in strobe mode, it provides hours of illumination and tracking capability on a single charge.
Made from anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, the IllumaTrace Blood Tracker has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and the finish is scratch and corrosion-resistant, making it extremely durable and strong while still being lightweight, weighing less than a pound. It is waterproof in up to one meter of fresh water for 30 minutes, so it can be called upon even when an unexpected rainstorm rolls in.
The NEBO IllumaTrace Blood Tracker Flashlight is an essential tool every hunter should have in their pack.

Choi brings more than 15 years of diversified legal experience and expertise to Revelyst, including roles at publicly traded companies and in private practice. She most recently served as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for Boxed, Inc., the New York-based e-commerce grocery platform that sells bulk consumables and licenses its e-commerce software to enterprise retailers. Before Boxed, Choi held senior counsel roles for Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and was an associate for the Capital Markets & Corporate Group in the New York and Hong Kong offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP.
“Bringing Jung on board is an important milestone for Revelyst,” said Eric Nyman, CEO of Revelyst. “In addition to her legal proficiency and professionalism, Jung’s most recent experience working with a publicly traded e-commerce platform at Boxed is perfectly aligned with our goal of building a consumer-first, digital culture that helps people achieve their greatest outdoor aspirations. Her appointment will serve us well and guide us as we begin our journey to becoming the greatest house of brands in the outdoor industry.”
Choi is the newest member of the Revelyst management team, joining Nyman, who became CEO in August, and Andy Keegan, whose appointment to CFO was announced last week. Choi, who holds a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and a Juris Doctorate from Georgetown University, will oversee legal and compliance functions first for Vista Outdoor’s Outdoor Products segment and then for Revelyst post-separation.
“I’m honored to be appointed General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for Revelyst, particularly at this pivotal time as we transform it into a standalone public company,” said Choi. “It’s a unique opportunity to join a company with incredible brand recognition, a differentiated value proposition and a purpose-driven, people-first culture. I was drawn to Revelyst’s mission of bringing people together over a shared love for the outdoors, combined with its demonstrable passion for innovation to drive growth at scale. I look forward to joining Eric and the team on the exciting journey to unlock Revelyst’s bright future.”

SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO-M17 Receives NSN Designation
NEWINGTON, N.H., (October 19, 2023) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is honored to announce the ROMEO-M17 (RM17) red dot sight has been assigned a NATO Stock Number (NSN). This distinguished designation is part of the continued modernization efforts of the Modular Handgun System (MHS) Program. For inclusion on the MHS Additional Authorized List (AAL), the U.S. Army evaluated numerous pistol red dot sights, from multiple manufacturers, through vigorous environmental and performance evaluations and the RM17 and R2 achieved successful selection. In fact, the RM17 stood above the rest as the best performing and most durable sight evaluated. The issuance of the NSN to these products streamlines the procurement process for all NATO members and partner countries as an identified standardized material.
The ROMEO-M17 (NSN: 1240-01-713-9795) was developed from the ground up for the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System and is the ultimate aiming solution. The RM17 will withstand the rigors of the battlefield, featuring the proprietary SIG-LOC™ mounting system with bottom-mount technology and 5 interface points with the pistol slide, for an extremely strong and robust lock-up. Combined with the side-mounted battery the sight has an extremely low position when mounted to the slide, offering a full sight picture and co-witness with the existing standard-height iron sights.
“The assignment of an NSN number is an exciting achievement for SIG SAUER Electro-Optics and the ROMEO product line. With the global demand for these products the NSN assignment will allow for ease in the procurement process, the ability to increase our reach within the NATO countries, and faster deployment” said Andy York, President, SIG SAUER Electro-Optics. “This assignment is also significant to non-NATO customers and civilians as the NSN designation does not come easily and signifies that the ROMEO-M17 has achieved a testing and use acceptance by the world’s most discerning military customers.”
The SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO-M17 is a mil-spec, fully enclosed and gas-purged red dot reflex sight with a distortion-free glass aspheric lens and is submersible to depths up to 35 meters. Other features include a new and very robust flexure-arm adjustment system made of the same Beryllium Copper found in many riflescope designs, and a housing that is forged and machined from 7075 Aluminum with an integrated loaded chamber indicator (LCI) gas deflector and machined anti-reflection grooves on all rear facing surfaces for reduced glare. The optic incorporates a high-efficiency point source red LED emitter, with 2 MOA dot/32 MOA circle reticle, independent brightness adjustment buttons, 15 brightness settings including night vision settings, and a side-mounted CR2032 battery compartment with a threaded battery cap so the optic does not need to be removed from the pistol for battery changes. The ROMEO-M17 has a minimum continuous runtime of 50,000 hours at medium brightness setting, and utilizes MOTAC™ (Motion Activated Illumination), MAGNETAC™ (Magnetic Activation), and D.A.R.C™ (Dark Adaptive Reticles & Coatings) technologies.

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES PROTAC® RAIL MOUNT HL-X PRO
High-Lumen, Long-Range Light Offers Switch Redundancy, Battery Versatility
EAGLEVILLE, PA, October 19, 2023 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting tools, introduced the ProTac® Rail Mount HL-X Pro gun-mounted light, providing up to 1,000 lumens, 50,000 candela, and an extreme beam reach of 447 meters. The new light features an innovative Jack-Cap™ tail cap switch that offers both push-button or remote pressure switch operation, and also offers battery versatility, allowing users to choose between two different battery types.
The lightweight, low-profile ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Pro features a rugged, integrated rail clamp designed to rapidly and securely attach to rifles, carbines and sub-machine guns with a MIL-STD 1913 (Picatinny) or, by using the included M-LOK® mount, to M-LOK or M-LOK compatible rail systems. It is powered by either two 3-volt CR123 lithium batteries or one Streamlight rechargeable SL-B26® lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack. This multi-fuel option allows for use of primary disposable batteries if the rechargeable cell is out of power.
“This newest addition to the ProTac family of weapon-mounted lights is the ‘whole package,’” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “It not only functions as a high lumen light, but with its 50,000 candela and long beam reach, it also puts more light on a target at a distance. This makes it a powerful tactical tool for law enforcement professionals, military personnel and other first responders as they perform room clearing, search operations and other maneuvers under low-light conditions. Its innovative tail cap switch provides switch redundancy, offering both a push-button switch and a port for a remote pressure switch. And users can choose between rechargeable and disposable batteries, depending on preference or availability.”
The new light mounts to a broad range of weapons safely and securely by means of a one-handed, snap-on and tighten interface that permits users to keep their hands away from the gun muzzle. The light’s multi-function, push-button tail switch offers momentary and latching constant on operation; the optional remote switch is available in momentary only and momentary/latching versions. Both allow for one-handed operation of the light’s momentary, constant on or strobe modes. The light is also TEN-TAP® programmable to allow for selection of three different programs: high/strobe (factory default), high only, or low/high.
The ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Pro uses the latest in power LED technology for extreme brightness. When using the SL-B26 battery pack, the light delivers 1,000 lumens, 50,000 candela and a 447-meter beam distance on high. On low, it provides 60 lumens, 3,100 candela, and a beam distance of 111 meters.
When using CR123A batteries, the new light runs for up to 1.25 hours on high and 21 hours on low. With an SL-B26 battery pack inserted, the light’s run time is up to 1.75 hours on high and 24 hours on low. The run time for the strobe feature is up to 3.5 hours depending on the type of battery used.
The new light is fabricated from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminum with Type II MIL-Spec anodized finish. It measures 5.43 inches in length and weighs 6.6 ounces with two CR123 batteries and 7.2 ounces with the SL-B26 rechargeable battery pack. When using the standard push-button switch, it is IP67-rated for waterproof operation to one meter for 30 minutes, and is IP54-rated for water-resistant operation with the remote pressure switch installed. Extensively live-fire tested, the light is impact-resistance tested to two meters.
The ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Pro is available as a Light Only or as a System, which includes a remote pressure switch, Jack-Cap tail switch, remote retaining clips, double-sided tape, zip ties and a M-LOK® mount.
It has an MSRP that ranges from $210.00 to $266.00 depending on the configuration and includes Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

ESCORT BTS Bullpup Shotguns are Built to Last
Rogers, AR (October 19, 2023) – The ESCORT® BTS Bullpup offers all the perks of the VTS series shotguns in a more compact, portable package. This next-generation shotgun is available in either 12 ga or .410 cal and is offered in either black or FDE Cerakote. Their compact nature makes these shotguns an excellent choice for field use or home defense.
The 12-gauge models feature an 18” barrel with removable chokes, including an extended cylinder bore choke brake that helps tame recoil with heavy shots or slugs. Also included are full and improved cylinder flush-mount chokes, with additional options available from HatsanUSA. Each gun ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional 2-round magazine is also available. The gun’s SMART Valve Piston will cycle 7/8 oz to 2 oz magnum loads in 2 ¾” and 3” magnum rounds, credited to its self-regulating design.
The .410 models feature a 20” barrel with a fixed cylinder choke, suitable for both shots and slugs. This shotgun is one smooth operator, offering the same recoil-absorbing characteristics as the larger caliber models. The BTS ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional low-capacity mag holds three shells. The gas operation performs similarly; standard and magnum loads cycle smoothly and reliably without requiring external adjustments.
The length of any bullpup is an advantage over traditional designs. Using the same gas-piston system as the other VTS shotguns, the BTS Bullpup is slender, with smaller dimensions. The synthetic barrel cover features Hatsan’s patented ThermoDefend technology that absorbs and dissipates heat while containing the gas operating system. A DuraDefend magazine enhances the durability against extended use.
The BTS Bullpup provides an exceptional shooting experience with enhanced ergonomics and thoughtfully laid-out controls. Recoil is expertly managed between a soft rubber buttpad and a long recoil spring. The soft rubber pistol grip is removable and can be exchanged for one of many currently available aftermarket options to suit the individual user. The tough polymer lower receiver also doubles as the forend grip, with soft rubber inlays for improved handling.
The BTS Bullpup features a one-piece carry handle sight that can be replaced with the included flip-up sights for a lower profile or when using mounted optics. Picatinny rails are also located on either side of the forend to accommodate a variety of accessories. The reversible charging handle provides the capability for ambidextrous use.
As with all ESCORT shotguns, the barrels are proof-tested at the factory to ensure quality and durability. The hard chrome and/or Cerakote coatings look great and are built to withstand the harshest conditions. HatsanUSA offers a 5-year limited warranty with all ESCORT firearms.

TRUE Knives Innovates
Preparedness and Function with the Titanium Block Multi-Tool
Fort Worth, TX (October 19, 2023) – Multi-Tools, in general, are a mixed bag. They offer a wide range of functions that rarely focus on the core needs of a user but the potential needs of all users. Mixing a large range of tools also means a significant increase in weight and dimensions. For those looking to keep something for everyday use or have a more focused tool on hand, it can become difficult to find something functional and compact. And here is where True Knives stands out.
True Knives has created the TITANIUM BLOCK MULTI-TOOL. This purpose-driven multi-tool takes a lot of searching and guesswork out of the daily use of multi-tools. It’s not a large, heavy and expansive system designed for every eventuality, but a tailor-made combination of essentials that serve a user’s specific purposes. Made from titanium nitride coated 3Cr13 steel, every part is designed to last.
The TITANIUM BLOCK MULTI-TOOL features a 2.75-inch liner-locking tanto knife blade, bottle opener, flat edge scraper, and locking magnet bit driver that sits comfortably INSIDE a pocket with an incorporated belt clip. What this means for every user is simple: there’s an essential, easy-to-reach tool that does not require excessive housing or a large sheath to carry. The ¼-inch driver locking system is a patented Two Position Lockout System, which allows a 90-degree or 180-degree lock for better function in tight spaces or with more difficult screws. Bits can easily be changed and come with a Philips #2 and Flat #5 which are also titanium nitride coated for extra durability and strength.
With an overall length of 3.75 inches when folded, it’s small enough to fit perfectly into a pocket with the integrated pocket clip. Weight isn’t a downside with True’s TITANIUM BLOCK MULTI-TOOL as it weighs a paltry quarter of a pound, which is far less than most multi-tools on the market. There is no longer a need for additional weight or useless tools. Opening a bottle, undoing a screw in a tight space, or cutting into a softer material is easier than ever with the new TITANIUM BLOCK MULTI-TOOL from TRUE.

Atlanta Campaign Targets Illegal Gun Purchases
NSSF, ATF, DOJ Emphasize ‘Don’t Lie for the Other GuyTM’
ATLANTA — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, together with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), announced a month-long public education campaign reminding the Greater Atlanta area public about stiff penalties facing individuals convicted of unlawful firearm purchases. The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” campaign is in its 23rd year and drives home the message that anyone making an illegal firearm purchase faces a federal felony penalty of up to 15 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. An additional 15 years can be added if the straw purchase is made with the intent of trafficking across state lines. The program is funded in full by the firearm industry. Atlanta was chosen for this specific campaign by ATF.
“The firearm industry has always been fully committed to keeping firearms out of the hands of those who should not possess them. We are proud to launch this public awareness campaign in Atlanta and of our more than two-decade cooperative relationship with ATF, DOJ and the entire law enforcement community to assist them in their efforts to reduce criminal acquisition of firearms,” said NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi.
The Atlanta area “Don’t Lie” campaign will total more than 21.6 million gross media impressions running across a pool of 132 digital billboards, posters and transit shelters, as well as MARTA bus and rail inventory in key locations throughout the region with the message: “Buy a gun for someone who can’t and buy yourself 15 years in jail. Don’t Lie for the Other Guy.” The campaign also includes more than 500 radio spots playing on four major FM stations. On social media “Don’t Lie” advertisements will run across Facebook and Instagram, in addition to geofenced mobile display ads, generating an additional 3 million impressions.
To legally purchase a firearm, a person must pass an FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System verification, or NICS check, and fully comply with all state and local laws. When a criminal is illegally trafficking in firearms or knows they cannot pass this check, they may try to induce a friend or acquaintance to make the purchase for them. This is a straw purchase and is a felony.
The “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” program also involves educating firearm retailers to better detect and prevent straw purchases by providing “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” retailer kits containing a training video and information for storeowners and staff, as well as point-of-purchase displays aimed to deter illegal straw purchasers.

Keegan, who has been serving as Vista Outdoor’s interim CFO since November 2022, is well known by investors and analysts and is highly respected across the industry. His financial leadership and expertise have been especially valuable since Vista Outdoor announced it will separate into two businesses. These assets make him the ideal candidate to lead Revelyst’s financial team and join the management team alongside the Outdoor Products segment’s recently appointed CEO, Eric Nyman.
“Andy was the right person to steer Vista Outdoor’s financial direction over the past 10 months and he’ll be the right financial leader to take over as Revelyst CFO after the separation,” said Nyman, CEO of Revelyst. “His positive contributions to the organization are immeasurable as we separate into two standalone companies, and Andy will bring continuity and stability to Revelyst. Not only is Andy a savvy CFO, but he has assembled a team that will dial in a bright financial outlook for Revelyst.”
Keegan joined Vista Outdoor’s predecessor Alliant Techsystems Inc. in 2012 and has more than 15 years of experience in finance, accounting and treasury. Before his current role, he was the Vice President of Treasury and Corporate FP&A from 2020 to 2022, CFO of the Ammunition Business unit from 2017 to 2020, Vice President of Corporate Accounting from 2015 to 2017 and held roles of increasing responsibility within the finance department at ATK before Vista Outdoor’s spinoff from ATK. He began his career with Deloitte. Keegan has undergraduate degrees in accounting and management from St. John’s University and serves on the Board of Directors of the Vista Outdoor Foundation.
“Serving as interim CFO for Vista Outdoor for almost a year has prepared me to step into this new role, which I am excited to take on,” said Keegan. “Separating the company into two has been a tall task, but our team has been up to the challenge — just as our Revelyst finance team is now ready to guide this new venture using lessons of the past with a fresh vision for the future. From Vista Outdoor to Revelyst, our goal has been, continues to be and will remain the same: Ensure the company is well positioned to deliver sustainable and profitable growth to shareholders.”

Vista Outdoor Enters into Definitive Agreement to Sell Sporting Products Business to Czechoslovak Group for $1.91 Billion
10/16/2023
ANOKA, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Vista Outdoor Inc. (NYSE: VSTO) (“Vista Outdoor”), the parent company of 41 renowned brands that design, manufacture and market sporting and outdoor products to consumers around the globe, today announced a definitive agreement to sell its Sporting Products business to Czechoslovak Group a.s. (“CSG”) for an enterprise value of $1.91 billion in an all-cash transaction subject to customary closing conditions. This transaction represents the next step in Vista Outdoor’s plan to split the company into separate entities, which was previously announced on May 5, 2022.
CSG is a leading industrial technology holding company, operating within five strategic business segments, including defense, aerospace, ammunition, mobility and business. CSG is 100% owned and led by Michal Strnad, who has transformed it into a leading Czech industrial group with a strong international footprint. CSG employs more than 10,000 people worldwide and it owns and manages a diverse portfolio of industrial and trade companies across the defense and civil sectors.
“This is an important strategic step for our company in creating value through separating our Outdoor Products and Sporting Products segments,” said Gary McArthur, interim CEO of Vista Outdoor. “The previously announced plan to separate our businesses has positioned us to execute seamlessly on this transaction, which we believe is the best path to maximize value for our stockholders, while better positioning Sporting Products and Outdoor Products for future success.”
“We are confident that CSG is a great home for our leading ammunition brands,” said Jason Vanderbrink, CEO of Sporting Products. “The company is fully committed to our iconic American brands and expanding our legacy of U.S. manufacturing, support for military and law enforcement customers, and investments in conservation and our hunting and shooting heritage. We are excited to work closely with the CSG team as we enter this next phase and position our brands for long-term success.”
Added Michal Strnad, CEO of CSG, “Jason and the Sporting Products leadership team have a strong heritage of delivering high quality products, and we are pleased to welcome them to the CSG family of companies as we partner to support their next chapter. We look forward to building on the company’s success in delivering innovative, quality products and are confident in the long-term value we can create together. We are committed to expanding their legacy of U.S. manufacturing and providing resources to accelerate their growth.”
Transaction Details
The transaction values the Sporting Products business at an enterprise value of $1.91 billion, on a cash-free, debt-free basis with a normalized level of working capital, and is supported by $1.11 billion of fully committed debt financing with the remaining amount funded by CSG. The valuation is approximately 5x enterprise value to Sporting Products FY24 EBITDA, including estimated standalone costs. To effect the transaction, Vista Outdoor will separate its Outdoor Products business from its Sporting Products business, and CSG will merge one of its subsidiaries with Vista Outdoor (holding only the Sporting Products business), with current public stockholders of Vista Outdoor receiving shares of Outdoor Products (recently rebranded as Revelyst) and approximately $750 million in cash in the aggregate. This will be treated as a taxable sale of a stockholder’s Vista Outdoor shares for the Outdoor Products shares and cash consideration they receive in the merger, allowing stockholders to recover tax basis and recognize built-in gain and loss in their Vista Outdoor shares. Relative to a divestiture of Sporting Products as an asset sale, this structure has corporate level tax of approximately $50 million versus approximately $380 million for a divestiture as an asset sale and allows for the tax-efficient return of cash to stockholders.
The transaction is expected to close in calendar year 2024, subject to approval of our stockholders, receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Upon closing, Vanderbrink will remain CEO of the Sporting Products business and the U.S. headquarters will remain in Anoka, Minnesota. In connection with the transaction, the company’s approximately 4,000 employees who represent four factories and the consumer brands CCI, Federal, HEVI-Shot, Remington and Speer will continue their heritage of community and conservation support through local and national organizations.
Outdoor Products
Upon completion of the sale of the Sporting Products business to CSG, Vista Outdoor’s Outdoor Products business will become Revelyst, Inc. (“Revelyst”), an independent publicly traded company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “GEAR.” Revelyst will leverage meticulous craftsmanship and cross-collaboration across its portfolio of category-defining brands. Brands include Fox, Bell, Giro, CamelBak, Camp Chef, Bushnell, Simms Fishing, Foresight Sports, Bushnell Golf and more. Eric Nyman will continue as CEO of Outdoor Products and become the CEO of Revelyst upon transaction close.
Leadership Update
Joining Vanderbrink on the leadership team at Sporting Products will be Al Kerfeld, CFO; Jeff Ehrich, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary; and Mark Kowalski, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. Andy Keegan, currently vice president and interim CFO of Vista Outdoor, plans to join Revelyst as CFO.
Preview of Q2 2024 Financial Results and Guidance Update
Vista Outdoor is providing a preview of its earnings results for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24). The company will announce its full second-quarter earnings results on November 2, 2023.
For the three months ended September 24, 2023, segment results versus the three months ended September 25, 2022:
Sporting Products
Sales are expected to be between $347 million and $352 million, a decrease driven by a challenging economic environment for consumers and market normalization which resulted in pressures across multiple categories.
Operating income is expected to be in the range of $91 million to $95 million.
Outdoor Products
Sales are expected to decrease to a range of $325 million to $330 million. The decline was driven by decreased buying across all business units as channel partners continue to be cautious with purchasing due to inventory levels and as consumers are pressured by high interest rates and other short-term factors, partially offset by inorganic sales contribution.
Operating income is expected to be in the range of $11 million to $15 million as retailers continue promotional pricing to move through inventory resulting in lower sales and bottom-line pressure.
These preliminary results for Q2 2024 are an estimate, based on information available to management as of the date of this release, and are subject to further changes upon completion of the Company’s quarter-end procedures. Vista Outdoor’s preliminary financial results should not be viewed as a substitute for full audited or reviewed financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and undue reliance should not be placed on these preliminary financial results. Vista Outdoor’s independent registered public accounting firm has not completed review procedures on the preliminary financial results included in this press release or expressed any opinion or other form of assurance on such preliminary financial results. In addition, items or events may be identified or occur after the date of this press release due to the completion of operational and financial closing procedures, final review adjustments and other developments that may require Vista Outdoor to make material adjustments to the preliminary financial results included in this press release.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2024
Due to our second quarter preliminary results, an increasingly challenging economic environment for consumers with higher interest rates expected for longer, and other short-term factors, the company is lowering full-year FY24 guidance and expects the following:
Sales of $2.725 billion to $2.825 billion
Sporting Products sales of $1.450 billion to $1.500 billion
Outdoor Products sales of $1.275 billion to $1.325 billion
Adjusted EBITDA margins between 15.50% and 16.25%
Sporting Products EBITDA Margin Range of 26.50% to 27.50%
Outdoor Products EBITDA Margin Range of 7.75% to 8.25%
EPS between $3.37 and $3.77 and Adjusted EPS between $3.65 and $4.05
Effective tax rate of approximately 19.5%
Interest expense in the range of $55 million to $65 million
Conference Call and Webcast Information
Vista Outdoor will hold a conference call to discuss the transaction and its preliminary second quarter FY24 results beginning at 9 a.m. ET. on October 16, 2023. The conference call will be accessible through a live webcast. Interested investors and other individuals can access the webcast and view and/or download the press releases via Vista Outdoor’s website (vistaoutdoor.com).

The telephone number is (866) 813-9403, and the confirmation code is 237970.
Investor Day Update
In connection with today’s announcement, Vista Outdoor will postpone its Investor Day, previously scheduled for October 19, 2023, in New York City. The company will provide an update regarding a rescheduled Investor Day closer to the closing of the transaction.

US Patriot Announces 2023 Bravery Tour Winner
U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, completed a 6,800-mile, 25-military base tour, and has announced the lucky winner of the tour Jeep and $10K.
Lexington, KY (October 2023) – In May 2023, U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, launched a four-month, 25-military base Bravery Tour celebrating U.S. military Service Members, past and present, and their families for their service, bravery, and sacrifice. The U.S. Patriot team, which includes several U.S. military veterans, drove a 2023 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 4×4 wrapped in a beautiful red, white, and blue U.S. Patriot livery across the nation.
The tour interacted with the military service members, celebrating everything they do for our nation. The tour also brought their voice directly into how U.S. Patriot serves them better for tactical gear needs. Several service members left their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind in the nation.
Today, Karen Igglehart, SGT-US Army, was announced the winner after a random drawing from the hundreds of thousands of entries received. Igglehart was presented with the keys to the JEEP and a check for $10,000 at the U.S. Patriot store in Fort Stewart, Georgia. Igglehart enlisted in the US Army in 1982 and served 12 years as an E-5 Noncommunications Interceptor/Analyst in Bravo Company, with the 224th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Stewart, GA.
“I knew that every entry counted. My husband joked that I was wasting my time. However, I entered every day, and today, I’m beyond excited to be the lucky winner of the JEEP and $10,000! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind interacting with the U.S. Patriot team. As a veteran, it means a lot that U.S. Patriot put the Bravery Tour together to support active-duty military members, their families, and my fellow Vets. I am truly honored to be the U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour winner, and I cannot wait to hit the road in my new JEEP,” commented Igglehart.
“Congratulations to Karen Igglehart,” Mike Fadden, CEO of GALLS® and U.S. Patriot, said. “Giving away the Bravery Tour Jeep is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the men and women who protect us. The U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour was a tremendously successful outreach program where we learned firsthand from our military service members their evolving needs around tactical gear and innovations needed to protect the protectors better. I am looking forward to continually evolving the services and products we bring to our military service members.”
