Golden offered this forward-looking statement, "Based on current visibility, however, we expect our total company sales for the second quarter will be between $103 million and $105 million, which would be another record revenue quarter. Within that total, we expect our firearms segment to contribute between $88 million and $90 million, and our perimeter security segment to contribute the balance. Note that our second quarter routinely includes an annual two-week shutdown of our Houston and Springfield facilities, which reduces revenue potential in the quarter and limits cost absorption at those locations." Analysts, on average, were expecting fiscal Q2 revenues of $99.7 million.
Golden went on to say: "We expect total company gross profit margin to be between 31% and 32%, a significant improvement over the 27.3% gross margin in the second quarter of last year. We expect operating expenses to be higher versus the first quarter due to the inclusion of USR and the first quarter effects previously described."
