Second Quarter 2026 Results

Delivered Second Quarter Net Sales of $158.1 Million

Earnings per Share was $0.43, Adjusted Earnings

per Share was $0.52

Generated $17.3 Million of Cash from Operations

Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.21 Per Share

MAYODAN, NC – July 29, 2026 – Sturm, Ruger &

Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) (“Ruger” or the “Company”) announced today its financial results for the

second quarter 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

· The Company achieved net sales of $158.1 million, a 19% increase over the $132.5 million achieved in the corresponding period in 2025.

· Diluted earnings were $0.43 per share compared to $1.05 diluted loss per share in the corresponding period in 2025.

· On an adjusted basis, diluted earnings for the second quarter of 2026 were $0.52 per share compared to $0.41 per share in the corresponding

period in 2025.

· Average selling price increased 10% to $384 during the quarter, while improved product mix and operational execution contributed to

a 4% increase in adjusted gross margin compared to Q2 2025.

· Net Income Margin for the Quarter was 4.4%. Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the Quarter was 10.5%

During the second quarter, the Company incurred incremental

expenses associated with negotiating and finalizing the Strategic Cooperation Agreement (“Agreement”) with Beretta Holding

S.A. (“Beretta Holding”), which was announced on May 4, 2026. The Company incurred legal, professional and advisory fees

and other expenses totaling approximately $1.2 million related to the Agreement negotiations during the quarter. Additionally, there

were one-time expenses related to the transition of the Chief Financial Officer that were incurred in the quarter. These items do not,

in the opinion of management, reflect the underlying performance of the core business.

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors

declared a dividend of $0.21 per share for the second quarter for shareholders of record as of August 14, 2026, payable on August 28,

2026. This dividend equates to approximately 40% of adjusted net income of $0.52 per share for the second quarter of 2026.

The second quarter reflected continued execution

of the Company's 2026 Plan, highlighted by improved operating performance, strong core product demand and the introduction of the Ruger

Business System, establishing the Company's long-term operating framework.

“Our second quarter results demonstrate our

ability to deliver against our strategy,” said Todd Seyfert, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered sequential

and year-over-year sales growth, improved bottom-line results and improved manufacturing execution following first quarter production

constraints.”

Second Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights

· The estimated sell-through of the Company’s products from the independent distributors to retailers in Q2 2026 increased by

19% from Q2 2025, exceeding a 5% increase in adjusted NICS during the same period.

· Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the Company’s finished goods inventories decreased 100,100 units while distributors’

inventories decreased 45,800 units, reflecting strong retail pull through of our new products.

“Adjusted NICS remained above prior-year levels

during the quarter, and Ruger continued to outperform the broader market,” Seyfert added. “Improved manufacturing execution

also allowed us to begin rebuilding finished goods inventory, enhancing product availability for our customers while maintaining disciplined

inventory management.”

An important milestone during the quarter was the

formal establishment of the Ruger Business System – the operating framework for how the company will plan, execute and continuously

improve performance across the enterprise.

“The establishment of the Ruger Business System

is much more than a new operating process,” Seyfert continued. “It creates a common way of working company-wide, aligning

our people around shared objectives, reinforcing accountability and providing the tools and capabilities for successful execution of our

Ruger 2030 strategy, and beyond.”

Year-to-Date 2026 Highlights

Through the first six months of 2026, the Company

continued executing its 2026 Plan while strengthening its operational foundation through improved manufacturing performance and disciplined

capital allocation. Other highlights include:

· The Company achieved net sales of $299.4 million for the period, a 12% increase over the $268.2 million achieved in the corresponding

period in 2025.

· Diluted earnings were $0.44 per share for the period compared to $0.57 diluted loss per share in the corresponding period in 2025.

· On an adjusted basis, excluding severance costs related to a first quarter reduction-in-force and legal, professional and advisory

fees and other expenses related to the stockholder matters, diluted earnings for the first six months of 2026 were $0.79 per share compared

to adjusted earnings of $0.87 per share for the first half of 2025. The 2025 adjusted earnings exclude the inventory and related other

asset write-off, product rationalization, and organizational realignment incurred in the second quarter of 2025.

· Sales of new products, including the RXM pistol, Marlin 1894 lever-action rifles, American Centerfire Rifle Generation II, Glenfield

rifles, Harrier rifles and the Ruger Red Label III Shotgun, represented $80.9 million, or 29%, of firearm sales for the period. New product

sales include only major new products that were introduced in the past two years.

· Cash generated from operations during the first half of 2026 totaled $36.1 million, compared to $25.9 million in 2025.

· As of June 27, 2026, Ruger’s cash and short-term investments totaled $117.5 million. The Company’s current ratio is 3.3

to 1 and there is no debt.

· For the period, capital expenditures totaled $8.1 million. The Company expects capital expenditures to total approximately $30 million

for the year for continued investments in new product introductions, expanded capacity for product lines in greatest demand, upgraded

manufacturing capabilities and strengthened facility infrastructure.

· In the first six months, the Company returned $3.0 million to its shareholders through the payment of quarterly dividends. The Company

did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the period.

“As we reach the midpoint of 2026, we are encouraged

by the progress we've made across the business. While there is still important work ahead, we believe the operational foundation we continue

building positions Ruger to execute with greater consistency, respond more effectively to changing market conditions and create durable

long-term value for our shareholders,” Seyfert concluded.

Today, the Company filed its Quarterly Report on

Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2026. The financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are attached to this

press release.

The Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second

quarter of 2026 is available on the SEC website at SEC.gov and the Ruger website at Ruger.com/corporate. Investors are urged to read the

complete Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure that they have adequate information to make informed investment judgments.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance 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 three supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measures, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted

diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”), which management believes provides useful information to investors. These non-GAAP

financial performance measures may not be comparable to similarly titled financial performance measures being disclosed by other companies.

In addition, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial performance measures have limitations as analytical tools, and, accordingly,

should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS

should not be construed to imply that the Company’s future results will not be affected by unusual or non-recurring items.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted

EBITDA margin are useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying business, as Adjusted EBITDA

assists investors in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that

the Company does not believe are indicative of its operating performance. 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.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before

interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company

does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance, as itemized below. Specifically, the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA

by (i) 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, (ii) subtracting the amount of interest income that was included in net income from net income, (iii)

subtracting income tax benefits, (iv) adding the amount of extraordinary cash and non-cash, non-operating expenses, and (v) subtracting

non-recurring income or non-recurring gains that do not contribute directly to management’s evaluation of its operating results.

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA was $16.6 million for the three months

ended June 27, 2026, an increase of 205.0% from $5.4 million in the comparable prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $27.5 million for the six months

ended June 27, 2026, an increase of 39.1% from $19.7 million in the comparable prior year period.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation – Adjusted EPS

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted

EPS”) is defined as (i) net income, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, significant charges or credits,

and unusual and infrequent non-operating items that impact current results but are not related to our ongoing operations, such as M&A,

integration and related costs, divided by (ii) the weighted average diluted common stock shares outstanding. The Company believes that

Adjusted EPS is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying business by identifying unusual

and infrequent non-operating items that are not related to our ongoing operations and presenting our earnings independent of those items.
