Our Company has seen tremendous growth over the last 12 months. As our team continues to strive to reach higher goals, we feel it is important to provide an update to our investors in order to keep everyone abreast of the execution on our daily commitment to enhance shareholder value and grow this Company. Today’s update is meant as a progress report regarding where we are today, and where we hope to be by the end of our 2021 fiscal year as of March 31, 2021.
- Signed a Letter of Intent on February 9th to acquire GunBroker.com at an enterprise value of $240 million.
- GunBroker.com is the world’s leading online marketplace for the legal sale of firearms, ammunition, and accessories with over 6.0 million registered users.
- GunBroker.com’s estimated 2020 revenue is approximately $60 million, with over $40 million of EBITDA, positive net income and strong free cash flow.
- The transaction is accretive to our shareholders.
- Transaction provides strong free cashflow and high margin business.
- This transaction further expands upon AMMO’s vertical integration strategy.
We have seen demand and the resulting sales of our products increase the last 12 months and expect to see that growth trend to continue throughout the calendar years of 2021 and 2022.
We negotiated an incentive-based land acquisition in Wisconsin to acquire land and announced our planned construction of a more than $12 million (plus) state of the art ammunition and brass case manufacturing plant, which we estimate will triple our manufacturing output. We have also projected our new plant will provide operational efficiencies and decrease operational costs by approximately $1 million.
We closed on the repurchase of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for $1.50 per share from Jagemann Stamping, which lowered the Company float.
The AMMO story is one of execution, and through that continued execution and expansion, we look forward to creating value for all of our shareholders.
