EXHIBIT 99.1

Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results

MIDVALE, Utah, April 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. ("Sportsman's" or the "Company")(Nasdaq:SPWH) today announced financial results for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended January 31, 2015.

For the thirteen weeks ended January 31, 2015:

John Schaefer, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are very pleased with our performance in fiscal 2014, as we grew our store base by 17.0% with the addition of eight new stores, increased sales by 2.6% and met each of our financial performance objectives despite heightened competition in some of our larger markets and continued industry headwinds that impacted the firearms and ammunition categories. We also executed on our strategic goals by finalizing our store within a store program in the clothing area, making significant strides with our private label initiatives and continuing to develop our customer loyalty program. In addition, we also successfully refined and implemented a smaller prototype that allows us to profitably service smaller Metropolitan Statistical Areas."

Mr. Schaefer continued, "As we begin fiscal 2015, we remain focused on our strategic initiatives and continue to see abundant white space and significant share opportunity to be captured within the outdoor sporting goods market. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity given our distinguishing attributes of high service levels, everyday value and local shopping convenience."

For the fifty-two weeks ended January 31, 2015:

Balance sheet highlights as of January 31, 2015:

Non-GAAP Information

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"): adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. The Company has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under "GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures" in this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of the Company's business and facilitate a more meaningful comparison of its diluted income per share and actual results on a period-over-period basis. The Company has provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of its ongoing operations. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these items differently than it does. Each of these measures is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements in this release include our outlook for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2014. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they use words such as "continue," "expect," "may," "opportunity," "plan," "future," "ahead" and similar terms and phrases. The Company cannot assure investors that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it has anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to risks relating to the Company's retail-based business model, general economic conditions and consumer spending, the Company's concentration of stores in the Western United States, competition in the outdoor activities and sporting goods market, changes in consumer demands, the company's expansion into new markets and planned growth, current and future government regulations, risks related to the Company's continued retention of its key management, the Company's distribution center, quality or safety concerns about the Company's merchandise, events that may affect the Company's vendors, trade restrictions, and other factors that are set forth in the Company's filings with the SEC, including under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2014 filed with the SEC on June 11, 2014 and our other public filings made with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company's assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this release speaks only as of the date on which the Company makes it. Factors or events that could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
