EXHIBIT 99.1

Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

MIDVALE, Utah, Nov. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. ("Sportsman's" or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SPWH) today announced financial results for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018.

Jon Barker, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our third quarter performance as our top and bottom line results were in line with expectations. Our results are reflective of the solid progress we continue to make against our key strategic priorities centered around our omni-channel strategy of store growth and expansion of our e-commerce platform, customer acquisition and engagement, and merchandising. We believe our continued investments across the business are fueling market share gains as we continue to differentiate ourselves and strengthen our competitive positioning within the outdoor sporting goods industry.”

Mr. Barker continued “Given our year-to-date performance, we are narrowing our full year guidance. As we look to fiscal 2019, we will continue to maintain our strategy of moderated store growth and we expect to open between four and five stores, which will allow us to further invest in our e-commerce capabilities and allocate free cash flow towards debt reduction.”

For the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2018:

For the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018:

Balance sheet highlights as of November 3, 2018:                                                                       

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2018 Outlook:

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, net sales are expected to be in the range of $238.0 million to $246.0 million based on a change in same store sales in the range of (1.0)% to 2.0% compared to the corresponding period of fiscal year 2017. Adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $10.0 million to $11.3 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.23 to $0.26 on a weighted average of approximately 43.0 million estimated common shares outstanding.

For fiscal year 2018, net sales are expected to be in the range of $844.0 million to $852.0 million based on a change in same store sales in the range of 0.0% to 2.0% compared to fiscal year 2017. Adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $25.2 million to $26.6 million with adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.59 to $0.62 on a weighted average of approximately 43.0 million estimated common shares outstanding, when adjusted for the one-time expense incurred in connection with the announcement of the retirement of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, John Schaefer, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the write-off of the debt discount and deferred financing fees relating to the Company’s old term loan incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, and a non-recurring tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. (see “GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures”).

Fiscal Year

We operate on a fiscal calendar that, in a given fiscal year, consists of the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st. Our fiscal third quarters ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, both consisted of 13 weeks and are referred to herein as the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, respectively. Fiscal year 2018 contains 52 weeks of operations and will end on February 2, 2019. Fiscal year 2017 contained 53 weeks of operations ended on February 3, 2018. Due to the 53rd week in fiscal year 2017, all references to same store sales for fiscal year 2018 are compared to the shifted period for the comparable period for fiscal year 2017.  For the third fiscal quarter, same store sales for the period ended November 3, 2018 are compared to the same number of weeks for the period ended November 4, 2017, which is the comparable period.

Conference Call Information:

A conference call to discuss third quarter and fiscal 2018 financial results is scheduled for today, November 28, 2018, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time. The conference call will be webcast and may be accessed via the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.sportsmanswarehouse.com.

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 earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA. We defined adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income as income from operations and net income, respectively, in each case, plus professional and other fees incurred in connection with the evaluation of a strategic acquisition, charges incurred in conjunction with the retirement of the Company’s former CEO, deferred financing fees and debt discount associated with the Company’s prior term loan, and non-recurring tax benefit adjustments, as applicable. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of professional and other fees incurred in connection with the evaluation of a strategic acquisition, charges incurred in conjunction with the retirement of the Company’s former CEO, deferred financing fees and debt discount associated with the Company’s prior term loan, and non-recurring tax benefit adjustments. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and other gains, losses and expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses. 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 the Company 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, but are not limited to, statements regarding our strategic initiatives and our outlook for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2018.  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 the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018 which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018 and the Company’s 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.
