SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMMO, Inc. (OTCQB: POWW) (“AMMO” or the “Company”), a premier American ammunition and munition components manufacturer and technology leader, has reported financial results for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Financial Summary for Fiscal Year 2020 vs. Fiscal Year 2019

• Total revenue increased 224% to $14.8 million compared to $4.6 million.
  -  Proprietary ammunition revenue increased 17% to $3.0 million.
  -  Standard ammunition revenue increased 154% to $3.6 million.
  -  Casing revenue increased over 1,300% to $8.2 million.
• Net loss was $14.6 million compared to a net loss of $11.7 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $(7.8) million compared to $(4.8) million.

“The unprecedented uptick in commercial demand due to COVID-19, social unrest and the upcoming election was a favorable tailwind to our financial results as we closed out our fiscal year,” said Fred Wagenhals, AMMO’s CEO. “As evident by the 224% increase in total revenue, the investments we made throughout the fiscal year to expand manufacturing capabilities and scale our operations allowed us to capitalize on this extraordinary demand at the end of the year and significantly grow our customer base. We believe the planned capital investments deployed this year have positioned us well for the future and allowed us to capture the benefit of the current hyper-demand environment, although our adjusted EBITDA took a hit from the increased spending this year. In addition, we also continued to make headway within the military and law enforcement as conversations with various domestic and international government agencies progressed.

“As a result, we now anticipate revenue in fiscal 2021 to be approximately $42 million, a 40% increase from our previous guidance and a 184% increase from total revenue in fiscal 2020.”
