“Merchandise sales were challenging in the second quarter,” said Tommy Millner, Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer. “Since the fall election, we have continued to see a slowdown in firearms and shooting related categories. This slowdown was even more pronounced in the second quarter due to the impact of inventory liquidation by a major competitor who has filed for bankruptcy as well as the anniversary of a number of events from a year ago, including the Orlando tragedy in June of 2016. Additionally, similar to broader retail industry trends, we continued to experience softness in most hunting related categories. For the quarter, we were pleased with the excellent performance of our Cabela’s CLUB Visa program which continues to perform very well.”
