Current and future government regulations on firearms and ammunition, such as increased minimum age requirements (e.g., Washington, Florida), waiting periods, and restrictions on certain products, could negatively impact demand and increase compliance costs[153](index=153&type=chunk)[156](index=156&type=chunk)[157](index=157&type=chunk) - The company is exposed to litigation risks, including product liability lawsuits for firearms/ammunition and claims related to background check performance, which could lead to significant financial losses and reputational harm[158](index=158&type=chunk) -

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply chain interruptions and shifts in consumer behavior, with future impacts remaining uncertain, potentially leading to decreased sales if demand subsides[163](index=163&type=chunk)[164](index=164&type=chunk)[258](index=258&type=chunk) - The company's retail-based model is highly sensitive to general economic conditions, with potential declines in consumer spending due to factors like inflation, job losses, and reduced access to credit, impacting sales and profitability[165](index=165&type=chunk) - Reliance on a single distribution center in Salt Lake City, Utah, makes the company vulnerable to natural disasters or disruptions, which could impair merchandise delivery to stores and customers[175](index=175&type=chunk) - Increased freight costs and ongoing supply chain disruptions from vendors are expected to continue into fiscal year 2022 and beyond, putting pressure on gross profit and margins[176](index=176&type=chunk)[177](index=177&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Business Strategy](index=50&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Business%20Strategy) Business strategy risks include challenges in new market expansion, omni-channel development, private label growth (product recalls, IP protection), and strategic acquisitions, all potentially impacting financial results - Expansion into new markets, particularly smaller ones, presents risks including unfamiliarity with local preferences, challenges in site identification, and potential delays in store openings due to various factors[191](index=191&type=chunk)[194](index=194&type=chunk) -

Growing private label brand offerings expose the company to risks such as product recalls, intellectual property protection challenges, and potential adverse effects on vendor relationships[203](index=203&type=chunk)[204](index=204&type=chunk)[206](index=206&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Liquidity and Capital Resources](index=56&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Liquidity%20and%20Capital%20Resources) Liquidity risks include dependence on operating cash flows and a **$250.0 million** credit facility, restrictive debt covenants, and rising interest rates (including LIBOR transition), which could impact financial flexibility - The company's operations and expansion depend on adequate capital, with liquidity primarily from operating cash flows and a **$250.0 million** revolving credit facility, which is subject to borrowing base calculations[209](index=209&type=chunk)[210](index=210&type=chunk) - Restrictive covenants in the revolving credit facility limit the company's ability to incur debt, create liens, make investments, and declare dividends, potentially impairing operational flexibility[212](index=212&type=chunk) - An increase in market interest rates or the discontinuation of LIBOR (which affects existing variable-rate debt) could increase interest costs, making financing more expensive and lowering earnings[214](index=214&type=chunk)[216](index=216&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Our Common Stock](index=58&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Common%20Stock) Provisions in the company's governing documents and Delaware law could deter acquisitions and make management changes difficult, while stock price volatility may lead to investor losses and litigation - Provisions in the company's governing documents and Delaware law, such as a classified board and supermajority voting requirements, could discourage acquisitions and make it harder for stockholders to change management[219](index=219&type=chunk)[220](index=220&type=chunk)[223](index=223&type=chunk) - The price of the common stock is volatile, with fluctuations driven by operating performance, demand for products, regulatory changes (especially firearms), and broader economic conditions, potentially leading to investor losses and litigation[224](index=224&type=chunk)[225](index=225&type=chunk) [General Risks](index=60&type=section&id=General%20Risks) General risks include potential disruptions or breaches of IT systems, failure to protect intellectual property, and increasing ESG expectations, which could lead to reputational damage and additional costs - Material disruptions or breaches of IT systems, including cyber-attacks and data loss, could damage customer relationships, lead to litigation, and negatively impact operations and financial condition[227](index=227&type=chunk)[229](index=229&type=chunk) - Failure to protect intellectual property (trademarks, service marks, copyrights) could diminish brand value, lead to costly litigation, and adversely affect operating results[230](index=230&type=chunk) - Increasing focus on corporate responsibility and ESG matters by investors and stakeholders may impose additional costs and expose the company to reputational damage if it fails to meet evolving standards[233](index=233&type=chunk) [Unresolved Staff Comments](index=63&type=section&id=Item%201B.%20Unresolved%20Staff%20Comments) The company has no unresolved staff comments from the SEC [Properties](index=64&type=section&id=Item%202.%20Properties) Sportsman's Warehouse leases all **122 retail stores** (approximately **4.7 million gross square feet**), its corporate headquarters, and a **507,000 square foot** distribution center -
