EXHIBIT 99.1

Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results

MIDVALE, Utah, March 23, 2016 (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 30, 2016.

For the thirteen weeks ended January 30, 2016:

For the fifty-two weeks ended January 30, 2016:

John Schaefer, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are very pleased to have ended fiscal year 2015 with a strong fourth quarter and to have delivered on the revenue and earnings goals for fiscal year 2015 that we set at the beginning of the year. Our revenue increase of 10.6%, modest gross margin expansion, and adjusted net income growth of over 22% in fiscal year 2015 compared to fiscal year 2014 reflect our ability to execute, despite a choppy overall retail environment combined with weather headwinds and continued competition in many of our markets. Both our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2015 performance demonstrate the strength of our business model including our everyday low pricing, best-in-class customer service and our flexible store layout that gives us the ability to profitably operate in both smaller and larger markets.”

Mr. Schaefer continued, “Despite the continued momentum we have seen in the use categories of hunting, fishing and camping, we believe it is prudent to take a conservative posture when planning 2016, as we expect the unseasonably warm weather to continue to negatively impact our clothing and footwear categories through the first half of the year. In 2016, we remain focused on growing our store base while maintaining disciplined cost management and responsible capital allocation.”

Balance sheet highlights as of January 30, 2016:                      

First Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Outlook:

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, net sales are expected to be in the range of $155.0 million to $160.0 million based on same store sales change in the range of flat to down low single digits. Net loss is expected to be in the range of ($0.1) million to ($1.0) million, with diluted loss per share of ($0.00) to ($0.02) on a weighted average of approximately 42.4 million estimated common shares outstanding.

For fiscal year 2016, net sales are expected to be in the range of $800.0 million to $820.0 million based on opening eleven new stores for the full year and same store sales change in the range of 0.0% to 2.0%. Net income is expected to be in the range of $27.5 million to $31.1 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.65 to $0.73 on approximately 42.5 million estimated weighted average common shares outstanding.

Conference Call Information:

A conference call to discuss fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2015 financial results is scheduled for today, March 23, 2016, at 4:30 PM 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 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, but are not limited to, our outlook for the first quarter and full fiscal year 2016.  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-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 which we expect to file with the SEC on March 24, 2016 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.

(1) As a result of the completion of our initial public offering and pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with our executive officers, we paid $2.2 million in bonuses to our executive officers. 
(2) On March 9, 2015, a jury awarded $11.9 million against the defendants in a litigation matter. We reviewed the decision and accrued $4.0 million in our results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended January 31, 2015 related to this matter. We strongly disagreed with the jury’s verdict and filed post-trial motions seeking to have the verdict set aside. On July 30, 2015, the court granted our motion for judgment as a matter of law. The plaintiff and a co-defendant have appealed the July 30, 2015 ruling to the appellate court and the appeal is currently in process. Based on the court’s most recent judgment in our favor, we determined that the likelihood of loss in this case is not probable, and, as such, we reversed the previous accrual of $4.0 million in our results for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. The accrual and subsequent reversal of the $4.0 million is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of income.       
(3) Expenses paid by us in connection with a secondary offering of our common stock by affiliates of Seidler Equity Partners III, L.P. and one of our executive officers.
(4) Refinance related costs are expenses associated with the prepayment penalty and write off of the issuance discount and other deferred financing costs associated with the December 2, 2014 refinance of the Company's term loan. 
(5) Assumes our IPO was effective as of February 2, 2014, the first day of our fiscal year 2014.     
(6) Stock-based compensation expense represents non-cash expenses related to equity instruments granted to employees under our 2013 Performance Incentive Plan. 
(7) Pre-opening expenses include expenses incurred in the preparation and opening of a new store location, such as payroll, travel and supplies, but do not include the cost of the initial inventory or capital expenditures required to open a location.
