“Q325 was a strong quarter for Axil as we continued to execute on our multi-channel growth strategy,” said Axil Chairman and CEO Jeff Toghraie. “We expanded into new geographic markets, deepened our retail distribution, and capitalized on Cyber Monday’s timing shift to drive meaningful growth in direct-to-consumer revenue.”
Toghraie said the company has also taken decisive action to address risks tied to evolving U.S. trade policy proactively.
“With new tariffs now in effect, we are accelerating our supply chain transition strategy — relocating key operational leadership to the U.S. and initiating plans to build out domestic manufacturing capabilities,” the CEO shared. “These moves are designed not just to manage near-term disruptions but to enhance Axil’s long-term resilience and control over its cost structure. We believe these steps will better position the company to navigate volatility and capitalize on future growth opportunities.”
