Outdoor Holding Company Launches AI-Powered Listing Tool on GunBroker Marketplace

Atlanta, GA., March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Outdoor Holding Company (Nasdaq: POWW, POWWP) (“OHC,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), the owner of GunBroker.com, the largest online marketplace for firearms, hunting and related products, has introduced a proprietary AI-powered listing tool designed to drive seller performance, enhance marketplace quality and further strengthen the Company’s long-term competitive position.

The new feature enables sellers on GunBroker to automatically generate optimized product descriptions using artificial intelligence purpose-built for the firearms marketplace. The system is informed by 27 years of proprietary transactional data, buyer behavior insights and listing performance analytics unique to the GunBroker platform. By embedding the AI tool directly within the listing workflow, the Company has reduced friction in the listing creation process while standardizing quality across the marketplace. Sellers enter firearm specifications as usual and, following the photo upload step, may select “Use AI to Generate Descriptions.” The system then produces a structured, marketplace-optimized description aligned with GunBroker best practices. Sellers retain full editorial control prior to publishing.

Driving Seller Productivity and Marketplace Performance

Management believes the AI-powered listing tool represents a scalable technology investment capable of positively influencing key marketplace metrics, including listing velocity, conversion rates and overall transaction volume. For high-volume enterprise and storefront sellers, the feature is expected to materially reduce time spent creating listings while improving consistency, completeness and presentation quality across inventory. These improvements can support stronger sell-through rates, faster inventory turnover and increased transaction throughput, which contribute to marketplace liquidity and revenue growth. For individual and seasonal sellers, the tool can lower the barrier to entry by enabling professional-grade listings without requiring deep marketplace expertise.

By raising listing standards across the platform, the Company anticipates improved buyer engagement, enhanced search performance and increased transaction efficiency. “Our focus is on deploying technology that measurably improves marketplace economics,” said CEO Steve Urvan. “This AI tool is designed to increase listing velocity, improve conversion rates and drive incremental transaction volume while requiring minimal incremental cost to scale. We view disciplined AI deployment as a long-term value creation strategy for shareholders, and we will continue allocating capital toward initiatives that enhance revenue durability and margin potential.”

As listing quality improves at scale, management believes the resulting network effects can reinforce GunBroker’s marketplace flywheel, with the potential to increase buyer confidence, support seller success and expand long-term monetization.

Expanding the AI Roadmap

The launch reflects Outdoor Holding Company’s disciplined approach to deploying artificial intelligence in ways that directly enhance marketplace functionality, user experience, and economics. Unlike generic AI applications, the Company’s solution is trained on proprietary marketplace data accumulated over nearly three decades, enabling vertical-specific optimization that off-the-shelf tools cannot replicate. The AI-powered listing tool represents one step in a broader technology roadmap. The Company will continue to evaluate and implement responsible AI-driven enhancements aimed at improving user experience, optimizing marketplace performance and unlocking additional operating leverage across its platform.
