On August 22, 2023, DSG issued a press release announcing financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, ended July 29, 2023, and discussed the results on an accompanying earnings call on the same day. In the press release, DSG revealed that profitability for the second quarter was significantly lower than previously represented.

The Company also lowered its profitability guidance for the rest of fiscal 2023.
During the accompanying earnings call, DSG's top officers revealed that demand for products in DSG's Outdoor segment had slowed faster than the Company had previously disclosed, resulting in excess inventory, the liquidation of which had negatively impacted the Company's profitability.
