CLARUS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clarus Corporation and subsidiaries (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “Clarus,” “we,” “us” or “our”) as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2023. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2023.
Nature of Business
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, we are a global leading designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of best-in-class outdoor equipment and lifestyle products focused on the outdoor and consumer enthusiast markets. Our mission is to identify, acquire and grow outdoor “super fan” brands through our unique “innovate and accelerate” strategy. We define a “super fan” brand as a brand that creates the world’s pre-eminent, performance-defining product that the best-in-class user cannot live without. Each of our brands has a long history of continuous product innovation for core and everyday users alike. The Company’s products are principally sold globally under the Black Diamond®, Sierra®, Barnes®, Rhino-Rack® and MAXTRAX® brand names through outdoor specialty and online retailers, our own websites, distributors and original equipment manufacturers.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates relate to the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations, provision for excess or obsolete inventory, allowance for credit losses, and valuation of contingent consideration liabilities, deferred tax assets, long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, projected future cash flows, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On April 18, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the “Restated Credit Agreement”).
The Restated Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $ 300,000 under a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loans”) (including up to $ 5,000 for letters of credit), and borrowings of up to $ 125,000 under a secured term loan facility (the “Term Loans”). The Restated Credit Agreement also permits the Company, subject to certain requirements, to arrange with lenders for an aggregate of up to $ 175,000 of additional revolving and/or term loan commitments (both of which are currently uncommitted), for potential aggregate revolving and term loan commitments under the Restated Credit Agreement of up to $ 600,000 . The Restated Credit Agreement matures on April 18, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the revolving commitments thereunder will terminate and all outstanding Revolving Loans and Term Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, must be repaid.
All obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are secured by our subsidiary equity interests, as well as accounts receivable, inventory, intellectual property and certain other assets owned by the Company. The Restated Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions or other restricted payments if certain conditions in the Restated Credit Agreement are not fulfilled. The Restated Credit Agreement also includes other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants relating to the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2023.
(a) As of September 30, 2023, the Company had drawn $ 10,380 on the revolving loan, with a maturity date of April 18, 2027 . Approximately $ 17,000 in additional funds were available to borrow on the revolving loan at September 30, 2023, while maintaining compliance with the consolidated total leverage ratio per the Restated Credit Agreement of 3.75 to 1. The Company pays interest monthly on any borrowings on the Restated Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the rates were approximately 7.7 % and 6.3 % , respectively.
(b) Foreign subsidiaries of the Company had a revolving credit facility, which matured on March 31, 2023, and term debt with financial institutions, which mature between November 16, 2023 and August 8, 2024 . The foreign subsidiaries paid interest monthly on any borrowings on the credit facility as well as monthly payments on the term debt. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rates ranged between approximately 3.1 % and 3.2 % and as of December 31, 2022, the interest rates ranged between approximately 1.3 % and 4.0 % . The credit facility was secured by certain assets of the foreign subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility was settled and closed as of March 31, 2023 and had no amounts outstanding.

(c) The Company is required to repay the term loan through quarterly payments of $ 1,563 each beginning with June 30, 2022 , increasing to $ 3,125 each beginning with June 30, 2023 , and any remaining obligations will be repaid in full on the maturity date of the Restated Credit Agreement of April 18, 2027 . The Company pays interest monthly on any borrowings on the Restated Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the rates were approximately 7.7 % and 6.3 % , respectively.
NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts. If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges. The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the expected cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the expected cash flow of the hedged item.
At September 30, 2023, the Company’s derivative contracts had remaining maturities of less than one year . The counterparties to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings. The maximum net exposure of the Company’s credit risk to the counterparties is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty. As of September 30, 2023, there was no such exposure to the counterparties. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of $ 730 on all contracts as of September 30, 2023. The Company’s derivative counterparties have strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.
The Company held the following contracts designated as hedging instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. No nonrecurring fair value measurements existed at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Company estimated the initial fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities primarily using a series of call options. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation included discount rates ranging from 4.8 % to 8.0 %. Contingent consideration liabilities are subsequently remeasured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period using financial projections of the acquired company, such as sales-based milestones and estimated probabilities of achievement, with the change in fair value recognized in contingent consideration benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for such period. We measure the initial liability and remeasure the liability on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.
The following table summarizes the changes in contingent consideration liabilities:

As the contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period, significant increases or decreases in projected sales, discount rates or the time until payment is made could have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The net sales threshold required for the final payment of the MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration was not met during the measurement period ended June 30, 2023.
NOTE 10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On August 6, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend program of $ 0.025 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Quarterly Cash Dividend”) or $ 0.10 per share on an annualized basis. The declaration and payment of future Quarterly Cash Dividends is subject to the discretion of and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. On November 3, 2023 , the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment on November 24, 2023 of the Quarterly Cash Dividend of $ 0.025 to the record holders of shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on November 14, 2023 .
NOTE 11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations.
The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share:

NOTE 12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
Under the Company’s current 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Company’s Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2015 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2015 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500 shares. The 2015 Plan will continue in effect until December 2025 unless terminated sooner.
Options Granted:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued stock options for an aggregate of 75 shares under the 2015 Plan to directors of the Company. All 75 options vest and become exercisable over a period of one year . All of the issued stock options expire ten years from the date of the grant.
For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Options Granted During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Number of options

(a) Expected volatility is based upon the Company’s historical volatility.
(b) The expected term was determined based upon the underlying terms of the awards and the category and employment history of employee award recipient.
The grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 186 , which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

Market Condition Restricted Shares Granted:
On March 14, 2023, the Company awarded the Executive Chairman 500 restricted shares under the 2015 Plan, of which 250 and 250 shares will vest if, on or before March 14, 2033, the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded $ 15.00 and $ 18.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days, respectively. As the vesting terms of the restricted shares include a market condition, the fair value of the restricted stock was estimated as of the date of grant using the Monte-Carlo pricing model with the following assumptions:
March 14, 2023
Number issued
500
Vesting period
$ 15.00 - $ 18.00 stock price target
Grant price (per share)

Risk-free interest rate
3.64 %
Expected term (years)
2.56 - 3.22
Weighted average fair value (per share)
$ 7.84 - $ 8.34
Using these assumptions, the grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards was approximately $ 4,046 and the expected term was between 2.56 and 3.22 years.
The total non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted stock, stock options and stock awards recorded by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 1,168 and $ 2,220 , respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $ 4,037 and $ 9,142 , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the majority of stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
As of September 30, 2023, there were 388 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $ 1,517 related to unvested stock options, as well as 1,617 unvested restricted stock awards and unrecognized compensation costs of $ 8,033 related to unvested restricted stock awards.
NOTE 13. RESTRUCTURING
From time to time, the Company incurs expenses to facilitate long-term sustainable growth through cost reduction actions, consisting of employee reductions, facility rationalization and contract termination costs. These costs include severance costs, exit costs and other restructuring costs and are included in Restructuring charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Severance costs primarily consist of severance benefits through payroll continuation, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities, while exit costs primarily consist of lease exit and contract termination costs. Other costs consisted primarily of costs related to the discontinuance of certain product lines and were distinguishable and directly attributable to the Company’s restructuring initiative and not a result of external market factors associated with the ongoing business.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.
The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Anticipated costs related to litigation matters are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, except for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) matter discussed below. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company at this time. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a material effect. See Part II, Item 1. “Legal Proceedings.” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
By letter dated October 12, 2023, Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. (“BDEL”) was notified by the CPSC that the agency staff concluded the Company failed to timely meet its statutory reporting obligations under the Consumer Product Safety Act with respect to certain models of BDEL’s avalanche transceivers switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode, that we made a material misrepresentation in a report to the CPSC, and that the agency staff intends to recommend that the CPSC impose substantial civil monetary penalties. We disagree with the agency staff and intend to submit a comprehensive refutation of its findings and conclusions in addition to discussing the amount of a potential penalty; however, the CPSC may ultimately disagree with us, and we cannot assure on what terms this matter will be resolved.

Based on currently available information, the Company cannot estimate the amount of the loss (or range of loss) in connection with this matter. We believe it is reasonably possible that a change in our ability to estimate the amount of loss could occur in the near term and that the change in the estimate could be material. In addition, as this matter is ongoing, the Company is currently unable to predict its duration, resources required or outcome, or the impact it may have on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows. A penalty imposed by the CPSC or other regulators could be costly to us and could damage our business and reputation as well as have a material adverse effect on the Company’s compliance with the covenants contained in the Company’s Restated Credit Agreement, liquidity, stock price, consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 % and its foreign operations have statutory tax rates of approximately 24 % in Austria, 28 % in New Zealand, and 30 % in Australia.
The difference between the Company’s estimated effective tax rate benefit of 13.9 % for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 % was primarily due to the impact of stock compensation, research and experimentation expenditures and credits, transaction costs, and discrete stock option shortfalls in the third quarter of 2023.
The difference between the Company’s estimated effective tax rate benefit of 23.9 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 % was primarily due to the impact of stock compensation, research and experimentation expenditures and credits, and discrete stock option shortfalls in the first three quarters of 2023.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $ 32,972 . The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $ 3,323 , resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $ 29,649 , before deferred tax liabilities of $ 30,243 . The Company has provided a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, because the ultimate realization of those assets did not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria. The majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for federal tax purposes. If a change in control were to occur, these could be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended.
In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and net operating loss and credit carryforwards expire. The estimates and judgments associated with the Company’s valuation allowance on deferred tax assets are considered critical due to the amount of deferred tax assets recorded by the Company on its consolidated balance sheet and the judgment required in determining the Company’s future taxable income. The need for a valuation allowance is reassessed at each interim reporting period.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had NOLs and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $ 18,908 and $ 2,629 , respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal NOLs will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes until expiration.

NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate our business structure within three segments. These segments are defined based on the internal financial reporting used by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Certain significant selling and general and administrative expenses are not allocated to the segments including non-cash stock compensation expense. Each segment is described below:
● Our Outdoor segment, which includes Black Diamond Equipment, PIEPS, and SKINourishment, is a global leader in designing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative outdoor engineered equipment and apparel for climbing, mountaineering, trail running, backpacking, skiing, and a wide range of other year-round outdoor recreation activities. Our Outdoor segment offers a broad range of products including: high-performance, activity-based apparel (such as shells, insulation, midlayers, pants and logowear); rock-climbing footwear and equipment (such as carabiners, protection devices, harnesses, belay devices, helmets, and ice-climbing gear); technical backpacks and high-end day packs; trekking poles; headlamps and lanterns; gloves and mittens; and skincare and other sport-enhancing products. We also offer advanced skis, ski poles, ski skins, and snow safety products, including avalanche airbag systems, avalanche transceivers, shovels, and probes.
● Our Precision Sport segment, which includes Sierra and Barnes, includes two iconic American manufacturers of a wide range of high-performance bullets and ammunition for both rifles and pistols. These bullets are used for precision target shooting, hunting and military and law enforcement purposes.
● Our Adventure segment, which includes Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX, is a manufacturer of highly-engineered automotive roof racks, trays, mounting systems, luggage boxes, carriers, recovery boards and accessories in Australia and New Zealand and a growing presence in the United States.
As noted above, the Company has a wide variety of technical outdoor equipment and lifestyle products that are sold to a variety of customers in multiple end markets. While there are multiple products sold, the terms and nature of revenue recognition policy is similar for all segments.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
TRED Acquisition
On September 13, 2023, Clarus, through Oscar Aluminium Pty Ltd (“Oscar Aluminium”), an indirect wholly-owned Australian subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “TRED Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Oscar Aluminium, Clarus, and Venlo Holdings Pty Ltd (the “Seller”) to acquire Australian-based TRED Outdoors Pty Ltd. (“TRED”). On October 9, 2023, the transaction contemplated by the TRED Purchase Agreement was consummated. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of closing of the acquisition of TRED (the “TRED Acquisition”).
Under the terms of the TRED Purchase Agreement, Oscar Aluminium acquired TRED for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $AUD 11,765 (approximately $ 7,500 ), subject to a post-closing adjustment. The purchase price consideration was comprised of approximately $AUD 9,000 (approximately $ 5,740 ) cash, and approximately 179 shares of the Company’s common stock. The TRED Purchase Agreement also provides for the payment of additional contingent consideration of up to approximately $AUD 1,000 (approximately $ 640 ) cash upon the satisfaction of certain net sales

targets. The shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Seller are subject to a lock-up agreement restricting sales for 90 days from the closing of the TRED Acquisition.
Based upon the timing of the TRED Acquisition, the initial accounting is not yet complete as the Company gathers additional information related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of certain intangible assets. The preliminary application of acquisition accounting to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the results of operations of TRED, will first be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial results as of the year ended December 31, 2023. The operating results of TRED are expected to be included within the Adventure segment. Acquisition-related costs for the TRED Acquisition, which were included in transaction costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $ 360 .
