ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Fox is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Fox’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements issued for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Fox conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on the evaluation, our management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.
Grant Thornton LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company's consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting, which is included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Fox Factory Holding Corp.
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fox Factory Holding Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and redeemable non-controlling interest, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Net realizable value of inventory
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, for estimated excess, obsolete or impaired balances. Management monitors inventory quantities on hand and on order and records write-downs for estimated excess or obsolescence based on estimated demand for products, obsolescence of technology, product life cycles, and when pricing trends or forecasts indicate that the carrying value of inventory exceeds estimated selling price. We identified the net realizable value of inventory for certain product categories as a critical audit matter.
62
Table of Contents
The principal consideration for our determination that the net realizable value of inventory represents a critical audit matter is that the assessment of the valuation of inventory is complex and includes an estimate of forecasted demand. The demand estimate is subjective and requires the Company to consider significant assumptions such as economic conditions, consumer trends, product acceptance and competition, all of which are subject to significant uncertainty and therefore require significant auditor judgement.
Our audit procedures related to the net realizable value of inventory included the following, among others:
• We obtained management’s analysis of parts in inventory and expected customer demand, recalculated inputs into the analysis and tested for completeness. This included, among other inputs, forecasted demand and general ledger balances.
• We tested selected inventory items by making inquiries of management and evaluating the appropriateness of judgments, assumptions and documentation supporting adjustments to the net realizable value of inventory.
• We compared selected 2022 estimated demand to actual customer sales orders and forecasted demand information as provided by the sales and operations team in order to test the accuracy of demand information included in the calculation.
• We performed a retrospective review by comparing previous demand forecasts to actual usage during the year for a sample of items.
• We inquired with management and various staff members outside of the finance function to obtain support for selected forecasted demand inputs as well as to understand macroeconomic and customer specific trends.
• We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to the forecasted demand for the Company’s products as well as management’s review of the net realizable value of inventory.
Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We identified the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credits as a critical audit matter.
The principal considerations for our determination that the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credits represent a critical audit matter are the significance of the Company’s foreign tax credits and the use of forecasted profitability by jurisdiction and source. The forecasts, including future sales and expenses by jurisdiction, are subject to a high level of estimation uncertainty and subjectivity. Additionally, realizability depends on continued implementation of a tax planning strategy. As a result, significant auditor judgment is necessary to audit management’s judgments and assumptions.
Our audit procedures related to the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credits included the following, among others:
• We considered the applicability of the Company’s international transfer pricing arrangements as it relates to the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits.
• We tested the accuracy of the underlying data used in the forecasts by agreeing the baseline 2021 results for selected jurisdictions to general ledger balances.
• We compared the previous year’s forecast of future taxable income with the 2021 actual results to assess management’s ability to accurately estimate future growth.
63
Table of Contents
• We evaluated the appropriateness of the assumptions supporting the future revenue growth rate by jurisdiction.
• We evaluated management’s assumptions with respect to anticipated relief from withholding on intercompany charges paid by selected jurisdictions for consistency and credibility.
• We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to the generation of the forecasts and assumptions that underpin the assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credits.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Fox Factory Holding Corp.
Opinion on internal control over financial reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Fox Factory Holding Corp. (a Delaware corporation) (and subsidiaries) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and our report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“Management’s Report”). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Fox Factory Holding Corp. (the "Company") designs, engineers, manufactures and markets performance-defining products and systems for customers worldwide. Our premium brand, performance-defining products and systems are used primarily for bicycles ("bikes"), side-by-side vehicles ("side-by-sides"), on-road vehicles with and without off-road capabilities, off-road vehicles and trucks, all-terrain vehicles ("ATVs"), snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, motorcycles and commercial trucks. Some of our products are specifically designed and marketed to the leading cycling and powered vehicle original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), while others are distributed to consumers through a global network of dealers and distributors.
Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless stated otherwise or as the context otherwise requires, the "Company," "FOX," "Fox Factory," "we," "us," "our," and "ours" refer to Fox Factory Holding Corp. and its operating subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Fiscal Year Calendar - The Company operates using a 52-53 week fiscal year calendar ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. Therefore, the financial results of certain fiscal years and quarters, which will contain 53 and 14 weeks, respectively, will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent fiscal years and quarters, which contain 52 and 13 weeks, respectively. For the fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company's fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020 and had 52, 52 and 53 weeks, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction - The functional currency of the Company’s non-U.S. entities is the local currency of the respective operations. The Company translates the financial statements of its non-U.S. entities into U.S. Dollars each reporting period for purposes of consolidation. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at the period-end currency exchange rates while sales and expenses are translated at the average currency exchange rates in effect for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are a component of other comprehensive income.
Foreign currency transaction losses of $ 455 , $ 396 , and $ 881 for the years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020, respectively, are included as a component of other income or expense.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash consists of cash maintained in checking or money market accounts. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of 90 days or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are unsecured customer obligations which generally require payment within various terms from the invoice date. The receivables are stated at the invoice amount. Financing terms vary by customer. Invoices are considered past due when payment is not received within the terms stated within the contract. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or if unspecified, generally to the earliest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collected. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible or that may require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for credit losses.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021 the Company held $ 135,142 in cash at U.S. subsidiaries and $ 44,544 at subsidiaries outside the U.S. The account balances may significantly exceed the insurance coverage provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions with reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk. The Company has not experienced any losses in its uninsured accounts.
The Company mitigates its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations and monitoring of its customers’ accounts receivable balances. The following customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company's accounts receivable balance:
December 31, January 1,
2021 2021
Customer A 11 % 12 %
Customer B 10 % 11 %
No other customers were individually significant in any of these periods presented.
The Company depends on a limited number of vendors to supply component parts for its products. The Company purchased 32 %, 28 %, and 35 % of its product components for the years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020, respectively, from ten vendors. As of December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, amounts due to these vendors represented 10 % and 17 % of accounts payable, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses - The Company records a provision for credit losses based on historical experience and a detailed assessment of the collectability of its accounts receivable. The provision is based on how long a receivable has been outstanding, taking into account the historical credit loss rate and adjusting for both current conditions and forecasts of economic conditions into that expected credit loss rate. If circumstances change, such as higher-than-expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of the amounts due could be reduced by a material amount.
The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses:
For the fiscal years ended
Allowance for credit losses: 2021 2020 2019
Balance, beginning of year $ 663 $ 810 $ 600
Add: bad debt (benefit) expense ( 14 ) 103 335
Less: write-offs, net of recoveries ( 239 ) ( 250 ) ( 125 )
Balance, end of year $ 410 $ 663 $ 810
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost (or standard cost which generally approximates actual costs on a first-in first-out basis) or net realizable value. Cost includes raw materials and inbound freight, as well as direct labor and manufacturing overhead for products we manufacture. Net realizable value is based on current replacement cost for raw materials and on a net realizable value for finished goods. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the period realized.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease, or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The value assigned to land associated with buildings we own is not amortized. Depreciation and amortization periods for the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:
Asset Classification Estimated useful life
Building and building improvements 15 - 39 years
Information systems, office equipment and furniture 3 - 7 years
Internal-use computer software 10 years
Land improvements 15 years
Machinery and manufacturing equipment 5 - 15 years
Transportation equipment 3 - 5 years
Internal-use Computer Software Costs - Costs incurred to purchase and develop computer software for internal use are capitalized during the application development and implementation stages. These software costs have been for enterprise-level business and finance software that is customized to meet the Company’s operational needs. Capitalized costs are included in property and equipment and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software beginning when the software project is substantially complete and placed in service. The Company capitalized $ 5,847 in internal use computer software costs during the year ended December 31, 2021. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and costs for training, data conversion, and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets - The Company periodically reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is impaired or the estimated useful lives are no longer appropriate. If indicators of impairment exist and the undiscounted projected cash flows associated with such assets are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded to write the assets down to their estimated fair values. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows. No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020.
Business Combinations - The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. During the measurement period, the Company records adjustments to provisional amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the measurement period, which could be up to one year after the transaction date, subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets - Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. On an annual basis, the Company makes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the Company determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it will perform a quantitative analysis; otherwise, no further evaluation is necessary. For the quantitative impairment assessment, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on a weighting of income and market approaches. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company will recognize a loss equal to the excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Impairments, if any, are charged directly to earnings. We completed our most recent annual impairment test in the third quarter of 2021 at which time we had a single reporting unit for purposes of assessing goodwill impairment. No impairment charges have been incurred to date.
Intangible assets including customer relationships, certain trademarks, and the Company’s core technology, are subject to amortization over their respective useful lives, and are classified in intangibles, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. These intangibles are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value might not be recoverable, projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated remaining useful lives is compared against their respective carrying amounts. If an asset is found to be impaired, the impairment charge will be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of an entity exceeds its fair value. Certain trademarks and brands are considered to be indefinite life intangibles, and are not amortized but are subject to testing for impairment annually. No impairments of intangible assets were identified in the years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020.
Self-Insurance - The Company is partially self-insured for its U.S. employee health and welfare benefits. The Company’s liability for self-insurance is based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims information, when determining the amount of the accrual. Costs related to the administration of the plan and related claims are expensed as incurred. The Company has third-party insurance coverage to limit exposure for individually significant claims. The estimates for unpaid claims incurred as of December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 are $ 1,754 and $ 1,472 respectively, and are recorded within accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are generated from the sale of performance-defining products and systems to customers worldwide. The Company’s performance-defining products and systems are solutions that improve performance of powered vehicles and bikes. Powered vehicles include side-by-sides, on-road vehicles with off-road capabilities, off-road vehicles and trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, and motorcycles.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer, generally at the time of shipment. Contracts are generally in the form of purchase orders and are governed by standard terms and conditions. For larger OEMs, the Company may also enter into master agreements. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenues.
Provisions for discounts, rebates, sales incentives, returns, and other adjustments are generally provided for in the period the related sales are recorded, based on management’s assessment of historical trends and projection of future results. Certain pricing provisions that provide the customer with future discounts are considered a material right. Such material rights result in the deferral of revenues that are recognized when the rights are exercised by the customer. Measuring the material rights requires judgments including forecasts of future sales and product mix.
Cost of Sales - Cost of sales primarily consists of materials and labor expense in the manufacturing of the Company’s products sold to customers. Cost of sales also includes provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, warranty costs, certain allocated costs for facilities, depreciation and other manufacturing overhead. Additionally, it includes stock-based compensation for personnel directly involved with manufacturing the Company’s product offerings.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs - The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in sales. Shipping costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized as part of inventory and included in cost of sales as products are sold.

Sales and Marketing - Sales and marketing expenses include costs related to sales, customer service and marketing personnel, including their wages, employee benefits and related stock-based compensation, and occupancy related expenses. Other significant sales and marketing expenses include race support and sponsorships of events and athletes, advertising and promotions related to trade shows, travel and entertainment, and promotional materials, products and sales offices costs.
Research and Development - Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel costs, including wages, employee benefits and related stock-based compensation for the Company’s engineering, research and development teams, occupancy related expenses, fees for third party consultants, service fees, and expenses for prototype tooling and materials, travel, and supplies. The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
General and Administrative - General and administrative expenses include costs related to executive, finance, information technology, human resources and administrative personnel, including wages, employee benefits and related stock-based compensation expenses. The Company records professional and contract service expenses, occupancy related expenses associated with corporate locations and equipment, and legal expenses in general and administrative expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company measures stock-based compensation for all stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), based on their estimated fair values on the date of the grant and recognizes the stock-based compensation cost for time-vested awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For performance-based RSUs, the number of shares ultimately expected to vest is estimated at each reporting date based on management’s expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria. To the extent shares are expected to vest, the stock-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company does not estimate forfeitures in recognizing stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has elected to account for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") in the year the tax is incurred, rather than recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years. The net GILTI inclusion for the year ended December 31, 2021 was fully offset by foreign tax credits associated with the income.
The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as sales and marketing expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. Costs incurred for advertising totaled $ 2,741 , $ 2,188 , and $ 1,413 for the years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020, respectively.
Warranties - The Company offers limited warranties on its products generally for one to two years . The Company recognizes estimated costs related to warranty activities as a component of cost of sales upon product shipment. The estimates are based upon historical product failure rates and historical costs incurred in correcting product failures. The recorded amount is adjusted from time to time for specifically identified warranty exposures. Actual warranty expenses are charged against the Company’s estimated warranty liability when incurred. Factors that affect the Company’s liability include the number of units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and the cost per claim.

Segments - The Company has determined that it has a single operating and reportable segment; manufacturing, sale and service of performance-defining products. The Company considers operating segments to be components of the Company in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments - The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , that requires the valuation of assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Amounts owed under the Company's credit facility approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate features embedded in both the line of credit and term debt.
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties - The Company is subject to those risks common in manufacturing-driven markets, including, but not limited to, competitive forces, dependence on key personnel, customer demand for its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations, and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing when needed. Additionally, the Company has been impacted by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak. The global outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. Despite the Company’s efforts to manage and remedy these impacts to the Company, the ultimate impact and the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect the business, results of operation and financial condition is difficult to predict and depends on numerous evolving factors outside of the Company’s control including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; government, social, business and other actions that have been and will be taken in response to the pandemic; and the effect of the pandemic on short and long-term general economic conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which helps simplify how entities account for income taxes by removing various exceptions related to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and updating other tax computation requirements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The adoption of ASU 2021-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The amendments in ASU 2020-10 contain improvements to the Codification to ensure consistency by including disclosure guidance in the appropriate Disclosure Section. This guidance includes an option for an entity to provide certain information either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. The ASU also provides clarification to various codification topics to improve consistency in guidance application. The amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. Under ASU 2021-08, an acquirer must recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to early adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2022. This adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

6. Leases
The Company has operating lease agreements for administrative, research and development, manufacturing, and sales and marketing facilities. These leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one to ten years , some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years , and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year . Certain leases are subject to annual escalations as specified in the lease agreements. The Company considered these options in determining the lease term used to establish its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. These lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
As most of the Company's leases do not provide an interest rate, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted-average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases was 4.90 years and the weighted-average incremental borrowing rate was 2.30 % as of December 31, 2021.
Operating lease costs consisted of the following:
For the fiscal years ended

10. Debt
Credit Facility
In June 2019, the Company entered into a credit facility with Bank of America and other named lenders, which has been periodically amended and restated and/or amended. The credit facility was amended and restated on March 11, 2020, and further amended on June 19, 2020, June 11, 2021 and December 16, 2021 (as amended to date, the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility, which matures on March 11, 2025, provides a senior secured revolving line of credit with a borrowing capacity of $ 250,000 and a term loan of $ 400,000 . The term loan is subject to quarterly amortization payments.
The Company paid $ 7,615 in debt issuance costs, of which $ 6,458 were allocated to the term debt and $ 1,157 were allocated to the line of credit. Loan fees allocated to the term debt will be amortized using the interest method and loan fees allocated to the line of credit will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility provides for interest at a rate either based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.00 % to 2.25 %, with a floor rate of 0.0%, or based on the base rate offered by Bank of America plus a margin ranging from 0.00 % to 1.25 %. At December 31, 2021, the one-month LIBOR and prime rates were 0.10 % and 3.25 %, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, our weighted average interest rates on outstanding borrowing were 1.31 % and 1.62 %, respectively. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, restricts the Company's ability to make certain payments and engage in certain transactions, and requires that the Company satisfy customary financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2021.
On June 11, 2021, the Company terminated its existing swap agreement and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement to obtain a more favorable interest rate and to manage interest rate risk exposure, which was effective July 2, 2021. Through the interest rate swap agreement, the Company hedges the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with $ 200,000 of its variable rate term debt. Refer to Note 11. " Derivatives and Hedging " for further details of this agreement.
The Credit Facility permits up to $ 25,000 of the aggregate revolving commitment to be used by the Company for issuance of letters of credit, of which $ 15,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2021.

11. Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to limit its exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts.
As of December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, the Company had the following interest rate swap contracts:
December 31, 2021 January 1, 2021
Effective Date Termination Date Notional Amount Unrealized Gain (Loss) in AOCI Unrealized Gain (Loss) in AOCI
September 2, 2020 June 11, 2021 $ 200,000 $ 276 $ ( 915 )
July 2, 2021 March 11, 2025 $ 200,000 3,583 —
Total $ 3,859 $ ( 915 )
On June 11, 2021, the Company terminated its existing swap agreement and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $ 200,000 . The terminated swap resulted in an unrealized gain of $ 324 at the termination date that will continue to be accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income and amortized into earnings over the term of the associated debt instrument.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)
The new swap agreement (the "Interest Rate Swap") has a maturity date of March 11, 2025 and is indexed to a one-month LIBOR with a fixed leg of 0.50 %. The Interest Rate Swap met the criteria for cash flow hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is recorded in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 16. " Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments " for additional information on determining the fair value. The unrealized gains or losses, after tax, are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, a component of equity, and are expected to be reclassified into interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income when the forecasted transactions affect earnings. As required under ASC 815, the Interest Rate Swap’s effectiveness will be assessed on a quarterly basis using a quantitative regression analysis.
The gains and losses, net of tax, related to the effective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 were a gain of $ 3,645 and a loss of $ 699 , respectively. The gains and losses, related to the effective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges recognized in Interest Expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021 were losses of $ 600 and $ 115 , respectively.
Unrealized losses of $ 814 included in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the Interest Rate Swap are expected to be recognized in interest expense over the next twelve months.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification Agreements - In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Legal Proceedings - SRAM, LLC (“SRAM”) filed (i) a lawsuit on December 17, 2015 in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, against RFE Holding (Canada) Corp. (“RFE Canada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fox Factory Holding Corp. (“Fox Factory”), alleging patent infringement of U.S. Patent number 9,182,027 (“027 Patent”) and violation of the Lanham Act, and (ii) a second lawsuit on May 16, 2016 in the same court against RFE Canada alleging patent infringement of U.S. Patent number 9,291,250 (“250 Patent” and, together with 027 Patent, the “Applicable SRAM Chainring Patents”).
In addition, Fox Factory, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Factory) filed (i) a lawsuit on January 29, 2016 in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California against SRAM alleging SRAM’s infringement of two separate Fox Factory, Inc. owned patents, specifically U.S. Patent number 6,135,434, and (ii) a second lawsuit on July 1, 2016 in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California against SRAM alleging infringement of Fox Factory, Inc.’s U.S. Patent numbers 8,226,172 and 8,974,009 (collectively, the “Applicable Fox Axle Patents”) (which actions were later moved to U.S. District Court, District of Colorado).
As previously disclosed on December 22, 2021, Fox Factory entered into a Settlement and License Agreement with SRAM that, among other things, provides (i) all claims amongst the parties in the aforementioned complaints shall be dismissed with prejudice, without any admission of liability or fault by any party, (ii) SRAM granted Fox Factory a non-exclusive license to make and use products and services covered by the Applicable SRAM Chainring Patents under the FOX brand in exchange for specified royalty rates, (iii) Fox Factory granted SRAM a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to make and use products and services covered by the Applicable Fox Axle Patents under the SRAM brand, and (iv) the exchange of mutual releases by the parties.
From time to time, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company cannot assure the outcome of such legal proceedings, based on information currently available, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any pending matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Commitments - On November 30, 2017, the Company through FF US Holding Corp., acquired the assets of Flagship, Inc. d/b/a Tuscany and issued a 20% interest in FF US Holding Corp. to Flagship, Inc. A stockholders' agreement with Flagship, Inc. provided the Company with a call option (the "Call Option") to acquire the remaining 20 % of FF US Holding Corp. at any time from November 30, 2019 through November 30, 2024 at a value that approximates fair market value. On July 22, 2020, the Company exercised the Call Option and, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with Flagship, Inc., the Company purchased the remaining 20 % interest for $ 24,975 payable in a combination of stock and cash. The cash portion will be settled in quarterly installment payments through July 2022, which amount to $ 6,556 , $ 4,550 and $ 2,700 in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company paid $ 4,550 during the year ended December 31, 2021. The stock portion of 136 shares held in escrow is released quarterly as of January 2021 through July 2022. The Company released 78 during the year ended December 31, 2021. The exercise of the Call Option effectively canceled the put option held by Flagship, Inc.
Other Contingencies - On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court (the “Court”) decided South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., et al., holding that internet retailers do not have to maintain a physical presence in a state in order to be required to collect the state’s sales and use tax. As a result of the Court’s decision, most states enacted legislation to require sellers who meet economic nexus thresholds to register, collect and remit sales and use taxes on transactions with out-of-state customers. The Company believes that it is possible that it will incur a liability for uncollected sales tax on some portion of its e-commerce sales through December 31, 2021. Based on information currently available, any retroactively imposed liability is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position because direct end-user sales in states where the Company is not registered comprise a small portion of total revenues.
13. Stockholders' Equity
S econdary Stock Offering
In June 2020, the Company completed a secondary offering whereby it sold 2,760 shares of its common stock at a price of $ 76.00 per share for gross proceeds of $ 209,760 . The net proceeds to the Company after underwriters' discounts and commissions of $ 11,015 and $ 511 of offering costs was $ 198,233 . The total shares sold included 360 shares that were sold in connection with the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. This offering was made pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-3.
The Company did not incur any expenses related to secondary offerings during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and January 3, 2020.
Equity Incentive Plans
The Company has outstanding awards under the following equity incentive plans: the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the "2008 Plan"), the 2008 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the "2008 Non-Statutory Plan") and the 2013 Omnibus Plan (the "2013 Plan"). No further awards will be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan or the 2008 Non-Statutory Plan. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company has the ability to issue incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs, performance units and/or performance shares.
The equity incentive plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, which has the authority to determine the type of incentive award, as well as the terms and conditions of the awards. Options granted under the plans have vesting periods ranging from one to five years and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. RSUs generally vest over a three to four-year period with equal annual installments beginning at the end of one year and the remaining vesting annually thereafter. In addition to time-based vesting criteria, certain of our RSUs include performance-based vesting criteria. As of December 31, 2021, there were 1,712 shares reserved for issuance under the Company's equity incentive plans and 1,298 shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan. The Company generally issues new shares in connection with awards under its equity incentive plans.

Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation expense related to the Company's share-based awards for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021, and January 3, 2020 was $ 13,914 , $ 8,618 , and $ 6,864 , respectively, all of which related to RSUs. No compensation expense related to stock options was incurred during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021, and January 3, 2020.
The following table summarizes the allocation of stock-based compensation in the accompanying consolidated statements of income:
For the fiscal years ended
2021 2020 2019
Cost of sales $ 710 $ 625 $ 802
Sales and marketing 803 635 506
Research and development 944 788 721
General and administrative 11,457 6,570 4,835
Total $ 13,914 $ 8,618 $ 6,864
As of January 1, 2021, $ 421 of stock-based compensation expense related to our executive bonus plan was included in Accrued Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount was recognized as additional paid in capital during the year ended December 31, 2021 upon the issuance of the underlying restricted stock units.
Stock-based compensation expense capitalized to inventory was not material for the years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company grants both time-based and performance-based stock awards, which also include a time-based vesting feature. Compensation expense for time-based stock awards is measured at the grant date based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock, and recognized ratably over the vesting period.
For performance-based stock awards, compensation expense is measured based on estimates of the number of shares ultimately expected to vest at each reporting date based on management’s expectations regarding the relevant performance criteria. The recognition of compensation expense associated with performance-based stock awards requires defined criteria for assessing achievement and judgment in assessing the probability of meeting the performance goals.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $ 17,585 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.05 years.
Performance Stock Units
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain executives that represent shares potentially issuable in the future. Issuance is based upon the Company's performance, over a 2 - 3 year performance period, on certain measures including return on invested capital and free cash flow. The PSUs vest only upon the achievement of the applicable performance goals for the performance period, and, depending on the actual achievement on the performance goals, the grantee may earn between 0 % and 200 % of the target PSUs. The fair value of performance share units is calculated based on the stock price on the date of grant.

14. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to Fox Factory Holding Corp. stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS amounts are computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock units, which are reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
For the fiscal years ended
2021 2020 2019
Net income attributable to FOX stockholders $ 163,818 $ 90,674 $ 93,033
Weighted average shares used to compute basic earnings per share 42,022 40,229 38,333
Dilutive effect of employee stock plans 344 572 822
Weighted average shares used to compute diluted earnings per share 42,366 40,801 39,155
Earnings per share:
Basic $ 3.90 $ 2.25 $ 2.43
Diluted $ 3.87 $ 2.22 $ 2.38
The Company excluded some potentially dilutive shares from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021, as these shares would have been antidilutive. No potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had foreign tax credits of 48,329 that begin to expire in 2025, unless previously utilized.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company assessed the realizability of deferred tax assets and evaluated the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction based on the framework of ASC 740. As a result of the TCJA, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that a portion of its foreign tax credits will not be realizable, and as such, provided an allowance of $ 7,172 as of January 1, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the valuation allowance increased by $ 2,051 , due to a generation of additional foreign tax credits from the foreign derived earnings. The valuation allowance for foreign tax credits was $ 9,161 as of December 31, 2021. Other components of the valuation allowance were not significant. It is reasonably possible that the Company could record a material adjustment to the valuation allowance in the next twelve months as management assesses the progress and outcome of its plans to alter the generation and utilization of foreign tax credits.

16. Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments
The FASB's Accounting Standards Codification 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" requires the valuation of assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value based on hierarchy of available inputs as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table presents the Company's hierarchy for its assets, liabilities and redeemable non-controlling interest measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the following periods:
December 31, 2021 January 1, 2021
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:
Interest Rate Swap — 3,583 — 3,583 — — — —
Total assets measured at fair value $ — $ 3,583 $ — $ 3,583 $ — $ — $ — $ —
Liabilities:
Credit Facility $ — $ 378,453 $ — $ 378,453 $ — $ 389,588 $ — $ 389,588
Interest Rate Swap — — — — — 915 — 915
Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ 378,453 $ — $ 378,453 $ — $ 390,503 $ — $ 390,503
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 categories of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2021, and January 1, 2021.
The Company used Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of the Credit Facility. The Company believes the carrying amount of its Credit Facility approximates the fair value at December 31, 2021 because, while subject to a minimum LIBOR floor rate, the interest rate approximates current market rates of debt with similar terms and comparable credit risk.

On June 11, 2021 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. Refer to Note 11. " Derivatives and Hedging " for additional details of the agreement. In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Interest rate swap contract is recognized as an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is measured at fair value. The fair value was calculated utilizing Level 2 inputs.
17. Retirement Plan
The Company established a 401(k) plan to provide tax deferred salary deductions for all eligible employees. Participants may make voluntary contributions to the 401(k) plan, limited by certain IRS restrictions. The Company made matching contributions of $ 2,655 , $ 2,078 , and $ 1,153 for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020, respectively.
18. Acquisitions
On March 11, 2020, the Company, through Fox Factory, Inc., acquired 100 % of the issued and outstanding stock of SCA from Southern Rocky Holdings, LLC for $ 331,853 , net of cash acquired and exclusive of vehicle inventory. SCA is a leading OEM authorized specialty vehicle manufacturer for light duty trucks and SUVs with headquarters in Trussville, Alabama. SCA operates under three aftermarket brands: SCA Performance, Rocky Ridge Trucks, and Rocky Mountain Truckworks. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
The Company also agreed to an additional $ 10,589 of contingent retention incentives for key SCA management, of which $ 9,283 is cash and $ 1,306 is stock, to be held in escrow and payable over the next two years. The Company recognized $ 4,680 and $ 4,211 in costs associated with such retention incentives during the years ended December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2021, respectively.
The Company’s allocation of the purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
Fair market values
Tangible assets acquired $ 28,678
Liabilities assumed ( 32,479 )
Intangible assets 139,900
Goodwill 195,754
Total $ 331,853
The Company incurred $ 10,582 of acquisition costs in conjunction with the SCA acquisition, including $ 1,750 of transaction compensation during the year ended January 1, 2021 and $ 602 of transaction costs during the year ended January 3, 2020. These costs are classified as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Additional debt issuance costs of $ 6,622 were incurred in association with financing the transaction and will be amortized over the term of the Credit Facility. Refer to Note 10. " Debt " for further details.
The values assigned to the identifiable intangible assets were determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows associated with these assets to their present value. The goodwill of $ 195,754 reflects the strategic fit of SCA with the Company’s operations. The Company will amortize the acquired customer relationships assets over their expected useful lives of 5 - 10 years. Trademarks, brand names and goodwill are expected to have an indefinite life, and will be subject to impairment testing. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. SCA previously purchased intangibles in asset acquisitions with a remaining net tax basis approximating $ 77,989 , which the Company may deduct for income tax purposes.
