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 on 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, and specialty vehicles and applications. Some of our products are specifically designed and marketed to some of 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 Form 10-Q, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.” or “United States”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
Fiscal Year Calendar - The Company operates on a 52-53 week fiscal year calendar. For 2023 and 2022, the Company’s fiscal year will end or has ended on December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, respectively. The twelve month periods ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, will include or have included 52 weeks. The three and nine month periods ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 each included 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation - These condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
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. Revenues generated from upfit packages generally do not include the vehicle chassis, as the Company is not the principal in this arrangement and the automotive dealer purchases the chassis directly from the OEM. The Company is required to place a deposit on some vehicle chassis that the dealer purchases directly from the OEM, however that deposit is refunded when the chassis is sold through to the end customer.
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.

(unaudited )
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.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company’s condensed 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.
Reclassifications - We have reclassified certain prior period amounts within our Note 2 - Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to conform to our current period presentation. The reclassifications did not have any impact on net income or other major financial statement line items.
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.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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, accrued liabilities and line of credit approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. Under ASU 2022-04, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose sufficient information to allow a user of the financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. These amendments will be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the interim disclosure requirements, as applicable, during the first quarter of 2023 and will adopt the annual disclosure requirements, except for the annual rollforward, in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company expects to adopt the annual rollforward requirement in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer to the “Bailment Pool Arrangements” section within Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies for further details of this adoption.

7. Debt
Prior Credit Facility
In June 2019, the Company entered into a credit facility with Bank of America and other named lenders, which was 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, and June 11, 2021 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Facility”). The Prior Credit Facility (which was terminated on April 5, 2022 and replaced with the 2022 Credit Facility (as discussed below)), would have matured on March 11, 2025, and provided a senior secured revolving line of credit with a borrowing capacity of $ 250,000 and a term loan of $ 400,000 . The term loan was subject to quarterly amortization payments.
2022 Credit Facility
On April 5, 2022, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and other named lenders (the “2022 Credit Facility”), and concurrently repaid in full and terminated the Prior Credit Facility. The 2022 Credit Facility, which matures on April 5, 2027, provides for revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $ 650,000 .
On April 5, 2022, the Company borrowed $ 475,000 under the 2022 Credit Facility, which was used to repay all outstanding amounts owed under the Prior Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Future advances under the 2022 Credit Facility will be used to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Company. To the extent not previously paid, all then-outstanding amounts under the 2022 Credit Facility are due and payable on the maturity date.

The Company paid $ 1,980 in debt issuance costs in connection with the 2022 Credit Facility, which were allocated to the line of credit and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Additionally, the Company had $ 4,473 of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Prior Credit Facility. The Company expensed $ 1,927 of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs and allocated $ 2,546 to the 2022 Credit Facility.
The Company may borrow, prepay and re-borrow principal under the 2022 Credit Facility during its term. Advances under the 2022 Credit Facility can be either Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans or base rate loans. SOFR rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such calculation plus 0.10 % plus a margin ranging from 1.00 % to 2.00 %. Base rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 %, (ii) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate”, and (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month tenor plus 1.00 %, subject to the interest rate floors set forth therein, plus a margin ranging from 0.00 % to 1.00 %. At September 29, 2023, the one-month SOFR and three-month SOFR rates were 5.32 % and 5.27 %, respectively. At September 29, 2023, our weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowing was 5.31 %.
The 2022 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 September 29, 2023.
The following table summarizes the line of credit under the 2022 Credit Facility:
September 29, 2023 December 30, 2022
Amount outstanding $ 190,000 $ 200,000
Available borrowing capacity 460,000 450,000
Total borrowing capacity $ 650,000 $ 650,000
On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into a swap agreement (the “2021 Swap Agreement”) to obtain a more favorable interest rate and to manage interest rate risk exposure. On April 5, 2022, the Company terminated its 2021 Swap Agreement and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement (the “2022 Swap Agreement”). Through the 2022 Swap Agreement, the Company hedges the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with $ 100,000 of its variable rate debt. Refer to Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging for further details of the 2022 Swap Agreement.

8. 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 - From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company cannot assure the outcome of any 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.
Bailment Pool Arrangements - The Company has relationships with several OEM partners, including General Motors (“GM”), Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), and Chrysler to obtain truck chassis. For Chrysler chassis, the Company pays a cash deposit upon transfer of the chassis to the Company’s premises, and records the chassis within prepaids and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until the chassis is transferred to the dealer customer’s floorplan, at which time the cash deposit is returned to the Company. For GM and Ford, the Company has entered into floorplan financing agreements with the OEM. The Company receives an allocation of chassis and pays interest expense on the allocated value of trucks based on the duration of time they are on the Company’s premises. Bailment, which is the non-ownership transfer of the chassis from GM and Ford to the Company, ends when the vehicle is sold to an authorized dealer, or upon authorized return of the vehicle to the manufacturer. The Company does not pay a cash deposit to obtain GM and Ford chassis, and accordingly it does not recognize an asset or a liability related to these chassis. Interest payments made to manufacturer-affiliated finance companies are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
At September 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, the Company had utilized $ 21,228 and $ 2,634 out of a maximum of $ 43,600 and $ 26,200 of Ford allocation of chassis, respectively, and $ 11,259 and $ 67,149 , respectively, out of a maximum of $ 100,000 GM allocation of chassis. The company incurred $ 740 and $ 4,310 of interest expense related to chassis on hand during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023, respectively.
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 was settled in quarterly installment payments beginning in July 2020 through July 2022, which amounted to $ 6,556 , $ 4,550 and $ 2,700 in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Company paid $ 900 and $ 2,700 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company had no remaining liability as of September 29, 2023. The stock portion of 136 shares were released from escrow on a quarterly basis starting January 2021 through July 2022. The Company released 19 and 58 shares of stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company had no remaining shares to be released as of September 29, 2023. The exercise of the Call Option effectively canceled the put option held by Flagship, Inc.

9. 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 SOFR over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts.
As of September 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, the Company had the following interest rate swap contracts:
September 29, 2023 December 30, 2022
Effective Date Termination Date Notional Amount Unrealized Gain in AOCI Unrealized Gain in AOCI
September 2, 2020 June 11, 2021 $ 200,000 $ 125 $ 189
July 2, 2021 April 5, 2022 $ 200,000 6,055 9,180
April 5, 2022 April 5, 2027 $ 100,000 6,497 5,087
Total $ 12,677 $ 14,456
On June 11, 2021, the Company terminated its existing swap agreement (the “2020 Swap Agreement”) and entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “2021 Swap Agreement”) with a notional amount of $ 200,000 . On April 5, 2022, the Company terminated its 2021 Swap Agreement and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement (the “2022 Swap Agreement”) with a notional amount of $ 100,000 . The terminated 2020 and 2021 Swap Agreements resulted in unrealized gains of $ 324 and $ 12,270 , respectively, at the termination dates that will continue to be accounted for in accumulated other comprehensive income and amortized into earnings over the term of the associated debt instrument.
The 2022 Swap Agreement has a maturity date of April 5, 2027 and is indexed to a three-month Term SOFR (as defined in the 2022 Swap Agreement). The 2022 Swap Agreement met the criteria as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), and is recorded to other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments for additional information on determining the fair value. The unrealized gains or losses, after tax, will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of equity, and are expected to be reclassified into interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income when the forecasted transactions affect earnings. As required under ASC 815, the interest rate swap contracts’ 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 other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023 were a loss of $ 281 and $ 2,219 , respectively; and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were a gain of $ 2,563 and $ 9,296 , respectively.
Over the next twelve months, the Company expects to recognize $ 7,167 of the $ 12,677 of unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swap contracts.

Total $ 3,858 $ 4,289 $ 14,042 $ 11,379
The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the nine months ended September 29, 2023:
Unvested RSUs
Number of shares outstanding Weighted-average grant date fair value
Unvested at December 30, 2022 297 $ 87.05
Granted 129 $ 111.11
Canceled ( 26 ) $ 86.29
Vested ( 139 ) $ 83.85
Unvested at September 29, 2023 261 $ 111.00
As of September 29, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 19,744 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 1.92 years.
During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, 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 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 PSUs is calculated based on the stock price on the date of grant assuming the performance goals will be achieved.

The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s unvested PSUs for the nine months ended September 29, 2023:
Unvested PSUs
Number of shares outstanding Weighted-average grant date fair value
Unvested at December 30, 2022 48 $ 126.69
Granted 44 $ 115.70
Canceled ( 9 ) $ 119.93
Unvested at September 29, 2023 83 $ 139.95
The stock-based compensation expense recognized each period is dependent upon our estimate of the number of shares that will ultimately vest based on the achievement of certain performance conditions. Future stock-based compensation expense for unvested performance-based awards could reach a maximum of $ 10,960 assuming achievement at the maximum level. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.70 years.
12. Income Taxes
For the three months ended For the nine months ended
September 29, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 29, 2023 September 30, 2022
Provision for income taxes $ 3,484 $ 13,365 $ 20,957 $ 28,265
Effective tax rates 9.0 % 20.8 % 15.2 % 15.7 %
For the three months ended September 29, 2023, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate of 9.0 % and the 21 % federal statutory rate was due to a benefit from the U.S. research and development tax credit related to multiple periods and lower tax rate on foreign derived intangible income. These benefits were partially offset by other non-deductible expenses and state taxes.
For the nine months ended September 29, 2023, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from a lower tax rate on foreign derived intangible income and benefit from the U.S. research and development tax credit related to multiple periods. These benefits were partially offset by other non-deductible expenses and state taxes.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate of 20.8 % and the 21% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from a lower tax rate on foreign derived intangible income, partially offset by withholding and state taxes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the 21% federal statutory rate resulted primarily from a lower tax rate on foreign derived intangible income, and the impact of the finalized U.S. tax regulations published by the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service on January 4, 2022. These regulations limit the amount of newly generated foreign taxes that are creditable against U.S. income taxes, which resulted in a release of the Company’s valuation allowance against foreign tax credits due to the Company's ability to use foreign tax credit carryforwards that had previously been reserved against. These benefits were partially offset by withholding and state taxes.
We do not expect the results from any ongoing income tax audits to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
