    Makes Incremental Progress Executing Strategic Initiatives to Accelerate Long-Term Growth

    Three Veteran Operating and Sales Executives Added to Adventure Team to Support U.S., International and OEM Markets

    Strategic Review Initiated for PIEPS Snow Safety Brand within the Outdoor Segment

    SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ:CLAR) ("Clarus" and/or the "Company"), a global company focused on the outdoor enthusiast markets, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    Second Quarter 2024 Financial Summary vs. Same Year‐Ago Quarter (adjusted to reflect the reclassification of the Precision Sport segment as discontinued operations)

    • Sales of $56.5 million compared to $57.9 million.
    • Gross margin was 36.1% compared to 39.0%; adjusted gross margin of 37.4% compared to 39.0%.
    • Net loss, which includes the impact of discontinued operations, of $5.5 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share.
    • Loss from continuing operations of $5.5 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to loss from continuing operations of $4.3 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share.
    • Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $(1.9) million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of (3.4)% compared to $1.0 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 1.7%.

    Management Commentary

    "Against a backdrop of constrained consumers in the outdoor space, we made incremental progress in the second quarter executing Clarus' strategic initiatives to seek to create long-term value," said Warren Kanders, Clarus' Executive Chairman. "We are pleased to see continued improvement in the Outdoor segment, particularly related to simplification and the rationalization of product lines, combined with continued evidence of stabilizing trends in the North American wholesale market, as we focus on our core products and categories. In the Adventure segment, while revenue increased year-over-year for the fourth consecutive quarter, the level of sales growth was affected by constrained consumer demand in the North American market compared to our expectations, and overall profitability was impacted by increased investment aimed at accelerating long-term growth."

    Mr. Kanders added, "Looking forward, we are confident that Clarus is well positioned to drive sustainable and profitable growth as a pure-play, ESG-friendly outdoor business, supported by outstanding leadership and a debt-free balance sheet. We remain in the early stages of our multi-year strategic plan but believe the investments we have made to date strengthening our teams, enhancing business processes, and ensuring we offer in-demand, premium product across our key categories will deliver significant long-term benefit. Based on our results through the first half of the year, we are pleased to reaffirm our full-year revenue guidance. Reflective of market headwinds, as well as our strategic decision to aggressively invest in the business, we have revised our 2024 adjusted EBITDA expectations."

    Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

    Sales in the second quarter were $56.5 million compared to $57.9 million in the same year‐ago quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by softness in the European wholesale and North American direct-to-consumer markets at Outdoor, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in Adventure segment sales, specifically the OEM channel.

    Sales in the Adventure segment increased 13.6% to $20.3 million, or $20.5 million on a constant currency basis, compared to $17.9 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting higher demand from OEM customers and an increase from the TRED Outdoors acquisition. Sales in the Outdoor segment were $36.2 million, compared to $40.1 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline primarily reflects weakness in our North American direct-to-consumer markets and softness in our European markets.

    Gross margin in the second quarter was 36.1% compared to 39.0% in the year‐ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in PFAS (Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) related inventory reserve expenses, unfavorable product mix due to increased discontinued merchandise sales at the Outdoor segment, as well as higher inventory and sales return reserve expenses at the Adventure segment. Adjusted gross margin reflecting the PFAS related inventory reserve was 37.4% for the quarter.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter were $28.1 million compared to $26.9 million in the same year‐ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in higher investment in marketing initiatives in the Adventure segment, as well as higher employee-related expenses across the Company. These increases were partially offset by expense reduction initiatives in the Outdoor segment to manage costs, as well as lower intangible amortization.

    The loss from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2024 was $5.5 million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to loss from continuing operations of $4.3 million, or $(0.12) per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Loss from continuing operations in the second quarter included $0.4 million of charges relating to legal cost and regulatory matter expenses and $0.7 million of PFAS inventory reserve.

    Adjusted loss from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2024 was $1.2 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to adjusted loss from continuing operations of $0.1 million, or $(0.00) per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted loss from continuing operations excludes legal cost and regulatory matters expenses, PFAS inventory reserves, contingent consideration benefits, restructuring charges and transaction costs, as well as non-cash items for intangible amortization and stock-based compensation.

    Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the second quarter was $(1.9) million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of (3.4)%, compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $1.0 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 1.7%, in the same year‐ago quarter.

    Net cash generated in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $0.8 million compared to net cash generated of $14.1 million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2024 were $1.6 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2024 was an outflow of $0.7 million.

    Liquidity at June 30, 2024 vs. December 31, 2023

    • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $46.2 million compared to $11.3 million.
    • Total debt of $0.0 million compared to $119.8 million.

    Appoints Three Veteran Operating and Sales Executives to Support Adventure Segment

    In July, the Company announced three important strategic hires to seek to accelerate international growth and global OEM initiatives. Adventure appointed Tripp Wyckoff to the role of General Manager of the Americas, David Cook as Global Head of OEM and Daniel Bruntsch as Head of EMEA Sales.

    Strategic Review of PIEPS

    The Company has initiated a review and evaluation of strategic options for its PIEPS snow safety brand, with the intention of soliciting interest from potential acquirors. This strategic initiative is aligned with Clarus' prioritization of simplifying the business and rationalizing our product categories. The Company's Board of Directors has not set a timetable to complete this review and evaluation of strategic options nor have any decisions been made relating to strategic options at this time. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction that will be consummated. The Company and the Company's Board of Directors do not intend to comment further about this strategic review unless and until they deem further disclosure is appropriate.

    2024 Outlook

    The Company continues to expect fiscal year 2024 sales to range between $270 million to $280 million. Due to investments seeking to scale the Adventure segment, particularly in North America, Europe and through direct marketing initiatives, the Company now expects adjusted EBITDA of approximately $11 million to $14 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.5% at the mid-point of revenue and adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the Company now expects capital expenditures to range between $6 million to $7 million, of which $0.9 million related to Precision Sport prior to disposal, and adjusted free cash flow to range between $7 million to $9 million for the full year 2024, excluding $2.0 million of cash outflow related to Precision Sport prior to disposal.

    Net Operating Loss (NOL)

    The Company has net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $7.7 million. None of the NOLs expire until December 31, 2029.

    Use of Non‐GAAP Measures

    The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This press release contains the non-GAAP measures: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) per diluted share, (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, other income or expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures). The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: (i) adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from continuing operations and related earnings (loss) per diluted share , (iii) EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, and (iv) free cash flow, provide useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, along with the nearest GAAP measures, a baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within this press release. We do not provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures Adjusted EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the fiscal year 2024 to net income for the fiscal year 2024, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain types of expenses and gains, without unreasonable effort, which affect net income but not Adjusted EBITDA and/or Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company's reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Company notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.
