NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clarus Corporation and its subsidiaries (which may be collectively referred to as the “Company,” “Clarus,” “we,” “us” or “our”) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2025. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 6, 2025.

Nature of Business

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, we are a global leading designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of best-in-class outdoor equipment and lifestyle products focused on the outdoor enthusiast markets. Each of our brands has a long history of continuous product innovation for core and everyday users alike. The Company’s products are principally sold globally under the Black Diamond®, Rhino-Rack®, MAXTRAX®, and TRED Outdoors® brand names through outdoor specialty and online retailers, our own websites, distributors and original equipment manufacturers. We believe that our portfolio of iconic brands is well-positioned for sustainable, long-term growth underpinned by industry trends across the outdoor and adventure sport end markets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, income taxes and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements issued and not yet adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose in its rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance will require all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance makes several other changes to the disclosure requirements. All entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements, however it does not anticipate a material change to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires a public entity to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses on an annual and interim basis. The guidance will require all entities to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. The guidance also requires disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. All entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements, however it does not anticipate a material change to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

RockyMounts

On December 5, 2024, Clarus and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rhino-Rack USA LLC, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “RockyMounts Purchase Agreement”) with RockyMounts, Inc. (the “Seller” or “RockyMounts”) and Robert C. Noyes, pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) acquire certain assets and liabilities of the Seller constituting the RockyMounts business, including equipment, inventory, intellectual property (including exclusive use of the brand name ROCKYMOUNTS and the tradename ROCKY MOUNTS INC.), software, domain names and social media accounts, and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the RockyMounts assets, including all liabilities and obligations of the Seller under the Assigned Contracts (as defined in the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement), arising or to be performed after the closing of the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, the purchase price to be paid for the RockyMounts assets is up to $8,000, which includes (i) $4,000 paid in cash at closing, subject to adjustment as set forth in the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, (ii) the issuance of a promissory note by Rhino-Rack USA LLC in favor of the Seller in the original principal amount of $2,000, payable on the one-year anniversary of the closing of the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the payment of additional contingent consideration of up to $2,000 in cash upon the satisfaction of certain net sales targets (the “RockyMounts Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the RockyMounts Contingent Consideration to be $609 and recorded this liability within accrued liabilities. See Note 11 for discussion regarding the valuation of the RockyMounts Contingent Consideration as of March 31, 2025. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The Company believes the acquisition of RockyMounts will provide the Company with a greater combined global revenue base, increased gross margins, profitability and free cash flows, and access to increased liquidity to further acquire and grow businesses.

The following table is a reconciliation to the fair value of the purchase consideration and how the purchase consideration is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed which have been estimated at their fair values. The fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation for RockyMounts are based on the Company’s best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary. The fair value measurements of identifiable assets and liabilities, and the resulting goodwill related to the RockyMounts Acquisition are subject to change and the final purchase price allocations could be different from the amounts presented below. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the date of the acquisition. The excess of purchase consideration over the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill for RockyMounts is included in the Adventure segment. The goodwill consists largely of the growth and profitability expected from these acquisitions.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to attempt to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company manages

CLARUS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts. If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges. The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the expected cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the expected cash flow of the hedged item.

At March 31, 2025, the Company’s derivative contracts had remaining maturities of less than one year. The counterparties to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings. The maximum net exposure of the Company’s credit risk to the counterparties is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty, which was $516 as of March 31, 2025. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain on all contracts. As of March 31, 2025, there was no such exposure to the counterparties. The Company’s derivative counterparties have strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.

The Company held the following contracts designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


	March 31, 2025
	Notional	Latest
	Amount	Maturity

Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars	$4,987	February 2026

	Amount	Maturity

Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars	$1,379	February 2025

For contracts that qualify as effective hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Gains of $76 and $81 were reclassified to sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table presents the balance sheet classification and fair value of derivative instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:


	March 31, 2025
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

	$	-	$	-	$	609	$	609

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models.

The Company estimated the initial fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities primarily using the Monte-Carlo pricing model. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuations of contingent consideration liabilities related to the acquisitions of RockyMounts and TRED included discount rates of 13.0% and 11.5%, respectively. Contingent consideration liabilities are subsequently remeasured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period using financial projections of the acquired company, such as sales-based milestones and estimated probabilities of achievement,

with the change in fair value recognized in contingent consideration (benefit) expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for such period. We measure the initial liability and remeasure the liability on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

The following table summarizes the changes in contingent consideration liabilities:


	RockyMounts

Balance at December 31, 2024	$	609

Fair value adjustments		-

Balance at March 31, 2025	$	609

As the contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period, significant increases or decreases in projected sales, discount rates or the time until payment is made could have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Our determination of fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities could change in future periods based on our ongoing evaluation of these significant unobservable inputs. As of March 31, 2025, the net sales threshold required for the payment of the TRED Contingent Consideration is not expected to be met.

NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On August 6, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend program of $0.025 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Quarterly Cash Dividend”) or $0.10 per share on an annualized basis. The declaration and payment of future Quarterly Cash Dividends is subject to the discretion of and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. On May 6, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment on May 28, 2025 of the Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.025 to the record holders of shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on May 19, 2025.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, equity awards of 4,265 and 5,047, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per share for these periods as they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the Company’s current 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Company’s Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2015 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2015 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500 shares. The 2015 Plan will continue in effect until December 2025 unless terminated sooner.

Options Granted:

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued stock option awards for an aggregate of 550 shares of Common Stock under the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company. Of the 550 stock options, 500 stock options shall vest and become exercisable one year from the date of the grant and 50 stock options shall vest and become exercisable over a period of three years from the date of the grant. All of the issued stock options expire ten years from the date of the grant.

CLARUS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Options Granted During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025


Number of options		550
Option vesting period		1 - 3 Years
Grant price (per share)		$4.02
Dividend yield		2.49%
Expected volatility (a)		50.6% - 52.8%
Risk-free interest rate		4.01% - 4.07%
Expected life (years) (b)		5.50 - 6.50
Weighted average fair value (per share)		$1.71 - $1.74

(a)

Expected volatility is based upon the Company’s historical volatility.

(b)

The expected term was determined based upon the underlying terms of the awards and the category and employment history of employee award recipient.

The grant date fair value of the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $940, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not issue any restricted stock awards under the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company.

The total non-cash stock compensation expense for continuing operations related to restricted stock, stock options and stock awards recorded by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1,469 and $1,178, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the majority of stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.

As of March 31, 2025, there were 1,057 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $2,500 related to unvested stock options, as well as 1,050 unvested restricted stock awards and unrecognized compensation costs of $3,449 related to unvested restricted stock awards.

NOTE 15. RESTRUCTURING

Starting in 2023, the Company began incurring expenses to facilitate long-term sustainable growth through cost reduction actions, consisting of employee reductions, facility rationalization and contract termination costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $173 and $370, respectively, of restructuring charges related to these actions. The Company has incurred $5,344 of cumulative restructuring charges since the commencement of our restructuring actions in 2023. The Company accrues for restructuring costs when they are probable and reasonably estimable. These costs include severance costs, exit costs, and other restructuring costs and are included in restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Severance costs primarily consist of severance benefits through payroll continuation, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities, while exit costs primarily consist of lease exit and contract termination costs. Other costs consist primarily of costs related to the discontinuance of certain product lines and are distinguishable and directly attributable to the Company’s restructuring initiative and not a result of external market factors associated with the ongoing business. We estimate that we will continue to incur restructuring costs related to employee-related costs and facility exit costs during the year ended December 31,

2025; however, the Company cannot estimate the total amount expected to be incurred as cost reduction actions continue to be evaluated. The Company anticipates completing these restructuring activities in the year ended December 31, 2025.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL MATTERS

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Anticipated costs related to litigation matters are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and Department of Justice matter discussed below. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the Company may subsequently determine that it may incur losses from such contingencies materially in excess of the amounts initially accrued by the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, stock price, consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. See Part II, Item 1. “Legal Proceedings.”

Legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income except as described below.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

In January 2021, Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. (“BDEL”) wrote to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) outlining its new cradle solution for certain models of its avalanche beacon transceivers to prevent such transceivers from switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode. The proposed new cradle solution was designed to improve transceiver safety by locking the transceiver into “send” mode prior to use so that it would not switch unexpectedly out of “send” mode. BDEL also requested approval for the CPSC Fast-Track Program for a voluntary product recall to implement this cradle solution. The CPSC approved the recall and entered into a Corrective Action Plan agreement with BDEL in March 2021. BDEL received a letter from the CPSC, dated October 28, 2021, stating that the CPSC is investigating whether BDEL has timely complied with the reporting requirements of Section 15(b) of the Consumer Protection Safety Act and related regulations regarding certain models of avalanche transceivers switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode.

Separately, on April 21, 2022, BDEL filed a Section 15(b) report and applied for Fast-Track consideration for a voluntary recall, consisting of free repair or replacement of such malfunctioning models of avalanche transceivers, which would not switch from “send” mode to “search” mode due to an electronic malfunction in the reed switch or foil. The CPSC approved the recall and entered into a Corrective Action Plan agreement with BDEL in August 2022. BDEL received a letter from the CPSC, dated January 17, 2023, stating that the CPSC is investigating whether BDEL has timely complied with the reporting requirements of Section 15(b) of the Consumer Protection Safety Act and related regulations regarding the malfunction in the reed switch or foil in certain models of avalanche transceivers switching out of “search” mode. BDEL responded to the CPSC’s investigation by letter dated March 31, 2023, accompanied with documents responsive to the CPSC’s requests. The CPSC asked for further clarification and documents, and BDEL sent a responsive letter accompanied by additional documents on June 23, 2023. On September 6, 2023, the CPSC requested further clarification and information regarding the reed switch issue, to which BDEL responded on October 6 and 13, 2023.

By letters dated October 12, 2023 and December 18, 2023, respectively, BDEL was notified by the CPSC that the agency staff had concluded that BDEL failed to timely meet its statutory reporting obligations under the Consumer Product Safety Act with respect to certain models of avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode and certain models of avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL not switching from “send” mode into “search” mode, that BDEL made a material misrepresentation in a report to the CPSC, and that the agency staff intends to recommend that the CPSC impose civil monetary penalties of $16,135 and $9,000, respectively, for the two matters described above.

On November 20, 2023 and February 8, 2024, respectively, BDEL submitted a comprehensive response disputing the CPSC’s findings and conclusions in the October 12, 2023 and December 18, 2023 letters, including the amount of any potential penalties. The CPSC ultimately disagreed with our position and the agency voted to refer the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice for further proceedings. The Company and BDEL intend to strongly contest and vigorously defend against any claims which may be asserted against them by the Department of Justice or the CPSC.

Walbrecht, the former President of BDEL and the Company, received a letter from the CPSC dated June 25, 2024 alleging that in his personal capacity he knowingly violated the Consumer Product Safety Act by failing to timely report the occurrence resulting in beacons switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode. The staff of the CPSC recommended a $5,000 fine against Mr. Walbrecht personally. Pursuant to the Company’s by-laws, the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Walbrecht and pay his legal fees, and he has provided an undertaking to the Company that the Company will be entitled to recover those expenses if it is ultimately determined that he was not entitled to indemnification. On August 26, 2024, Mr. Walbrecht’s independent counsel responded to the CPSC, denying the allegations of its June 25, 2024, letter and rejecting its demand for a penalty.

On January 23, 2025, the Company and BDEL were each served with grand jury subpoenas from the United States Department of Justice requiring the production of documents relating to avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL. The Company and BDEL intend to cooperate with this investigation.

On March 13, 2025, the Company received a letter from the CPSC requesting various categories of documents and information in connection with an investigation into whether BDEL sold products that were subject to a recall. The Company is cooperating with this investigation.

Based on currently available information, the Company believes an unfavorable outcome with the CPSC is probable, however, we cannot reasonably estimate on what terms this matter will be resolved with the CPSC or the U.S. Department of Justice. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a liability of $2,500 representing the low end of the range of our estimated exposure. The Company does not have a better estimate of the loss; therefore the low-end of the range was recorded as an accrued liability during the first quarter of 2024 and a corresponding expense is included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

We believe it is reasonably possible that a change in our ability to estimate the amount of loss could occur in the near term and that the change in the estimate could be material. In addition, as this matter is ongoing, the Company is currently unable to predict its duration, resources required or outcome, or the impact it may have on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows. Any penalties imposed by the CPSC or other regulators could be costly to us and could damage our business and reputation as well as have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, stock price, consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred legal expenses of $578 and $205, respectively, in efforts to resolve this matter. These legal expenses are included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Clarus Corporation v. HAP Trading, LLC and Harsh A. Padia

On September 23, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against HAP Trading, LLC and Harsh A. Padia (“HAP Trading”), seeking disgorgement of profits from transactions in the Company’s common stock and related derivative securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On March 14, 2025, the Court issued an Opinion and Order granting the defendants’ motion for summary judgment on the ground that they qualified for the market making exemption under Section 16(d) of the Exchange Act. On April 11, 2025, the Company filed a timely Notice of Appeal.

Clarus Corporation v. Caption Management, LLC, et al.

On March 8, 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Caption Management, LLC, Caption Partners II LP, Caption GP, LLC, William Cooper and Jason Strasser (“Caption Management”), seeking disgorgement of short-swing profits from transactions in the Company’s stock and related derivative securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss and on March 24, 2025, the Court issued an Order and Opinion denying the motion to dismiss and directing the defendants to answer the Complaint and proceed to discovery.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred legal expenses of $47 and $297, respectively, in the efforts to bring the cases against HAP Trading and Caption Management to trial. These legal expenses are included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate is 21% and its foreign operations have statutory tax rates of approximately 23% in Austria, 28% in New Zealand, and 30% in Australia.

The difference between the Company’s estimated effective tax rate benefit of 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to the impact of valuation allowance, stock compensation, and research and experimentation expenditures and credits in the first quarter of 2025.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $35,658. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $23,344, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $12,314, before deferred tax liabilities of $24,488. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of the U.S. deferred tax assets because the ultimate realization of those assets did not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria. Part of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) for federal tax purposes. If a change in control were to occur, these could be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and net operating loss and credit carryforwards expire. The estimates and judgments associated with the Company’s valuation allowance on deferred tax assets are considered critical due to the amount of deferred tax assets recorded by the Company on its consolidated balance sheets and the judgment required in determining the Company’s future taxable income. The need for a valuation allowance is reassessed at each interim reporting period.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had NOLs and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $0 and $5,439, respectively.

NOTE 18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate our business structure within two segments. These segments are defined based on the internal financial reporting used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the Executive Chairman and Director (Principal Executive Officer). The CODM allocates resources based on revenue and operating income primarily through the annual budget and periodic forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. Corporate costs consist of corporate office expenses including compensation, benefits, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction costs, and other administrative costs, as well as charges related to certain legal and regulatory matters, that are managed at a corporate level and are not included within segment results when evaluating performance or allocating resources.

Each segment is described below:

●

Our Outdoor segment, which includes Black Diamond Equipment and PIEPS, is a global leader in designing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative outdoor engineered equipment and apparel for climbing, mountaineering, trail running, backpacking, skiing, and a wide range of other year-round outdoor recreation activities. Our Outdoor segment offers a broad range of products including: high-performance, activity-based apparel (such as shells, insulation, midlayers, pants and logowear); rock-climbing footwear and equipment (such as carabiners, protection devices, harnesses, belay devices, helmets, and ice-climbing gear); technical backpacks and high-end day packs; trekking poles; headlamps and lanterns; and gloves and mittens. We also offer advanced

The decrease in sales was attributable to a decrease in sales at the Adventure and Outdoor segments of $6,178 and $2,700, respectively.

CLARUS CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Sales in the Outdoor segment were reduced by $696 due to foreign exchange impact from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar primarily against the euro during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior period. Sales in the Adventure segment were reduced by $569 due to foreign exchange impact from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior period.

Sales in the Adventure segment decreased due to significantly lower demand from global original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers and a challenging wholesale market in Australia for both Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX, combined with a prior year large wholesale customer in North America not reoccurring in the three months ended March 31, 2025, partially offset by a $1,342 increase from the RockyMounts acquisition. Sales in the Outdoor segment decreased due to our product simplification and SKU rationalization strategy across Black Diamond, combined with the impact from the shift in timing for independent global distributor (“IGD”) revenues from the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Domestic sales decreased $3,475, or 12.3%, to $24,809 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to domestic sales of $28,284 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in sales was attributable to decreases at the Outdoor and Adventure segments of $2,936 and $539, respectively.

International sales decreased $5,403, or 13.2%, to $35,624 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to international sales of $41,027 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in sales was attributable to decreases at the Adventure segment of $5,639, partially offset by increases at the Outdoor segment of $236.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased $4,821, or 10.8%, to $39,639 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to cost of goods sold of $44,460 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $4,057, or 16.3%, to $20,794 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to gross profit of $24,851 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin was 34.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a gross margin of 35.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin during the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreased compared to the prior year as a result of lower volumes and unfavorable product mix at the Outdoor and Adventure segments. Specifically, the unfavorable product mix at Outdoor was related to high levels of discontinued merchandise that was sold during the quarter, including the vast majority of the remaining Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (“PFAS”) inventory. The unfavorable product mix at Adventure was primarily driven by promotional sales efforts in North America. This combined with lower wholesale volume at both Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX in Australia drove the decline in gross margin compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $1,599, or 5.7%, to $26,616 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $28,215 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses at the Outdoor segment decreased by $1,042 primarily as a result of lower wages and digital marketing costs, as well as lower retail expenses at the Outdoor segment due to store closures and other expense reduction initiatives across both segments to manage costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses at the Adventure segment decreased by $346 primarily as a result of lower marketing and amortization costs, combined with other expense reduction initiatives, partially offset by a write-off of internally developed software during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges decreased to $173 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to restructuring charges of $370 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The restructuring charges incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 relate to benefits provided to employees who were terminated due to the Company’s reduction-in-force as part of its continued realignment of resources within the organization of $143 and lease exit and contract termination costs of $30.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs increased to $142 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to transaction costs of $38 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted of expenses related to the Company’s various acquisition efforts.

Legal Costs and Regulatory Matter Expenses

Legal costs and regulatory matter expenses decreased to $625 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to legal costs and regulatory matter expenses of $3,002 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted of expenses related to the Company’s specific legal matters. See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for financial information regarding specific legal matters.

Interest Income, net

Interest income, net decreased to $257 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to interest income, net of $370 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in interest income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was due to lower interest rates, compared to the prior period.

Other, net

Other, net, changed by $1,368, or 150.5%, to $459 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to other, net of ($909) during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in other, net, was primarily attributable to an increase in remeasurement gains recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. The change was partially offset by losses in mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged foreign currency contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit decreased by $49, or 5.8%, to $802 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $851 during the same period in 2024. Our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and differed compared to the statutory tax rates primarily due to the impact of valuation allowance, stock compensation, and research and experimentation expenditures and credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our effective income tax rate was a benefit of 11.6% and differed compared to the statutory tax rates primarily due to the impact of stock compensation, research and experimentation expenditures and credits, and discrete stock option shortfalls.

Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations was $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income from discontinued operations of $28,346 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in net income from discontinued operations is due to the sale of the Precision Sport segment occurring during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There was no activity in discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Our primary ongoing funding requirements are for working capital, expansion of our operations (both organically and through acquisitions) and general corporate needs, as well as investing in the various brands. We plan to fund these activities through a combination of our future operating cash flows and net proceeds from the sale of our Precision Sport segment. Upon the closing of the sale of the Precision Sport segment, the Company terminated and settled all outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and term debt under the Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the “Restated Credit Agreement”). We believe that our liquidity requirements and contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months will be adequately covered by cash provided by operations and the net proceeds from the sale of the Precision Sport segment after the settlement of the Restated Credit Agreement. Additionally, long-term contractual obligations are also currently expected to be funded from cash from operations and net proceeds from the sale of the Precision Sport segment after the settlement of the Restated Credit Agreement.

At March 31, 2025, we had total cash of $41,315, compared to total cash of $45,359 at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $6,894 of the $41,315 in cash held by foreign entities, of which $5,524 is considered permanently reinvested.

The following presents a discussion of cash flows for the condensed consolidated three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the condensed consolidated three months ended March 31, 2024.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024

Net cash used in operating activities	$	(2,073)	$	(16,361)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(1,181)		173,608
Net cash used in financing activities		(1,001)		(120,848)
Effect of foreign exchange rates on cash		211		(239)

Cash, beginning of year		45,359		11,324
Cash, end of period	$	41,315	$	47,484

Net Cash From Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,073 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $16,361 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in net cash used in operating activities during 2025 is primarily due to the gain on sale of $40,585 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the disposition of the Precision Sport segment and a decrease in cash outflows related to working capital of $8,899. These were partially offset by a decrease in net income and deferred income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Free cash flow, defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures, of $3,254 was used during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $18,258 used during the same period in 2024. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measure, free cash flow, provides an understanding of the capital required by the Company to expand its asset base. A reconciliation of free cash flows to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth below:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2025		March 31, 2024

Net cash used in operating activities	$	(2,073)	$	(16,361)
Purchase of property and equipment		(1,181)		(1,897)
Free cash flow	$	(3,254)	$	(18,258)

Net Cash From Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,181 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $173,608 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in cash (used in) provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to the cash received related to the disposition of the Precision Sport segment during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net Cash From Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,001 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $120,848 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to the settlement of all outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and term debt under the Restated Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net Operating Loss

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $0 and $5,439, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $35,658. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $23,344, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $12,314, before deferred tax liabilities of $24,488. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of the net U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024, because the ultimate realization of those assets does not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria. The majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets consist of research and experimentation credits and capitalized costs for federal tax purposes. These deferred tax assets are expected to reverse into NOL carryforwards that can be used to offset taxable income and reduce income taxes payable in future periods. If a change in control were to occur, these future NOLs could be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended.

Credit Agreement

Upon the closing of the sale of the Precision Sport segment on February 29, 2024, the Company terminated and settled all outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and term debt under the Restated Credit Agreement.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, and except as disclosed herein, the Company does not believe that the existence of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) matter discussed below. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company of an adverse determination could have a different effect. See also Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees and other expenses or costs for defending such actions, which legal fees and expenses or costs are expensed as incurred. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. Based on currently available information, and except as set forth herein, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, except for the CPSC matter discussed below. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company at this time. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

Product Liability

Except as disclosed herein, there are no pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, which the Company believes in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, brand reputation, liquidity, stock price, consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. See also Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

CLARUS CORPORATION

March 2021. BDEL received a letter from the CPSC, dated October 28, 2021, stating that the CPSC is investigating whether BDEL has timely complied with the reporting requirements of Section 15(b) of the Consumer Protection Safety Act and related regulations regarding certain models of avalanche transceivers switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode.

By letters dated October 12, 2023 and December 18, 2023, respectively, BDEL was notified by the CPSC that the agency staff had concluded that BDEL failed to timely meet its statutory reporting obligations under the Consumer Product Safety Act with respect to certain models of avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode and certain models of avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL not switching from “send” mode into “search” mode, that BDEL made a material misrepresentation in a report to the CPSC, and that the agency staff intends to recommend that the CPSC impose civil monetary penalties of $16,135,000 and $9,000,000, respectively, for the two matters described above.

John C. Walbrecht, the former President of BDEL and the Company, received a letter from the CPSC dated June 25, 2024, alleging that in his personal capacity he knowingly violated the Consumer Product Safety Act by failing to timely report the occurrence resulting in beacons switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode. The staff of the CPSC recommended a $5,000,000 fine against Mr. Walbrecht personally. Pursuant to the Company’s by-laws, the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Walbrecht and pay his legal fees, and he has provided an undertaking to the Company that the Company will be entitled to recover those expenses if it is ultimately determined that he was not entitled to indemnification. On August 26, 2024, Mr. Walbrecht’s independent counsel responded to the CPSC, denying the allegations of its June 25, 2024 letter and rejecting its demand for a penalty.

Based on currently available information, the Company believes an unfavorable outcome with the CPSC is probable, however, we cannot reasonably estimate on what terms this matter will be resolved with the CPSC or the U.S. Department of Justice. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a liability of $2,500,000 representing the low end of the range of our estimated exposure. The Company does not have a better estimate of the loss; therefore the low-end of the range was recorded as an accrued liability during the first quarter of 2024 and a corresponding expense is included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Any

penalties imposed by the CPSC or other regulators, could be costly to us and could damage our business and reputation as well as have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, stock price, consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
