NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Johnson Outdoors Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, and their results of operations for the three month periods then ended and cash flows for the three month periods then ended. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2024 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 11, 2024.

All monetary amounts, other than share and per share amounts, are stated in thousands.

2 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for credit losses of $3,587, $3,543 and $1,108 as of December 27, 2024, September 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The determination of the allowance for credit losses is based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where specific collection concerns about a receivable exist, a reserve is established to value the affected account receivable at an amount the Company believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for credit losses based on historical experience of bad debts as a percent of accounts receivable outstanding for each business segment. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance for credit losses after collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company typically does not require collateral on its accounts receivable.

3 EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Net income or loss per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed using the two-class method. Grants of restricted stock which receive non-forfeitable dividends are classified as participating securities and are required to be included as part of the basic weighted average share calculation under the two-class method.

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to cash dividends equal to 110% of all dividends declared and paid on each share of Class B common stock. The Company grants shares of unvested restricted stock in the form of Class A shares, which carry the same distribution rights as the Class A common stock described above. As such, the undistributed earnings for each period are allocated to each class of common stock based on the proportionate share of the amount of cash dividends that each such class is entitled to receive.

Basic EPS

Basic net income or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to Class A common stock and Class B common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding, respectively. In periods with cumulative year to date net income and undistributed income, the undistributed income for each period is allocated to each class of common stock based on the proportionate share of the amount of cash dividends that each such class is entitled to receive. In periods where there is a cumulative year to date net loss or no undistributed income because distributions through dividends exceed net income, Class B shares are treated as anti-dilutive and, therefore, net losses are allocated equally on a per share basis among all participating securities.

For the three month periods ended December 27, 2024, basic net loss per share for Class A and Class B shares was the same because there were no cumulative undistributed earnings and basic loss per share for Class A and Class B shares has been presented using the two class method described above. For the three month periods ended December 29, 2023, basic income per share for the Class A and Class B shares has been presented using the two class method and reflects the allocation of undistributed income as described above.

Diluted EPS

Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing allocated net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options, restricted stock units (“stock units” or

- 6 -


Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

“units”) and non-vested restricted stock. Anti-dilutive stock options, units and non-vested stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. The computation of diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes that Class B common stock is converted into Class A common stock. Therefore, diluted net income per share is the same for both Class A and Class B common shares. In periods where the Company reports a net loss or no undistributed income because distributions through dividends exceed net income, the effect of anti-dilutive stock options and units is excluded and diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share for both classes of stock.

For the three month periods ended December 27, 2024, the effect of non-vested restricted stock units is excluded from the diluted income per share calculation as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three month periods ended December 29, 2023, diluted net income per share reflects the effect of dilutive stock units and assumes the conversion of Class B common stock into Class A common stock.

Shares of non-vested stock that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future which were not included in the fully diluted computation because they would have been anti-dilutive totaled 59,564 and 63,061 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively. Stock units that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future and which were not included in the fully diluted computation because they would have been anti-dilutive were 97,763 and 65,228 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

Dividends per share

Dividends per share for the three month periods ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	December 27, 2024		December 29, 2023
Dividends declared per common share:
Class A	$	0.33	$	0.33
Class B	$	0.30	$	0.30

4 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS

The Company’s current stock ownership plans allow for issuance of stock options to acquire shares of Class A common stock by key executives and non-employee directors. Current plans also allow for issuance of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights in lieu of stock options.

Under the Company’s 2023 Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Plan and the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the only plans where shares currently remain available for future equity incentive awards) there were a total of 322,657 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock available for future grant to non-employee directors and key executives at December 27, 2024. Share awards previously made under the Company's 2012 Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Plan and its 2010 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, which no longer allow for additional share grants, also remain outstanding.

Non-vested Stock

All shares of non-vested restricted stock awarded by the Company have been granted in the form of shares of Class A common stock at their fair market value on the date of grant and vest within one year from the date of grant for stock granted to directors and within a period ranging from one to four years from the date of grant for stock granted to officers and employees, based on the terms of the agreement with such officer or employee. The fair value at date of grant is based on the number of shares granted and the average of the Company’s high and low Class A common stock price on the date of grant or, if the Company’s Class A shares did not trade on the date of grant, the average of the Company’s high and low Class A common stock price on the last preceding date on which the Company’s Class A shares traded.

Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

A summary of non-vested stock activity for the three months ended December 27, 2024 related to the Company’s stock ownership plans is as follows:


	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Price
Non-vested stock at September 27, 2024	56,389	$	59.69
Non-vested stock grants	28,764	33.14
Restricted stock vested	(5,085)	88.49
Forfeitures	(3,690)	54.20
Non-vested stock at December 27, 2024	76,378	48.03

Non-vested stock grantees may elect to reimburse the Company for withholding taxes due as a result of the vesting of shares by tendering a portion of the vested shares back to the Company. Shares tendered back to the Company were 1,609 and 2,330 during the three month periods ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

Stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, related to non-vested stock was $354 and $428 for the three month periods ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock as of December 27, 2024 was $1,951, which amount will be amortized to expense through December 2027 or adjusted for changes in future estimated or actual forfeitures.

The fair value of restricted stock vested during the three month periods ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 was $169 and $409, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

All restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded by the Company have been granted in the form of units payable in shares of Class A common stock upon vesting. The units are valued at the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date of grant and vest within one year from the date of grant for RSUs granted to directors, and subject to satisfaction of applicable performance criteria, three years from the date of grant for RSUs granted to employees. The fair value at the date of grant is based on the number of units granted and the average of the Company’s high and low Class A common stock trading price on the date of grant or, if the Company’s Class A shares did not trade on the date of grant, the average of the Company’s high and low Class A common stock trading price on the last preceding date on which the Company’s Class A shares traded.

A summary of RSU activity for the three months ended December 27, 2024 follows:


	Number of RSUs	Weighted Average Grant Price
RSUs at September 27, 2024	84,192	$	64.58
RSUs granted	57,792	33.14
RSUs vested and canceled due to performance targets not being met	(17,041)	101.22
RSU's forfeited	(3,690)	54.20
RSUs at December 27, 2024	121,253	44.76

Stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, related to RSUs was $115 and $139 for the three month periods ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs as of December 27, 2024 was $1,755, which amount will be amortized to expense through September 2027 or adjusted for changes in future estimated or actual forfeitures.

RSU grantees may elect to reimburse the Company for withholding taxes due as a result of the vesting of units and issuance of unrestricted shares of Class A common stock by tendering a portion of such unrestricted shares back to the Company. Because performance criteria was not met, the RSUs expiring in the period ended December 27, 2024 were canceled so shares tendered back to the Company for this purpose were 0 during the three month period ended December 27, 2024. Shares tendered back to the Company for the reimbursement of withholding taxes were and 2,331 during the three month period ended December 29, 2023.

Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

The fair value of restricted stock units recognized as a tax deduction during the three month periods ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 was $0 and $1,015, respectively.

Compensation expense related to units earned by employees (as opposed to grants to outside directors) is based upon the attainment of certain Company financial goals related to cumulative net sales and cumulative operating profit over a three-year performance period. Awards are only paid if at least 80% of the target levels are met and maximum payouts are made if 120% or more of target levels are achieved. The payouts for achievement at the threshold levels of performance are equal to 50% of the target award amount. The payouts for achievement at maximum levels of performance are equal to 150% of the target award amount. To the extent earned, awards are issued in shares of Company Class A common stock after the end of the three-year performance period.

Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s shareholders have adopted the Johnson Outdoors Inc. 2009 Employees’ Stock Purchase Plan, which was most recently amended on March 2, 2017, and which provides for the issuance of shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of not less than 85% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant or on the date of purchase, whichever is lower.

During the three month period ended December 27, 2024, the Company issued 0 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $38 of income in connection with the Employees' Stock Purchase Plan. During the three month period ended December 29, 2023, the Company issued 0 shares of Class A common stock and recognized $31 of expense in connection with the Plan.

5 LEASES

The Company leases certain facilities and machinery and equipment under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

As of December 27, 2024, the Company had approximately 150 leases, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 16 years. Some of the leases contain variable payment terms, such as payments based on fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Some leases also contain options to extend or terminate the lease. To the extent the Company is reasonably certain to exercise these options, they have been considered in the calculation of the right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. Under current lease agreements, there are no residual value guarantees or restrictive lease covenants. In calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities, several assumptions and judgments were made by the Company, including whether a contract is or contains a lease under the applicable definition, and the determination of the discount rate, which is assumed to be the incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available to the Company at the lease commencement date based on lease length and location.

The components of lease expense recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 were as follows:


	Three months ended
	December 27, 2024		December 29, 2023

6 INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, the Company’s earnings before income taxes, income tax expense and effective income tax rate were as follows:

- 10 -


Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.


	Three Months Ended
(thousands, except tax rate data)	December 27, 2024			December 29, 2023
(Loss) profit before income taxes	$	(18,927)		$	5,899
Income tax (benefit) expense	(3,637)			1,944
Effective income tax rate	19.2		%	33.0		%

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 27, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 29, 2023 was primarily related to a change in the geographic mix of profits or losses from a tax perspective for the current year period, as compared to the prior year period. The Company's effective tax rate is impacted by valuation allowances in certain foreign tax jurisdictions and, as a result, changes in the geographic source of Company profits or losses between periods can, in certain instances, have varying impacts on the Company's effective tax rate during a particular period.

The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required, the Company considers such factors as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset. Due to recent operating losses in the U.S., the Company has evaluated the realizability of U.S. net deferred tax assets. The evaluation concluded that the U.S. deferred tax assets are realizable. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets.

The impact of the Company’s operations in jurisdictions where a valuation allowance is assessed is removed from the overall effective tax rate methodology and recorded directly based on year to date results for the year for which no tax expense or benefit can be recognized. The significant tax jurisdictions that have a valuation allowance for the periods ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 were:


December 27, 2024			December 29, 2023
Indonesia			Indonesia
Switzerland			Switzerland

The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, the Company may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits due to the impact of changes in its assumptions or as a result of new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities and lapses of statutes of limitation. The Company’s 2025 fiscal year tax expense is anticipated to be unchanged related to uncertain income tax positions.

In accordance with its accounting policy, the Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized benefits as a component of income tax expense.

7 INVENTORIES

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in first-out method) or net realizable value. Inventories at the end of the respective periods consisted of the following:

8 GOODWILL

The changes in goodwill during the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 were as follows:


	December 27, 2024		December 29, 2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	—	$	11,172

Amount attributable to movements in foreign currency rates	—		17
Balance at end of period	$	10,451	$	11,189

The goodwill at December 27, 2024 relates to the acquisition of Endless Summer Technologies Proprietary, Ltd. See Note 18 below for additional information on the acquisition.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill for a reporting unit on an annual basis or more frequently when events and circumstances warrant such an evaluation. In conducting this analysis, the Company uses the income approach to compare the reporting unit's carrying value to its indicated fair value. Fair value is determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions and is considered a Level 3 (unobservable) fair value determination in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 12) below.

9 WARRANTIES

The Company provides warranties on certain of its products as they are sold. The following table summarizes the Company’s warranty activity for the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023.

10 CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various legal actions and proceedings in the normal course of business, including those related to commercial disputes, product liability, intellectual property and regulatory matters. The Company is insured against loss for certain of these matters. Although litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, management does not believe the final outcome of any pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

11 INDEBTEDNESS

The Company had no debt outstanding at December 27, 2024, September 27, 2024, or December 29, 2023.

Revolver

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into an unsecured credit facility with PNC Bank National Association and Associated Bank, N.A. ("the Lending Group"). This credit facility consists of a $75 million Revolving Credit Facility among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, PNC Bank National Association, as lender and as administrative agent, and the other lender named therein (as amended, the “Credit Agreement” or “Revolver”). The Revolver provides for borrowing of up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000 with a $50,000 accordion feature that gives the Company the option to request an increase of the maximum financing availability (i.e., an aggregate borrowing amount of $125,000) subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement and subject to the approval of the lenders. On July 15, 2021, the Company entered into a First

- 12 -


Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

Amendment to this credit facility that extended its expiration date from November 15, 2022, to July 15, 2026. On January 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to this credit facility that reduced the Revolver to $50,000 (but maintained the accordion feature) and modified the terms of the Credit Agreement as disclosed below for the period from the amendment date until the earlier of (1) the Company’s compliance with both a 3.00x maximum leverage ratio and a 3.50x minimum interest coverage ratio for the trailing twelve month period or (2) delivery of the Company’s fiscal 2025 financial statements and compliance certificate (the “Second Amendment Period”):

•suspension of application of the maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios during the Second Amendment Period;

•the Company and its subsidiaries must maintain a $50,000 minimum cash balance;

•acquisition, dividends, repurchases and distributions permitted, provided the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a $50,000 minimum cash balance;

•monthly financial reporting if the facility availability is less than or equal to 95%; and

•the granting of a security interest in the Company’s personal property assets if the facility availability is less than or equal to 95%.

Other key provisions of the credit facility remained as outlined herein and the description herein is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the original Credit Agreement (a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the current report on Form 8-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2017), the First Amendment, (a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the current report on Form 8-K dated and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 16, 2021), and the aforementioned Second Amendment (a copy of which is filed with this Report as Exhibit 10.1).

The interest rate is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% and is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio for the trailing twelve month period. The interest rates on the Revolver at both December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 were approximately 5.5% and 6.5%, respectively. During the Second Amendment Period, the interest rate on borrowings under the Revolver will equal SOFR plus a 1.75% applicable margin.

The Credit Agreement restricts the Company's ability to incur additional debt, includes maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants and is unsecured, except as noted above during the Second Amendment Period.

Other Borrowings

The Company had no unsecured revolving credit facilities at its foreign subsidiaries as of December 27, 2024 or December 29, 2023. The Company utilizes letters of credit primarily as security for the payment of future claims under its workers’ compensation insurance, which totaled approximately $67 and $67 as of December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

12 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their fair values at December 27, 2024, September 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 due to the short term maturities of these instruments. See Note 13 for discussion of fair value of cash and cash equivalents. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company may be required to value certain long-lived assets such as property, plant, and equipment, and other intangibles at their fair value.

Valuation Techniques

Rabbi Trust Assets

Rabbi trust assets are classified as trading securities and are comprised of marketable debt and equity securities that are marked to fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. The rabbi trust assets are used to fund amounts the Company owes to certain officers and other employees under the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. These assets are included in "Other assets" in the accompanying Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the mark to market adjustments on the assets are recorded in “Other income, net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The offsetting deferred compensation liability is also reported at fair value as "Deferred compensation liability" in the Company's accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the liability are recorded in "Administrative management, finance and information systems" expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale, with fair values determined using significant other observable inputs, which include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices of similar securities, recently executed transactions, broker quotations, and other inputs that are observable.

13 CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company considers all short-term investments in interest bearing accounts and all securities and other instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company invested in marketable securities. The Company has classified all marketable securities as available-for-sale which requires the securities to be reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity.

At December 27, 2024, cost for marketable securities was determined using the specific identification method. A summary of the amortized costs and fair values of the Company’s marketable securities at the end of the period presented is shown in the following table. All of the Company’s marketable securities are classified as Level 2, as defined by FASB ASC 820, with fair values determined using significant other observable inputs, which include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices of similar securities, recently executed transactions, broker quotations, and other inputs that are observable.

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.

15 REVENUES

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our goods at a point in time based on shipping terms and transfer of title. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of consideration received can vary, primarily because of customer incentive or rebate arrangements. The

- 16 -


Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

Company estimates variable consideration based on the expected value of total consideration to which customers are likely to be entitled based on historical experience and projected market expectations. Included in the estimate is an assessment as to whether any variable consideration is constrained. Revenue estimates are adjusted at the earlier of a change in the expected value of consideration or when the consideration becomes fixed. For all contracts with customers, the Company has not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between the transfer of the promised goods and the customer's payment is expected to be one year or less. Sales are made on normal and customary short-term credit terms, generally ranging from 30 to 90 days, or upon delivery of point of sale transactions. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The Company enters into contractual arrangements with customers in the form of individual customer orders which specify the goods, quantity, pricing, and associated order terms. The Company does not have contracts which are satisfied over time. Due to the nature of these contracts, no significant judgment exists in relation to the identification of the customer contract, satisfaction of the performance obligation, or transaction price. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract due to the short-term nature of the contracts.

Estimated costs of returns, allowances and discounts, based on historic experience, are accrued as a reduction to sales when revenue is recognized. The Company provides customers the right to return eligible products under certain circumstances. At December 27, 2024, the right to returns asset was $1,384 and the accrued returns liability was $3,679. At December 29, 2023, the right to returns asset was $1,108 and the accrued returns liability was $2,723. The Company also offers assurance-type warranties relating to its products sold to end customers that continue to be accounted for under ASC 460 Guarantees.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment activity, consistent with the timing of revenue recognition; that is, when a customer takes control of the transferred goods. In the event that a customer were to take control of a product upon or after shipment, the Company has made an accounting policy election to treat such shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in "Net Sales," and shipping and handling costs are recognized within "Marketing and selling expenses" in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

The Company has a wide variety of seasonal, outdoor recreation products used primarily for fishing from a boat, diving, paddling, hiking and camping, that are sold to a variety of customers in multiple end markets. The revenue recognition policies are similar among all the various products sold by the Company.

See Note 16 for required disclosures of disaggregated revenue.

16 SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS

The Company conducts its worldwide operations through separate business segments, each of which represents major product lines. Operations are conducted in the United States and various foreign countries, primarily in Europe, Canada and the Pacific Basin.

The Company has historically reported "Camping" and "Watercraft Recreation" segments separately. As of December 27, 2024, the Company combined these two segments into one segment, "Camping & Watercraft Recreation", consistent with the manner in which its chief operating decision maker ("CODM") assesses performance and makes resource allocations. The operating segment change was for financial reporting purposes only and did not impact or result in changes to operations of the business segments, nor did it impact the Company's consolidated financial statements, but it did impact our previous segment footnote disclosure and the table below, including the corresponding items of segment information in prior year.

Net sales and operating profit include both sales to customers, as reported in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and interunit transfers, which are priced to recover cost plus an appropriate profit margin. Total assets represent assets that are used in the Company’s operations in each business segment at the end of the periods presented.

18 ACQUISITIONS

On October 25, 2024, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock of Endless Summer Technologies Proprietary, Ltd ("EST") and related patents and other assets used in EST's business and operations in a purchase transaction with EST's sole shareholder (the "Seller"). EST, based in Durban, South Africa, has been a long term supplier of products to the Company and it specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of scuba equipment through unique application of existing, new and emerging technologies. The EST acquisition is included in the Company's Diving segment, and is expected to provide new innovative products, unlock synergies and enhance operating efficiencies for the Diving segment.

The approximately $12,180 acquisition cost was funded with existing cash. Approximately $1,650 of the purchase price was paid into segregated escrow accounts which were set aside to fund (1) any potential downward purchase price adjustment tied to cash, debt and net working capital levels as of the closing or (2) potential indemnity claims that may be made by the Company against the Seller in connection with the inaccuracy of certain representations and warranties made by the Seller or related to the breach or nonperformance of certain other actions, agreements or conditions related to the acquisition, for a period of 24 months from the acquisition date. The Company cannot estimate the probability or likelihood of bringing such an indemnity claim against the Seller or any related costs at this time. The remaining escrow balance, if any, net of any indemnity claim then pending, will be released to the Seller once the 24 month period has lapsed.

Overview

The Company is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of branded seasonal outdoor recreation products used primarily for fishing, diving, paddling and camping. The Company’s portfolio of well-known consumer brands has attained leading market positions due to continuous innovation, marketing excellence, product performance and quality. The Company’s values and culture support innovation in all areas, promoting and leveraging best practices and synergies within and across its subsidiaries to advance the Company’s strategic vision set by executive management and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company is controlled by Helen P. Johnson-Leipold, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, members of her family and related entities.

Highlights

Net sales of $107,649 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $30,995, or 22%, from the same period in the prior year. The decrease between quarterly periods was primarily due to ongoing market challenges in many of the Company's product categories, a cautious retail and trade environment, as well as increasing competitive pressure, which resulted in weaker demand and revenue across all segments of the Company's outdoor recreation products. Unfavorable overhead absorption due to the lower sales volumes and unfavorable product mix more than offset the Company's cost saving initiatives and contributed to an 8.2 point decline in gross margin, as well as a $20,285 decrease in operating profit in the current year quarter versus the prior year quarter.

As of December 27, 2024, the Company has combined the previously reported "Camping" and "Watercraft Recreation" segments into one segment, referred to as "Camping & Watercraft Recreation".

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company's Diving segment acquired a scuba equipment manufacturer for $12,180, which is expected to provide new innovative products, unlock synergies and enhance operating efficiencies for this segment.

See “Note 16 – Segments of Business” of the notes to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the definition of segment net sales and operating profit.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended December 27, 2024 were $107,649, a decrease of $30,995, or 22%, compared to $138,644 for the three months ended December 29, 2023. Foreign currency translation had a negligible impact on current year first quarter net sales compared to the prior year's first quarter net sales.

Net sales for the three months ended December 27, 2024 for the Fishing business were $82,472, a decrease of $28,020, or 25%, from $110,492 during the first fiscal quarter of the prior year. Challenging consumer and trade dynamics, increased competitive pressure, and strong sell-in of new products in last year's quarter all contributed to the sales decline between quarters.

- 22 -


Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

Net sales for the Camping & Watercraft Recreation business were $9,451 for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, a decrease of $1,275, or 12%, from the prior year net sales during the same period of $10,726. The decrease is mainly attributable to declines in overall consumer demand for products in this market, primarily in the overall kayak industry.

Net sales for Diving for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $15,684, which declined $1,794, or 10%, compared to net sales of $17,478 for the three months ended December 29, 2023. The decline in sales over the prior year quarter was driven primarily by continued soft market demand across all geographic regions. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of less than 1% on sales in this segment versus the prior year quarter.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended December 27, 2024 of $75,466 decreased $10,324 compared to $85,790 for the three months ended December 29, 2023, mainly due to the decrease in sales volumes, and the unfavorable mix of higher cost product between quarters.

Gross Profit Margin

For the three months ended December 27, 2024, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 29.9% compared to 38.1% in the three month period ended December 29, 2023. The decline in gross profit percentage over the prior year quarter was primarily due to unfavorable overhead absorption as a result of lower sales volumes, promotional pricing on end-of-life products and changes in product mix toward lower margin products between quarters.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $52,422 for the three months ended December 27, 2024, compared to $52,808 for the three months ended December 29, 2023, for a decrease of $386 between quarters. Decreased sales volumes and a $2,590 decrease in expense related to the Company's deferred compensation plan were nearly offset by increased professional services and warranty expenses between periods.

Operating Loss/Profit

Operating loss on a consolidated basis for the three month period ended December 27, 2024 was $20,239, compared to operating profit of $46 in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. As discussed above, the decrease in operating profit between quarters is driven by lower sales volumes.

Interest

Interest expense was $47 and $38 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

Interest income was $1,033 and $1,198 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively.

Other Expense (Income), net

Other income was $326 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 compared to $4,693 in the prior year period. The main driver of the $4,367 decrease over the prior year quarter was a $2,590 decrease in net investment gains and earnings on the assets related to the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan in the current year quarter over the prior year quarter. Additionally, the prior year included a gain on the sale of building of approximately $1,900. For the three months ended December 27, 2024, foreign currency exchange gains were $203 compared to losses of $191 for the three months ended December 29, 2023.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual effective tax rates in the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 28, 2024 was a tax benefit of 19.2%, due to the decline in profit before taxes, as well as geographic mix of profits and losses.

Net Loss/Income

- 23 -


Index			JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC.

Net loss for the three months ended December 27, 2024 was $15,290, or $1.49 per diluted common class A and B share, compared to net income of $3,955, or $0.38 per diluted common class A and B share, for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments totaled $101,617 as of December 27, 2024, compared to $109,555 as of December 29, 2023. The Company’s debt to total capitalization ratio was 0% as of December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023. The Company’s total debt balance was $0 as of each of December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023. See “Note 11 – Indebtedness” in the notes to the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, were $68,297 as of December 27, 2024, a decrease of $14,746 compared to $83,043 as of December 29, 2023. The decrease is consistent with the decreased sales volumes year over year. Inventories were $201,606 as of December 27, 2024, a decrease of $65,715, compared to $267,321 as of December 29, 2023. The decrease is consistent with the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce inventory balances. Accounts payable were $33,491 at December 27, 2024 compared to $43,403 as of December 29, 2023.

The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as presented in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table:


	Three months ended
(thousands)	December 27, 2024		December 29, 2023
Cash (used for) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(36,909)	$	(33,687)
Investing activities	(6,500)		4,685
Financing activities	(3,450)		(3,588)
Effect of foreign currency rate changes on cash	(3,369)		1,197
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(50,228)	$	(31,393)

Operating Activities

Cash used for operations totaled $36,909 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 compared to $33,687 during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cash provided by operations over the prior year three month period was due primarily to lower income on decreased sales volumes between quarters, offset in part by cash provided by working capital reductions between quarters. Depreciation and amortization charges were $4,803 for the three month period ended December 27, 2024 compared to $5,027 for the corresponding period of the prior year.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities totaled $6,500 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $4,685 for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Current year cash used for investing activities reflects $12,180 paid to acquire a business, partially offset by maturity of investments of $9,764. The prior year period included proceeds from maturity of investments of $7,500, as well as proceeds from the sale of a building of $2,189. Capital expenditures were $4,084 in the three months ended December 27, 2024, compared to $5,004 in the prior year to date period which included investments in expansion of Fishing facilities to accommodate additional production. Any additional capital expenditures in fiscal 2025 are expected to be funded by working capital.

Financing Activities

Cash used for financing activities totaled $3,450 for the three months ended December 27, 2024 compared to $3,588 for the three month period ended December 29, 2023 and, for both periods, represents the payment of dividends and purchase of treasury stock. The Company had no debt during either three month period ended December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023. See Note 11 "Indebtedness" to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our credit facilities.

There have been no significant changes to our market risk in the three months ended December 27, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching a level of reasonable assurance. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has designed its disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
