VISTA OUTDOOR INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)
1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations—Vista Outdoor Inc. (together with our subsidiaries, "Vista Outdoor", "we", "our", and "us", unless the context otherwise requires) is a leading global designer, manufacturer, and marketer of outdoor recreation and shooting sports products. We operate through four reportable segments, The Kinetic Group, Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology. We are headquartered in Anoka, Minnesota and have manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico along with international customer service, sales and sourcing operations in Asia and Europe. We have a robust global distribution network serving customers in over 100 countries. Vista Outdoor was incorporated in Delaware in 2014.
Basis of Presentation—Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain disclosures and other financial information that normally are required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. Management is responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, which in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (“fiscal year 2024”), which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ from those estimates. We review our estimates to ensure that these estimates properly reflect changes in our business or as new information becomes available. See our discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure our financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis:
Derivative Financial Instruments
Hedging instruments (see Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments), are re-measured on a recurring basis using broker quotes, daily market foreign currency rates, and interest rate curves as applicable and are therefore categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent Consideration

Following is a summary of our contingent consideration liability Level 3 activity:
| March 31, 2024 | $ | |||||||
| Payments made | ( | |||||||
| Balance, September 30, 2024 | $ | |||||||
Contingent consideration liabilities are reported under the following captions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

| Other current liabilities | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Other long-term liabilities | ||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of our receivables, inventory, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The table below discloses information about carrying values and estimated fair value relating to our financial assets and liabilities:
| September 30, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Fixed rate debt(1) | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Variable rate debt(2) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) Fixed rate debt—In fiscal year 2021, we issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.5 % Senior Notes which will mature on March 15, 2029. These notes are unsecured and senior obligations. The fair value of the fixed-rate debt is based on market quotes for each issuance. We consider these to be Level 2 instruments. See Note 14, Long-term Debt, for information on our credit facilities, including certain risks and uncertainties.
(2) Variable rate debt— The carrying value of the amounts outstanding under our ABL Revolving Credit Facility approximates the fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates as of September 30, 2024. The fair value of this debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observable market borrowing rates. See Note 14, Long-term Debt, for additional information on our credit facilities, including related certain risks and uncertainties.
We periodically evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including amortizing intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable or exceeds its fair value. These assets include long-lived assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. See Note 7, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for discussion of impairment recorded during the first fiscal quarter of 2025 related to a divestiture completed in the second fiscal quarter of 2025. See Note 3, Leases, for discussion of right of use asset (ROU) impairments during the first fiscal quarter of 2025. Significant assumptions were used to estimate fair value of long-lived assets, which were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 13, Restructuring, for discussion of long-lived asset impairments related to our GEAR Up restructuring plan during the first fiscal quarter of 2025.

3. Leases
We lease certain warehouse and distribution space, manufacturing space, office space, retail locations, equipment, and vehicles. All of these leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. These rates are assessed on a quarterly basis. The operating lease assets also include any lease payments less lease incentives. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheets. For operating leases, expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments associated with our leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Tenant improvement allowances are recorded as leasehold improvements with an offsetting adjustment included in our calculation of its right-of-use asset.
Many leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to five years . The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.
The amounts of assets and liabilities related to our operating leases were as follows:

As part of our GEAR Up restructuring plan, we made a strategic decision to close and impair office locations that were no longer being used as intended or are actively being marketed for sublease. Accordingly, during the first fiscal quarter of 2025, we recognized a ROU asset impairment of $1,612 reducing the carrying value of the lease asset to its estimated fair value, which is included in selling, general, and administrative on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
Commodity Price Risk
We use designated cash flow hedges to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on lead we purchase for raw material components in our ammunition manufacturing process that are designated and qualify as effective cash flow hedges. The effectiveness of cash flow hedge contracts is assessed quantitatively at inception and qualitatively thereafter considering the transactions critical terms and counterparty credit quality.
The gains and losses on these hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into earnings at the time the forecasted revenue or expense is recognized. The gains or losses on the lead forward contracts are recorded in inventory as the commodities are purchased and in cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding lead forward contracts on approximately 6.5 million pounds of lead. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the related change in fair value of the derivative instrument would be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings. The asset related to the lead forward contracts is immaterial and is recorded as part of other current assets.
Foreign Exchange Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of our international subsidiaries. We use designated cash flow hedges in the form of foreign currency forward contracts as part of our strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and to mitigate the impact of foreign currency translation on transactions that are denominated primarily in British Pounds, Euros, and Canadian Dollars.
Cash Flow Hedging Instrument
We use foreign currency forward contracts designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments to help mitigate our exposure on our foreign subsidiaries' inventory purchases and intercompany transactions, which is different than their functional currency. Certain U.S. subsidiaries also hedge a portion of their future sales in Canadian Dollars. These contracts
9
generally mature within 12 months from their inception. As of September 30, 2024, the notional amounts of our foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedge instruments were approximately $24,357 . The effectiveness of cash flow hedge contracts is assessed quantitatively at inception and qualitatively thereafter considering the transactions critical terms and counterparty credit quality.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023, we recorded net foreign currency translation realized and unrealized gain (loss) of $249 and $(715 ), respectively, and for the six month ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023 we recorded realized and unrealized net foreign currency translation gain (loss) of $170 and $(476 ), respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income within other expense, net.
Interest Rate Swaps
During fiscal year 2023, we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps in order to mitigate the risk of changes in our interest rates on our outstanding variable-rate debt. We will receive variable interest payments from the counterparty lenders in exchange for fixed interest rate payments made by us. As of September 30, 2024, we had the following interest rate swaps outstanding:
| Notional | Fair value | Pay fixed | Receive floating | Maturity date | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Non-amortizing swap | $ | $ | ( | Feb 2026 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Non-amortizing swap | ( | Mar 2026 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The amount paid or received under these swaps is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. All unrealized gains and losses as shown as of September 30, 2024 will be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income in interest expense within the next fiscal year, at their then-current value.
The following tables summarize the fair value of our derivative instruments as well as the location of the asset and/or liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets:

5. Revenue Recognition
Our disaggregated revenue is fully disclosed by reportable segments and by geographic area in Note 18, Operating Segment Information.
For the majority of our contracts with customers, we recognize revenue for our products at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the products to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment and coincides with our right to payment, the transfer of legal title, and the transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product. For our contracts that include bundled hardware and software sales, revenue related to delivered hardware and bundled software is recognized when control has transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment. The immaterial amount of revenue allocated to unspecified software update rights is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period they are expected to be provided.
Typically, our contracts require customers to pay within 30 -60 days of product delivery with a discount available to some customers for early payment. In some cases, we offer extended payment terms to customers. However, we do not consider these extended payment terms to be a significant financing component of the contract because the payment terms are less than a year.
Our contracts with customers may have shipping terms that indicate a transfer of control of the products upon their arrival at the destination rather than upon shipment. In those cases, we recognize revenue only when the product reaches the customer destination, which may require us to estimate the timing of transfer of control based on the expected delivery date. In all cases, however, we consider our costs related to shipping and handling to be a cost of fulfilling the contract with the customer.
The total amount of revenue we recognize for the sale of our products reflects various sales adjustments for discounts, returns, refunds, allowances, rebates, and other customer incentives. These sales adjustments can vary based on market conditions, customer preferences, timing of customer payments, volume of products sold, and timing of new product launches. These adjustments require management to make reasonable estimates of the amount we expect to receive from the customer. We estimate sales adjustments by customer or by product category on the basis of our historical experience with similar contracts with customers, adjusted as necessary to reflect current facts and circumstances and our expectations for the future. Sales taxes, federal excise taxes, and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
For our contracts that have multiple performance obligations, which represent promises within an arrangement that are distinct, we allocate revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”). When available, we use observable prices to determine SSPs. When observable prices are not available, SSPs are established that reflect our best estimates of what the selling prices of the performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. We allocate revenue and any related discounts to these performance obligations based on their relative SSPs.
Incentives in the form of cash paid to the customer (or a reduction of a customer cash payment to us) typically are recognized as a reduction of sales unless the incentive is for a distinct benefit that we receive from the customer, e.g., advertising or marketing.

6. Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares, such as common stock to be issued upon exercise of options, contingently issuable shares and restricted stock units, using the treasury stock method.
In computing EPS for the periods presented, earnings, as reported for each respective period, is divided by the number of shares below:
| Three months ended | Six months ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) Potentially dilutive securities, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because either the effect would have been anti-dilutive, or the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock were 0 and 0 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 13 and 122 for the three and six months ended September 24, 2023, respectively.
7. Divestitures and Acquisitions
Divestitures
On July 7, 2024, we sold our wood pellet manufacturing company, Fiber Energy Products. The assets of this business represented a portion of our Revelyst Outdoor Performance reportable segment. The decision to divest this business during the first fiscal quarter of 2025 triggered a quantitative impairment analysis as of June 30, 2024. We recorded a $6,336 fixed asset impairment during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 to write down the carrying value of the Fiber Energy facilities and equipment to their fair value, which is included in selling, general, and administrative on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The key assumption in the fair value analysis was the proposed purchase price as of June 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a pre-tax loss on this divestiture of approximately $872 , which is included in (gain) loss on divestitures on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The loss was mostly related to transaction related expenses. This transaction does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations as it does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our ongoing operations
On May 1, 2024, we completed the divestiture of the RCBS brand. The assets of this business represented a portion of our Revelyst Outdoor Performance reportable segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a pre-tax gain on this divestiture of approximately $19,659 , which is included in (gain) loss on divestitures on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This transaction does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations as it does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our ongoing operations.
Acquisitions
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we acquired PinSeeker, a leader in virtual network of golfers, allowing players to compete globally in real-time. The results of this business are reported within the Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segment. We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and performed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. We finalized the purchase price allocation during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, and no significant changes were recorded from the original estimation. The
12
acquisition is not significant to our consolidated financial statements and as such we have not included disclosures of the allocation of the purchase price or any pro forma information.
8. Receivables
Our trade accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an appropriate allowance for estimated credit losses as described in Note 1, The Company and Basis of Presentation. We maintain an allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable for future expected credit losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. We estimate the allowance based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances and the customers' financial condition, and in relation to a representative pool of assets consisting of a large number of customers with similar risk characteristics. The allowance is adjusted as appropriate to reflect differences in current conditions as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, including those associated with customers that have a higher probability of default.
Net receivables are summarized as follows:

The net decrease in the gross intangible assets during the six months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the divestiture of RCBS non-amortizing trade names during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Amortization expense related to these assets was $12,482 and $12,629 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023 respectively, and was $24,965 and $25,336 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024, we expect amortization expense related to these assets to be as follows:

13. Restructuring
As part of our restructuring plans, we have and will incur severance and employee related costs, professional fees, ROU asset impairments and other exit and disposal costs which are recorded in Selling, general, and administrative in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Severance and employee related costs consist primarily of salary continuation benefits, outplacement services and continuation of health benefits. Severance and employee related benefits are pursuant to our severance plan and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, based upon the characteristics of the termination benefits being provided in the restructuring, pursuant to our severance plan. Severance and employee related costs are recognized when the benefits are determined to be
15
probable of being paid and reasonably estimable. Professional fees, contract termination costs and other exit and disposal costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and are recognized as incurred. Asset impairments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ROU asset impairments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Restructuring accruals are based upon management estimates at the time and are subject to change depending upon changes in facts and circumstances subsequent to the date the original liability was recorded.
During fiscal year 2024, we initiated the GEAR Up transformation program. GEAR Up is an efficiency and cost savings initiative program, to accelerate growth and transformation within our Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segments. We made changes to the structure of our organization during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024, which resulted in our previous Revelyst reportable segment being reorganized into three new reportable segments. We further finalized plans to centralize certain functions under shared services to better support our segments. We also announced plans to geographically consolidate the businesses within Revelyst Adventure Sports, Revelyst Outdoor Performance and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology. These geographic relocations are expected to be completed during fiscal year 2025.
For GEAR Up, we are estimating pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $40,000 to $50,000 over the duration of the plan. We expect these charges to be completed during fiscal 2027. All pre-tax restructuring charges will be recorded as corporate expense, and not allocated to our reportable segments.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $7,093 and $12,283 of pre-tax restructuring costs in connection with GEAR Up, which are recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, we announced a cost reduction and earnings improvement program. That program was substantially completed as of March 31, 2024, with only immaterial accruals related to employee costs remaining as of September 30, 2024.
The following tables summarize restructuring charges recorded as a result of our restructuring programs for the periods presented:

Credit Agreements—In fiscal year 2023, we refinanced our 2021 ABL Revolving Credit Facility by entering into the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, which provides for a $600,000 senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The amount available under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility is the lesser of the total commitment of $600,000 or a borrowing base based on percentages of eligible receivables, inventory, and cash, minus certain reserves, but, in each case, subject to the excess availability financial covenant under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility described below. As of September 30, 2024, the Excess Availability, or the amount available to borrow under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, based on the borrowing base less outstanding borrowings of $90,000 and outstanding letters of credit of $13,956 , less the minimum required borrowing base of $57,000 , was $336,050 . The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to a customary springing maturity in respect of the 4.5 % Notes due 2029 (described below). Any outstanding revolving loans under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility will be payable in full on the Maturity Date.
Concurrently with the effectiveness of the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, we also obtained a $350,000 senior secured asset-based term loan facility (the “2022 Term Loan”). The 2022 Term Loan was paid off during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Borrowings under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 0.75 % or the sum of a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Term SOFR") plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 %, plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 1.75 %. The margins vary based on our Average Excess Availability under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2024, the margin under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility was 0.50 % for base rate loans and 1.50 % for Term SOFR loans. We pay a commitment fee on the unused commitments under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility of 0.175 % per annum.
As of September 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for our borrowings under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility was 6.20 %.
Debt issuance costs incurred to date related to the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility were approximately $11,310 , which included remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2021 ABL Credit Facility. The costs are being amortized over the term of the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and are included within other current and non-current assets.
Substantially all domestic tangible and intangible assets of Vista Outdoor and our domestic subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
Rank and guarantees—The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility obligation is guaranteed on a secured basis, jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Vista Outdoor (the parent company issuer) has no independent assets or operations. We own 100 % of all of these guarantor subsidiaries. The 4.5 % Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Vista Outdoor and will rank equally in right of payment with any future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of Vista Outdoor. The 4.5 % Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility that incur or guarantee certain of our other indebtedness, or indebtedness of any subsidiary guarantor, in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $75,000 . These guarantees are senior unsecured obligations
17
of the applicable subsidiary guarantors. The guarantee by any subsidiary guarantor of our obligations in respect of the 4.5 % Notes will be released in any of the following circumstances:
•if, as a result of the sale of its capital stock, such subsidiary guarantor ceases to be a restricted subsidiary,
•if such subsidiary guarantor is designated as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”,
•upon defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the 4.5 % Notes, or
•if such subsidiary guarantor has been released from its guarantees of indebtedness under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and all capital markets debt securities
Covenants
2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility—Our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility imposes restrictions on us, including limitations on our ability to pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase Vista Outdoor stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets. The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant which requires that Excess Availability under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility cannot fall below the greater of (a) 10 % of the line cap or (b) $57,000 . As a result of this financial covenant, we must maintain Excess Availability of at least the greater of 10 % of the line cap or $57,000 at all times in order to satisfy the financial covenant. The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility includes a covenant that prohibits the “Planned Separation” (as defined in Vista Outdoor’s Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022) with respect to the separation of Vista Outdoor’s Revelyst and The Kinetic Group segments or any analogous transaction with respect to any line of business, business segment or division (or any part thereof) of Vista Outdoor or any subsidiary thereof. In October 2023, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement to sell The Kinetic Group business to Czechoslovak Group a.s. (“CSG”) on a cash-free, debt-free basis with a normalized level of working capital (the "The Kinetic Group Sale" or the “Sporting Products Sale”). See Sale of The Kinetic Group and Planned Separation in the Executive Summary and Financial Highlights of Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the Sporting Products Sale. Vista Outdoor anticipates that the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility will be repaid in full (or amended to unconditionally release all The Kinetic Group entities from their obligations thereunder) prior to or upon the consummation of the Sporting Products Sale. If we do not comply with the covenants in the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under such facility. As noted above, the Excess Availability less the minimum required borrowing base under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility was $336,050 as of September 30, 2024. Vista Outdoor has the option to increase the amount of the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150,000 , to the extent that any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, commits to be a lender for such amount.
The 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 4.5 % Notes contain cross-default provisions so that noncompliance with the covenants within one debt agreement could also cause a default under the other debt agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants of all of our debt agreements. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to comply with such financial covenants in the future due to various risks and uncertainties, some of which may be beyond our control. Any failure to comply with the restrictions in the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility may prevent us from drawing under these loans and may result in an event of default under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, which default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related indebtedness and the indebtedness under our 4.5 % Notes and proceed against the collateral that secures such indebtedness. We may not have sufficient liquidity to repay the indebtedness in such circumstances.
15. Employee Benefit Plans
We recognized an aggregate net loss of $415 and $237 for employee defined benefit plans during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively.
18
We recognized an aggregate net loss of $830 and $474 for employee defined benefit plans during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively.
Employer contributions and distributions—We made contributions of $3,500 and $0 to our pension trust during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively. Substantially all contributions made to our pension trust were required by local funding requirements. We currently expect to make additional contributions of $800 during fiscal year 2025. Required future pension contributions are estimated based upon assumptions such as discount rates on future obligations, assumed rates of return on plan assets, and legislative changes. Actual future pension costs and required funding obligations will be affected by changes to these assumptions.
For those same periods, we made no contributions to our other postretirement benefit plans, and we made no distributions to retirees under our non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan. No additional contributions are required, and we are not expecting to make any contributions to our other postretirement benefit plans, or directly to retirees under our non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans for the remainder of fiscal year 2025.
16. Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, and state income taxes. Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on the estimated effective annual income tax rates for the current year and the prior year.
The income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023 represent effective tax rates of 27.6 % and 23.4 %, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate from the prior year three month period is primarily driven by the re-establishment of the valuation allowance related to capital losses carried forward caused by the divestiture that occurred in the current quarter.
The income tax provisions for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023 represent effective tax rates of 23.5 % and 23.1 %, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate from the prior year six month period is primarily driven by the increase in nondeductible executive compensation offset in part by the decrease in non-taxable contingent consideration income recognized during the prior year period.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023 is reflective of the federal statutory rate of 21% increased by the state taxes and reserves for uncertain tax positions and decreased by the deduction for research and development tax credit.
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, totaled $29,609 and $47,092 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively.
We have classified uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid within one year . As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, that have not been recorded in the financial statements amounted to $27,489 and $24,853 , respectively. It is expected that a $857 reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits will occur in the next 12 months. The settlement of these unrecognized tax benefits could result in earnings from $0 to $683 .
17. Commitments and Contingencies
We lease certain warehouse, distribution and office facilities, vehicles, and office equipment under operating leases. These operating lease liabilities represent commitments for minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases in the amount of $162,691 . See Note 3, Leases.
Litigation
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. We do not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
19
Environmental liabilities
Our operations and ownership or use of real property are subject to a number of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as applicable foreign laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of hazardous materials, remediation of contaminated sites, and restoration of damage to the environment. We are obligated to conduct investigation and/or remediation activities at certain sites that we own or operate or formerly owned or operated.
Certain of our former subsidiaries have been identified as PRPs, along with other parties, in regulatory agency actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, those former subsidiaries may be required to pay a share of the costs of the investigation and clean-up of these sites. In that event, we would be obligated to indemnify those subsidiaries for those costs. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we have concluded that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows. We have recorded a liability for environmental remediation of $154 as of September 30, 2024 and $280 as of March 31, 2024.
We could incur substantial additional costs, including cleanup costs, resource restoration, fines, and penalties or third-party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of violations or liabilities under environmental laws or non-compliance with environmental permits. While environmental laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows in the past, and we have environmental management programs in place to mitigate these risks, it is difficult to predict whether they will have a material impact in the future.
18. Operating Segment Information
We are currently organized into four three reportable segments, Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology based on brand portfolios. Our segment reporting is based upon the "management approach," i.e., how we organize operating segments for which separate financial information is (1) available and (2) evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODMs) are our two Co-Chief Executive Officers.
•The Kinetic Group consists of our ammunition brands. The primary products of this segment include ammunition used for training, hunting, target shooting and personal protection.
•Revelyst Outdoor Performance primarily consists of our outdoor cooking, fishing, outdoor accessories and technical gear and apparel brands. The primary products of this segment include waders, sportswear, outerwear, footwear and fishing tools and accessories, performance optics, outdoor accessories and outdoor cooking equipment.
•Revelyst Adventure Sports primarily consists of our protective gear and apparel, footwear, hydration and e-mobility brands. The primary products of this segment include motocross, mountain biking, cycling, and snow sports protection and accessories, as well as bike hydration packs and water bottles, and e-bikes.
•Revelyst Precision Sports Technology primarily consists of our golf technology brands. The primary products of this segment include high-performance golf GPS devices, laser rangefinders and launch monitors.
Our CODMs rely on internal management reporting that analyzes our segment operating income. Certain corporate-related costs and other non-recurring costs are not allocated to the segments in order to present comparable results from period to period and are not utilized by management in determining segment profitability. As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODMs to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets are not presented below.
No customer contributed more than 10% of sales during six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023. Sales to no individual country outside the U.S. accounted for more than 5% of our sales for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023. Our sales to foreign customers were $226,709 and $244,649 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, approximately 29 %, 9 %, 51 %, and 11 % of these sales were in The Kinetic Group, Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology, respectively.

Executive Summary and Financial Highlights
Vista Outdoor is a leading global designer, manufacturer, and marketer of outdoor recreation and shooting sports products.
We operate through four reportable segments: The Kinetic Group, Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we modified our reportable segments. Accordingly, prior comparative periods have been restated to conform to the change. Information regarding our segments is further discussed below and in Note 18, Operating Segment Information, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
•The Kinetic Group consists of our ammunition brands. The primary products of this segment include ammunition used for training, hunting, target shooting and personal protection.
24
•Revelyst Outdoor Performance primarily consists of our outdoor cooking, fishing, outdoor accessories and technical gear and apparel brands. The primary products of this segment include waders, sportswear, outerwear, footwear and fishing tools and accessories, performance optics, outdoor accessories and outdoor cooking equipment.
•Revelyst Adventure Sports primarily consists of our protective gear and apparel, footwear, hydration and e-mobility brands. The primary products of this segment include motocross, mountain biking, cycling, and snow sports protection and accessories, as well as bike hydration packs and water bottles, and e-bikes.
•Revelyst Precision Sports Technology primarily consists of our golf technology brands. The primary products of this segment include high-performance golf GPS devices, laser rangefinders and launch monitors.
•In addition, we present a “Corporate” category for purposes of reconciliation, which is not considered a reportable segment.
Management currently considers the following events, results, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition, operating performance and significant events:
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net sales decreased $10,893 or 1.6% as compared to the prior year quarter. Within The Kinetic Group, sales increased by $1,821 or 0.5%, which was a result of increased price. The Kinetic Group reported a $2,107 or 1.8% decrease in gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to increased input costs, primarily for copper and powder, as compared to the prior year quarter. The Kinetic Group reported an decrease of $5,255 or 5.7% in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was caused by a decrease in gross profit and an increase in incentive compensation. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, sales within our Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology segments (Revelyst segments) decreased $12,714 or 3.9% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to volume decreases within Revelyst Adventure Sports, the divestitures of RCBS and Fiber Energy and lower volume at Simms Fishing within Revelyst Outdoor Performance. The decline was partially offset by increased net sales within Revelyst Precision Sports Technology caused by higher volume, which was primarily driven by new product introductions, increased volume at Bushnell within Revelyst Outdoor Performance and increased volume at Giro within Revelyst Adventure Sports. The Revelyst segments reported an improvement of $8,631 or 67.1% in operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a $4,666 or 5.0% increase in gross profit, improved inventory health and the divestiture of Fiber Energy within our Revelyst Outdoor Performance segment and improved inventory health within our Revelyst Adventure Sports segment, which was partially offset primarily by increased discounting at Bushnell Golf within the Revelyst Precision Sports Technology segment.
We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet with capital allocation focused on debt paydown. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $80,543. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, outstanding borrowings under our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility decreased by $130,000, decreasing our total debt to $590,000. Our total debt as a percentage of total capitalization (total debt and stockholders' equity) decreased to 32.4% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 39.0% as of March 31, 2024. Our ongoing management inventory program and divestiture created a decrease of $26,147 or 7.9% in inventory levels within the Revelyst segments since the prior fiscal year-end.
GEAR Up Transformation Program
During fiscal year 2024, we initiated the GEAR Up transformation program. GEAR Up is an efficiency and cost savings initiative program, to accelerate growth and transformation within our Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports, and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology reportable segments. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, savings from the GEAR Up program contributed $11,600 in cost savings, and we expect to realize $25,000 to $30,000 of savings in Fiscal Year 2025 across our key GEAR Up focus areas. We expect to realize $100,000 of run rate cost savings by fiscal year 2027. We are estimating pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $40,000 to $50,000 over the duration of the plan and expect these charges to be completed by fiscal year 2027. All restructuring charges will be recorded as corporate expenses, and not allocated to our reportable segments. See Note 13, Restructuring, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information .
Sale of The Kinetic Group and the Revelyst Transaction
October 15, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Revelyst, Inc. (“Revelyst”), CSG Elevate II Inc. (“Merger Sub Parent”), CSG Elevate III Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the purposes of specific provisions therein, CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s. (“CSG”), to sell The Kinetic Group business (formerly the Sporting Products business) to CSG, for an enterprise value of $1,910,000 (the "base purchase price") on a cash-free, debt-free basis subject to working capital adjustments, in an all-cash transaction (the “Sporting Products Sale”). The Sporting Products Sale represents the next step in Vista Outdoor’s plan to split Vista Outdoor into two separate
25
entities, which was previously announced on May 5, 2022. Pursuant to a Separation Agreement entered into between Vista Outdoor and Revelyst simultaneously with the entry into the Merger Agreement (as amended and restated on October 4, 2024, the “Separation Agreement”), Vista Outdoor will separate its Revelyst Outdoor Performance, Revelyst Adventure Sports and Revelyst Precision Sports Technology segments (together, the “Revelyst business”, formerly the Outdoor Products business) from The Kinetic Group business by transferring the assets and liabilities of the Revelyst business to a wholly owned subsidiary of Vista Outdoor, Revelyst, following which CSG will merge one of its subsidiaries with Vista Outdoor (holding only The Kinetic Group business), with each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Vista Outdoor ("Vista Outdoor Common Stock") outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of such transaction (other than shares held by Vista Outdoor, its subsidiaries or CSG, which will be canceled, and shares subject to appraisal demands in connection with the Sporting Products Sale) being converted into the right to receive (a) one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of Revelyst (“Revelyst Common Stock”) and (b) $12.90 in cash (“Cash Consideration”).
On May 27, 2024, the parties entered into the first amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment:
1.increased the base purchase price from $1,910,000 to $1,960,000;
2.increased the Cash Consideration from $12.90 to $16.00 in cash per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock; and
3.provided that certain Vista Outdoor restricted stock units held by Vista Outdoor employees will be converted into restricted cash awards, subject to the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Vista Outdoor restricted stock units, including vesting terms, to the extent necessary to address adverse tax consequences to such employees and Vista Outdoor under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.
On June 23, 2024, the parties entered into the second amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment:
1.increased the base purchase price from $1,960,000 to $2,000,000; and
2.increased the Cash Consideration from $16.00 to $18.00 in cash per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock.
On July 7, 2024, the parties entered into the third amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment:
1.increased the base purchase price from $2,000,000 to $2,100,000; and
2.increased the Cash Consideration from $18.00 to $21.00 in cash per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock.
On July 21, 2024, the parties entered into the fourth amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment:
1.increased the base purchase price from $2,100,000 to $2,150,000; and
2.increased the Cash Consideration from $21.00 to $24.00 in cash per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock.
On July 30, 2024, we announced our Board of Directors decided to commence a review of strategic alternatives which included: (i) the exploration of a full range of alternatives for Revelyst, including a potential sale of Revelyst, (ii) engagement with MNC Capital and its private equity partner with respect to its proposal to acquire the Company in an all-cash transaction for $42.00 per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock, and (iii) continued consideration of the separation of Revelyst and The Kinetic Group through a spin-off. CSG was also considering an acquisition of Revelyst with potential partners (in addition to its proposed acquisition of The Kinetic Group).
On September 12, 2024, the parties entered into the Fifth Merger Agreement Amendment. The Fifth Merger Agreement Amendment:
1.provided for Revelyst to issue Vista Outdoor additional shares of Revelyst Common Stock in an amount equal to the number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock equal to 7.5% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of Revelyst Common Stock as of the closing of the Sporting Products Sale (after giving effect to the Contribution (as defined in the Separation Agreement) including, for the avoidance of doubt, the shares of Revelyst Common Stock to be transferred by Vista Outdoor to Merger Sub Parent) (the “Revelyst Purchased Shares”) prior to the sale of such shares from Vista Outdoor to Merger Sub Parent;
26
2.provided that immediately prior to the closing of the Sporting Products Sale, Merger Sub Parent would purchase from Vista Outdoor the Revelyst Purchased Shares for $150,000 (“Revelyst Purchased Shares Purchase Price”) (the “Revelyst Investment”);
3.provided that following payment of the Revelyst Purchased Shares Purchase Price, Vista Outdoor would contribute such amount to Revelyst to be paid to Vista Outdoor stockholders as part of the Cash Consideration; and
4.increased the Cash Consideration from $24.00 to $28.00 in cash per share of Vista Outdoor Common Stock.

3.extended the end date for the Sporting Products Sale to December 11, 2024; and
4.eliminated the Revelyst Investment.
On October 4, 2024, we completed certain portions of the legal and structural separation of Revelyst, Inc. from Vista Outdoor. To effect the structural separation, we undertook certain pre-spin-off transactions described below:
1.Vista Outdoor contributed its equity interest in certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries to its wholly owned subsidiary Revelyst, Inc.
The Sporting Products Sale is subject to approval of our stockholders and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the proposed transaction or that the Sporting Products Sale will be completed.
On October 4, 2024, we entered into an agreement with Revelyst, Cabin Ridge Inc. (“SVP Merger Sub”) and Olibre LLC (“SVP Parent”) (“Revelyst Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, following the completion of the Sporting Products Sale and subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, SVP Merger Sub will be merged with and into Revelyst (holding only the Revelyst business), with Revelyst surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SVP Parent (the “Revelyst Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Revelyst Merger Agreement and the related transaction documents, in each case as amended from time to time, the “Revelyst Transaction”). Each share of Revelyst Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of such transaction (including shares of Revelyst Common Stock received by Vista Outdoor stockholders as part of the Sporting Products Sale) (other than any such shares of Revelyst Common Stock held by Revelyst, its subsidiaries or SVP Parent) will be converted into the right to receive merger consideration in an amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Revelyst Merger Agreement, using a base purchase price of $1,125,000. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the Revelyst Merger Agreement or that it will be completed.
Divestitures
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we completed the divestiture of the RCBS brand. This business was part of the Revelyst Outdoor Performance reportable segment. See Note 7, Divestitures and Acquisitions, for discussion of the pre-tax gain recorded during the first fiscal quarter of 2025 related to this divestiture.

RCBS and Fiber Energy Products contributed approximately $30,000 of total combined sales in fiscal year 2024.

Outlook
Ammunition Industry
While macroeconomic conditions pressure consumer purchasing, the firearms industry continues to maintain sales levels. For the 62nd straight month, NICS data surpassed more than one million firearms checks. The Kinetic Group continues to navigate a dynamic environment, including a global powder shortage, increasing input costs including for copper and powder, and competitive market pricing, with a continued focus on execution and delivering on our financial expectations.
Outdoor Recreation Industry
According to the 2024 Outdoor Participation Trends Report, "the growth of outdoor participation that began in 2016 and accelerated during the COVID pandemic is showing few signs of slowing as the outdoor participation base grew larger again this year to a record 175.8 million participants. This represents 57.3% of all Americans aged six and older". The participants increased across demographics and activities as we see new and young recreation participants driving growth and diversity in the participation base, including increasing numbers of women, people of color and seniors. We believe that we are well positioned to capture additional share of participants' wallets through new, innovative product launches, cross-collaborations and exciting partnerships despite challenges related to market softness. Specifically at Simms Fishing, we hold a dominant position in waders and are gaining share in sportswear; at Bushnell Golf, we continue to set the standard with our leading position; and at Fox, Bell, Giro and CamelBak we are capturing share across numerous categories, including Helmets, Mountain Bike Protection and Bike Hydration. We remain focused on driving growth and share gains regardless of market conditions and are poised to revolutionize our future through innovative product and technology offerings, as well as leading partnerships.
Current Economic Conditions
Commodity Price Risk
We have been impacted by changes in the prices of raw materials used in production as well as changes in oil and energy costs. In particular, recent increases in the cost of raw materials used in propellants, along with the volatility of commodity metals continue to impact The Kinetic Group segment. We have a strategic sourcing, pricing and hedging strategy to mitigate risk from commodity price fluctuation. See Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for more detail. We will continue to evaluate the need for future price changes in light of these trends, our competitive landscape, and our financial results. If our sourcing and pricing strategy is unable to offset impacts of the commodity price fluctuations, our future results from operations and cash flows would be materially impacted.
Inflation and Consumer Spending
We continue to be exposed to inflationary factors, which may adversely affect our operating results, including higher costs of products and operating costs within our Revelyst segments. Increased material costs due to inflation have caused decreases in the Kinetic Group segment's gross profits. Our sales to retailers and distributors follow the end consumer spending patterns. If these adverse conditions persist or become more severe, this may continue to have an adverse effect on our operating results if the selling prices of our products are not able to offset these increased costs, or if increased selling prices reduce demand for our products. Changes to interest rates in response to inflationary factors could have adverse impacts on our cash flows and operating results depending on the severity and length of the changes. We cannot predict the impact of these adverse conditions on our liquidity and financial results.

Three months ended

See Note 16, Income Taxes, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, for information regarding income taxes.
The increase in the current period effective tax rate is primarily driven by the re-establishment of valuation allowance related to capital losses carried forward caused by the divestiture that occurred in the current quarter.
Our provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes. The effective tax rate for three and six months ended the September 30, 2024 is reflective of the federal statutory rate of 21% increased by the state taxes and reserves for uncertain tax positions and decreased by the deduction for research and development tax credit.
Financial Condition
Cash decreased to $36,925 as of September 30, 2024 from $60,271 at March 31, 2024. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, we used our cash generated from operating activities in addition to proceeds received from the sale of our RCBS and Fiber Energy businesses to pay down our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility and fund capital expenditures.
Net accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 increased slightly as compared to March 31, 2024, primarily resulting from increased sales to our customer base with longer payment terms. Net inventories increased compared to the prior year period within our Kinetic Group segment as a result of the timing of sales as compared to the production during the quarter. That increase was partially offset by the Revelyst segments continued focus on reducing inventory levels.
31
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In addition to our normal operating cash requirements, our principal future cash requirements are to fund capital expenditures, debt repayments, earn-outs related to previous acquisitions, execution of our GEAR Up transformation program and any strategic acquisitions. Our short-term cash requirements for operations are expected to consist mainly of capital expenditures to maintain production facilities and working capital requirements. Our debt service requirements over the next two years consist of required interest payments due under our 4.5% Notes and 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
Based on our current financial condition, management believes that our cash position, combined with anticipated generation of cash flows and the availability of funding, if needed, under our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility, access to debt and equity markets, as well as other potential sources of funding including additional bank financing, will be adequate to fund future growth, to service our currently anticipated short-term and long-term debt obligations, make capital expenditures, pay earn-outs related to previous acquisitions, and execute our GEAR Up transformation program over the next 12 months. As of September 30, 2024, based on the borrowing base less outstanding borrowings of $90,000, outstanding letters of credit of $13,956, less the minimum required borrowing base of $57,000 the amount available under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility was $336,050. Our total debt as a percentage of total capitalization (total debt and stockholders' equity) was 32% as of September 30, 2024. See Note 14, Long-term Debt, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, for a detailed discussion of our indebtedness.
There can be no assurance that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, will not be materially impacted by capital and credit market conditions, including any disruptions to these markets, as a result of natural disasters and public health crises or other significant catastrophic events, or our future financial condition and performance. Furthermore, because our 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility is secured in large part by receivables from our customers, a sustained deterioration in general economic conditions that adversely affects the creditworthiness of our customers could have a negative effect on our future available liquidity under the 2022 ABL Revolving Credit Facility.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We lease certain warehouses, distribution and office facilities, vehicles and office equipment under operating leases. As of September 30, 2024, current and long-term operating lease liabilities of $15,142 and $96,904, respectively, were recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For further discussion on minimum lease payment obligations, see Note 3, Leases, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more detail.
Except as discussed in Note 14, Long-term Debt, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and under Financial Condition above, there have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations and commitments or off-balance sheet arrangements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024.
Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of and are incidental to the conduct of our business. We do not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
Environmental Liabilities
Our operations and ownership or use of real property are subject to a number of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, as well as applicable foreign laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of hazardous materials, remediation of contaminated sites, and restoration of damage to the environment. We are obligated to conduct investigation and/or remediation activities at certain sites that we own or operate or formerly owned or operated.
Certain of our former subsidiaries have been identified as PRPs, along with other parties, in regulatory agency actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, those former subsidiaries may be required to pay a share of the costs of the investigation and clean-up of these sites. In that event, we would be obligated to indemnify those subsidiaries for such costs. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we do not currently expect that these potential liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
32
We could incur substantial additional costs, including cleanup costs, resource restoration, fines, and penalties or third-party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of violations or liabilities under environmental laws or non-compliance with environmental permits. While environmental laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows in the past, and we have environmental management programs in place to mitigate these risks, it is difficult to predict whether they will have a material impact in the future.
See Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
Dependence on Key Customers; Concentration of Credit
Walmart represented 11% and 11% of the total trade receivables balance as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. No customer contributed more than 10% of sales during six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 24, 2023. If a key customer fails to meet payment obligations, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since March 31, 2024.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2024, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business. We do not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to our business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
Certain of our former subsidiaries have been identified as PRPs, along with other parties, in regulatory agency actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, we may be required to pay a share of the costs of the investigation and clean-up of these sites. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of our ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we do not currently expect that these potential liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 describes the known material risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results, and future prospects. There are no material changes from the disclosure provided in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 with respect to the Risk Factors, other than the addition of the Risk Factor set forth below.
The consummation of the Revelyst Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, many of which are largely outside of the control of the parties to the Revelyst Merger Agreement, and, if these conditions are not satisfied or waived on a timely basis, the Revelyst Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Revelyst Transaction may not be completed. If any closing conditions are waived, such waiver could have an adverse effect on our stockholders and/or Revelyst and its stockholders.
The respective obligations of each party to effect the Revelyst Merger are subject to the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of certain conditions specified in the Revelyst Merger Agreement, including, among other things: (i) the approval of Vista Outdoor in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Revelyst; (ii) termination or expiry of any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the Revelyst Transaction under the HSR Act and approval under the Austrian Cartel Act 2005, the German Act Against Restraints on Competition 2023 and the United Kingdom National Security and Investment Act 2021; (iii) the absence of legal restraints prohibiting the Revelyst Transaction; (iv) consummation of the Sporting Products Sale in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the purchase price adjustment in connection with the Sporting Products Sale having become final and binding and the related purchase price adjustments, if any, having been paid; (v) the completion of the Reorganization (as defined in the Revelyst Merger Agreement); and (vi) other customary conditions specified in the Revelyst Merger Agreement. The failure to satisfy any or all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the Revelyst Transaction by a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the Revelyst Transaction could cause the parties to the Revelyst Merger Agreement to not realize some or all of the benefits that are expected to be achieved if the Revelyst Transaction is successfully completed within the expected timeframe. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing of the Revelyst Transaction will be satisfied or waived or that the Revelyst Transaction will be completed within the expected timeframe or at all.
Each party to the Revelyst Merger Agreement may, to the extent permitted by law, waive any condition that is a condition to the obligations of such party to effect the Revelyst Merger. Conditions that are required by law (such as (i) the approval of Vista Outdoor in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Revelyst, (ii) any waiting period (or any extension thereof) applicable to the Sporting Products Sale under the HSR Act having been terminated or having expired and approval under the Austrian Cartel Act 2005, the German Act Against Restraints on Competition 2023 and the United Kingdom National Security and Investment Act 2021 and (iii) the absence of legal restraints prohibiting the Revelyst Transaction) may not be waived. If the applicable party or parties were to waive a closing condition that may be waived, such waiver could have an adverse effect on Vista Outdoor stockholders and/or Revelyst.
Revelyst stockholders cannot be sure of the value of the Revelyst Merger Consideration they will receive at the effective time of the Revelyst Merger.
At the effective time of the Revelyst Merger (the “Revelyst Merger Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Revelyst Common Stock (other than any such shares of Revelyst Common Stock held by Revelyst, its subsidiaries or SVP Parent) will be converted into the right to receive the Revelyst Merger Consideration, which is an amount equal to (a) the sum of (x) $1,125,000,000, (y) the Revelyst Cash Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Revelyst Merger Agreement) and (z) the sum of the exercise prices of all Revelyst Options (as defined in the Revelyst Merger Agreement) other than out-of-the-money
34
Revelyst Options divided by (b) the sum of (x) the number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Revelyst Merger Effective Time (other than any such shares of Revelyst Common Stock held by Revelyst, its subsidiaries or SVP Parent as of such time) and (y) the number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock underlying each Revelyst equity award entitled to receive the Revelyst Merger Consideration at the Revelyst Merger Effective Time pursuant to the Revelyst Merger Agreement outstanding as of immediately prior to the Revelyst Merger Effective Time.
Management of Vista Outdoor estimates as of November 7, 2024, if the date on which the Revelyst Merger closes (the “Revelyst Merger Closing Date”) were to occur on December 31, 2024, the per share Revelyst Merger Consideration payable to holders of Revelyst Common Stock in accordance with the Revelyst Merger Agreement would be approximately $19.25. Management of Vista Outdoor currently expects the Revelyst Merger Closing Date to occur by January 2025. However, the respective obligations of each party to effect the Revelyst Merger are subject to the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by law, waiver) on or prior to the Revelyst Merger Closing Date of certain conditions specified in the Revelyst Merger Agreement, including the consummation of the Sporting Products Sale, receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions set forth in the Revelyst Merger Agreement, and management of Vista Outdoor cannot know the actual date when the Revelyst Merger Closing Date will occur. In addition, the Revelyst Merger Consideration cannot be determined until the consummation of the Revelyst Merger as it is subject to change based on (i) the Revelyst Cash Adjustment Amount, which provides for certain closing adjustments to the Revelyst Purchase Price (as defined in the Revelyst Merger Agreement), which adjustments relate to certain cash, debt, tax and other items (including unpaid transaction expenses) of Revelyst as of the Revelyst Merger Closing Date and (ii) the number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock issued and outstanding and the number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock underlying Revelyst equity awards entitled to receive the Revelyst Merger Consideration at the Revelyst Merger Effective Time outstanding, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Revelyst Merger Effective Time. Vista Outdoor management’s current estimate of the Revelyst Merger Consideration may be higher or lower than the actual Revelyst Merger Consideration due to the actual cash flows of Vista Outdoor prior to the closing of the Merger and of Revelyst prior to the Revelyst Merger Closing, actual costs, including transaction costs, incurred by Vista Outdoor prior to the closing of the Merger and by Revelyst prior to the Revelyst Merger Closing, the actual number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock and Revelyst equity awards outstanding, in each case as of as immediately prior to the Revelyst Merger Effective Time, or other factors. Revelyst’s transaction costs include, among other things, costs and expenses associated with obtaining regulatory approvals or waivers and third-party consents, the preparation of this proxy statement/prospectus and legal fees and expenses associated with the Sporting Products Sale or the Revelyst Merger. In addition, the precise number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock issued and outstanding and Revelyst equity awards outstanding, in each case as of immediately prior to the Revelyst Merger Effective Time, will not be known until immediately prior to the Revelyst Merger Effective Time. Therefore, until the Revelyst Merger Closing Date, Vista Outdoor stockholders will not know the precise amount of the Revelyst Merger Consideration they will be entitled to receive upon the consummation of the Revelyst Merger and the actual amount of the Revelyst Merger Consideration payable to holders of Revelyst Common Stock may be higher or lower than Vista Outdoor management estimates of such amount as of November 7, 2024.
Failure to complete the Revelyst Transaction could adversely affect Revelyst’s stock price and business, results of operations or financial condition.
There can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the Revelyst Transaction will be satisfied or waived or that the Revelyst Transaction will be completed. If the Revelyst Transaction is not completed within the expected timeframe or at all, Revelyst’s ongoing business could be adversely affected and Revelyst will be subject to a variety of risks and possible consequences associated with the failure to complete the Revelyst Transaction, including the following: (i) Revelyst will incur certain transaction costs, including legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees, regardless of whether the Revelyst Transaction closes; (ii) under the Revelyst Merger Agreement, Revelyst is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business during the pendency of the Revelyst Transaction, which may adversely affect Revelyst’s ability to execute certain of its business strategies; (iii) Revelyst may lose key employees during the period in which Revelyst and SVP Parent are pursuing the Revelyst Transaction, which may adversely affect Revelyst in the future if Revelyst is not able to hire and retain qualified personnel to replace departing employees; (iv) the Revelyst Transaction, whether or not it closes, will divert the attention of certain members of Revelyst management and other key employees from ongoing business activities, including the pursuit of other opportunities that could be beneficial to Revelyst and (v) that another transaction acceptable to Revelyst may not be offered and Revelyst’s business, prospects or results of operation may be adversely impacted as a result. If the Revelyst Transaction is not completed, these risks could materially affect Revelyst’s business, results of operations or financial condition and stock price, including to the extent that the then-current market price of the Revelyst Common Stock is positively affected by a market assumption that the Revelyst Transaction will be completed.
35
While the Revelyst Transaction is pending, Revelyst is subject to business uncertainties and certain contractual restrictions that could adversely affect Revelyst’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
In connection with the Revelyst Transaction, some of Revelyst’s customers, vendors, consumers or other third parties may react unfavorably, including by delaying or deferring decisions concerning their business relationships or transactions with Revelyst, which could adversely affect Revelyst’s revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Revelyst Transaction is completed. In addition, due to certain restrictions in the Revelyst Merger Agreement on the conduct of Revelyst’s business prior to the closing of the Revelyst Transaction, Revelyst may be unable to (without SVP’s prior written consent, unless another exception under the Revelyst Merger Agreement applies), during the pendency of the Revelyst Transaction, pursue certain strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial. This may cause Revelyst to forgo certain opportunities it might otherwise pursue. In addition, the pendency of the Revelyst Transaction may make it more difficult for Revelyst to effectively retain and incentivize key personnel and may cause distractions from Revelyst’s strategy and day-to-day operations for its current employees and management.
The termination fee in the Merger Agreement and Revelyst Merger Agreement and restrictions on solicitation contained in the Merger Agreement may discourage other companies from trying to acquire Vista Outdoor or its businesses.
The Merger Agreement prohibits us from soliciting, initiating or knowingly assisting, facilitating or encouraging any competing acquisition proposals, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights, including, but not limited to, our right to terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a Vista Outdoor Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, and provides that if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including by us to enter into a Vista Outdoor Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in respect of a Vista Outdoor Superior Proposal, Vista Outdoor will be required to pay CSG a termination fee of $47,750,000 in immediately available funds. The Revelyst Merger Agreement provides that if the Revelyst Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances where the Merger Agreement is also terminated and we are required to pay CSG a termination fee, we will be required to pay SVP Parent a termination fee of $28,125,000 in immediately available funds. The termination fees under the Merger Agreement and the Revelyst Merger Agreement and non-solicitation restrictions under the Merger Agreement could discourage other companies from trying to acquire us or our businesses even though those other companies might be willing to offer greater value to our stockholders than is offered in the Sporting Products Sale and the Revelyst Transaction.
Litigation against parties to the Revelyst Transaction, or the members of their respective boards, could prevent or delay the completion of the Revelyst Transaction.
It is a condition to the Revelyst Transaction that no court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority shall have issued a judgment, order, injunction, ruling, writ, decree or other directive or enacted a law that is in effect that prohibits, enjoins or makes illegal the consummation of the Revelyst Transaction. It is possible that lawsuits may be filed challenging the Revelyst Transaction. The outcome of any such lawsuits cannot be assured, including the amount of fees and costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection therewith. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Revelyst Transaction on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the consummation of the Revelyst Transaction in the expected timeframe or may prevent the Revelyst Transaction from being consummated at all. Whether or not any plaintiff’s claim is successful, this type of litigation can result in significant costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from the closing of the Revelyst Transaction and ongoing business activities, which could adversely affect our operations.
If the Revelyst Transaction is not consummated by the applicable deadline, either Revelyst or SVP Parent may terminate the Revelyst Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.
Either Revelyst or SVP Parent may terminate the Revelyst Merger Agreement if the Revelyst Transaction has not been consummated by the Revelyst Merger End Date (as defined in the Revelyst Merger Agreement). However, this termination right will not be available to Revelyst or SVP Parent (as applicable) if the failure to consummate the Revelyst Transaction on or prior to such date is primarily due to the breach by such party, or such party’s affiliates who are party to the Revelyst Merger Agreement, or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Revelyst Transaction. In the event the Revelyst Merger Agreement is terminated by either party due to the failure of the Revelyst Transaction to close by the Revelyst Merger End Date or for any other reason provided under the Revelyst Merger Agreement, we will have incurred significant costs and will have diverted significant management focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and ongoing business activities without realizing the anticipated benefits of the Revelyst Transaction. If the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement is not approved by our stockholders or any of the other conditions to the Sporting Products Sale are not satisfied or waived for any reason, the Revelyst Transaction cannot be completed, as the consummation of the Sporting Products Sale is a condition to the closing of the Revelyst Transaction.

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, either Revelyst or SVP Parent may terminate the Revelyst Merger Agreement.
Either Revelyst or SVP Parent may terminate the Revelyst Merger Agreement if the Merger Agreement has been validly terminated (due to the failure of the Sporting Products Sale to close by the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or for any other reason provided under the Merger Agreement). In the event the Revelyst Merger Agreement is terminated by either party, we will have incurred significant costs and will have diverted significant management focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and ongoing business activities without realizing the anticipated benefits of the Revelyst Transaction.
If the Sporting Products Sale is consummated but the Revelyst Transaction is not consummated, Revelyst will be an independent, publicly traded company.
Following the closing of the Sporting Products Sale and prior to the closing of the Revelyst Transaction, Revelyst will be an independent, publicly traded company holding the Revelyst business. Revelyst intends to file an application to list the Revelyst Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GEAR”, with Revelyst Common Stock to commence trading on the NYSE following the closing of the Transaction. Following the closing of the Revelyst Transaction, Revelyst will be a wholly owned subsidiary of SVP Parent, and SVP intends to delist the Revelyst Common Stock from the NYSE. However, if the Sporting Products Sale is consummated but the Revelyst Transaction is not consummated, Revelyst will continue to be an independent, publicly traded company and will be subject to a variety of risks related to being an independent, publicly traded company.
