Starting in 2023, the Company began incurring expenses to facilitate long-term sustainable growth through cost reduction actions, consisting of employee reductions, facility rationalization and contract termination costs. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $1,948,000 and $3,223,000, respectively, of restructuring charges related to these actions. The Company has incurred $5,171,000 of cumulative restructuring charges since the commencement of our restructuring actions in 2023. The Company accrues for restructuring costs when they are probable and reasonably estimable. These costs include severance costs, exit costs, and other restructuring costs and are included in Restructuring charges in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Severance costs primarily consist of severance benefits through payroll continuation, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities, while exit costs primarily consist of lease exit and contract termination costs. Other costs consist primarily of costs related to the discontinuance of certain product lines and are distinguishable and directly attributable to the Company’s restructuring initiative and not a result of external market factors associated with the ongoing business. We estimate that we will incur restructuring costs related to employee-related costs and facility exit costs during the year 2025; however, the Company cannot estimate the total amount expected to be incurred as cost reduction actions continue to be evaluated. The Company anticipates completing these restructuring activities in 2025.

Management’s discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, income taxes and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the projected financial information related to each individual asset, particularly forecasted sales growth rates, cash flows, market-based royalty rates and estimated discount rates. Product technology and trademarks are valued using the relief-from-royalty method, and customer relationships are valued using the multi-period excess earnings model. The relief-from-royalty method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The multi-period excess earnings method supposes that the owner of the intangible asset is able to achieve a return in excess

The relief-from-royalty method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The multi-period excess earnings method supposes that the owner of the intangible asset is able to achieve a return in excess of that received without the intangible asset through enhanced revenues or cost savings. Our discounted cash flow estimates use discount rates that correspond to a weighted-average cost of capital consistent with a market-participant view. The discount rates are consistent with those used for investment decisions and take into account our operating plans and strategies. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. If we do not achieve the results reflected in the assumptions and estimates, our goodwill impairment evaluations could be adversely affected, and we may impair a portion or all of our intangible assets, which would adversely affect our operating results in the period of impairment.

Previous wording

the asset is deemed to be impaired and the impairment charge is estimated as the difference. The Company calculates the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. Internally forecasted revenues, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are multiplied by a royalty rate to arrive at the estimated net after tax cost savings. The royalty rate used in the analysis is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for comparable intangible assets. The net after tax cost savings are discounted using the same weighted-average cost of capital discount rate developed for purposes of the Company’s quantitative goodwill impairment test. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in determining the revenue associated with each indefinite-lived intangible asset and the royalty rate. If we do not achieve the results reflected in the market assumptions and forecasted estimates, our indefinite-lived intangibles impairment evaluations could be adversely affected, and we may impair a portion or all of their carrying values, which would adversely affect our operating results in the period of impairment.

Current wording

We also test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, as of December 31 st of each year. Management may perform an interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell or dispose of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived asset is higher than its fair value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and the impairment charge is estimated as the difference. The Company calculates the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method.

Gross margin was 35.0% during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a gross margin of 34.1% during the year ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin during the year ended December 31, 2024, increased compared to the prior year due to favorable channel mix as a result of lower OEM sales at the Adventure segment and favorable product mix due to the simplification and SKU rationalization strategy at the Outdoor segment. These increases were partially offset by an increase in inventory reserve expenses at the Adventure segment.

Current wording

Gross profit decreased $9,643, or 10.4%, to $82,976 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to gross profit of $92,619 during the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross margin was 33.1% during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a gross margin of 35.0% during the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross margin during the year ended December 31, 2025, decreased compared to the prior year as a result of lower volumes at the Outdoor and Adventure segments, impacts due to tariffs imposed by the United States for both segments, and an unfavorable product mix and increases of inventory reserve expenses at the Adventure segment. Specifically, the unfavorable product mix at Adventure was primarily driven by promotional sales efforts in North America and higher RockyMounts revenue. This combined with lower wholesale volume at both Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX in Australia drove the decline in gross margin compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, losses on foreign currency cash flow hedges were $1,585 during the year ended December 31, 2025, which negatively impacted gross margin. These were partially offset by a favorable product mix at the Outdoor segment due to our simplification initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expenses at the Outdoor segment decreased by $7,176 primarily as a result of lower retail expenses due to store closures and other expense reduction initiatives to manage costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses at the Adventure segment increased by $3,806 primarily as a result of investments in global marketing, e-commerce initiatives, and organizational leadership to accelerate growth, as well as the full year impact of the TRED Outdoors acquisition. These increases at the Adventure segment were partially offset by lower intangible amortization expense.

Current wording

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $6,775, or 6.1%, to $105,173 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $111,948 during the year ended December 31, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses at the Outdoor segment decreased by $3,051 primarily as a result of lower digital marketing and employee-related costs, lower costs from PIEPS due to the sale in July 2025, as well as lower retail expenses due to store closures and other expense reduction initiatives to manage costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses at the Adventure segment decreased by $2,155 primarily as a result of lower marketing, amortization, and employee-related costs, combined with other expense reduction initiatives, partially offset by a write-off of internally developed software during the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, Corporate costs decreased $1,569 due to lower outside service and employee-related costs.
