Part IV. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fox Factory Holding Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 3, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 3, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 27, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Net realizable value of inventory

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, for estimated excess, obsolete or impaired balances. Management monitors inventory quantities on hand and on order and records write-downs for estimated excess or obsolescence based on estimated demand for products, obsolescence of technology, product life cycles, and when pricing trends or forecasts indicate that the carrying value of inventory exceeds estimated selling price. We identified the net realizable value of inventory for certain product categories as a critical audit matter.

The principal consideration for our determination that the net realizable value of inventory represents a critical audit matter is that the assessment of the net realizable value of inventory is complex and includes an estimate of forecasted demand. The demand estimate is subjective and requires the Company to consider significant assumptions such as economic conditions, technology changes, and new product introductions, which are subject to significant uncertainty and therefore require significant auditor judgement.

Our audit procedures related to the net realizable value of inventory included the following, among others:

We obtained management’s analysis for estimated excess or obsolete inventory. We evaluated the appropriateness of management’s approach and tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data.

We tested selected inventory items by making inquiries of management and evaluating the appropriateness of judgments and assumptions. We also reviewed industry reports and inquired with management and various staff members outside of the finance function to understand macroeconomic, technology, and product trends.

We performed a retrospective review by comparing previous demand forecasts to actual usage during the year for a sample of items.

We compared estimated demand for selected inventory items to actual customer sales orders and forecasted demand information as provided by the sales and operations team in order to test the accuracy of demand information included in the calculation.

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to the forecasted demand for the Company’s products as well as management’s review of the net realizable value of inventory.

Realizability of foreign tax credits

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We identified the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credits as a critical audit matter.

The principal considerations for our determination that the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credits represents a critical audit matter are the significance of the Company’s foreign tax credits and the use of forecasted profitability by jurisdiction and source. The forecasts, including future sales and expenses by jurisdiction, are subject to a high level of estimation uncertainty and subjectivity. Additionally, realizability depends on continued implementation of a tax planning strategy. As a result, significant auditor judgment is necessary to evaluate management’s judgments and assumptions.

Our audit procedures related to the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credtis included the following, among others:

We considered the applicability of the Company’s international transfer pricing arrangements as it relates to the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits.

We tested the accuracy of the underlying data used in the forecasts by agreeing the baseline 2024 results for selected jurisdictions to general ledger balances.

We evaluated the appropriateness of the assumptions supporting the future revenue growth rate by jurisdiction.

We evaluated management’s assumptions with respect to anticipated relief from withholding on intercompany charges paid by selected jurisdictions for consistency and credibility.

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to the generation and review of the forecasts and assumptions that underpin the assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets relating to the Company’s foreign tax credits.

Opinion on internal control over financial reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Fox Factory Holding Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 3, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended January 3, 2025, and our report dated February 27, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“Management’s Report”). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
