Current report
From time to time, we evaluate our portfolio of businesses and may pursue divestitures of non‑core or underperforming operations as part of our strategy to focus on higher‑growth, higher‑margin areas. Divestitures may result in transitional costs, potential loss of revenue, and other financial impacts during and after the separation, including possible gains or losses on disposal depending on the structure and timing of the transaction. These transactions can also create operational risks, including disruption to employees and customers and reliance on transition services arrangements for a period of time. We continue to assess opportunities to streamline our portfolio and allocate capital and management attention to areas that best support our strategic objectives.

Our goodwill impairment expense reflects non-cash charges recognized when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. We perform a goodwill impairment assessment at least annually but may perform interim assessments in the event of a triggering event that may indicate the fair value of a reporting unit decreased below its carrying value. During the year ended January 2, 2026, we recorded $557.3 million goodwill impairment charges as a result of our assessments. No goodwill impairments were identified in the years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023.
Current report
Our intangible and long-lived asset impairment expense includes non-cash charges recognized when the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets is not recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, we assess the asset’s recoverability and, if necessary, write it down to its estimated fair value. In the year ended January 2, 2026, we recorded total intangible and long-lived asset impairments of $13.5 million, inclusive of the $8.0 million intangible asset impairments described above. No impairments of long-lived assets were identified in the years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023.

Net sales
Current report
Net sales for the year ended January 2, 2026 increased approximately $73.4 million, or 5.3%, compared to the year ended January 3, 2025. The increase in net sales is primarily due to increased demand for aftermarket applications, improved performance in our upfitting product lines, and the market share gain in powersports, which offset lower industry demand in the automotive OE product lines. Although net sales increased, high interest rates impacting industry and consumer demands, high vehicle costs, and macro-economic conditions remain headwinds.

Powered Vehicles Group net sales increased by approximately $26.7 million, or 5.8%, due to higher sales in powersports and aftermarket applications, which offset lower industry demand in automotive OE product lines.
Current report
Aftermarket Applications Group net sales increased by approximately $48.6 million, or 11.5%, driven by increased demand for aftermarket products and higher upfitting sales; however, high interest rates, high vehicle costs, and macro-economic conditions impacting dealers and consumers continue to pose challenges.
Current report
Aftermarket Applications Group adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $4.1 million, or 7.9%, mainly due to higher gross profit.
Current report
Specialty Sports Group net sales decreased by approximately $1.9 million, or 0.4%, primarily due to lower diamond sports product sales partially offset by higher bike sales.
Current report
In the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $60.9 million. The change in our operating assets and liabilities is a result of an increase in prepaids and other current assets of $27.1 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $23.5 million, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $7.3 million, and a decrease in income taxes payable of $1.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in inventory of $18.0 million, and an increase in accounts payable of $1.2 million. The increase in prepaids and other current assets is primarily due to an increase in prepaid chassis deposits to meet next year upfitting production needs. The increase in our accounts receivable reflects higher sales and the timing of customer collections. The decrease in our accounts payable is driven by timing of inventory purchases and vendor payments. The decrease in income taxes payable is mainly due to lower pre-tax income and tax payments. The decrease in inventory is driven by strong execution of continuous improvement efforts to optimize inventory levels across the organization, particularly within PVG, which offset some of the impact from higher tariffs.
Current report
In the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, cash used in investing activities consisted of $34.0 million in property and equipment additions.
Current report
In the fiscal year ended January 2, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was $40.0 million, which primarily consisted of $567.4 million in repayments on our Incremental Term Loans (as defined below), $282.0 million in payments on our revolver, $2.9 million in deferred fees for debt modifications, and payments of $1.3 million to repurchase shares of our common stock to cover withholding taxes from our stock-based compensation program, partially offset by $534.6 million proceeds from the Term Loan and $279.0 million proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) issued under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below), which were used to repay all outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and for general corporate purposes.

Credit Agreement
Current report
Amended Credit Agreement
Current report
On October 24, 2025, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Second Amendment to Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and L/C issuer (the “Agent”), and a group of lenders party thereto. The Fifth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 5, 2022 (as amended prior to the Fifth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the Fifth Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), and the Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of April 5, 2022, as amended prior to the Fifth Amendment, which secures the obligations under the Credit Agreement in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the lenders and other secured parties. Terms not otherwise defined below will have the meaning as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement.
Current report
The Fifth Amendment, among other things, amends the Credit Agreement to replace the existing loans provided under the Credit Agreement with (i) a term loan in the aggregate outstanding amount of $537.5 million (the “Term Loan”), which will be repaid by the Company in quarterly installments in the amount of $6.7 million, (ii) revolving loans in an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million, with sub-facilities for swing line loans in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and (iii) an incremental loan facility, subject to additional terms set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, in an aggregate amount of up to $175.0 million plus an unlimited amount so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such incremental loans, on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is less than 3.25. To the extent not previously paid, all then-outstanding amounts under the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable on October 24, 2030.
Current report
In connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company borrowed $710.0 million under the Amended Credit Agreement consisting of the $537.5 million Term Loan and $172.5 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to repay all outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement prior to the Fifth Amendment and for general corporate purposes.

Recent Developments
Current report
Global Trade Actions and Tariffs -New and expanded tariffs announced under the current administration and triggered retaliatory actions by certain affected countries, and other foreign governments have introduced additional costs and uncertainty into our supply chain, which impact our cost structure and working capital needs in the near term. We are evaluating the potential effect on our supply chain and sourcing strategies, and while we expect some volatility in cash flows as we adjust, we believe our existing liquidity and access to the Amended Credit Agreement provide sufficient flexibility to manage these developments. Please read “U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations” within Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annually Report on Form 10-K.
Current report
One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) - On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted in the U.S. This legislation introduces several significant tax provisions, including the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, changes to the international tax framework, and the reinstatement of favorable tax treatment for select business provisions. The OBBBA includes multiple effective dates, with certain provisions taking effect in 2025 and others phased in through 2027. We reviewed the enacted legislation and determined that these provisions do not affect the measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of January 2, 2026. We will continue to assess the impact on the effective tax rate for future periods.
Current report
For the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on a weighting of income and market approaches. The income approach employs a discounted cash flow model, projecting revenue and cash flows over a multi-year period. These projections are based on management’s estimates, historical performance trends, and industry outlooks. These cash flows, along with a terminal value, are discounted to their present value using a weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) that reflects a market rate appropriate for each reporting unit. The market approach employs multiples for public companies that reasonably compare to the reporting units. Sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the impact of changes in key assumptions. As a reasonableness check, the impairment assessment also includes a comparison of the aggregate estimated fair value of the reporting units to the Company’s total market capitalization.
Current report
In early fiscal year 2025, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $262.1 million within operating expenses, which impacted all reporting units. The impairment resulted from a triggering event related to adverse changes in U.S. tariff policies, new and expanded tariffs enacted by the current presidential administration, and resulting sustained decline in our stock price. The impairment charge reflects the amount by which the carrying values of the reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values. In the second quarter, the Company conducted a qualitative assessment and concluded that no additional impairment existed as of July 4, 2025. The annual impairment assessment was performed in the third quarter, and the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units were less than the carrying values. In the fourth quarter, the Company conducted another quantitative impairment assessment due to a further sustained decrease in our stock price and recorded another non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $295.2 million within operating expenses.
Current report
The Company’s goodwill impairment assessment is subject to significant estimates and assumptions. Adverse changes in key assumptions, including projected revenue growth rates, the terminal growth rate, or the WACC could result in additional goodwill impairment charges. As of January 2, 2026, SSG was the only reporting unit with a remaining goodwill balance following the recorded goodwill impairment charges. Based on the most recent quantitative assessment, and for purposes of this sensitivity analysis assuming a 100% weighting to the income approach, a 1.5% increase in the WACC would result in a full future impairment of SSG’s remaining goodwill.
Current report
Finite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets
Current report
The Company reviews other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is impaired or the estimated useful lives are no longer appropriate. If indicators of impairment exist and the undiscounted projected cash flows associated with such assets are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded to write the assets down to their estimated fair values. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows.
Current report
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, due to lower expected cash flows, the Company performed a recoverability test and related quantitative impairment assessment for its finite‑lived intangible assets and other long‑lived assets. As a result, the Company recorded $13.5 of intangible and long-lived asset impairment in operating expenses.

Consolidated net sales
Previous report
Total net sales for the year ended January 3, 2025 decreased approximately $70.3 million, or 4.8%, compared to the year ended December 29, 2023. The decrease in net sales is primarily due to product mix, chassis availability, lower industry and end consumer demand because of higher interest rates and higher inventory levels at OEMs and dealerships. The decrease was partially offset by a full-year net sales of $192.4 from Marucci, which was acquired in November 2023, compared to net sales of $16.8 million included in prior year.

Powered Vehicles Group net sales decreased by approximately $62.5 million, or 11.9%, due to lower industry demand in power sports and automotive because of higher interest rates impacting dealers and consumers, and higher inventory levels at dealerships.
Previous report
Aftermarket Applications Group net sales decreased by approximately $129.7 million, or 23.5%, driven by lower upfitting sales due to product mix, chassis availability, higher interest rates impacting dealers and consumers, and higher inventory level at dealerships.
Previous report
Specialty Sports Group net sales increased by approximately $121.9 million, or 31.3%, primarily due to the inclusion of $192.4 million in net sales from Marucci, partially offset by a reduction in bike sales of $53.7 million because of the ongoing bike channel inventory recalibration and, to a lesser extent, lower end consumer demand.
Previous report
Specialty Sports Group adjusted EBITDA remained nearly unchanged primarily due to product mix within the segment, offset by the inclusion of Marucci.

Unallocated corporate expenses
Previous report
Unallocated corporate expenses consist of corporate overhead expenses that are not directly attributable to one of our business segments and include unallocated occupancy costs for our corporate headquarters, acquisition costs, other benefit and compensation programs, including performance-based compensation, and administrative expenses such as accounting, finance, legal, human resources, and information technology expenses.
Previous report
Unallocated corporate expenses decreased by $6.3 million, or 10.0%, driven by cost containment measures.
Previous report
In the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $187.1 million. Cash invested in operating assets and liabilities is primarily the result of increases in inventory of $87.4 million and accounts receivable of $64.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in prepaids and other current assets of $18.1 million, and increases in accounts payable of $40.5 million, accrued expenses of $11.7 million and income taxes payable of $8.7 million. The increase in inventory is due to several factors, including natural growth to meet anticipated demand, receipt of long lead time items that had been delayed, and higher levels of safety stock to mitigate supply chain uncertainty. The increases in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reflect normal business growth, as well as the timing of customer collections and vendor payments. The decrease in prepaids and other current assets is primarily due to a lower supply of chassis as we worked through the safety stock that we had secured at the end of 2021.
Previous report
In the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $44.7 million, which primarily consisted of $43.7 million in property and equipment additions, $3.5 million in cash consideration for our purchase of intellectual property assets, and $0.7 million in cash consideration to finalize our acquisition of Shock Therapy, partially offset by $3.2 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Previous report
In the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $179.1 million, which primarily consisted of $404.3 million in payments on our 2022 Credit Facility, $382.5 million in payments on our term debt, $4.3 million to repurchase shares of our common stock, net of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, as part of our stock-based compensation program and $2.7 million in installment payments related to the purchase of the Tuscany non-controlling interest (defined at Note 12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities). These changes were partially offset by net proceeds from our 2022 Credit Facility of $602.4 million, which was used to refinance our Prior Credit Facility, and proceeds from the termination of our 2021 Swap Agreement (defined at Note 11. Derivatives and Hedging) of $12.3 million.
