Clarus Corp

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of Clarus Corporation and subsidiaries (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “Clarus,” “we,” “our” or “us”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Nature of Business

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, we are a global leader in the design and development of best-in-class equipment and lifestyle products for outdoor enthusiasts. Driven by our rich history of engineering and innovation, our objective is to provide safe, simple, effective and beautiful products so that our customers can maximize their outdoor pursuits and adventures. Each of our brands has a long history of continuous product innovation for core and everyday users alike. The Company’s products are principally sold globally under the Black Diamond®, Rhino-Rack®, MAXTRAX®, and TRED Outdoors® brand names through outdoor specialty and online retailers, our own websites, distributors and original equipment manufacturers.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates relate to the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations, provision for excess or obsolete inventory, allowance for credit losses, and valuation of contingent consideration liabilities, deferred tax assets, long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, projected future cash flows, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, legal costs associated with specific legal matters which were recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses are now presented in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. See Note 16 for discussion regarding legal matters.

Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clarus Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only. The consolidated statements of cash flows are inclusive of continuing and discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain prior period financial information, related to discontinued operations, have been reclassified and separately presented in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

The accounts of the Company’s international subsidiaries’ financial statements which have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet dates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for the periods for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other comprehensive (loss) income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not hold any amounts that were considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company records its trade receivables at sales value. The trade receivables do not bear interest. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for credit losses based on a combination of factors. A non-specific allowance for estimated credit losses is recorded based on historical experience of collectability. In addition, specific allowances are established for customer accounts as known collection problems occur due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues. The amounts of these specific allowances are estimated by management based on the customer’s financial position, the age of the customer’s receivables and the reasons for any disputes. The allowance for credit losses is reduced by subsequent collections of the specific allowances or by any write-off of customer accounts that are deemed uncollectible. The allowance for credit losses was $1,271 and $1,412 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There wereno significant write-offs during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method “FIFO”) or net realizable value. Elements of cost in the Company’s manufactured inventories generally include raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and freight in. The Company reviews its inventories for excess, close-out, or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory values.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The principal estimated useful lives are: buildings,30 years; building improvements,20 years; machinery and equipment,3-10 years; computer hardware and software,3-5 years; furniture and fixtures,5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining life of the lease. Major replacements, which extend the useful lives of equipment, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life. Normal maintenance and repair items are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Leases

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.

Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred and include certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges such as utilities, insurance and property taxes included in the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and the expense for these short-term leases and for leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Non-lease components are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liability present value computations. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of identifiable net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually as of December 31 st of each year or more frequently if triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, such as a significant adverse change in business climate. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed. We estimate the reporting unit’s fair value using a combination of the income approach based upon projected discounted cash flows of the reporting unit and the market approach based upon the market multiple of comparable publicly traded companies. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess carrying amount over the fair value computation. Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment tests completed as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment in our Adventure reporting unit of $36,264 during the year ended December 31, 2024, and $52,071 during the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. No impairment of goodwill was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets represent other intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired. The Company’s other intangible assets, such as certain customer relationships, product technologies, tradenames, trademarks and core technologies with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of certain tradenames and trademarks that provide Black Diamond Equipment, PIEPS, Rhino-Rack, and MAXTRAX with the exclusive and perpetual rights to manufacture and sell their respective products. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized; however, they are tested for impairment annually as of December 31 st of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances exist that may indicate impairment. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, through this qualitative assessment, the conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s book value to its estimated fair value. The fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined through an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset. Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment tests completed as of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets in our Adventure reporting unit, specifically the Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX trademarks, of $3,480 and $5,065, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment tests completed as of December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets in our Adventure reporting unit, specifically the Rhino-Rack trademark, of $40,240 during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge currency rate movements on foreign currency denominated sales. The Company enters into forward contracts, option contracts and non-deliverable forwards to manage the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on a portion of its forecasted foreign currency exposure. These derivatives are carried at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in prepaid and other current assets, other long-term assets, accrued liabilities, and other long-term liabilities. Changes in fair value of the derivatives not designated as hedge instruments are included in Other, net in the determination of net income. For derivative contracts designated as hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings.

For all hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged transactions. The Company uses operating budgets and cash flow forecasts to estimate future foreign currency cash flow exposures and to determine the level and timing of derivative transactions intended to mitigate such exposures in accordance with its risk management policies. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is de-designated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge. The Company does not enter into material derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging. The Company does not speculate using derivative instruments.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records compensation expense for all share-based awards granted based on the fair value of the award at the time of the grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable. Stock-based compensation costs for stock awards and restricted stock awards is measured based on the closing market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. For restricted stock awards subject to market conditions, the fair value of each restricted stock award has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Monte-Carlo pricing model. The Company recognizes the cost of the share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award and recognizes forfeitures in the period they occur. Stock options granted have contractual terms of up toten years. Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock awards, the Company issues shares from new shares authorized and reserved for issuance.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a contract exists with a customer that specifies the goods and services to be provided at an agreed upon sales price and when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the goods or service to the customer. The performance obligation is considered complete when control transfers, which is determined when products are shipped or delivered to the customer depending on the terms of the contract. Sales are made on normal and customary short-term credit terms or upon delivery of point-of-sale transactions.

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

The Company’s contract terms or historical business practices can give rise to variable consideration such as prompt payment discounts. We estimate the expected prompt payment discounts based on an analysis of historical experience and record cash discounts as a reduction to revenue.

At the time of revenue recognition, we also provide for estimated sales returns and miscellaneous claims from customers as reductions to revenues. The estimates are based on historical rates of product returns and claims. The Company accrues for such estimated returns and claims with an estimated accrual and associated reduction of revenue. Additionally, the Company records inventory that it expects to be returned as part of inventories, with a corresponding reduction of cost of goods sold.

Sales commissions are expensed as incurred. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are reported on the net basis and are excluded from sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

The expenses that are included in cost of goods sold include all direct product costs and costs related to shipping, certain warehousing or handling, duties and importation fees. Product warranty costs and specific provisions for excess, close-out, or slow-moving inventory are also included in cost of goods sold. Certain warehousing or handling costs which are not associated with the manufacturing of goods for sale are excluded from cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense includes personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, product development, selling, advertising, visual merchandise, depreciation and amortization, and other general operating expenses. Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Total advertising expense for continuing operations were $6,046, $8,385, and $7,789 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Product Warranty

Some of the Company’s products carry warranty provisions for defects in quality and workmanship. Warranty repairs and replacements are recorded in cost of goods sold and a warranty liability is established at the time of sale to cover estimated costs based on the Company’s history of warranty repairs and replacements. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company experienced warranty claims on its products related to continuing operations of $927, $1,007, and $1,221, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Total research and development costs for continuing operations were $12,171, $12,740, and $13,029 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs consists of expenses related to the Company’s various acquisition efforts, including those associated with acquiring Rhino-Rack, MAXTRAX, TRED, and RockyMounts.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Income taxes are based on amounts of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and on expected future tax consequences of events that are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than they are recognized in tax returns. As a result of timing of recognition and measurement differences between financial accounting standards and income tax laws, temporary differences arise between amounts of pre-tax financial statement income and taxable income and between reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets reflect estimated future tax effects attributable to these temporary differences and to net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards, based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for years in which the differences are expected to be settled or realized. The Company has netted these deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities by jurisdiction. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income in specific jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are used to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts considered more likely than not to be realized. U.S. deferred income taxes are not provided on undistributed income of foreign subsidiaries where such earnings are considered to be permanently invested. Unremitted taxes on undistributed foreign earnings are not material for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

The Company releases residual tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive loss through continuing operations as the underlying asset matures or expires.

The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense (benefit). Unrecognized tax benefits that reduce a net operating loss, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, are presented as a reduction to deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense (benefit).

Concentration of Credit Risk and Sales

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, and aggregate unrealized gains (losses) on derivative contracts. Risks associated with cash within the United States are mitigated by banking with federally insured, creditworthy institutions; however, there are balances with these institutions that are greater than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses as considered necessary by management.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2022, Recreational Equipment, Inc. (“REI”) accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s sales from continuing operations. These sales are included in the Outdoor segment. No other single customer contributed more than 10% of the Company’s sales from continuing operations during these periods. During the year ended December 31, 2023, no single customer contributed more than 10% of the Company’s sales from continuing operations. As of December 31, 2024, Roof Racks Galore accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, INEOS Automotive accounted for approximately 13% of the Company’s accounts receivable. No other single customer contributed more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable during these periods.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature and liquidity of these financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models. The Company estimates that, due to the variable interest rates reflecting current market rates, the fair value of its debt obligations approximate the carrying value at December 31, 2024.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities

Contingent consideration liabilities are required to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired company, such as sales-based milestones and estimated probabilities of achievement. Based on updated estimates and projections, the contingent consideration liabilities are adjusted at each reporting date to their estimated fair value. Changes in fair value subsequent to the acquisition date are reported in contingent consideration (benefit) expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Variations in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities may result from changes in discount periods or rates, changes in the timing and amount of sales estimates, and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving sales milestones.

Legal Costs and Regulatory Matter Expenses

Legal expenses related to the outstanding regulatory matter with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and/or the ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as legal expenses related to bringing the Company’s cases against HAP Trading and Caption Management to trial, are included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. All other legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding specific legal matters.

Segment Information

We operate our business structure withintwo segments. These segments are defined based on the internal financial reporting used by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Corporate costs consist of corporate office expenses including compensation, benefits, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction costs, and other administrative costs, as well as charges related to certain legal and regulatory matters, that are managed at a corporate level and are not included within segment results when evaluating performance or allocating resources.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements adopted during 2024

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU was adopted on a retrospective basis. This ASU requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. See Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding segment reporting.

Accounting Pronouncements issued and not yet adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose in its rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance will require all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The guidance makes several other changes to the disclosure requirements. All entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements, however it does not anticipate a material change to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires a public entity to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses on an annual and interim basis. The guidance will require all entities to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. The guidance also requires disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. All entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the enhanced disclosure requirements, however it does not anticipate a material change to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

RockyMounts

On December 5, 2024, Clarus and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rhino-Rack USA LLC, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “RockyMounts Purchase Agreement”) with RockyMounts, Inc. (the “Seller”) and Robert C. Noyes, pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) acquire certain assets and liabilities of the Seller constituting the RockyMounts business, including equipment, inventory, intellectual property (including exclusive use of the brand name ROCKYMOUNTS and the tradename ROCKY MOUNTS INC.), software, domain names and social media accounts, and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the RockyMounts assets, including all liabilities and obligations of the Seller under the Assigned Contracts (as defined in the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement), arising or to be performed after the closing of the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, the purchase price to be paid for the RockyMounts assets is up to$8,000, which includes (i)$4,000 paid in cash at closing, subject to adjustment as set forth in the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, (ii) the issuance of a promissory note by Rhino-Rack USA LLC in favor of the Seller in the original principal amount of$2,000, payable on theone-year anniversary of the closing of the RockyMounts Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the payment of additional contingent consideration of up to$2,000 in cash upon the satisfaction of certain net sales targets (the “RockyMounts Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the RockyMounts Contingent Consideration to be$609 and recorded this liability within accrued liabilities. See Note 11 for discussion regarding the valuation of the RockyMounts Contingent Consideration as of December 31, 2024.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Acquisition-related costs for the RockyMounts Acquisition, which were included in transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2024, were$333.

TRED

On September 13, 2023, Clarus entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “TRED Purchase Agreement”) to acquire TRED Outdoors Pty Ltd. (“TRED”), which subsequently closed on October 9, 2023. All United States dollar amounts contained herein are based on the exchange rates in effect for Australian dollars ($AUD) and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the time of closing of the acquisition of TRED (the “TRED Acquisition”).

The Company acquired TRED for an aggregate purchase price of $AUD 10,741 (approximately $6,849), subject to a post-closing adjustment, comprised of $AUD 8,875 (approximately $5,659) cash,179 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,069, and additional consideration described below. The TRED Purchase Agreement provides for the payment of additional contingent consideration of up to $AUD 1,000 (approximately $638) in cash upon the satisfaction of certain net sales targets (the “TRED Contingent Consideration”). The Company estimated the initial fair value of the TRED Contingent Consideration to be $AUD 189 (approximately $121) and recorded this liability within accrued liabilities. See Note 11 for discussion regarding the valuation of the TRED Contingent Consideration as of December 31, 2024.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Acquisition-related costs for the TRED Acquisition, which were included in transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $62 and $456, respectively.

The Company believes the acquisitions of RockyMounts and TRED will provide the Company with a greater combined global revenue base, increased gross margins, profitability and free cash flows, and access to increased liquidity to further acquire and grow businesses.

The following table is a reconciliation to the fair value of the purchase consideration and how the purchase consideration is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed which have been estimated at their fair values. The fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation for RockyMounts are based on the Company’s best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary. The fair value measurements of identifiable assets and liabilities, and the resulting goodwill related to the RockyMounts Acquisition are subject to change and the final purchase price allocations could be different from the amounts presented below. We expect to finalize the valuations as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the date of the acquisition. The fair value measurements for the acquisition of TRED have been completed. The excess of purchase consideration over the assets acquired and

liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill for RockyMounts and TRED is included in the Adventure segment. The goodwill consists largely of the growth and profitability expected from these acquisitions.

The estimated fair value of inventory was recorded at expected sales price less cost to sell plus a reasonable profit margin for selling efforts.

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company acquired exclusive rights to RockyMounts’ and TRED’s trademarks, customer relationships, product technologies, and tradenames. The amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset, other than goodwill acquired, and the related average useful lives are as follows:

The full amount of goodwill of $2,741 at RockyMounts is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The full amount of goodwill of $2,832 at TRED is expected to be non-deductible for tax purposes. No pre-existing relationships existed between the Company, RockyMounts, and TRED or their sellers prior to the acquisition. RockyMounts and TRED revenue and operating income are included in the Adventure segment. Total revenue and net income of RockyMounts from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2024, were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Total revenue and net income of TRED from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2023, were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 29, 2024, the Company and Everest/Sapphire Acquisition, LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the sale to Bullseye Acquisitions, LLC, an affiliate of JDH Capital Company, of all of the equity associated with the Company’s Precision Sport segment, which is comprised of the Company’s subsidiaries Sierra and Barnes, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of December 29, 2023, by and among, Bullseye Acquisitions, LLC, Everest/Sapphire Acquisition, LLC and the Company (the “Precision Sport Purchase Agreement”).

The Company received $175,674 in cash under the terms of the Precision Sport Purchase Agreement, which included a preliminary working capital adjustment. As of December 31, 2024, the working capital adjustment had been finalized, with no changes from the preliminary working capital adjustment. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on such sale of $40,585. The activities of the Precision Sport segment have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the Precision Sport segment were classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023. The asset and liability balances as of December 31, 2023, were classified as current as we anticipated the sale of these assets and liabilities within a one year period. The carrying amounts were as follows:

Summarized results of discontinued operations for the Precision Sport segment are as follows:

In connection with the sale of the Precision Sport segment, all outstanding debt that was required to be repaid with the proceeds received from the sale pursuant to the terms of the Company’s credit facility and all associated interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

NOTE 6. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by segment:

Due to challenging market conditions and other factors affecting the demand for our Adventure reporting unit products, we experienced significant declining revenue and profitability in our Adventure reporting unit and a decline in stock price during the year ended December 31, 2024. Revenues continued to decline unexpectedly during the three months ended December 31, 2024, due to a lack of product demand in what is typically the highest selling season for the product in Australia. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we reduced our sales forecasts for 2025 and beyond in our Adventure reporting unit. As part of our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2024, we performed a quantitative assessment using income-based and market-based approaches. As a result of this assessment, the carrying value of our Adventure reporting unit exceeded the related estimated fair value, thus an impairment of goodwill of $36,264 was recorded.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in indefinite-lived intangible assets:

As part of our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2024, we performed a quantitative assessment using the relief-from-royalty method. As described above, we reduced our sales forecasts for 2025 and beyond in our Adventure reporting unit. As a result of this assessment, the carrying value of the Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX trademarks recorded within our Adventure reporting unit exceeded their estimated related fair values, thus impairments of the Rhino-Rack and MAXTRAX trademarks of $3,480 and $5,065, respectively, were recorded.

If we do not achieve the results reflected in the forecasts utilized in our impairment assessments, or if there are changes to market assumptions, all of which require significant estimates and assumptions, our valuation of the reporting unit, including related indefinite-lived intangible assets, could be adversely affected, and we may be required to impair an additional portion or all of the related goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and other long-lived assets which could adversely affect our operating results in the period of impairment.

Trademarks classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets by brand as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

Other Intangible Assets, net

The following table summarizes the changes in gross other intangible assets:

Other intangible assets, net of amortization as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

Amortization expense for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, was $9,784, $10,715, and $12,557, respectively. Future amortization expense for other intangible assets as of December 31, 2024 is as follows:

NOTE 7. ACCRUED LIABILITIES AND OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

Other long-term liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

NOTE 8. LONG-TERM DEBT, NET

Long-term debt as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, was as follows:

Foreign subsidiaries of the Company had term debt with financial institutions, which was repaid as of December 31, 2024. The foreign subsidiaries paid interest monthly on any borrowings on the credit facility as well as monthly payments on the term debt. As of December 31, 2023, the interest rate was approximately 3.2%. The credit facility was secured by certain assets of the foreign subsidiaries.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts. If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges. The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the expected cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the expected cash flow of the hedged item.

At December 31, 2024, the Company’s derivative contracts had remaining maturities of less thanone year. The counterparties to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings. The maximum net exposure of the Company’s credit risk to the counterparties is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty. As of December 31, 2024, there wasno such exposure to the counterparties. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain on all contracts, which was $600 as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s derivative counterparties have strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.

The Company held the following contracts designated as hedged instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

For contracts that qualify as effective hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Gains of $573 and $393 were reclassified to sales during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table presents the balance sheet classification and fair value of derivative instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 10. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) primarily consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in our forward foreign exchange contracts. The components of AOCI, net of tax, were as follows:

The effects on net loss of amounts reclassified from unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges for foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency translation adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

The Company’s policy is to classify reclassifications of cumulative foreign currency translation associated with continuing operations from AOCI to Other, net.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value based on current market pricing models.

The Company estimated the initial fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities primarily using the Monte-Carlo pricing model. Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuations of contingent consideration liabilities related to the acquisitions of RockyMounts and TRED included discount rates of 13.0% and 11.5%, respectively. Contingent consideration liabilities are subsequently remeasured at the estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period using financial projections of the acquired company, such as sales-based milestones and estimated probabilities of achievement, with the change in fair value recognized in contingent consideration (benefit) expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for such period. We measure the initial liability and remeasure the liability on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

The net sales threshold required for the payment of the MAXTRAX Contingent Consideration was not met during the measurement period ended June 30, 2023.

The following table summarizes the changes in contingent consideration liabilities:

As the contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period, significant increases or decreases in projected sales, discount rates or the time until payment is made could have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Our determination of fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities could change in future periods based on our ongoing evaluation of these significant unobservable inputs. As of December 31, 2024, the net sales threshold required for the payment of the TRED Contingent Consideration is not expected to be met.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, management estimates the fair value of each reporting unit using Level 3 inputs through a combination of the income approach based upon projected discounted cash flows of the reporting unit and the market approach. The fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs through the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method. The fair values are based on revenue and cash flow projections, royalty rates, and discount rates. Impairment of goodwill was $36,264, $0, and $52,071 during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets was $8,545, $0, and $40,240 during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. See Note 6 for additional information.

NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On August 6, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend program of $0.025 per share of the Company’s common stock (the “Quarterly Cash Dividend”) or $0.10 per share on an annualized basis. The declaration and payment of future Quarterly Cash Dividends is subject to the discretion of and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. In 2024, 2023 and 2022 our total Quarterly Cash Dividends were $3,831, $3,750 and $3,721, respectively. On March 5, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment on March 26, 2025 of the Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.025 to the record holders of shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on March 17, 2025.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations.

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share:

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, equity awards of 4,596,5,424, and 6,060, respectively, were outstanding and anti-dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of net loss per share for these periods.

NOTE 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the Company’s current 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2015 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2015 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500 shares. The 2015 Plan will continue in effect until December 2025 unless terminated sooner. As of December 31, 2024, the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan is 10,187 shares, subject to automatic annual increase equal to 5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Options Granted:

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued stock options for an aggregate of 1,250 shares under the 2015 Plan to directors and employees of the Company. Of the 1,250 options,1,140 options vest and become exercisable over a period oftwo years,100 vest infour equal consecutive quarterly tranches from the date of grant, and 10 vest inone quarterly tranche from the date of grant. All of the issued stock options expireten years from the date of the grant.

For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Using these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $3,818, $186, and $3,661, respectively, which will be amortized as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the options.

Restricted Stock Awards Granted:

On March 11, 2024, the Company issued and granted employees restricted stock awards of 100 restricted shares under the 2015 Plan, of which 50 and 50 shares will vest and become nonforfeitable on each March 11, 2025 and March 11, 2026, respectively. As these restricted stock awards vest over time, the fair value of the restricted stock was estimated as of the date of grant using the grant price of $6.75 per share. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards was approximately $675 which will be amortized over the expected term of 2 years.

Market Condition Restricted Shares Granted:

On March 14, 2023, the Company awarded the Executive Chairman 500 restricted shares under the 2015 Plan, of which 250 and 250 shares will vest if, on or before March 14, 2033, the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded $15.00 and $18.00 per share fortwenty consecutive trading days, respectively. For computing the fair value of the restricted shares with a market condition, the fair value of the restricted stock award grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Monte-Carlo pricing model with the assumptions below.

On March 4, 2022, the Company issued and granted to the Executive Chairman and certain employees restricted stock awards of 700 restricted shares under the 2015 Plan, of which 700 restricted shares will vest if, on or before March 4, 2032, the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s common stock shall have equaled or exceeded $50.00 per share fortwenty consecutive trading days. For computing the fair value of the restricted shares with a market condition, the fair value of the restricted stock award grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Monte-Carlo pricing model with the assumptions below.

Using these assumptions, the fair value of the market condition restricted stock awards granted on March 14, 2023 and March 4, 2022 were approximately $4,046 and $10,761, respectively.

The total non-cash stock compensation expense for continuing operations related to stock options and restricted stock awards recorded by the Company was as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, stock-based compensation costs were classified as selling, general and administrative expense. A summary of changes in outstanding options and restricted stock awards during the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:

The following table summarizes the exercise price range, weighted average exercise price, and remaining contractual lives by significant ranges for options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2024:

The intrinsic value of options exercised was $160, $351, and $4,381 during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The intrinsic value of restricted stock awards vested was $722, $1,891, and $3,336 during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Total fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $1,050, $3,461, and $5,361, respectively. Total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $877, $1,438, and $1,157, respectively.

The fair value of unvested restricted stock awards is determined based on the market price of our shares of common stock on the grant date or using the Monte-Carlo pricing model. As of December 31, 2024, there were 1,045 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $2,139 related to unvested stock options, as well as 1,100 unvested restricted stock awards and unrecognized compensation cost of $4,339 related to unvested restricted stock awards. Unrecognized compensation cost of unvested stock options and restricted stock awards are expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.0 years and 1.2 years, respectively.

NOTE 15. RESTRUCTURING

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 and $3,223, respectively, of restructuring charges related to these actions. The Company has incurred $5,171 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 continue to 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.

The following table summarizes the restructuring charges, payments and the remaining liabilities related to restructuring costs at December 31, 2024, which are included within accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods. The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Anticipated costs related to litigation matters are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and Department of Justice matter discussed below. There is a reasonable possibility of loss from contingencies in excess of the amounts accrued by the Company in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets; however, the actual amounts of such possible losses cannot currently be reasonably estimated by the Company. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the Company may subsequently determine that it may incur losses from such contingencies materially in excess of the amounts initially accrued by the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, stock price, consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings.” and Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Legal expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss except as described below.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

In January 2021, Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. (“BDEL”) wrote to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) outlining its new cradle solution for certain models of its avalanche beacon transceivers to prevent such transceivers from switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode. The proposed new cradle solution was designed to improve transceiver safety by locking the transceiver into “send” mode prior to use so that it would not switch unexpectedly out of “send” mode. BDEL also requested approval for the CPSC Fast-Track Program for a voluntary product recall to implement this cradle solution. The CPSC approved the recall and entered into a Corrective Action Plan agreement with BDEL in March 2021. BDEL received a letter from the CPSC, dated October 28, 2021, stating that the CPSC is investigating whether BDEL has timely complied with the reporting requirements of Section 15(b) of the Consumer Protection Safety Act and related regulations regarding certain models of avalanche transceivers switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode.

Separately, on April 21, 2022, BDEL filed a Section 15(b) report and applied for Fast-Track consideration for a voluntary recall, consisting of free repair or replacement of such malfunctioning models of avalanche transceivers, which would not switch from “send” mode to “search” mode due to an electronic malfunction in the reed switch or foil. The CPSC approved the recall and entered into a Corrective Action Plan agreement with BDEL in August 2022. BDEL received a letter from the CPSC, dated January 17, 2023, stating that the CPSC is investigating whether BDEL has timely complied with the reporting requirements of Section 15(b) of the Consumer Protection Safety Act and related regulations regarding the malfunction in the reed switch or foil in certain models of avalanche transceivers switching out of “search” mode. BDEL responded to the CPSC’s investigation by letter dated March 31, 2023, accompanied with documents responsive to the CPSC’s requests. The CPSC asked for further clarification and documents, and BDEL sent a responsive letter accompanied by additional documents on June 23, 2023. On September 6, 2023, the CPSC requested further clarification and information regarding the reed switch issue, to which BDEL responded on October 6 and 13, 2023.

By letters dated October 12, 2023 and December 18, 2023, respectfully, BDEL was notified by the CPSC that the agency staff had concluded that BDEL failed to timely meet its statutory reporting obligations under the Consumer Product Safety Act with respect to certain models of avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode and certain models of avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL not switching from “send” mode into “search” mode, that BDEL made a material misrepresentation in a report to the CPSC, and that the agency staff intends to recommend that the CPSC impose civil monetary penalties of $16,135 and $9,000, respectively, for the two matters described above.

On November 20, 2023 and February 8, 2024, respectively, BDEL submitted a comprehensive response disputing the CPSC’s findings and conclusions in the October 12, 2023 and December 18, 2023 letters, including the amount of any potential penalties. The CPSC ultimately disagreed with our position and the agency voted to refer the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice for further proceedings. The Company and BDEL intend to strongly contest and vigorously defend against any claims which may be asserted against them by the Department of Justice or the CPSC.

John C. Walbrecht, the former President of BDEL and the Company, received a letter from the CPSC dated June 25, 2024 alleging that in his personal capacity he knowingly violated the Consumer Product Safety Act by failing to timely report the occurrence resulting in beacons switching unexpectedly out of “send” mode. The staff of the CPSC recommended a $5,000 fine against Mr. Walbrecht personally. Pursuant to the Company’s by-laws, the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Walbrecht and pay his legal fees, and he has provided an undertaking to the Company that the Company will be entitled to recover those expenses if it is ultimately determined that he was not entitled to indemnification. On August 26, 2024, Mr. Walbrecht’s independent counsel responded to the CPSC, denying the allegations of its June 25, 2024, letter and rejecting its demand for a penalty.

On January 23, 2025, the Company and BDEL were each served with grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah requiring the production of documents relating to avalanche transmitters distributed by BDEL. The Company and BDEL intend to cooperate with this investigation.

Based on currently available information, the Company believes an unfavorable outcome with the CPSC is probable, however, we cannot reasonably estimate on what terms this matter will be resolved with the CPSC or the U.S. Department of Justice. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a liability of $2,500 representing the low end of the range of our estimated exposure. The Company does not have a better estimate of the loss; therefore the low-end of the range was recorded as an accrued liability during the first quarter of 2024 and a corresponding expense is included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

We believe it is reasonably possible that a change in our ability to estimate the amount of loss could occur in the near term and that the change in the estimate could be material. In addition, as this matter is ongoing, the Company is currently unable to predict its duration, resources required or outcome, or the impact it may have on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows. Any penalties imposed by the CPSC or other regulators could be costly to us and could damage our business and reputation as well as have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, stock price, consolidated financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred legal expenses of $3,088, which includes the $2,500 recorded liability noted above, and $476, respectively, in efforts to resolve this matter. These legal expenses are included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Clarus Corporation v. HAP Trading, LLC and Harsh A. Padia

On September 23, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against HAP Trading, LLC and Harsh A. Padia (“HAP Trading”), seeking disgorgement of profits from transactions in the Company’s common stock and related derivative securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Clarus Corporation v. Caption Management, LLC, et al.

On March 8, 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Caption Management, LLC, Caption Partners II LP, Caption GP, LLC, William Cooper and Jason Strasser (“Caption Management”), seeking disgorgement of profits from transactions in the Company’s stock and related derivative securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred legal expenses of $754 and $1,288, respectively, in the efforts to bring the cases against HAP Trading and Caption Management to trial. These legal expenses are included in legal costs and regulatory matter expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

Consolidated loss from continuing operations before income taxes consists of the following:

The components of the benefit for income taxes attributable to continuing operations consist of the following:

The allocation of income tax expense (benefit) between continuing and discontinued operations was as follows:

The Company’s foreign operations that are considered to be permanently reinvested have statutory tax rates of approximately 23% to 30%.

The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate reported in the Company’s financial statements:

The effective income tax rate of 25.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024, differed compared to the statutory tax rates primarily due to the impact of recording a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets and impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, all of which are non-deductible for tax purposes. The deferred tax asset write-offs during the year ended December 31, 2023, relate to state NOLs that expired in 2023 that had been previously fully reserved via a valuation allowance.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting carrying amounts and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Significant components of the Company’s existing deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Certain deferred income tax balances are not netted as they represent deferred amounts applicable to different taxing jurisdictions. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of the U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024, because the ultimate realization of those assets does not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and net operating loss and credit carryforwards expire. The estimates and judgments associated with the Company’s valuation allowance on deferred tax assets are considered critical due to the amount of deferred tax assets recorded by the Company on its consolidated balance sheets and the judgment required in determining the Company’s future taxable income. The need for a valuation allowance is reassessed at each reporting period.

The net change in the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets was $22,630, ($2,609), and ($1,055) during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. A roll forward of our valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and research and experimentation credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $0 and $5,439, respectively.

Tax positions are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company conducts its business globally. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions and are subject to examination for the open tax years in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions of 2018 through 2024 and in the foreign jurisdictions of 2010 through 2024. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of total unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $2,863 and $890, respectively, of which $433 and $798 would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. Unrecognized tax benefits that reduce a net operating loss, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward are presented as a reduction to deferred income taxes. As a result, the Company classified $2,438 and $516 of its unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest and penalty expense recognized related to uncertain tax positions were not significant during the years ending December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Total accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, were not significant.

NOTE 18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate our business structure withintwo segments. These segments are defined based on the internal financial reporting used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the Executive Chairman and Director (Principal Executive Officer). The CODM allocates resources based on revenue and operating income primarily through the annual budget and periodic forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. Corporate costs consist of corporate office expenses including compensation, benefits, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction costs, and other administrative costs, as well as charges related to certain
